The machine of the incumbent social order masquerades behind a façade of healthcare.  As every feminist knows in relation to patriarchy: what is hidden is powerful.

The social power that oppresses us as mental health subjects operates through a very similar social power construct which could be named: psychiatriarchy.

The Psychiatriarchy Shares Many Similar Features With the Patriarchy as Follows:

It renders its subjects second in relation to non-Psychiatrised subjects, essentially creating an absolute other.

Every oppressed body has its bottom level.  The most possible oppression is to called be souless.  That is absolute otherness.

It Engenders a Social Privilege for the non-Psychiatrised parties in the form of a Psychiatric Dividend.

Class society is competitive and hierarchical over time.  Those who collude with the Psychiatric Power are awarded a status above all of the Psychiatric Caste in every social aspect and rewarded by negative discrimination for social goods before the Psychiatric Caste, .e.g. access to higher education; access to jobs, careers, professions, positions of political power, influence, status; love-interests; social discourses, etc.  In every opportunity society favours those with the Psychiatriarchy and Negatively Discriminates against those identified as psychiatrised.

It Conceals its Power Through Social Denial.

The Psychiariarchy pretends by the law of the Emperor’s New Clothes, to heal people while the Psychiatrised pretend to be healed for life - unto death. It is a torrid social collusion which dares not admit its truth.  The Psychiatriarchy knows that it is lying to itself about its pseudo-science.

The Psychiatriarchy utilises the most persuasive state powers in the form of toxic drugs and psychotherapies in order to do away with all thoughts of difference and hatred against the present society and its incumbents and hangers-on.

Its Mandate is This:

What cannot be tolerated must be treated.

What cannot be treated must be eliminated.

What cannot be eliminated must be discredited.

What cannot be discredited must be exiled.

What cannot be exiled must be buried.

What cannot be buried must be exorcised.

What can be exorcised? Nothing.

What is to be done?:

Our Task is to Expose it. 

Propaganda, Propaganda, Propaganda by experts through experience and qualification.

Our Task is to Then Do Away With the Psychiatric Profession as a Capitalist State Body.

By Stages we Shall Repeal the Psychiatric Laws.

By Stages we shall introduce equality laws to hold recruiting personnel accountable for negative discrimination in real opportunities for social progress for our subordinated stratum against the entire superincumbent strata of Class Society.

By Stages we shall suspend all State Funding for the State Psychiatric Profession.

By Stages we shall discontinue the production runs of Psychiatric Medicines.

By Stages we shall tell the psychotherapists to adopt a new mode of understanding beyond the intellectual products of all hitherto existing class societies – those being societies founded on the exploitation and oppression of one class over another.  It its wake we shall establish an association where the free development of each is the condition for the free development of all.

Our Task is to Found a New Social Democratic Order of Mental Health Freedom.

By Stages we shall build real and meaningful social solidarity between people on the basis of equality of outcome.

By Stages we shall contribute and create entirely new forms of Human Ontological Growth first by drawing on all previous experiences.  Then by mental health teaching that advances on the Communist Maxim of: From each according to his abilities – to each according to his needs.

By Stages we shall found alternative non-Capitalist State organisations for the present and future liberation of men and women and trans-people.

To do this we must act decisively and effectively.  Time waits for no-one.  Our present is the bridge to our future together in freedom and equality beyond capitalism.

This is our Mind Freedom Pledge

The Injury to One is the Liberation of All
