American workers cannot go back to the privileged position we held for so long. Workers who dream that their children grasp the non-productive way of life should realize one small world now exists, and the ruling class no longer can hand us the privileges we have had over most productive people in the world. No place exists now to run to improve our reducing standards of living as was the case with the slaves in Egypt or the productive people of Mayan cultures who escaped into the jungle. Nor do lands exist that can be conquered and occupied as did Europeans when they arrived here. So our only choice is to change the social world. The only way to do that is to organize our own kind. We must also avoid following some professional organizers to show us the way for that is where the problem started thousands of years ago. The solution is to organize ourselves without even one person as a professional organizer. This must be a principal from beginning to end that we are productive workers and stay productive workers for the rest of our able lives, putting our productive labor in the lead of our lives. With the democratic practice to guide it, this principal in the lead assures the absence of the inevitable corruption that takes place in the democracy of the nonproducing class, which has existed for all these thousands of years.
Even current attempts to give producer’s more responsibility at work by the elite, without having real power, leads to getting more out of us without the compensation. At its height, in the 1950’s and early 1960’s the USA producing class consisted of about 80-90 percent of the employed. The remnants of the USA producing class which is now only about half of the employed are still among the most advanced producers in the world, yet this is rapidly going downhill. Nothing can stop that slide short of workers organizing as a class for itself. If American workers will not initiate it, others in the world will, to become the most advanced workers in the world. Class opportunism among the most educated youth stands as a huge obstacle in our way. Leadership must come from the youth, but it must be those changing that direction by fighting the class opportunism in others and in self. Because of the teaching of society, those changing the social order will be rare individuals. They will not only be good productive workers, but will become great social teachers, saying truths that will cost them dearly because they will not sell. Because all established institutions are led by non-producers, organized labor will resist them. Its leaders are not about to surrender their ruling class positions. Eventually the workers who organize will find the support of their fellows and take control of their unions. Initially, we will be isolated from the right and also equally from the left because it too is led by nonproductive professionals; some of whom see themselves as leaders or would be leaders of us. The organization that will lead productive people into power will be led only by producing class workers who put their productive labor in the lead of their lives. This is what all able people will be when our ends are met. Already such workers know the social world better than those who are seen as the social experts. Producers who will set out for the power of our class will come to know the world far better because it is their need to know it more the way it was, is and will be. For the so called social and political experts, ignorance of it is their bliss because their need is to keep it as it is or go back to what it used to be. John Tuvo and I have already begun this teaching. We need you to become one with our purpose. With three of us number four will be much easier to find which will then rapidly increase our numbers. If you hunger for a better world, and have not set out to initiate it, don’t blame the people because it is you who might know better. Until rare mutations exist, nothing in the world changes. Finding a nonviolent nonproducing class position, you have no need to change the world. It is that taught ideal of the goodness of that way of life that leads many to violence because many dream of the non productive way of life, but it exists for only so many. In America since about 1970, that nonproductive professional way of life has increased rapidly but now we are all paying the price. The percentage of youth that have those expectations is greater than ever before but no way exists for those opportunities to remain in such large quantities. Although economic conditions fluctuate, those times where so much opportunity for nonproductive professional ways of life will never come back. This has a good side to it. American workers can finally see a need exists to change this social order because there is no way right or left nonproductive professionals can resolve the problem which is a big difference between now and conditions during the great depression of the 1930s. Millions will fail to become legal nonproductive professionals and instead seek the illegal way. Increasing numbers are going to resent those who do succeed as legal nonproductive professionals and take it out upon them. Already this is happening increasingly. Note that policing and soldiering are nonproductive professional ways of life. Life insurance, now low for nonproductive professionals, is going to go up rapidly. Adding more professional police and soldiers puts a greater burden upon the producing class, thus the greater incentive for class opportunists to live the criminal life. The greater the adulation given police and soldiers, by the majority, the greater the hatred toward them by a substantial minority. The greater is this adulation, the less the comparative regard and compensation for productive labor and the greater the incentive to become professional people of violence. Our society now cannot afford so many nonproductive professionals whether violent or nonviolent. This condition is comparable to the fall of other once all powerful nations who, though having technically advanced quickly lost their power because too many people became nonproductive professionals. These conditions are a reality at home and throughout the world. A fascist state to preserve USA power over the world would fail. So as ugly as the world is becoming conditions are ripening that the producing class will eventually come together. No, it will not be a doomsday for the people as advocated by many nonproductive professionals, but just the doom of their professional ways of life. The psychocrats advocate doom for the people as a means to keep the people from resolving the problem of class and all its ugly consequences. Classlessness means every able bodied person will earn a living through his productive labor. It does not mean everyone is rewarded equally no matter the value of one’s labor. It does not mean the lack of leadership but only as a professional way of life. Every able bodied person will earn a living through his productive labor. No one will get rich because his labor is worth more than others, but wage differentiation will exist as determined by the democracy of workers. Some say money is the principle incentive for inventing great things for the people. In reality, most people inventing such things never get rich and often do not get recognition from the people. Usually those most rewarded and recognized are those who super exploit the labor of those making the real contributions. Those like Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple Computer or even inventor-businessman Thomas Edison both initially