1. Conformity of thought. No independent thought. Consensus through propaganda.
2. Weaken your citizens. Weak people = strong country (political rule).
3. Keep your citizens busy and preoccupied with the minutiae of daily living, and thus have no time for other things (e.g. politics).
4. Humiliate your citizens. Keep their self-esteem low, belittle their worth. Incite them to attack and distrust one another, let them live in a climate of fear.
5. Impoverish your citizens. Let them have the basic necessities, and rob or tax their surplus wealth (includes price inflation and excessively printing money). Impoverished people have low aspirations.
If the above five methods fail, kill them.

1,壹民:统一思想。
2,弱民:国强民弱,治国之道,务在弱民。
3,疲民:为民寻事,疲于奔命,使民无瑕顾及他事。
4,辱民:一是无自尊自信;二是唆之相互检举揭发,终日生活于恐惧氛围中。
5,贫民:除了生活必须,剥夺余银余财(即通货膨胀或狂印钞票);人穷志短。
五者若不灵,杀之。
