The state of the world is illness. Everyone is ill. What is to be done?
Turn illness into a weapon that is the first glance at a future to be done free
of (Endlösungs-) names, governors, health factories and so on.
The Socialist Patients’ Collective (SPK) calls it Utopathie.
Turn illness into a weapon is and remains program, stable in its effects for
over 50 years.
The SPK and its further development in the Patients’ Front (PF) short-circuits
illness and revolution. It has been shown:
Health is nothing but an ideologistic-nazistic figment of the mind. The function
of this figment is to veil in the head of every single person that illness is
conditioned by society, and also to veil the social function of illness. Illness
rather doesn't mean suffering and inactivity, but quite on the contrary as the
result of capitalist relations of production, illness in its developed form as
PROTEST of life against capitalism IS the revolutionary productive power par
excellence for all human beings. The patients are thus in illness the
revolutionary class in themselves, but as consciously suffering patients they
are also for themselves the revolutionary class.
So, instead of fear of illness: revolution by virtue of being ill. In the fire
of self-stigmatisation for illness, the front patients melt their scars into a
process of infection, ignition and inflammation that, as warmth, goes through
and through. They take “their” illness into their own hands, therapy is replaced
by agitation, right into everyday life. They turn illness back to the outside as
a protest, turn it into a weapon of collective liberation. A reality, truth and
effectiveness free of doctors.
The all-dominating medical doctors’ class wants to suppress this worldwide
process of infection, that is the common doctor-free appropriation of illness
that unites everyone, by all means. Like any therapy, also this one is doomed to
fail, because illness is stronger. No iatrocracy can ever undo the shaking of
the iatrocapitalist foundations of the world brought about by the front
patients. The beginning of a patients’ class has been made. And SPK/PF has also
existed in South America for almost 20 years. PRO illness always the principle:
the only effective weapon against fascist terror and nazistic promises of heal
and health.
All the more important that “SPK – Turn Illness into a Weapon”, action manual
and guideline of this class struggle and in use since 1972, is now finally also
available in a Brazilian-Portuguese translation. It develops the contradictions
entangled in illness, summarising principles and methods of SPK/PF
pathopractice. It shows how anyone can do SPK/PF themselves and explains the
propagation principle of multi-focal expansionism. Supplemented by a time table
from the beginnings until today as well as texts from the impact context of the
book.
Illnesses of the world, unite!
