In 1981, Jacques Attali discussed the transformation of health and
education systems towards commodification. As a socialist, he viewed
humans merely as units of production whose children could be bought and
sold.
He believed the lives of people who were costing society
rather than producing should “stop itself brutally. “Euthanasia will be
one of the essential instruments of our future societies,” he said.
Attali is a French deep politician, a hidden decision-maker who treats politicians as puppet masters would treat puppets.
A
translation of Salomon’s interview with Attali in 1981 was widely
shared on social media a few years ago. However, this version was not
correct. It quoted Attali as saying:
In the future it will be a
question of finding a way to reduce the population. We will start with
the old, because as soon as it exceeds 60-65 years man lives longer than
he produces and costs society dearly, then the weak and then the
useless who do nothing for society because there will be more and more
of them, and especially the stupid ones.
Euthanasia targeting
these groups; euthanasia will have to be an essential instrument of our
future societies, in all cases. We cannot of course execute people or
set up camps. We will get rid of them by making them believe it is for
their own good.
Too large a population, and for the most part
unnecessary, is something economically too expensive. Socially, it is
also much better for the human machine to come to an abrupt halt rather
than gradually deteriorating. We won’t be able to run intelligence tests
on millions and millions of people, you can imagine!
We will
find something or cause it, a pandemic that targets certain people, a
real economic crisis or not, a virus that will affect the old or the
fat, it doesn’t matter, the weak will succumb to it, the fearful and the
stupid will believe it and ask to be treated.
We will have taken care to have planned the treatment, a treatment that will be the solution.
The selection of idiots will thus be done on its own: they will go to the slaughterhouse on their own.
Attali is a socialist and, as such, he views people in terms of production and believes that humans are comparable to and competing with machines, which are more productive and will replace humans. This in itself is a disturbing worldview and, of course, leads to even more disturbing worldviews, such as the euthanasia of those who are deemed unproductive, including those over a certain age.
“As soon as one passes 60/65 years, man lives longer than he produces and he, therefore, costs more to society,” Attali said. “Hence, I believe that in the same logic of industrial society, the objective is no longer going to be the elongation of life expectancy, but to make sure that within a determined length of life, man lives the best life possible, but of such a kind, that health expenses will be the most reduced as possible in terms of the costs for the collectivity. Therefore, giving rise to a new criterion for life expectancy: that of the value of a health system, focused not on the elongation of life expectancy, but on the number of years without illness, and particularly without hospitalisation. In fact, from the point of view of society, it is more preferable that the human machine stops itself brutally rather than it deteriorating gradually.”
