"History shows that, when people aim at the realization of a particular ideal, they generally succeed in getting just the opposite of what they want.
Thus, conservatives try to conserve a given state of affairs; what they generally get is revolution. Revolutionaries try to obtain liberty, justice, and equality by violent means: tyranny and the enslavement of the masses are the usual consequence of their efforts. When the prevailing ideal is to get rich, the result, as we see to-day in Europe and America, is that most of the members of the wealth-loving society are reduced to poverty and an abject dependence on their plutocratic or bureaucratic rulers." - - Aldous Huxley, Introduction to Hopousia / 1940
