SWISSMADE 2069 (or where futurologists

and archaeologists shake hands)

I'm looking for a man to neutralize my present surplus lust.

The borders of our totally democratic "Brain Centre" state

differ only marginally from the borders of the former old Confederation.

In our totally democratic "Brain Centre" state there are two settlement areas:

There is the normal state in which the integrated majority of population lives,

then we have a few small reservations in which a small, radical

and brooding minority leads its miserable life.

These people, whose personality structure dates from the time

before the great upheaval and cannot be remoulded any more,

live there at the expense of the integrated majority of population,

that is, we care for their material existence, we tolerate them.

As for the rest, we do not look after them, for they have nothing to

contribute to the success of our state, do not even have a programme to show.

The only clear condition we have to set is

that they do not cross the borders of their reservations.

Thus we have succeeded in creating a final solution for the minorities

and thus we shall manage to maintain law and order.

BRAIN CELL

This integrated

majority of population actually forms

our state. They live like they used to

in towns, villages and housing estates.

At the head of our state is the "Brain Centre".

It is in constant, direct contact with every integrated citizen

and determines the political, economic and cultural functions of the state.

This complete integration of every individual citizen

allows for an absolute democratic social structure.

Thus public and private life

pass off in absolute law and order.

Every newborn integrated citizen is the product of exact planning.

Our national population plan adapts the necessary population figure

exactly to the material requirements of our country.

All integrated citizens come of age when they are seven years old.

Growth is accelerated biologically

and the upper age limit is fixed at 41,

thus everyone spends his life within his optimum span of efficiency.

Upbringing, education and occupation are decided upon by the "Brain Centre"

in accordance with the exactly determined requirements of our state.

The coordination

between the "Brain Centre" and the integrated citizens

takes place via a perfectly developed system

of "Brain Cells" and "Brain Corners".

The "Brain Cells", like these here,

are branch stations of the "Brain Centre".

Here every integrated citizen regularly undergoes the standard test.

This test registers the present mental

and physical state.

Standard data, but also every deviation, for example irrational thoughts,

are immediately detected and stored in the "Brain Centre" in code form.

Every integrated citizen has his own personal register in the "Brain Centre".

The "Brain Centre" permanently renews,

processes and stores all personal registers.

The sum of all the personal registers determines the new needs

and thereby the whole economic and social evolution.

The decisions of the "Brain Centre" therefore always correspond

with the real needs of the entire population.

Beyond the standard test

every integrated citizen can contact the "Brain Centre".

For this purpose a well-developed network

of "Brain Corners" is available.

Every "Brain Corner" allows

you to contact the "Brain Centre"

just as you wish.

The requested information is given immediately.

The air is sultry,

impregnated with the seeds of what is arising,

rotten with the germ of the great turn of events.

Oh, sheet lightning before the storm,

oh, time of maturity, mature for the birth of something new

that will be under the sun.

Just a minute, you fullness of time,

the minute of the great revolution,

a hundred times fingers point at you today.

BUILDING ZONE

All integrated citizens form a complete unity with the "Brain Centre",

which regenerates permanently.

We are therefore all equally a part of the government and administration.

Our "Brain Centre" guarantees absolute, democratic equality

and secures our sovereignty, law and order.

It looks after every integrated citizen personally and in the monthly

personal report it regularly gives recommendations, advice and reprimands.

You have nothing to be afraid of.

Ignore products from reservations.

Use legal crossings.

Data also concerns you.

Reservations are not rubbish pits.

But I threw the apple away.

The places of work can be changed.

Supply and demand determine the change of one's job.

There is a great staff turnover here.

That is very pleasant, like this you don't get to know each other.

31...

32... 33... 34... 35... 36... 37... 38... 39...

I've been on guard here since '59.

I'm on guard here against any enemy that could come from the outside.

I was doing military service at the time of the upheaval,

and now I am defending the democracy...

that prevailed at that time.

I am the last Swiss

who wants to defend the good old party democracy...

I uphold...

the will to defend...

and I am convinced that...

only this will to defend...

can contribute to the borders being maintained.

I still have "standard" for 30 years,

this standard food,

and when my work as a guard permits...

I try to eke out this food by fishing.

I still have...

a quality heart...

of the Swiss, that is quality...

it certainly has a guarantee for another 100 years.

I'm sure it will beat even longer,

it is plastic, most likely, and...

it is very reliable, I think.

And even if I don't have any more ammunition, it will...

certainly serve as a deterrent.

And I also think if I stick it out...

the old democracy will have to return.

Even if I don't own a square metre of soil,

it is the freedom and democracy that I want to defend.

Yes, go and tell them about it in your world.

I am really very glad that the "Brain Centre" was so indulgent

to pardon my momentary emotion.

I have withdrawn to this reservation to quietly develop my plan

of setting up an international territory for outsiders in Switzerland.

Here you see one of the first drafts.

To me outsiders are individuals

who cannot adjust to our completely administered states.

For example poets,

nudists, criminals, anarchists,

dreamers and crackpots, intellectuals,

scientists, followers and other autonomous thinking people.

To carry out this plan, we have already got in touch

with all the "Brain Centres" of the countries of this world.

This is what we would have in mind:

These countries would pay a certain sum-

according to the number of inhabitants of course -

to us, to our country, this would entitle them

to deport people, enemies of the state, or generally speaking, individuals

to our country.

This way of course we hope to put into effect

a humane social system

which – we hope – is similar to the one of your world. Thank you.

This is our standard food.

It feeds us psychologically and physically.

Are you from overseas?

Damn foreigners!

Come in!

Switzerland is still a hospitable country.

Or are they foreign workers?

Damn foreigners?

Come in!

For 59 years I have been the only and last Swiss to live in this country.

Unfortunately the fucking upheaval severely affected

the geographical location.

However, culturally and politically

it has remained the same romantic and insignificant island.

Understand the misunderstood.

Refame the defamed.

Free the suppressed.

Concriminate the discriminated.

Respect the outcasts.

Aim to educate the aimless.

Deblind the blinded.

Humanize the dehumanized.

This barren rock we are standing on

is all that is left of the free Confederation.

And this one here with his seven remote-controlled brain whores

wants to turn this island into a territory for anarchists.

I don't want that.

I don't want that!

I shall stab him,

crush him, grind him, cut him up into pieces,

strangle him with his own stake.

Hate!

And if that doesn't work I'll fetch that other man

who's been standing at the border since 1291 with an unloaded gun.

He'll become his victim.

I think that will work.

Our totally democratic system knows neither superiors nor subordinates.

All decisions are made by our "Brain Centre"

on the basis of permanent data gathering.

Don't you know our total democracy at all?

What developing planet are you from?

The developing planet – some time later.
