Anton said that the lady was nice as a person, but was totally indoctrinated by a platform of beliefs that she could not even comprehend, that she merely lived by and propagated. Anton told the audience that the lady proudly showed her the book where her ideology came from.

      "The problem with the world," said Anton, "is, that much of humanity regards itself, indeed, like the cockroaches that the lady had talked about, and this has been going on throughout history, but never as strong as today. It has to do with the perceived identity of the human being. In the primitive and feudal ages wealth was that which was taken from the land. Then came the age of the financial oligarchy and the mercantile traders. In this new age, wealth was deemed to be derived by trading and lending. Except, such perceptions are mythologies, created to protect the oligarchs. My great grandfather was clear on that. He knew that the land, by itself, doesn't produce anything. The wealth that he stole was produced by the intelligence of the farmers. He also understood that his financier activities didn't really create any wealth. It merely created an expanded opportunity for taking wealth away from others. His financiering created a bond of obligation that allowed him to steal from the creative processes of other people.

      "My great grandfather also became a small scale industrialist in his later years, which allowed him to steal more directly from the creative processes of the workers that he owned. The communists killed him for that. Still the communists didn't recognize the greater evil that his philosophy represented. They didn't see the balance that his class tried to maintain. On one hand the oligarchs had to encourage a certain degree of scientific and technological development, by which real wealth is created, but they couldn't allow this development to get out of hand which would have threatened the power structure on which their looting depended. In other words, they had to allow society to develop to some degree, but they also had to demand death from a certain point on.

      "The communists never understood this philosophy" Anton assured the assembly. "They had declared that the land and the industrial means for production belong to the people by whose labor wealth is produced. Therefore, communism became a system that merely redistributed the fruits of human labor. The Soviet's never understood that the society's real source of wealth is not based on human labor, but on the scientific and technological developments which make humanity's labor more effective and more powerful. They should have learned their lesson not from Carl Marx, who was educated and guided by the British oligarchy, but from Alexander Hamilton and Henry Carey, the pioneers of the American system of economy that was squarely founded on the scientific and technological development of society. They could have learned this even from my grandfather, in a round about way."

      Anton then asked the assembly never to forget that the oligarchs still exist and still endeavor to run the world, and that their philosophy has not changed one bit. She said that the oligarchs are alarmed by human development, especially scientific and technological development, wherever it is taking place, and they are committed to do everything in their power to reverse the process which they have succeeded to do in large measure. "And still the want more," said Anton. "That is why they hope to drag the world into nuclear war, which luckily has failed so far, and why they are promoting evermore deindustrialization, ecological terrorism, and a variety of other forms of generating death among humanity with the purpose of shattering any hope for a new human renaissance. Their goal is to kill the majority of humanity, up to five billion people, for the same reason that my grandfather had killed people from the ranks of his workers as though they were but cockroaches, indeed. By this process the modern oligarchs hope to recreate the golden age of feudalism, and by and large, humanity and all of us included, allow this to happen unimpeded. The irony is, that countless people actively support the oligarchic demands for depopulation."
