Collectivism means the end of truth. To make a totalitarian system function efficiently, it is not enough that everybody should be forced to work for the ends selected by those in control; it is essential that the people should come to regard these ends as their own. This is brought about by propaganda and by complete control of all sources of information.
Friedrich A. Hayek, “The Road to Serfdom: A Condensation from the Book,” Reader’s Digest (April 1945), p. 11.
