• The less the head, the more the wound will heal. No head there is no wound. Live a headless life. Move as a total being, and accept things.

Opportunity : I am in favor of creating equal opportunities for everybody to be himself. In other words, in my vision, each individual is unique.

Opportunity

 

 

A commune is a declaration of a non-ambitious life with equal opportunity for all. But remember my differences with Karl Marx. I am not in favor of imposing equality on people, because that is a psychologically impossible task, and whenever you do something against nature, it becomes destructive and poisonous.

 

No two men are equal. But I can be misunderstood very easily, so try to understand my standpoint very clearly: I am not in favor of equality, but I am not in favor of inequality either! I am in favor of creating equal opportunities for everybody to be himself. In other words, in my vision, each individual is unique. The question of equality or inequality does not arise, because two individuals are not the same. They cannot be compared.

 

A real commune, a real communism, will create

 

equal opportunities for growth, but accept the uniqueness of each individual.

 

There should be no private property. Everything should belong to the commune. There should be absolute freedom of expression in words or in creativity.

 

Each individual should be respected as he is, not according to any ideal. His basic needs should be fulfilled by the commune, and as the commune becomes richer, every individual should be provided with more comfort, with more luxury -- because I am not against luxury or comfort. I am not a sadist, and I don't want people to be tortured in any beautiful name. In the name of religion, or in the name of socialism, nobody should be sacrificed. No kind of self torture should be supported.
