Two Forms of Power by Gerald Hüther

„There are, so to speak, two forms of exercising power. One is the old one we all know: that is oppression.

And then here in the West I have come to know another one that I had not really thought about before.

That is seduction. Seduction is something very insidious. Because you can at least resist paternalism and violence, power.

Then you remain a subject. You can say: 'I am, here I stand, I can do no other.'

Someone who is seduced stands there not even knowing where they are.

They protect their seducers. And such a person will of course always contribute to maintaining the system of seduction.

And that is why, in many ways here, it is a form of securing power by making people seduced rather than oppressed.

By the way, the church already knew that.“
