Privileges are Evil

Privileges are Evil

Privileges are definitely the biggest mistake of mankind of all the time. I would define privileges as a condition that gives individuals power over others. Our culture, which we inherited, teaches us that power over people is a value so that privileges become values as well. The word privilege immediately reminds us of people who have power or the very successful people, but privileges are far more widespread. Almost every person is somehow privileged, and that is not good. This article mainly presents the sources of privileges, the reasons why they are not good, and how they can be removed.

 

Talents a man himself possesses should not be considered as privileges, but skills in the alienated society easily earn privileges. Ability should not be considered a privilege, but if ability gives people power over others, then it becomes a privilege. Work should not be considered a privilege, but if the job gives people control over others, then it becomes a privilege. Achieved material wealth should not be considered a privilege, but if it gives people power over others, it becomes a privilege. Beauty should not be considered a privilege, but if beauty gives power over others, it becomes one. Hope you get the point.

 

Most people, by their subjectivity, consider privileges as overcoming their own powerlessness in nature. Privileges can easily create to the man the illusion of power in nature and then it gives him great happiness that looks like the real overcome of his powerlessness in nature. Such a man tends to start admiring himself greatly and creates a narcissistic feature of his own character. This feature of character glorifies the subjective vision of conscience, which develops the alienation of man from objective reality. A narcissistic man is so burdened with himself that he is not able to notice anything valuable besides him exists. He loses respect for people, and that prevents him from reaching natural benefits in relationships with other people. He loses respect towards nature as well. Legend says that Narcissus felt so in love with himself that he did not manage to learn to swim, so he drowned in the lake where after a fall while he was watching his reflection.

 

A man objectively does not need privileges, but subjectively they easily bring an illusion of power in nature, fool people and become a significant value. However, privileges bring happiness to the narcissistic man coming from the subjective vision of power, and therefore he invests a great effort in maintaining the survival of his own privileged status. But normally, it does not matter how much a narcissistic man tries, nothing can overcome his weakness in nature. Obviously, it is not possible to keep beauty and youth, and everyone who tries to do so is their own worst enemy because they are condemned to lifelong suffering. Other alienated needs are more challenging to identify, but the final result is the same. Privileged people in real life must encounter conflicts with objective reality. Then they necessary suffer. Pain destroys the souls of narcissistic people, and they very often find escapes from the painful suffering in the perversion of their own sensibility.

 

Narcissistic people, by their subjective consciousness, may identify the loss of privileges with the loss of their existence, so that any threats to their privileges causes them to panic and fear, and they desperately seek salvation. Hurting someone’s narcissism provokes hatred that cannot forgive. Nothing attacks people as much as someone’s injured narcissism, nothing destroys marriages as much as someone’s injured narcissism, nothing kills people as much as someone’s hurt narcissism, and nothing provokes wars as much as someone’s wounded narcissism. Injured narcissism is the leading cause of destructiveness in society. All evil in the history of humanity comes from narcissistic forms of the character.

 

Privileges corrupt people. People that privileges cannot spoil are so rare that they can be considered nonexistent. I am not sure that privileges would not be able to corrupt me at least a little bit. Privileges should be prevented as a requirement of establishing a constructive orientation of people. Preventing privileges means overcoming narcissism and destructiveness in society.

 

Powerless people tend to reach privileges. The higher the feeling of the weakness of a man in society and nature, the higher is his need for creating privileges. With this in regard, the more we overcome the weakness of people the more the problem will be solved. The powerlessness of people will be overcome by using the system I have proposed.

 

Privileges may be developing from childhood

 

An exaggerated concern for children may be a more severe problem than the neglecting of children. I will try to explain it with the example of the upbringing of Adolf Hitler. The mother of Adolf Hitler admired his son unconditionally. She did everything she could to please him. She did all his chores instead of him. Psychologist Erich Fromm believes that this is not loving because of the lack of responsibility for the future of the child, and I agree with him. Adolf Hitler grew convinced that he was perfect without the investment of any effort. In this way, he developed his extreme narcissistic view of the world. The world for him existed only as far as he could subjugate it to his needs. His mother was just a maid for him who fulfilled all his wishes and pulled him out of unpleasant situations. This made him irresponsible towards life and incapable of loving.

