.For all the greatest233 Mein Kampfinventions, the greatest discoveries, the most profoundly revolutionary scientific work, and the mostmagnificent monuments of human culture, were never given to the world under the impulse or compulsion ofmoney.Quite the contrary: not rarely was their origin associated with a renunciation of the worldly pleasuresthat wealth can purchase.It may be that money has become the one power that governs life to-day.Yet a time will come when menwill again bow to higher gods.Much that we have to-day owes its existence to the desire for money andproperty; but there is very little among all this which would leave the world poorer by its lack.It is also one of the aims before our movement to hold out the prospect of a time when the individual will begiven what he needs for the purposes of his life and it will be a time in which, on the other hand, the principlewill be upheld that man does not live for material enjoyment alone.This principle will find expression in awiser scale of wages and salaries which will enable everyone, including the humblest workman who fulfilshis duties conscientiously, to live an honourable and decent life both as a man and as a citizen.Let it not besaid that this is merely a visionary ideal, that this world would never tolerate it in practice and that of itself itis impossible to attain.Even we are not so simple as to believe that there will ever be an age in which there will be no drawbacks.But that does not release us from the obligation to fight for the removal of the defects which we haverecognized, to overcome the shortcomings and to strive towards the ideal.In any case the hard reality of thefacts to be faced will always place only too many limits to our aspirations.But that is precisely why manmust strive again and again to serve the ultimate aim and no failures must induce him to renounce hisintentions, just as we cannot spurn the sway of justice because mistakes creep into the administration of thelaw, and just as we cannot despise medical science because, in spite of it, there will always be diseases.Man should take care not to have too low an estimate of the power of an ideal.If there are some who mayfeel disheartened over the present conditions, and if they happen to have served as soldiers, I would remindthem of the time when their heroism was the most convincing example of the power inherent in idealmotives.It was not preoccupation about their daily bread that led men to sacrifice their lives, but the love oftheir country, the faith which they had in its greatness, and an all round feeling for the honour of the nation.Only after the German people had become estranged from these ideals, to follow the material promisesoffered by the Revolution, only after they threw away their arms to take up the rucksack, only then insteadof entering an earthly paradise did they sink into the purgatory of universal contempt and at the same timeuniversal want.That is why we must face the calculators of the materialist Republic with faith in an idealist Reich.234 Mein KampfCHAPTER IIICITIZENS AND SUBJECTS OF THE STATEThe institution that is now erroneously called the State generally classifies people only into two groups:citizens and aliens.Citizens are all those who possess full civic rights, either by reason of their birth or by anact of naturalization.Aliens are those who enjoy the same rights in some other State.Between these twocategories there are certain beings who resemble a sort of meteoric phenomena.They are people who have nocitizenship in any State and consequently no civic rights anywhere.In most cases nowadays a person acquires civic rights by being born within the frontiers of a State.The raceor nationality to which he may belong plays no role whatsoever.The child of a Negro who once lived in oneof the German protectorates and now takes up his residence in Germany automatically becomes a GermanCitizen in the eyes of the world.In the same way the child of any Jew, Pole, African or Asian mayautomatically become a German Citizen.Besides naturalization that is acquired through the fact of having been born within the confines of a Statethere exists another kind of naturalization which can be acquired later.This process is subject to variouspreliminary requirements.For example one condition is that, if possible, the applicant must not be a burglaror a common street thug.It is required of him that his political attitude is not such as to give cause foruneasiness; in other words he must be a harmless simpleton in politics.It is required that he shall not be aburden to the State of which he wishes to become a citizen.In this realistic epoch of ours this last conditionnaturally only means that he must not be a financial burden.If the affairs of the candidate are such that itappears likely he will turn out to be a good taxpayer, that is a very important consideration and will help himto obtain civic rights all the more rapidly.The question of race plays no part at all.The whole process of acquiring civic rights is not very different from that of being admitted to membershipof an automobile club, for instance.A person files his application.It is examined.It is sanctioned.And oneday the man receives a card which informs him that he has become a citizen.The information is given in anamusing way.An applicant who has hitherto been a Zulu or Kaffir is told: "By these presents you are nowbecome a German Citizen."The President of the State can perform this piece of magic.What God Himself could not do is achieved bysome Theophrastus Paracelsus 16) of a civil servant through a mere twirl of the hand.Nothing but a stroke ofthe pen, and a Mongolian slave is forthwith turned into a real German.Not only is no question askedregarding the race to which the new citizen belongs; even the matter of his physical health is not inquiredinto.His flesh may be corrupted with syphilis; but he will still be welcome in the State as it exists to-day solong as he may not become a financial burden or a political danger.In this way, year after year, those organisms which we call States take up poisonous matter which they canhardly ever overcome.Another point of distinction between a citizen and an alien is that the former is admitted to all public offices,that he may possibly have to do military service and that in return he is permitted to take a passive or activepart at public elections.Those are his chief privileges.For in regard to personal rights and personal liberty thealien enjoys the same amount of protection as the citizen, and frequently even more.Anyhow that is how ithappens in our present German Republic.235 Mein KampfI realize fully that nobody likes to hear these things.But it would be difficult to find anything more illogicalor more insane than our contemporary laws in regard to State citizenship.At present there exists one State which manifests at least some modest attempts that show a betterappreciation of how things ought to be done in this matter.It is not, however, in our model German Republicbut in the U.S.A.that efforts are made to conform at least partly to the counsels of commonsense [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
