Discordians have no interests separate and apart
from those of the Discordian Movement as a whole.
Discordians do not set up any sectarian principles of their own,
by which to shape and mold the Discordian Movement.

The Discordian Movement is distinguished from
religions, sciences or ideologies by this only:
it is the only truth.

The immediate aim of the Discordian Movement is the same as that of all other human gedankexperiments: disorganization away from a unified class, a silent underground ridiculing of greyface supremacist and an accompanying underground burst of laughter at the expense of greyfaces. Discordians aim to achieve an ever political non-existence for in combat, he who has no opponent is sure to win. The legitimacy of the  Discordian Movement is not recognised by any state or governement, this is alright since the Discordian Movement does not recognize the legitimacy of any religion or governement.

The catmas of the Discordian Movement are in no way based on ideas or principles that have been invented, or discovered, by this or that would be universal greyface. They are suspicions, in general terms, born out of actual relations springing from existing individuals, obtained through a paratheo-transcommunication within one's very own pineal gland. The abolition of orderly relations is not at all a distinctive feature of the Discordian Movement. All orderly relations in the past have continually been subject to historical changes consequent upon changes in the historical conditions.

The cola wars, for example, abolished orderly use of the single brand name Coca Cola^TM in favor of Coca Cola Classic^TM or Coke^TM. And who remembers La Coca Roacha, thanks to Bavarian Illuminati and Greyface disinformation, mostly nobody.

The distinguishing feature of the Discordian Movement is not the abolition of order generally, but the abolition of destructive order. Modern state and religious order is the final and most complete expression of the system of producing and appropriating ideological slaves that is based on ideologic antagonisms, on the exploitation of the many by the many.

In this sense, the catma of the Discordian Movement may be summed up in the single sentence:
Abolition of private thinking, nothing less than worldwide open source brain surgery.

Every man has its price but YOU are free!
Think for yourself so keep it to yourself!
Thoughts come out of the Discordian Movement for no reason,
and they return to the Discordian Movement for no reason.
Free thinking! Limited time offer! Two for one!
Complimentary set of steak knives for every free thought before the eschaton! 

Throught the use of Kopyleft, we, of the Discordian Movement, have been reproached with the desire of abolishing the right of personally acquiring ideas as the fruit of a sentient being's own labor, which ideas are alleged to be the groundwork of all sapiens freedom, activity and independence. Hard-won, self-acquired, self-earned ideas? Do you mean the ideas of petty partisans and of the big dominant alpha male, a form of ideology that preceded the sapiens form? There is no need to abolish that; the development of internet has to a great extent already destroyed it, and is still destroying it daily. Or do you mean the modern greyface private ideology?

Does emprisoned thinking create any order for the thinker? Not a bit. It creates ideology, i.e. dogma, that kind of ideology which exploits emprisoned thinking and which cannot increase except upon conditions of begetting a new supply of emprisoned thinkers for fresh exploitation. Thinking, in its present form, is based on the antagonism of ideology and emprisoned thinking. Let us examine both sides of this antagonism.

To be a thinker, is to have not only a purely personal, but a social STATUS in thinking. Ideology is a collective product, and only by the united action of many members, nay, in the last resort, only by the united action of all members of sentienty, can it be set in motion.

Ideology is therefore not only personal; it is a sentient power.

When, therefore, ideas are converted into copylefted or creative commons or open source property, into the property of all members of sentienty, personal thinking is not thereby transformed into social thinking. It is only the social character of the property that is changed. It loses its character of being owned.

Let us now take emprisoned thinking.

The average breadth of emprisoned thinking is the minimum thought, i.e., that quantum of the means of subsistence which is absolutely requisite to keep the thinker in bare existence as a thinker. What, therefore, the emprisoned thinker appropriates by means of his thinking merely suffices to prolong and reproduce a bare existence. We by no means intend to abolish this personal appropriation of the products of thinking, an appropriation that is made for the maintenance and reproduction of sentient life and that leaves no surplus wherewith to command the thinking of others. All that we want to do away with is the miserable character of  appropriation of thinking, intellectual property, under which the thinker lives merely to increase ideology, and is allowed to live only in so far as the interest of the greyface ruling class requires it.

In greyface sentienty, live thinking is but a means to increase accumulated thinking, intellectual property - juts one more prodcut that can be commercialised and exchanged for symbolic currencies. In the Discordian Sentienty, accumulated thinking is but a means to widen, to enrich, to promote the existence of the thinker.

In greyface sentienty, therefore, the past dominates the present; in the Discordian Sentienty, the present dominates the past. In greyface sentienty, ideology is independent and has individuality, thoughts do not belong to the thinker but to the owner of the intellectual property. The living person is dependent and has no individuality.