 

Of course later on in real life, as a result of ignorant upbringing, Adolf Hitler experienced many painful moments. The pain brings most people back to reality but not extremely narcissistic Adolf Hitler. While he was suffering in unpleasant reality, he got into his shell and performed endless internal monologue to himself with which he justified his inadaptability to society. The speaker skills he developed in this way helped him expose himself to the German people during a sensitive political moment. The rest is history. Adolf Hitler’s story is not about criminal genetics but about the very irresponsible upbringing of the child. I am convinced that if his mother did not spoil him during the earliest years of his life and if his father spanked him occasionally, Adolf Hitler would probably became a prominent retailer or something like this, and 35 million people would not be killed in the Second World War. With this respect, even violent parents are not as bad in the upbringing of their children as the ignorant parents who spoil them. They are the greatest enemies to their children while at the same time they do significant damage to society.

 

Millions of children around the world are brought up similarly as Adolf Hitler, where parents really damage their children with good intentions. Spoiled children are very irresponsible and do not develop their natural abilities. They have big problems throughout life and suffer because of it. A child’s high degree of narcissism can be identified by excessive confidence or by exaggerated fear, and also by strong aggressiveness or extreme isolation. A child’s aggression can only be removed by severe penalties while in the case of excessive seclusion a lot of knowledge and attention are needed. If parents show weakness towards children’s aggression or indifference towards children’s depression, they can easily create very inadaptable children who will be unhappy in their lives and during one moment of crisis they may become murderers. The Virginia Tech massacre is such an example where a student killed 32 people and wounded many others before committing suicide.

 

If parents do not fulfill their parental duties in the upbringing of children, then it is most likely too late for the productive development of children. Then only psychiatrists or oppressive state apparatus can somewhat help. Now you are probably wondering where is the boundary in upbringing that divides responsible and irresponsible children towards their future. This border is defined by the knowledge that is the fruit of the equal people relationship. This is a state where children will not feel superiority or inferiority. I’ve established a system that will achieve such a society in my book Humanism.

 

Economic privileges

 

The owners of the means of production realize the most widespread form of privilege today. In a society where there is high unemployment of workers, employers are especially privileged. Unemployed workers are forced to accept low-paying jobs to feed their families. The privileged owners of the means of production exploit it by abusing workers giving those poor wages while accomplishing higher profits for themselves. Then, employers develop narcissistic traits that make them insensitive to the needs of workers. In this manner, the exploitation of workers occurs; the foundation of today’s problems in society.

 

The solution to these problems is straightforward. All that needs to be done is reduce privileges of employers. Their privileges will be reduced by abolishing the unemployment of workers. This can be done by reducing work hours proportionally to the unemployment rate. Once unemployment is removed, employers will have to compete with each other to hire workers by increasing the incomes of workers. Workers will achieve a higher purchasing power and will buy more, which will help the capitalist economy produce more and profit more. The problem is that the increase of workers’ rights reduces the privileges of employers and the latter vehemently oppose it. This problem must be resolved because only the equalization of the rights of people can build a good future of humanity.

 

In the final stage of the development of the new humanistic system, I have proposed the complete abolition of employer privileges by introducing a system of work competition in public companies. I have proposed a work competition among workers in public companies. Each work post will be taken by a worker who offers the highest productivity at any time. No one position in public companies will be privileged any longer.

 

In the new system, each work position will be equally desired. This will be achieved when each work position with defined productivity get a worker who asks for the lower price of labour. Labour price will be one of the factors that determine the height of income, but it can be said that better jobs will achieve relatively lower salaries and worse jobs will be compensated with relatively higher incomes. Thus, the labour market will balance working interest in all jobs.

 

The new economy will form an advantageous system of accountability for the realization of productivity workers offers so that they would not dare offer productivity they cannot accomplish. Responsibilities of managers and workers will be so significant that they would have to mutually agree on the production and establish a high degree of consensus before making decisions. This kind of market economy will result in co-operation at all levels of production processes and thus, will contribute to the development of a productive society.

 

No economy can be better than the one where every job gets the best worker available. Such an economy will easily become significantly more productive than the capitalist one so that capitalism will be forced to withdraw. When capitalism ends humanism will begin. It will abolish privileges by creating equal rights relations in society and will build an unthinkably better future for humanity.

