SPK/PF(H)
What
has the strength out of illness got to do with professional revolutionaries
with and without “quotation marks” ?
The following letter was first written in French on
June 12, 1996 by KRANKHEIT IM RECHT (Illness in the Right / Illness in Justice),
to the French group Front des
Spartacistes (Spartacist Front), which has supported us for some time in
the distribution of our books in France.
Apart from the new French Spartacists, there are still
Spartacists from the 1920s in Europe. Like the present ones in France, they
understood and still understand themselves as anti-capitalist. Even more: the
old ones even do understand ours. A woman let us know on May, 20th,
1996: "Wolfgang [SPK/PF(H)] has not only further developed Marx and
Engels; thanks to him, the fight against capitalism has taken on a new bite,
the struggle has finally come to grips with capitalism”.
This woman was in a concentration camp. Despite her
advanced age, her activity in concentration camp committees has received a new
impulse since she got to know through us
the real causers of the Nazi regime,
namely the medical class, as the causers of her participation in the armed
struggle at that time and the catastrophe of the failed Spartacist uprising.
Different content, different concerns? This only seems
to be the case at first glance. In any case, the necessities are still the
same, if they have not even increased strongly meanwhile.
Now to the retranslation of our letter to the French
Spartacists of today.
SPK/PF(H)
KRANKHEIT IM
RECHT
June 16, 1996
Dear comrades, dear M.,
We have been informed that the Parallèles bookshop in
Paris has sold out all five copies of SPK
- Faire de la Maladie une Arme (SPK -Turn
Illness into a Weapon). So it would be very useful if you could bring them five
more copies, again with invoice, like last time. Thank you very much!
Enclosed you will find an information sheet that the
book distributor ZAMBON has made about the texts of SPK and PF in Italian -
just in case you know comrades in Italy whom you might want to inform.
In addition, we are sending you
the conclusions about
SPK/PF(H) contained in ASSEMBLEA and INVARIANTI since 1984. Only the present text in this form (résumé) comes
from Wolfgang Huber, and the mentioned book distributor ZAMBON had asked us for
it. One of you offered to translate this text into French. Please send us this
translation back by fax or letter.
This text can help you to grasp more precisely the
difference between SPK/PF(H) and groups that, for example, are looking every
now and then for literature (including ours!) that is supposed to make it
possible to "combine Marxism with psychoanalysis" and the like, which
are groups that do not want to get in touch with revolutionary illness, nor
with developing Marxism or what they call it, let alone with cracking the myth
of psychoanalysis, a myth that has absolutely nothing to do with revolutionary
matters, not even in its intention, since even a Wilhelm Reich forbade
attacking medicine, not to mention a Freud, C.G. Jung, Fromm, etc. Likewise,
the "anti-psychiatrists" who are always and in all cases nothing
other than psychiatrists. For example, Laing, who defended his status as a
psychiatrist throughout his life. Or, for example, a Szasz, also such a famous
"anti-psychiatrist", who is in no way in reality even against
psychiatry, let alone against medicine. What he is really "fighting"
for is for the (iatro-capitalist) fool’s license, and what he is really
fighting against is the revolutionary patients’ class.
An American has written that the SPK/PF(H) has also
written books, and more of them and more important ones than all these others,
but those of the SPK/PF(H) have first
done and are doing what matters, and are also writing for it, in contrary
to the others, where the doing is omitted without apology. That is the
difference. The others have published their books against society, and at the
same time remained seated in their cabinets (cabinet French for cabinet and
shithouse) and they cling on to their position (profession), eloquently and
sometimes even almost verbosely complaining about the sick and poor society
that simply makes people sick and poor. But only SPK/PF(H) has broken with this
society and freed itself from this iatro-capitalist society. They have gone
beyond and left this society behind and thrown it into the abyss. Even if they
were the only ones who achieved it, they did not let themselves be distracted
by the right or the left. (So much for the American, and we'll come back to
him).
