The propaganda was certainly absorbed. Too bad the "successful" ones are not bright enough to examine actions and facts in a rational way.
Amazon's Jeff Bezos bought the Washington Post. Read about Google's Eric Schmidt. It is true that Bezos and Schmidt are Bilderbergers; but Newton was no libertarian.

I have published over 300 magazine and newspaper articles. Most of those were business profiles of some kind or another, but two were science fiction; and I placed four poems in computer magazines. I ran for Congress; and was elected a precinct delegate to a state GOP convention. While completing my bachelors in criminology, I served for two years on a city-county board for community corrections. One Christmas past, my wife and I built robots; now we are building a home security system. And I am not special in any way.
Millions of people do stuff like this every day. We enjoy productive leisure, by the paradoxical effects of division of labor: because we can focus on narrow repetitive tasks we can take on more of them.
But that depends on there being billions of us; and our having the freedom to do as we please. That latter is the tougher problem.
