Rows upon rows of head-bowed peasants content to live in concrete tenements and eat plain white rice, to have their access to culture and their formation of ideas neutered and warped by pervasive ideology, to be forbidden from even researching certain subjects or broaching certain topics. Legions of conformists who will happily stand behind any public hammering down of the nail that sticks up, and who are utterly blind to the ruling class that they are helping to enshrine in the name of the social body.
