There is no place like Laplace, the safest place on Earth!
Come bask in the beauty of our rolling hills and sleek roads rollicking amidst marble and granite feats of architecture. Come find tranquility in the town like no other, a haven where you can take a serene sail along our restful river as it winds itself past our PGA envied golf course, our fifty-three Zen gardens, our Comeback Corner
an awe-inspiring, jaw dropping shopping district. And so much more!
of all, come experience the freeness of safety provided by Laplace
s Angel, the technological phenomenon developed by the latest and greatest in quantum physics. Laplace
s Angel utilizes micro radar, advanced MRI and X-ray (filtered for safe use), as well as atomic and molecular tracking to predict well ahead of time dangerous and terrorizing events in order to prevent them. With their large, round eyes
able to see into the darkest of places
our angelic satellites are shaped like owls and can be seen oM
n every light pole and in every public establishment. The data they record is transmitted to the Mega Quantum Computer located
Dave tossed the brochure back to Henry, sliding it along the smooth bar. It came to a stop against a rocks glass half filled with whiskey. Henry picked it up.
Did you see how much it costs to move here now?
Dave said, staring down at his cranberry juice, rotating the glass and wishing it were mixed with vodka.
three million dollars, my friend. Wow. It was less than a million when I came.
Henry took a sip and crunched on a cube of ice.
Did you see your bio? It
said Dave with squinted eyes.

Henry tossed the brochure back to Dave.
s face contorted as he flipped to the bio section where one could be introduced to nine government M
officials and staff members via headshot and short blurb. Dave
s picture was last.

Dave said, shaking his head, referring to his shrewd boss who was overall in charge of the security of Laplace.
t respond but merely sat there with a focused, determined stare. Henry, a tall man of at least sixty years of age (and the most powerful man in the field of pharmaceuticals), peered at his drinking buddy
You want to try my newest? It
s probably my best yet. But it
s expensive and only available to Laplace citizens. I
What, the Chuckler? No thanks.
Do you always have to nickname my pharmaceuticals?
re a funny guy, Dave. Hey, you
re going to try again today, aren
s a rhetorical question,
The only days you don
t drink are days you try. Plus, you have that look, you know, the sqM
uinted eyes and absent mind.
Henry scratched his chin.
re going to try today. You
re on sixteen, right?
ve been arrested sixteen times.
Dave said, trying to send his mind somewhere else.
Nineteen? Whoa. Only one more shot. One single, final attempt. Just one. Well, that explains the brochure. DERT is slipping away, my friend.
said Dave in a sudden, unexpected outburst.
re trying to ruin this for me, I know it. YM
re an evil man. Talk about something else, will you?
Dave looked up at the shiny, polished, stainless steel owl hanging from the ceiling in the corner beside a speaker, its large eyes covered in small LED lights of red, green and yellow. None of them blinked and Dave sighed in relief.
The bartender, a large man with a disproportionately high-pitched voice, heard Dave
s outburst and strutted over.
the bartender said before he stopped, his smile fading, staring at Dave who wM
as staring at the owl.
s nothing wrong with it, is there?
s working fine, Rick,
Rick said, placing his chubby hand against the bar and leaning.
t believe how much money I lost the last time that thing went down. Now, don
m really grateful you came and fixed it so quickly, but it took days before my customers returned. One lady told me she couldn
t feel safe. You wanna know M
why? Because she couldn
t be sure terrorists weren
t hiding in the stalls of the lady
ve read the brochure. We have the best quantum engineer money can buy right here. Quantaco Industries only takes the best.
He patted Dave on the back.
Nope, nothing to worry about.
Hey Dave, your bio was shorter and different. I thought your contract was up in five years. Did you sign another one?
Dave said, low browed, emphasizing every syllable.
I mean, as much as you hate this place, I couldn
t imagine you signing on for more. Though, I have no idea why you hate it here. Everyone is so easy going and smiling all the time.
Rick smiled and then squealed,
Dave shifted on his bar stool, attempting to shake off the chronic agitation. He took a deep breath and looked up at the owl to assure the LED dotted eyes were still M
You want another cranberry juice, Dave?
said Rick with a high pitch chuckle.
Just yell if you need something.
Henry sipped from his glass, and then said,
Hey, I forgot to ask, how
s meditation working out for you?
ve meditated so much this past month, my ass is sore. Seriously.
With a chuckle Henry said,
t you sit on your bed or couch?
The book said the floor, so I sit on the floor,
ve said matter-of-factly, words creeping out in a concentrated monotone.
Well, other than that, is it working? You able to control your emotions better?
Henry paused, staring at Dave with a sly smile.
s his birthday today, you know.
t give me that. Gilbrithe
s, of course. Everybody knows, and everybody
s going to be there.
Dave squeezed his eyes shut, concentrating.
m playing golf at three, so the party is M
being pushed back a couple hours.
Yeah, I heard. Huh, scheduling the party around your golf game.
Dave shook his head.
Why would they do that?
Walked right into that one,
Dave said. This was not the first time Henry had answered a question with,
So, you going to the party?
Dave was about to answer when a single yellow LED on the left eye of the owl-shaped satellite blinked. Dave caught it in the corM
ner of his eye. He stiffened.
Damn, he said to himself. No, no, no
Okay, breathe, clear your mind, relax.
Just then a table behind him suddenly roared into machine gun bursts of obnoxious chuckling. Electric shock raced through Dave and his eyes shot open. He squeezed his glass of cranberry juice and gritted his teeth. Two yellow LED
s on the owl blinked, one on each eye.
Dave stood up and said to Henry,
I gotta get out of here. Tell Rick I
ll get him tomorrow.
After leaving the pub,M
Dave walked down the polished hardwood sidewalk tracing alongside marble and granite shops. He meditatively paced his breathing as he filtered through Laplace pedestrians
an extremely fashionable populace, to say the least. All were designed by designer labels, all trimmed to the newest fads (setting the newest fads!), all sculpted to plastic perfection by plastic surgery, botox
ve lost circulation to their brains. All chuckling. And, of course, all terribly irritating to no fluff Dave.
the pub, Henry had read Dave
s body language correctly; his final attempt to win the wager was in fact on the agenda, and Dave felt more pressure this time than all the times before. He had invested so much time, planning, work and meditation into this attempt. He constructed a primary plan, a contingency plan, and a contingency plan B. He couldn
t fail this time or he would be doomed to sign another contract for another six years (on top of his current six year contract) in the Quantaco Industries post of LapM
lace, the fakest place on Earth.
No, he absolutely could not fail. He had to win.
Winning earned him an immediate (immediate within reason, of course) transfer to Dixon Environmental Research Terminal
a Quantaco Industries post that proved terribly difficult for quantum engineers to get into. The few positions available were usually filled internally; meaning, an engineer transferred in from some other post.
And thus, the reason for Dave
s utterly miserable presence in Laplace.
Marching across a small arching bridge, over the Restful River, Dave decided to stop at one of the fifty-three Zen gardens to meditate. This particular garden was squeezed between two shops, once probably a shop itself before the front walls were knocked out.
The walls were painted with a Garden of Eden theme; leaf covered Adam and Eve held hands on the back wall and a serpent, winding through overhead branches on the ceiling, smiled at the metallic owl in the corner. The ground was padded with velvety artiM
no chiggers or prickly stickers to cause discomfort.
Dave sat down to meditate beneath a Styrofoam tree.
Seated with his feet atop his knees, a painful position for him, his thoughts drifted to the
that brought him to this garden beside this splinter-free tree. A single passionate distraction, one almost as effective as drinking, that enabled Dave to make it through his first year in plastic-laden Laplace.
Now, Dave believed from the beginning that the principle of Laplace
s Angel was flawed. And he yearned to prove it. This foundational principle, to put it technically, stated that an unbroken chain of events (past and present) determines the future, making it predictable. Thus, rendering free will an illusion.
And, as with so many other things in Dave
s no fluff mathematical existence, this claim irritated him to no end.
And so, like Newton locked away in his room utterly enchanted with exploring the universe, Dave distracted himself with philosophizing over Laplace
However, he never dreamed it could possibly get him into DERT sooner.
One day while eating an apple beneath a thermoplastic tree near work, he discovered the heavily sought after fallacy. Excitement flared up within him. He told Henry first, who simply snickered at him. He told Rick next, but after a long expressive explication, Rick
s only response was,
Dave, my friend, you slurred twenty-seven times during all that. I
m gonna have to cut you off.
Gilbrithe, his shrewd boss, was theM
only one who appeared interested. He actually listened and tried to understand Dave. However, he didn
t agree with him. And so a longstanding philosophical debate sprouted, a display of no fluff quintessential manly stubbornness and pride. Dave loved it.
Gilbrithe said, sitting in his office across from Dave, reddened by what could have been the twentieth casual round of debate spread out over a month
s end this, now. I want you to prove it.
No, not just in theory.
Gilbrithe leaned forward.
Beat the machine. And you know what? If you can do that, I
ll give you your transfer.
ll, what? Yeah, sure, okay. Um
t tamper with it. In fact, if there
s anything wrong with the machine
ll have in-depth diagnostics performed on it
you lose. Do you understand?
ll give you twenty attempts, each marked by an arrest. By the twentieth arrest, yM
You must stay here for another six years after your current contract is up.
A dog yapped from the sidewalk as Dave sat peacefully beneath his tree in the Garden of Eden searching for a pinch of enlightenment.
Without opening his eyes he knew by the sound that it was one of those silly, shaved, stick figure, cotton shish-kabob poodles. They were everywhere in Laplace and Dave hated those things.
ened his eyes, peacefulness still intact despite the big poodle. He stood up and trekked out of the garden and onto the sidewalk.
s time, Dave thought.
He proceeded to follow the lady and her big poodle down the polished hardwood sidewalk. He focused intently on the animal. He forced himself to love the dog and yearn to pet it, for he needed the owl to pick up on his amiable intention and not his deeper, truer intention. If he could build the actual emotion of affection, he figured the owl would sense that M
He imagined the big poodle saving a child from a burning building; he imagined it walking on its hind legs and doing flips; he imagined it retrieving a beer for its master.
He truly felt like petting it now.
Just then the nearest owl flashed a couple red LED
Dave suddenly glanced down and spotted a stone and proceeded to run at it, his eyes focused. Reaching the stone, he kicked it, causing it to scurry towards the dog. It struck the dog
s back right paw. A scM
reeching sound emanated from the big poodle like a siren
as it jumped into the air.
The gray-haired female owner, decked out in sparkly apparel, turned and yelled,
Oh dear me! Cynthia-sue, are you all right!
The woman looked up at Dave who said he was sorry and presented her with a slight bow. At first she scowled at Dave as if about to breathe fatal elitist fire on him. But then her face surprisingly relaxed, and a whimsical smile formed.
She chuckled and went on her way.
s peripheral vision, he noticed red rapidly flashing lights. It was a nearby owl with its own fiery scowl bearing down on Dave. But this scowl, he knew, would not fade into a chuckle. And so Dave merely folded his arms, leaned back against the marble building, and waited.
Within seconds a Safety Officer
a man in black shorts and a bright red short-sleeved, button-up shirt
raced out of a shop two doors down from where Dave leaned, studying a rectangular hand-held device called a mobile monitor. Dave knM
ew this device was leading the Safety Officer to him.
Upon reaching Dave, the officer placed his hand on his shoulder and said,
All right, Dave, you know the drill. Let
Dave said and allowed himself to be escorted to jail for the twentieth time.
A guard guided Dave into a room with which he was all too familiar, a room with a sign above the entrance that read,
Tank for Minor Imminent Offenses.
Once Dave was in the room, the door mechanically slid shut from both M
ends like a lightweight, speedier elevator door. He grabbed Dostoevsky
s Notes from the Underground from the bookcase, happy to see that his bookmark (a wrinkled, thinning piece of paper with his own no fluff poem titled Wrestling with Gods scrawled on it) remained in place. He then proceeded to his favorite reclining chair situated directly below a Kandinsky original. There were three other inmates in the tank with Dave, two adolescents and one older gentleman.
the older gentlemen asked DaveM
s Johnny over there, and the napping one over there on the sofa
asked Johnny, a boy of about eighteen with spiked hair wearing mascara and eyeliner.
Before Dave had a chance to answer, Charles said,
t been to see the Clarifier, yet, Johnny.
I kicked a rock and hit a big poodle,
said Dave with mathematical precision.
What, did the guard who arrested yoM
u tell you were going to do that?
t trust those jackasses. They usually don
re arresting someone, and even if they do, they won
re just puppets to those stupid boxes in their hands.
Dave shook his head,
I know for a fact that
re on the wrong block.
Charles leaned forward.
s what you were going to do, you should be in the Tank for Premeditated Offenses sitting on recycleM
It was premeditated, yes, but you
re not listening to me. I said I kicked a rock and hit a big poodle. The suffix
denotes past tense.
Dave took a deep breath.
Charles asked, a bit of a dazed look on his face.
Yes, it was intentional.
Charles paused. He then chuckled and said,
s impossible. They assured me that was impossible.
Dave leaned forward and said,
Why are you here, Charles?
In about thirty minutes or so I wasM
going to get into a tussle with a young lady and she slaps me at some point. Or, at least, that
s what they told me, in so many words. Also, since she has little ones, they arrested me, which I don
t mind. I would rather be here than getting slapped. You know?
Do you truly believe all this would have transpired? I mean, really?
Dave asked, placing his book on the crystal side table.
Cause and effect, right? It makes sense. I did the researchM
well before I forked out the money to come to this wonderful town. The future is dictated solely by the past and present. I mean, it
s the cornerstone of science, right?
Let me ask you this, Charles. Why couldn
t they just tell you the prediction instead of arresting you? Could you change the future outcome if you knew the prediction? Meaning, could you have avoided the argument with the lady, altogether?
t know, maybe. What are you trying to say?
Okay, think about this. M
Almost a year ago, I was working on a transmission error between a satellite owl and a mobile monitor. After repairing it, an experiment occurred to me. I programmed it to predict my future action at 3:30pm, which was five minutes away. It first said that I would pack up my tools. So, I started packing up my tools right then at 3:25. The monitor did a funny thing. It went white all over and then gave a new prediction, saying I would walk past Scintillating Sasha clothing store. Of course, I decided not to walk thatM
direction. So, you know, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. The machine and I went back and forth like this until right up to 3:30 when the monitor flashed,
Error: Paradox of Idiopathic Origin.
Dave paused for effect.
So, what do you make of that, Charles? Is this whole thing based on cause and effect like science? Or, is it knowledge? Does it not sound like a bit of a chess match where the one who predicts with the most precision wins?
Charles said, no longer chuckling.
What are you trying to say exactly? I mean, I paid millions of dollars to be here, and now you, apparently an engineer, are telling me that Laplace
work like they said.
Dave looked from Charles to Johnny, whose eyes were wide and lips stretched into a mischievous smirk. Chuck was even sitting up now.
And so no nonsense Dave did the math.
This could be bad, Dave thought. If Charles and/or this punk kid spread the news of this and cause numerous citizens to leave LaplaceM
, Quantaco Industries might very well become upset with me. Even fire me! Henry and Rick are trustworthy, yes, but I don
t know these people. Though, what are the odds they will be able to recall the argument enough to persuade others? Damn, it doesn
t matter. Okay, take it back!
s time for Clarification.
Clarification? Hold on! Give me a second.
Dave turned his attention back to the three inmates and, in rapid speech, began,
Look, that was a lonM
g time ago. It was all a matter of lambda waves and entropy, you see. Disorder entered the system momentarily, but it was just noise, easily fixed. Don
s all deterministic, just one big spring shooting outward since the Big Bang. We can
t do anything about it. We can
s causality! Space, time, motion, energy, mass, acceleration, momentum, velocity. There is a huge wall there that we can
t penetrate no matter how hard we beat our heads against it. Don
t you see? But! The maM
chine that we invented and created can. Remember that! It was just a temporary glitch. The machine knows! It keeps us safe and secure. It makes us free, free from fear. Those owls up there, they
re never wrong. Trust me, it
Dave took a breath. Charles stared at him with a confounded expression. Johnny
Silence permeated the cell.
Then, Charles said with a newfound look of confidence,
Ah, I see. Okay. So, you
re certain about that?
Without hesitation, Dave M
m as certain as twice two makes four.
The Clarification room was a cozy little den. Flames flittered in a corner fireplace. Lit candles and flowers speckled the room in various vases and holders, and the smell was of strong, nose-stinging potpourri. A cherry wood dining room table sat in the middle with padded, silk upholstered chairs.
Dave, sitting across from a man and a woman, snacked on cookies and celery from a tray on the table.
Today of all days, huh Dave?
s probation officer, Hillary, asked, a cone-shaped hat on her head that read,
Dave said, provoking Hillary to remove it.
Dave, this is William. I know you
ve seen him around, but probably never been introduced. He
William was a young looking man
tall and lanky, dark haired. The arms of his sweater were tied around his chest with the rest of it sloped across his back like a cape.
William said, still wearinM
g the birthday hat while studying Dave
You are charged with manifesting a premeditated event. Interesting. Okay, it says here this is your twentieth arrest.
He whistled his amazement and turned the page.
Um, hmmm, you spend most of your time either at the pub down the street, meditating on the floor with a sense of chronic buttocks pain, or throwing a ball against the outside of your loft in deep thought about many subjects. Whoa, wow! You
re able to hit the same spot every time.
t hit the broad side of a building.
He looked back down at the file.
Very good, very good. Okay, yeah, um, here we go. As we all know, you
re the guru of Laplace
s Angel. So, I suppose the question we need to answer is pretty clear.
Did you tamper with it so that you could hurt that big poodle this afternoon?
William glanced down at a mobile monitor.
re telling the truth; that you
ve been working on the fire alarM
m system this last month. Oh, and also the security alert system. Okay. I
re being honest. That makes things so much easier.
So, did you mean to hit the big poodle?
Okay, I see. Then the charge is correct. That isn
t good. This is a first. Well, do you not like dogs?
I love dogs. I love animals in general.
So, why hurt Cynthia-sue?
Well, it mostly has to do with DERT. It
Hillary shifted in her chair and said,
So, what happened, Dave?
I need to speak to Gilbrithe,
s his birthday today, as I
m sure you well know. He
s on a tight schedule. Almost everyone is here already. It
What I have to say is extremely important.
you can see him tomorrow.
s very important. You don
William said with a carefree wave of his hand.
Dave exclaimed with unexpected volume.
t you see? I manifested a premeditated event! I
ve proven the machine isn
t what we thought it was. Now, if you don
t let me see him, all hell could break loose!
t know. Mrs. So-and-So could get angry with Mrs. Yo-Yo and kick her, or something. And you know how fast gossip spreads around here. IfM
citizens doubt the machine, tons of money could be lost. I really need to talk to Gilbrithe!
William and Hillary looked at each other and then William looked down at his watch.
s good to be on the safe side. I
m sure a small meeting with Mr. Gilbrithe won
t be such a big deal.
A few minutes after William and Hillary left the room, Joe, the Chief Safety Officer, entered
a stocky man with a square, chiseled face, a buzz cut, and wrinkles adorningM
his eyes like military achievement medals.
Dave, Dave, Dave, you just can
t help yourself, can you? I woke up this morning
and you can ask my wife, if you don
I told her that I bet Dave gives us trouble today.
Dave responded with a no nonsense nod.
Yeah, and just to think, if I could predict it, why couldn
s a good point, Joe. You ought to ponder that some more when you get the time.
Ponder? I try to stay away from doing stuff likM
e that. Pondering and policing don
t go well together. But, come on, let
s get you to Mr. Gilbrithe
s office. We both know how punctual he tries to be.
I know the way, Joe. I
m sure you have better things to do.
Yeah, I do, but this little contraption of yours is ordering me to escort you,
Joe said, looking down at his mobile monitor.
Dave peered up at the owl in the corner of the Clarification room and thought, What do you foresee? You know something. Very well, then. Let the chess game cM
s office was located on the thirty-first floor of the Central Federal Facility, many stories above the Engineering floor and Public Safety floor. Joe and Dave entered from the east door via a long, rectangular administrative office containing a series of three desks with three attractive female secretaries.
The office smelled like morning forest. All the furniture was constructed of mahogany, the chairs plush and leather. On a corner table, a humidifier motored. InM
the other three corners stood tall fichus trees, one of which extended up to the ceiling, slightly camouflaging the silver owl. A portrait portraying a tropical scene hung beside the west door, which led into a large conference room.
Joe, did the mobile monitor tell you why you were supposed to escort me?
Dave slyly asked, breaking the silence.
Joe said, standing between the east door and a fire alarm button.
you coming down for cake after this?
Gilbrithe, a plump jolly looking man, entered the office from the east door carrying a file.
he said, slapping Joe on the shoulder.
he began with a sigh and a slide into his plush chair, reading the file in one hand and smoothing his gray hair with the other.
You did something a little different today, Dave. It says here that you
manifested a premeditated offense on a bigM
Gilbrithe paused, maintaining a downward gaze.
Dave said matter-of-factly.
What? Is that why you so desperately wanted to see me?
Yes. I should have gotten arrested before I struck the big poodle. But I wasn
t, and I committed the act.
Shaking his head, Gilbrithe said,
No. You kicked a dog, Dave.
No, I kicked a rock into a dog, Tom.
Dave asked, his voice a bit raised.

Concerned? Are you serious? If it didn
t care, why did it have me arrested after the fact?
Gilbrithe paused to ponder this question.
t know. Maybe because of the distress you caused the owner.
Oh, come on, Tom! That
s ridiculous. I beat the machine and that
ll tell you what, I won
t count this arrest because it
s in the gray area. You
re still at nineteen. I think that
Dave glanced over at Joe and then up at the owl behind the fichus.
s here, Dave thought. You knew something more would happen. Very well then.
Dave said and then closed his eyes and concentrated on his breathing.
Gilbrithe said, shutting the file.
Okay, relax, free your mind, Dave thought. It
s time. Everything is set up. I can do this. Calm down.
Once he was clear-headed, he stood and turned to his left and focused on the fire alarm button encased iM
n glass next to Joe. After he took one step, Joe
s mobile monitor beeped and Joe looked down.
Joe mumbled, and then slid one step to his left, placing himself between Dave and the fire alarm on the east wall.
Dammit! Nice move. Okay, Think!
Joe, will you please move?
Looking back down at his monitor, Joe said,
Dave looked at Gilbrithe and then spotted a heavy, dense, polished sM
tone paperweight on the desk. His mathematical no fluff mind jostled through future scenarios, piecing together a puzzle of his own design. Then, like a slot machine hitting the jackpot, a future chain of events struck Dave
s consciousness, a series of deadly chess moves.
Dave walked towards Gilbrithe and slowly and carefully picked up the stone, his mind half in his imaginary future and half in the present.
What are you doing with that?
Dave then turned towards Joe and allowed his anger to return from its repressive basement. He needed his anger to flare up and he needed the owl to see it.
He imagined Joe smashing the windows to his loft, sleeping with his High School girlfriend, kicking his grandmother. His anger grew. Then, he simply remembered the truth: Joe stood between Dave and DERT.
s right hand reared back, stone in tight, white-knuckled grip, his face red.
You better tell him to move, Dave thought. I
m going to throw it.
Whoa, Dave what are you doing?
Joe asked, raising his hands to chest level.
I need you to move, Joe. I really need you to move. You don
t know how much I need you to move. And this rock smashing your nose will do just that.
Gilbrithe pleaded, his hand stretched out towards Dave.
We can work something out here.
Joe looked down at his monitor, again.
Dave thought of all he hated about Laplace and loved about DERT. He raised his arm, his rM
ed eyes set on Joe.
There was a brief silence.
Then, just as Dave suddenly brought his arm rapidly forward to propel the rock, Joe
s mobile monitor beeped. Joe heard the beep and saw Dave
s release and then gracefully leapt out of the way. The stone, continuing its course, collided violently with the fire alarm button, emitting a loud crashing sound of shattered glass. An alarm sounded. The eyes of the owl in the corner blinked furiously amidst the fichus foliage.
Dave said aloud to M
the owl as he dashed to the west door opposite Joe, who was still on the floor. The west door, due to the alarm system, was already closing when Dave sprinted through.
Dave listened with a feeling of grand achievement to his handiwork, an alarm consisting of a soothing female voice saying,
This is a security alert. There has been a breach. Please remain where you are,
and then a male voice, with a rough tone, exclaiming,
followed by four loud DONGS.
Dave, now within the conference roM
om, hit a button on his watch to start a timer and pressed his ear to the door. He heard a few taps from the other side.
s muffled voice said,
Go that way. All rooms lead to the main hallway. Find him.
Just a few more seconds, Dave thought, staring down at his watch. Stay put, Tom, stay put.
The alarm continued,
has been a breach. Please remain where you are. FIRE, FIRE FIRE! DONG! DONG! DONG! DONG! This is a security
Then, the west door slid open and Dave wM
alked back into the office. He turned around to witness the west door slide shut behind him, then the east door in front of him. Dave and Gilbrithe were now encaged in the office alone.
What the hell is going on, Dave?
How can you say that? It looks like you
t be long before you
re arrested. And, let me add, for the twentieth time. I
m not letting this one go!
Who do you think is controlling the doors right now, Tom?
Dave looked at his watch and strolled confidently to the east door.
m sorry to have done this on your birthday, but what other day would every Safety Officer in Laplace be in the building at the same time?
t get out of here without being arrested.
Tom, all the doors in the building are locked shut by the security system programmed to contain a criminal. Only certain doors at certain times will momentarily open, and none of them are near the auditorium where M
everyone is. Once one opens
and only one will do so at any given time
I will be there to walk through it. Then, the next one will open. Do you see? It
s like a serpentine domino effect that only I know. Well, I take that back, the machine will also know, but what can it do about it? No one can follow me and no one else will be able to leave the building. Don
ve tied the wrists of the machine. I can walk out and commit any crime I wish. No Safety Officer will be able to leave the party to arreM
st me. Tom, I can put the town in utter uproar. You understand?
Gilbrithe paused, glaring at Dave. Then his face calmed and a slight smile tugged at the corners of his mouth. He dropped his gaze on Dave and shook his head as one does when one gives up. The east door opened and Dave stepped through.
Hey, how long are we trapped in here?
A couple hours? Now, come on Dave, was that really necessary?
no fluff chuckle and shrug, Dave said,
Then the door shut.
Dave turned and speedily walked past three gawking secretaries to his next assigned door. It opened right on time.
Traversing through each doorway, he either walked or ran depending upon the distance to the next, always thinking a few moves ahead. The machine couldn

FIRE, FIRE FIRE! DONG! DONG! DONG! DONG! This is a security
Exiting the stairwell into a tenth floor hallway, he encounteM
red a young Safety Officer wearing a cone-shaped birthday hat and very much in a state of confusion. He stood still when the alarm told him to remain where he is, but then scrambled in frenzy to the closest door when the alarm yelled,
Then he stood still again when told to do so. And, all the while, he continued to glance down at his mobile monitor for instruction.
Dave came to a stop, his mouth agape.

Dave, thank God! What
the officer asked.
All the doors are locked and this thing is going crazy, blinking and beeping, telling me to arrest you when it should be telling me to find you so you can fix things, and those voices and noises are driving me crazy! The whole place has gone loony!
Dave said as he walked to his next door.

As Dave neared the final door leading to the front of the building his thoughts were well ahead of his body, already tracing his steps to his favorite pub to sit on his favorite stool and have Rick pour his favorite no fluff gin and tonic.
However, when he opened that last door and walked out into a star-filled sky and stood face-to-face with the full mooM
n, his mind returned to the now. He stood still. The air was calm and thick with the scent of a new season.
He turned around just as the door shut. His head tilted to the side.
Turning back around, he closed his eyes and imagined the drive to Dixon Environmental Research Terminal. A grin graced his face as he could almost smell the pine. He envisioned a grand mountain range, the bright moon hanging to the north sprinkling down its sheen and illuminating the numerous rippled peaks before bending to shadowy troughM
s, the night dimming the array of colors provided by day, a blanket of gray presenting an appearance of a sculpture, ancient and majestic.
Dave breathed in the moment and then peacefully looked up at a near-by machine. He whispered a single, victorious word:
a familiar voice called out from the shadows.
Dave looked in the direction of the sound and saw Henry sitting on a golden bench adjacent a Zen garden, a bag lying next to him.
Dave exclaimed with electrM
icity in his voice as he frolicked
in a bit of a fluffy manner
I did it. I won. Finally!
m excited for you. You
re on your way to DERT, huh?
Yeah, I am. Maybe not right away. I
ll have to wait for my replacement and then I
ll have to train him. But, no bother! I
m a short timer, now!

Henry reached into his bag and produced a first class ticket to Colorado. Dave
You know what it is.
s going on? How did you
s been fun drinking with you this past year and witnessing your little adventure. I think you
ve earned your transfer, at least, in my eyes.
Henry said, reaching into his bag again and pulling out a mobile monitor,
What are you doing with that?
d be here right now. It said you would do everything you did tonight. M
By the way, the way you confused Charles, Johnny and Chuck in the holding tank was quite humorous. You were so disheveled. You
re a funny guy, Dave.
but the other monitors, all the owls
What about them? They played along, so to speak. I thought it was time for you to win your wager
it being your last attempt and all
s not get into semantics, eh?
How did you do this?
Henry asked with a sly smile.
With wide eyes, Dave said,
re a demon, I swear it.
d probably be stuck here for another eleven years if I hadn
t stepped in. I think it
s time to celebrate, don
Dave said, his face in a dead stare at the ground.
As they commenced their trot away from the boxed up building to Rick
You better drink something a bit more potent than cranberry juLfice.

