This is a great article that will hopefully open some eyes about abuse of power at the upper echelons of society. Just as Orwells 1984 was never meant to be a road map for the powerful to shape society, de Sade's writing was never meant to be a guide for the elites to exercise amoral sexual power over those who cannot resist. Both are warnings of how unrestrained power strips empathy and facilitates tyranny.
