Dr Thomas Szasz devoted his career to fighting the inhumanity of mankind to his fellow mankind with his war against the very discipline he specialized in, psychiatry. He once eloquently stated that psychiatry certainly is not medicine and is instead politics and economics. His insights in this respect were as usual extraordinary. What is particularly disturbing about this realization is that for decades the American politicians and psychiatrists have been trying to make a name for themselves in international forums such as the United Nations by blasting other nations including Russia, China, Vietnam, Cuba and North Korea as human rights abuser nations which use psychiatry as a vehicle of political oppression. Psychiatry presents mankind with a tragic problem worldwide and how the psychiatrists have managed to permeate the infrastructure of every government system in the world with their tyrannical quackery is of deep concern. It is certainly therefore unfair to imply in that in this respect the USA and its allies including Canada, Great Britain, Japan, France, Australia, Germany and others are any better than Russia and the Communist powers in dealing with the human rights abuses inherent in psychiatry. Psychiatry is not medicine in any country in the world. Psychiatry is a brutal weapon of political and economic oppression in every country in the world. Psychiatry is simply a criminal discipline which has undermined the integrity of every nation in the world and it should be permanently abolished and the psychiatrists should be prosecuted for their massive crimes against humanity!