Within a wintry Michigan valley
I lie atop the earth, beneath the wind
The ground is cold, hard, brown and bumpy
the ground is rough and unforgiving
Transmission towers scattered throughout
basking in lunar bath
Across searing tower pinnacles
race power lines, lines of power
outward and inward
sideways and backward
weaving a web-like netting
me from the heavens, the heavens from me
Am I but a stone in those heavens
coursing through ordained orbit?
Is my folly solely my wiring
like the netting above?
Are my ethics and defects simply
the laws of effects following cause?
You, Old Men, fathers of things held dear
cast aside for a time
your airy immortality
and sit before the vanity, for your
eternal makeup to flow down
Your blistering eye of discovery
falls gently upon proper things
but heavy upon me, heavy upon itself
Know my path when my path knows me
Predict me, oh fathers, and you
morph my freedom to myth
But beware I predict you your prediction of me
And whip you with your own tail.
Is my threat but a jest
sowing the scoff before the laugh?
Or do I posit argument
a paradox for your pondering?
Regardless your answer
I reject your paternal pandering
nurture my nature against it, as my
youthful rebellion has fully
I shall reach out and rend the soft-scented sun
beyond the reach of your prophecy
bottle its heavenly arms in my breast
near my core
await the waking of the night
and upon twilit dreams
fade the causal throng
Did my syllogism satisfy?
Unto whom must satisfaction fall?
The sun rising from beneath the horizon
whispers subtle reply
My face once constricted and contorted
brow unburdening the eye.
My hand seeks a stick to my left
My thumb secures itself along a knotted portion
I tap with a low-pitch ting
And thus my judgment
I close my eyes to listen
to the pebble into the pond,
the epicenter with its ripples
smoothly expanding out.
I breathe in the brisk morning air.
I feed on the edge of an echo.
The remainder of this day
Until tomorrow morning

Proportion in Philosophy
Part I: Thales to Plato
The long, stuttering conversation of philosophy renders little hope to the starry-eyed student of its history, that student who wishes to excavate a thread of progress. Picking with the axe of a sweat-drenched mind, the student cracks and chips away in the near hopeless attempt of coming out the other side of a dense block of books having learned something of humanity
s blossoming, some burgeoning of philosophical trutM
h passed down the generations. But this is not the story of philosophy. It is not the snowball-gathering of knowledge along a fated path. The story of philosophy is one of plurality, views clashing with damning refutations and incompatibilities, leaving one unable to say whether we have come a long way or have merely gone about for centuries chasing the wind. If an ember of lasting truth is found amid the tomes, it must be held lightly in hand in the constant realization that the pages of another will someday cM
ome along, and in a Heraclitean flash demonstrate that all things comes-to-be just to pass-away.
The coming-to-be of the flux is the journey, the creative constant, the undulation of the breathing body. Alive, a beauty to invoke enchantment. So let my sympathetic pessimism end here. Let me step into this disjointed river of philosophic discussion and, in a sort of aphoristic dance, find a frayed thread, and with it held lightly in hand see if I can unravel something of interest. If I fail, I will take solacM
in this fluff of words and plethora of analogies
and move on with a smile. But now let me be clear so as not to be misunderstood in my purpose. In the numbered spurts of this work, I will attempt to wade through and amongst a few main players in the history of philosophy with the hope of teasing out my thread. The players of Part I shall be of the ancient class: Thales, Pythagoras, Heraclitus, and Plato. (Aristotle will be mentioned in the concluding remarks, as he will lead us into Part II).M
In Part II, I shall move two thousand years into the future to Descartes, Hume, Kant, and Nietzsche. My purpose is to emphasize and explicate the great significance of proportion. This will be a history, but in my historicizing I am posing an argument, namely, that the emphasis of this soon to be demonstrated thread
is worthy of the pedestal upon which I raise it. In reading this history, it may be best to look upon the beginning through the lens of the end. This is to say, hindsight presents tM
he clearest view, a panoramic that may (or may not) clarify particular ambiguities.
The mysterious in-between is proportion. Proportion is a comparative relation of things, both sensible and ideational. In Greek it is analogia and from this we get our word analogy. Analogies reveal the in-between that can be taken from one pair and applied to another. A is to B, and this is-to is the same is-to between C and D. But modify one
s angle of seeing the concept of proportion and one can see that it also serveM
s as that which allows generalization. All chairs share an in-between
that allows one to recognize a particular chair that looks exactly like no other chair one has ever seen. From this proportionality comes, within the mind, a unity. As to the chair
s attributes it might be utterly original, but the unity encapsulated within the word affords the recognition. This proportioning out a unity is the reduction of the many into one. This reduction that generates generalizations of sensible objecM
ts is also the method utilized in the creation of abstract concepts. By an identical way of gathering particulars and plastering them onto the canvas of the imagination, proportion is teased out as the common thread that ties the plurality together. The abstract concept becomes a word, and that word serves as a symbol for the extracted proportion between the particulars. For example, experiences A, B, C, D (and so on) may be grouped by a commonality that one may call experiences of love, despair, or epiphany.
Through the following history, it is my hope that what has been said here becomes clear. And so, on to the first philosopher.
Greek philosophy seems to begin with an absurd notion, with the proposition that water is the primal origin and the womb of all things
(Nietzsche 2003, p. 38). With Thales we have the wellspring of
With what magical method did he arrive at such a magnificent proclamation? Gazing out upon clouds, mountains, oceans, and animals, where did such an idea M
arise? What alchemy was employed, what chisel utilized? Upon what lofty viewpoint did Thales stand to see all as one, a singly unity hidden within the many?
Creative premonition will show the place; imagination guesses from afar that here it will find demonstrable resting place. But the special strength of imagination is its lightning-quick seizure and illumination of analogies
(Nietzsche 2003, p. 40). As the seas under the ship, as the blood beneath the skin, moisture is seen as the ground below the groM
und. The instances where moisture is taken to dominate earth and air are instances expanded by analogy unto all there is. Thales perceived a certain common ground amongst particulars, a thread throughout. From this thread, he weaves a sheet to spread out and blanket the cosmos. From his observed relation of things to water, he takes this relation, this proportion, and makes it the in-between and the inside and the underneath of everything, a universal link and foundation. Here we find the use of qualitative prM
Qualitative proportion takes as its subject anything that is not a quantity. This is to say, it should be defined by juxtaposition to its opposite, namely, quantitative proportion. Quantitative proportion must be classed separately for no reason greater than its powerfully fixed precision.
The fixed precision of quantitative proportion (in relation to the less rigid qualitative proportion) holds the key to understanding not only Plato
s adherence to proportionality, but also the great rise of sM
cience in the modern era. Therefore, let this willfully jutting-out aphorism be seen as significant, and let it be placed safely in one
s pocket for future recollection.
Quantitative proportion:
The quantitative comparison of two magnitudes constitutes a ratio (e.g., 1:2), while the proportion is the equality of ratios between two pairs of quantities (e.g., 1:2=2:4). There must be at least three magnitudes in a true proportion
two extremes and a middle term, usually called the
(Wittkower 1960, pM
To lay hold of the difference in precision between qualitative and quantitative proportion, one merely needs to give the fourth term in these two analogies:
1) Tree is to Ground as Woman is to
2) 2 is to 4 as 10 is to
The missing analogue in the latter, at least upon first glance, is 20. The analogue in the former, however, is far less obvious, and more vulnerable to a plurality of fitting answers, and thus less precise.
The superimposition of the quantitative upon the qualitative will servM
e as a new chapter of humanity that will be like no other: the rise of modern science. But enough jutting-out. Let us not jump ahead in this history and forsake the sequence.
If the Age of Enlightenment cast backward a foreshadow it would fall coolly on the shoulders of Pythagoras.
With Pythagoras and his school began the era of the mathematical approach to nature. Thus he opened the door to the specific Western view of the world. But such is the working of the human mind that, at the same time, two inteM
rpretive concepts of an entirely different character came into being, or rather acquired a new and long lease of life: number symbolism and number aesthetics. (Wittkower 1960, p. 200)
What Galileo did through will and force, Pythagoras did through a stroll and a passive listening. What the former did with manipulation and experiment, the latter did with a squinted-eyed glare. As if the Divine had spoken in musical melody, Pythagoras heard what many now call the universal language. Without twisting arms or the sM
ubtlest manipulation of its march, Nature was heard and a great movement was born. Truth, undeniable truth seemed to be presented in the structured scales of harmonic proportion. Numbers were things unseen and unchanging, able to be the foundation of a philosophy and a lifestyle. It is here that the Greek notion of the Beautiful found either its inception or its greatest defense. Between Thales
qualitative many-to-one reduction and Pythagoras
discovery of quantitative harmony, we might say we have all we M
need to move forward to, whom I would call, the Father of Proportion. But, we would be missing an important element in this history if we breezed past the problem of coming-to-be on our way to Plato. And so, let us now turn to Heraclitus.
What if there is no such thing as definition? No boundaries to pinpoint, no borders to trace? What if reality rides like a river, and attempting to say
resembles pointing at a section of water within the body of a river and giving M
it a name just to watch it disappear before the enunciation can find an ear. Reality displays itself as a bumpy continuum from which reason pleases itself by turning bumps into borders, borders into definitions, definitions into words.
You use names for things as though they rigidly, persistently endured; yet even the stream into which you step a second time is not the one you stepped into before. (Nietzsche 1962, p. 52)
The flux is what Heraclitus saw. All comes-to-be and nothing is. If it is, it is as thM
e now is, for all constantly shifts and flows. And who can capture the now before it passes into the past? It is
but as soon as you whisper it is
it is no more. Coming-to-be reveals itself as the paradoxical joining of being with not-being. If being and not-being interlock, then all that is is joined to its opposite in eternal embrace. Oppositions and enemies are inseparable, creating a raging fight through time. War reigns as the father of all coming-to-be with fire as its image. Within this burning batM
tle there affords not a word to be said, but there exists a logos to be heard. Heraclitus did not presume to posit a chaos, unless one wishes, paradoxically, to call it an orderly chaos. Divine law guides the fiery flux of existence.
From Thales came the qualitative proportion of
; from Pythagoras, the spiritual and aesthetic numerical proportionality in nature; and from Heraclitus, the divine, otherworldly logos guiding all change. From here it is not a stretch to foresee the one who will M
latch onto proportion and, with it, create a heavenly realm of unities (eidos) that do not change but underlie all that does.
From the proposition that a circle has 360 degrees is derived the truths that each angle of a square is 90 degrees and those of a triangle must add up to 180 degrees. Are these Truths, or merely truths? Would I be sinking in falsity to say that the triangle has angles summing 600 degrees? I would say that there is no more falsity in my 600-degree triangle as there is in my theatreM
as opposed to your theater. The 180 arises half from the creative minds of humans and half from proportion. The 180 is derived from the 360 of the circle. But where is this 360 derived? It is assumed that this number comes from the amount of days from one summer or winter solstice to another, the estimated amount of days in a year. Thus, this number is just as arbitrary as going to the theater as opposed to the theatre
when in fact they are the same place. The number could have very well been 1,200. HowevM
er, what is of interest is that no matter what that number is, the proportion between geometric shapes must hold true. If the circle is said to contain 1,200 degrees, then it is of necessity that the square has a set of angles each measuring 300 and the triangle
s angles must add up to 600. The in-between remains fixed, an unseen and unchanging proportion. It is an eye-popping sight that once the human mind creates symbols and pastes them smartly on objects, proportions once concealed reveal themselves. This,M
I believe is the spirit of Plato.
Many an intellectual will freely explicate a complex discourse by chattering out chains of abstract concepts, losing their listeners who have become entangled in the airy sentences.
one might exclaim with boiling-over frustration.
Do not tell us what justice is by presenting us with equally abstract synonyms, but give us examples of justice so that we may understand by virtue of the commonality between your usage and the image.
Glaucon and Adeimantus demanded of Socrates in Plato
s famous Republic. They wanted a
a sturdy example, not merely a logical stringing-together of terms un-tethered to anything familiar. In response Plato said:
re setting ourselves to is no inconsiderable thing, but for someone sharp-sighted, as it appears to me. So since we aren
the sort of inquiry for us to make about it seems to be exactly like this: if someone had ordered people who were not very sharp-M
sighted to read small print from a distance, and then it occurred to someone that maybe the same letters are also somewhere else, both bigger and on something bigger, it would plainly be a godsend, I assume, to read those first and examine the smaller ones by that means, if they were exactly the same
(Plato 2007, p. 60/368d).
And thus we have the beginning of the Polis from which the dialogue gets its name. Justice
and a sense of the Good
sought for in the soul will now be sought for in the much larger aM
nalogue of the city. I believe it is Plato
s hope that the proportions will remain true as they do between geometric shapes.
From here we may say that a city, such as Athens, goes by one name, and thus it is a unity not too unlike Thales
s water and Heraclitus
s fire. It is a many brought together into a unity. The diversity within Athens should work in a specific relational proportionality as to form and maintain the unity of
And this Plato calls justice.
And this was meant toM
make it clear about the rest of the citizens as well, that they need to bring each one to one job, the one for which he
s naturally suited, so that each of them, by pursuing the one thing that belongs to him, will become one and not many, and in that way the city as a whole will grown to be one and not many (Plato 2007, p. 116/423d).
And so goes the soul:
Now, anything good is beautiful, and nothing beautiful lacks proportion, so we are bound to expect a healthy creature to be a well-proportioned creature. BM
ut although we discern and think rationally about trivial cases of proportion, we
re incapable of reasoning when it comes to the most important and significant cases. For instance, the factor that has the most bearing on health and sickness, and on moral goodness and badness, is whether or not there
s proportion between soul and body, but we don
t consider these things at all. (Plato 2008, p. 92/87c-d)
Proportionality is the justice that binds together a city, maintains the balance, the harmony, the health,M
and of course its beauty. The soul must likewise achieve and maintain this proportionality. The charioteer of the Phaedrus must take tight the reins of the steeds
to reach the heavenly realm of eidos. But what kind of charioteer can achieve this. A well-trained one, says Plato.
Also, if proper nurture is supported by education, a person will become perfectly whole and healthy, once he has recovered from this serious of illnesses; but if he cares nothing for education, he will limp his wM
ay through life and return to Hades unfulfilled and stupid. (Plato 2008, p. 34/44c).
Education. Eidos, translated often as form, is the unity of a many, not the many, but a many. For instance, wolves have an eidos just as sheep do. Physical things are but shadows of the eidos, which is that which is most real, that which is unseen and unchanging underlying all that is experienced of the flux. Forms are the in-between, the is-to that links all shadows of wolves to the wolf in an analogous way the circle is-M
to the square is-to the triangle, a link that is unchanging regardless of what language is applied, what quantity given. The education of proportionality is what Plato seeks to inculcate. In Book III, Plato explains how those in his city should be initially educated. He begins with the proposition that the soul is imitative (Book III, 395d). Basically, as the clich
goes, we are what we eat. What the soul takes in, it becomes. As Nietzsche says:
If someone obstinately and for a long time wants to appear sM
omething it is in the end hard for him to be anything else
(Nietzsche 1996, p. 39/aphorism 51). Thus, one of the methods Plato wishes to employ is the education of Pythagoras
the proportionality of music
to instill a taste and an ear for proportion. Proportion, as the structure of the beautiful, will create between the students and proportion itself
a feeling of kinship
and attract and allure them for all their days (Plato 2007, p. 95/401d-402a). Thus, when the philosopher comes to them as they sit M
shackled in the dank cave, separated and alien to the Good warmth of the sun, the words of the philosopher will sound like familiar lullabies from childhood, a Pied Piper pleading to be followed.
Plato overflows and drips proportion. Proportion is the method, the content, the motive. Analogia is the Beautiful of which all Good partakes and presents. It lights up eidos to be perceived by the willing mind, but also, I argue, is eidos. Proportion is what Plato wishes to teach, to reveal, but also it is by PM
roportion that Plato must teach proportion. Teach us why the philosopher is useful, Adeimantus once demanded, teach us by what qualification he must rule the polis.
re asking a question
that needs an answer given by way of an image
Just listen to the image, then, so you can see even better how tenaciously I make images
(Plato 2007, p. 184/487e-488a). Among the images Socrates will make are the great analogies of the divided line, the sun, and the cave. Through analogia Socrates will teach analoM
gia, the Beautiful proportion of the Good. Look upon the sun and learn how to see it, is the teaching of Socrates. Look to learn to see. In looking you may not at first see, but continue to look, listen to the musical proportions and behold the bright sun until the ears pick-up, the eyes adjust, the palate develops. And the soul becomes.
The how-to-look from Plato did not become an idle teaching but was snatched up and utilized quickly by a great follower of his. As music is-to the young guardians, M
Plato is-to Aristotle. Plato
s proportion set Aristotle on a path of seeing the world as few have before him. In Plato, there were still remnants of a divine realm, a place of eidos and spirits. As for Aristotle, however, he took Plato
s reified Forms and saw something a bit more local: generalizations based on what is common (or essential) to the labeled group. Even beyond the Forms (and that which illuminates the Forms) Aristotle questions Plato
But then in what way is good meant? FM
or these things certainly do not seem to have the same name by chance. But do they have the same name by being derived from one thing, or by all adding up together into one thing, or rather by analogy
(Aristotle 2002, p. 8/ 1096b-20)? Aristotle seemed to understand with greater clarity the freedom with which thinkers before him dealt with the plurality of existence. One may say that thinkers before Aristotle were artists in the modern sense, creating philosophies to a greater degree on the canvas of their imaM
gination. Those before Plato looked upon the world and saw all as water, fire, air, birthed from war, products of love and strife, combinations of roots and elements, and so on. With Plato, we have a heavenly realm of eidos and a world of images unified and lighted by the Good. It is all quite artistic and aesthetically appealing. With Aristotle, however, we get categories and causes, a methodological approach that distinguishes and defines, a complex philosophy that lacks the dreamy broad strokes that often dM
isregard consistency in detail, but creates a portrait that invites one to judge it as much for its beauty as for its truth. Aristotle painted no such portrait. He converted Plato
s paintbrushes into chisels, and with an increasingly refined use of proportion, Aristotle carved joints into Nature where none had been seen before. And it is here with Aristotle
s attempts to carve with precision the categories and causes of the plurality of experience that I wish to leap ahead into the modern age, an age where tM
he categories and causes will find greater precision by being enwrapped in number; an age of the superimposition of qualitative and quantitative proportion, namely, the age of science.
Proportion in Philosophy
Part II: Descartes to Nietzsche
Who can overestimate the effect the rise of modern science has had on humanity and this planet? Only a chuckle can I give to the one who thinks one can. To recount the changes this world has undergone (for betteM
r or worse!) in a mere 400 years is staggering, like counting the stars in the sky. What is the particular power of science? Some may say it is the scientific method of hypothesis and experimentation. But could we not find examples in the ancient world where some hypothesized and experimented? Maybe this particular power finds its source in numerical measurement or prediction? But, how could such wonders as the Great Pyramid of Giza or Stonehenge be constructed without numerical measurement and the ability to M
predict the movement of the celestial bodies? It could be the discipline of strict observation and a pulling away from imaginative metaphysics. But this would only account for things that can be seen, whereas much of what science discovers cannot.
In this part, I intend to demonstrate that the combining (or superimposition) of qualitative and quantitative proportion forms the foundation of the Age of Enlightenment
s great scientific advance. As stated in Part I, I will achieve this by spotlighting proportioM
n within the texts of a few of the main philosophers of the age: Descartes, Hume, Kant, and Nietzsche.
It may be helpful now to return to Part I with a quick glance. With Thales and Heraclitus (and some other Pre-Socratics), the reduction of the many-to-one by analogy begins the story of western philosophy. It was a poetic flourishing where all of reality was encapsulated in metaphors, such as
With Pythagoras, a sort of numerical spacing evidenced itself to undergird the great art form M
of music. This discovery of the embrace between order and beauty sufficed to inspire a religious movement, as well as much of the philosophy of Plato. Plato intuitively perceived the great breadth of the concept of proportion and constructed an entire philosophy around it. But all of these discoveries and uses of proportion have one thing in common: they mostly deal solely with naming. They attempt to define and distinguish. Very few of them invite temporal elements such as motion, change, and coming-to-be. MM
ore often, however, they attempt to filter out temporality as a pesky impurity. Like a stubborn splinter, the concept of time pestered the ancient world. The wide-spread application of proportion to temporal considerations would have to wait for the modern age and its superimposition. And so, now on to Descartes and modernity.
More so than Descartes
cogito or his radical doubt, his adherence and development of method ought to be recollected. A contemporary of Gallileo, who was one of the first to dreM
ss up the processes of nature in the garb of mathematical formulae, Descartes recognized, as well as Plato, the power of number and the significance of proportion. He exhibits this in his early work, Rules for the Direction of the Mind.
There will be three steps to my explication of Descartes. The first will be his method of achieving precise knowledge worthy of science, called enumeration. Second will be the claim that when all blurry notions are stripped away from a subject, what remains is magnitude. And thM
e third is that the certainty in enumeration consists of reducing proportions to equalities. These three comprise the superimposition, and thus need to be remembered through the rest of this history.
Enumeration. Let us begin with displaying just how important this method of enumeration is:
We say here, further, that enumeration is required for the complete attainment of scientific knowledge
(Descartes 2000, p. 15/388). Enumeration, to Descartes, basically means a chain of inference that is continuous M
and lacks holes or gaps. This method may find use in both a definition of a thing, as well as giving a causal account of a thing. As his guide and analogue, Descartes considers a chain of numbers in a scale of proportion, such as the observation that
the numbers 3, 6, 12, 24, etc. form a continuous proportion
(Descartes 2000, p. 13/385). Another way of presenting this proportion is 3 is-to 6 as 6 is-to 12, and so on. But why would such an illustrious mathematical thinker tinker with such basic ideas?
hough all these things are so clear as to appear almost childish, I understand, on attentive reflection, in what way all questions are involved which can be posed about proportions or the relations of things, and in what order they should be investigated: and this alone embraces the whole of the science of pure mathematics. (Descartes 2000, p. 13/385)
Following the above statement, Descartes continues with his child play for roughly the length of a page, and does so for the sole purpose of inculcating this processM
of numerical proportion. He spends this amount of time in child play in order to burrow and engrave this process inside the reader for the purpose of breeding discernment of the deeper truth of proportion. Here it may be helpful to recall Plato
s wish to educate by means of music.
Descartes recognizes the in-between, the is-to proportionality, and claims that
in all ratiocination it is only comparison that we know the truth with precision
(Descartes 2000, p. 26/439). Comparison seeks the relations
of multiple subjects. However, knowledge is thwarted when comparisons are not clear and distinct, but blurred by interpretive ambiguity. To arrive at the greatest clarity, it might be best to stick with magnitudes, as their precision is of the highest degree.
Magnitude. When gazing upon a red silk curtain, what can we say we know of the curtain? What is red? What is silk? We have names for such things, which act as placeholders for distinctions the mind has made. It is
But, if all we have is the word based on experience, the clarity is at best blurred.
For although one thing can be called more or less white than another, or again one sound more or less acute, and so of other things, still we cannot define exactly whether this more or less is in double or triple proportion, except by a certain analogy with the extension of a figured body. (Descartes 2000, p. 27/441)
Descartes desires a more precise proportion, and analogy signifies an unclear proportion, a mere fM
eeling or sentiment of the in-between, not something useful, and definitely not scientific. All fuzzy attributes of a subject must be brushed away in a rigorous attempt to excavate the absolute structure, to bring us to a view of a thing that affords certainty.
Thus when the terms of the difficulty have been abstracted from every subject, according to the preceding rule, we understand that we have nothing further to occupy us except magnitudes in general. (Descartes, p. 26/440)
Thus, colors must be transformed inM
to frequencies and materials reduced to compositions that can be expressed in percentages, even as precise as percentages of atomic numbers. This is what satisfies Descartes
appetite for clarity, for it can raise our proportions to a state of perfection: equality.
Reducing Proportions to Equalities. The perfect analogy, the proper proportion consists in an equality between subjects, an equality that can never be affirmed when speaking of qualities. Like beauty, qualities differ ever so slightly depeM
nding on the eye that casts its judging glance. But as for quantity, the eye has no power of persuasion.
and that the principle part of human contriving consists only in reducing these proportions in such a way as to see clearly an equality between what is sought and something known.
It must be noted, further, that nothing can be reduced to this equality except what admits of more and less, and that all this is comprised under the name magnitude. (Descartes 2000, p. 26/440)
And thus, the beginning of thM
e superimposition: the act of covering over qualitative proportions
such as unities ranging from
by quantitative proportions in order to achieve a high degree of precision. Thus, we have entered the modern age of science.
Now, let us spend time reflecting on these three steps as a whole.
What this superimposition brought about was the reduction of qualities to magnitudes, which allowed a further reduction of proportions to equalities. This superimposition produced the M
unique power to describe temporal happenings in tight little equalities, called formulae (or equations). Descartes
enumeration (chain of inferences) fleshes out to encompass such enumerations as inferring causal chains of events. Inferences regarding cause and effect stand as the beginning of the wide-spread application of proportion to temporal considerations. Descartes
method of reducing proportions to equalities, which can only be achieved through magnitudes, sets the stage for such symbols of proportiM
on as E=MC2. This is to say that the proportion between mass and energy
the conversion ratio
is the square of the speed of light. It is an analogy that is an equality. Now, the measurement of speed applied within the formula adds a temporal element (speed is distance over time, such as miles per hour), and provides a way to describe causal relations in mathematical terms. Other formulae, such as Newton
s F=MA (force equals mass times acceleration), also do this. Formulae are Descartes
ns; quantities superimposed onto qualities and the proportions reduced to equations. An inherent gift of the equation is the invocation of the Law of Identity. Where we can utilize a=a as a criterion of truth, we appear to be no longer riding the river of flux, but standing firm upon stable ground. Again, the
sign is vital. We are no longer talking of
this is-to this as that is-to that,
but instead we say
Contradiction sits as the presiding judge of all propositions. M
But that is not all. This judge can also legislate. Laws of Nature form from cracks of its gavel, laws that sentence causal relations of the future to act as they did in the past.
However, when equalities cannot be achieved, Descartes recognizes that proportion is prevented from being lifted to the status of formulae, but must remain a lowly analogy, and open to interpretation.
The language of science may at times conceal the truth that all laws of nature are a species of analogy. How easy it is to forgeM
t that all formulae are perfect proportions, and all proportions are analogy. It will take David Hume to remind us of this.
Modesty and humility so often grants a sense of beauty. Our world, our universe invokes awe and deep feelings of the sublime within the mind of the one willing to become lost in its vast abyss of mysteries. Having these mysteries explained away as machinery often strips the paint from the canvas, blurs the poetry off the page, and darkens the sensitive soul. I believe there are some iM
n the history of philosophy who stood up to defend the aesthetic sentiment. Maybe I am wrong about Hume, but I wish to see him as a guardian of the mysterious unknown. His skepticism urges us not to fool ourselves into thinking we know, but just to revel in the knowledge that we feel. Keep open the curtains to the artistry of nature, base all our convictions on sentiment and brush-stroked impressions, and, of course, always remember that
s concerning matter of fact are founded on a speciM
es of ANALOGY, which leads us to expect from any cause the same events, which we have observed to result from similar causes
(Hume 1993, p. 69). For Hume, all that we can say of nature consists in matters of fact, and all matters of fact remain under the heading of causality, and all causality is a certain constant conjunction, which is produced by customary experience. When he calls causality a species of analogy, he refers to the reduction of the many-to-one in causal relations similar to the reduction of thM
e relations between chairs. For example, cause1 is-to effect1 AS cause2 is-to effect2 AS cause3 is-to effect3, and so on, even into the future. The predictive power of science is nothing more than a very sophisticated and precise power of analogy
the very same power that Thales used in order to say
Laws of nature are proportions, which we call formulae, derived from constant conjunctions of experience.
Thus, it is a law of motion, discovered by experience, that the momM
ent or force of any body in motion is in the compound ratio or proportion of its solid contents and it velocity
(Hume 1993, p. 20.). Hume does seem to attribute a degree of authority to natural laws, but he makes it clear that these so-called truths heralded by many rationalist philosophers of his day are merely probabilistic.
In those probabilities of chance and causes above-explain
tis the constancy of the union, which is diminish
d; and in the probability deriv
blance only, which is affected. Without some degree of resemblance, as well as union,
tis impossible there can be any reasoning
s: but as this resemblance admits of many different degrees, the reasoning becomes proportionably more or less firm and certain. An experiment loses of its force, when transferr
d to instances, which are not exactly resembling; tho
tis evident it may still retain as much as may be the foundation of probability, as long as there is any resemblance remaining. (Hume 1992, p. 14M
Here we can discern Descartes
reduction of proportions to equalities. Hume sets up a gradient where certainty is the goal if the resemblance is identical. Reducing resemblances to identicals is the same as the reduction of proportions to equalities. A proportion is an analogy, which deals with resemblance. Also, those things and events that are identical convey a sense of equality.
But there is nothing in a number of instances, different from every single instance, which is supposed to be exactly simiM
lar; except only, that after repetition of similar instances, the mind is carried by habit, upon the appearance of one event, to expect its usual attendant, and to believe, that it will exist. This connexion, therefore, which we feel in the mind, this customary transition of the imagination from one object to its usual attendant, is the sentiment or impression, from which we form the idea of power or necessary connexion. (Hume 1993, p. 50)
Hume saying that there is no instance exactly similar to any other is M
saying that we cannot reduce our proportions to equalities, that there will always be some degree of difference between analogues. The precision between everyday analogy and scientific formulae is a distinction not of kind, but of mere degree. In science, the resemblances are more precise, and the probability approaches closer to certainty, though never quite achieving it. Descartes would have us believe that the as can become an equals, and therefore we can call it a law and send it into the future. The equals M
sets up a possibility for contradiction and binds the relations, supposed to be identical, under the Law of Identity. The as does no such thing. Hume wishes to restore modesty, humility and mystery by reminding us that the equals is actually nothing more than an as, that there is no contradiction if future causal relations do not equal those of the past. Truth is like Zeno
s Tortoise. We can continually draw closer to it, but we can never catch it.
And so the pendulum swings once again, the revolving dooM
r of history continues its revolutions. But unlike Sisyphus
monotonous back-and-forth, this revolution will change philosophy forever. First, Hume
When it is asked, What is the nature of all our reasonings concerning matter of fact? the proper answer seems to be, that they are founded on the relation of cause and effect. When again it is asked, What is the foundation of all our reasonings and conclusions concerning that relation? it may be replied in one word, EXPERIENCE. But if we still carrM
y on our sifting humour, and ask, What is the foundation of all conclusions from experience? this implies a new question, which may be of more difficult solution and explication. Philosophers, that give themselves airs of superior wisdom and sufficiency, have a hard task, when they encounter persons of inquisitive dispositions, who push them from every corner, to which they retreat, and who are sure at last to bring them to some dangerous dilemma. (Hume 1993, p. 20).
And so, the Kantian revolution:
therefore a foundation, a priori principles of its form, that is to say, general rules of unity in the synthesis of phenomena, the objective reality of which rules, as necessary conditions
even of the possibility of experience
can always be shown in experience. (Kant 2003, p. 111)
Kant comes onto the scene desiring to explain the derivation of Hume
s many sentiments and feelings. Like a physician telling her patient that kidney stones are what he feels, Kant, the metaphysician, tells Hume that it is a geM
neral rule in his pure understanding that he feels when he predicts that a stone will fall when dropped. What Hume deems a conjunction derived from repetitious experience, Kant calls a synthesis derived from the innermost workings of the human mind, a synthesis that precedes experience and organizes it so that it can even be called experience.
Now experience depends on the synthetic unity of phenomena, that is, upon a synthesis according to conceptions of the object of phenomena in general, without which experieM
nce could never become knowledge, but would merely be a rhapsody of perceptions, never fitting together into any connected text
(Kant 2003, p. 111)
This synthesis stands as the gem of Kant
s tome. The possibility of synthetic a priori judgments sits as the cornerstone of a critique that could be said to be one of the most important works in western philosophy. To get at this gem and excavate the superimposition, I will begin with billiard balls and a piece simple arithmetic.
Hume argues that the conneM
ction of cause and effect derives from experience. Kant wishes to refute this, saying that even though knowledge of this connection begins with the experience, this knowledge comes from the mind. Before Kant gets to the question of how this is possible, he demonstrates that it is. He does so by showing that the very same synthesis that subsumes causation is the one that also subsumes arithmetic. Hume, in his famous billiard balls example, says:
The mind can never possibly find the effect in the supposed cause, M
by the most accurate scrutiny and examination. For the effect is totally different from the cause, and consequently can never be discovered in it. Motion in the second Billiard-ball is a quite distinct event from motion in the first
And now compare this with Kant
s statements concerning 5 + 7 = 12:
The conception of twelve is by no means obtained by merely cogitating the union of seven and five; and we may analyze our conception of such a possible sum as long as we will, still we shall neM
ver discover in it the notion of twelve
Arithmetical propositions are therefore always synthetical, of which we may become more clearly convinced by trying large numbers. (Kant 2003, p. 10)
Just as Kant suggested that we might be convinced by trying large numbers
which would subject us to a mathematical problem that we must take time to calculate rather then knowing by rote
Hume asks us to consider causal relations that
we remember to have once been altogether unknown to us
(Hume 1993, p. 17). Thus,M
s reasoning with arithmetic in order to demonstrate the similarity between billiard balls and 5 + 7 = 12. Categorizing causality and arithmetic under one heading
a priori synthetic judgment
s first step in his defense of the superimposition of modern science.
s next move consists in positing his two pure intuitions: space and time. These two intuitions act as the stage upon which the rhapsody of perceptions are organized. These intuitions are inflicted upon the rhapsodM
y by the mind, or one may say that the intuitions are superimposed onto the manifold, the flux, the plurality of existence. The intuitions of space and time cannot themselves be experienced, for they are analogous to light: though not able to be seen itself, allows objects to be seen. But what can be said at all in regards to space and time? What can we say about that which allows all things to be experienced? Quantity, only quantity. Nothing qualitative can be said. Time has duration, space has distance, allM
are magnitudes. Thus, the light that affords vision does so quantitatively.
All phenomena contain, as regards their form, an intuition in space and time, which lies a priori at the foundation of all without exception. Phenomena, therefore, cannot be apprehended, that is, received into empirical consciousness otherwise than through the synthesis of a manifold, through which the representations of a determined space or time are generated; that is to say, through the composition of the homogeneous, and the conscM
iousness of the synthetical unity of this manifold (homogeneous). Now the consciousness of a homogeneous manifold in intuition, in so far as thereby the representation of an object is rendered possible, is the conception of quantity (quanti). Consequently, even the perception of an object as phenomenon is possible only through the same synthetical unity of the manifold of the given sensuous intuition, through which the unity of the composition of the homogeneous manifold in the conception of a quantity is cogitatM
ed; that is to say, all phenomena are quantities, and extensive quantities, because as intuitions in space or time, they must be represented by means of the same synthesis, through which space and time are determined. (Kant 2003, p. 115)
To sum, all that can be said of space and time is quantity, therefore all that appears in space and time can be quantified. And thus, Kant has argued for the justification of Descartes
pivotal step of turning all that is qualitative into quantities. As for his talk of the M
homogeneous manifold, the benefit of converting all qualities into quantities is the production of identical units (unities) of measure that can be used in formulae. Space and time are measured in distance and duration. Therefore, to translate, everything in space can be represented in meters, just as all time can be represented in seconds. And thus, Kant has also paved the way for the justification of the reduction of proportions to equalities (formulae).
Now, as for the many-to-one reduction, we come tM
s Analogies of Experience. The analogies of experience are the synthesis of perceptions that amounts to experience itself. The analogies tame the rhapsody and dam the flowing flux into bordered unities. Kant provides three analogies: permanence, succession, and co-existence. (I will only deal with the first two here.)
The general principle of all three analogies rests on the necessary unity of apperception in relation to all possible empirical consciousness (perception) at every time, consequently, as M
this unity lies a priori at the foundation of all mental operations, the principle rests on the synthetical unity of all phenomena according to their relation in time. (Kant 2003, p. 122)
Before Kant delivers these fundamental analogies, he draws the important distinction between what I have simply termed qualitative and quantitative proportion. The former he will say is regulative, and the latter constitutive. My reading of the two interprets these terms in light of aphorism 5, where I attempt to distinguish M
the precision of quantitative proportion over qualitative. I give this example:
1) Tree is to Ground as Woman is to
2) 2 is to 4 as 10 is to
The first is an analogy where the fourth term can only be found with an appeal to experience, and thus, in my opinion (for I do not speak for Kant here), renders it interpretive. Kant will say that it is regulative because we have a rule to guide us as we make our appeal to experience. The fourth term of the latter analogy can be said to be constituted within the relaM
tion of the first and second terms.
Analogies in philosophy mean something very different from that which they represent in mathematics. In the latter they are formulae, which enounce the equality of two relations of quantity, and are always constitutive, so that if two terms of the proportion are given, the third is also given, that is, can be constructed by the aid of these formulae. But in philosophy, analogy is not the equality of two quantitative but of two qualitative relations. In this case, from three M
given terms, I can give a priori and cognize the relation to a fourth term, but not this fourth term itself, although I certainly possess a rule to guide me in the search for this fourth term in experience, and a mark to assist me in discovering it. (Kant 2003, p. 123).
of Thales, in which he connected the entire rhapsody of perceptions into a single unity. Could we say it was a misuse of the rule that Kant argues lies a priori within our understanding? That is up to the readM
The first analogy is permanence and deals with coming-to-be and change. Kant draws from Aristotle here and posits the notion of substance, which is permanent.
Substances (in the world of phenomena) are the substratum of all determinations of time
(Kant 2003, p. 127). Without positing something permanent, such as substance, change is not possible. That is to say that only that which is can change, can become. If the thing that changes is not a unity of some sort, than what keeps us fM
rom seeing with every change an entirely new object? If it is true that every single cell of my body is replaced every seven years, then what makes me still me, and not something entirely new? Is the river that Heraclitus steps into a second time a different river? Something permanent must be there to underlie the change if we are to think of it as the same. As Kant says,
upon this notion of permanence rests the proper notion of the conception of change
(Kant 2003, p. 127). Thus, this analogy is the reM
duction of a plurality into a unity.
The second analogy deals with the infamous character of causality. The connection of cause and effect links occurrences into events and lies at the foundation of experience itself. In opposition to Hume, Kant argues that causality does not arise from experience, but experience from causality. Hume was only able to analyze causation because his understanding already organized his perceptions in such a way. Also, we can only speak of space and time because we were born wiM
th an understanding that intuited space and time. In Kant
But the same is the case with this law [causality] as with other pure a priori representations (e.g. space and time), which we draw in perfect clearness and completeness from experience, only because we had already placed them therein, and by that means, and by that alone, had rendered experience possible. (Kant 2003, p. 131-2)
By this, we do not have a complete refutation of Hume
s attacks. The general notion of causality is a rule of the pM
ure understanding that renders experience possible. But as for individual causal events, we do need experience and we do draw off the past. The superimposition, however, allows us to turn qualitative analogy (which is merely regulative, as the fourth term has to be sought in experience) into quantitative. Reducing the plurality of experience into unities that are quantified, such as reducing objects to a measurement of
creates the opportunity to draw up theories of mathematics
blueprints of the univM
erse in numerical terms
and make astounding predictions, such as Einstein
s Special Theory of Relativity that predicted that gravity curves space.
However, science has proven over the course of its brief history to be fallible. Its greatest defense appears to be technology, as the more abstract theories of science are overturned with every new generation. Thus, maybe as Hume tempered Descartes, it is time to bring one to the stage who can temper Kant.
Like a flamethrower, Friedrich Nietzsche enters tM
he world of philosophy. He comes armed with a keen eye for literature and history, and a frenzied pen for poetry. Wading into Nietzschean waters is wading into a raging flux. A fiery fan of Heraclitus, Nietzsche seemed to embody Heraclitean views, as Nietzsche
s works flow like a river that may not be the same upon a second dip. Though, those who have ridden the entire river seem able to reduce the plurality, by analogy between all the works, into a single feeling of what Nietzsche said on a whole. For exampM
a claim that underlies all of existence, or merely a pragmatic claim applicable only to human beings? Is it a psychology or a metaphysics
reduction? What exactly did he mean when he said
Debates continue to flare concerning the intricacies.
With this said, I mean to speak of Nietzsche
s philosophy with humility, recognizing that I am a mere tadpole in the pool of many interpretations, and I wish simply to pull out statements that, I feM
el, have great bearing and truth in regards to this growing thread I am teasing out of the history of philosophy. So, without further adieu, the last philosopher
My thread has proven to be of a subject that is quite basic to human understanding, nature, and epistemology. It has wide implications for metaphysics and science. Thus, let me step into a single part of the Nietzschean river and wade lightly into his attack on metaphysics in the section titled,
Of First and Last Things,
o Human. And, therefore, with only my thread in mind to prevent from being overcome by the current, I will let Nietzsche speak for himself.
Logic too depends on presuppositions with which nothing in the real world corresponds, for example on the presupposition that there are identical things, that the same thing is identical at different points of time: but this science came through the opposite belief (that such conditions do obtain in the real world). (Nietzsche 1996, p. 16/aphorism 11).
Thus there comes to beM
constructed habitual rapid connections between feelings and thoughts which, if they succeed one another with lightning speed, are in the end no longer experienced as complexes but as unities. It is in this sense of the moral feelings, of the religious feelings, as though these were simple unities: in truth, however, they are rivers with a hundred tributaries and sources. Here too, as so often, the unity of the word is no guarantee of the unity of the thing. (Nietzsche 1996, p. 19/aphorism 14).
f the laws of numbers was made on the basis of error, dominant even from the earliest times, that there are identical things (but in fact nothing is identical with anything else); at least that there are things (but there is no
). The assumption of plurality always presupposes the existence of something that occurs more than once: but precisely here error already holds sway, here already we are fabricating beings, unities which do not exist.
Our sensations of space and time are false, for tested conM
sistently they lead to logical contradictions. The establishment of conclusions in science always unavoidably involves us in calculating with certain false magnitudes: but because these magnitudes are at least constant, as for example are our sensations of time and space, the conclusions of science acquire a complete rigorousness and certainty in their coherence with one another; one can build on them
up to that final stage at which our erroneous basic assumptions, those constant errors, come to be incompatible M
with our conclusions, for example in the theory of atoms. (Nietzsche 1996, p. 22/aphorism 19)
Here we have the reason for the fallibility of science. Every generalization inevitably covers over details that will, in some future time, make themselves known. Like the intricacies of a woman
s body beneath her dress, generalizations conceal great secrets lying beneath, secrets of uniqueness. Reality can be forced into formulae only to a certain degree before the missed or discarded details rally up to be heard. M
Science does not deliver Truth. No, it delivers technology. Beyond this, science is merely philosophy, bearing many-to-one and proportion-to-equality reductions. All is not water, nor is it magnitude. All is analogy.
And so I conclude this aphoristic gallop through history. It is my abundant hope that my thread has been received with squinting of eyes and tilting of heads, as maybe I am right in saying that this thread warrants the pedestal. But, of course, it seems that maybe I should conclude with moM
re than just a reaffirmation of my thesis. Maybe I should give a moral to this story, try my hand at asserting something further, and say what may be extracted from this history, at least in my eyes. What have I learned?
Well, if I am to do this, let me do it with some bombast and flare, while at the same time give care to brevity, as this history has gone on long enough. And hopefully the history I have presented will be enough to back my claims and justify my brevity.
Epistemology, how we form knowledge, tM
akes place through analogy. How we learn language itself takes place through analogy. Words are unities that represent a plurality. For us to make the associations between a grouping of things and to classify them under the category of a word is to make the comparisons and mentally sense the proportions. When we say we know something, there are analogies that underlie this claim that generally go beyond our consciousness.
However, Knowledge and Truth are teleological terms, a distant bull
r aimed at, but never hit. Our analogies are more or less perfect, equalities never actually achieved, because all things are unique. We draw closer to Knowledge and Truth, but we can never reach it and we have no criterion to judge if we have. Mystery will forever be with humanity, and with it the beautiful, the sublime, the unknown, the scary, the surprising. The journey is infinite and, thus, must be enjoyed for its own sake. Every new generation may think they have come to something true about this existenM
ce, but at best they came to a more or less precise view. Epistemology consists in a precision of proportion. It is a degree of resemblance of analogues, a more or less, but void of a beginning or an end, void of the existence of the finish line, of the perfect resemblance, the equality. It is true that we must posit the possibility of Truth and Knowledge
the bulls-eye must be there for the teleology
but let our modesty assent to the necessary mirage gracing the horizon, the unattainable goal that nevertheleM
ss beckons us to come. We should not frown upon the mirage, but look back upon humanity
s journey toward sharpening the knife of knowledge, and feel a deep sense of nostalgia.
But now, in our present age, is it possible that the degree of precision reached is possibly too sharp for the clumsy hands of humanity? Many feel technology may have passed far beyond our understanding of its long-term implications
This, however, takes us into the arena of ethics, possibly an ethics of proportion. And, that mightM
be another paper for another time.

