Translated from MSZ 10-1984
In scholarly discussions the "foreigner question," which dominates everyone today, such ugly tones as "Foreigners out!" are rarely heard when a tougher approach to dealing with the now unwanted human material is advocated. The educated commentators on the foreigner "problem" have mastered the art of transforming the state's dictates about what foreigners are allowed or required to do into a form of treatment that suits their own purposes.
The use of racist vocabulary about a master race and the inferior genetic heritage of other peoples is simply out of place when considering the question that enlightened democrats are asking themselves after decades of employing foreign workers: whether "integration" is even possible, and if so, how it should be achieved. There is no trace of outdated racism in the demand to integrate these "other people," with all their "difference," into the national body of ethnic Germans from Russia, wealthy capitalists from the Lower Rhine, part-time farmers from Bavaria, and Polish miners from the Ruhr, all united by the German national soul. There is no need to even mention inferior genetic heritage or reprehensible character to claim that the adaptation of foreigners to German "behaviors" is nothing short of a benefit to these "foreigners." "We" show respect for "our foreign guests," and "we" understand their "problems" with "integration." It is not "we," let alone the German state, who ultimately dictate to foreign nationals how they are to be used and how they are to behave. It is the foreigners themselves who do so.
The situation of foreigners calls for "assimilation"
Since the "foreign worker," with his Turkish national soul, earns his living in German factories, even though Turkish poverty is his homeland, the situation must appear to him as "characterized by extraordinary diffuseness, contradiction, and undefinedness." Without his state, he lacks the orientation he so desperately needs, which is why subordination to the German state is also the best thing that can happen to a Turk with his cognitive difficulties. Foreigners owe their new homeland and their own identity formation certain "assimilation efforts":
They should learn German! No, sorry, what I mean is the "dimension" of "cognitive assimilation as the acquisition of relevant skills (including language acquisition)".
They shouldn't always isolate themselves, hang around train stations, and drive away the Germans with the smell of garlic! Wait, that's not a fabricated quote. The "dimension" meant was "social assimilation as the establishment of inter-ethnic contacts."
They should finally support the German national team, believe in the Allah practiced in the Federal Republic of Germany, show more reverence for the German flag, and above all – if they are allowed to be here at all – they should finally learn to love the Federal Republic! In plain terms; it's about the dimension of "identificative assimilation as the identification with aspects and symbolisms of the host country".
This is surely the very least that the "diffuse situation" can expect from them, and what German politics can rightly use as grounds for deporting foreigners who are not "capable of integration".
THE PSYCHOLOGICAL NATURE OF MAN DEMANDS
AFTER DEPORTATION OF FOREIGNERS
Far beyond inciting hatred against Turks and Italians and preaching racism , modern racists give racism a scientifically neutral seal of approval. Firstly, they claim it's not a political practice, but merely a matter of attitude, a prejudice; secondly, however, one can't simply dismiss such things: "xenophobia" and "norm-preserving aggression" are, in fact, "universals of human social behavior." Racism exists , therefore it must exist, and therefore, because it belongs to human nature and not to citizenship, it deserves a friendly name and even a positive function: "Xenophobia" has its deeper social meaning . The German master race demands not the preservation of the species, but the "preservation of the norm." Black hair, headscarves, and slanted eyes right in our midst—then "even" Germans must become "shy," "alienated," and "set themselves apart." After all, there must be order; where would we end up otherwise! Thus, intellectually minded Germans criticize their state, which spreads the "quicksand of permissiveness" (the foreigners should be banned!), with "hard psychological facts that are not up for political debate," to which it should therefore dutifully adhere. In the best interests of the foreigners, of course, for whom the "universal" of "xenophobia" is not acceptable, and expulsion by the German state is all the more tolerable. In their propaganda advocating state crackdowns, they distinguish themselves from the overly simplistic "foreigners out" commentary of the Bild newspaper and are, in general, incredibly pro-foreigner.
"In addition, inner distances to people of different ethnicities can be associated with a high respect for this difference, without necessarily implying a willingness to experience its forms of expression on a daily basis."
Foreigners stink, after all - hats off, not bad.
The foreigner's national nature demands his expulsion.
Democratic racists don't simply proclaim the state's will to expel foreigners; they discover a right in the foreigner—not, of course, to expulsion, but to their "identity," specifically where they belong. The foreigner's nature simply doesn't fit into German society; it is capable of provoking "xenophobia," murder, and manslaughter—a “procreative behavior” like that of rabbits (from which German mothers should take a lesson), "criminal tendencies" that represent a "social time bomb," and a lack of the "industrial virtues of attention and concentration indispensable for life in Western Europe." Under the guise of "cultural identity," however, all of this is respected and praised—as the foreigner's right to feel unconditionally at ease with their nature, their national virtues, and, in other words, at home .
In this respect, the self-righteous nationalism of the Federal Republic of Germany is also very self-critical: Haven't "we" demanded too much of foreigners with our idea of the possibility of "integration" of "ethnically different" people? Can such a person even become like "us"? It's high time to do justice to the foreigner – by obligating him to act out his inferiority complex in a state that is exactly right for him. Domestic misery and domestic political persecution – that's what "identity" rejoices in!