For ourselves, our writings remain the tool with which
we preserve what we have achieved and with which we smash the ruling class. For
the readers, it would be a pity if they did not get to see more announced in
them than leftist readers. Those who only want readers have ample opportunity
to help themselves with the complete works of Jacques Lacan, for example (students
have complained time and again that Jacques Lacan's highly complicated books
are simply too incomprehensible. He himself was so vain that he declared every
list of signatures null and void if the collectors of signatures forgot to also
and especially call on him for his signature. In return, however, he
recommended - his "modesty" - that his books should simply be bought
and simply read as readers, because it was not important to him in the first
place and not at all important that someone should understand them). Our
modesty, on the other hand, is such that we do not even want to compete with
this famous psychoanalyst and philosopher in matters of modesty, or in any
other respect. Nevertheless: only good things about the dead (de mortuis nil,
nisi bene), especially in matters of modesty.
The American author also stated that the experience of
SPK/PF(H) has proven how one can exist for decades without dealing with
"problems" such as AIDS, allergies, flu, cancer, broken legs and the
like, because these are all forms of illness that can be effectively and
reality-changingly confronted outside of medicine and without medicine and
therapy. On this basis of its results, SPK/PF(H) can also provide a solid
foundation for all other resistance movements, because, as he says, no single
movement is even halfway complete, let alone can claim any credibility,
if this
foundation given by SPK/PF(H) and its theoretical reappraisal do not constitute
the main issue in it, whether this movement calls itself anti-racist,
anti-capitalist or feminist (anti-patriarchal).
As far as Marxism as a subject for further development
is concerned, we enclose a brand new result which comes from Vietnam and Cuba,
where in the meantime our theme has also been dealt with. We are of the opinion that even the professional
cadres of Marxism-Leninism can well do without all the psychoanalytical lies
(mythes), but that they are all the more in need of a new revolutionary theory,
not least in view of illness, which belongs to our modern times, and which
exists also and not least decisively for them too and (be it as imported
commodity) in their country.
If it were only a question of combining Marxism and
psychoanalysis, then all that would be needed would be an author, a researcher,
be he a communist, professor, anarchist, priest, woman or man. If such a person
had then done his work, he could convert to the opposite without further ado,
indeed he could even abandon his plan and undertaking (to combine Marxism with
psychoanalysis) for the sake of simplicity before he had even lifted a finger.
But in the event that he is a patient, a patient who turns his illness into a
political issue, then all passed down Marxism, all the psychoanalysis already
available, is of absolutely no use to him, not even if he has himself
sex-changed with the help of a surgeon, or even if he only changes his mind.
From the SPK, on the other hand, there have emerged
examples to the fact that one can’t but risk everything (bourgeois employment,
bourgeois existence, bourgeois freedom, peace, perspective on life, in short:
everything) from the very beginning and once and for all; but what one gains in
return is the collective liberation, once and for all and again, to get rid of
all the iatro-capitalist filth, a liberation that must be fought for again
every day and even into one's dreams for the rest of one's life. All the other
bourgeois things listed here can be got rid of, but never a politics based on
illness.
Even a narrow-minded rapporteur from
Heidelberg
University could not avoid giving an account of this, because he had to explain
to his young readers the why, namely why the authorities once trembled so much
precisely because of SPK/PF(H), and why they have not yet found a final
solution [Endloesung] for it to this
day. In this context, the journalist also had to point out that the authorities
already had all the means at their disposal in the 70s to hunt down anarchists,
fascists, Nazis and radical democrats. But the SPK with its illness was and
remained an all time unpleasant surprise, since it could not be met with
weapons, money, medicines or methods of treatment, not even with genetics;
because even this failed because of the complete concept of illness (SPK),
which genetics had so far been unable to counter with even the narrowest
concept of illness, and as long as no one knew how this could be possible,
genetics is deprived of any ethical basis. So much for a professor of ethics
from Munich the other day. As far as we are concerned, we are pissed off with
any medical, philosophical or other ethics. No one should ever be in a position
to become dependent on ethicists for help or support. Instead: get on with
doing SPK/PF(H), or start doing it, iatroclasm!
If this French text does not sound good to French
ears, we are nevertheless certain that its sense escapes no one, that no one
escapes its sense. Likewise, we are sure that there is such sense in every
language, apart from all genetic and genocidal nonsense (which has been at home
in every language not only since yesterday and is already at home and haunting
every home).
As already mentioned by phone, it is mainly
Spanish
comrades who want to take action against genetics at the moment. On this
subject and on the subject of SPK/PF(H) they therefore also wanted a tape
cassette from us. As they informed us, this cassette* is to go on the air this week via a radio in
Barcelona.

