Comrade Fahd sent me this: "Found in Guy Debord's Societe du Spectacle:  And he who becomes master  of a city used to being free and does not destroy her can expect to be  destroyed by her, because always she has as pretext in rebellion the name of  liberty and her old customs, which never through either length of time or  benefits are forgotten, unless citizens are disunited or dispersed, they do  not forget that name and those institutions...."
