Revelation
……Am I getting through to you, Mr. Urrea? You get up on your little twenty-one inch screen and howl about America and democracy. There is no America. There is no democracy. There is only IBM and ITT and AT&T and DuPont, Dow, Union Carbide, and Exxon. Those are the nations of the world today.What do you think the Russians talk about in their councils of state -- Karl Marx? They get out their linear programming charts, statistical decision theories, minimax solutions, and compute the price-cost probabilities of their transactions and investments, just like we do.
We no longer live in a world of nations and ideologies. The world is a college of corporations, inexorably determined by the immutable bylaws of business. The world is a business. It has been since man crawled out of the slime. And our children will live to stop their perfect world in which there's one vast and ecumenical holding company, for whom all men will work to serve a common profit, in which all men will hold a share of stock, the bare necessities provided, all anxieties tranquilized, all boredom amused.
And I have chosen you, LEGION, to preach this evangel.
Urrea: But why me?
- LEGION 3
And on the seventh day.......
