Learn to overcome the crass demands of flesh and bone, for they warp the matrix through which we perceive the world. Extend your awareness outwards, beyond the self of body, to embrace the self of group and the self of humanity. The goals of the group and the greater race are transcendent, and to embrace them is to achieve enlightenment.

"Essays on Mind and Matter"
I. The Human Hive
The Human Hive is an organization which believes that the good of the many outweighs the good of the few, or the one. Personal satisfaction and other forms of narcissism are meaningless and only divide and weaken the human race. Individual sacrifice must be made to ensure the benefit of all and help establish a lasting and perfect utopia. To achieve the state where all instinctively act for the greater good, however, social change must be directed and reeducation undertaken under strong leadership, and Chairman Yang provides that vision. This concept of sharing and broader identification can be hard to grasp, and dissent sometimes arises from those who cannot forget the selfish nature of humanity's imperfect past. In these cases deterrent must be used to crush such sentiment, for the greater good of all. Once everyone has accepted the only way of life that will lead to survival and perfection, there will be no more need of such measures and utopia will at last exist.
II. The H.I.V.E.
The Hive Institute for Vituperation of Enemies is an organization of those who believe in the Hive's message and its eventual supremacy. Their prime goal is to spread that message and to eliminate opposition, in the form of the band of rebels and ruffians variously known as the AHC (Anti Hive Cult) or the DRA (Drone Rights Association, a blatant misnomer since they support the continued exploitation of drones under the capitalist heel!) A promising new branch of the H.I.V.E., the Youth Assimilation and Naturalization Group (Y.A.N.G.) has just been founded and is quickly growing! It will teach the youth of humanity the true way to enlightenment and ensure the continued life of the Institute.
III. Why the Hive is superiour
A. Ideological
Of all the ideologies to survive the apocolypse of Earth, that of the Human Hive is the only viable belief system.
Nwabudike Morgan is a symbol of capitalistic greed and destruction. He would exploit all the lower classes for the good of the few and teaches that people should forget the good of humanity in favor of their own happiness, which will only be forgotten and meaningless after they have gone! The only important thing is the improvement of the species, for that is what will endure and the only immortality that we can achieve!
In fact, he says this:
"Resources exist to be consumed. And consumed they will be, if not by this generation then by some future. By what right does this forgotten future seek to deny us our birthright? None I say! Let us take what is ours, chew and eat our fill. "
--"The Ethics of Greed"
Deirdre Skye does not care for the future of humanity. Her only concern is the awakening planetmind. If she feels her precious monstrosity is being hurt, she will seek to end projects vital to human needs. She would rather see all of us die than her precious mindworms be hurt!
Miriam Godwinson is an example of the worst the old world had to offer. She teaches not the importance of saving humanity but service to some claptrap supernatural being! This service not to fellow man and the race but to a "God" has led to the worst moments of human history, including the massacres of the Crusades, the tortures in the Inquisition of precisely those who had humanity's interests at heart, the division of nations and other detriments to the greater good.
Corazon Santiago also supports individual achievement. Her soldiers compete and train for their own prowess. Her goal of destruction divides humanity and seeks to destroy the true utopia that can exist on Planet.
Zakharov forgets that technology is a tool for humanity. He would have us be slaves to technology. He forgets the greater good of man in his endless search for knowledge, some of which is destructive and some of which would disturb or distract the masses from their service to the state.
Pravin Lal's insistence on individual rights and cooperation between factions is nonsense. Individuals mean nothing in the grand scheme. Ever the great compromiser, he cannot see that compromises weaken the race and corrupt ideals. There can be NO cooperation with those other factions. Their very existance blocks our march to utopia.
B.Implementational
There are those that would have you believe that citizens of the Hive are enslaved or mistreated. What is true is that the masses of all other factions are exploited. A drone for Morgan may have more luxuries, but they only hide the truth from him: his labor goes to the benefit of a few individuals, who use it only for greed and not for the good of all. A Hive citizen may have to work hard and follow orders, but he knows that what he does is for the good of all, and as a part of that group he is benefitting from his work. Sometimes drones who do not understand this need to be reeducated, but it is for their own good and so that they may work knowing that their self of humanity is thriving.
C. Practical
The Hive is the only faction which can survive on this harsh world. Any selfish, noncooperative society has no chance. Those who live by taking from others will be doomed when the others have perished. Those who cooperate with the planetmind will be overwhelmed by it. The Hive has the only chance of survival and victory, but only if the other factions and their problematic interference are removed. Luckily our great productiveness, growth, and willingness to sacrifice ourselves for all ensure our final victory!
Anyone who hopes for the survival of humanity, who wants to avoid a second apocalypse, who believes in the greater good, should join the H.I.V.E. today!
