It [war] eats up the surplus goods, and helps preserve the special mental atmosphere that a hierarchcal society needs. War, it will be seen, is now a purely internal affair…The war is waged by each ruling group against its own subjects, and the object of the war is…to keep the [hierarchical] structure of society intact…
– George Orwell in 1984
