Quote by Robert Anton Wilson
A monopoly on the means of communication may define a ruling elite more precisely than the celebrated Marxian formula of monopoly in the means of production.
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.
