Speech from <strong>Charlie</strong> <strong>Chaplin</strong>'s<br />
'The Great Dictator'<br />
<strong>Tinawt</strong> seg “<strong>Asnaraf</strong> ameqqran”<br />
n <strong>Charlie</strong> <strong>Chaplin</strong><br />
I'm sorry, but I don't want to be an Emperor; that's not<br />
my business. I don't want to rule or conquer anyone. I<br />
should like to help everyone if possible, Jew, gentile,<br />
black man, white. We all want to help one another,<br />
human beings are like that. We all want to live by each<br />
other's happiness, not by each other's misery. We don't<br />
want to hate and despise one another. In this world<br />
there is room for everyone and the earth is rich and can<br />
provide for everyone.<br />
The way of life can be free and beautiful. But we have<br />
lost the way. Greed has poisoned men's souls, has<br />
barricaded the world with hate, has goose-stepped us<br />
into misery and bloodshed.<br />
We have developed speed, but we have shut ourselves<br />
in. Machinery that gives abundance has left us in want.<br />
Our knowledge has made us cynical, our cleverness hard<br />
and unkind. We think too much and feel too little. More<br />
than machinery we need humanity; more than<br />
cleverness we need kindness and gentleness. Without<br />
these qualities, life will be violent and all will be lost.<br />

The aeroplane and the radio have brought us closer<br />
together. The very nature of these inventions cries out<br />
for the goodness in men, cries out for universal<br />
brotherhood, for the unity of us all. Even now, my voice<br />
is reaching millions throughout the world, millions of<br />
despairing men, women and little children, victims of a<br />
system that makes men torture and imprison innocent<br />
people. To those who can hear me, I say: "Do not<br />
Asafag ed uṛadyu yessemẓaẓ-aγ-d. Agama anaṣli n<br />

despair! »<br />
The misery that is now upon us is but the passing of<br />
greed, the bitterness of men who fear the way of human<br />
progress. The hate of men will pass and dictators die<br />
and the power they took from the people will return to<br />
the people. And so long as men die, liberty will never<br />
perish.<br />
Soldiers, don't give yourselves to brutes! Men who<br />
despise you and enslave you; who regiment your lives,<br />
tell you what to do, what to think and what to feel; who<br />
drill you, diet you, treat you as cattle, as cannon-fodder.<br />
Don't give yourselves to these unnatural men, machine<br />
men, with machine minds and machine hearts. You are<br />
not machines. You are not cattle. You are men. You<br />
have the love of humanity in your hearts. You don't<br />
hate only the unloved hate. Only the unloved and the<br />
unnatural. Soldiers, don't fight for slavery! Fight for<br />
liberty!<br />
In the 17 th chapter of Saint Luke, it is written: "The<br />
kingdom of God is within man". Not one man, nor a<br />
group of men, but in all men; in you, the people. You,<br />
the people, have the power; the power to create<br />
machines; the power to create happiness. You, the<br />
people, have the power to make this life free and<br />
beautiful, to make this life a wonderful adventure. Then<br />
in the name of democracy, let's use that power, let us all<br />
unite! Let us fight for a new world, a decent world that<br />
will give men a chance to work; that will give you the<br />
future and old age and security. By the promise of these<br />
things, brutes have risen to power, but they lie. They do<br />
not fulfil their promise, they never will. Dictators free<br />
themselves, but they enslave the people. Now let us<br />
fight to fulfil that promise. Let us fight to free the world,<br />
to do away with national barriers, do away with greed,<br />
with hate and intolerance. Let us fight for a world of<br />
reason, a world where science and progress will lead to<br />
all men's happiness.<br />
Soldiers, in the name of democracy, let us all unite!<br />
