The existent requirement is one of a production-consumption
balance. Essentially, this means that one must produce at least
equal to one’s survival needs, and that one consume only
what one has produced. To say this another way, the existent
requirement is that one produce at least equal to what one
consumes. (Page 1)
The above scenario essentially is
the way it is. We may simply
boil down the existent requirement to the words, produce or
perish. But there is another scenario that has been enacted
by mankind through history. In this case, one again does not
meet his consumptive needs through production, yet still manages
to survive. He does this through the method of thievery. One
takes or steals the production from those who have brought
it forth and gives nothing in return. The success of this endeavor
depends on someone else producing and the thief’s own
ability to steal. (Page 2)
The act of thievery is the taking from another that which
belongs to another. Notice that intrinsic within the conception
of thievery is the conception of a legitimate ownership, an
ownership set in the idea of earning. Essentially, it is given
that the person who earns or works for his living owns that
which he brings forth. (Page 3)
The belief-before-deed criterion of value may be summed up
by the more familiar term of dogma, also known as ideology,
doctrine, or belief. Dogma is simply a position of belief held
and equated by one to be the sole criterion of value and identity.
One is simply saying that his belief, and his belief alone,
is the only correct belief concerning the nature of existence,
and because he holds it!, he is worthy. It is solely a vested-interest
belief fabricated so that one may deem himself worthy just
because he exists regardless of any value brought forth. It
is what he and others rally around proclaiming it as the truth
and centering their group interest upon it. So what is the
motive of this endeavor? The motive is thievery. (Page 6)
It is interesting to note that all of our ideologies have
a future promise. It is like a carrot on a string hanging just
beyond our noses. That is the way they work. We have been hearing
about the second coming for a few thousand years. It is just
around the corner, we are told. It will always be just around
the corner. Now we are inundated with the people’s revolution,
which supposedly is historically inevitable—tomorrow.
The future promise must always stay in the future so the thief
can keep his con working. If it were ever made present, the
thief would be exposed as the con artist he is. (Page 10)
It is at this point that the true nature of the crusade is
revealed. It is a crusade of fascism. One is simply saying
to another: support me as I decree or I will force you to,
give to me what I want or I will make you. There is no consideration
of an exchange of value between the two based upon their mutual
consent. The essence of any dogma is the threat or initiation
of force from one to another. Force is always the instrument
held in reserve in case the thief cannot hoax another into
supporting him for nothing in return. (Page 14)
We can now understand why dogma, be it clothed in promises
of love, peace, or harmony, always fails to deliver. Simply
said, a man can only give what he himself has. For thousands
of years men have been promising to other men what they do
not have and trading that promise, through force if necessary,
for what the other does have. (Page 19)
