Those Goering quotes, or Machiavelli's writings, are simple observations of the obvious. Empirically proven all too often in history. They do not speak compliments about humans, especially when humans show up in great groups and crowds - but they are true.
The mechanisms of power, and how to obtain it and keep it, maybe have not significantly changed since millenia. And why should they have? Why changing them when they so well helped the ambitions of those seeking power ?
IQ and size of a crowd, are reverse proportional.
