Identity

Our society is anonymous. It is inhumane, a breeding ground for dictatorship and tyranny because unfortunately everyone tends by nature to lead a life in the herd, a sheep-like existence, thus making it all the easier for the powers that be to keep tabs on us.

For this reason, the creativity of the individual is of utmost importance. Against this creativity all force is powerless; the powerful are more afraid of it than of demonstrating crowds.

The true democratisation of man means that he must now develop further creatively.

Only with creativity can the human race move forward. Individual creativity and individual responsibility for all forms of life, for the true values, are what shape society.

Identity is the protection of individual human dignity and self-reliant small-scale activity as a precondition for the autonomous development of art, nature and architecture and, correspondingly, the aspirations of man.

Identity serves to preserve tried-and-true inherited values.
