Anyone who wants to rule men first tries to humiliate them, to trick them out of their rights and their capacity for resistance, until they are as powerless before him as animals. He uses them like animals and, even if he does not tell them so, in himself he always knows quite clearly that they mean just as little to him; when he speaks to his intimates he will call them sheep or cattle. His ultimate aim is to incorporate them into himself and suck the substance out of them ... The worse he has treated them, the more he despises them. When they are no more use at all, he disposes of them as he does his excrement, simply seeing to it that they do not poison the air of his house.
