Bob asked, “OK, Raj, why'd you do it?” Instead of Raj, Chris answered, “Look, Bob, you're not gonna believe this, anyhow; and I can explain it better than he can - OK? Then you can ask him if I'm right.” Bob said, “Sure,” and Chris continued:
“You're expecting me to say Raj didn't exactly understand, and leave it at that. But there's more you need to understand. Raj was a Communist. If you've forgotten, Kerala has one of the strongest Communist parties in the non-Communist world. They recruited regularly at his school. You can't really become a party member at his age - the kids' equivalent is the Young Communist League. Raj has the membership card in his wallet - since it's in Hindi, you'll have to take my word for it.
“So, while we've both been exposed to socialism, which is a watered-down version of Communism, Raj has seen the real McCoy. Now, as you know, one of Karl Marx's goals was to destroy the family - it's near the end of the Communist Manifesto where he says it. So Young Pioneers train their kids to get rid of their parents, by making phony charges of child abuse. And once they've done that, then you get rid of the social workers by charging them with abusing you.
“At that point, the kid's on his own, and the only friends he's got is the Communist Youth League - that's how they enlist new members. In Kerala, at least, it's worked quite well - they've been very successful. Of course, the first part didn't apply to Raj - he had no parents. But more than once, he'd helped them frame social workers the Communists wanted out of the way, by accusing them of stuff they'd never done.
“So Raj wasn't really scared of the social workers here. He felt free to tell them off, because he assumed if they actually came to investigate, he could entrap them, threaten them, and run them off.”
Chris added, “You should understand, Bob, CPS is a worldwide operation. If the local office puts his name in their computer, it'll show that Raj sent five social workers in Kerala to jail last year. When they see that, they won't come near him.”
Sic Semper Tyrannis is a memoir about a time, not so long past, when men were free, religious values were taken seriously. and parents were allowed to pass on the cultural heritage to their children without governmental interference. As David Selznick remarked concerning the Antebellum South, "Look for it only in books, for it is no more than a dream remembered, a Civilization gone with the wind . . . "
This fictional account is the story of what might have been, had Christian parents possessed the courage of their convictions. It depicts the use of spanking and other types of physical correction, from the perspective of an adolescent boy.
Twelve year old Billy Martin has been suddenly uprooted from the only home he knows, in liberal Stockholm, and sent to live with his eighteen year old brother, Bob, who has recently joined an ultra-conservative religious group in Idaho.Billy, a high-spirited youth, has been allowed to run at loose ends for his entire life, and has never experienced discipline of any kind. He now finds himself in a vastly different world. Bob immediately sets about bringing his kid brother into line, and giving him the “Biblical discipline” that he, and the other sect members, consider essential to proper child rearing. Billy strives to come to grips with the new reality.
While the characters are wholly imaginary, the issues they confront are real, and threaten to undermine the very foundations of our civilization. This work does not contain any erotic material, but is a sobering assessment of today's child rearing practices in the United States and Western Europe.
This is the twenty-ninth volume of a more extensive saga, which traces the course of Billy and his friends as they struggle through the years of adolescence, and should be required reading for every adolescent boy, his parents, and all those who seek to influence him
