Let's don't forget that Hubbard also wrote in _Science of Survival_:
"The sudden and abrupt deletion of all individuals occupying
the lower bands of the tone scale from the social order would
result in an almost instant rise in the cultural tone and would
interrupt the dwindling spiral into which any society may have
entered. It is not necessary to produce a world of clears in
order to have a reasonable and worthwhile social order; it is
only necessary to delete those individuals who range from 2.0
down, either by processing them enough ... or simply quarantining
them from the society."
In other words, go along with Hubbard's vision of how to produce an
"optimum" state (become a Scientology "Clear"), or be removed from
society.
Earlier in his _SOS_, Hubbard wrote on page 131:
"The only answers would seem to be the permanent quarantine of
such persons from society to avoid the contagion of their
insanities and the general turbulence which they bring into any
order"
This is illustrative of Hubbard's vision for a new world order. In
such a fascist state as the one envisioned by Hubbard, only "clears"
would have civil rights.
"In any event, any person from 2.0 down on the tone scale should
not have, in any thinking society, any civil rights of any kind..."
Lest anyone fail to grasp the seriousness of Hubbard's ideas, consider
the following from his _SOS_, page 164:
"Thus, immediately after a complete totalitarian conquest of a
country we invariably witness an extensive slaughter of indiv-
iduals. One can select with ease the individuals marked for
liquidation in the consolidation of the conquest. The selection
is not made according to the position the individual occupies but
by his individualism, his strength, and his reasonableness, or by
his continuing revolutionary desire not to conform to set and
regimented patterns."
Hubbard's disdain for individuals who are not "clear" is evident in
his definition of a "clear" -- "homo novis" (new man), as compared
to a person who is not "clear" -- a "wog", defined by Hubbard to be
a "common ordinary run-of-the mill garden-variety humanoid" -- a
homo sapien.
At the very beginning of his _Science of Survival_, Hubbard gives
the goal of Dianetics as "a world without insanity, without criminals,
and without war -- this is the goal of Dianetics."
Sound like a worthwhile goal?
Think again.
Realize that a person "below 2.0 on the tone scale" is _insane_ in
Hubbard's and Scientology's view.
>From _SOS_, pages 89-90:
"A 1.1 is the most dangerously insane person in society"
"Such people should be taken from the society as rapidly as
possible and uniformly institutionalized ... Because of the
covert nature of this insanity, it is completely beside the
point whether such a person is pronounced insane by any agency."
"In this level is the slime of society, the sex criminals, the
political subversives, the people whose apparently rational
activities are yet but the devious writhings of secret hate."
"No social order will survive which does not remove these people
from its midst."

One would have to be completely blind, or ignorant of history to not
see the frightening parallels between Hubbard's Scientology and Hitler's
Nazi Party ideologies.
Want to be a "Homo novis"/"Clear"/"OT"/Scientologist?
I'll pass, thank you...