 

My experience with privileged people

 

The owners of the means of production might be privileged to the consumers as well. The owners of the ski resort, Mt. St. Louis and Moonstone in Ontario are privileged. Their privilege arises from the fact that Ontario is a flat province so that the little hill they possess at a distance of 100 kilometres from Toronto is always full of skiers. This privilege made the owners of the ski resort arrogant.

 

Last year, I went with my family there to ski. We bought tickets for the ski lift. I placed my ticket in a special transparent pocket designed just for that purpose. When I entered the lineup of the ski lift, the owners told me to put the ski pass on a string or to leave. I answered that I would go if they returned my money for the ski pass. They did not reply to my request; instead, they used force and push me down into the snow. One of the workers jumped on me while the owner struck me with his boot in the ribs. My wife and daughters watched all of this, screaming at them to leave me alone, so they did. I immediately called the police expecting that the police would protect the citizens, but this was not the case. Namely, the police in Canada protect private capital more than people. The policemen told me that I must leave the ski resort.

 

The privilege of ownership of the ski resort gave them great power, and that alienates those people from their own nature. And so they have built a high degree of narcissism, and as such, they have lost the ability to correctly perceive the natural laws and reach a normal healthy life. They cannot find happiness in their lives. If these arrogant people somehow get unlimited power, they might become some variant of Adolf Hitler. Many arrogant people around the world would repeat what Hitler did if they got the chance. It would be entirely wrong to conclude that such opportunities cannot occur again.

 

Now, I am living in a big building that has an outdoor and indoor swimming pool. There is a service of maintenance and a board of directors composed mostly of retired people who make decisions of common interest. For a director position in the Board of Directors mostly apply residents who need power over people, and they like using this power. Life experience taught me that people who love power are the worst people because they love to use their power at the expense of others. The Board of Directors has hired a woman who works as a lifeguard at the pools and maintains order. She forbade me from protecting my five-year-old daughter with sunscreen at the outdoor pool because someone from the Board of Directors wrongly informed her that sunscreen damages the pool installation. This was misinformation because sunscreen may be harmful to the Jacuzzi but not for the pool. However, this rule was in force for years and harmed the users of the swimming pool.  The other tenants have told me in confidence that they protect themselves from the sun at home before they get to the pool. I succeed to revoke this stupid decision by writing a letter to the management board. 

 

I played amateur soccer and basketball for more than forty years. I mostly did it because running is healthy. I was never particularly handy with a ball, but it was always more comfortable for me to run after the ball than running around a stadium. I scored a lot of goals and enjoyed it a lot. One should cheer as much as they can because it is healthy. On the other hand, there are players to whom winning is the issue of “life or death.” They do not show joy in the game, they play very aggressively and cannot stand defeat. These are mainly talented people for sports whose talents build their privileged statuses in games and consequently the narcissistic feature of their character. They bring conflicts into sports. Finally, I’ve escaped from such conflicts by not playing collective sports anymore. The relationship between my orientation and theirs is the relationship between health and illness. People are not aware of that because if they were, they would select good and not evil for themselves. One day my philosophy will solve such problems.

 

In the system that I have proposed, every man will get an equal right to evaluate any other man. Each positive assessment should automatically bring a small prize to the assessed person. On the other hand, any negative evaluation will result in a punishment of the same form. Let us say that awards and penalties of such assessment would have an equivalent value of one dollar. Arrogant people, such as the mentioned owners of the ski resort, members of the Board of Director, and talented soccer players make a lot of mistakes to many people, and because of that, they would receive a large number of negative evaluations for an extended period. After that, they would no longer dare to create any disadvantages in society. Such measures will definitely reduce the uncontrolled or insufficiently controlled power of individuals coming out from privileged statuses in society. Only then will the destructive orientation of society be overcome.  

