"When we become rulers, we shall at each suitable occasion compare
our beneficent rule with the former unsystematic
administrations.... The mistakes of the administrations of the
Gentiles will be pictured by us in the most lurid colors: we will
sow such antipathy and hatred toward these governments that the
masses will prefer peace and quiet in a condition of servitude to
the rights of the so-called liberty which for many ages had so
tormented them and destroyed the very springs of human existence
and which were exploited by adventurers, who did not realize what
they were doing.
"The masses will become so satiated with the useless changes of
administration, which we instigated when we were undermining their
institutions, that they will accept anything that we may give them
rather than risk undergoing again such struggle and disorder....
Moreover, we will, through public criticism, especially emphasize
the mistakes of the Gentile administrations which caused mankind to
suffer for many centuries through lack of real understanding in all
that concerned its true welfare, pursuing fantastic projects of
social welfare and not noticing that these projects made worse
instead of better the state of general relationships which are the
basis of human existence.
"Our principles and faith will be especially useful inasmuch as
they will be put forward and interpreted by us as a contrast to the
old and decayed order of society.
