A monopoly on the means of communication may define a ruling

Summary

This quote suggests that having control over the means of communication can be a more accurate indicator of a ruling elite than controlling the means of production, as proposed by Marxism. It implies that those in power who control information and communication have a significant influence over society, as they are able to shape and manipulate public opinion. By controlling communication channels, such as media outlets, individuals or groups can maintain their dominance and perpetuate their interests, effectively solidifying their position as ruling elites.

What is it the I'll want from you? Not love: that would be too much to ask. Not forgiveness, which isn't yours to bestow. Only a listener, perhaps; only someone who will see me. Don't prettify me though, whatever else you do: I have no wish to be a decorated skull. But I leave myself in your hands. What choice do I have? By the time you read this last page, that- if anywhere- is the only place I will be.