Through illness strength!

wherever it suits you.
Enclosure 1
11 Theses of Illness
Our summary of the conclusions that have been drawn with
regard to SPK/PF(H) since 1984, in part repeatedly, in the periodicals ASSEMBLEA
and INVARIANTI.
Compare also the book IL TEMPO IMPERFETTO, Claudio Mutini and Giorgio Patrizi,
Rome, 1996.
1)
SPK/PF(H) is the only further development of the
revolution in times and at present
(einzige Weiterentwicklung der Revolution in Zeit und Gegenwart).
2)
SPK/PF(H) constitutes the checkmate and, at the same time,
the
anticipated elimination of all genocide tendencies,
also for the Third Millennium.
3)
After Engels and Sartre SPK/PF(H)-Huber is the first who has succeeded in
coming to grips with alienation in a materialistic way, that is
conceiving it as illness.
4)
The most radical attack against the
logistic roots of nowadays computer-era
originates from Huber /
SPK/PF(H), namely: under the signifier illness, which
in its previous and present form is but a
curse, no patient is any longer "intouchable" for the computers (under the
medical doctors’ class), and all will be selected for the purpose of their
elimination, all the procreated ones, the artificially procreated ones any
way, and all the more the "naturally" procreated ones.
5)
The private militarism in the all-around civil war has to be solved and overcome
in the same way in which the SPK succeeded to cope with the un-aimed protest
of the patients against each other, the SPK is the paradigm for that.
6)
SPK/PF(H) has unmasked marriage, family and all mating-relations (Paarungsverhaeltnisse)
as a doctor-patient dyade. The only and proved starting point for the purpose
of change: SPK/PF(H) ./. crook and prosthesis idols of any branch.
7)
Their terroni are included and kept well in our
prince-ity (pre-hominids of nowadays
in relation to the human species of the future): SPK/PF(H) has contra-posed the so-called malformed
as the far better pre-hominids of this earth
to Yuppies and Fitness-fanatics.
8)
The intellect, arts and science have been substituted by SPK/PF(H) through
scars and the earth-bound intellurect.
Illness-certain sensory.
9)
Thermomimetics (thermo-mass and mass in
warmth contra the medical in class-gang-race).
10)
SPK/PF(H): All thinking follows
from the mechanics of exchange. Who carries coins in his pocket, is an
alien-determined puppet of all the appertaining value templates, in all the
thinking premises in his mind and body, feeling and volition.
11)
Health,
the holiest of the holy,
the very highest and up to now equally obvious as seemingly immovable
standard value and value standard, the carrier of hope and illusions for old
and young alike in all previous societies, has been caused to burst like
a soap-bubble for the first time and by nobody else but by the SOCIALIST
PATIENTS’ COLLECTIVE, the PATIENTS’ FRONT, SPK/PF(H).
Annotation: The authors of this Periodical for Culture and Politics, which comes out regularly in all parts of Italy, never needed to ask us questions on matters that require explanation. The only arrangement they had made with us since 1984: As soon as you’ve got something ready, send it to us. As soon as we’ve got something ready, we will send it to you

Redazione INVARIANTI
Roma, Italia
Mannheim, May 16, 1996
Cari amici di INVARIANTI,
In the meantime our writings have been dealt
with by the Central Committees in Hanoi and Santiago de Cuba. We learned about
this through their embassies in Austria, together with an express
congratulation in this regard. They are examining "whether Wolfgang did
develop socialism further. Some are in favour, some against. A national
economist from Cuba was against it on the grounds: If they want to do it like
that (as we do), they would have to question their whole health care
system."
New communication (16.5.96): "In Hanoi,
the Central Committee has become officially quite divided on the issue. There
is now an internal discussion paper on this, which will be sent to us."
Here is our answer in advance:
I thank the enemies of our enemies for their interest in us.
Communism by virtue of illness is indestructible.
Also in Vietnam and Cuba, everywhere this is
the proof above any other proof.
Once illness sees red,
death dies too.
Sieht Krankheit erst rot,
dann stirbt auch der Tod.
Cordially
Huber, SPK/PF(H)
