As political and economic freedom diminishes, sexual freedom tends compensatingly to increase. And the dictator (unless he happens to be puritanical as well as power-loving) will do well to encourage that freedom. In conjunction with the freedom to daydream under the influence of dope and movies, and the freedom to indulge in uninhibited sexual promiscuity, the freedom to ignore politics and the freedom to do what one likes in the field of fundamental religion will help to reconcile his subjects to the servitude which is their lot.
