The old despotisms limited themselves to locking man up in his private life; those of the new stamp prefer that he have nothing but a public life.
To domesticate man all one has to do is politicize all his gestures.

  1. The original Spanish is:

    Los viejos despotismos se limitaban a encerrar al hombre en la vida privada, los del nuevo cuño prefieren que no tenga sino vida pública.
    Para domesticar al hombre basta politizar todos sus gestos.
