Walter Said:

what does this English essay mean?

We Answered:

You can argue FOR the horrible things that have happened within the world (British rule in India, Russian purges, etc. Read a history book if you don't know what these are), but the only way to argue for them is to say what no one wants to hear. This is why politics and politicians speak in vague terms that do and mean nothing.

To sum it up in a sentence: Tell the people what they want to hear, not what they should hear.
