"To wit: effective communication is only possible be-
|
|
tween equals; one brain is hardly sufficient to govern one
|
|
life, much less thousands or millions of lives; all rewards
|
|
and punishments teach is how to reward and punish...."

THE SPARK
|
|
Above is an explication of the SNAFU Principle and its
|
|
Corolaries. No statist understands these truths, which ex-
|
|
plain why "bureaucracy" is synonymouswith red tape, why to
|
|
call someone a "bureacrat" is to call them incompetent and
|
|
why there never has been, is not now and never will be any
|
|
such thing as an efficient bureaucracy.
|
|
Whenever a government tries to streamline its bureau-
|
|
cracies -- by selecting only bureaucrats who are ideological-
|
|
ly loyal and punishing gross incompetence (such as signing
|
|
important papers without first reading them) -- it sooner or
|
|
later begins to realize that matters are not improving and
|
|
may, because of the stress of the reform drive, even be get-
|
|
ting worse.
|
|
When that happens, they decide that someone is sabotaging
|
|
them. When it happened to the Russian Stalinists, they de-
|
|
cided the Trotskyists were to blame -- hence there were pur-
|
|
ges. When it happend to the German nationalists, they de-
|
|
cided the Jews were to blame -- hence there was Hitler. When
|
|
it happend to the American patriots, they decided the Com-
|
|
munists were to blame -- hence there was and is McCarthyism.
|
|
When it happened to the October League/Revolutionary Commun-
|
|
ist Party, they decided gay people were to blame -- hence
|
|
Bob Avakian promises that after the revolution "education
|
|
will be conducted throughout society on the ideology behind
|
|
homosexuality and its material roots in exploiting society,
|
|
and struggle will be waged to eliminate it and reform homo-
|
|
sexuals."
|
|
Expect to hear about The Protocols of the Elders of Fire
|
|
Island any day.
|
|
"What happened then, it seems, is
|
|
that the witch craze produced a
|
|
hysteria that created precisely
|
|
what it was trying to destroy."
