The fallacy of "what people want"

Is so big this fallacy used by so many people. Is use by the fake left with their reformist- at best- policies. Is used by the right and the fascist. Is use by former revolutionaries when they became tired, they give up, they are bought or they became traitors. And is use by the very system itself!

The business men, the elites, they will say that they are giving the people what they want.

Because this is like, and to put an example, a cocaine addict. What does he or she want? Cocaine and more cocaine. Then you know what to give her or him. In the other hand are the questions of what does he or she really need or what is good for him or her. 

We will deny the power of the propaganda of the system? In all the fronts: social, political, economical, entertainment. We will deny that the effective propaganda is generations old, and the influence is so big that many people don't realize it. We will deny that many people believe they are free in a free world and society, while we know is not the case.

This are only very few of the reasons why, in the present-day society the slogans of "give to the people what they want" or similar is a big fallacy in the 99% of the cases.
In the 1930's in Germany the people did want what the want. Was that good, reasonable or even logic? Not to say that a businessman want to exploit you, then give him or her what he wants, or not?