Lambach, Austria 1898
A young boy sits reading in a monastery garden beneath a mid-April sun. He clumsily hums the notes he sees strung across the pages. He delights in the fresh smell of the many colored flowers and the ambience of distant birds. He likes it here. It
s so much nicer than Fischlham.
Good morning, my dear Adolf,
a soft female voice sounds from behind the boy.
He turns and looks up. The sun blinds him, compelling him to raise his hand to block M
the rays. Seeing only the shadowed silhouette of a nun, he says,
Good morning, Sister.
He turns back to his book. He doesn
t know which Sister this is, and doesn
t care. He must learn the assigned hymn for Sister Claire before this afternoon

she says, kneeling beside him.
He looks at her again and sees her face. He doesn
t recognize her. He would have remembered the deep-seated blue eyes, the thick jaw line, the aged appearM
ance unusually absent of wrinkles. Unlike the other Sisters, her robe bears the crest that adorns so many walls of the monastery, the crest with that strange cross in the middle. The swastika, he thinks it
s called. She must be a high-ranking nun to be wearing such a distinguished robe.
How old will you be?
she says and then runs her hand through the boy
Nine is a very special number.
s focused gaze relaxes, as do his fiM
ngers. He wonders what sort of nun this is who wears such a robe and touches him as if she
s been at Lambach Abbey for a few months and all the nuns were quite nice, but they never touched him like this.

the boy asks, staring forward with lazy eyes at the array of flowers as the nun continues to caress his hM

Oh yes. May I show you something?
She reaches into her robe and pulls out a candle. She moves it slowly in front of the boy
She blows on the wick and a high flame quickly flashes to life.
How did you do that?
The nun holds the candle close to the boy
s face. He blows on it, but it remains. HM
e tries again and fails again. The flame is unaffected, not even pushed by the blow. He blows as hard as he can. Nothing. The nun chuckles. The boy
s face goes red and he spits on the flame. A hissing sound emanates as the saliva is burnt off.
Here, you hold it. Now, blow.
With the candle in the boy
s hand, he blows and the flame is extinguished easily.
Now give it back to me.
The boy hands the candle to the nun and the flame immediately returnM

The boy shakes his head.

Good. Now, get back to your hymn. Sister Claire will be very disappointed if you don
t know it. You do, after all, have such a fine voice. A fine voice, indeed.
Leonding, Austria 1900
Within a modest home, sitting in brown armchairs placed closM
e together in front of a wood-burning stove, a mother and father mourn their loss. In one arm the woman cradles her four-year old daughter, and with the other reaches out to the adjacent chair and clinches her husband
she continually says between the constant wetting of her daughter
s forehead with kisses. She turns to her left to see her eleven-year boy sitting on the floor in a corner next to a thick wooden table, his knees pulled in. He

She kisses her daughter
s forehead once again and rises with the girl still in her arms. With strong arms and back, she gently lowers the girl to the chair. She walks over to her only surviving son, leans low and begins kissing him.
Come, my son. Come get warm.
He appears not to hear her, but responds to her gentle tug on his arm. He stands without losing his lost stare. They walk over to the chair and the woman takes both children in her arms and pulls them onto her lap as she sits. She reM
sumes her routine of kisses on her two children.
A forceful knock on the door is heard.
The priest. It must be the priest,
the man says as he leaps up and strides to the door.
Stomping his feet at the threshold to the house, a priest enters. The boy looks over. A nun with a large crest on her chest follows the priest in. The boy
not having seen her since that magical meeting two years prior in Lambach
recognizes her. As she walks in she stares into the boy
s eyes and he stares back. The priest intrM
oduces the nun to the boy
s mother and father. To the boy, everything in the house begins to fade into a shadowy background behind the nun
s presence. He no longer hears the exchange between the priest and his parents.
The man and woman lead the priest to Edmund
s room. The mother tightly carries her long-legged four-year old daughter, leaving the boy behind sitting in her chair. The nun takes two logs from a pile against a wall and throws them into the stove. Then, she sits next to the boy where his father M

They pause but never lose eye contact.
You remember what I said to you in Lambach?
Do you still believe it?
The nun leans closer to the boy.
You must never forget. You remember the candle?
Yes. I never forgot that.

She then raises her hand to the stove, and within a second, the fire begins to rage. The boy is almost instantly warmed. He looks at her and lowersM

Still looking at the boy, she says,
I will see you again, my dear Adolph.

The young man winces from the cold, as well as his burgeoning emotion. He folds his arms tightly in front of his chest and hunches over slightly. The nun notices and places her hand on his shoulder. Within seconds the young man sits straight again and his arms relax. He no longer shivers. He looks over at her with the same boyish bright eyes of their last two meetings.

Vienna, Austria 1913
Pedestrians frolic through Schiller Square of the Ringstra
e, bathing in the warmth and beauty of the spring day. A rough looking man in his mid-twenties dressed in rags leans his paintings against the base of Schiller Memorial outside the Academy of Fine Arts. He casts low-browed glanceM
s at the frothy populace.
These people, he says to himself, they know nothing of the beautiful and sublime. They merely bounce about oblivious to anything of real consequence. He looks up at the statues of Schiller and Goethe and wishes he were alive in their time. He would have some respect then. People wouldn
t have merely walked past him ignoring his art. There was more purity back then. Now people are a dirty cluster of culture and blood.
The man leans against the base next to his paintings and watches theM
people. He watches families with children discussing what fun activity they
ll do next, young romantic couples lost in their revealing conversations, solitary ones marching with strong resolve.
Then, the man spots a group of odd-looking characters, the ones with those odd ways and religion. He stares at their dark side-locks curling down past their ears to their jaw lines, their lengthy caftans, and their large noses. They
re so different. Their features are unsmooth, bulging and blotchy. This must be the appM
earance of impurity. He thinks about how they very well could be as evil as the Viennese papers portray them to be.
The man then sees five wealthy men in serious discourse with a nun. The nun is speaking and the men are hanging on every word. They
re walking toward him. It
s been six years, and the poor painter probably would not have recognized her if it hadn
t been for the crest. He hopes she sees him.
The nun stops near him. She tells the wealthy men to go on without her, that she will meet them later inM
the afternoon. They nod and stroll on.
She looks at the painter in front of the statue and walks toward him.

What did I want with them, you mean.
Big plans, my dear Adolf, big plans.
For the world. And for you! This is a year to remember. It is the year of the creation of the Federal Reserve in America, a central banking system. A great milestonM

Do you see the size of the pedestal on which they stand, the very pedestal on which you and your paintings lean?
s being built. Free trade and foreign markets have been strewn across the world. The stock exchanges are in place. The New York Stock Exchange, in particular, has grown to an unprecedentedM
degree. And now, our long envisioned Great Bank is being put in place to govern it all from the shadows. Do you see the magnitude, yet?
The nun glides in close to the man and says,

Blood is impure. Don

they had it all wrong. They lived in their communes and shared everything. They remained weaM

Go to Germany, my dear Adolph, to Munich. It

The nun then waves her hand behind a passing elderly couple. Before the poor painter can collect himself and speak, the elderly couple stops and begins ranting their admiration of his art. They
re frantic, fiery even, striding up to the poor painter and questioning him about the plain paintings copied from postcards. How long did they take to complete? How much do they cost? Is there a name for the style? The painter looks at the eldeM
rly man and spouts out a price. When he turns back, the nun is gone.
a one-legged soldier says,
I overheard the doc tell the nurse that it wasn
t the gas but something in your head that has caused your blindness.
He reaches over to the adjacent cot and waves his hand in front of his comrade

blind soldier remains silent, staring into the darkness within his mind. He pushes from his consciousness the incessant blubbering and moans of his many wounded comrades on all sides as visions begin filtering through the blackness.
He was a good soldier, a dispatch runner, responsible for delivering messages to and from the front. It was a dangerous job, and he liked that. He accepted his commands and performed his duties hungrily, earning a name for himself.
The visions become more vivid and his emotions rise.M
s near Belgium running to the front. He knows the message is important, he knew it when he heard the call
yelled with such fervor.
The message was jammed into his hand.
Yes, it was an important message, but he shouldn
t have lived to deliver it. The shell landed right in his midst, killing everyone in close proximity, everyone except him. He was merely knocked down, miraculously unscathed. The only effect on him was a ringing in his ear, a ringing that birM
thed within him a feeling of detachment, a sensation that he wasn
t running but gliding, that he was a phantom floating amongst the eruptive chaos. The deafening thunder of war that could so easily cripple one
s manhood was buried within an impermeable ringing. He wasn
t disorientated in the least. He felt no pain. The shell did nothing but strengthen him.
And this was not the first time. The blind soldier remembers other similar occurrences of cheating death. He won medals and earned great respect for his vM
respected to such an extent that his superiors tolerated his often sloppy appearance. He was a soldier who grew to love death
s edge. He was a real soldier, not a fraud in a well-ironed uniform.
But there were questions that often plagued his mind. The nun he hadn
t seen since before the war
was she looking after him? Was the lowly dispatch runner truly invincible, protected by Providence?
A voice calls from the other end of the hospital,
d of much squirming and shifting can be heard, but no one says anything
no cheers, no hint of hooray.
Germany has lost and no one is surprised.
The blind soldier rolls over on his side and sighs. His medals mean nothing now. All his great deeds will sink into an abyss of collective cowardice, surrender and failure. Four treacherously long years of warfare and death for nothing. The soldier feels closer to death now than ever before.
At this precise moment, a familiar voice paralyzes him with slithering whispers:M
s time, my dear Adolph. No, don
t try to turn over. You
re not able, and you won
t be able to see me anyways. Just remain still and silent, and take leave of the moans of pain and broken spirits that surround you.

s no longer time to input, but output. Speak, my dear Adolph. Speak. Grow your following. The time is ripe.
This war was my doing. The fall of Germany was miM
ne. Why did I do this? For the emergence of the great leader that will propel the world into the next chapter of humanity, a chapter of great men
not like those first disciples, those communists, those weak men who lived powerless and poor existences. No! Great men, great creators, that
s the next stage of evolution, great men of masonry to build a tower to the heavens. That
s the destiny of Man, my dear Adolph. But the race must be purified and strengthened. Every man must be of one blood, one laM
nguage, one global purpose. This is why Germany had to fall: too much impurity and corruption, so much that the only solution was to tear it down and rebuild.
s time. The German people are disgraced. Right now
a treaty is being written in Versailles that will enslave Germany. The shame will be great. It shall tear their spirit anew every time the piercing remembrance re-emerges. So, you know what I want you to do? Make it re-emerge. Remind them of this dishonor with great force of words. TeM
ar their spirits until they follow you, until they want blood.
Never doubt, and fear nothing. I will watch over you as I have your entire life. And I will continue to do my work elsewhere.
Oh, my dear Adolph, my webbed temple is growing in power. My Great Bank I spoke of during our last meeting is rooted in place. When the time is right, I will not just simply start a panic, but I shall crash the whole thing with a slight toggle of a simple switch and thrust the world into a tailspin. When that happens you wM
ill be but a few years from the throne of Germany. It will happen. Do not fear. Never doubt. When your present darkness fades, unleash your voice like fire from the deep loins of a dragon.
Listen. Listen to those moans. The whole nation moans like that, they moan for the reparation of not only their cities, but their very spirits. Their moans plead for relief, to be saved from inner ruin, from hopelessness, from darkness. Listen to them, my son, and receive your purpose.
In a second-story den, furnished and decorated with an eye for respectability, a married couple sits on a blue sofa next to an unlit fireplace opposite their demoralized political leader. The politician buries his face in his hands, a posture they
ve never seen from him. The woman stands and goes to the window to draw the thick curtains shut, preventing the curious eyes of the night from peeking in.
The politician rants, and then mumbles, and then rants again, his emotions riding the peaks and troughs oM
Providence! Certainty! Failure!
During his rants, he repeats particular words often, sounding much like he did during his rallies that so captivated people. But then, as his voice loses volume and intensity, he sinks into self-pity and doubt, his sentences often beginning with,
The husband sits patiently concerned, looking upon his leader, despite it all, with respect and support. His wife, however, seems to fear for her leader with fidgets and shifts and M
rapid rising and sinking of the lungs within her chest. His words appear to cut into her.
Then, for no evident reason and before the couple have a chance to say anything, the leader demands immediate solitude. The man rises without hesitation, but the wife remains. Her leader looks at her, softens his eyes and requests politely to be left alone. And so they depart, closing the door behind them. As they walk away, the politician can hear the wife begin tugging on her husband
s ear, telling him that she fears theirM

The leader stands and begins to pace, his hands held tightly behind his back. How could this have happened? Was he crazy? Did the nun not say that she would watch over him and that he
He kicks the bottom of a dark green upholstered chair. How humiliating! All that work, all those speeches, all for naught. He was successful. He raised a small army of passionate followers. He recruited leaders of all kinds, diM
stinguished men of every sort, even policemen. He thought he could do as Mussolini had done: march in and assume power by force. Mussolini led his army straight into Rome and took it over. Italy is now his. He
s their sole leader. Absolute power! How did he succeed so easily?
He continues to pace, his arms flailing about, gesturing alongside his thoughts.
re after him while he hides in this den with the curtains drawn. He
ll be arrested, sentenced to prison. High treason shall be the charge. TheM
s nothing to be done. It
s over. To run would be cowardice. To fight would be a shameful shedding of German blood, the very blood he was trying to save, purify and protect. No, he shall end this the only honorable way he can.
He sits, and sinks into his chair. He stares into the dark, empty fireplace. He begins feeling strangely drowsy. His breathing slows and body goes limp. Then, a slow wavy flame begins to rise from nothing. It undulates like a serpent enchanted by a simple tune. The politician hypnoticalM
ly stares. He knows this flame; he knows its source.
He waits for her to speak, but she does not. Instead she shows him things in the flame, scenes of future happenings. He first sees a courtroom with many people. Powerful people. He sees himself speaking in his own defense. He can
t hear what he says, but he sees the faces of the listeners and knows he plays them the tune they
ve yearned to hear for so long.
The flame flickers and he sees a jail cell. He sees himself sitting. He
writes many pages, telling the story of his struggle, of Germany
The flame jerks again and he sees himself leaving prison. He sits upon a beast of burden as the German people kneel down, forming two rows on either side of him, throwing petals to the ground for his beast to walk upon. He sees himself, his own face. He
s confident and strong. He looks straight ahead. He looks to the place he plans to lead Germany. He then looks at himself, the one sitting in the den contemplating suicide. He smirks. TM
he politician in the den shudders at the uncanny eye contact.
The flame broadens as another vision comes. He sees two separate crowds standing in a circular cluster around their particular leader in a large field surrounded by forest. It is raining and thundering, but a massive canopy hovers above sheltering those in the field. The canopy is not bare, but is adorned with numerous crests of many sizes randomly placed. It is the crest of the nun. Also, printed repeatedly along the entire perimeter of the grand canopM
y are the letters NYSE. The politician
s eyes widen as he remembers the nun
s mention of the New York Stock Exchange. Her words now echo in his mind:
crash the temple with the slight toggle of a simple switch
In the center of one of the crowds, the politician sees himself. His is the smaller of the two, but grows. People walk out from the forest and join his group. But his is still smaller.
Then the politician sees a great earthquake. The canopy begins to rockM
. The people brace themselves against each other. A corner of the canopy breaks loose from the ground and begins flapping violently in the storm. The people scream. A great gust of wind comes and sweeps the canopy away. The heavy tarp whips and slaps as it flies, creating its own thundering cries. The rain falls heavy upon the people as they begin to shiver and cough and sneeze.
The people, shriveled within their drenched clothes, look to their respective leaders. The current leader of Germany is dumbfounded and saM
ys nothing. The other leader, however, begins to speak, and does so with great passion and volume. He thunders back at the sky. And, it is quieted. He rouses the dormant strength of his people, who now stand straight and strong. Those of the other crowd straggle over, and continue to do so until the people are united around one leader. Him.
And with that, the vision leaves. The flame dies out slowly as cold darkness returns to the fireplace.
The once suicidal politician lifts his gaze to the ceiling as the smallesM
t hint of a smile lightens his face.
The crowd looks upon their new leader with hopeful eyes. He looks back with a subtle, but ambitious grin. He stands in a second-storey window with spotlights aimed at him.
s the new Chancellor of Germany. Finally.
He waves and presents his mighty salute. He is happy and ready. He basks in the moment, but also can
t wait until the crowd disperses. He knows she will come tonight. He had one of his men set up a back room for aM
late night encounter. Candles throughout, the smell of incense, a small fire, the best tea.
s been absent while he lived out the visions he saw in the flame. Fifteen years since he last heard her voice, twenty since he last saw her. She will come to me tonight, the Chancellor says to himself as he looks down on his people. His Germany.
Finally, the parades slow and the people disperse. The spotlights are shut off. He has a final cup of tea with his men, and then retires to his candlelit rooM
An hour passes and he yawns. He sits in a padded armchair reading the book he wrote about himself while in prison. He lifts his cup from a small table and sips his tea. He looks over at the vacant chair on the other side of the small table and sighs.
Then, out from a shadowy corner near his bed, she appears.
Well done, my dear Adolph.
She walks forward as the dim firelight illuminates her face. The Chancellor is stunned by her youthful appearance. Is it possible she
s gotten younger? No, it must beM
m very glad you did.
she says and sits in the chair intended for her.
Would you like some tea?
He stands and goes over to a counter.
ve come a long way, haven
she says as he pours the tea.
He brings a cup back to her and sits.
But this is just the beginning. You realize that don
Everything up until now has been foreplay, the settM
ing of the stage. The foundation has been laid, and now it
s time to build the structure.
He smiles and she looks him over.

Exactly. You once marched on Berlin, but the timing was bad. Now the timing is right. March. Tear down the walls that restrain you. However, do nothing that can risk losing the love of your people. Be smart. Gain absolute power now, but once you get it, work strategically. You must then build another foundation. We both know the end we seek. But to get there successfully will require stealth. Line everything up before you strike. During rearmament, let your propaganda be of peace and prosperity. DM
t give anything away. Be smart.
ve come a long way, Sister,
the Chancellor says.
I know exactly what needs to be done.
Of course, you do. I
m very proud of you. I want you to know that.
She takes another sip of tea and smiles.
How about we speak of simpler things. We
ve never done that. Would you like that?
They both then relax their postures and begin speaking as comrades. Friends even. She asks him if he still paints. He tells her that he doesn
time anymore, but still enjoys the arts. He asks her what inspired her to become a nun and she says it all had to do with the book of Acts. She asks him about the blonde woman he
s in love with, and he spends much time describing her.
They continue to speak of simple things throughout the night until the Chancellor can no longer keep his eyes open. Before the dawn, he climbs into bed. She tucks him in and then disappears into the corner from which she appeared.

She walks to him, leans down and wipes the sweat from his face.
ve been patient long enough.
He clasps her hand and looks up at her. Through clinched teeth, he says,
Yes, my dear Adolph. Do it. Unleash the machine.
An explosion quakes the building. Dust falls from the ceiling of the bunker onto the heads of Adolph Hitler and his wife, Eva. Eva cries anM
d he holds her. He tries to protect her, but knows there is no use. He
d done well over the years to shield her from the mass destruction and death he poured upon Europe. But now that his war machine has wilted to rubble and the bloodshed has reached Berlin, he knows there is no way to protect Eva
s innocent eyes from the explosive storm that is upon them.
Another bomb lands nearby, piercing their ears and shaking the ground, knocking over a couple of candles they lit when the electricity went out. Eva convulM
ses sharply and buries her head in her husband
s chest. Her entire body vibrates from fear and she kneads his coat with desperate, tense fingers. He tries to calm her, but he can
t. He rocks. He rubs her hair. But her fear grows.
Another bomb cracks the ceiling, sending a thick blanket of dust floating down. The bass booming sound causes her to convulse again. She can
t handle anymore. She lifts her head and begins screaming uncontrollably. She pulls away as her husband attempts to maintain the embrace. He M
tries to tell her to calm herself, but she
s screaming incessantly. He yells his commands. Another bomb hits. They
re both screaming now. The bunker shimmies and rocks. Hitler reaches into his pockets for the two capsules he had been saving.
Then, in an instant, everything stops. The bombs stop. The ground stills. The dust dissipates. Eva
s wild movements and cries cease. Dizzied by the abrupt silence and stillness, Hitler looks down at his wife. She
s unconscious, breathing peacefully, her head resting onM
Hello, my dear Adolph,

t respond. He merely stares into the shadow from which the sound came, unsure if the far away voice was real.
He stares at her, blinking and squinting his eyes to clear away the daze. The nun says nothing more, but simply strides slowly toward him in her heavy, black robe. As he begins regaining his presence of mind, his emotions begin to awaken. The anger of betrayal begins to burn within hiM
m. He slides out from underneath Eva and guides her head to the floor.
He looks up at the nun and violently stands. He speaks. His volume increases rapidly until he
s yelling. He verbally thrashes her for her betrayal, for her weakness, for her incompetence, for her stupidity. He stomps toward her, his fists clinched tightly. When he closes in within five feet, he raises his right hand to strike.
Suddenly, the nun thrashes the empty space between them. Without being touched, Hitler is hurled backward. His head M
snaps back at impact, thumping hard against the floor. He rolls onto his side in pain.
He opens his eyes to see the bottom of her robe within inches of his face. He looks up and sees her peering down at him with large, incendiary eyes.
m here to save you and this is how you treat me,
Hitler rolls onto his back and the nun sits down on the floor beside him. She places her hand on his shoulder as a numbing sensation courses through his body that paralyzes his arms and legs. She commands him toM
sit up. Seemingly independent of his volition, Hitler
It had to come to this, my son,
She flicks something luminous
a flimsy flame, a paper-like incandescence that lands in front of them on the floor. He stares into it.
Within the flame he sees a bald eagle gripping thirteen arrows and an olive branch. It flies above pockmarked Germany heading west. It flies over Britain, and then over the Atlantic Ocean before reaching land where it approaches a towering pyramid reaching to the M
heavens. Engraved upon the base stones are the words: The Federal Reserve. The eagle ascends to the top of the pyramid where a colossal capstone floats
a capstone with an eye. The stone hovers and turns and gently rises and falls, as if floating on the sea. It blinks and then looks at the small, barely visible eagle.
s not yet complete, but, thanks to you, we
re entering the final stage of creation. Your war machine has plowed the way, M
setting much of the world ablaze, and thus providing the proper soil for what is to come. The rise of the two feuding superpowers
the Communists and Capitalists
s the next phase. Oh, but I have much yet to do. So much to do.
The nun leans back against the wall while Hitler remains upright. She crosses her arms and continues speaking.
You see, a century ago I fused Communism with Atheism with a simple Manifesto, a set of ideas that has spawned today
s Soviet Union. That was quite easy, to be honesM
ve done here with you, however, was much harder. But well worth it, let me tell you. Soon, I shall begin whispering the name Hitler into the ears of both the Capitalists and Soviets, causing anxiety to build. They shall fear each other because of their opposing ideologies and the remembrance of your dark deeds. A scramble for allies and markets and the spread of their ideals will consume them like hot embers in their guts. They shall battle each other in a new form of war. In but ten years, the atheism M
of the Communists will compel the Capitalists to disregard their separation of church and state and declare their belief in the true God. And thus, the fusion of Capitalism with Christianity.
The nun begins running her fingers through Hitler
s what all this was for, my dear Adolph. To rid my Christian people of the beliefs of those first disciples and deliver them to the true God so they can finally reach their potential and rule this world. You see, all durable empires must have a single GoM
s a man, a statue, or an idea. It unifies their belief system and focuses their power, leading to purity.
The nun waves her hand over the flame and Hitler looks down at it.
The vision is still of the pyramid and the eagle flying freely in front of it. Then, from the eye of the capstone, Hitler sees visible vibrations radiating out like waves of air and sound. The vibrations soon coalesce into massive discernible shapes. Words.
Hitler reads: In God We Trust.
Money, my dear boy. Money is power, and power shall be their God. Their purity. It is the way, the truth, and the life. It has always been. And in 1955, my Great Church
will establish this creed by printing those very words on every coin and bill. Don
m not interested in the purity of a fluid that runs through their veins. No, I want to purify their souls; I want to purify the deepest levels of who they are, those levels that only ideas can touch. Then, and only thM
en, will my work be complete.
The nun blows on the small fire, easily extinguishing it. She smoothes out the front of her robe and leans forward. She rubs her hands together and says,
ll have plenty of time to talk further. But, as for now, we must depart.
She stands, turns to Hitler, and holds out her hand. Hitler feels his paralysis lift, but nevertheless remains still.
ve taken care of everything. History will read that you killed yourself and your body was cMa
remated and tossed to the winds. You

He then places his hand in hers and looks up at her with wide eyes.
Who are you? Who are you really?
The nun smiles and pulls him to his feet.

