"With a little industry and application, anyone who is willing to extricate himself from the system of shared ideology and propaganda, will readily see through the modes of distortion developed by substantial segments of the intelligentsia. Everybody is capable of doing that. If such analysis is often carried out poorly, that is because, quite commonly, social and political analysis is produced to defend special interests rather than to account for the actual events.
Precisely because of this tendency, one must be careful not to give the impression, which in any event is false, that only intellectuals equipped with special training are capable of such analytic work. Is fact, that is just what the intelligentsia would like us to think: they pretend to be engaged in an esoteric enterprise, inaccessible to simple people. But that’s nonsense. The social sciences generally, and above all the analysis of contemporary affairs, are quite accessible to anyone who wants to take an interest in these matters. The alleged complexity, depth, unobscurity of these questions is part of the illusion propagated of the system of ideological control, which aims to make the issues seem remote from the general population and to persuade them of their incapacity to organize their own affairs or to understand the social world in which they live without the tutelage of intermediaries. For that reason alone one should be careful not to link the analysis of social issues with scientific topics, which for their part, do require special training and techniques, and thus a special intellectual frame of reference, before they can be seriously investigated."
