discipline

The mobilization of the land, the people and the means of production in order to realize the plan. Happiness is in the imperceptible inclination of the balancing pole towards active production. Equipment: the word of command, armaments, machines and circulation, discipline? 
EXACTLY THE SAME AS FOR THE WAGING OF WAR.
One asks oneself in disbelief, 'can it really be so easy?' A simple decision of the spirit... to decide to build instead of entering into destruction.
