The World Controllers do believe in moral education, but they determine the morals, not God or reason. Imagine the folly of allowing people to play elaborate games which do nothing whatever to increase consumption. Nowadays the Controllers won't approve of any new game unless it can be shown that it requires at least as much apparatus as the most complicated of existing games. Like everything else, government controls the games people are allowed to play. The priority here is not only that people enjoy themselves, but that the economy also benefits.
History is bunk.
With no God or other divine morals, the past is regarded as backward and detrimental. Wheels must turn steadily, but cannot turn untended. There must be men to tend them, men as steady as the wheels upon their axles, sane men, obedient men, stable in contentment. Mustapha Mond in chapter 3. This is the justification for totalitarian government.
