THE ADDRESS OF A MAN THEY SAY ABOUT HIM I'm sorry but I do not want to be an emperor, it is not my job, I will not rule and conquer anybody, I would like to help all, Jews, Aryans, men, blacks and whites, all of us will always help us, we only enjoy the happiness of others, do not hate us and despise one another. In this world there is room for everyone, nature is rich enough for all of us, life can be free and beautiful, but we have forgotten. Greed has poisoned our hearts, has barricaded the world with hate, has brought us a goose-stepping to make things worst, we have developed speed but we have shut ourselves. The machine abundance gave us poverty, science has turned into bugs, greed has made us hard and unkind, we think too much and feel too little. More than machinery we need humanity more than cleverness we need kindness and gentleness, without these qualities, life will be violent and all is lost. The airplane and the radio have brought us closer together, the very nature of these inventions cries out for the goodness in 'man, cries out for universal brotherhood, the unity of humanity. Even now my voice is reaching millions of people around the world, millions of men, women and children, victims of a system that makes men torture and imprison innocent people. To those who can hear me, I say, do not despair! The greed that hurt us is only a passenger, the bitterness of men who fear the way of human progress. The hate of men will pass and dictators and the power they took from the people return to the people and use whatever means freedom can not be deleted. Soldiers! Do not give yourselves to brutes, men who despise you and exploit them, telling you how to live, what to do, what to say, what to think, that regiment, will condition, treat you like cattle. Do not give yourselves to these people without a soul, machine men, with machines in place of the brain and cuore.Voi are not machines, you are not cattle, you are men!
