Your liberators tell you that that your suppressors are Wilhelm, Nikolaus, Pope Gregory the Twenty Eighth, Morgan, Krupp or Ford. And your liberators are called Mussolini, Napoleon, Hitler and Stalin. I tell you: Only you yourself can be your liberator!
Wilhelm Reich
Image
A living creature develops a destructive impulse when it wants to destroy a source of danger... The original motive is not pleasure in destruction...
