until they have
   complete control over all child rearing practices. And then they will
   move on to another cause.
   
   220. Suppose you asked leftists to make a list of ALL the things that
   were wrong with society, and then suppose you instituted EVERY social
   change that they demanded. It is safe to say that within a couple of
   years the majority of leftists would find something new to complain
   about, some new social "evil" to correct because, once again, the
   leftist is motivated less by distress at society's ills than by the
   need to satisfy his drive for power by imposing his solutions on
   society.
   
   221. Because of the restrictions placed on their thoughts and behavior
   by their high level of socialization, many leftists of the
   over-socialized type cannot pursue power in the ways that other people
   do. For them the drive for power has only one morally acceptable
   outlet, and that is in the struggle to impose their morality on
   everyone.
   
   222. Leftists, especially those of the oversocialized type, are True
   Believers in the sense of Eric Hoffer's book, "The True Believer." But
   not all True Believers are of the same psychological type as leftists.
   Presumably a truebelieving nazi, for instance is very different
   psychologically from a truebelieving leftist. Because of their
   capacity for single-minded devotion to a cause, True Believers are a
   useful, perhaps a necessary, ingredient of any revolutionary movement.
   This presents a problem with which we must admit we don't know how to
   deal. We aren't sure how to harness the energies of the True Believer
   to a revolution against technology. At present all we can say is that
   no True Believer will make a safe recruit to the revolution unless his
   commitment is exclusively to the destruction of technology. If he is
   committed also to another ideal, he may want to use technology as a
   to