I look up at the moon. Humiliated. An ember of anger heats my gut. I

Now that the panic behind my eyes relents, I focus on her, on her speedy heels and calves. And then the rest of her. She wears khaki shorts and a green t-shirt. Very plain. Her right lower leg bears a large bruise that curls around from the front. In the hand that doesn
t carry me, she holds a medium sized purple notebook with a colorful pen slid into the spiral. Her hair is dark brown and shoulder length. Her figure is also very plain. A bit roM

When did you eat last?
Her eyes squint and focus in on me with analytic precision.
What have you been drinking?
A couple cans of Satan Spit,
Ah, caffeine and tons of sugar?
She stops at the rear of a parked car in what appears to be the most distant parking spot. She nods her head in understanding and then says,
energy drinks can take you way beyond the jitters. I bet you felt like you were going to have a heart attack. I could see it in your face.

I climb in and shut the door. She doesn

She looks over at me, looks me up and down.

You know, might sound crazy but I think our paths converged tonight for a purpose. We both drove here from distant cities. I came from the north, you from the south. I came to find something and you came to escape something. I think our situations complement each other. You know? You might not believe me, but I also just got out of a relationship.

The flame touches me and the pain increases rapidly.
What was that all about?
She looks at me with wide, excited eyes.
No, not that. What do you feel now?
My hand still burns.
No, your heart. And your head.
You forgot about her. Surface pain always overpowers inner pain.
We stand there looking at each for a few seconds. She looks like she is going to say something, or do something.
She then extends her right arm with calmness and control. She still stares into my eyes. The flame flickers to life beneath the palm of her right hand. She then closes her eyes, and burns herself. A couple seconds pass. She

I grab her hand and remove it from the swaying flame. Like waking from a dream, her eyelids slide open and a small smile forms beneath reddened eyes. She looks at me as my hand holds hers. A few awkward seconds pass, but I can

s not good for a pretty lady to be out late alone.
Jersey turns around and looks at me and then back at him. She shrugs and says,
You watch too much news, Mister.
He smiles and I wonder why he said that and why he never once looked at me.
We walk over to a table near the tall windows and sit on hard wM

I peer into her dark brown, unremarkable eyes.

I say again, staring down, thinking about her eyes. At first they seemed so full of life. But now, without my panic or her enthusiasm, I see they

re desperate and tired.
Talking with a near-full mouth and looking down at her food, mixing the rice and sauce with her plastic fork, she says,
You want to know the best thing to do when you

Work. Engulf yourself in your work. Not to take your mind off things, which is why most people do it, but instead to marinate in the pain and create something out of that rich soil. You know, for artist types like us, our best stuff grows from shit. The more pungent, the better.

the restaurant and return to the moon-filled night. Clouds now streak across the blackness and surround the moon in their edgy way, a jagged fluffiness illuminated by gray light. Jersey and I walk and speak about many things. We walk without caring where. She tells me about her stories and what writing means to her. I describe some of my paintings. I tell her that when I see a sleeping woman, I
m compelled to sketch her. There is something oddly intimate about it, as if I can understand her in a deep way as I skM

Her body lacks graceful curves and so do her dance moves, but I delight in her steps and spins. I ask her if she wants me to run into a store and buy her something to help her sleep. She says only a new story can help her.
A pleasant breeze bustles our hair, as well as the leaves of the trees lining the shops and streets. We listen to them along with the air gently swirling around and within our ears. We walk anM

She runs to the base of the stairwell that leads to the second floor. She looks back at me.
I walk faster and she begins to ascend the stairwell. I follow. Reaching the top I find her leaning against the railing, peering out at the Waco horizon. I join her.
She begins speaking slowly and rhythmically.

She pauses and drops her gaze and looks at the railing upon which our hands rest.
How can one person have that much power over me? I don

He left me. He just left. It wasM

Yeah. But, it still hurts. You know?
I look over at her. She now stares straight out onto the horizon
the kind where one sees nothing except the scenes within one

I watch her for a couple seconds, and then say,
Why did you do that?
Why did you slam your hand down like that?
As she turns and walks away, her back to me, one hand holding the other, she M
This pain is better.
She descends the stairwell and I follow.
We approach the door to her motel room and she pulls out a card and unlocks it.
The motel room smells of mildew and contains one large bed with a couple nightstands. She pulls a chair out from a small, circular table next to the wall A.C. unit and sits. She still holds her reddened hand. I sit facing her on the corner of the bed.

With the notebook on her legs, and with the surprising nonchalance of a child with a crayon, she begins writing. Just writing, as if she knew what she wanted to say all along. Her frenzied pen glides with girly loops across the page. She writes with her left hand while her right hand rests limply on the bed beside her. After a minute or so, she looks up at me.

And so, just for her, I decide to pull out the burnt picture of Jenny and use it to bait my pain. Just for Jersey. Because she

How could I leave her? Why did I? Was it really that bad? Could I not talk about my day more? Could I not share more? Could I not let it out more? I can
t believe I burnt the picture. I can
t believe I wanted to burn her out of my life.
With my fingernail, I scrape the crescent-shaped black burn lining.
And then, I begin to draw. I forget about Jersey and just draw. I let it out. I

A conflict of visions
In 1988 Thomas Sowell published a book
that sought to explM
up being political adversaries on so
many different and apparently unrelated
issues. If you hear that someone
supports strong military spending and
free markets, you can probably guess
re against gender quotas
for company boards, even though these
issues have nothing to do with each
other. Sowell wanted to know why.

Sowell argues that political conflicts
have their roots in a difference of
deeply held intuitive assumptions about
human nature itself. These assumptions
are so deep they are rarely articulated
or discussed directly, but they lead by
logical extrapolation to a whole host
of viewpoints that colour our outlooks
on almost any political debate. He
calls these different assumptions
and describes a spectrum
o opposing visions: the
constrained and the unconstrained.
People with the constrained vision
believe human nature is essentially
flawed and unchanging. They believe
the same, always have been the same and
always will be the same. Individuals in
the constrained vision cannot
comprehend the whole vastness of the
world and attempting to do so is
overreaching. By implication then, the
spectrum of human potential is small:
the difference between the most
ectual people and the least
People with the unconstrained vision
believe human nature is malleable,
perfectible and essentially good. They
believe that deep down there are big
differences between people
and intellectual potentials, and that
people at the upper end of the spectrum
are more immune to greed, dishonesty,
stupidity and corruption than people at
the lower end. Advancement to the
summit of human nature comes through
thought, reflection and debate.

s views can move around as
they progress through life. But from
this simple starting point Sowell
explains how the visions quickly lead
to a variety of other less abstract

By implication there are no solutions,
only tradeoffs. The value of intuitions

People with the unconstrained vision
tend to feel the opposite. They often
distrust or lose patience with large
institutions and decentralised
processes that constrain human action.
They focus on solutions and find
tradeoffs or compromises to be
unacceptable. Because human potential
is a path, by implication some people
are further along it than others and
decision making is therefore best done
by finding those people and putting
them in positions of power. Those with

about the role of intellectuals, so we
must review his definition of the term:
someone whose compensation or status in
society comes from their production of
ideas. This is subtly different to the
definition of expert; Sowell
distinguishes between M
The existence of expertise is
uncontroversial: people with all
visions agree on the value of experts
and who they may be. The disagreements
are about intellectuals: people who are
believed to be generically smart or
good, and who often have expansive
ideas about how to restructure society.
Academics often fit Sowell
definition of an intellectual as they
are paid for their production of ideas
rather than, say, correctly drilled oil
wells or efficient computer programsM
Academics can be experts, but experts
are much more numerous than academics.
People with the unconstrained vision
tend to conflate expertise and wisdom,
thus they highly value intellectuals
and put significant effort into
searching them out. The opinions of
small groups of intellectuals is
weighted heavily, and obedience to
their suggestions is seen as obviously
the right thing to do, even if what

The political spectrum
So far there seems to be a fairly
direct mapping to the political left
and right, so why are we futzing around
with this constrained/unconstrained
Sowell does this because the typical
left/right terminology doesn
map exactly to his theory, and often
the conventional mapping of an ideology
to the left/right spectrum is debatable
at best. By defining his own termsM
Sowell avoids these problems. For
instance Nazi-ism is regarded as an
extreme right wing ideology although
their policies and actions were very
similar to those of communist regimes.
To make things even more complicated,
sometimes people arrive at similar
conclusions for very different reasons.

theory to a non-Bitcoin toM
how it holds up: conflict.
People on the left tend to be pacifist
and consider social/welfare spending a
higher priority than spending on the
military. They are often in favour of
nuclear disarmament. People on the
right often have opposite views.
To someone with the unconstrained
vision, war is a grievous fault of
human nature: a deviation from the
natural state of things, which is
peace. War demands an explanation and a
solution. The explanation is people
lower on the moral/intellectual M
spectrum. The solution is engagement,
debate and peace conferences to raise
the other side to our level. The
decreasing frequency of wars over time
on the other hand is almost too obvious
to need explaining: human nature has
got better, exactly as you would
expect. A good way to avoid war is
therefore to simply avoid weapons.
But to someone with the constrained

improvements in human nature itself,
but by the creation of armies and
weapons so terrible that it would be
insane for countries to attack each
other, along with ever-greater trade
integration that makes war economically
infeasible. The solution to a conflict
is to win it, through overwhelming
military might. The best way to avoid
wars is therefore a mix of greater
defence spending and the creation of

S PREFACE</h1><p>On April 1st, 1924, I began to serve my sentence of detention in the Fortress of Landsberg am Lech, following the verdict pronounced by the Munich People
s Court on that day. After years of uninterrupted labour it was now possible for the first time to begin a work for which many had asked and which I myself felt would be profitable for the Movement. I therefore decided to devote two volumes to a descriptioM
n not only of the aims of our Movement, but also of its development. There is more to be learned from this than from any purely doctrinaire treatise. This has also given me the opportunity of describing my own development in so far as such a description is necessary to the understanding of the first as well as of the second volume and to refute the unfounded tales which the Jewish press has circulated about me. In this work I turn not to strangers, but to those followers of the Movement whose hearts belong to it anM
d who wish to study it more profoundly. I know that fewer people are won over by the written, than by the spoken, word and that every great movement on this earth owes its growth to great speakers and not to great writers. Nevertheless, in order to achieve more equality and uniformity in the defence of any doctrine, its fundamental principles must be committed to writing. May these two volumes therefore serve as building stones which I contribute to the common task. The Fortress, Landsberg am Lech.</p><blockquote><M

