Wilhelm Reich“Further, any way of life based on the importation of resources is also functionally based on violence, because if your way of life requires the importation of resources, trade will never be sufficiently reliable: if people in the next watershed over won't trade you for some necessary resource, you will take it, because you need it. So, to bring this to the present, we could all become enlightened, and the US military would still have to be huge: how else will they get access to the oil they need to run the economy, oil that just happens to lie under someone else's land? The point is that no matter what we think of the irredeemability of this culture's mass psychology or system of rewards, this culture–civilization–is also irredeemable on a purely functional level.”
Aric McBay, Deep Green Resistance: Strategy to Save the Planet“One cannot equate "capitalism" and "democracy.”
Wilhelm Reich, The Mass Psychology of Fascism“It was one of the greatest errors in evaluating dictatorship to say that the dictator forces himself on society against its own will.

sham democracy is insidious.“Open confession of dictatorship is far less dangerous than sham democracy. One can defend oneself against the former”