used their talents to invent things, but both had many underneath them who did most of the inventing. These deceptions are inevitable as long as nonproductive professionals make the decisions, and interpret events. In elite class society those who make, enforce and interpret laws are nonproductive professionals. The laws are made, enforced and interpreted to preserve their class dictatorship, which is their class democracy. We only choose which of our exploiters is to be in the lead. The producing class is usually evenly divided. This can only change when an organization of the productive people, for the power of the productive people exists. Participating in being part of the vanguard does not necessitate having extra-ordinary intelligence. Our exploiters are among the most intelligent but for them social ignorance is their bliss. Don’t expect them to know social truths even as well as you already do and you have not yet set out to change that world which is such an important condition that you will come to know it even better. When knowing such things, then you can teach it to the people. Teaching is another condition that you will come to know it even better. Victims of social relationships always have the greater understanding of social phenomena while for the perpetrators social ignorance is their bliss. That has to do with why we have a black president. But as bright as he is, you as a producing class worker probably have a better understanding of the class relationship than he. You, like most workers, have the experience to know these things, but the problem is a conditional need to deny them for the knowledge gives us the obligation to do something about them. So in turn the condition for not acting upon that knowledge obliges you to deny it. In that way ignorance of the class relationship also becomes bliss for those of the victim class. You can only realize the possibility of the power of the productive people when putting the creation of it into the practice of your life. Pessimists always look backward serving the resistance of social progress even when being productive and responsible workers. Presently the more highly skilled of the producing class are more reactionary than the average productive worker. This condition is why we with lower IQs will be more apt to start our thing. Eventually when producers start organizing some of the most advanced workers will be with us. Putting practice in the lead must be a principle for our thing; because without putting things in the practice of one’s life theory is meaningless. Communist leaders put their party first, which consisted of professional organizers. This practice necessitated placing non-producers in the lead, which is irreconcilable with producers in the lead. Power comes only from within the nature of a thing; it can’t be given. Not being a producer, you cannot be a part of that power. The correct slogan is power from the people, not power to the people. Privilege can be given but power comes from within a thing so the communist leaders were correct advocating worker’s power must first become a workers’ democratic dictatorship. Defining nonproductive professions as other work is where the non-productive go wrong. The professional word people write the dictionaries so the confusion will be built into the language. We play a guitar or a game. We don’t play house building or welding gas lines. In some industries increased worker involvement in work-related decision making has served efficiency. Despite this quantitative change, no workers are receiving the benefits. Instead most workers produce more while receiving fewer rewards. Many of these groups which advocate “empowerment of workers” increase profit for the elite while the bureaucracy remains undiminished. Japanese worker involvement in production decision making initiated a few decades ago resulted in increased production, profits for the elite, and an expanded bureaucracy because like here producers remain powerless. The producers give more for less while more non-producers live from our labor as profit and as nonproductive professionals. Small successes of these work-groups, allowing producers a little more say in work-related issues gives some producers a false sense of power. These groups create no sustained progress for productive professionals. Some productive professionals who say we are being empowered by such groups and actions are fooling themselves. Our increased influence without real power creates less reward for work done while benefitting the bureaucrats and profiteers. Because power can only come from within a thing, empowerment necessitates forming our own institutions without the non-productive in the lead. Already some of the principles of producer’s power exist in current institutions. On a small scale, some family run businesses maintain the productive aspect playing a leadership role. On a larger scale, the process giving worker’s more say and more responsibility in decision making without increasing reward appear to be necessary preconditions that we decide to create our own institutions. We can only improve our conditions when we organize ourselves outside the existing institutions. This condition necessitates changing the greater social order for sustained progress. Through the practice of creating our own literature, we will thus gain a deeper knowledge than those who just read or advocate the literature of the other class because the victims who set out to change the world will know it best. All it would take is a few to get started. The first institution could be a day care center, a construction collective, or it could be a school where the students teach each other under the supervision of producing class adults. When the late President John F Kennedy announced we would land a man on the moon, no one had the blueprints, yet our leaders knew it could be done. The same scientific principles exist for our thing. It has not yet existed, but already principles are developing. As in the democracy of the nonproductive, who vote for their own representatives, we too will vote for our own. The difference in our institution is those we vote for will remain producers. Most say simultaneous working and leading is impossible. Already we are doing both. This paper shows we can work and interpret events better than a New York Times columnist. Technology advances, our work week lengthens, our workload grows. This is illogical because class society is illogical. We should be working fewer hours, not more. To create conditions for us to have more time to play, we cannot look to the elite, but must look to ourselves. We learn from the past and present to create something new for it is only through our own class power that we can change the world. The reforming of existing institutions only comes about as a result of revolutionary practice. If you get a paper from us on the street, other papers on hand are free. Copies of other papers can be mailed. Send a contribution to cover postage. We have many other articles and letters addressed to others, often in greater detail. We desire to have our paper translated into other languages. Most of all we want you to investigate and offer criticism for the eventual end of coming together. Should you consider coming together for the common purpose; don’t expect your loved ones or friends to follow, but instead for awhile you will experience rejection. On the other hand, you will experience peace of mind unknown by those promoting metaphysical ideals.

I am nothing but a psychocrat and this is why I killed myself.
