I think he knew the origin, but chose it anyway. It is an elegant phrase. Communists could be very eloquent.
How else do you think they managed to convince so many people to be communists?
- ebfe 10y agoThe free stuff?

If you got some time, there is a great documentation called 'The Century of the Self', which shows (among other things) how modern marketing in western countries started and evolved.
