For those that don't want to look it up, it's a metaphor used by many, in the Latin as early contribution (maybe original) by Bernard of Chartres, of the dwarf 'standing on the shoulders of giants'. Quite in tune with know your enemy and know yourself as well as those that do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it. This is what liberal re-education wishes to defeat, so to gain power over the re-edumacated. Power over the children equates to power over a nation or society, a tactic quite well used today, and which I wouldn't doubt is buried somewhere in Mein Kampf.
