"The phenomenon is the preoccupation of the vast majority of people of our time to seek in all things, the absolutely most efficient method".

Wrote Jacques in his book "Le Système technicien".

" does not tolerate being judged; i.e. technicians cannot stand it if we make an ethical or moral judgement on what they do.
[...]
I can make all the speeches I want about ; technicians don't care. They won't change anything about what they are doing, have decided to do and are conditioned to do.
For the technician is not free, they are conditioned. They are moulded both by their education, by their practices and then by the objective."

Super émission sur l'histoire de l'anarchisme. Ce 4ème épisode articule Politique et . Les voix de Jacques , Bernard , Murray ou Françoise d#Eaubonne illustrent les propos de Patrick Chastenet et Edouard Jourdain. Émouvant et instructif ! Découverte ou piqûre de rappel, toujours bien utile en ces temps agités.

"American propaganda is founded in great measure on Dewey's theory of teaching." - Jacques Ellul "Propaganda"

"Among those who participated actively and enthusiastically in Wilson's war were the progressive intellectuals, people of the John Dewey circle, who took great pride, as you can see from their own writings of the time, in having shown that what they called the "more intelligent members of the
community," namely themselves, were able to drive a reluctant population into a war by terrifying them and eliciting jingoist fanaticism." - Chomsky "Media Control"

There is another link, with a copy to the entire post linked in the above toot. On this linked page it was easier to notice the link to the .pdf of the entire book. I think Jacques Ellul fought the Nazis as part of the French Resistance.
