Responsibility

This is the Human Law

Whatever responsibility you do not assume must be fulfilled and will be as­sumed by another. Whatever responsibil­ity men and women in general do not assume will be assumed by an interest apart from their general interest.

If people do not resort to the true form of life, or the culture of intimate coopera­tion, which transcends the dominating power of the “News”, then those agencies which have the con­trolling responsibilities will become mere manipulators and exploiters.

Whatever people or institutions are in power will always seek to survive as themselves, un­less they are made accountable to the people, or the true culture of Man. There­fore, when the people are irresponsible, the politics of mankind is reduced to international money politics, wars, and more “News.”

We must assume personal, intimate, and cooperative or local responsibility for our individual and collective lives. We must realize the unreality, essential un­importance, and even deliberate or demonic force that is the “News”—or the trend of events when mankind abandons higher Wisdom and cooperative human intimacy – or all the forms of cultural responsibility.

We must begin a politics of mutual responsibility and creativity at the level of intimate cultural community, and we must demand that the State become and always remain responsible to us. If we abandon our passive or self-possessed individualism- and become active in cooperation with one another, we will become essentially self-sufficient, free, humorous, and unexploitable. This is the only true political movement in the world.