ates, the reunion of which seems, at least to us of the younger generation, a task to which we should devote our lives, and in the pursuit of which every possible means should be employed. German-Austria must be restored to the great German Fatherland, and not on economic grounds. Even if the union were a matter of economic indifference, and even if it were to be disadvantageous from the economic standpoint, it still ought to take place. People of the same blood should be in the same Reich. The German people will hM
ave no right to engage in a colonial policy until they have brought all their children together in one State. When the territory of the Reich embraces all Germans and proves incapable of assuring them a livelihood, only then can the moral right arise, from the need of the people, to acquire foreign territory. The plough is then the sword, and the tears of war will produce the daily bread for the generations to come. For this reason the little frontier town appeared to me as the symbol of a great task, but in anotheM
r respect it teaches us a lesson that is applicable to our day. Over a hundred years ago this sequestered spot was the scene of a tragic calamity which affected the whole German nation and will he remembered for ever, at least in the annals of German history. At the time of our Fatherland
s deepest humiliation, a N
rnberg bookseller, Johannes Palm, an uncompromising nationalist and an enemy of the French, was put to death here because he had loved Germany even in her misfortune. He obstinately refused to disclosM
e the names of his associates, or rather the principals who were chiefly responsible for the affair, just as Leo Schlageter did. The former, like the latter, was denounced to the French by a government official, a director of police from Augsburg who won ignoble renown on that occasion and set the example which was to be copied at a later date by the German officials of the Reich under Herr Severing
s regime.</p><blockquote><p>16</p></blockquote><p>In this little town on the Inn, hallowed by the memory of a GermaM
n martyr a town that was Bavarian by blood but under the rule of the Austrian State, my parents were domiciled towards the end of the last century. My father was a civil servant who fulfilled his duties very conscientiously. My mother looked after the household and lovingly devoted herself to the care of her children of that period I have not retained many memories, because after a few years my father had to leave that frontier town which I had come to love so much and take up a new post farther down the Inn valleyM
, at Passau, therefore, actually in Germany itself. In those days it was the usual lot of an Austrian civil servant to be transferred periodically from one post to another. Not long after coming to Passau my father was transferred to Linz, and while there he retired to live on his pension, but this did not mean that the old gentleman would now rest from his labours. He was the son of a poor cottager, and while still a boy he grew restless and left home. When he was barely thirteen years old he buckled on his satcheM
l and set forth from his native country parish. Despite the dissuasion of villagers who could speak from
, he went to Vienna to learn a trade there. This was in the fifties of last century. It was a sore trial, that of deciding to leave home and face the unknown, with three gulden in his pocket but when the boy of thirteen was a lad of seventeen and had passed his apprenticeship examination as a craftsman, he was not content. On the contrary, the persistent economic depression of that period and theM
constant want and misery strengthened his resolution to give up working at a trade and strive for
As a boy it had seemed to him that the position of the parish priest in his native village was the highest in the scale of human attainment, but now that the big city had enlarged his outlook the young man looked up to the dignity of a state official as the highest of all. With the tenacity of one whom misery and trouble had already made old when only half-way through his youth, the young man oM
f seventeen obstinately set out on his new project and stuck to it until he won through. He became a civil servant. He was about twenty-three years old, I think, when he succeeded in making himself what he had resolved to become. Thus he was able to keep, the vow he had made as a poor boy, not to return to his native village until he was
</p><blockquote><p>17</p></blockquote><p>He had gained his end, but in the village there was nobody who remembered him as a little boy, and the village itself had beM
come strange to him. Now at last, when he was fifty-six years old, he gave up his active career, but he could not bear to be idle for a single day. On the outskirts of the small market-town of Lambach in Upper Austria he bought a farm and tilled it himself. Thus, at the end of a long and hard-working career, he returned to the life which his father had led. It was at this period that I first began to have ideals of my own. I spent a good deal of time scampering about in the open, on the long road from school, and mM
ixing with some of the roughest of the boys, which caused my mother many anxious moments. All this tended to make me something quite the reverse of a stay-at-home. I gave scarcely any serious thought to the question of choosing a vocation in life, but I was certainly quite out of sympathy with the kind of career which my father had followed. I think that an inborn talent for speaking now began to develop and take shape during the more or less strenuous arguments which I used to have with my comrades. I had become aM
juvenile ringleader who learned well and easily at school, but was rather difficult to manage. In my free time I practised singing in the choir of the monastery church at Lambach, and thus it happened that I was placed in a very favourable position to be emotionally impressed again and again by the magnificent splendour of ecclesiastical ceremonial. What could be more natural for me than to look upon the abbot as representing the highest human ideal worth striving for, just as the position of the humble village prM
iest had appeared so to my father in his own boyhood days? At least that was my idea for a while, but the childish disputes I had with my father did not lead him to appreciate his son
s oratorical gifts in such a way as to see in them a favourable promise for such a career, and so he naturally could not understand the boyish ideas I had in my head at that time. This contradiction in my character made him feel somewhat anxious. As a matter of fact, that transitory yearning after such a vocation soon gave way to hoM
pes that were better suited to my temperament. Browsing among my father
s books, I chanced to come across some publications that dealt with military subjects.</p><blockquote><p>18</p></blockquote><p>One of these publications was a popular history of the Franco-German War of 1870
71. It consisted of two volumes of art illustrated periodical dating from those years. These became my favourite reading. In a little while that great and heroic conflict began to occupy my mind, and from that time onwards I became moreM
and more enthusiastic about everything that was in any way connected with war or military affairs. The story of the Franco-German War had a special significance for me on other grounds also. For the first time, and as yet only in quite a vague way, the question began to present itself: Is there a difference
and if there be, what is it
between the Germans who fought that war, and the other Germans? Why did not Austria also take part in it? Why did not my father and all the others fight in that struggle? Are we M
not the same as the other Germans? Do we not all belong together? That was the fiat time that this problem began to agitate my small brain, and from the replies that were given to the questions which I asked very tentatively, I was forced to accept the fact, though with a secret envy, that not all Germans had the good luck to belong to Bismarck
s Reich. This was something that I could not understand. It was decided that I should study. Considering my character as a whole, and especially my temperament, my father M
decided that the classical subjects studied at the Gymnasium were not suited to my natural talents, lie thought that the<i>Realschule</i>would suit me better. My obvious talent for drawing confirmed him in that view, for in his opinion, drawing was a subject too much neglected in the Austrian Gymnasium. Probably also the memory of the hard road which he himself had travelled contributed to make him look upon classical studies as unpractical and accordingly to set little value on them. At the back of his mind he hadM
the idea that his son should also become a government official. Indeed he had decided on that career for me. The difficulties with which he had had to contend in making his own career led him to over-estimate what he had achieved, because this was exclusively the result of his own indefatigable industry and energy. The characteristic pride of the self-made man caused him to cherish the idea that his son should follow the same calling and if possible rise to a higher position in it.</p><blockquote><p>19</p></blockqM
uote><p>Moreover, this idea was strengthened by the consideration that the results of his own life
s industry had placed him in a position to facilitate his son
s advancement in the same profession. He was simply incapable of imagining that I might reject what had meant everything in life to him. My father
s decision was simple, definite, clear and in his eyes, it was something to be taken for granted. A man of such a nature who had become an autocrat by reason of his own hard struggle for existence, could noM
t think of allowing
and irresponsible young people to choose their own careers. To act in such a way, where the future of his own son was concerned, would have been a grave and reprehensible weakness in the exercise
of parental authority and responsibility, something utterly incompatible with his characteristic sense of duty.
Still, he did not have his way. For the first time in my life (I was then eleven years old) I felt myself forced into open opposition. No matter how hard and determinM
ed my father might be about putting his own plans and opinions into effect, his son was no less obstinate in refusing to accept ideas on which he set little or no value. I would not become a civil servant. No amount of persuasion and no amount of
warnings could break down that opposition. I would not become a government official, not on any account. All the attempts which my father made to arouse in me a love or liking for that profession, by picturing his own career for me, had only the opposite effectM
. It nauseated me to think that one day I might be fettered to an office stool, that I could not dispose of my own time, but would be forced to spend the whole of my life filling out forms. One can imagine what kind of thoughts such a prospect awakened in the mind of a boy who was by no means what is called a
in the current sense of that term. The ease with which I learned my lessons made it possible for me to spend, far more time in the open air than at home. To-day, when my political opponents pry M
into my life, as far back as the days of my boyhood, with diligent scrutiny so as finally to be able to prove what disreputable tricks this Hitler was, accustomed to play in his young day, I thank Heaven that I can look back on those happy days and find the memory of them helpful.</p><blockquote><p>20</p></blockquote><p>The fields and the woods were then the terrain on which all disputes were fought out. Even attendance at the<i>Realschule</i>could not alter my way of spending my time. But I had now another battle M
to fight. So long as the paternal plan to make me a state functionary contradicted my own inclinations only in the abstract, the conflict was easy to bear. I could be discreet about expressing my person it views and thus avoid constantly recurrent disputes. My own resolution not to become a government official was sufficient for the time being to put my mind completely at rest. I held on to that resolution inexorably. But the situation became more difficult once I had a positive plan of my own which I could presentM
to my father as a counter-suggestion. This happened when I was twelve years old. How it came about I cannot exactly say now, but one day it became clear to me that I wanted to be a painter
I mean an artist. That I had an aptitude for drawing was an admitted fact. It was even one of the reasons why my father had sent me to the<i>Realschule</i>; but he had never thought of having that talent developed so that I could take up painting as a professional career. Quite the contrary. When, as a result of my renewed refM
usal to comply with his favourite plan, my father asked me for the first time what I myself really wished to be, the resolution that I had already formed expressed itself almost automatically. For a while my father was speechless.
A painter? An artist?
he exclaimed. He wondered whether I was in a sound state of mind. He thought that he might not have caught my words rightly, or that he had misunderstood what I meant, but when I had explained my ideas to him and he saw how seriously I took them, he opposed theM
m with his characteristic energy. His decision was exceedingly simple and could not be deflected from its course by any consideration of what my own natural qualifications really were.
Artist! Not as long as I live, never.
As the son had inherited some of the father
s obstinacy, along with other qualities, his reply was equally energetic, but, of course, opposed to his, and so the matter stood.</p><blockquote><p>21</p></blockquote><p>My father would not abandon his
and I became all the more detM
Naturally the resulting situation was not pleasant. The old gentleman was embittered and indeed so was I, although I really loved him. My father forbade me to entertain any hopes of taking up painting as a profession. I went a step further and declared that I would not study anything else. With such declarations the situation became still more strained, so that the old gentleman decided to assert his parental authority at all costs. This led me to take refuge in silence, but I put M
my threat into execution. I thought that, once it became clear to my father that I was making no progress at the<i>Realschule</i>, he would be forced to allow me to follow the career I had dreamed of. I do not know whether I calculated rightly or not. Certainly my failure to make progress became apparent in the school. I studied just those subjects that appealed to me, especially those which I thought might be of advantage to me later on as a painter. What did not appear to have any importance from this point of viM
ew, or what did not otherwise appeal to me, I completely neglected. My school reports of that time were always in the extremes of good or bad, according to the subject and the interest it had for me. In one column the remark was
excellent, in another
By far my best subjects were geography and general history. These were my two favourite subjects, and I was top of the class in them. When I look back over so many years and try to judge the results of thM
at experience I find two very significant facts standing out clearly before my mind. Firstly, I became a nationalist. Secondly, I learned to understand and grasp the true meaning of history. The old Austria was a multi-national State. In those days at least, the citizens of the German Reich, taken all in all, could not understand what that fact meant in the everyday life of the individuals within such a State. After the magnificent triumphant march of the victorious armies in the Franco-German War the Germans in thM
e Reich became steadily more and more estranged from the Germans beyond their frontiers, partly because they did not deign to appreciate those other Germans at their, true value or simply because they were incapable of doing so.</p><blockquote><p>22</p></blockquote><p>In thinking of Austria, they were prone to confuse the decadent dynasty and the people which was essentially very sound. The Germans in the Reich did not realise that if the Germans in Austria had not been of the best racial stock they could never havM
e given the stamp of their own character to an Empire of fifty-two millions, so definitely that in Germany itself the idea arose
though quite erroneously
that Austria was a German State. That was an error which had dire consequences; but all the same it was a magnificent testimony to the character of the ten million Germans in the<i>Ostmark</i>. Only very few Germans in the Reich itself had an idea of the bitter struggle which those Eastern Germans had to carry on daily for the preservation of their German langM
uage, their German schools and their German character. Only to-day, when a tragic fate has wrested several millions of our kinsfolk from the Reich and has forced them to live under the rule of the stranger, dreaming of that common fatherland towards which all their yearnings are directed and struggling to uphold at least the sacred right of using their mother tongue
only now have the wider circles of the German population come to realise what it means to have to fight for the traditions of one
t, perhaps there are people here and there who can assess the greatness of that German spirit which animated the old<i>Ostmark</i>and enabled those people, left entirely dependent on their own resources, to defend the Reich against the Orient for several centuries and subsequently to hold the frontiers of the German language by means of a guerilla warfare of attrition, at a time when the German Reich was sedulously cultivating an interest in colonies but not in its own flesh and blood at its very threshold. What haM
s happened always and everywhere, in every kind of struggle, happened also in the language fight which was carried on in the old Austria. There were three groups the fighters, those who were luke-warm, and the traitors. This sifting process began even in the schools and it is worth noting that the struggle for the language was waged perhaps in its bitterest form around the school, because this was the nursery where the seeds had to be tended which were to spring up and form the future generation.</p><blockquote><p>M
23</p></blockquote><p>The tactical objective of the fight was the winning over of the child, and it was to the child that the first rallying cry was addressed,
German boy, do not forget that you are a German,
Remember, little girl, that one day you must be a German mother.
Those who know something of the juvenile spirit can understand how youth will always lend a ready ear to such a rallying cry. In many ways the young people led the struggle, fighting in their own manner and with their own weapons.M
They refused to sing non-German songs. The greater the efforts made to win them away from their German allegiance, the more they exalted the glory of their German heroes. They stinted themselves in buying sweetmeats, so that they might spare their pennies to help the war fund of their elders. They were incredibly alert to the significance of what the non-German teachers said and they contradicted in unison. They wore the forbidden emblems of their own nation and were happy when penalized, or even physically punishM
ed. In their own way, they faithfully mirrored their elders, and often their attitude was finer and more sincere. Thus it was that at a comparatively early age I took part in the struggle which the nationalities were waging against one another in the old Austria. When collections were made for the youth Mark German League and the School League we wore cornflowers and black-red-gold colours to express our loyalty. We greeted one another with<i>Heil!</i>and instead of the Austrian anthem we sang our own<i>DeutschlandM
uber Alles</i>, despite warnings and penalties. Thus the youth was being educated politically, at a time when the citizens of a so-called national State for the most part knew little of their own nationality except the language. Of course, I did not belong to the luke-warm section. Within a little while I had become an ardent
which had a different meaning from the party significance attached to that term to-day. I developed very rapidly in the nationalist direction, and by the time I was fifM
teen years old, I had come to understand the distinction between dynastic patriotism and<i>v
lkisch</i>nationalism, my sympathies being entirely in favour of the latter even in those days.<p><blockquote><p>24</p></blockquote><p>Such a preference may not perhaps be clearly intelligible to those who have never taken the trouble to study the internal conditions that prevailed in Austria under the Habsburg monarchy. In Austria it was world-history as taught in schools that served to sow the seeds of this development, M
for Austrian history, as such, is practically non-existent. The fate of this State was closely bound up with the existence and development of Germany as a whole, so that a division of history into German history and Austrian history is practically inconceivable. And indeed it was only when the German people came to be divided between two States that this division began to make German history. The insignia of a former imperial sovereignty which were still preserved in Vienna appeared to act as a magic guarantee of aM
n everlasting bond of union. When the Habsburg State crumbled to pieces in 1918 the Austrian Germans instinctively raised an outcry for union with their German mother-country. That was the voice of unanimous yearning in the hearts of the whole people for a return to the unforgotten home of their fathers. But such a general yearning could not be explained except by the historical training through which the individual Austrian Germans had passed. It was a spring that never dried up. Especially in times of distractionM
and forgetfulness its quiet voice was a reminder of the past, bidding the people to look beyond the mere well-being of the moment to a new future. The teaching of universal history in what are called the higher grade schools is still very unsatisfactory. Few teachers realise that the purpose of teaching history is not the memorizing of some dates and facts, that it does not matter whether a boy knows the exact date of a battle or the birthday of some marshal or other, nor when the crown of his fathers was placed oM
n the brow of some insignificant monarch. That is not what matters. To study history means to search for and discover the forces that are the causes of those results which appear before our eyes as historical events. The art of reading and studying consists in remembering the essentials and forgetting what is inessential.</p><blockquote><p>25</p></blockquote><p>Probably my whole future life was determined by the fact that I had a teacher of history who understood, as few others understand, how to make this viewpoinM
t prevail in teaching and in examining. This teacher was Dr. Leopold Poetsch, of the<i>Realschule</i>at Linz. He was the ideal personification of the qualities necessary to a teacher of history in the sense I have mentioned above. An elderly gentleman with a decisive manner but a kindly heart, he was a very attractive speaker and, was able to inspire us with his own enthusiasm. Even to-day I cannot recall without emotion that venerable personality whose enthusiastic exposition of history so often made us entirely fM
orget the present and allow ourselves to be transported as if by magic into the past. He penetrated through the dim mist of thousands of years and transformed the historical memory of the dead, past into a living reality. When we listened to him we became afire with enthusiasm and we were sometimes moved even to tears. It was still more fortunate that this master was able not only to illustrate the past by examples from the present, but from the past, he was also able to draw a lesson for the present. He understoodM
better than any other the everyday problems that were then agitating our minds. The national fervour which we fell in our own small way was utilised by him as an instrument of our education, inasmuch as he often appealed to our national sense of honour, for in that way he maintained order and held our attention much more easily than he could have done by any other means. It was because I had such a master that history became my favourite subject. As a natural consequence, but without the conscious connivance of myM
teacher, I then and there became a young rebel. But who could have studied German history under such a teacher and not become an enemy of that State whose rulers exercised such, a disastrous influence on the destinies of the German nation? Finally, how could one remain a faithful subject of the House of Habsburg, whose past history and present conduct proved it to be ready, ever and always, to betray the interests of the German people for the sake of paltry personal interests? Did not we, as youngsters, fully realM
ise that the House of Habsburg did not, and could not, have any love for us Germans? What history taught us about the policy followed by the House of Habsburg was corroborated by our own everyday experiences.</p><blockquote><p>26</p></blockquote><p>In the north and in the south the poison of foreign races was eating into the body of our people, and even Vienna was steadily becoming more and more a non-German city. The
favoured the Czechs on every possible occasion. Indeed, it was the hand of thM
e goddess of eternal justice and inexorable retribution that caused the most deadly enemy of Germanism in Austria, the Archduke Franz Ferdinand, to fall by the very bullets which he himself had helped to cast. He was the prime mover in the work, begun by the ruling classes, of turning Austria into a Slav State. The burdens laid on the shoulders of the German people were enormous and the sacrifices of money and blood which they had to make were incredibly heavy. Yet anybody who was not quite blind must have seen thaM
t it was all in vain. What affected us most bitterly was the consciousness of the fact that this whole system was morally sanctioned by the alliance with Germany, whereby the slow extirpation of Germanism in the old Austrian Monarchy seemed in some way to be more or less countenanced by Germany herself. Habsburg hypocrisy, which endeavoured outwardly to make the people believe that Austria still remained a German State, increased the feeling of hatred against the Imperial House and at the same time aroused a spiritM
of rebellion and contempt. Only in the German Reich itself did those who were then its rulers fail to understand what all this meant. As if struck blind, they stood beside a corpse and in the very symptoms of decomposition they believed that they recognised the signs of renewed vitality. In that unhappy alliance between the young German Empire and the illusory Austrian State lay the germ of the World War and also of the final collapse. In subsequent passages of this book I shall go to the root of this problem. SufM
fice it here to say that in the very early years of my youth I came to certain conclusions which I have never abandoned, Indeed I became more profoundly convinced of them as the years passed. They were, firstly, that the dissolution of the Austrian Empire was a preliminary condition for the safeguarding of German nationality and culture; further, that national feeling is by no means identical with dynastic patriotism;</p><blockquote><p>27</p></blockquote><p>and, above all, that the House of Habsburg was destined toM
bring misfortune on the German nation. As a logical consequence of these convictions, there arose in me a feeling of intense love for my German-Austrian home and a profound hatred for the Austrian State. The way of looking at history which was developed in me through my study of history at school never left me afterwards. World-history became more and more an inexhaustible source for the understanding of contemporary historical events, which means politics. Therefore, I would not
history, but let histoM
ry teach me. A precocious revolutionary in politics, I was no less a precocious revolutionary in art. At that time, the provincial capital of Upper Austria had a theatre which, relatively speaking, was not bad. Almost everything was produced there. When I was twelve years old I saw a performance of Wilhelm Tell there. That was my first experience of the theatre. Some months later I attended a performance of<i>Lohengrin</i>, the first opera I had ever heard. I was fascinated at once. My youthful enthusiasm for the BM
ayreuth Master knew no bounds. Again and again I was drawn to hear his operas; and to-day I consider it a great piece of luck that these modest productions in the little provincial city prepared the way and made it possible for me to appreciate better productions later on. All this helped to intensify my profound aversion for the career that my father had chosen for me, and this dislike became especially strong as the rough corners of youthful boorishness were worn down, a process which, in my case, was fraught witM
h a good deal of pain. I became more and more convinced that I should never be happy as a government official, and now that the<i>Realschule</i>had recognised and acknowledged my aptitude for drawing, my own resolution became all the stronger. Imprecations and threats had no longer any power to change it. I wanted to become a painter and no power on earth could force me to become a civil servant. The only peculiar feature of, the situation now was that as I grew bigger I became more and more interested in architectM
ure. I considered this fact as a natural complement of my talent for painting and I rejoiced inwardly that the sphere of my artistic interests was thus enlarged.</p><blockquote><p>28</p></blockquote><p>I had no notion that one day it would have to be otherwise. The question of my career was decided much sooner than I could have foreseen. When I was in my thirteenth year my father was suddenly taken from us. He was still in robust health when a stroke of apoplexy painlessly ended his earthly sojourn and left us all M
deeply bereaved. His most ardent longing was to be able to help his son to advance in a career and thus save him from the harsh ordeal that he himself had had to undergo, but it appeared then as if that longing were in vain. And yet, though he himself was not conscious of it, he had sown the seeds of a future which neither of us foresaw at that time. At first nothing was changed outwardly. My mother felt it her duty to continue my education in accordance with my father
s wishes, which meant that she would have meM
study for the civil service. For my own part, I was even more firmly determined than ever before that in no circumstances would I become a government official. The curriculum and teaching methods followed in the higher grade school were so far removed from my ideals that I became profoundly indifferent. Illness suddenly came to my assistance. Within a few weeks it decided my future and put an end to the long-standing family conflict. My lungs became so seriously affected that the doctor advised my mother very stroM
ngly not in any circumstances to allow me to take up a career which would necessitate working in an office. He ordered that I should give up attending the<i>Realschule</i>, for a year at least. What I had secretly desired for such a long time, and had persistently fought for, now suddenly became reality without effort on my part. Influenced by my illness, my mother agreed that I should leave the<i>Realschule</i>and attend the Academy. Those were happy days, which appeared to me almost like a dream; and they were doM
omed to remain only a dream. Two years later my mother
s death put a brutal end to all my fine projects. She succumbed to a long and painful illness which, from the very beginning, permitted little hope of recovery. Though expected, her death came as a terrible blow to me. I respected my father, but I loved my mother.</p><blockquote><p>29</p></blockquote><p>Poverty and stern reality forced me to decide promptly. The meagre resources of the family had been almost entirely used up through my mother
ss. The allowance which came to me as an orphan was not enough for the bare necessities of life. Somehow or other, I would have to earn my own bread. With my clothes and linen packed in a valise and with an indomitable resolution in my heart, I left for Vienna. I hoped to forestall Fate, as my father had done fifty years before, I was determined to become
but certainly not a civil servant.</p><blockquote><p>30</p></blockquote><blockquote><p>31</p></blockquote><blockquote><p>32</p></blockquote><h1 id=M
"chapter-ii-learning-and-suffering-in-vienna">CHAPTER II: LEARNING AND SUFFERING IN VIENNA</h1><p>I had, however, one misgiving. It seemed to me that I was better qualified for drawing than for painting, especially in the various branches of architectural drawing. At the same time my interest in architecture was constantly increasing, and I advanced in this direction at a still more rapid pace after my first visit to Vienna, which lasted two weeks. I was not yet sixteen years old. I went to the Hof Museum to study M
the paintings in the art gallery there; but the building itself captured almost all my interest. From early morning until late at night I spent all my time visiting the various public buildings, and it was the buildings themselves that were always the principal attraction for me. For hours and hours, I could stand in wonderment before the Opera and the Parliament House. The whole Ring Strasse had a magic effect upon me, as if it were a scene from the Arabian Nights. And now here I was for the second time in this beM
autiful city, impatiently waiting to hear the result of the entrance examination, but proudly confident that I had got through. I was so convinced of my success that when the news that I had failed to pass was brought to me, it struck me like a bolt from the blue. Yet the fact was that I had failed. I went to see the Rector and asked him to explain the reasons why they refused to accept me as a student in the general School of Painting, which was part of the Academy. He said that the sketches which I had brought wiM
th me showed unquestionably that painting was not what I was suited for, but that the same sketches gave clear indications of my aptitude for architectural designing. Therefore, the School of Painting did not come into question for me, but rather the School of Architecture, which also formed part of the Academy. They found it hard to believe that I had never been to a school for architecture and had never received any instruction in architectural designing. When I left the magnificent Hansen building, in the SchillM
er Platz, I was quite crestfallen. I felt at odds with myself for the first time in my young life, for what I had heard about my capabilities now appeared to me as a lightning flash which clearly revealed a dualism under which I had been suffering for a long time, but for which I had hitherto been unable to account.</p><blockquote><p>33</p></blockquote><p>Within a few days I myself also knew that I ought to become an architect, but of course the way was very difficult. I was now forced bitterly to rue my former conM
duct in neglecting and despising certain subjects at the<i>Realschule</i>. Before attending courses at the School of Architecture at the Academy it was necessary to attend the Technical College, but a necessary qualification for entrance to this College was a matriculation certificate gained at the higher grade school, which I did not possess. As far as one could foresee my dream of following an artistic calling seemed beyond the limits of possibility. After the death of my mother I went to Vienna for the third timM
e. This visit was destined to last several years. Since I had been there before, I had recovered my old calm and resoluteness. My former self-assurance had come back, and I had my eyes steadily fixed on the goal. I was determined to be an architect. Obstacles are placed across our path in life, not to be boggled at, but to be surmounted, and I was fully determined to surmount these obstacles, having constantly before my mind the picture of my father, who had raised himself by his own efforts to the position of civiM
l servant though he was the poor son of a village shoemaker. I had a better start, and the possibility of winning through was greater. At that time my lot in life seemed to me a harsh one; but to-day I see in it the wise workings of Providence. Adversity had me in its grip and often threatened to smash me; but the will grew stronger as the obstacles increased, and finally the will triumphed. I am thankful for that period of my life, because it hardened me and enabled me to be hard, and I am even more thankful becauM
se I appreciate the fact that I was thus saved from the emptiness of a life of ease and that a mother
s darling was taken from comfortable surroundings and handed over to Adversity as to a new mother. Though I then rebelled against it as too hard a fate, I am grateful that I was cast, against my wishes, into a world of misery and poverty and thus came to know the people for whom I was afterwards to fight.</p><blockquote><p>34</p></blockquote><p>It was during this period that my eyes were opened to two perils, theM
names of which I scarcely knew hitherto and had no notion whatsoever of their terrible significance for the existence of the German people. These two perils were Marxism and Judaism. For many people the name of Vienna signifies innocent jollity, a festive place for happy mortals. For me, alas, it is a living memory of the saddest period of my life. Even to-day, the mention of that city arouses only gloomy thoughts in my mind. The very name of that Phaeacian town spells five years of poverty
five years in which, M
first as a casual labourer and then as a poor painter, I had to earn my daily bread, and a meagre morsel indeed it was, not even sufficient to still the hunger which I constantly felt. That hunger was the faithful companion which never left me and shared in everything I did. Every book that I bought meant renewed hunger, and every visit I paid to the opera meant the intrusion of that inalienable companion during the days that followed. I was always struggling with my unsympathetic friend, and yet during that time IM
learned more than I had ever learned before. Apart from my architectural studies and rare visits to the opera, for which I had to deny myself food, I had no pleasure in life except my books. I read a great deal then, and I pondered deeply over what I read. All my free time after work was devoted exclusively to study. Thus, within a few years, I was able to acquire a stock of knowledge, which I find useful even to-day. But, over and above that, there formed in my mind during those years, an impression of life and aM
<i>Weltanschauung</i>. These became the granite basis of my conduct. I have had to add but little to what I then learned and made my own, and I have had to alter none of it. On the contrary, I am firmly convinced to-day that, generally speaking, it is in youth that men lay the essential groundwork of their creative thought, wherever that creative thought exists. I make a distinction between the wisdom of age
which can only arise from the greater profundity and foresight that are based on the experiences of a longM
and the creative genius of youth, which blossoms out in thought and ideas with inexhaustible fertility, without being able to digest these immediately, because of their very superabundance.</p><blockquote><p>35</p></blockquote><p>These furnish the building materials and plans for the future, and it is from them that age takes the stones and builds the edifice, unless the so-called wisdom of the years has smothered the creative genius of youth. The life which I had hitherto led at home with my parents differM
ed lithe from that of many others. I looked forward without apprehension to the morrow, and there was no such thing as a social problem to be faced. Those among whom I passed my young days belonged to the small bourgeois class. Therefore, it was a world that had very little contact with the world of genuine manual labourers, for, though at first this may appear astonishing, the gulf which separates that class, which is by no means economically well-off, from the manual labouring class is often deeper than people thM
ink. The reason for this division, which we may almost call enmity, lies in the fear that dominates a social group which has only just risen above the level of the manual labourer
a fear lest it may fall back into its old condition or at least be classed with the labourers. Moreover, there is something repulsive in remembering the cultural indigence of that lower class and their rough manners with one another; so that people who are only on the first rung of the social ladder find it unbearable to be forced to haM
ve any contact with the cultural level and standard of living beyond which they have passed. Thus, it happens that very often those who belong to what can really be called the upper classes find it much easier than do the upstarts to descend to and intermingle with their fellow-beings on the lowest social level, for, by the word upstart. I mean everyone who has raised himself through his own efforts to a social level higher than that to which he formerly belonged. In the case of such a person the hard struggle throM
ugh which he has passed often destroys his innate human sympathy. His own fight for existence kills his sensibility to the misery of those who have been left behind. From this point of view Fate had been kind to me. Circumstances forced me to return to that world of poverty and economic insecurity above which my father had raised himself in his early days, and thus the blinkers of a narrow<i>petit bourgeois</i>education were torn from my eyes. Now for the first time I learned to know men and I learned to distinguisM
h between an outer polish or coarse manners and the real inner nature of people.</p><blockquote><p>36</p></blockquote><p>At the beginning of the century Vienna already ranked among those cities where social conditions were iniquitous. Dazzling riches and loathsome destitution were to be found side by side. In the centre and in the Inner City one felt the pulse-beat of an Empire which had a population of fifty-two millions, with all the perilous charm of a State made up of multiple nationalities. The dazzling splendM
our of the Court acted like a magnet to the wealth and intelligence of the whole Empire, and this attraction was further strengthened by the centralising policy of the Habsburg monarchy itself. This centralising policy was necessary in order to hold together that hotch-potch of heterogeneous nationalities, but the result of it was an extraordinary concentration of higher officials in the city, which was at one and the same time the metropolis and imperial residence. Vienna was not merely the political and intellectM
ual centre of the Danubian monarchy; it was also the industrial centre. In contrast to the vast number of military officers of high rank state officials, artists and scientists, there was the still vaster army of workers. Abject poverty rubbed shoulders with the wealth of the aristocracy and the merchant class. Thousands of unemployed loitered in front of the palaces on the Ring Strasse, and below that<i>Via Triumphalis</i>of the old Austria, the homeless huddled together in the murk and filth of the canals. There M
was hardly any other German city in which the social problem could be studied better than in Vienna. But here I must utter a warning against the illusion that this problem can be
from a higher social level. The man who has never been in the clutches of that gushing viper can never know what its poison is. An attempt to study it in any other way will result only in superficial talk and sentimental delusions. Both are harmful; the first, because it can never go to the root of the problem, the second, beM
cause it evades the question entirely. I do not know which is the more nefarious
to ignore social distress, as do the majority of those who have been favoured by fortune and those who have risen in the social scale through their own efforts, or the equally supercilious and often tactless, but always genteel, condescension displayed by people who have a craze for being charitable and who plume themselves on
sympathising with the people.
</p><blockquote><p>37</p></blockquote><p>Of course such persons sin to a M
degree which they, with their lack of instinctive understanding, are, unable to realise, and thus they are astonished to find that the social conscience on which they pride themselves never produces any results, but often causes their good intentions to be resented, and then they talk of the ingratitude of the people. Such persons are slow to learn that social activity is something very different and that they cannot expect gratitude since they are not distributing favours, but establishing rights. I was protected M
against the temptation to study the social question in the way just mentioned, for the simple reason that I was forced to suffer myself. It was, therefore, not a question of studying the problem objectively, but rather one of testing its effects on myself. Though the rabbit came through the ordeal of the experiment, this must not be taken as evidence of its harmlessness. When I try to-day to recall the succession of impressions received during that time I find that I can do so only with approximate completeness. HeM
