All forms of organised mysticism, including religion and fascism rely upon the unsatisfied orgastic longing of the masses. Their self-loathing leads them to demand a father figure who will provide them with order, oppress them and take away the stress of having to make their own decisions.
( Wilhelm Reich, Mass psychology of fascism, 1934 )
Ignorance and obscurantism have never produced anything other than flocks of slaves for tyranny.
( Emiliano Zapata )
They were wandering in the city, without escape, ready to be killed somewhere, anywhere, in a train or a cafe, cornered, alone in defiance of a horrible world.
( Ian Bone )
I have no faith in human perfectability. I think that human exertion will have no appreciable effect upon humanity. Man is now only more active - not more happy - nor more wise, than he was 6000 years ago.
( Edgar Allan Poe )
I vrapcima na grani je jasno da svaki masivni sistem, bez obzira dali je rec o kapitalizmu, komunizmu ili fasizmu moze da funkcionise samo na osnovu rada ogromne armije vecitih gubitnika, lisenih svake druge alternative. Ono sto su u komunizmu ili fasizmu morale da resavaju vojske politickih komesara, tajnih policija i koljaca u kapitalizmu se resava prostom ekonomskom ucenom - sve kosta.
( Aleksa Golijanin )
A hierarchical mentality, stemming from mechanisms such as wage slavery, fosters the renunciation of the pleasures of life. It justifies toil, guilt, and sacrifice by the 'inferiors,' and pleasure and the indulgent gratification of virtually every caprice by their 'superiors.' The objective history of the social structure becomes internalised as a subjective history of the psychic structure. Hierarchy, class, and ultimately the State, penetrate the very integument of the human psyche and establish within it unreflective internal powers of coercion and constraint. By using guilt and self-blame, the inner State can control behaviour long before fear of the coercive powers of the State have to be invoked.