 

Privileges made Clinton, Bush and Blair criminals

 

What can one expect from truly privileged people? U.S. President Bill Clinton opposed the request from wealthy people to commit criminal aggression on Yugoslavia until the Monika Lewinski case was imposed on him. I wrote more about it in the article My Debt to Yugoslavia. Enormous pressure was put on President Clinton to comment on the nature of his relationship with Monika Lewinski. As a result, he gave a false statement before the Commission of the U.S. Congress, negating the nature of his relationship was sexual. Now I’m asking from when the U.S. Congress is interested in the sexual life of American presidents and why? But the Monika Lewinski case was so “important” for the survival of the United States, that Bill Clinton should eventually be impeached from the presidential position. This is the story for naive people. This story only served as blackmail for President Bill Clinton to force him to commit the aggression on Yugoslavia which was the interests of the most influential people of the world. Apparently, the career was much more important to President Clinton than the lives of innocent people. After the aggression against Yugoslavia, the impeachment was forgotten entirely. Here is the chronology of the Monika Lewinski case. Official information on how the case was closed was never released.

 

Keeping his position was not Bill Clinton’s only benefit through the aggression against Yugoslavia. When his term for presidency expired, he established a philanthropic foundation, “William J. Clinton,” to finance his library in Little Rock, Arkansas and charitable efforts in dozens of countries to reduce poverty and treat AIDS. When his wife, Hillary Clinton, wished to take the position of the U.S. Secretary of State, Bill Clinton was demanded to release the list of donors to his foundation to avoid possible conflict of interest. It was presented that the Bill Clinton Foundation collected a rather large amount of 492 millions dollars. I claim that many donors of his fund supported Clinton’s aggression against Yugoslavia and their donations were the reward for the criminal action. This is corruption and crime of the worst kind. President Bill Clinton has to take responsibility before the court for what he did.

The aggression on Iraq was a crime according to the resolution of UN. The aggression began with U.S. President George W. Bush and UK Prime Minister Tony Blair on charges that Iraqi President Saddam Hussein produces weapons of mass destruction (WMD) based on nuclear-biological-chemical reactions. Such weapons in the hands of the terrorist organization Al-Qaeda could supposedly be used against the United States. The investigation has shown that the allegations were lies. Anyone who tries to make a small effort to see events around the world objectively would clearly see that the aggression on Iraq was conducted for control of Iraqi oil. British MP George Galloway furiously attacked the criminal US and British intervention in Iraq.


U.S. President George W. Bush and UK Prime Minister Tony Blair, through the aggression on Iraq, have killed hundreds of thousands of Iraqi people and more than 4000 of their own troops, along with 30,000 wounded. In addition to this, George W. Bush spent one trillion U.S. dollars on the war, which must be returned by the American people. Every citizen of the United States now owes $4,000 more to the American Federal Reserve Bank for the aggression against Iraq. If someone tries to steal $4,000 in America, he will finish in prison, but when the President of the USA robs every citizen in America for this amount of money, nothing happens.


It should be said that this is the type of crime for which most courts around the world would judge the most severe penalties. Well, then why have the presidents of USA and UK Prime Minister not been called to bear their responsibility for the war crimes before the court? It is evident that leaders of the developed world are privileged people who are above the law. It must not stay like this. As long as there are people above the law, justice will not exist. Without it, people who live on planet Earth cannot hope for peace, prosperity, or a beautiful future. President Bush and Prime Minister Blair, together with their associates, must be prosecuted for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people, for the enormous material damage that their criminal aggressions have caused, for the costs the war brought to their people, and for the pirate robbery of Iraqi oil.


Once the system of evaluation that I have proposed is adopted, the state presidents will no longer be privileged. The system will prevent the heads of states from calling wars. Also, people would individually allocate no money from their taxes for armies and armies would cease to exist. In the new system, waging wars will be utterly impossible.


Rothschilds are the most privileged people

 

One should not think that American presidents commit crimes to earn all the profit. American presidents come and go and cannot organize the exploitation of conquered countries for the short period time of their mandate in such form that they could earn significant profits from their aggression. Some people have power over the American presidents, and they stay at their positions permanently. These are the owners of corporations. Leaders of these corporations have a name, and they must be held accountable for what they did. I am convinced that the principal owners of these corporations are the Rothschild family, and behind them are the families Rockefeller, Morgan, Wartburg, etc. Forgive me if I skipped any more precious names.


I wrote more about these families in my article Has Antichrist Come? I do not think that American presidents work under direct orders from these wealthy families. Around the presidents are located the exclusive rings of associates who attended the schooling of the mentioned wealthy families. Hardly anyone can get close to the presidents without excellently passing the exams. These associates impose the will of the wealthy families to the presidents. That is the reason the change of the US President or the UK Prime Minister almost does not change the policies of these countries.


