A new hobgoblin—real or imagined—is to convince the public to give the state more money and power. The use of “secondhand dealers in ideas” is necessary to get the masses on board with the new problem to be “solved.” They are not thinkers. Those are the ones who parrot propaganda: writers, journalists, and those who fancy themselves as political scientists and analysts. They are merely members of the propaganda army.
