... certainly admire my people most. Question 5: IN YOUR OPINION, WHICH IS THE IDEAL POLITICAL REGIME AND WHICH IS THE WORST? Fascism is the worst, and meritocracy is the best. The criterion is anarchism. Whichever regime is closer to anarchism is better - the closest to anarchism is the best - whichever is farther away from anarchism is worse. Fascism is the farthest, dictatorship the farthest; they are the...

Gandhi used to teach that all religions are one - Hinduism and Mohammedanism particularly, because the political problem in India was that Mohammedans were asking for a separate country. And he wanted India to remain one simply so that it remains under the Hindus, because if the country is...

And both are, by their very nature, very violent. It was just a different situation in which Gandhi had to use nonviolence as a political strategy. And there are immense proofs. Before India became free, an American...

Their concern is cunning; their concern is political. Their concern is to increase their numbers. If there are poor people, they can be changed, converted to the Catholic religion. My concern is to destroy poverty...

... Pakistan had not been divided from India then Bengali would have been spoken by more people than Hindi, because half of Bengal went into Pakistan. Otherwise Bengali is spoken by more people than Hindi. So it is just a political accident that the country got divided and half of Bengal became Bangladesh and half of Bengal remained in India. But if you look at world languages, Bengali will come before Hindi...

... you go on teaching it. Just stop teaching history and it won't repeat any more. You teach it, you poison the minds of children, and they start having political ambitions themselves. You make them ambitious. In every possible way you make them ambitious. Your whole education system is not to make children intelligent but to make them ambitious. Yes, you try to make them intellectuals - that too is a...

That's why history is repeated - because of the mechanical behavior of the politicians. It is the same wheel that goes on moving: the same ambition, the same desire, the same strategy, the same tricks, the same...

The game is not so precious, the game is just worthless. Humanity cannot be sacrificed to the political game. Human individuals should start declaring that the earth is one, the whole of humanity is one; that we don't want any nations, we don't want this...

And that which is not in your hands cannot be called true freedom. True freedom is always spiritual.

Only that which has grown within you cannot be taken away from...

Political empires have disappeared from the world not because of your freedom struggles, but because imperialists have found an easier way of keeping you enslaved, while giving you a superficial idea that you are a flowering, independent, free country.

If I am speaking with Jews, then I should not speak anything against Moses; why annoy people. And this I call a political strategy. I should speak what I feel like speaking, not dependent on who is listening and what will be...

... the Old Testament ends with the next act of vengeance, on the Persian liberators! Western political leaders of our century, who often were flattered to be compared by Zionist visitors to good King Cyrus of Persia, the liberator of the Judahites, may not have read "The Law" with attention or have noted what then befell the Persians. Logically the Persians in their turn had to suffer for...

The point now reached, in following the course of the destructive idea through the centuries, calls for some further description of these people (mentioned in the chapter on The Movable Government).

In 1951 a New York publisher who contemplated issuing one of the present writer's books was strongly advised not to do this by the head of a Jewish political bureau, and was told, "Mr. Reed invented the Khazars". However, the Judaist authorities agree about their existence and conversion, and the historical atlases...

These produced the natural result: a huge majority for the Smallholders Party; the Communists, despite the presence of the Red Army, made a...

... are already that - that's why I say the myth of change is one of the most dangerous myths. It has two dimensions to it. One is political, the other is religious. The political dimension is that the society can be improved, that revolution can help, that there is a utopia that can be realised. Because of this, politicians have been able to torture, to murder, to exploit, to oppress. And people have...

The future is just in the mind, in the imagination. It is a dream; it is not part of reality. The political myth has been taken up by the sadists - those who want to torture others. and the religious myth has been taken up by the...

Until their power goes, they are worshipped like God...

And what is the way to be in the middle? The way to be in the middle is to be in the world but not to be of it. To be in the middle means to live in the world but not to allow the world to live in you. To be exactly in the middle and to...
