In order to incite seekers after power to a misuse of power we have set all forces in
opposition one to another, breaking up their liberal tendencies towards independence.
To
this end we have stirred up every form of enterprise; we have armed all parties; we have set
up authority as a target for every ambition.
Of States we have made gladiatorial arenas
where a host of confused issues contend… A little more, and disorders and bankruptcy will
be universal…
Babblers inexhaustible have turned into orational contests the sittings of Parliament and
Administrative Boards. Bold journalists and unscrupulous pamphleteers daily fall upon
executive officials. Abuses of power will put the final touch in preparing all institutions for
their overthrow and everything will fly skyward under the blows of the maddened mob.
All people are chained down to heavy toil by poverty more firmly than ever they were
chained by slavery and serfdom; from these, one way and another, they might free
themselves, these could be settled with, but from want they will never get away.
We have
included in the constitution such rights as the masses appear fictitious and not actual rights.
All these so-called “People’s Rights” can exist only in idea, an idea which can never be
realized in practical life. What is it to the proletariat laborer, bowed double over his heavy
toil, crushed by his lot in life, if talkers get the right to babble, if journalists get the right to
scribble any nonsense side by side with good stuff; once the proletariat has no other profit
out of the constitution save only those pitiful crumbs which we fling them from our table in
return for the voting in favor of what we dictate, in favor of the men we place in power, the
servants of our agentur… Republican rights for a poor man are no more than a bitter piece
of irony, for the necessity he is under of toiling almost all day gives him no present use of
them, but on the other hand robs him of all guarantee of regular and certain earnings by
making him dependent on strikes by his comrades or lock-outs by his masters.
The people under our guidance have annihilated the aristocracy, who were their one and
only defense and foster-mother for the sake of their own advantage which is inseparably
bound up with the well-being of the people. Nowadays, with the destruction of the
aristocracy, the people have fallen into the grips of merciless money-grinding scoundrels
who have laid a pitiless and cruel yoke upon the necks of the workers.
We appear on the scene as alleged saviors of the worker from this oppression when we
propose to him to enter the ranks of our fighting forces – Socialists, Anarchists, Communists
–
to whom we always give support in accordance with an alleged brotherly rule (of the
solidarity of all humanity) of our social masonry.
The aristocracy, which enjoyed by law the
labor of the workers was interested in seeing that the workers were well fed, healthy and
strong.
We are interested in just the opposite – in the diminution, the killing out of the
GOYIM.
Our power is in the chronic shortness of food and physical weakness of the worker
because by all that this implies he is made the slave of our will, and he will not find in his
own authorities either strength or energy to set against our will. Hunger creates the right of
capital to rule the worker more surely than it was given to the aristocracy by the legal
authority of kings.
By want and the envy and hatred which it engenders, we shall move the mobs and with their
hands we shall wipe out all those who hinder us on our way.
When the hour strikes for our Sovereign Lord of all the World to be crowned it is these same
hands which will sweep away everything that might be a hindrance thereto.
The goyim have lost the habit of thinking unless prompted by the suggestions of our
specialists.
Therefore they do not see the urgent necessity of what we, when our kingdom
comes, shall adopt at once, namely this, that it is essential to teach in national schools one
simple, true piece of knowledge, the basis of all knowledge – the knowledge of the structure
of human life, of social existence, which requires division of labor, and, consequently, the
division of men into classes and conditions. It is essential for all to know that owing to
difference in the objects of human activity there cannot be any equality, that he who by any
