“Every state's emblematic propaganda is worshiped by the consumer-citizen as a super-logo, a brand Juggernaut.”
“Logos and branding are so important. In a big part of the world, people cannot read French or English--but are great in remembering signs”
“We have become a nation not of citizens but of consumers.”
“Americans used to be 'citizens.' Now we are 'consumers.”
“Propaganda is to a democracy what the bludgeon is to a totalitarian state.”
