Easiest way to gain control over the people. Destroy their freedoms, make them dependent upon the govt, class warfare. It gained momentum with the "Great Society". Like Tenchusatsu's story... Message 22610378 One day, Stalin instructed his generals to impose some drastic measures on the villagers. The generals said they didn’t believe the villagers would ever stand for it. “Sure they will. Bring me a chicken,” Stalin said. Stalin then proceeded to pluck the chicken’s feathers out one by one. The chicken squawked and squawked. When he was done plucking the chicken, Stalin said, “Give me some chicken feed.” Then he demonstrated how the plucked chicken would still eat out of his hand.