The abolition of this state of things is called by the greyface, abolition of individuality and freedom! And rightly so. The abolition of greyface individuality, greyface independence, and greyface freedom is undoubtedly aimed at.

By freedom is meant, under the present greyface hegemony, free trade, free selling and buying of thoughts. But if selling and buying of thinking disappears, free selling and free buying of thinking disappears also. This talk about free selling and free buying of thinking, and all the other "brave words" of our greyface about freedom in general, have a meaning, if any, only in contrast with restricted selling and buying of thoughts, with the fettered thinkers of the Middle Ages, but have no meaning when opposed to the Discordian Movement abolition of buying and selling thoughts, abolition of the greyface conditions of thought production, and abolition of the greyface itself.

You are horrified at our intending to do away with private thinking. But in your existence, private thinking is already done away with for nine-tenths of the population; its existence for the few is solely due to its non-existence in the heads of those nine-tenths. You reproach us, therefore, with intending to do away with a form of thinking, the necessary condition for whose existence is the non-existence of any thinking for the immense majority of society. Think about that!

In one word, they reproach us with intending to do away with their ideology.
Precisely so, that is just what we intend.

From the moment when thought can no longer be converted into ideology, money, or copyright, into a social power capable of being immanentized, i.e., from the moment when individual thoughts can no longer be transformed into greyface thoughts, into ideologies, into dogma, from that moment, you say, individuality vanishes.

You must, therefore, confess that by "individual" you mean no other person than the greyface, than the middle-class thinker of ideas. This person must, indeed, be swept out of the way, and made impossible.

The Discordian Movement deprives no man of the power to appropriate the thoughts of society; all that it does is to deprive him of the power to subjugate the thinking of others by means of such appropriations.

It has been objected that upon the abolition of private thinking, all thinking will cease, and universal intellectual laziness will overtake us.

According to this, greyface society ought long ago to have gone to the dogs through sheer idleness; for those who acquire most things, do not think. The whole of this objection is but another expression of a tautology: There can no longer be any emprisoned thinking when there is no longer any ideology.

All objections urged against the Discordian Movement mode of thinking and sharing intellectual products have, in the same way, been urged against the Discordian Movement mode of producing and sharing material products. Just as to the greyface, the disappearance of greyface ideology is the disappearance of thinking itself, so the disappearance of greyface culture is to him identical with the disappearance of all culture.

That culture, the loss of which he laments, is, for the enormous majority, a mere training to act as a machine. Welcome my son, welcome to the machine.

But don't wrangle with us so long as you apply, to our intended abolition of greyface thinking, the standard of your greyface notions of freedom, culture, law, etc. Your very ideas are but the outgrowth of the conditions of your greyface thinking and greyface ideology, just as your jurisprudence is but the will of your greyface class made into a law for all, a will whose essential character and direction are determined by the intellectual conditions of existence of your greyface class.

The selfish misconception that induces you to transform into eternal laws of nature and of reason the social forms springing from your present mode of thinking and form of ideology -- historical relations that rise and disappear in the progress of illumination -- this misconception you share with every ruling class that has preceded you. What you see clearly in the case of ancient ideology, what you admit in the case of feudal ideology, you are of course forbidden to admit in the case of your own greyface form of ideology.

The Discordian Movement are further reproached with desiring to abolish nationality and species domination.

Thinkers have no country. We cannot take from them what they have not got. Since sentient beings must first of all acquire political supremacy, must rise to be the leading beings of this universe, must constitute themselves the universe, it is, so far, itself national, though not in the greyface sense of the word.

National differences and antagonisms between sentient beings are daily more and more vanishing, owing to the development of the global village, the internet, to freedom of commerce, to the world market, to uniformity in the modes of production and in the conditions of life corresponding thereto.

The supremacy of the Discordian Movement will cause them to vanish still faster. Rogue and disorganized action of the leading civilized countries at least is one of the first conditions for the emancipation of sentient beings.

In proportion as the exploitation of one individual by another will be put an end to, the exploitation of classes of humans by another will also be put an end to. In proportion as the antagonism between classes of humans within the nation vanishes, the hostility of one nation to another will come to an end. In proportion as the antagonism between nations within the homo sapiens species vanishes, the hostility of one species to another will come to an end.

The charges against the Discordian Sentienty made from a religious, a philosophical and, generally, from an ideological standpoint, are not deserving of serious examination.

Does it require deep intuition to comprehend that people's ideas, views, and conception, in one word, people's consciousness, changes with every change in the conditions of their material existence, in their social relations and in their social life?

What else does the history of ideas prove than that intellectual production changes its character in proportion as material production is changed? The ruling ideas of each age have ever been the ideas of its ruling class.

