More From Susan Sontag

In accordance to the principles of doublethink, it does not matter if the war is not real, or when it is, that victory is not possible. the war is not meant to be won. it is meant to be continuous. the essential act of modern warfare is the destruction of the produce of human labour. a hierarchical society is only possible on the basis of poverty and ignorance. in principle, the war effort is always planned to keep society on the brink of starvation. the war is waged by the ruling group against its own subjects, and its object is not victory over eurasia or eastasia, but to keep the very structure of society intact.

The nearer we come to the full military suppression of the bourgeoisie, the more dangerous becomes to us the high flood of petty-bourgeois anarchism. and the struggle against these elements cannot be waged with propaganda and agitation alone. ... the struggle must also be waged by applying force and compulsion.