re I shall describe only the more essential impressions and those which personally affected and often staggered me, and I shall mention the, few lessons I learned from this experience. At that time it was for the most part not very difficult to find work, because I had to seek work not as a skilled tradesman, but as a so-called extra-hand and had to be ready to take any job that turned up by chance, just for the sake of earning my daily bread. Thus I adopted the same attitude as, all those emigrants who shake the dM
ust of Europe from their feet, with the cast-iron determination to lay the foundations of a new existence in the New World and acquire for themselves a new home. Liberated from all the paralysing prejudices of class and calling, environment and tradition, they enter any service that is open to them, accepting any work that comes their way, filled more and more with the idea that honest work never disgraced anybody, no matter what kind it may be. So I was resolved to enter what was for me a new world and make my wayM
. I soon found out that there was always some kind of work to be got, but I also learned that it could just as quickly and easily be lost. The uncertainty of being able to earn a regular daily livelihood soon appeared to me the gloomiest feature in this new life upon which I had entered.</p><blockquote><p>38</p></blockquote><p>Although the skilled worker was not so frequently thrown idle as the unskilled worker, yet the former was by no means protected against the same fate; because though he might not have to faceM
hunger as a result of unemployment due to the lack of demand on the labour market, the lock-out and the strike deprived the skilled worker of the chance to earn his bread. The element of uncertainty in earning one
s daily bread causes far-reaching and serious repercussions throughout the whole social-economic structure. The country lad who migrates to the big city feels attracted by what has been described as easy work (which it may be in reality) and shorter working hours and especially by the magic glamour of M
the big city. Accustomed in the country to earn a steady wage, he has been taught not to quit his former post until a new one is at least in view. As there is a great scarcity of agricultural labour, the probability of long unemployment in the country is very slight. It is mistake to assume that the lad who leaves the countryside for the town is not made of such sound material as those who remain at home to work on the land. On the contrary, experience shows that it is the more healthy and more vigorous that emigraM
te, and not the reverse. Among these emigrants I include not merely those who emigrate to America, but also the farm-hand who decides to leave his native village and migrate to the big city, where he will be a stranger. He is ready to take the risk of an uncertain fate. In most cases, he comes to town with a little money in his pocket and for the first few days he is not discouraged if he should not have the good fortune to find work, but if he finds a job and then loses it in a little while, the case is much worseM
. To find work anew, especially in winter, is often difficult and indeed sometimes impossible. For the first few weeks life is still bearable. He receives his out-ofwork money from his trade-union and is thus enabled to carry on. But when the last of his own money is gone and his trade-union ceases to pay out because of prolonged unemployment, then comes real distress. He now loiters about and is hungry. Often he pawns or sells the last of his belongings.</p><blockquote><p>39</p></blockquote><p>His clothes begin toM
get shabby and with the increasing shabbiness of his outward appearance he descends to a lower social level and, in addition to his physical misery, now mixes with a class of human beings through whom his mind becomes poisoned. When he has nowhere to sleep, and if this happens in winter, as is very often the case, he is in dire distress. Finally he gets work, but the same story repeats itself a second time, then a third time, and now it is probably much worse. Little by little, he becomes indifferent to this everlM
asting insecurity. Finally he grows used to the repetition. Thus, even a man who is normally of industrious habits grows careless in his whole attitude towards life and gradually becomes an instrument in the hands of unscrupulous people who exploit him for the sake of their own ignoble aims. He has been so often thrown out of employment through no fault of his own that he is now more or less indifferent as to whether the strike in which he takes part is for the purpose of securing his economic rights or is aimed atM
the destruction of the State, the whole social order and even civilisation itself. Though the idea of going on strike may not be to his liking, yet he joins in out of sheer indifference. I saw this process happen before my eyes in thousands of cases and the longer I observed it, the greater became my dislike for that mammoth city which greedily attracts men to its bosom, in order to break them mercilessly in the end. When they came they still felt themselves in communion with their own people at home; if they remaM
ined that tie was broken. I was so buffeted about by life in the metropolis that I myself tasted the physical experience of such a lot and felt the effects of it in my own soul. One other thing became clear to me. The sudden change from work to idleness and vice versa and the constant fluctuation thus caused between earning and expenditure finally destroyed the sense of thrift in many people and also the habit of regulating expenditure in an intelligent way. The body appeared to grow accustomed to vicissitude, eatiM
ng heartily in good times and going hungry in bad. Indeed hunger shatters all plans for regulating expenditure in better times when employment has again been found. The reason for this is that the deprivations which the unemployed worker has to endure must be compensated for psychologically by a persistent mental mirage in which he imagines himself eating heartily once again, and this dream develops into such a longing that it turns into a morbid impulse to cast off all self-restraint when work and wages turn up agM
ain.</p><blockquote><p>40</p></blockquote><p>Therefore, the moment work is found anew he forgets to regulate the expenditure of his earnings but spends them to the full without thinking of the morrow. This leads to confusion even in the little weekly housekeeping budget, because the expenditure is not carefully planned. At first, the earnings will last perhaps for five days instead of seven; on subsequent occasions they will last only for three; as the habit grows, the earnings will last scarcely for a day, and finM
ally they will disappear in one night. Often there are a wife and children at home, and in many cases it happens that these become infected by such a way of living, especially if the husband is good to them and loves them in his own way and according to his own lights. Then the week
s earnings are spent in common at home within two or three days. The family eats and drinks together as long as the money lasts and at the end of the week they hunger together. Then the wife wanders about furtively in the neighbourhooM
d, borrows, a little and runs up small debts with the, shopkeepers, in an effort to pull through the lean days towards the end of the week. They sit down together to the midday meal, with only meagre fare on the table and often even nothing to eat. They wait for the corning pay-day, talking of it and making plans; and while they are thus hungry they dream of the plenty that is to come, and so the little children become acquainted with misery in their early years. The evil culminates when the husband goes his own waM
y from the beginning and the wife protests, simply out of love for the children. Then there are quarrels and bad feeling and the husband takes to drink as he becomes more and more estranged from his wife. He now becomes drunk every Saturday. Fighting for her own existence and that of the children, the wife has to dog his footsteps on the road from the factory to the tavern in order to get a few shillings from him on pay-day. Then when he finally comes home, maybe on the Sunday or the Monday, having parted with his M
last pence, terrible scenes take place. I have had actual experience of all this in hundreds of cases. At first I was disgusted and indignant, but later on I came to recognise the whole tragedy of their misfortune and to understand the profound causes of it.</p><blockquote><p>41</p></blockquote><p>They were the unhappy victims of evil circumstances. Housing conditions were very bad at that time. In Vienna manual labourers lived in surroundings of appalling misery. I shudder even to-day when I think of the woeful deM
ns in which people dwelt, the night-shelters and the slums, and all the tenebrous spectacles of ordure, loathsome filth and wickedness. What will happen one day when hordes of emancipated slaves come forth from these dens of misery to swoop down on their unthinking fellows? For unthinking they certainly are. Unthinkingly they allow things to go on as they are, little, dreaming, in their insensibility, that the day of reckoning must inevitably come, unless Fate is appeased betimes. To-day I thank Providence for haviM
ng sent me to, such a school. There I could not refuse to take an interest in matters that did not please me. This school soon taught me a profound lesson. In order not to despair completely of the people among whom I then lived I had to differentiate between their outward appearance and their way of living, on the one hand, and the reasons for their development, on the other. Then I could bear everything without discouragement, for those who emerged from all this misfortune and misery, from this filth and outward M
degradation, were not human beings as such, but rather the lamentable results of lamentable laws. In my own life similar hardships prevented me from giving way to a pitying sentimentality at the sight of these degraded products which had finally resulted from the pressure of circumstances. The sentimental attitude would have been the wrong one to adopt. Even in those days I already saw that there was a two-fold method by which alone it would be possible to bring about an amelioration of these conditions, namely, toM
awaken a profound sense of social responsibility for the creation of a better basis for our future development, combined with a ruthless determination to prune away all incorrigible outgrowths. Just as Nature concentrates her attention, not on the preservation of what already exists, but on the selective breeding of offspring in order to carry on the species, so in human life also it is less a matter of artificially improving the existing generation (which, owing to human characteristics, is impossible in ninety-nM
ine cases out of a hundred), but more of securing from the very start a better road for future development.</p><blockquote><p>42</p></blockquote><p>During my struggle for existence in Vienna I perceived, very clearly that the aim of all social activity must never be merely charitable relief, which is ridiculous and useless, but it must rather be a means to find a way of eliminating the fundamental deficiencies in our economic and cultural life, deficiencies which necessarily bring about the degradation of the indivM
idual or at least lead him towards such degradation. The difficulty of employing any means, even the most drastic, to overcome the hostility towards the State prevailing among certain criminal classes is largely due to an attitude of uncertainty regarding the inner motives and causes of this contemporary phenomenon. The reasons for this uncertainty are to be found in a sense of guilt for having permitted this tragedy of degradation. That feeling paralyses every serious and firm resolve and so contributes to the vacM
illating, and therefore weak and ineffectual, application of even those measures which are indispensable for self-preservation. When an age is no longer burdened with its own consciousness of blame in this regard, then and only then, will it have that inner tranquillity and outer strength necessary to cut off drastically and ruthlessly all parasite growth and root out the weeds. Because the Austrian State had almost no sense of social right or social legislation its inability to abolish those evil outgrowths was maM
nifest. I do not know what appalled me most at that time; the economic misery of those who were, then my companions, their crude customs and morals, or the low level of their culture. How often does our bourgeoisie rise up in moral indignation on hearing from the mouth of some pitiable tramp that it is all the same to him whether he be a German or not, and that he will feel at home wherever he can get enough to keep body and soul together. They bewail such a lack of
and express their horror at M
such sentiments. But how many people really ask themselves why it is that their own sentiments are better? How many of them understand that their natural pride in being members of so favoured a nation arises from the innumerable succession of instances they have encountered which remind them of the greatness of their country and their nation in all spheres of artistic and cultural life? How many of them realise that pride in their country is largely dependent on knowledge of its greatness in all those spheres?</p><M
blockquote><p>43</p></blockquote><p>Do our bourgeois circles ever think what a ridiculously meagre share the people have in that knowledge which is a necessary prerequisite for the feeling of pride in one
s country? It cannot be objected here that in other countries similar conditions exist and that nevertheless the working classes in those countries have remained patriotic. Even if that were so, it would be no excuse for our negligent, attitude, but it is not so. What we call chauvinistic education
of the French people, for example is only the excessive exaltation of the greatness of France in all spheres of culture or, as the French say, civilisation. The French boy is not educated on purely objective principles. Wherever the importance of the political and cultural greatness of his country is concerned, he is taught in the most subjective way imaginable. Education ought always to be on broad, general lines and these ought to be deeply engraved, by constant repetition if necessary, on the memories and feeliM
ngs of the people. In our case, however, we are not merely guilty of sins of omission, but also of positively perverting the little which some individuals had the luck to learn at school. The rats that poison our body politic gnaw from the hearts and memories of the broad masses even that little which distress and misery have left. Let the reader try to picture the following: There is a lodging in a cellar and this lodging consists of two damp rooms. In these rooms a workman and his family live seven people in all.M
Let us assume that one of the children is a boy of three. That is the age at which children, first become conscious of the impressions which they receive. In the case of highly gifted people traces of the impressions received in those early years remain in the memory up to an advanced age. Now, the narrowness and congestion of those living quarters are not conducive to pleasant relations and thus quarrels and fits of mutual anger arise. These people can hardly be said to live with one another, but rather on top ofM
one another. The small misunderstandings which disappear of themselves in a home where there is enough space for people to get away from one another for a while, here become the source of chronic disputes.</p><blockquote><p>44</p></blockquote><p>As far as the children are concerned the situation is tolerable from this point of view. In such conditions, they are constantly quarrelling with one another, but the quarrels are quickly and easily forgotten, but when the parents fall out with one another daily bickeringsM
often develop into rudeness; such as cannot be adequately imagined. The results of such experiences must become apparent later on in the children. One must have practical experience of such a milieu in order to be able to picture the state of affairs that arises from such mutual recriminations when the father assaults the mother and maltreats her in a fit of drunken rage. At the age of six the unfortunate child begins to be aware of sordid facts which an adult would find revolting infected with moral poison, underM
nourished in body and with its poor little head alive with vermin, the young
goes to the primary school. With difficulty he barely learns to read and write. There is no possibility of learning any lessons at home. On the contrary, the father and mother themselves talk before the children in the most disparaging way about the teacher and the school and they are much more inclined to insult the teachers than to put their offspring across their knee and knock sound reason into him. What the little fellowM
hears at home does not tend to increase his respect for his human surroundings. Here nothing good is said of human nature as a whole and every institution, from the school to the government, is reviled. No matter what the subject, religion or morals, the State or the social order, they rail against them all and drag them down into the dirt. When the lad leaves school, at the age of fourteen, it would be difficult to say what are the most striking features of his character, incredible ignorance in so far as real knM
owledge is concerned or cynical impudence combined with an attitude towards morality which is really startling in one so young. What position can a person fill in the world which he is about to enter, if to him nothing is sacred, if he has never come into contact with anything noble but, on the contrary, has been intimately acquainted with the lowest kind of human existence? The child of three has got into the habit of reviling all authority by the time he is fifteen. He has been acquainted only with moral filth anM
d vileness, everything being excluded that might stimulate his thoughts towards higher things.</p><blockquote><p>45</p></blockquote><p>Now this young specimen of humanity enters the school of life. He leads the same kind of life which was exemplified for him by his father during his childhood. He loiters about the streets and comes home at all hours. He even blackguards that broken-hearted being who gave him birth. He curses God and the world and finally ends up in a reformatory for young people where he acquires tM
he final polish, and his bourgeois contemporaries are astonished at the lack of
patriotic enthusiasm
displays. Day after day the bourgeois world sees how poison is spread among the people through the medium of the theatre, the cinema, gutter journalism and obscene books, and yet they are astonished at the deplorable
lack of national feeling
as if the overdone sentimentality of the cinema, rubbishy papers and suchlike could lay aM
foundation for recognition of the greatness of one
s country, apart entirely from the earlier education which the individual has received. I then came to understand, quickly and thoroughly, what I had never been aware of before, namely, that the question of
a people is first and foremost one of establishing sound social conditions which will furnish the foundation necessary for the education of the individual, for only when family upbringing and school education have inculcated upon the mind M
of the individual a knowledge of the cultural and economic and, above all, of the political greatness of his own country
then, and then only, will it be possible for him to feel proud of being a citizen of that country. I can fight only for something that I love. I can love only what I respect, and in order to respect a thing I must at least have some knowledge of it. As soon as my interest in social questions was once awakened I began to study them thoroughly. A new and hitherto unknown world was thus revealed tM
o me. In the years 1909
10, I had so far improved my position that I no longer had to earn my daily bread as a manual labourer. I was now working independently in a small way, as a painter in water colours. This m
tier was a poor one indeed as far as earnings were concerned, for these were only sufficient to pay for the bare necessities of life, yet it had an interest for me, in view of the profession to which I aspired.</p><blockquote><p>46</p></blockquote><p>Moreover, when I came home in the evenings, I was noM
w no longer dead-tired as formerly, when I used to be unable to open a book without falling asleep almost immediately. My present occupation was, therefore, in line with the profession I aimed at for the future. Moreover, I was master of my own time and could arrange my working-hours better than formerly. I painted in order to earn my bread, and I studied because I liked it. Thus I was able to acquire that theoretical knowledge of the social problem which was a necessary complement to what I was learning through acM
tual experience. I studied all the books which I could find that dealt with this question and I thought deeply on what I read. I think that the people among whom I then lived considered me an eccentric person. Besides my interest in the social question I naturally devoted myself with enthusiasm to the study of architecture. Side by side with music, I considered it queen of the arts. To study it was for me not work but pleasure. I could read or draw into the small hours of the morning without ever getting tired, andM
I became more and more confident that my dream of a brilliant future would come true, even though I should have to wait long years for its fulfilment. I was firmly convinced that one day I should make a name for myself as an architect. The fact that, side by side with my professional studies, I took the greatest interest in everything that had to do with politics did not seem to me to signify anything of great importance. On the contrary, I looked upon this practical interest in politics merely as part of an elemeM
ntary obligation that devolves on every thinking man. Those who have no understanding of the political world around them have no right to criticise or complain. On political questions, therefore, I still continued to read and study a great deal, but
had probably a different significance for me from that which it has for the average run of our so-called
I know people who read interminably, book after book, page after page, and yet I should not call them
an immense amount, but their brain seems incapable of assorting and classifying the material which they have gathered, from books.</p><blockquote><p>47</p></blockquote><p>They have not the faculty of distinguishing between what is of value and what is worthless in a book, in order that they may retain the former in their minds, and if possible, skip over the latter while reading or, if that be not possible, when once read, throw it overboard as useless ballast. Reading is not an end in itself, but a M
means to an end. Its chief purpose is to help towards filling in the framework which is made up of the talents and capabilities that each individual possesses. Thus each one procures for himself the implements and materials necessary for the fulfilment of his calling in life, no matter whether this be the elementary task of earning one
s daily bread or a career taken up in response to a higher call. Such is the first purpose of reading, and the second purpose is to give us a general knowledge of the world in whicM
h we live. In both cases, however, the material which we have acquired through reading must not be stored up in the memory on a plan that corresponds to the successive chapters of the book, but each little piece of knowledge thus gained must be treated as if it were a little stone to be inserted into a mosaic, so that it finds its proper place among all the other pieces and particles that help to form a general world-picture in the brain of the reader. Otherwise, only a confused jumble of chaotic notions will resulM
t from all reading, and this jumble is not merely useless, but it also tends to make the unfortunate possessor of it conceited, for he seriously considers himself a well-educated person and thinks that he understands something of life. He believes that he has acquired knowledge, whereas the truth is that every increase in such
draws him more and more away from real life, until he finally ends up in some sanatorium or takes to politics and becomes a member of parliament. Such a person never succeeds M
in turning his knowledge to practical account when the opportune moment arrives, for his mental equipment is not ordered according to the broad lines of human existence, but in the order of succession in which he read the books and their contents is stored in his mind. If Fate should one day call upon him to use some of his book-knowledge for certain practical purposes in life, Fate would have to name the book and give the number of the page, for the poor noodle himself would never be able to find the spot where heM
gathered the information now called for; but since the page is not mentioned at, the critical moment the wise fool finds himself in a state of hopeless embarrassment.</p><blockquote><p>48</p></blockquote><p>In a high state of agitation he searches for analogous cases and it is almost certain that he will finally hit on the wrong prescription. Were this not so, there could be no explanation for the political achievements of our highly-placed government officials, unless we assume that they are due to malice and chiM
canery rather than to pathological weakness. On the other hand, a man who has cultivated the art of reading will instantly discern, in a book, a journal or a pamphlet, what ought to be remembered because it meets his personal needs or is of value as general knowledge. What he thus learns is incorporated in his mental conception of this or that problem or thing, further correcting the mental picture or enlarging it so that it becomes more exact and precise. Should some practical problem suddenly demand examination oM
r solution, memory will immediately select the requisite information from the mass that has been acquired through years of reading and will place this information at the service of a man
s powers of judgment so he may gain a new and clearer view of the problem, or even solve it. Only thus can reading have any meaning or value. The speaker, for example, who has not the sources of information ready to hand which are necessary to a proper treatment of his subject, is unable to defend his opinions against an opponentM
, even though those opinions be perfectly sound and true. In every discussion his memory will leave him shamefully in the lurch. He cannot summon up arguments to support his statements or to refute his opponent. So long as the speaker has only to defend himself on his own personal account, the situation is not serious, but the evil arises when Fate places at the head of public affairs such a<i>soi-disant</i>know-all, who in reality knows nothing. From early youth I endeavoured to read books in the right way and I wM
as fortunate in having a good memory and intelligence to assist me. From that point of view my sojourn in Vienna was particularly useful and profitable. My daily experiences there were a constant stimulus to study the most diverse problems from new angles.</p><blockquote><p>49</p></blockquote><p>Inasmuch as I was in a position to put theory to the test of reality and reality to the test of theory, I was safe from the danger of losing myself in a haze of theories on the one hand, and of becoming superficial, on the M
other. My everyday experiences at that time made me determined to make a fundamental theoretical study of two most important questions, apart from the social question. It is impossible to say when I might have started to make a thorough study of the doctrine and characteristics of Marxism, were it not for the fact that I then literally pitched head foremost into the problem. What I knew of Social Democracy in my youth was precious little and that little was for the most part wrong. The fact that it led the struggleM
for universal suffrage and the secret ballot gave me an inner satisfaction, for my reason then told me that this would weaken the Habsburg regime, which I so thoroughly detested. I was convinced that except at the cost of sacrificing the German element, the Danubian State could not continue to exist. Even a long and steady Slavisation of the Austrian Germans would not have constituted a guarantee that the Empire would endure, because it was very questionable if, and how far, the Slays possessed the necessary capacM
ity for preserving the State as such. Therefore, I welcomed every movement that might lead towards the final disruption of that impossible State which, to continue to exist, would have to stamp out the German character in ten million people. The more this babel of tongues wrought discord and disruption, even in the parliament, the nearer did the hour approach for the dissolution of this Babylonian Empire. That would mean the liberation of my German-Austrian people and only then would it become possible for them to M
be re-united with the mother country. Accordingly, I had no feeling of antipathy towards the actual policy of the Social Democrats. That its avowed purpose was to raise the level of the working classes (which, in my ignorance, I then foolishly believed) was a further point in favour of Social Democracy rather than against it,) but the feature that contributed most to estrange me from the Social Democratic movement was its hostile attitude towards the struggle for the preservation of Germanism in Austria and its undM
ignified wooing of the Slav
who received these approaches favourably as long as any, practical advantages were forthcoming, but otherwise maintained a haughty reserve, thus giving the suitors the answer their behaviour deserved.</p><blockquote><p>50</p></blockquote><p>So it happened that, at the age of seventeen, the word
was very little known to me, while I looked on
as synonymous expressions. It was only as the result of a sudden blow from tM
he rough hand of Fate that my eyes were opened to the nature of this unparalleled system of duping the public. Hitherto my acquaintance with the Social Democratic Party had only been that of a mere spectator at some of their mass meetings. I had not the slightest idea of the Social Democratic doctrine or of the mentality of its partisans but now was suddenly brought face to face with the products of its teaching and what was called its<i>Weltanschauung</i>. In this way a few months sufficed for me to learn somethinM
g which in other circumstances might have required years of study namely, that under the cloak of social virtue and love of one
s neighbour a veritable pestilence was spreading abroad and that if this pestilence were not stamped out without delay it might eventually succeed in exterminating the human race. I first came into contact with the Social Democrats while working in the building trade. From the very moment I started work the situation was not very pleasant for me. My clothes were still rather decent, I waM
s careful of my speech and I was reserved in manner. I was so occupied with thinking of my own present lot and future prospects that I did not take much interest in my immediate surroundings. I had sought work so that I should not starve and at the same time so as to be able to make further headway with my studies, though this headway might be slow. Possibly I should not have bothered about my companions had it not been that on the third or fourth day an event occurred which forced me to take a definite stand. I waM
s called upon to join the trade-union. At that time I knew nothing about the trade-unions. I had had no opportunity of forming an opinion on their utility or inutility, as the case might be, but when I was told that I must join the union, I refused. The grounds which I gave for my refusal were simply that I knew nothing about the matter and that anyhow I would not allow myself to be forced into anything. Probably the former reason saved me from being thrown out right away.</p><blockquote><p>51</p></blockquote><p>ThM
ey probably thought that within a few days I might be converted or become more docile, but if they thought so, they were profoundly mistaken. After two weeks I found it utterly impossible for me to take such a step, even if I had been willing to take it at first. During those fourteen days I came to know my fellow workmen better, and no power in the world could have moved me to join an organisation whose representatives had meanwhile shown themselves in a light which I found so unfavourable. At first, my resentmentM
was aroused. At midday some, of my fellow, workers used to adjourn to the nearest tavern, while the others remained on the building premises and there ate their midday meal, which was in most cases a very scanty one. These were the married men whose wives brought them their midday soup in dilapidated vessels. Towards the end of the week there was a gradual increase in the number of those who remained to eat their midday meal on the building premises. I understood the reason for this afterwards. They now talked polM
itics. I drank my bottle of milk and ate my morsel of bread somewhat apart from the others, while I circumspectly studied my environment or else fell to meditating on my own harsh lot. Yet I heard more than enough, and I often thought that much of what they said was meant for my ears, in the hope of making me adopt a definite attitude, but all that I heard had the effect of arousing the strongest antagonism in me. Everything was disparaged the nation, because it was held to be an invention of the
lass (how often I had to listen to that phrase!); the Fatherland, because it was held to be an instrument in the hands of the bourgeoisie for the exploitation of the working classes; the authority of the law, because that was a means of oppressing the proletariat; the school system, as a means of training not only slaves, but also slave-drivers; religion, as a means of doping the people, in order to exploit them afterwards; morality, as the badge of stupid and sheepish docility. There was nothing that they did not M
drag in the mud. At first I remained silent, but that could not last very long. Then I began to take part in the discussion and to reply to their statements. I had to recognise, however, that this was bound to be entirely fruitless, as long as I did not have at least a certain amount of definite information about the questions that were discussed.</p><blockquote><p>52</p></blockquote><p>I therefore decided to consult the sources from which they claimed to have drawn their so-called wisdom, and, with this end in vieM
w, I studied book after book, pamphlet after pamphlet. Meanwhile, we argued with one another on the building premises. Day by day I was becoming better informed than my companions on the subjects on which they claimed to be informed. Then a day came when the more redoubtable of my adversaries resorted to the most effective weapon they had to replace the force of reason, namely, intimidation and physical force. Some of the leaders among my adversaries ordered me to leave the building or else allow myself to be flungM
off the scaffolding. As I was quite alone I could not put up any effective resistance, so I chose the first alternative and departed, having, however, learned a lesson. I went away full of disgust, but at the same time so deeply moved that it was quite impossible for me to turn my back on the whole situation and think no more about it. When my anger began to calm down, the spirit of obstinacy got the upper hand and I decided that at all costs I would get back to work again, in the building trade. This decision becM
ame all the stronger a few weeks later, when my little savings had entirely run out and hunger clutched me once again in its merciless grip. I had no alternative. I got work again and had to leave for the same reasons as before. I tortured myself with the question,
Are these men worthy to belong to a great people?
The question is profoundly disturbing, for if the answer is in the affirmative, then the struggle to defend one
s nationality is no longer worth all the trouble and sacrifice we demand of our bestM
elements if it be on behalf of such a rabble. On the other hand, if the answer is in the negative, then our nation is poor in human material. After days spent in such meditation and introspection, I was depressed and saw before my mind
s eye the ever-increasing and menacing army of people who could no longer be reckoned as belonging to their own nation.</p><blockquote><p>53</p></blockquote><p>It was with changed feelings, that, some days later, I gazed on the interminable ranks of Viennese workmen parading four M
abreast, at a mass demonstration. I stood dumbfounded for almost two hours, watching that enormous human dragon which slowly uncoiled itself there before me. When I finally left the square and wandered in the direction of my lodgings I felt dismayed and depressed. On my way I noticed the Arbeiterzeitung (
) in a tobacco shop. This was the chief press-organ of the old Austrian Social Democracy. In a cheap cafe, where the common people used to forgather and where I often went to read the papM
ers, the Arbeiterzeitung was also displayed. Hitherto I had not been able to bring myself to do more than glance at the wretched thing for a couple of minutes, for its whole tone was a sort of mental vitriol to me. Under the depressing influence of the demonstration I had witnessed, some interior voice urged me to buy the paper in that tobacco shop and read it through. So I took it home with me and spent a whole evening reading it, despite the steadily mounting rage provoked by this ceaseless outpouring of falsehooM
ds. I now found that in the social democratic daily papers I could study the inner character of this movement much better than in all their theoretical literature. What a discrepancy between the two, between the literary effusions which dealt with the theory of Social Democracy and their high-sounding phraseology about liberty, human dignity and beauty, the air of profound wisdom, the disgusting moral pose and the brazen prophetic assurance
a meticulously woven glitter of words, to dazzle and mislead the reader aM
nd, on the other hand, the daily press spreading this new doctrine of human redemption in the most vile fashion! No means was too base, provided it could be exploited in the campaign of slander. These journalists were real virtuosos in the art of twisting facts and presenting them in a deceptive form. The theoretical literature was intended for the simpletons of the<i>soi-disant</i>intelligentsia of the middle and upper classes. The newspaper propaganda was intended for the masses. This probing into books and newspM
apers and the study of the teachings of</p><blockquote><p>54</p></blockquote><p>Social Democracy reawakened my love for my own, people, and thus what at first seemed an impassable gulf became the occasion of a closer affection. Having once understood the working of the colossal system for poisoning the popular mind, only a fool could blame the victims of it. During the years that followed I became more independent, and as I did so, I became better able to understand the inner cause of the success achieved by this SM
ocial Democratic gospel. I now realised the meaning and purpose of those brutal orders which prohibited the reading of all books and newspapers that were not
and at the same time demanded that only the
meetings should be attended. In the clear light of reality I was able to see what must have been the inevitable consequences of that intolerant teaching. The mentality of the broad masses is accessible only to what is strong and uncompromising. Like woman whose inner sensibilities are not under thM
e sway of abstract reasoning, but are always subject to the influence of a vague emotional longing for the strength that completes her being, and who would rather bow to the strong man than dominate the weakling
in like manner the masses of the people prefer the ruler to the suppliant, and are well-led with a stronger sense of mental security by a teaching that brooks no rival, than by one which offers them a liberal freedom. They have very little idea of how to use that freedom, and thus they are prone to feel tM
hat they have been abandoned. They feel very little shame at being terrorised intellectually and they are scarcely conscious of the fact that their freedom as human beings is impudently abused, nor have they the slightest suspicion of the intrinsic fallacy of the whole doctrine. They see only the ruthless force and brutality of its determined utterances, to which they always submit. If Social Democracy is opposed by a more truthful teaching, then, even though the struggle be of the most bitter kind, this truthful tM
eaching will finally prevail, provided it be enforced with equal ruthlessness. Within less than two years I had gained a clear understanding of Social Democracy, its teaching and its weapons. I recognised the infamy of that technique whereby the movement carried on a campaign of mental terrorism against the bourgeoisie, which is neither morally nor spiritually equipped to withstand such attacks.</p><blockquote><p>55</p></blockquote><p>The tactics of Social Democracy consisted in opening, at a given signal, a veritaM
ble barrage of lies and calumnies against the man whom they believed to be the most redoubtable of their adversaries, until the nerves of the bourgeoisie gave way and they sacrificed the man who was attacked, simply in the hope of being allowed to live in peace. But the hope always proved to be a foolish one for they were never left in peace. The same tactics were repeated again and again, until fear of these ruthless fanatics exercised, by sheer force of suggestion, a paralysing effect on their victims. Through itM
s own experience, Social Democracy learned the value of strength and for that reason it attacks mostly those in whom it senses real mettle, which is indeed a very rare possession. On the other hand, it praises every weakling among its adversaries, more or less cautiously according to the measure of his mental qualities, known or assumed. They have less fear of a man of genius who lacks will-power, than of a vigorous character of mediocre intelligence, and at the same time they highly commend those who are devoid ofM
both intelligence and will-power. The Social Democrats know how to create the impression that they alone are the protectors of peace. In this way, acting very circumspectly, but never losing sight of their ultimate goal, they conquer one position after another, at one time by methods of quiet intimidation, and at another, by sheer daylight robbery, employing these latter tactics at those moments when public attention is turned towards other matters from which it does not wish to be diverted, or when the public conM
siders an incident too trivial to create a scandal and thus provoke the anger of a malignant opponent. These tactics are based on an accurate estimation of human frailties and must lead to success, with almost mathematical certainty, unless the other side also learns how to fight poison gas with poison gas. Weaker elements must be told that here it is a question of to be or not to be. I also came to understand that physical intimidation has its significance for the mass as well as for the individual. Here again, thM
e psychological effect has been calculated to a nicety. Intimidation in workshops and in factories, in assembly halls and at mass demonstrations, will always meet with success as long as it does not have to encounter the same kind of intimidation in a stronger form.<p><blockquote><p>56</p></blockquote><p>Then, of course, the Social Democratic Party will raise a horrified outcry and appeal to the authority of the State, which it has just repudiated and will, in most cases, quietly achieve its aim amid the general coM
nfusion, namely, to discover some bovine creature holding an important government position, who, in a vain attempt to curry favour with the dreaded opponent in case of future trouble, is ready to finish off those who dare to oppose this world enemy. The impression which such successful tactics makes on the minds of the broad masses, whether they be adherents or opponents, can be estimated only by one who knows the popular mind, not from books, but from practical life, for the successes which are thus obtained are tM
aken by the adherents of Social Democracy as a triumph of the righteousness of their own cause; on the other hand, the beaten opponent very often loses faith in the effectiveness of any further resistance. The more I understood the methods of physical intimidation that were employed, the more sympathy I had for the multitude that had succumbed to it. I am thankful now for the ordeal which I had to go through at that time; for it was the means of bringing me to think kindly again of my own people, inasmuch as the exM
