State Goals for the Individual and the Masses
(EN: This book is somewhat controversial - not merely because of its topic, but because of its origin. It is presented as a synthesis of various Soviet documents on the practice of brainwashing, but may in fact be a fabrication to provoke outrage and opposition to the communist party and due to its suspicious origin is considered that it may be a hoax or a work of science fiction. I've read it, and preserved notes, as it seems interesting and plausible, in spite of its dubious validity and origin.)
All goals are the product of duress - our foremost concern is escaping a painful or unpleasant situation, or avoiding displeasure in future. This is also true of a group, organization, or state: it seeks to escape duress or position itself to avoid duress in future.
In some instances, the interests of some citizens are in conflict with the interests of others. The state must then side with one or the other party. Because the state is an aggregation of people, it seeks to serve the interests of the greatest number. This is the foundation of democracy.
However, application of psychopolitics can change the perspectives of citizens so that their priorities are aligned to the greater good of the state rather than their individual concerns. Where the good of society is the highest goal, personal obligations are not seen as oppressive - they are the duty of the individual to his state, which a property politicized individual will give higher priority than his personal ambitions.
There is a false notion of conflicts among states, which only persists because there are arbitrary geographical boundaries. Were those boundaries erased, and were all men to consider themselves members of the world society, there is no notion of warring nations - nor any nations at all.