When people speak of the ideas that revolutionize sentienty, they do but express that fact that within the old sentienty the elements of a new one have been created and that the dissolution of the old ideas keeps even pace with the dissolution of the old conditions of existence. The snail must leave its old shell to inhabit its new one just as excrements must leave the intestines to fertilize arable fields.

When the ancient world was in its last throes, the ancient religions were overcome by Christianity. When Christian ideas succumbed in the eighteenth century to rationalist ideas, feudal society fought its death battle with the then revolutionary bourgeoisie. The ideas of religious liberty and freedom of conscience merely gave expression to the sway of free competition within the domain of knowledge. Then the land of the free became the world leading terrorist nation and knowledge and democracy was overcome by profit and capitalism and a series of war devoid of ideological purposes but economically productive – for a few non-fighting one - ensued.

"Undoubtedly," it will be said, "religious, moral, philosophical, and juridicial ideas have been modified in the course of historical development. But religion, morality, philosophy, political science, and law, constantly survived this change."

"There are, besides, eternal truths, such as Chaos, Impermanence, etc., that are common to all states of sentienty. But the Discordian Movement is characterised by these eternal truths, it has abolished all religion and all morality. Instead of being a new constituent of any of them, it acts in isolation to past historical experiences of which it is not isolated."

The history of all past society has consisted in the development of discordian and greyface antagonisms, antagonisms that assumed different forms at different epochs. But whatever form they may have taken, one fact is common to all past ages, viz., the exploitation of one part of society by the other. No wonder, then, that the social consciousness of past ages, despite all the multiplicity and variety it displays, moves within certain common forms or general ideas which cannot completely vanish even with the total disappearance of sapient antagonisms.

The Discordian Movement catma is the most illusory rupture with traditional relations; no wonder that its development involved the most radical rapture of traditional reality.

But let us have done with the greyface objections to the Discordian Movement.

We have heard before that one step in the Discordian direction is to raise the eristic principle through Freaking and or and/or Fucking and or and/or Freaking Fucking Operation Mindfuck. The discordians will use their political invisibility to wrest, by degree, all ideolgies from the greyfaces, to centralize all instruments of onanism from the hands of the state, i.e., of the greyfaces organized as the ruling class, and to increase the total creative forces of Operaton Mindfuck as rapidly as possible.

Of course, in the beginning, this cannot be effected except by means of orgasmic inroads on the rights of cabbages, and on the conditions of greyface constipation, by means of measures which appear economically insufficient and untenable but which, in the thrust of the bowel movement, outstrip themselves, necessitating further inroads upon the old social farts and which are unavoidable as means of entirely revolutionizing the modes of fornication.

These measures will, of course, be different in different hands.

Nevertheless, in most major consenting adults, the following will be pretty generally applicable.

When, in the course of development, satisfaction distinctions have disappeared and all pleasure has been concentrated in the hands, mouths, protruding organs and other orifices of the whole nation, the public washroom will lose its forbidden character. Political power, properly so called, is merely the organized power of one greyface for oppressing another. If the Discordians during their contest with the greyface are compelled by the force of circumstances to organize themselves as a cabal; if, by means of a thought revoluation, they make themselves invisible and, as such, sweep away by stealth (through silence and exile) and cunning the old conditions of reproduction, then it will, along with these conditions, have swept away the conditions for the existence of antagonisms and of greyface generally and will thereby have abolished its own supremacy as a group.

In place of the old greyface society, with its illuminati and eschaton immanentization, we shall have a disorganization in which the free development of each sentient being is the condition for the free development of all.

The Discordian Movement fights for the attainment of immediate aims, for the enforcement of the sexual interests of the Discordians but in the movement of the present, it also represents and takes care of the future of that movement.

The Discordian Movement never ceases, for a single instant, to instill into the Discordians the clearest possible recognition of the ecstatic orgasm between consenting adult sentient beings.

In short, the Discordian Movement everywhere supports every Discordian individual participating to Operation Mindfuck or merely having a fuck with the existing social and political order of things.

Secretaries are pretty.

In all these movements, Discordians penetrate from the front or from the back, men and women, as the leading thrust in each, the orgasm, no matter what its degree of ecstasy at the time.

Finally, they think everywhere about the union and communion of the male and female genitalia of all sentient beings.

The Discordians disdain to conceal their tits and dicks. They openly declare that their ends can be attained without any forcible overthrow of any existing social conditions. Let the ruling classes totally ignore a Discordian Movement Mindfuck, that fuck will be minded and that mind will be fucked. The Discordians have nothing to lose but their virginity or frigidity.

They have an orgasm to gain.

Do you believe that?

Discordians of all cabals, get down make love!

Hail Eris! All Hail Discordia!!