perience enabled me to distinguish between the false leaders and the victims who have been led astray, for those who had been misled in this way can only be described as victims. If I attempted to give a faithful picture of those on the lowest rung of the social ladder, my picture would be incomplete, if I did not add that even in the social depths I still found light in the shape of a rare spirit of self-sacrifice and loyal comradeship, contentment and a modest reserve. This was true especially of the older generaM
tion of workmen. Although these qualities were disappearing more and more in the younger generation, owing to the all-pervading influence of the big city, yet among the younger generation also, there were many who were fundamentally sound and who were able to maintain themselves uncontaminated amid the sordid surroundings of their everyday existence. If these men, who in many cases meant well and were upright in themselves, were, as far as their political activities were concerned, in the ranks of the mortal enemy M
of our people, that was because they, as decent work-people did not and could not grasp the downright infamy of the doctrine taught by the socialist agitators.</p><blockquote><p>57</p></blockquote><p>Furthermore, it was because no other section of the community bothered itself about the lot of the working classes, and social conditions finally proved more powerful than any feelings which might have led them to adopt a different attitude. A day was bound to come when want gained the upper hand and drove them to joinM
, the Social Democrats. On innumerable occasions the bourgeoisie took a definite stand against even the most legitimate human demands of the working classes. This line of conduct was not only ill-judged and indeed immoral, but the bourgeoisie did not even stand to gain by it. The result was that even the honest workman abandoned the original concept of the trade-union organisation and was dragged into politics. There were millions of workmen who began by being hostile to the Social Democratic Party, but their defenM
ces were repeatedly stormed and finally they had to surrender. Yet this defeat was due to the stupidity of the bourgeois parties, who had opposed every social demand put forward by the working classes. The short-sighted refusal to support attempts to improve labour conditions, the refusal to adopt measures for the prevention of accidents in the factories, the refusal to forbid child labour, the refusal to consider protective measures for female workers, especially expectant mothers
all this was of assistance to tM
he Social Democratic leaders, who were thankful for every opportunity which they could exploit for forcing the masses into their net. Our bourgeois parties can never repair the damage that resulted from the mistake they then made, for they sowed the seeds of hatred when they opposed all efforts at social, reform and thus, to all outward appearances, at least, lent colour to the claim put forward by the arch-enemy of our people: that only the Social Democrats protected. In this way it provided the moral justificatioM
n of the actual existence of the trade-union, which was, from the outset, the chief political recruiting ground for the Social Democratic Party. During those years in Vienna, I was forced, whether I liked it or not, to decide on the attitude I should take towards the trade-union. Because I looked upon them as inseparable from the Social Democratic Party, my decision was hasty and mistaken.</p><blockquote><p>58</p></blockquote><p>I repudiated them as a matter of course, but on this, essential question, too, Fate intM
ervened and gave me a lesson, with the result that I changed the opinion which I had first formed. When I was twenty years old I had learned to distinguish between the trade-union as a means of defending the social rights of the employees and of fighting for better living conditions for them and, on the other hand, the trade-union as a political instrument used by the party in the class struggle. The fact that the Social Democrats grasped the enormous importance of the trade-union movement, secured for them a weapoM
n which they used with success, whereas the bourgeois parties by their failure to understand it, lost their political prestige. They thought that their own arrogant
would arrest the logical development of the movement, but what they actually did was to produce an illogical development. It is absurd and also untrue to say that the trade-union movement was in itself hostile to the nation. To maintain the opposite would be more correct. If the activities of the trade-union are directed towards improving theM
condition of a class, which is a mainstay of the nation, and succeed in doing so, such activities are not directed against the Fatherland or the State but are, in the truest sense of the word, national. In that way, the trade-union organisation helps to create the social conditions which are indispensable in a general system of national education. It deserves high recognition when it destroys the psychological and physical germs of social disease and thus contributes to the general welfare of the nation. It is, thM
erefore, superfluous to ask whether the trade-union is indispensable. So long as there are employers who lack social understanding and have false ideas of justice and fair play, it is not only the right, but also the duty, of their employees (who are, after all, an integral part of our people) to protect the general interests against the greed and unreason of the individual. To safeguard the loyalty and confidence of the people is as much in the interests of the nation as to safeguard public health. Both are seriouM
sly menaced by dishonourable employers who are not conscious of their duty as members of the national community. Their personal avidity or ruthlessness sows the seeds of future trouble. To eliminate the causes of such a development is an action that deserves the approbation of the country, and not the reverse.</p><blockquote><p>59</p></blockquote><p>It is useless to argue that the individual workman is free at any time to escape from the consequences of an injustice which he has actually suffered, or thinks he has M
suffered, at the hands of an employer
in other words, he can leave. That argument is only a ruse to distract attention from the question at issue. Is it, or is it not, in the interests of the nation to remove the causes of social unrest? If it is, then the fight must be carried on with the only weapons that promise success. The individual workman is never in a position to stand up against the might of the big employer, for the question here is not one that concerns the triumph of right since, if right had been reM
cognised as the guiding principle, the conflict could not have arisen at all. But here it is a question of who is the stronger. If it were otherwise, a sense of justice would, in itself, lead to an honourable settlement of the dispute, or, to put the case more correctly, such a dispute would never have arisen. If unsocial and dishonourable treatment of men provokes resistance, then the stronger party will win through in the conflict, until the constitutional legislative authorities do away with the evil through legM
islation. Therefore it is evident that, only if the individual workmen combine against the individual employer as representing the concentrated force of the undertaking, can they hope not to be doomed to defeat from the outset. Thus the trade-unions can help to inculcate and strengthen a sense of social responsibility in daily life and open the way to practical results. In doing this they tend to remove those causes of friction which are a continual source of discontent and complaint. The blame for the fact that thM
e trade-unions do not fulfil this much-desired function must be laid at the doors of those who barred the road to legislative social reform, or rendered such a reform ineffective by sabotaging it through their political influence. Since the political bourgeoisie failed to understand
or, rather, did not wish to understand
the importance of the trade-union movement, the Social Democrats seized the advantage offered them by this mistaken policy and took the trade-unions under their exclusive protection, without anM
y protest from the other side.</p><blockquote><p>60</p></blockquote><p>In this way they established for themselves a solid bulwark behind which they could safely retire whenever the struggle assumed a critical aspect. Thus the genuine purpose of the movement gradually fell into oblivion, and was replaced by new objectives, for the Social Democrats never have, the slightest intention of upholding the original purpose for which the trade-union movement was founded. Within a, few decades the trade-union movement was tM
ransformed, by the expert hand of Social Democracy, from an instrument which had been originally fashioned for the defence of human rights into an instrument for the destruction of the national economic structure. The interests of the working class were not for one moment permitted to interfere with this aim, for, in the political sphere the application of economic pressure always renders extortion, successful, if the one side be sufficiently unscrupulous and the other sufficiently inert and docile. In this case boM
th these conditions were fulfilled. By the beginning of the present century the trade-unionist movement had already ceased to serve the purpose for which it had been founded. From year to year it fell more and more under the political control of the Social Democrats, until it finally came to be used solely as a battering-ram in the class struggle. The plan was to shatter, by means of constantly repeated blows, the economic edifice on the building of which so much time and care had been expended. Once this objectiveM
had been reached, the destruction of the State would become easier, because the State would already have been deprived of its economic foundations. It became less and less a question of protecting the real interests of the workers, until political acumen no longer deemed it advisable to supply the social and cultural needs of the broad masses, Since there was a danger that if these masses once felt content they could no longer be employed as mere passive material in the political struggle. The, mere prospect of suM
ch a development caused such anxiety among the leaders in the class-warfare, that they eventually rejected and inveighed against every genuinely beneficial social reform, and conditions were such that these leaders did not have to trouble to justify such an illogical policy.</p><blockquote><p>61</p></blockquote><p>As the masses were taught to increase and raise their demands, the possibility of satisfying them dwindled, and whatever ameliorative measures were taken seemed less and less significant, so that it was aM
lways possible to persuade the masses that this ridiculous degree in which the most sacred claims of the working classes were being granted, represented a diabolical plane to weaken their fighting power and, if possible, to paralyse it. In view of the limited thinking capacity of the broad masses, the success achieved is not to be wondered at. In the bourgeois camp there was high indignation over the dishonesty of the Social Democratic tactics, but not even the most tentative steps were taken to lay down guiding prM
inciples for their own line of conduct in the light of this. The refusal of the Social Democrats, to improve the miserable living conditions of the working classes, ought to have induced the bourgeois parties to make the most energetic efforts in this direction and to snatch from the hands of the class-warfare leaders their most precious weapon; but nothing of this kind happened. Instead of attacking the position of its adversaries the bourgeoisie allowed itself to be pressed and hurried. Finally, it adopted means M
that were so tardy and so insignificant that they were ineffective and were rejected. So the whole situation remained just as it had been before the bourgeois intervention, except that the discontent had increased. Like a threatening storm, the
hung above the political horizon and overshadowed the life of each individual, It was one of the most frightful instruments of terror that threatened the security and independence of the national economic structure, the stability of the State and the lM
iberty of the individual. Above all, it was the
that turned democracy into a ridiculous term, insulted the ideal of liberty and derided that of fraternity with the slogan,
t become one of us, we
ll crack your skull.
Thus did I come to know this friend of humanity. During the years that followed, my knowledge was widened and deepened, but I never felt called upon to alter my original opinion. The more became acquainted with the external forms of Social Democracy, the greatM
er became my desire to understand the inner nature of its doctrines.</p><blockquote><p>62</p></blockquote><p>For this purpose the official literature of the party was of little use. In discussing economic questions, its statements were false and its proofs unsound. In treating of political aims its attitude was insincere. Furthermore, its modern methods of chicanery in the presentation of its arguments were profoundly repugnant to me. Its flamboyant sentences, its obscure and incomprehensible phrases, pretended to M
contain great thoughts, but they were devoid of meaning. One would have had to be a decadent Bohemian in one of our modern cities in order to feel at home in that labyrinth of nonsense, or enjoy
intimate experiences
amid the stinking fumes of this literary Dadaism. These writers were obviously counting on the proverbial humility of a certain section of our people, who believe that a person who is incomprehensible must be profoundly wise. By comparing the theoretical falsity and absurdity of that doctrine withM
the reality of its external manifestations, I gradually came to have a clear idea of its final aims. During such moments I had dark presentiments and feared something evil. I had before me a teaching inspired by egotism and hatred, calculated to win its victory, the winning of which would be a mortal blow to humanity. Meanwhile, I had discovered the relationship existing between this destructive teaching and the specific character of a people, who up to that time had been to me almost unknown. Knowledge of the JewM
s is the only key to a true understanding of the inner nature, and, therefore, the real aims, of Social Democracy. The man who has come to know this race has succeeded in removing from his eyes the veil through which he had seen the aims and meaning of this party in a false light; then, out of the murk and fog of socialist talk rises the grimacing spectre of Marxism. To-day it is hard, and almost impossible, for me to say when the word
first began to have any particular significance for me. I do not rememM
ber ever having heard the word at home during my father
s lifetime. If this word had been used with a particular inflection I think the old gentleman would have considered those who used it in this way as being
</p><blockquote><p>63</p></blockquote><p>In the course of his career he had, despite his pronounced nationalist tendencies, come to be more or less of a cosmopolitan, and this had not been without its effect on me. In school, too, I found no reason to alter the picture I had formed aM
t home. At the<i>Realschule</i>I knew one Jewish boy. We were all on our guard in our relations with him, but only because his reticence and certain actions of his warned us to be discreet. Beyond that, my companions and myself formed no particular opinion regarding him. It was not until I was fourteen or fifteen years old that I frequently ran up against the word
partly in connection with political controversies. These references aroused a slight aversion in me, and I could not avoid an uncomfortable feM
eling which always came over me when I had to listen to religious disputes. But, at that time, I did not see the Jewish question in any other light. There were very few Jews in Linz. In the course of centuries the Jews who lived there had become Europeanized and so civilised in appearance that I even looked upon them as Germans. The reason why I did not then perceive the absurdity of such an illusion was that the only thing which I recognised as distinguishing them from us was the practice of their strange religionM
. As I thought that they were persecuted on account of their faith my aversion to hearing remarks against them grew almost into a feeling of horror. I did not in the least suspect that there could be such a thing as systematic anti-Semitism. Such were the views I held when I went to Vienna. Confused by the mass of impressions I received from the architectural surroundings, and depressed by my own troubles, I did not at first distinguish between the different social strata of which the population of that mammoth citM
y was composed. Although Vienna then had about two hundred thousand Jews among its population of two millions, I did not notice them. During the first weeks of my sojourn, my eyes and my mind were unable to cope with the onrush of new ideas and values. Not until I had gradually settled down in my new surroundings, and the confused picture began to grow clearer, did I gain a closer insight into my new world, and with that I came up against the Jewish problem.</p><blockquote><p>64</p></blockquote><p>I will not say thM
at the manner in which I first became acquainted with it was particularly pleasant. In the Jew I still saw a man who was of a different religion, and, therefore, on grounds of human tolerance, I was against the idea that he should be attacked because he had a different faith. Consequently I considered that the tone adopted by the anti-Semitic press in Vienna was unworthy of the cultural traditions of a great people. The memory of certain events which happened in the Middle Ages came to my mind, and I felt that I shM
ould not like to see them repeated. Generally speaking, these anti-Semitic newspapers were not regarded as belonging to the first rank (but I did not then understand the reason of this) and so I regarded them as the products of jealousy and envy rather than as the expression of a sincere, though wrong-headed, feeling. My own opinions were confirmed by what I considered to be the infinitely more dignified manner in which the really important papers replied to these attacks or simply ignored them, which latter seemedM
to me the better way. I diligently read what was generally called the world press
<i>Neue Freie Presse, Wiener Tageblatt</i>, etc.
and I was astonished by the abundance of information these gave their readers and the impartial way in which they presented particular problems. I appreciated their dignified tone, although sometimes the flamboyancy of the style was unconvincing, and I did not like it. All this, however, might be attributed to the atmosphere of the metropolis. Since, at that time, I considered VienM
na to be such, I thought this constituted sufficient grounds to excuse these shortcomings of the press, but I was frequently disgusted by the grovelling way in which the Viennese press played lackey to the Court. Scarcely a move took place at the Hofburg which was not presented in glorified colours to the readers. There was such a fuss, especially when it was a question of
the wisest monarch of all times,
that one was reminded of the antics of the mountain-cock at mating time. It all seemed artificial, and toM
my mind, unworthy of liberal democracy. I thought that this cheap way of currying favour at the Court belittled the dignity of the nation, and that was the first shadow that fell on my appreciation of the great Viennese press.</p><blockquote><p>65</p></blockquote><p>While in Vienna I continued to follow with a vivid interest all the events that were taking place in Germany, whether connected with political or with cultural questions. I had a feeling of pride and admiration when I compared the rise of the young GerM
man Reich with the decline of the Austrian State. But, although the foreign policy of that Reich was a source of real pleasure on the whole, the internal political happenings were not always so satisfactory. I did not approve of the campaign which, at that time, was being carried on against Wilhelm II. I looked upon him not only as the German Emperor but, above all, as the creator of the German Navy. The fact that the Emperor was prohibited by the Reichstag from making political speeches, made me very angry, becausM
e the prohibition came from a quarter which, in my eyes, had no reason for doing so, for at a single sitting those same parliamentary ganders did more cackling than the whole dynasty of emperors, including even the weakest, could have done in the course of centuries. It annoyed me to have to acknowledge that in a nation where any halfwitted fellow could claim for himself the right to criticise and might even be let loose on the people as a
in the Reichstag, the wearer of the Imperial Crown could beM
on the part of the most miserable assembly of drivellers that had ever existed. I was even more disgusted at the way in which this same Viennese press<i>salaamed</i>obsequiously before the meanest steed belonging to the Habsburg royal stables and went off into wild ecstasies of delight if the nag wagged its tail in response. At the same time these newspapers took up an attitude of anxiety in matters that concerned the German Emperor, trying to cloak their enmity by the serious air M
of concern which they assumed. Naturally, they protested that they had no intention of interfering in Germany
God forbid! They pretended that by touching a delicate spot in such a friendly way they were fulfilling a duty that devolved upon them by reason of the mutual alliance between the two countries and at the same time discharging their obligations of journalistic truthfulness. Having thus excused themselves about tenderly touching a sore spot, they probed the wound ruthlessly.</p><blockqM
uote><p>66</p></blockquote><p>That sort of thing made my blood boil, and now I began to be more and more on my guard when reading the great Viennese press. I had to acknowledge however, that on such subjects, one of the anti-Semitic papers
<i>Deutsches Volksblatt</i>
acted with more dignity. What got still more on my nerves was the repugnant manner in which the big newspapers cultivated admiration for France. One really had to feel ashamed of being a German when confronted by those mellifluous hymns of praise fM
the great cultured nation.
This wretched Gallomania more often than once made me throw away one of these newspapers belonging to the
I now often turned to the<i>Volksblatt</i>, which was much smaller in size, but which treated such subjects more decently I was not in accord with its sharply anti-Semitic tone, but again and again I found that its arguments gave me food for serious thought. Anyhow it was as a result of such reading that I came to know the man and the movement which then deM
termined the fate of Vienna. These were Dr. Karl Lueger and the Christian Socialist Party. At the time I went to Vienna I felt opposed to both. I looked on both the man and the movement as reactionary. But even an elementary sense of justice forced me to change my opinion when I had an opportunity of knowing the man and his work; and slowly that opinion grew into outspoken admiration when I had better grounds for forming a judgment. To-day, as well as then, I respect Dr. Karl Lueger as the most eminent type of GermM
an<i>Burgomaster</i>. How many prejudices were overcome through such a change in my attitude towards the Christian Socialist Movement! My ideas about anti-Semitism changed also in the course of time, but that was the change which I found most difficult. It cost me a great internal conflict with myself, and it was only after months of struggle between reason and sentiment that the former gained the victory. Two years later sentiment rallied to the side of reason and became a faithful guardian and counsellor. At the M
time of this bitter inner struggle between calm reason and the sentiments in which I had been brought up, the lessons that I learned on the streets of Vienna were of invaluable assistance.</p><blockquote><p>67</p></blockquote><p>A time came when I no longer passed blindly along the streets of the mighty city, as I had done in the early days, but now with my eyes open, not only in order to study the buildings, but also the human beings. Once, when passing through the oldest part of the city, I suddenly encountered aM
creature in a long caftan and wearing black sidelocks. My first thought was, is this, then, a Jew? They certainly did not have this appearance in Linz. I watched the man stealthily and cautiously, but the longer I gazed at that strange countenance and examined it feature by feature, the more the question shaped itself in my brain,
Is this, then, a German?
As was always my habit with such experiences, I turned to books for help in removing my doubts. For the first time in my life I bought myself some anti-SemM
itic pamphlets, for a few pence, but unfortunately they all began with the assumption that the reader had at least a certain degree of information on the Jewish question or was even familiar with it. Moreover, the tone of most of these pamphlets was such that I became doubtful again, because the statements made were partly superficial and the proofs extraordinarily unconvincing. For weeks, and indeed for months, I returned to my old way of thinking. The subject appeared so enormous and the accusations were so far-rM
eaching that I was afraid of being unjust and so I became again anxious and uncertain. Naturally, I could no longer doubt that here it was not a question of Germans who happened to be of a different religion, but rather that it was a question of an entirely different people, for as soon as I began to investigate the matter and observe the Jews, Vienna appeared to me in a different light. Wherever I now went, I saw Jews, and the more I saw of them the more strikingly and clearly they stood out as different from the M
other citizens. Especially the old part of the city and the district north of the Danube Canal swarmed with a people who, even in outer appearance bore no similarity to the Germans. Any indecision which I may still have felt about that point was finally removed by the activities of a certain section of the Jews themselves.</p><blockquote><p>68</p></blockquote><p>A great movement, called Zionism, the aim of which was to assert the national character of Judaism, was strongly represented in Vienna. To all outward appeM
arances it seemed as if only one group of Jews championed this movement, while the great majority disapproved of it, or even repudiated it, but a closer investigation of the situation showed that since that part of Jewry which was styled
did not disown the Zionists as if they were not member of their race, but rather as brother Jews who publicly professed their faith in an unpractical, and even, dangerous way, there was no real rift in their internal solidarity. This fictitious conflict between the ZiM
Jews soon disgusted me; for it was false through and through and therefore in direct contradiction to the moral dignity and immaculate character on which that race had always prided itself. Cleanliness, whether moral or of another kind, had its own peculiar meaning for these people. That they were water-shy was obvious on looking at them and, unfortunately, very often even when not looking at them. The odour of those people in caftans often used to make me feel ill. Apart from that thereM
were the unkempt clothes and the ignoble exterior. All these details were certainly not attractive, but the revolting feature was that beneath their unclean exterior one suddenly perceived the moral mildew of the chosen race. What soon gave me food for serious thought was the insight which I gradually gained into the activities of the Jews in certain walks of life. Was there any shady undertaking, any form of, foulness, especially in cultural life, in which at least one Jew did not participate? On probing to the hM
eart of this kind of abomination, one discovered, like a maggot in a rotten body, a tiny Jew, who was apt to be blinded when thus exposed to the light of day. In my eyes the charge against Judaism became a grave one the moment I discovered the scope of Jewish activities in the press, in art, in literature and in the theatre. All unctuous protests were now more or less futile. One needed only to look at the posters and to study the names of the authors of the appalling productions advertised as being performed in thM
e cinemas and theatres, in order to become hardened against the Jews.</p><blockquote><p>69</p></blockquote><p>Here was a pestilence, a moral pestilence, with which the public was being infected. It was worse than the black plague of long ago. And in what doses this poison was manufactured and distributed! Naturally, the lower the moral and intellectual level of such an author of
products, the more inexhaustible his fecundity, and at times it even seemed as though these creatures turned out their stufM
f like machines and hurled it at the public. In this connection we must remember there is no limit to the number of such writers. One ought to realise that for one Goethe, Nature may bring into existence ten thousand such scribblers who act as the worst kind of germ-carriers in poisoning human soul. It was a terrible thought, and yet one which could not be overlooked, that the greater number of the Jews seemed specially destined by Nature to play this shameful part. Was it for this reason that they were called the M
chosen people? I then began to investigate carefully the names of all the fabricators of these unclean products which played such a big part in the cultural life of the public. The result of that investigation was still more unfavourable to the attitude which I had hitherto held in regard to the Jews. Though my feelings might rebel a thousand times, reason now had to draw its own conclusions. The fact that nine-tenths of all the
literature, artistic
and theatrical banalities, had to be charM
ged to the account of a people who formed scarcely one percent of the nation could not be gainsaid. It was there and had to be admitted. Then I began to examine my favourite
with that fact before my mind. The deeper I probed, the more did the object of my former admiration lose its glory. Its style became still more repellent and I was forced to reject its subject-matter as entirely shallow and superficial. Its impartial attitude in the presentation of facts and views seemed to me to contain moreM
falsehood than truth. The writers were
Jews. Thousands of details that I had scarcely noticed before seemed to me now to deserve attention. I began to grasp and understand things which had formerly puzzled me. I saw the liberal policy of that press in another light.</p><blockquote><p>70</p></blockquote><p>Its dignified tone in replying to the attacks of its adversaries and its dead silence in other cases now became clear to me as part of a cunning and despicable way of deceiving the readers. Its brilliant theatrM
ical criticisms always praised the Jewish authors and its adverse criticism was reserved exclusively for the Germans. The slight pin-pricks against Wilhelm II showed the persistency of its policy, just as did its systematic commendation of French culture and civilisation. The subject-matter of the serial was trivial and often indecent. The language of this press as a whole had the accent of a foreign people. The general tone was so openly derogatory to the Germans that this must have been definitely intentional. ToM
whose interest was this? Or was it mere chance? In attempting to find an answer to these questions I gradually became more and more dubious. The process was hastened by glimpses which I gained of another aspect of the case, namely, the general conception of manners and morals which was openly upheld and put into practice by a large section of the Jews. Here again the life which I observed in the streets taught me by living example. The part which the Jews played in the evil of prostitution, and more especially in M
the white slave traffic, could be studied here better than in any other Western European city, with the possible exception of certain ports in Southern France. Walking by night along the streets of the Leopoldstadt, almost at every turn, whether one wished it or not, one witnessed certain incidents of which the majority of Germans knew nothing until the War made it possible, and indeed inevitable, for the soldiers to see such things on the Eastern front. A cold shiver ran down my spine when I first ascertained thatM
it was the cold-blooded and shameless Jew who showed his consummate skill in conducting a sordid and vicarious trade among the dregs of the big city. Then I was filled with wrath. I had now no more hesitation about investigating the Jewish problem in all its details. Henceforth, I was determined to do so, but as I learned to track down the Jew in all the different spheres of cultural and artistic life, and in the various manifestations of this life everywhere, I suddenly came upon him where I had least expected toM
find him.</p><blockquote><p>71</p></blockquote><p>I now realised that the Jews were the leaders of Social Democracy. In the face of that revelation the scales fell from my eyes. My long inner struggle was at an end. In my relations with my fellow-workmen I was often astonished to find how easily and how often they changed their opinions on the same question, sometimes within a few days and sometimes even within the course of a few hours. I found it difficult to understand how men, who always had reasonable ideas wM
hen I spoke to them as individuals, suddenly lost this reasonableness the moment they came under the influence of the mass. I was often on the verge of despair. When, after talking to them for hours, I was convinced that I had, at last broken the ice or made them see the error of their way of thinking, and was sincerely pleased, I would often find to my disgust that next day I had to begin all over again. All my efforts had been in vain. With pendulum-like regularity they swung back to their original opinions. I waM
s able to understand their position fully. They were dissatisfied with their lot and cursed the fate which had hit them so hard. They hated their employers, whom they looked upon as the heartless agents of their cruel destiny. Often they used abusive language against the public officials, whom they accused of having no sympathy with the situation of the working people. They made public demonstrations against the cost of living and paraded through the streets in defence of their claims. At least all this could be exM
plained in the light of reason, but what was impossible to understand was the boundless hatred they expressed against their own fellow-citizens, how they disparaged their own nation, mocked at its greatness, reviled its history and dragged the names of its most illustrious men in the gutter. This hostility towards their own kith and kin, their own native land and home was as irrational as it was incomprehensible. It was against Nature. One could cure that malady temporarily, but only for some days, or at most for sM
ome weeks, but on meeting those whom one believed to have been converted one found that they had reverted to their old way of thinking and were again the prey of perverse opinions.</p><blockquote><p>72</p></blockquote><p>I gradually discovered that the Social Democratic press was mainly controlled by Jews, but I did not attach special importance to this circumstance, for the same was true of other newspapers. In this connection there was, however, one striking fact, namely, that there was not a single newspaper witM
h which Jews were connected that could be spoken of as
in the sense that I, with my education and convictions, used that word. Making an effort to overcome my natural reluctance, I tried to read articles published in the Marxist press. However, as my aversion increased tenfold, I set about learning something of the people who wrote and published this mischievous stuff
from the publisher downwards, all of them were Jews! I got hold of as many Social Democratic pamphlets as I could and looked up the M
names of the authors
Jews all! I noted the names of nearly all their leaders and most of them belonged to the chosen race, whether they were members of the<i>Reichsrat</i>(Imperial Council), trade-union secretaries, chairmen of various organisations or street agitators. Everywhere the same sinister picture presented itself. I shall never forget the list of names
Austerlitz, David, Adler, Ellenbogen, and others. One fact became quite evident to me, namely, that this alien race held in its hand the leadership of M
that Social Democratic Party with whose minor representatives I had been disputing for months past. I was happy at last to know for certain that the Jew was not a German. Thus I learnt to know thoroughly those who were leading our people astray. One year in Vienna had sufficed to convince me that no worker is so rooted in his pre-conceived notions that he will not surrender them in face of better and clearer arguments and explanations. Gradually I became an expert in the doctrine of the Marxists and used this knowlM
edge as an instrument to drive home my own firm convictions. I was successful in nearly every case. The great masses can be rescued, but a lot of time and a great deal of patience must be devoted to such work.</p><blockquote><p>73</p></blockquote><p>A Jew, on the other hand, can never be rescued from his fixed notions. I was then simple enough to attempt to show them the absurdity of their teaching. Within my small circle I talked to them until my throat ached and my voice grew hoarse. I believed that I could finalM
ly convince them of the danger inherent in the Marxist nonsense. But I achieved the very opposite. It seemed to me that a growing insight into the disastrous effects of the Social Democratic doctrine in theory and in practice only served to strengthen their opposition. The more I debated with them the more familiar I became with their tactics in debate. At the outset they counted upon the stupidity of their opponents; but when they got so entangled that they could not find a way out, they played the trick of actingM
the innocent simpleton. Should they fail, in spite of their tricks of logic, they acted as if they could not understand the counter-arguments and feeling themselves cornered, hastily transferred the discussion to another field. They uttered truisms and platitudes; and, if you accepted these, took this acceptance as applying to other problems and matters differing essentially from the original theme. If you cornered them on this point they would escape again, and you could not force them to make any precise statemeM
nt. Whenever one tried, to get a firm grip on any of these apostles, one
s hand grasped only a slimy jelly which slipped through the fingers, but coagulated again a moment afterwards. If your arguments were so telling that your adversary felt forced to give in on account of those listening and if you then thought that at last you had gained ground, a surprise was in store for you on the following day. The Jew would be utterly oblivious to what had happened the day before, and he would start once again by repeatinM
g his former absurdities, and if nothing had happened. Should you become indignant and remind him of yesterday
s defeat, he pretended astonishment and could not remember anything, except that on the previous day he had proved that his statements were correct.</p><blockquote><p>74</p></blockquote><p>Sometimes I was dumbfounded. I do not know what amazed me the more
their quickness in repartee or the artful way in which they dressed up their falsehoods. I gradually came to hate them. Yet all this had its good siM
de, because the better I came to know the real leaders, or at least the propagators of Social Democracy, the more did my love for my own people increase accordingly. Considering the satanic skill which these evil counsellors displayed, who could blame their unfortunate victims? Indeed, I found it extremely difficult to prove a match for the dialectic perfidy of that race. How futile was it to try to win over such people, seeing that they distorted the truth, denied the very words they had just uttered and used themM
again a few moments afterwards to serve their own ends in argument! The better I came to know the Jew, the easier it was to excuse the workers. In my opinion the, most culpable were not to be found among the workers, but rather among those who did not think it worthwhile to take the trouble to sympathise with these, and in accordance with the iron law of justice to give to the hard-working son of the people what was his, while at the same time executing his seducer and corrupter. Moved by my own daily experiences,M
I now began to investigate more thoroughly the sources of the Marxist teaching itself. Its effects were well known to me in detail, one needed only a little imagination in order to be able to forecast the inevitable consequences. The only question now was,
Did the founders foresee the effects of their work in the form which it was eventually to assume, or were the founders themselves the victims of an error?
To my mind both, alternatives were possible. If the second question had to be answered in the affirmaM
tive, then it was the duty of every thinking person to push his way into the forefront of this sinister movement with a view to preventing it from producing the worst possible results.</p><blockquote><p>75</p></blockquote><p>But if it were the first question which had to be answered in the affirmative, then it must be admitted that the original authors of this evil which has infected the nations were devils incarnate, for only the brain of a monster, and not that of a man, could plan an organisation whose activitieM
s must finally bring about the collapse of human civilisation and turn this world into a desert waste. Such being the case, the only alternative left was to fight, and in that fight to employ all the weapons which the human spirit, human intellect and human will could furnish, leaving it to Fate to decide in whose favour the balance should tilt. I began to gather information about the authors of this teaching, with a view to studying the principles of the movement. The fact that I attained my object sooner than I cM
ould have anticipated as due to the insight into the Jewish question which I had recently gained, slight though it was. This newly acquired knowledge alone enabled me to make a practical comparison between reality and the theoretical talk of the founders of Social Democracy, because I now understood the language of the Jew. I realised that the Jew uses language for the purpose of dissimulating his thoughts or at least veiling them, so that his real aim cannot be discovered in his words, but rather by reading betweeM
n the lines. This was the moment at which my opinions underwent the greatest transformation which I had as yet experienced; from being a soft-hearted cosmopolitan I became ardently anti-Semitic. Only on one further occasion, and that for the last time: did I give way to oppressing thoughts which caused me some moments of profound anxiety. As I critically reviewed the activities of the Jewish people throughout long periods of history I became perplexed and asked myself whether, for inscrutable reasons beyond the comM
prehension of poor mortals such as ourselves, Destiny might not have irrevocably decreed that the final victory should go to this small people? May it not be that this people which lives only for the things of this earth has been promised the earth as a reward? Have we, from the objective point of view, a right to fight for self-preservation, or is this right subjective? Fate answered the question for me inasmuch as it led me to make a detached and exhaustive inquiry into the Marxist teaching and the activities of M
the Jewish people in connection with it.</p><blockquote><p>76</p></blockquote><p>The Jewish doctrine of Marxism repudiates the aristocratic principle of Nature and substitutes for the eternal right of might and strength, the dead weight of sheer numbers. Thus it denies the individual worth of the human personality, disputes the teaching that nationality and race are of primary significance, and by doing this deprives Man of the very foundations of his existence and civilisation. If the Marxist teaching were to be aM
ccepted as the foundation of the life of the universe, it would lead to the disappearance of all order that is conceivable to the human mind, and thus the adoption of such a law would provoke chaos in the structure of the greatest organism that we know, with the result that the inhabitants of this earthly planet would finally disappear. Should the Jew, with the aid of his Marxist creed, triumph over the peoples of this world, his crown will be the funeral, wreath of mankind, and this planet will once again follow iM
ts orbit through ether, devoid of human life, as it did millions of years ago. Nature, the eternal, takes merciless vengeance on those who defy her laws. Therefore, I believe to-day that my conduct is in accordance with the will of the Almighty Creator. In resisting the Jew I am defending the handiwork of the Lord.</p><blockquote><p>77</p></blockquote><blockquote><p>78</p></blockquote><blockquote><p>79</p></blockquote><blockquote><p>80</p></blockquote><h1 id="chapter-iii-viennadaysgeneral-reflections">CHAPTER III: M

