{{quote|''Order of the Stick! I will [[Blood Bath|bathe in your blood]] [[Comically Missing the Point|with lavender bath gel and a good loofah]]!''|'''The Monster in the Darkness''', ''[[The Order of the Stick]]''}}

{{quote|What you’ll find, historically, is that his is the perspective of every decent cog in a bad wheel: not even slightly [[Obliviously Evil|unaware or demented]]. There are never ''good'' cogs in a bad wheel, but there are always ''decent'' ones. You will find this exact same Oriental mentality in: Reinhard Spitzy’s ''How We Squandered The Reich'' (National Socialism); Alexander Barmine’s ''One Who Survived'' (early Communism); or Victor Klemperer’s ''The Lesser Evil'' (late Communism).
The perspective is that—sure—the system is bad. It is bad. Criminal? Sure. […] But what’s the alternative? There isn’t any alternative. I mean, if the professors stop running the world, who will take over? Who else can run a world? Anyone in here got some world-running experience? [[Ferris Bueller's Day Off|Bueller? Bueller? Bueller…]]
Therefore, the System must be [[Internal Reformist|reformed from the inside by men and women of good will]], who will make up for its various crimes by creating a [[Mikhail Gorbachev|new socialism with a human face]]. Yadda yadda. Exit: the New Deal State. Enter: the New Deal State, with prediction markets. Or “charter cities.” Or whatever. Not that any of these professorial innovations have any chance of actually happening, of course. Frankly, it’d be stupid if it wasn’t so funny.
