I love it. Great quotes. Don't expect much response, this is an international site. I'd say 95% of the people on here want to be controlled by government. Within that 95%, if they don't want to be controlled by government, they want to control others thru government. Such is the state of the world, regretfully.
But.....those were great!

“Naturally the common people don't want war; neither in Russia, nor in England, nor in America, nor in Germany. That is understood. But after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.”

Only distinction..... "tell them they are being attacked......vs. being attacked." There's miles of difference between the two.

live at the expense of everybody else.
