Aldous Huxley on Propaganda

← Back to Aldous Huxley Profile
The propagandist's purpose is to make one set of people forget that certain other sets of people are human.
Aldous Huxley
All war propaganda consists, in the last resort, in substituting diabolical abstractions for human beings. Similarly, those who defend war have invented a pleasant sounding vocabulary of abstractions in which to describe the process of mass murder.
Aldous Huxley
