" "If you look over the history of regulation — railroad regulation, financial regulation and so on — you find that, quite commonly, it's either initiated by the economic concentrations that are being regulated, or it's supported by them. And the reason is because they know that, sooner or later, they can take over the regulators and essentially run what they do. They can offer what amounts to bribes — offer them jobs or whatever it may be — it's an advantage to the regulators to accommodate themselves to the will of the powerful. It happens naturally in many ways, and ends up with what's called “regulatory capture.” The business being regulated is in fact running the regulators.

Additional quotes by Noam Chomsky
[…] there are dangerous tendencies in the ideology of the welfare state intelligentsia who claim to possess the technique and understanding required to manage our “postindustrial society” and to organize an international society dominated by the American superpower. [...] Insofar as the technique of management and control exists, it can be used to consolidate the authority of those who exercise it and to diminish spontaneous and free experimentation with new social forms, as it can limit the possibilities for reconstruction of society in the interests of those who are now, to a greater or lesser extent, dispossessed.
في العشرينات و أوائل الثلاثينات أوضح هارولج لزويل مؤسس علم الاتصالات و أحد منظري العلوم السياسية المرموقين ، أنه لا يجب أن نستسلم للدوجمات الديموقراطية ،التي تقول بأن الرجال قادرون على الحكم على مصالحهم ، فهم ليسوا كذلك ! نحن اكثر الناس قدرة على تحديد و الحكم على المصالح العامة ، و بالتالي انطلاقا من تلك القاعدة الأخلاقية البسيطة لا بد و أن نتأكد من أنه لن تتاح لهم الفرصة للتصرف بناء على سوء أحكامهم
فيما يسمى اليوم بالدولة الشمولية أو الدولة العسكرية هو أمر غير مستحيل ، فقط عليك أن تمسك بهراوات فوق رؤوسهم ، و إذا خرجوا عن ذلك الخط يمكنك أن تحطم الهراوات فوق رؤوسهم ، و لكن في مجتمع أكثر ديموقراطية و حرية فقدت هذه الوسيلة ،فعليك إذن اللجوء إلى أساليب الدعاية و المنطق ، فالدعاية في النظام الديموقراطي هي بمثابة الهراوة في الدولة الشمولية
