The History and Definition of Psychopolitical
Although punishment for its own sake may not be entirely
without recompense, it is nevertheless true that the end and
goal of all punishment is the indoctrination of the person
being punished with an idea, whether that idea be one of
restraint or
obedience.
Quote:
In that any ruler has, from time beyond memory, needed the obedience
of his subjects in order to accomplish his ends, he has thus
resorted to punishment.

This is true of every tribe and state in the
history of Man.
Today, Russian culture has evolved more certain and
definite methods of aligning and securing the loyalties of persons
and populaces, and of
enforcing obedience upon them.
This modern
outgrowth of an old practice is called
Psychopolitics.
The stupidity and narrowness of nations
not blessed with Russian
reasoning has caused them to rely upon practices which are, today,
too ancient and outmoded for the rapid and heroic pace of our time.
(SL: some blessing...)
And in view of the tremendous advance of Russian culture in the
field of mental technologies, begun with the glorious work of Pavlov
and carried forward so ably by later Russians, it would be strange
that an art and science would not evolve totally devoted to the
aligning
of loyalties and extracting the obedience of individuals and multitudes.
Thus we see that psychopolitical procedures are a natural outgrowth
of practices as old as Man, practices that are current in every
group of men throughout the world.
Quote:
Thus, in psychopolitical procedures
there is no ethical problem since it is obvious and evident
that man is always coerced against his will to
the greater good of the
State, whether by economic gains or indoctrination into the wishes
and desires of the State.

(SL: This is the key)
Basically, man is an animal.
(Any government that is not looking at people as humans but views them as animals, would create:
Quote:
1) Police State.
2) War.
3) Enslavement.

)
He is an animal that has been given a
civilized veneer.
Man is a collective animal grouped together for his
own protection before the threat of the environment.
Those who so
group and control him must then have in their possession specialized
techniques to direct the vagaries and energies of the animal man
toward greater efficiency in the accomplishment of the goals of the
State.
Psychopolitics, in one form or another, has long been used in
Russia, but the subject is all but unknown outside the borders of our
nation, save only where it is used for the greater good of the nation.
