Now you understand why your betters are going to replace you.

If your citizens won’t go along with what you have planned for them, open the border and import new citizens by the millions.

All part of electing a new people....Communists have been doing it for over a century now.

Bertolt Brecht, "The Solution"

After the uprising of the 17th June
The Secretary of the Writers Union
Had leaflets distributed in the Stalinallee
Stating that the people
Had forfeited the confidence of the government
And could win it back only
By redoubled efforts. Would it not be easier
In that case for the government
To dissolve the people And elect another?

We are all just an embarrassment to our Overseers.
