“Morals lead to order; passions lead to revolution.”
― Libido Dominandi: Sexual Liberation and Political Control
― Libido Dominandi: Sexual Liberation and Political Control
“Morals meant the advent of tranquility, and tranquility meant the end of revolutionary fervor. Therefore, the state must promote immorality. Given man's natural and inordinate inclination to pleasure, the immorality most congenial to manipulation is sexual immorality. Hence the revolutionary state must promote sexual license if it is to remain truly revolutionary and retain its hold on power.”
