I don't see how that equates to telling people that they are 'stupid' if they work for someone else Possibly because the ideal of the "Commonwealth" (originally meaning a state governed for the common good as opposed to governed for the benefit of a given class of owners) is a British invention. There is also a a name for things which consume a hosts (Commonwealth) resources and provide nothing in return to the host (Commonwealth), which seems to be the authors ideal in the "I'm so much better than the brainless masses" remark - it's "parasite". The "don't be a 'drone'" ideal may work in fantasy land, but it sure doesn't work like that on Planet Reality. Unless of course the writer is willing to pay for his own ambulance (after he built it himself of course), drive it to the hospital (which he also built himself), conduct his own surgery, create his own drugs from scratch, etc etc - I'll wager he doesn't label the attending surgeon a 'brainless lackey' if this situation arises. What's the best way to make a million pounds/dollars? Write a book about how to make a million pounds/dollars and have the gullible buy it.
