Fascist Exploitation (1981)

The words set in [ ] as sub-headings are not in the original text.

Secondly,  some of the paragraph-breaks are mine.

Both were introduced to make this 1981 text resonate with current times …

The final and most dangerous form of economic exploitation is fascist exploitation.

In order to canvass national support to justify their exploitation, the imperialists popularize the theory of nationalism. They portray their exploitation as rational and constitutional and based on the national interest.

[From Nationalism to Imperialism:]

The British imperialists, in order to legitimize their exploitation, embraced nationalist theory. Following the example of the British, Mussolini of Italy and Hitler of Germany moved along the same path.

When communist imperialism was established after the Second World War, the Soviet leader Joseph Stalin propagated the concept of the Slavic supremacy. Likewise, the Chinese leader Mao Zedong built up Chinese superiority.

[Psycho-economic Exploitation:]

As soon as an imperialist power is transformed into a fascist power, it spreads out its tentacles to psychically and culturally oppress the  vanquished people.

To perpetuate unhindered economic exploitation, psychic exploitation starts almost simultaneously. Where psychic exploitation is used to further economic exploitation, it is called “psycho-economic exploitation”.

[Vulnerable Samajas Targeted:]

At the very outset, the fascist exploiters select a weak community which inhabits a region rich in natural resources. The fascists socially and culturally uproot the victimized community by imposing a foreign language and culture on them.

Because the local people cannot easily express their individual and collective feelings and sentiments in a foreign language, they develop a defeatist psychology and inferiority complex with respect to the exploiters. This defeatist psychology destroys the natural spiritedness and will to fight, of the local people, and the fascists skillfully utilize this golden opportunity.

[Obliteration of Weak Samajas:]

The primary interest of the fascist exploiters is to gradually suck the vitality of the local community so that they can pillage and plunder their natural resources, but if necessary they will even obliterate the local community from the face of the earth.

THE  PSYCHIC POTENTIALITY

…Now everywhere, in cent per cent of the cases, there is wastage of human psychic potentiality.

The psychic potentialities of human beings are immense, but people do not utilize them because most of their valuable time is wasted in undesirable thoughts, in psychic extravaganza.

[[Suppose human life is an average of 70 years. One third of it is spent in sleep, and the remaining is wasted in petty or useless activities.]]* How much time do people really get to devote to worthwhile tasks?

This psychic extravaganza should be checked either by physical approach, or psychic approach, or by spirituo-psychic approach.

People should have some control over their breathing, over their respiratory system, because the waves of respiration control the waves of thinking. Whenever you are doing something crude, your respiration becomes very active; and when you are thinking of something subtle, it becomes slow, extremely slow.

And finally, when this respiration coincides, or becomes one, with oneʼs thought-waves, that stage is known as hat́ha yoga samádhi. That is, the physical exertions, the physical emanations, become one with the psychic emanations. So some degree of control over respiration is essential.

I have already said that the scope of rationality and rationalization should be increased more and more, and for this, unnecessary waves should be removed from the plane of physicality. From the psychic sphere also, unnecessary waves are to be removed. This will remove many burdens from the mind. “I must not bother about petty things, because that will waste my time” – people should remember this.

This removal or rather withdrawal of unnecessary and undesirable thoughts emanated from the mind will help you in rationalizing the major portion of your mental faculty, so this must also be practised. The cult of spirituality is a cult of pinnacled order.

Now, oneʼs mental flow is concerned with both ideation and meditation. So far as ideation is concerned, it is connected with the healthy condition and proper functioning of the glands and sub-glands.

And we should also remember that ideation will not have any base to stand upon without a clear-cut idea. So idea must also be there.