The Rothschilds, Rockefellers, Morgans, Wartburgs and others cannot escape the responsibility for what they have been doing. A lot of people call them out on Google and YouTube for the crimes they have committed. I believe that in the foreseeable future, most of the people around the world will understand that these families are the evil that governs the western world and are the prime source of problems in today’s society. They will realize that releasing the world from the control of these wealthy families means freeing the world from exploitation, poverty, war, alienation, and all other disadvantages of today’s society. Then these families will be in real danger. But I do not want the path to a better future of humankind to be dirtied with anyone’s blood.


I want the future to be built on the equal rights and universal agreement of all the people. I think that the best solution for these wealthy families is to accept the system that I have proposed. By accepting the system I have suggested, they would protect themselves from lynch. The new system would undoubtedly punish these wealthy families for their crimes. But what would the penalties be? Death sentences practically don’t exist today, so they do not need to fear about that. In the system that I proposed, there will be no prison sentences, so they should not need to worry about that either. They will lose their privileged status. That would not be pleasant to their alienated conscience, but I would not recommend them to unleash their anger upon me. I think that the world would not forgive them if they attacked my philosophy or me. Besides that, they should be grateful to me because, without my philosophy, nothing could guarantee the survival of their families.


When the system I have proposed is accepted, I am convinced that these families would still remain the wealthiest families in the world. One cannot deny that by organizing capitalism, these families have created the most significant economic progress and huge betterment of the society. By accepting the system that I have suggested, they will lose the power of secretly ruling the world, but it was not particularly successful anyway. See what their results are! Besides, I think that even if they were far more skilled than they are, they would not be able to reign throughout the world because it is not possible. The people would rebel even if they were in golden cages. People need freedom in the first place. When the world is finally free of their chains, they would no longer have to hide their powers.


People all over the world will recognize them as the most distinguished families. Is this not an excellent recognition? In the new system, they would even be able to take open control over the entire world, because the system that I have proposed would need someone to lead the world. This time, the leaders will actually become directly responsible to the people worldwide. If they make mistakes, they might get billions of bad evaluations from people, which would cost them billions dollars every month. Even they would not be able to afford it and therefore would work hard to create a sound policy of the world. In this case, the Rothschild family and their partners would begin to contribute building a far better future for humanity. In this case, all people win, and nobody will lose. Is this not a good offer? If they think about it, they will find the system I proposed is the best option for them as well.


Life is better without privileges.

 

I never wished to be privileged. Never in my life was my goal to have power over others. I needed money for the fulfillment of natural needs only. Maybe sometimes a little more, but earning money was never a primary goal in my life. That has given me a lot of time to concentrate on my real needs, and that is why I have achieved success in my own life. That success can be measured in the first place by the fact that I have no problem with myself. I do not drink alcohol, I do not take any medication, I have neither neurosis nor depression, and I do not lack anything. On top of it all, I have a lovely family. Someone can say that this is not a big success in life, but I would respond to them that not many people manage to achieve such a state. It is especially hard for privileged people to make such a result. Also, by finding my inner freedom, I was able to achieve significant progress in my philosophy. Success is great not because my philosophy was challenging to create, but because no one else has worked seriously in this field. People are so burdened with alienated values that I did not have real competition in the area of my work.


But, as a young man, under the influence of society, I was ambitious to promote myself. I reached some success in the field of architecture but found out that it was not a successful period in my life. Notably, that period reminds me of my great dependence on smoking. At that time, I never even tried to stop smoking because I knew that there was no chance to overcome my addiction. Then, I focused on my philosophy, which brought me inner peace even though I continued to have a habit to smoke. When my first daughter was born, I felt I should stop smoking in the name of our health. I was preparing myself for a terrible battle against cigarettes. And then came an incredible surprise; I quit smoking without any problem. I think my work helped me build inner peace that liberated me from my dependence on cigarettes. If I was successful in the quitting, why wouldn’t other people be able to achieve similar results? A healthy life, which my philosophy addresses, will help people all over the world get rid of their problems, and of the addictions that prevent them from having a good life.


