The hope of the future does not rest, as commonly believed, in winning the
people of the "buffer fringe" to one superpower or the other, but rather in
the invention of new weapons and tactics that will be so cheap to obtain and
so easy to use that they will increase the effectiveness of guerrilla
warfare so greatly that the employment of our present weapons of mass
destruction will become futile, and on this basis there can be a revival of
democracy and of political decentralization in all three parts of our
present world.  This possible development in political and military matters,
would, of course, require the development of decentralized economic
techniques such as would arise if sunlight became the chief energy source
for production and the advancement of science made it possible to
manufacture any desired substance by molecular rearrangement....
