Record of a Friendship

clear thoughts and spoil a clear-cut road to answers to the problem.
The red fascist movement rests fully on the evil doings of the freedom
peddler. It hurts badly to see that you are unaware of the true nature
of the red fascist regime, telling that all governments use spies. Of
course they do. But the Canadian or English or American government
still lets me work successfully on the problem of the Children of the
Future, and Stalin does not. This, and this alone, is where my interest
in existing governments comes in. I judge them by the amount of
freedom we have to DO THINGS FOR CHILDREN. I regret that you
do not see clear in this respect.
And to DO THINGS means to keep human thought and practice in
the pioneering plants of science, medicine and education clear of crack­
pots and bandwagon riders. It is not enough to lecture to armored
people who get easily enthused but do not move a finger practically. It is
necessary to penetrate the wall of human indolence. Then the Stalins
will fall of themselves.
Raknes came over here several times and studied in the laboratory.
He knows what he is talking about and he is willing to learn more. He
is in touch with the greatest force at the disposal of mankind in this
mess. Philipson is NOT. He wants to sit on the spot I was on 25 years
ago, in order not to have to learn and do ORGONE ENERGY
PHYSICS AND BIOPHYSICS. And this I cannot let pass.
We refuse to let quacks of my science grow up and spoil the work. I
confess to being adamant in this respect. Call it dictatorship if you will.
But there are matters in human affairs, such as knowledge, which cannot
be decided by votes, nor be done by pats on the back and "love of the
Neighbor." Once you realize fully that the Little Man, characterologi­
cally speaking, has ruined every single bit of knowledge that could have
helped him over the ages, you are in the right perspective of things. It is
of course much easier and less dangerous to have "sympathetic under­
standing" than to do basic scientific work which has to stand up against
a mountain of false beliefs, human evasion of truth, gossip, murder in
the lands of heirs of Karl Marx, and against the tendency in one's own
friends to support the distractor from painful work and duties. I do not
mind when Philipson does Ch.A. of 1928, but I do not permit him
to use my publication organ to "CRITICISE " me for having proceeded
toward demonstrating at the microscope what is at work practically in
the character and in the human emotion. This will not change, cannot
change, and if it will cost me dear friendships, I shall not be able to