Someone might think that my indifference to achieve privileges, to earn money, to build power in society, to promote at work and buy houses, result from my megalomaniac need to change the world. This would not be true. I’ve just discovered that the freedom in the field of my own interests that is also good for people brings more satisfaction than any privileges can. But in one moment of my life, I noticed that all the values I need were located behind non-crossable walls that prevented me from reaching them. I found my goal when I decided to tear down the walls, to change the world and make it an excellent place to live. Or to be more explicit, I am by nature a little lazy, and if I were able to find interests and satisfaction in everyday life, I would never focus on my philosophy. I was not even a talented writer. Changing the world was not an easy goal, but I had no choice.


But wait a moment, weren’t all the great founders and leaders, including imperators, claiming that they wanted to build a good world? Yes, but there are vast differences between them and me. I would point out that the most significant difference comes from the fact that the great founders and leaders, including imperators, had privileged power over people, while my system will not give me any higher authority than any other person has. Also, my system will bring good life and happiness to all people worldwide, which no great founders or leader, including imperator, has ever managed to achieve.


By my nature, I hardly start something, but once I move, I do not give up. Then nothing can stop me on my way. At this point, I have been developing new ideas for 27 years that will one day change the world entirely and make it a beautiful place to live; but still, I have not reached success in society. In the last nine years, 250,000 people have visited this web site, and they took 2,500 copies of my book Humanism. Yet, none of them have found it valuable to join me in my effort to improve the world.


What’s the problem? People usually recognize my good intentions, but generally, they have little confidence in themselves to review them. No one is engaged in researching the development of society, and that is the reason people think that new ideas are unrealizable. They are convinced that otherwise, some institution would work on them. People expect that the authorities lead them on the right path, but authorities do not want changes that reduce their power. Each turn of the accepted knowledge is a threat to the privileges of authorities, and practically the foundation of society needs to be changed in order a good to create a sane society. The road to progress is closed. Despite that, I know that I have defined how the bright future of humanity will look like, I know I am right, and that is the reason I cannot find more significant meaning to my life than working on my philosophy. It brings me the work satisfaction from which I will not give up.


Privileges must be removed

 

Privileged statuses bring pleasure to most people, but I would say that this status is alienated from the natural needs of people so that it necessarily results in real disadvantages that people, due to of their ignorance, do not associate with privileges. In most cases, such people cannot find their inner peace. They are under constant stress and seek relief through alcohol and drugs. Furthermore, the state of internal tension prevents people from recognizing objective reality. The state of inner tension makes it difficult for people to sense the correct path and make proper decisions in their lives. It makes it difficult for people to re-examine the premises that led them into their current situations and makes it difficult for them to be enlightened. Privileges certainly alienate people from the possibilities of finding satisfaction in the natural relationship among people. In reality, privileges are powerlessness itself.


All problems in society are caused by an inadequate system of values. Expecting that privileges of any form of having power over others can bring happiness is just as likely as getting happiness from cocaine. They are both hallucinations based on illusions. Privileges are evil. When society revokes privileges only then it will get a chance to achieve a better life. It is not easy to do, but there is no other path. Changes in society that do not abandon privileges are cosmetic changes only, and cannot bring prosperity to mankind.


The escape from this evil lies in the formation of the objective system of values which will be based on the natural needs of society. The system that I proposed will build such values. It will establish man as the highest value in society. The new system will form a scale with which the value of man could be defined and measured so that people can easily notice and accept it. Once the objective values are accepted by society, forms of alienated powers arising from privileges will lose their importance because objectively, they are not values. The new system will direct people to the right path. It will give people the being power they need so they will not ask for privileges anymore. And if people would still be interested in a search for privileges, they will not be able to find any because the new system would remove them.


The system I have proposed at this web site is not only the best solution to the problems of today’s world, but it’s also the only good one. That’s the reason my system will be accepted by the whole world. This system prevents hunger, fear, corruption, narcissism, racism, immorality, crime, war, and all types of destruction in society and encourages the development of productive human powers. In short, the system promises a better life for everyone and harmony to the people. It will turn the main principles that humankind has been established on so far upside down. The impact on the people will be so enormous that future generations will call everything before the implementation barbarianism, and everything from the implementation on will be known as civilization.


My humanism will save the planet Earth from all social evil and will create love, joy, peace, health, beauty, freedom, security, justice, equality, harmony, abundance; and will make a paradise on earth.
