Anti-exploitation sentimentFrom the works of P R Sarkar Powerful popular sentiments will have to be generated immediately for the liberation of intellect. Casting aside all their inertia andprejudices, intellectuals will have to mix with the common people andengage themselves in their welfare. They will have to assist the commonpeople in their development and extend their support to allanti-exploitation movements. This approach will help to root outexploitation, stabilize the structure of society and expand theintellectual standard of the common people. Human society will moveforward to a brilliant future with rapid steps.These feelings of anti-exploitation have to be given a shape throughthe medium of social organization. A healthy social outlook has to beadopted. The parasites which live on exploitation do not want that thethroes of inactivity should disappear from the society as it is on thisfilth of stagnancy that they exist and grow. They are like sores on thesocial body.To experience the warmth of another's heart one will have to give upthe false sentiments of artificial human-made differences. For that wemust first wage a ceaseless fight against poverty. Poverty is a commonenemy of all. This campaign against poverty will have to be carried onstep by step. The first step is to arouse an anti-exploitationsentiment. Each and every person should be convinced that the entirewealth of the world is the common patrimony of all. To utilise thatwealth is the birthright of everyone and no interference in thatbirthright will be permissible.According to PROUT, there are two types of sentiments -- positivesentiments and negative sentiments. Positive sentiments are syntheticin nature. They unite society and elevate humanity, enhance collectiveinterests and encourage progressive development. Negative sentimentsare narrow in scope and divide society.Some important positive sentiments include anti-exploitation sentiment,revolutionary sentiment, moral sentiment, cultural sentiment, universalsentiment and spiritual sentiment. Some negative sentiments includecommunalism, patriotism, nationalism, provincialism, lingualism andracism.Negative sentiments should never be used to divide people into castesand communities -- to create artificial fissiparous tendencies insociety. Rather, they should always be used to bring unity amongstpeople. Hitler used racism in an effort to unite the German people andhe succeeded in the short-term, but because he used negative sentimentsonly and had no positive sentiments, his approach resulted in a worldwar and the near destruction of Germany. The path of negativity isextremely dangerous and harmful for society. Positive sentiments arethe real weapons to build society. This must never be forgotten under any circumstances.

If an anti-exploitation sentiment is created among the poverty-strickenmasses, not only will a strong nation or a strong group of nations beformed, but this nation or group of nations will continue with duesolidarity for a long time. The leaders should, therefore, rectify theerrors of the past and vigorously launch a fresh anti-exploitationcampaign. There is no other alternative.Although the anti-exploitation sentiment is the most important factor in building a nation or a group of nations, this sentiment will not beable to sustain a nation or a group of nations for a long time. One dayexploitation must cease. If it is not stopped completely, it can beconfidently said that in the future the intensity of exploitation willbe much less than what it is today. In the absence of exploitation theanti-exploitation sentiment will die out, and consequently a nation or a group of nations based on the anti-exploitation sentiment will notexist either.What will happen then? The sentiment of universalism will keep peopleunited. It is true that this spiritual sentiment will not help to forma nation inside any particular country, but it will definitely unitethe entire planetary world into a nation. Then there will be only onenation a universal nation.Today human beings, to whatever country they may belong, should, on theone side, propagate an anti-exploitation sentiment (exploitation doesnot mean exploitation in the economic sphere only, it includes allsorts of exploitation), and form strong nations in their respectivecountries; and, on the other side, preach the theory of one spiritualinheritance - universalism - that all people of all nations belong tothe same family.PROUT always stands for the cause of exploited people, irrespective of race, nation, religion etc., and always opposes all types of exploitation. But as poverty is the main problem in the world today,PROUT gives top priority to opposing economic exploitation, as thisaffects the livelihood and existence of the people.To solve this problem and other pressing socio-economic problems,popular movements based on anti-exploitation and universal sentimentsshould be launched throughout the world. Such movements should opposeall forms of economic, psychic, cultural and psycho-economicexploitation. In addition they should undertake appropriate practicalprograms to enhance the all-round welfare of the people.Regardless of whether they are rich or poor, old or young, educated or illiterate, if the local people are inspired by anti-exploitation anduniversal sentiments, they will be able to start powerful movements for socio-economic liberation. When people merge their individualsocio-economic interests with the collective socio-economic interest,the outflow of economic wealth from a region will cease andexploitation will be completely rooted out. The right of fullemployment for all local people will be guaranteed, and the employmentof local people will take precedence over non-local people.Essential elements of this campaign are:
