Stage II of the Nonviolent Rainbow Revolution

by David Huttner

Overview

Figuring out what we have to do, how we must organize ourselves to have a civilized, sustainable and happy world is simple once we become fully honest with ourselves. Many of you will take offense to my suggestion that you are not honest. You will insist that you are at least as honest as the average person you’ve known.
But I’m not talking about the relative honesty of the average savage. I’m talking about the absolute honesty one achieves when one strips away the accumulated and basic lies of our culture. Let’s refer to these basic cultural lies as masks because they prevent us from seeing ourselves and presenting ourselves as we truly are.
The masks provide covers for the most difficult problems down through the ages, problems that we have failed to fully solve. The people wearing masks are pretending otherwise, pretending that these problems don’t exist. To prove them wrong, all you have to do is touch a sore spot, converse about a subject that is taboo to them and see how fast they scream. One is only as honest and civilized as one is free of masks and taboo subjects. The First Mask is remnant of the Primal Revolution and the Neolithic and are incomplete transitions to exogamy and monogamy. It pretends that we don't love the people we most love (our siblings and opposite-sex parent) so as to facilitate and prepare us for our unhappy marriages. The Second Mask is remnant of the Species War and guilt from having exterminated our parent species. It has us pretending that we are not animals/ great apes and makes us the monsters of the natural world. The Third Mask is the product of homophobia, which is the product of monogamy, which began in the Neolithic and was fortified and institutionalized by modern religion. Because we all love our siblings and nobody gets to choose his siblings, homophobia is unfair, oppresses people with same-sex siblings and causes those who can hide their homosexuality to do so, to wear the Third Mask. It makes them the monster of society. As we approach puberty, we all know what a fraud this Third Mask is; but it is aloof from criticism because, by that time, all of us are already wearing the First and the Second Masks. We have to remove all of the masks, educate the religious people and allow everyone to love. If we commit ourselves to this and to resolving the real, K and R, class struggle; then we can inaugurate a new system of marriage and child-rearing. The Stage II system will turn our world into a paradise: guarantee everyone love with the perfect partner, totally eliminate incest complexes, infidelity, divorce and violent crime, empower women within the family as never before, make very smart people of all our little girls and geniuses of our little boys.

About the Author

I was born into a typically-dysfunctional American family that lived in a big, ugly American city. But I was born in 1949, in the early years of the Great American Celebration, when Americans were enjoying unprecedented prosperity. All the wishful thinkers attributed the prosperity to God's providence. (We were the only industrialized country lucky enough to have had two great oceans to protect us during WWII.) If their God did exist, then He had to be a sadist because those bigger houses and cars weren't making my dysfunctional family any happier. I already knew that the American Dream is a fraud and that we don't know half of what we need to know about ourselves and our ancestors when one of the periodic flights from the family problems took us to Indianapolis and landed me in Indianapolis Public School #80. Strange coincidences and a trauma of the previous spring (detailed in my memoir, "Heaven Sent") caused all of the students and most of the teachers to believe that I had been sent by God. To make a long story short, I managed -- mostly with mirrors and sleight of the hand -- to meet their wild expectations and grew to love these children that needed me therapeutically. But when the 8th grade school year was over, I wasn't allowed to go to their high school. As psychologists for the school system had anticipated, once removed from the scene where they had been traumatized, they needed to black out all memory of that scene and everyone connected with it, which included me. I realized that the whole world might be as crazy as it is due to shared traumas of our prehistoric past. I made it my goal to discover what those traumas were. It took me over 50 years. I had to major in comparative political-economic systems at college, study every social science discipline from every aspect, become part of a UN family, travel to 26 countries, live on three continents and drive a NYC taxi for many years, which kept me in touch with people from every country and walk of life -- but I did it. I figured out all the basics. I'm still not happy. Reading my books won't make you happy either. But they will inform you of what we have to do to make our world civilized and sustainable and guarantee love and happy marriages -- for all of us.
