Do not be deceived by the outside appearance of order in our plutocratic society. It fares with it as it does with the older norms of war$$$ that there is an outside look of quite wonderful order about it; how neat and comforting the steady march of the regiment; how quiet and respectable the sergeants look; how clean the polished cannon ... the looks of adjutant and sergeant as innocent-looking as may be$$$ nay$$$ the very orders for destruction and plunder are given with a quiet precision which seems the very token of a good conscience; this is the mask that lies before the ruined cornfield and the burning cottage$$$ and mangled bodies$$$ the untimely death of worthy men$$$ the desolated home.
