very bosom of different social movements. Identification was

so difficult because the indispensable naturalistic knowledge

needed for proper classification of phenomena in this area did

not develop until our contemporary times. Thus, historians and

sociologists discern many similarities, but they possess no

identifying criteria because the latter belongs to another scien-

tific discipline.

Who plays the first crucial role in this process of the origin

of pathocracy, schizoids or characteropaths? It appears to be

the former; therefore, let us delineate their role first.

During stable times which are ostensibly happy, albeit de-

pendent upon injustice to other individuals and nations, doctri-

naire90 people believe they have found a simple solution to fix

the world. Such a historical period is always characterized by

an impoverished psychological world view, so that a schizoi-

dally impoverished psychological world view does not stand

out as odd during such times and is accepted as legal tender.

These doctrinaire individuals characteristically manifest a cer-

tain contempt with regard to moralists then preaching the need

to rediscover lost human values and to develop a richer, more

appropriate psychological world view.

Schizoid characters aim to impose their own conceptual

world upon other people or social groups, using relatively con-

trolled pathological egotism and the exceptional tenacity de-

rived from their persistent nature. They are thus eventually able

to overpower another individual’s personality, which causes

the latter’s behavior to turn desperately illogical. They may

also exert a similar influence upon the group of people they

have joined. They are psychological loners who then begin to

feel better in some human organization, wherein they become

zealots for some ideology, religious bigots, materialists, or

adherents of an ideology with satanic features. If their activities

consist of direct contact on a small social scale, their acquain-

tances generally just consider them to be eccentric, which lim-

its their ponerogenic role. However, if they manage to hide

their own personality behind the written word, their influence

PATHOCRACY

may poison the minds of society on a wide scale and for a long

time.

The conviction that Karl Marx is the best example of this is

correct as he was the best-known figure of that kind. Frostig91,

a psychiatrist of the old school, included Engels and others into

a category he called “bearded schizoidal fanatics”. The famous

writings attributed to “Zionist Wise Men” at the turn of the

century begin with a typically schizoidal declaration.92 The

nineteenth century, especially its latter half, appears to have

been a time of exceptional activity on the part of schizoidal

individuals, often but not always of Jewish descent. After all

we have to remember that 97 % of all Jews do not manifest this

anomaly, and that it also appears among all European nations ,

albeit to a markedly lesser extent. Our inheritance from this

period includes world-images, scientific traditions, and legal

concepts flavored with the shoddy ingredients of a schizoidal

apprehension of reality.

Humanists are prepared to understand that era and its legacy

within categories characterized by their own traditions. They

search for societal, ideational, and moral causes for known

phenomena. Such an explanation, however, can never consti-

tute the whole truth, since it ignores the biological factors

which participated in the genesis of the phenomena. Schizoidia

is the most frequent factor, albeit not the only one.

In spite of the fact that the writings of schizoidal authors

contain the above described deficiency, or even an openly for-

mulated schizoidal declaration which constitutes sufficient

in Lwow, (now Ukraine). I used his manual Psychiatria . Poland was then

under pathocratic rule and his works were removed from public libraries as

“ideologically improper”.

92 The “Protocols of the Elders of Zion” is now well known to have been a

hoaxed attribution to Jews. However, the contents of the Protocols are clearly

not “hoaxed ideas” since a reasonable assessment of the events in the United

States over the past 50 years or so gives ample evidence of the application of

these Protocols in order to bring about the current Neocon administration.

Anyone who wishes to understand what has happened in the U.S. only needs

to read the Protocols to understand that some group of deviant individuals

took them to heart. The document, “Project For A New American Century”,

produced by the Neoconservatives reads as if it had been inspired by the

Protocols. [Editor’s note.]

warning to specialists, the average reader accepts them not as a

view of reality warped by this anomaly, but rather as an idea to

which he should consider seriously based on his convictions

and his reason. That is the first mistake.

The oversimplified pattern of ideas, devoid of psychological

color and based on easily available data, tends to exert an in-

tense attracting influence on individuals who are insufficiently

critical, frequently frustrated as result of downward social ad-

justment, culturally neglected, or characterized by some psy-

chological deficiencies of their own. Such writings are particu-

larly attractive to a hystericized society. Others who may read

such writings will be immediately provoked to criticism based

on their healthy common sense, though they also they fail to

grasp the essential cause of the error: that it emerges from a

biologically deviant mind.

Societal interpretation of such writings and doctrinaire dec-

larations breaks down into main trifurcations, engendering

divisiveness and conflict. The first branch is the path of aver-

sion, based on rejection of the contents of the work due to per-

sonal motivations, differing convictions, or moral revulsion.

These reactions contain the component of a moralistic interpre-

tation of pathological phenomena.

The second and third branches relate to two distinctly dif-

ferent apperception types among those persons who accept the

contents of such works: the critically-corrective and the patho-

logical .

The critically-corrective approach is taken by people whose

feel for psychological reality is normal and they tend to incor-

porate the more valuable elements of the work. They then

trivialize the obvious errors and fill in the missing elements of

the schizoid deficiencies by means of their own richer world

view. This gives rise to a more sensible, measured, and thus

creative interpretation, but is cannot be completely free from

the influence of the error frequently adduced above.

Pathological acceptance is manifested by individuals with