adopt a definite attitude towards each. Only after he has acquired a fundamental<i>Weltanschauung</i>and thereby gained stability in the judgment he forms on specific problems of the day, is a man, having now reached maturity, at least of mind, qualified to participate in the government of the community. If this is not so, lie runs the risk of discovering that he has to alter the attitude which he had hitherto adopted with regard to essential questions, or, despite his superior knowledge and insight, he may have tM
o remain loyal to a point of view which his reason and convictions have now led him to reject. If he adopts the former line of action he will find himself in a difficult situation, because in giving up a position hitherto maintained he will appear inconsistent and will have no right to expect his followers to remain as loyal to him as leader as they were before. This change of attitude on the part of the leader means that his adherents are assailed by doubt and not infrequently by a sense of discomfiture as far as M
their former opponents are concerned. Although he himself no longer dreams of standing by his political pronouncements to the last
for no man will die in defence of what he does not believe
he makes increasing and shameless demands on his followers. Finally, he throws aside the last vestiges of true leadership and becomes a
This means that he becomes one of those whose only consistency lies in their inconsistency, which is accompanied by overbearing insolence and oftentimes by an artful mendacM
ity developed to a shamelessly high degree.</p><blockquote><p>81</p></blockquote><p>Should such a person, to the misfortune of all decent people, succeed in becoming a member of parliament, it will be clear from the outset that for him the essence of political activity consists in a heroic struggle to retain his hold on this sinecure as a source of livelihood for himself and his family. The more his wife and children are dependent on him, the more stubbornly will he fight to maintain for himself the representation M
of his parliamentary constituency. For that reason any other person who shows evidence of political ability is his personal enemy. In every new movement he will apprehend the possible beginning of his own downfall, and everyone who is a better man than he will appear to him in the light of a menace. I shall subsequently deal more fully with the problem to which this kind of parliamentary vermin gives rise. When a man has reached his thirtieth year he has still a great deal to learn, but henceforward what he learns M
will serve to fill up the framework of that fundamental<i>Weltanschauung</i>which he already possesses. What he learns anew will not imply the abandonment of principles already held, but rather a deeper knowledge of those principles, and thus his colleagues will never have the disconcerting feeling that he has misled them hitherto. On the contrary, their confidence is increased when they perceive that their leader
s qualities are steadily developing since his newly acquired knowledge serves to enrich the doctrineM
s in which they themselves believe. In their eyes every such development is fresh proof of the correctness of the opinions which they had hitherto held. A leader who has to abandon his general<i>Weltanschauung</i>, because he recognises its foundation to be false, acts honourably only if he admits the wrongness of his views and is prepared to bear the consequences. In such a case he ought to refrain from taking a public part in any further political activity. Having once gone astray in essential matters he may possM
ibly go astray a second time, but anyhow he has no right whatsoever to expect or demand that his fellow-citizens should continue to give him their support. How little such an honourable line of conduct commends itself to our public leaders nowadays is proved by the general corruption prevalent among the rabble which at the present moment feels itself called upon to play the politician.</p><blockquote><p>82</p></blockquote><p>There is scarcely one among them who has been chosen for this task. If he adopts the secondM
alternative, the result will be one which is not uncommon to-day. In the same degree in which the leader no longer believes in what he himself says, his defence of his cause will be superficial and without conviction but, on the other hand, he will stoop to the use of base weapons. Although in those days I used to give more time than most others to the consideration of political questions, yet I carefully refrained from taking a public part in politics. Only to a small circle did I speak of those things which agitM
ated my mind or were the cause of my constant preoccupation. The habit of discussing matters within such a restricted group had many advantages in itself. Rather than learning to deliver speeches I learned to know the people and their often very primitive views and protests. At the same time I waste no opportunity of extending my own education and in those days no city in Germany could have offered me more possibilities for this than did Vienna. In the old Danubian Monarchy, political interests were more comprehensM
ive and more broad-minded than in the Germany of that epoch, excepting certain parts of Prussia, Hamburg and the districts bordering on the North Sea. When I speak of Austria here, I mean that part of the great Habsburg Empire which, by reason of its German population, furnished not only the historic basis for the formation of this State, but whose population had for centuries been the sole source of its strength and had given that politically artificial structure its internal cultural life. As time went on the staM
bility of the Austrian State and the guarantee of its continued existence depended more and more on the preservation of this germ-cell of the Habsburg Empire. Just as the hereditary imperial provinces constituted the heart of the Empire, and just as it was this heart that constantly sent the blood of life pulsating through the whole political and cultural system, so Vienna was its brain and its will. At that time Vienna presented an appearance which made one think of her as an enthroned queen whose authoritative swM
ay united the conglomeration of heterogeneous nationalities that lived under the Habsburg sceptre. The radiant beauty of the capital made one forget the sad symptoms of senile decay which the State as a whole betrayed.</p><blockquote><p>83</p></blockquote><p>Though the Empire was internally rickety because of the violent conflict going on between the various nationalities, the outside world (and Germany in particular) saw only that lovely picture of the city. The illusion was all the greater because at that time ViM
enna seemed to have entered upon the last and most spectacular phase of her splendour. Under a Mayor who had the true stamp of genius, the venerable residential city of the rulers of the old Empire seemed to have renewed the glory of its youth. The last great German who sprang from the ranks of the people that had colonized the<i>Ostmark</i>was no
in the official sense. Dr. Lueger, however, in his role as Mayor of the Imperial Capital and Residential City, had achieved so much in almost every spherM
e of municipal activity, whether economic or cultural, that the heart of the whole Empire throbbed with renewed vigour and he thus proved himself a much greater statesman than the so-called
of that period. The fact that this political conglomeration of heterogeneous races called Austria, finally broke down, is no evidence whatsoever of political incapacity on the part of the German element in the old<i>Ostmark</i>. The collapse was the inevitable result of an impossible situation. Ten million peopleM
cannot permanently hold together a State of fifty millions, composed of different and conflicting nationalities, unless certain definite conditions are fulfilled before it is too late. The German-Austrian possessed vision. Accustomed to live in a great Empire, he had a keen sense of the obligations incumbent on him in such a situation. He was the only member of the Austrian State who looked beyond the borders of the narrow lands belonging to the Crown, to the frontiers of the Reich. Indeed when Destiny severed himM
from the common Fatherland he tried to master the tremendous task before him and to preserve for the German-Austrians that patrimony which, through innumerable struggles, their ancestors had originally wrested from the East. It must be remembered that the German-Austrians could not put their undivided strength into this effort, because the hearts and minds of the best among them were constantly turning back towards their kinsfolk in the Fatherland, so that their home claimed only part of their affection.</p><blockM
quote><p>84</p></blockquote><p>The mental horizon of the German-Austrian was comparatively broad. His commercial interests comprised almost every part of the heterogeneous Empire. The conduct of almost all important undertakings was in his hands. The leading engineers and officials were for the most part of German origin. The German played the foremost part in carrying on the foreign trade of the country, as far as that sphere of activity was not under Jewish control. He was the political cement that held the StateM
together. His military duties carried him far beyond the narrow frontiers of his homeland. Though the recruit might join a German regiment, that regiment was as likely to be stationed in Herzegovina as in Vienna or Galicia. The officers in the Habsburg armies were still Germans and so was the majority in the higher branches of the civil service. Art and science were in German hands. Apart from the new artistic trash, which might easily have been produced by a Negro tribe, all genuine artistic inspiration came fromM
the German section of the population. In music, architecture, sculpture and painting, Vienna was the source which supplied the entire Dual Monarchy, and that source never seemed to show signs of drying up. Finally, it was the German element that determined the conduct of foreign, policy, though a small number of Hungarians were also active in that field. All efforts to save the State were, however, doomed to end in failure, because the essential prerequisites were missing. There was only one possible way to controM
lling and holding in check the centrifugal forces of the different and differing nationalities in the Austrian State. Either it had a central government and was, at the same time, internally organised, or it would cease to exist. Now and again there were lucid intervals in the highest quarters, when this truth was recognised, but it was soon forgotten again, or else deliberately ignored, because of the difficulties to be overcome in putting it into practice. Every project which aimed at giving the Empire a more fedM
eral shape was bound to be ineffective because there was no central nucleus in the form of a predominating state. In this connection it must be remembered that internal-conditions in Austria were quite different from those which characterized the German Reich as founded by Bismarck.</p><blockquote><p>85</p></blockquote><p>Germany was faced with only one difficulty, which was that of transforming the purely political traditions, because throughout the whole of Bismarck
s Germany there was a common cultural basis. M
The German Reich contained only members of one and the same racial or national stock, with the exception of a few foreign minorities. Conditions in Austria were quite the reverse. With the exception of Hungary, none of the provinces possessed a political tradition of past greatness, or if they did, it was either obliterated or obscured by the passage of Time. Moreover, this was the epoch when the principle of nationality began to be in the ascendant, and that phenomenon awakened the national instincts in the variouM
s countries affiliated under the Habsburg sceptre. It was difficult to control the action of these newly awakened national forces, because, adjacent to the frontiers of the Dual Monarchy, new national States were springing up whose people were of the same or kindred racial stock as the respective nationalities that constituted the Habsburg Empire. These new States were able to exercise a greater power of attraction than the German element. Even Vienna could not hold her own indefinitely. When Budapest had developedM
into a great city, a rival had grown up whose mission was, not to help in holding together the various divergent parts of the Empire, but rather to strengthen one part. Within a short time Prague followed the example of Budapest, and later on came Lemberg, Laibach and others. The fact was that these places which had formerly been provincial cities, now became national capitals, and provided centres for a cultural life that was gradually becoming more and more independent. In this way national political instincts aM
cquired a spiritual foundation and gained in depth. The time was bound to come when the particularist interests of those various countries would become stronger than common imperial interests. Once that stage was reached, Austria
s doom was sealed. The course of this development had been clearly perceptible since the death of Joseph II.</p><blockquote><p>86</p></blockquote><p>Its rapidity depended on a number of factors, some of which had their origin in the monarchy itself, while others resulted from the positioM
n which the Empire held in the world of foreign politics. It was impossible to make anything like a successful effort for the permanent consolidation of the Austrian State unless a ruthless and persistent policy of centralisation were put into force. Before all, by the adoption, as a matter of principle, of one language as the official language of the State, the purely formal unity of the latter should have been emphasised, and thus the administration would have had in its hand that technical instrument without whiM
ch the State could not endure as a political unity. Only if this had been done, could the schools and other forms of education have been used to inculcate a feeling of common citizenship. Such an objective could not be reached within ten or twenty years, but the effort would have to be envisaged in terms of centuries, just as, in all problems of colonisation, steady perseverance is a far more important element than intensive effort for a short period of time. It goes without saying that in such circumstances the coM
untry must be governed and administered by strict adhesion to the principle of uniformity. For me, it was quite instructive to discover why this did not take place, or rather, why it had not been done. Those who were guilty of the omission must be held responsible for the break-up of the Habsburg Empire. More than any other State, the old Austria depended on a strong and capable government. The Habsburg Empire lacked ethnical uniformity, which constitutes the fundamental basis of a national State and will preserve M
the existence of such a State even though the ruling power be grossly inefficient. When a State is composed of a homogeneous population, the natural inertia of the latter and the powers of resistance derived from that inertia will preserve it from internal collapse during astonishingly long periods of misgovernment and maladministration. It may often seem as if the life had died out of such a body-politic; but a time comes when the apparent corpse rises up and, gives the rest of the world astonishing proof of its iM
ndestructible vitality. The situation is utterly different in a country where the population is not homogeneous, where there is no bond of common blood, but only the rule of force.</p><blockquote><p>87</p></blockquote><p>Should the ruling hand show signs of weakness in such a State, the result will not be to cause a kind of hibernation of the State, but rather to awaken the individualistic instincts of the various racial groups. These instincts do not make themselves felt as long as these groups are dominated by, aM
strong central will-to-govern. The danger which exists in these slumbering separatist instincts can be rendered more or less innocuous only through centuries of common education, common traditions and common interests. The younger such States are, the more does their existence depend on the ability and, strength of the central government. If their foundation is due only to the work of a strong personality or a leader who is man of genius, they will, in many cases, break up as soon the founder disappears; because, M
though great, he stood alone, but even after centuries the danger inherent in these separatist instincts I have spoken of, is not always completely overcome. They may be only dormant and may suddenly awaken when the central government shows weakness and the force of a common education as well as the dignity of a common tradition prove unable to withstand the vital energies of separatist nationalities forging ahead towards the shaping of their own individual existence. Failure to see the truth of all this constituteM
d what may be called the tragic guilt of the Habsburg rulers. Only in the case of one Habsburg ruler, and that for the last time, did the hand of Destiny hold aloft the torch that threw light on the future of his country, but, thereafter the torch was then extinguished for ever. Joseph II, who ruled over the Holy Roman Empire of the German nation, was filled with a growing anxiety when he realised the fact that his House had been pushed to an outlying frontier of the Reich and that the time would soon be at hand whM
en it would be overturned and engulfed in the whirlpool caused by that Babel of nationalities, unless something was done at the eleventh hour to overcome the dire consequences resulting from the negligence of his ancestors. With superhuman energy this
made every possible effort to counteract the effects of the carelessness and thoughtlessness of his predecessors. Within one decade he strove to repair the damage that had been done throughout the centuries.</p><blockquote><p>88</p></blockquoteM
><p>If Destiny had only granted him forty years for his labours, and if only two generations had carried on the work which he had begun, the miracle might have been performed. But when he died, broken in body and spirit after ten years of rulership, his work was buried with him in the grave and rests with him there in the Capucin Crypt, sleeping an eternal sleep, without hope of a reawakening. His successors had neither the ability nor the will-power necessary for the task they had to face. When the first signs of M
a new revolutionary epoch appeared in Europe, the infection gradually spread to Austria, and when the fire finally broke out it was fed and fanned not by discontent with the social or political conditions, but by forces that had their origin in the nationalist yearnings of the various groups. The European revolutionary movement of 1848 primarily took the form of a class-conflict in almost every other country, but in Austria it took the form of a new racial struggle. In so far as the German-Austrians there forgot thM
e origins of the movement, or perhaps had failed to recognise them at the start and consequently took part in the revolutionary uprising, they sealed their own fate, for they thus helped to awaken the spirit of Western Democracy which, within a short while, shattered the foundations of their own existence. The setting up of a representative parliamentary body, without previously having decreed that there should be one, official language and without having firmly established the use of this language, was the first gM
reat blow to the predominance of the German element in the Dual Monarchy. From that moment, the State was also doomed to collapse sooner or later. What followed was nothing but the historical liquidation of an empire. To watch that process of progressive disintegration was a tragic and, at the same time, an instructive experience. The execution of history
s decree was carried out in thousands of ways. The fact that great numbers of people went about blindfolded amid the manifest signs of dissolution only proved tM
hat the gods had decreed the destruction of Austria. I do not wish to dwell on details because these would lie outside the scope of this book.</p><blockquote><p>89</p></blockquote><p>I want to treat in detail only those events which are typical among the causes that lead to the decline of nations and States and are, therefore, of importance to our present age. Moreover, they helped to furnish the basis of my own political outlook. Among the institutions which most clearly manifested unmistakable signs of decay, eveM
n to the weak-sighted Philistine, was that which, of all state institutions, ought to have been the most firmly established, namely, the parliament, or the<i>Reichsrat</i>, as it was called in Austria. The pattern for this corporate body was obviously that which existed in England, the land of classic democracy. The constitution of that beneficent institution was adopted, lock, stock, and barrel, and transferred, with as little alteration as possible, to Vienna. As the Austrian counterpart to the British two-chambeM
r system, an upper and a lower Chamber were established in Vienna. The two
themselves, considered as buildings, were somewhat different in appearance. When Barry built the palatial Houses of Parliament, on the shores of the Thames, he could look to the history of the British Empire for inspiration for his work. In that history he found sufficient material to fill and decorate the twelve hundred niches, brackets, and pillars of his magnificent edifice. His statues and paintings made of the House of LordM
s and the House of Commons temples dedicated to the glory of the nation. Here it was that Vienna encountered the first difficulty. When Hansen, the Danish architect, had completed the last gable of the marble palace in which the new body of representatives of the people was to be housed, he had to turn to the ancient classical world for subjects for his decorations. This theatrical shrine of
was adorned with the statues and portraits of Greek and Roman statesmen and philosophers. As if meantM
to serve as an ironic symbol, the horses of the quadrigae that surmount the two Houses are pulling away from one another towards the four corners of the globe. There could be no better symbol for the kind of activity then going on within the walls of that same building. The
were opposed to any kind of glorification of Austrian history in the decoration of this building, insisting that such would constitute an insult and a provocation.</p><blockquote><p>90</p></blockquote><p>Much the same happenM
ed in Germany, where it was not until the battles of the Great War were being waged that the inscription dedicating the Reichstag (which was built by Wallot) to the German people, was finally engraved. I was not yet twenty years of age when I first entered the fine building in the Franzensring to watch and listen during a session of the Lower Chamber. I was filled with conflicting feelings. I had always hated the parliament, but not as an institution in itself. On the contrary, as one who cherished ideals of politiM
cal freedom, I could not even imagine any other form of government. In the light of my attitude towards the House of Habsburg I should then have considered it a crime against liberty and reason to think of any kind of dictatorship as a possible form of government. A certain admiration which I had for the British Parliament contributed towards the formation of this opinion. I became imbued with that feeling of admiration, almost without my being conscious of it, through so much reading of newspapers while I was yet M
quite young. I could not discard that admiration all in a moment. The dignified way in which the British House of Commons fulfilled its function impressed me greatly, thanks largely to the glowing terms in which the Austrian Press reported on its doings. I used to ask myself whether there could be any nobler form of selfgovernment by the people. These considerations furnished the very motives of my hostility to the Austrian parliament. The, form in which parliamentary government was here represented seemed unworthyM
of its great prototype. The following considerations also influenced my attitude: The fate of the German element in the Austrian State depended on its position in the<i>Reichsrat</i>. Up to the time that universal suffrage by secret ballot was introduced, the German representatives had a majority in the parliament, though that majority was not a very substantial one. This situation gave cause for anxiety because the Social Democratic faction could not be relied upon when national questions were at stake. In matterM
s that were of critical concern for the German element, the Social-Democrats always took up an anti-German stand, because they were afraid of losing their followers among the other national groups.</p><blockquote><p>91</p></blockquote><p>Even at that time the Social-Democratic party could no longer be considered as a German party. The introduction of universal suffrage put an end even to the purely numerical predominance of the German element. The way was now clear for the further
rian State. The national instinct of self-preservation made it impossible for me to welcome a representative system in which the German element was not really represented as such, but was always betrayed. Yet all these, and many others, were defects which could not be attributed to the parliamentary system as such, but rather to the Austrian State in particular. I still believed that if the German majority could be restored in the representative body there would be no occasion to oppose such a system as long as theM
old Austrian State continued to exist. Such was my general attitude at the time when I first entered those sacred and contentious halls. For me they were sacred only because of the radiant beauty of that majestic edifice
a Greek miracle on German soil. But I soon became enraged by the hideous spectacle that met my eyes. Several hundred representatives were there to discuss a problem of great economic importance. The experience of that day was enough to supply me with food for thought for several weeks. The intelM
lectual level of the debate was depressing. Sometimes the debaters did not make themselves intelligible at all. Several of those present did not speak German, but only their Slav vernaculars or even dialects. Thus I had the opportunity of hearing with my own ears what I had been hitherto acquainted with only through reading the newspapers
a turbulent mass of people, all gesticulating and bawling together, with a pathetic old man ringing his bell and making frantic efforts to call the House to a sense of its digniM
ty, by friendly appeals, exhortations, and grave warnings. I could not refrain from laughing. Several weeks later I paid a second visit. This time the House presented an entirely different picture, so much so that one could hardly recognise it as the same place. The hall was practically empty.</p><blockquote><p>92</p></blockquote><p>The very atmosphere was sleepy, only a few members were in their places, yawning in each other
s faces. One was speaking. A deputy speaker was in the chair. When he looked round it waM
s quite plain that he felt bored. Then I began to reflect seriously on the whole thing. I went to the parliament whenever I had any time to spare and watched the spectacle silently, but attentively. I listened to the debates, as far as they were intelligible, and I studied the more or less intelligent features of those
representatives of the various nationalities which composed that ill-fated State. Gradually I formed my own ideas about what I saw. A year of such quiet observation was sufficient to tranM
sform, or completely destroy, my former opinion as to the character of this parliamentary institution. I no longer opposed merely the perverted form which the principle of parliamentary representation had assumed in Austria. It had become impossible for me to accept the system in itself. Up to that time I had believed that the disastrous, deficiencies of the Austrian parliament were due to the lack of a German majority, but now I recognised that the institution itself was wrong in its very essence and character. A M
number of problems presented themselves to my mind. I studied more closely the democratic principle of
decision by majority vote,
and I scrutinised no less carefully the intellectual and moral worth of the gentlemen who as
the chosen representatives of the nation
were entrusted with the task of making this institution function. Thus it happened that at one and the same time I came to know the institution itself and those of whom it was composed, and it was thus that, within the course of a few years, I M
came to form a clear and vivid picture of the average type of that most highly worshipped phenomenon of our time
the parliamentarian. The picture of him which I then formed became deeply engraved on my mind and I have never altered it since, at least as far as essentials go. Once again these object-lessons taken from real life saved me from getting firmly entangled by a theory which at first sight seems so alluring to many people; though that theory itself is a symptom of human decadence. Democracy, as practised M
in Western Europe to-day, is the forerunner of Marxism.</p><blockquote><p>93</p></blockquote><p>In fact, the latter would not be conceivable without the former. Democracy is the breeding ground in which the bacilli of the Marxist world-pest can grow and spread. By the introduction of parliamentarianism, democracy produced an abortion of
the fire of which, however, seems to have died out. I am more than grateful to Fate that this problem came to my notice when I was still in Vienna, for if I haM
d been in Germany at that time, I might easily have found only a superficial solution. If I had been in Berlin, when I first discovered what a ridiculous thing this institution was, which we called parliament, I might easily have gone to the other extreme and believed (as many people believed, and apparently not without good reason) that the salvation of the people and the Reich could be secured only by restrengthening the principle of imperial authority. Those who held this belief did not discern the tendencies ofM
their time and were blind to the aspirations of the people. In Austria one could not be so easily misled. There it was impossible to fall from one error into another. If the parliament were worthless, the Habsburgs were worse, or at least not in the slightest degree better. The problem was not solved by rejecting the parliamentary system. Immediately the question arose: what then? To repudiate and abolish the<i>Reichsrat</i>would have resulted in leaving all power in the hands of the Habsburgs. For me especially, M
that idea was impossible. Since this problem was especially difficult in regard to Austria, I went into the whole question more thoroughly than I otherwise should have done at that early age. The aspect of the situation that first made the most striking impression on me and gave me grounds for serious reflection was the manifest lack of any individual responsibility in the representative body. Parliament passes some act or decree which may have the most devastating consequences, yet nobody bears the responsibility M
for it. Nobody can be called to account, for surely one cannot say that a Cabinet discharges its responsibility when it resigns after having brought about a catastrophe. Or can we say that the responsibility is fully discharged when a new coalition is formed or parliament dissolved? Can a fluctuating majority ever be held responsible for anything?</p><blockquote><p>94</p></blockquote><p>Can the principle of responsibility mean anything else than the responsibility of a definite person? Is it possible to call the leM
ader of any government to account for any action, the preparations for and execution of which are the outcome of the wishes and inclination of a majority? Is it not considered right that, instead of developing constructive ideas and plans, the business of a statesman consists in the art of making a whole pack of blockheads understand his projects so that they will grant him their generous consent? Is it an indispensable quality in a statesman that he should possess a gift of persuasion commensurate with the statesmM
s ability to plan a far-reaching policy and take important decisions? Does it really prove that a statesman is incompetent if he should fail to gain a majority of votes in support of a definite scheme in an assembly which is the haphazard result of a more or less honest election? Has there ever been a case where such an assembly has comprehended a great political scheme before that scheme was put into practice and its greatness openly demonstrated through its success? In this world is not the creative act of tM
he genius always a protest against the inertia of the mass? What shall the statesman do if he does not succeed in coaxing the parliamentary multitude to give its consent to his policy? Shall he purchase that consent? Or, when confronted with the obstinate stupidity of his fellow-citizens, should he refrain from pushing forward with the measures which lie deems to be of vital necessity to the life of the nation? Should he resign or remain in power? In such circumstances does not a man of character find himself face M
to face with an insoluble contradiction between his own political insight on the one hand and, on the other, his sense of decency or, better still, of honesty? Where can we draw the line between duty to the public and the obligation under which personal honour places a man? Must not every genuine leader renounce the idea of degrading himself to the level of a political jobber?</p><blockquote><p>95</p></blockquote><p>And, on the other hand, does not every jobber feel the itch to
final responsibility will never rest with him personally, but with an anonymous mass which can never be called to account for its actions? Must not our parliamentary principle of government by numerical majority necessarily had to the destruction of the principle of leadership? Does anybody honestly believe that human progress originates in the composite brain of the majority and not in the brain of the individual? Or, is it presumed that in the future, human civilisation will be able to dispense with this as a conM
dition of its existence? Is not the creative brain of the individual more indispensable to-day than ever before? The parliamentary principle of vesting legislative power in the decision of the majority rejects the authority of the individual and puts in its place the strength of the majority in question. In doing so, it contradicts the aristocratic principle, which is a fundamental law of Nature, but of course, we must remember that the aristocratic principle need not be exemplified by the upper ten thousand to-dayM
. The devastating influence of this modem and democratic parliamentary institution might not easily be recognised by those who read the Jewish press, unless the reader has learned how to think independently and to examine the facts for himself. This institution is primarily responsible for the inrush of second-rate people into the field of politics. Confronted with such a phenomenon, a man who is endowed with real qualities of leadership will be tempted to refrain from taking part in political life, because under tM
hese conditions the situation does not call for a man who has a capacity for constructive statesmanship, but rather for a man who is, capable of bargaining for the favour of the majority. All the more will this activity appeal to small minds and will attract them accordingly. The narrower the mental outlook, the more insignificant the ability and the more accurate the estimate such a political jobber has of his own inferiority, the more will he be inclined to appreciate a system which does not demand creative geniuM
s or even high-class talent, but rather that crafty kind of sagacity which makes an efficient town clerk, and even prefers this kind of petty craftiness to the political genius of a Pericles.</p><blockquote><p>96</p></blockquote><p>Such a mediocrity does not even have to worry about responsibility for what he does. He need not trouble on that account, since, from the beginning, he knows that whatever be the results of his
his end is already written in the stars
he will one day have to clear ouM
t and make room for another who is of similar mental calibre. It is another sign of our decadence that the number of eminent statesmen grows as the standard by which the individual is judged becomes lower, and that standard will fall the more the individual politician has to depend upon parliamentary majorities. A man of real political ability will refuse to act the lackey to a bevy of footling tacklers, and they, in their turn, being the representatives of the majority
which means the dunder-headed multitude
ate nothing so much as a superior brain. It is always a consolation to such village councillors from Gotham to be led by a person whose intellectual stature is on a level with their own. Thus each one may have the opportunity to shine in debate among such compeers and, above all, each one feels that he may one day rise to the top. If Peter be boss to-day, then why not Paul to-morrow? This invention of democracy is very closely connected with a peculiar phenomenon which has recently spread to a pernicious extent, naM
mely, the cowardice of a large section of our so-called political leaders. Whenever important decisions have to be made, they are always fortunate in being able to hide behind the so-called majority. In observing one of these political manipulators one notices how he wheedles the majority in order to get their sanction for whatever action he takes. He has to have accomplices in order to be able to shift responsibility to other shoulders whenever he finds it opportune to do so. That is the main reason why this kind M
of political activity is abhorrent to men of character and courage, while at the same time it attracts inferior types, for a person who is not willing to accept responsibility for his own actions, but always seeks to be covered, roust be classed among the cowards aid the rascals. If the leaders of the nation are of such miserable stuff, the evil consequences will soon manifest themselves. Nobody will then have the courage to take a decisive step.</p><blockquote><p>97</p></blockquote><p>They will submit to abuse andM
defamation rather than pluck up courage to take a definite stand, and thus nobody is left who is willing to risk his life, if need be, in carrying out a ruthless decision. One truth which must always be borne in mind is that the majority can never replace the man. The majority represents not only ignorance but also cowardice, and just as a hundred blockheads do not equal one man of wisdom, so a hundred poltroons are incapable of taking any political line of action that requires moral strength and fortitude. The liM
ghter the burden of responsibility on each individual leader, the greater will be the number of those who, in spite of their sorry mediocrity, will feel the call to place their immortal talents at the: disposal of the nation. They are so much on the tip-toe of expectation that they find it hard to wait their turn. They stand in a long queue, painfully and sadly counting the number of those ahead of them and calculating the hours until, they can eventually come forward. They are delighted every time the holder of thM
e office on which they have set in their hearts, is changed and they are grateful for every scandal which removes one of the aspirants waiting ahead of them in the queue. If somebody sticks too long to his office stool they consider this almost a breach of a sacred understanding based on their mutual solidarity. They grow furious and do not rest until that inconsiderate person is finally driven out and forced to hand over his cosy berth. After that he will have little chance of getting another opportunity. Usually M
these placemen who have been forced to give up their posts push themselves again into the waiting queue unless they are hounded away by the protests of the other aspirants. The result of all this is that, in such a State, the quick succession of changes in public positions and public offices has a very unfavourable effect which may easily lead to disaster. It is not only the ignorant and the incompetent person who is the victim of these conditions, for the genuine leader is affected in an even greater degree, if FaM
te has actually succeeded in putting such a man into that position. Let the superior quality of such a leader be once recognised and the result will be that a joint front will be organised against him, particularly if that leader, though not coming from their ranks, dares to push his way into the circles of the elect.</p><blockquote><p>98</p></blockquote><p>They want to have only their own company and will quickly take up a hostile attitude towards any man who may show himself obviously above and beyond them. TheirM
instinct, which is so blind in other directions, is very sharp in this particular. The inevitable result is that the intellectual level of the ruling class sinks steadily. One can easily forecast how much the nation and the State are bound to suffer from such a state of affairs, provided one does not belong to that same class of
The parliamentary regime in the old Austria was the very archetype of the institution as I have described it. Though the Austrian Premier was appointed by the King-Emperor, M
this act of appointment merely gave practical effect to the will of the parliament. The huckstering and bargaining that went on in regard to every ministerial position was typical of Western Democracy. The results that followed were in keeping with the principles applied. The intervals between the replacement of one person by another gradually became shorter, finally ending up in a wild relay race. With each change the quality of the statesman in question deteriorated, until finally only the petty type of parliamenM
tarian remained. In such people the qualities of statesmanship were measured and valued according to the adroitness with which they pieced together one coalition after another, in other words, to their craftiness is manipulating the pettiest political transactions, which is the only kind of practical activity by means of which these men can prove themselves to be suitable representative of the people. In this sphere Vienna was the school which offered the most impressive examples. Another feature that engaged my atM
tention quite as much was the contrast between the talents and knowledge of these representatives of the people, on the one hand, and, on the other, the nature of the tasks they had to face. Willy-nilly one could not help thinking seriously of the narrow intellectual outlook of these chosen representatives of the various constituent nationalities, and one could not avoid pondering on the methods by which these noble figures in our public life were first discovered.</p><blockquote><p>99</p></blockquote><p>It was worM
th while to make a thorough study and examination of the way in which the real talents of these gentlemen were devoted to the service of their country; in other words, to analyse thoroughly the routine of their activities. The whole spectacle of parliamentary life became more and more desolate the more one penetrated into its intimate structure and studied the persons and principles of the system in a spirit of ruthless objectivity. Indeed it is very necessary to be strictly objective in the study of the institutioM
n whose sponsors talk of
in every other sentence, as the only fair basis of examination and judgment. If one studied these gentlemen and the laws governing their strenuous existence, the results were surprising. There is no other principle which turns out to be quite so ill-conceived as the parliamentary principle, if we examine it objectively. In our examination of it we may pass over the methods according to which the election of the representatives takes place, as well as the wiles which bring M
them into office and bestow new titles on them. It is quite evident that only to a tiny degree are public wishes or public needs satisfied by the manner in which an election takes place, for everybody who properly estimates the political intelligence of the masses, can easily see that this is not sufficiently developed to enable them to form general political judgments on their own account, or to select the men who might be competent to carry out their ideas in practice. Whatever definition we may give of the term M
only a very, small part of it originates in personal experience or individual insight. The greater portion of it results from the manner in which public matters have been presented to the people through an overwhelmingly impressive and persistent system of
In the religious sphere the profession of a denominational belief is largely the result of education, while the religious yearning itself slumbers in the soul; so, too, the political opinions of the masses are the final M
result of influences systematically operating on human sentiment and intelligence in virtue of a method which is applied sometimes with almost incredible thoroughness and perseverance. By far the most effective part in political education, which, in this connection, is best expressed by the word
is that played by the press.</p><blockquote><p>100</p></blockquote><p>The press is the chief means employed in the process of political
. It represents a kind of school for adults. This M
educational activity, however, is not in the hands of the State, but in the clutches of powers which are partly of a very inferior character. While still a young man in Vienna, I had excellent opportunities for getting to know the men who owned this machine for mass instruction, as well as those who supplied it with the ideas it propagated. At first I was quite surprised when I realised how little time was necessary for this dangerous
within the State to produce a certain belief among the public
even when the genuine will and convictions of the public were completely misconstrued. It took the press only, a few days to transform some ridiculously trivial matter into an issue of national importance, while vital problems were completely ignored or shelved and hidden away from public attention. The press succeeded in the magic art of producing names from nowhere within the course of a few weeks. It made it appear that the great hopes of the masses were bound up with those names, and made their bearers more pM
opular than many a man of real ability could ever hope to be in a long lifetime; at the same time old and tried figures in the political and other spheres of public life quickly faded from the public memory and were forgotten as if dead, though still in the full enjoyment of their health. Yet these were names which only a month before, had been unknown and unheard-of. Sometimes such men were so vilely abused that it looked as if their names would soon stand as permanent symbols of the worst kind of baseness. In ordM
er to estimate properly the really pernicious influence which the press can exercise one has only to study this infamous Jewish method whereby honourable and decent people are besmirched with mud and filth, in the form of low abuse and slander, from hundreds of quarters simultaneously, as if in response to some magic formula. These intellectual pickpockets would grab at anything which might serve their evil ends. They would poke their noses into the most intimate family affairs and would not rest until they had sniM
ffed out some petty item which could be used to destroy the reputation of their unfortunate victim.</p><blockquote><p>101</p></blockquote><p>But if the result of all this nosing should be that nothing derogatory was discovered in the private or public, life of the victim, they resorted to slander, in the belief that some of their animadversions would stick, even though refuted a thousand times. In most cases it finally turned out impossible for the victim to continue his defence, because the accuser worked togetherM
with so many accomplices that his slanders were re-echoed interminably. But these slanderers would never own that they were acting from motives which influence the common run of humanity or are comprehensible in them. Oh, no! The scoundrel who defamed his contemporaries in this villainous way would crown himself with a halo of heroic probity fashioned of unctuous phraseology and twaddle about his
duties as a journalist
and other lying nonsense of that kind. When these slanderers gathered together in large nuM
mbers at meetings and congresses they would utter a lot of slimy talk about a special kind of honour which they called the
professional honour of the journalist.
Then the assembled species would bow their respects to one another. This is the kind of being that fabricates more than two-thirds of what is called public opinion, from the foam of which the parliamentary Aphrodite eventually arises. Several volumes would be needed if one were to give an adequate account of the whole procedure and fully describe allM
its hollow fallacies, but if we pass over the details, and look at the product itself and its activities, I think this alone will be sufficient to open the eyes of even the most innocent and, credulous person; so that he may recognise the absurdity of this institution by looking at it objectively. In order to realise how this form of human aberration is as harmful as it is absurd, the best and easiest method is to compare democratic parliamentarianism with a genuine Germanic Democracy. The remarkable characteristiM
c of the parliamentary form of democracy is the fact that a number of persons, let us say five hundred including, in recent times, women also are elected to parliament and invested with authority to give final judgment on anything and everything.</p><blockquote><p>102</p></blockquote><p>In practice, they alone are the governing body; for, although they may appoint a Cabinet, which seems outwardly to direct the affairs of state, this Cabinet is only a sham. In reality the so-called government cannot do anything agaiM
nst the consent of the assembly. It can never be called to account for anything, since the right of decision is not vested in the Cabinet, but in the parliamentary majority. The Cabinet always functions only as the executor of the will of the majority. Its political ability, can be judged only according to how far it succeeds in adjusting itself to the will of the majority or in persuading the majority to agree to its proposals, but this means that it must descend from the level of a real governing power to that ofM
a mendicant who has to beg the favour of the majority. Indeed the chief preoccupation of the Cabinet must be to secure for itself, in the case of each individual measure, the favour of the majority, or to establish a new one that will be more favourably disposed. If it should succeed in either of these efforts, it may go on
for a little while, if it should fail, it must reign. The question whether its policy as such has been right or wrong does not matter at all. All responsibility is thereby practM
ically abolished. To what consequences such a state of affairs can lead may be easily understood from the following simple observations. Those five hundred deputies who have been elected by the people have followed various callings and show very varying degrees of political capacity, with the result that the whole combination is disjointed and sometimes presents quite a sorry picture. Surely nobody believes that these chosen representatives of the nation are the choice spirits or first class intellects. Nobody, I hM
ope, is foolish enough to pretend that hundreds of statesmen can emerge from papers placed in the ballot-box by electors who are anything but intelligent. The absurd notion that men of genius are born out of universal suffrage cannot be too strongly repudiated. A nation produces a genuine statesman once in the space of many years, and never by the hundred. Secondly, among the broad masses there is an instinctive antipathy towards every outstanding genius. There is a better chance of seeing a camel pass through the M
s eye than of seeing a really great man
through an election.</p><blockquote><p>103</p></blockquote><p>Throughout the history of the world, those who have been above the average have generally come to the fore of their own accord, but here five hundred persons possessing but modest intellectual qualities pass judgment on the most important problems affecting the nation. They form governments, which, in turn, have to gain the consent of the illustrious assembly for every legislative step thaM
t may be taken, which means that the policy to be carried out is actually the policy of the five hundred, and generally speaking, this is obvious. Let us pass over the intellectual qualities of these representatives and ask what is the nature of the task before them. If we consider the fact that the problems which have to be discussed and solved belong to the most varied and diverse fields, we can very well realise how inefficient a governing system must be, which entrusts the right of decision to a mass assembly, M
in which only very few possess the knowledge and experience which would qualify them to deal with the matters that have to be settled. The most important economic measures are submitted to a tribunal in which not more than one-tenth of the members have studied the elements of economics. This means that final authority is vested in men who are utterly devoid of any preparatory training which would make them competent to decide on the questions at issue. The same holds true of every other problem. It is always a majoM
rity of ignorant and incompetent people who decide on each measure, for the composition of the institution does not vary, while the problems to be dealt with extend to the most varied spheres of public life and would actually require to be weighed and settled by a continually changing body of representatives. It is out of the question to think that the same people are fitted to decide on transport questions as well as, let us say, on questions of foreign policy, unless each of them be a universal genius, but scarceM
ly more than one genius appears in the course of a century. Here, unfortunately, it is seldom a question of even average brains, but only of<i>dilettanti</i>who are as narrow-minded as they are conceited and arrogant, semi-educated persons of the worst kind.</p><blockquote><p>104</p></blockquote><p>This is why these honourable gentlemen show such astonishing levity in discussing and deciding matters that would demand the most painstaking consideration even from great minds. Measures of momentous importance for the M
future existence of the State are framed and discussed in an atmosphere more suited to the card-table. Indeed the latter suggests a much more fitting occupation for these gentlemen than that of deciding the destiny of a people. Of course it would be unfair to assume that each member in such a parliament originally possessed such a slight sense of responsibility. That is not so, but this system, by forcing the individual to pass judgment on questions which he is not competent to decide gradually debases his moral chM
aracter. Nobody will have the courage to say,
Gentlemen, I am afraid we know nothing of what we are talking about. I, for one, admit this.
Anyhow, if such a declaration were made it would not change matters very much, for such outspoken honesty would not be understood and such an honourable fool ought not to be allowed to spoil the game. Those who have a knowledge of human nature know that nobody likes to be considered a fool by his associates, and in certain circles honesty is taken as an index of stupidity.M
Thus it happens that a naturally upright man, once he finds himself elected to parliament, may eventually be induced by force of circumstances, to acquiesce in a general line of conduct which is base in itself and amounts to a betrayal of the public trust. The feeling that, if the individual refrained from taking part in a certain decision, his attitude would not alter the situation in the least, destroys every real honest instinct which might occasionally prick the conscience of one person or another. Finally, thM
e otherwise upright deputy will succeed in persuading himself that he is by no means the worst of the lot and that, by taking part in a certain line of action, he may prevent something worse from happening. A counter-argument may be put forward here. It may be said that of course the individual member may not have the knowledge which is requisite for the treatment of this or that question, yet his attitude towards it is taken on the advice of his party as the guiding authority in each political matter; and it may fM
urther be said that the party sets up special committees of experts who have even more than the requisite knowledge for dealing with the questions placed before them.</p><blockquote><p>105</p></blockquote><p>At first sight, that argument seems sound. But then another question arises, namely, why are five hundred persons elected, if only a few have the wisdom which is required to deal with the more important problems? That is just the point. It is not the aim of our modern democratic parliamentary system to bring toM
gether an assembly of intelligent and well-informed deputies. Not at all. The aim is rather to bring together a group of nonentities who are dependent on others for their point of view and who can be the more easily led, the narrower their individual mental outlook. That is the only way in which a party policy, according to the evil meaning it has to-day, can be put into effect, and by this method alone is it possible for the wire-puller, who exercises the real control, to remain in the dark, so that he personally M
can never be brought to account for his actions. For, in such circumstances none of the decisions taken, no matter how disastrous they may turn out for the nation as a whole, can be laid at the door of the individual whom everybody knows to be the evil genius responsible for the whole affair, all responsibility is shifted to the shoulders of the faction (party caucus). In practice, no actual responsibility remains, for responsibility arises only from personal duty and not from the obligations that rest with a parliM
amentary assembly of empty talkers. The parliamentary institution attracts people of the badger type, who shun the light. Any upright man, who is ready to accept personal responsibility for his actions, will despise such an institution. That is the reason why this brand of democracy has become a tool in the hands of that race which, because of its secret aims, must shun the light, as it always has done and always will do. Only a Jew can praise an institution which is as corrupt and as false as himself. As a contrasM
t to this kind of democracy we have the Germanic democracy, which is a true democracy, for here the leader is freely chosen and is obliged to accept full responsibility for all his actions and omissions. The problems to be dealt with are not put to the vote of the majority, but are decided by the individual and as a guarantee of the sincerity of his decisions, he pledges all he has in the world and even his life.</p><blockquote><p>106</p></blockquote><p>The objection may be raised here, that under such conditions, M
it would be very difficult to find a man who would be ready to devote himself to so fateful a task. The answer to that objection is as follows: We thank God that the inner spirit of our German democracy will of itself prevent the chance careerist, who may be intellectually worthless and a moral twister, from coming by devious ways to a position in which he may govern his fellow-citizens. The fear of assuming such far-reaching responsibilities, under Germanic democracy, will scare off the ignorant and the weak. ShouM
ld it happen that such a person tried to creep in surreptitiously, it will be easy enough to identify him and apostrophize him ruthlessly, somewhat thus,
Be off, you scoundrel. Do not soil these steps with your feet; because these are the steps that lead to the portals of the Pantheon of History, and they are not meant for sneaks but for heroes.
Such were the views I formed after two years attendance at the sessions of the Viennese parliament. Then I ceased to go there. The parliamentary regime was one of theM
causes of the steady decline of the strength of the Habsburg State during the last years of its existence. The more the predominance of the German element was whittled away through parliamentary procedure, the more pronounced became the system of playing off one of the various constituent nationalities against the other. In the<i>Reichsrat</i>it was always the German element that suffered through the system, which meant that the results were detrimental to the Empire as a whole, for at the close of the century eveM
n the most simple-minded people could recognise that the cohesive forces within the Dual Monarchy no longer sufficed to counterbalance the separatist tendencies of the provincial nationalities. On the contrary, as the measures which the State was able to adopt for its own preservation became more and more ineffectual the general contempt for the State increased. Not only Hungary, but also the various Slav provinces, gradually ceased to identify themselves with the monarchy which embraced them all and, accordingly, M
they did not feel its weakness as in any way detrimental to themselves.</p><blockquote><p>107</p></blockquote><p>They rather welcomed these manifestations of senile decay. They looked forward to the final dissolution of the State, and not to its recovery. In the parliament the complete collapse was postponed by the humiliating concessions that were made to every kind of importunate demand at the expense of the German element; while, throughout the country, it was staved off by playing off the various nationalities M
one against another. The general trend of this development was directed against the Germans. Especially since the right of succession to the throne had given the Archduke Franz Ferdinand a certain amount of influence, the policy of Czechisation was being carried out systematically. With all the means at his command the heir to the Dual Monarchy personally furthered the policy that aimed at eliminating the influence of the German element, or at least he approved of that policy. By making use of State officials, pureM
ly German districts were gradually but definitely brought within the danger zone of the mixed languages. Even in Lower Austria this process began to make headway with constantly increasing speed, and Vienna was looked upon by many Czechs as their largest city. In the family circle of this new Habsburger the Czech language was favoured. The wife of the Archduke had formerly been a Czech countess and was wedded to the Prince by a morganatic marriage. She came from an environment where hostility to the Germans had beeM
n traditional. The leading idea in the mind of the Archduke was to establish in Central Europe a Slav State which was to be constructed on a purely Catholic basis, as a bulwark against Orthodox Russia. As had happened often in Habsburg history, religion was thus exploited to serve a purely political policy, and in this case a fatal policy, at least, as far as German interests were concerned. The result was lamentable in many respects. Neither the House of Habsburg nor the Catholic Church received the reward which tM
hey had expected. Habsburg lost the throne and the Church lost a great State. By employing religious motives in the service of politics, a spirit was aroused of which the instigators of that policy had never dreamed.</p><blockquote><p>108</p></blockquote><p>The reply to the attempt to exterminate Germanism in the old Monarchy by every available means was the Pan-German Movement in Austria. In the eighties of the last century, Manchester-Liberalism, which was Jewish in its fundamental ideas, had reached the zenith oM
f its influence in the Dual Monarchy, or had already passed that point. The reaction which set-in, did not arise from social, but from nationalist, tendencies, as was always the case in the old Austria. The instinct of self-preservation drove the German element to defend itself energetically. Economic considerations only slowly began to play an important part; but they were of secondary concern. Out of the general political chaos two party organisations emerged. The one was more of a national, and the other more ofM
a social, character, but both were highly interesting and instructive for the future. After the war of 1866, which had resulted in the defeat of Austria, the House of Habsburg contemplated having its revenge on the battlefield. Only the tragic end of the Emperor Maximilian of Mexico prevented still closer collaboration with France. The chief blame for Maximilian
s disastrous expedition was attributed to Napoleon III and the fact that the Frenchman left him in the lurch aroused a general feeling of indignation. YM
et the Habsburgs were still lying in wait for their opportunity. If the war of 1870
71 had not been such a singular triumph, the Viennese Court might have risked bloodshed in order to have its revenge for Sadowa. But when there arrived from the Franco-German battlefield the first reports which, though true, seemed miraculous and almost incredible, the
of all monarchs recognised that the moment was inopportune and tried to accept the unfavourable situation with as good a grace as possible. The heroM
ic conflict of those two years (1870
71) produced a still greater miracle, for, with the Habsburg the change of attitude never came from an inner heartfelt urge, but only from the pressure of circumstances. The German people of the<i>Ostmark</i>, however, were entranced by the triumphant glory of the newly established German Empire and were profoundly moved when they saw the dream of their fathers thus gloriously realised.</p><blockquote><p>109</p></blockquote><p>Let us make no mistake, the true German-Austrian rM
ealised from this time onward, that<i>Koniggratz</i>was the tragic, though necessary, pre-condition for the re-establishment of a Reich which should no longer be burdened with the palsy of the old alliance and which indeed had no share in that morbid decay. Above all, the German-Austrian had come to feel in the very depths of his own being that the historical mission of the House of Habsburg had come to an end and that the new Reich must choose only an Emperor who was of heroic mould and was therefore worthy to weaM
Destiny should be praised for having chosen a scion of that House which, in a turbulent age, had given the nation a shining example for all time, in the shape of Frederick the Great. After the great war of 1870
71 the House of Habsburg set to work fully determined to exterminate slowly and deliberately (for that was bound to be the result of the Slavophile policy) the dangerous German element about whose inner feelings and attitude there could be no doubt. Then the fire of rebellioM
n blazed up among the people whose extermination had been decreed
a fire such as had never been witnessed in modem German history. For the first time nationalists and patriots were transformed into rebels; not rebels against the nation or the State as such but rebels against a form of government which, they were convinced, would inevitably bring about the ruin of their own people. For the first time in modem history the traditional dynastic patriotism and national love of Fatherland and people were in open confliM
ct. It was to the credit of the Pan-German movement in Austria during the closing decade of the last century that it pointed out clearly and unequivocally that a State is entitled to demand respect and protection for its authority, only when such authority is administered in accordance with the interests of the nation, or at least not in a manner detrimental to those interests. The authority of the State can never be an end in itself; for, if that were so, any kind of tyranny would be inviolable and sacred. If a goM
vernment uses the instruments of power in its hands for the purpose of leading a people to ruin, then rebellion is not only the right, but also the duty, of every individual citizen.</p><blockquote><p>110</p></blockquote><p>The question of whether and when such a situation arises cannot be answered by theoretical dissertations, but only by sheer force and success. Every government, even though it may be the worst possible and even though it may have betrayed the nation
s trust in thousands of ways, will claim thaM
t its duty is to uphold the authority of the State. Its adversaries, who are fighting for national self-preservation, must use the same weapons which the government uses if they are to prevail against such a rule and secure their own freedom and independence. Therefore the conflict will be fought out with
means as long as the power which is to be overthrown uses them; but the insurgents will not hesitate to apply illegal means if the oppressor himself employs them. Generally speaking, we must not forgetM
that the highest aim of human existence is not the preservation of a State or government but rather the preservation of the race. If the race is in danger of being oppressed or even exterminated, the question of legality is only of secondary importance. The established power may, in such a case, employ only those means which are recognised as
yet the instinct of self-preservation on the part of the oppressed will always justify, to the highest degree, the employment of all available weapons. It is onlM
y through recognition of this principle that certain peoples of this earth have, in the course of history, been able to set such a magnificent example in their struggle against the foreign oppressor or tyranny at home. Human rights are above the right of the State. But if a people be defeated in the struggle for its human rights this means that its weight has proved too light in the scale of Destiny to be worthy of the good fortune to continue to exist on earth. For the doom of those who are neither prepared nor abM
le to fight for their existence is sealed by an ever-just providence. The world is not for faint-hearted races. Austria affords a very clear and striking example of how easy it is for tyranny to hide its head under the cloak of what is called
</p><blockquote><p>111</p></blockquote><p>The legal exercise of power in the Habsburg State was then based on the anti-German attitude of the parliament, with its non-German majorities, and on the dynastic House, which was also hostile to the German element. TheM
whole authority of the State was incorporated in these two factors. To attempt to alter the lot of the German element through these two factors would have been senseless. Those who advocated the
way as the only possible way, and also obedience to the State authority, could offer no resistance; because a policy of resistance could not have been put into effect through legal measures. To follow the advice of the legalist counsellors would have meant the inevitable ruin of the German element within the MoM
narchy, and this disaster would not have been long in coming. The German element was actually saved only by the collapse of the State as such. The spectacled theorist would have given his life for his doctrine rather than for his people. Because man has made laws, he subsequently comes to think that he exists for the sake of those laws. A great service rendered by the Pan-German movement then was that it abolished all such nonsense, though the doctrinaire theorists and other fetish worshippers were shocked. When thM
e Habsburgs attempted to come to close quarters with the German element, by the employment of all the means of attack which they had at their command, the Pan-German Party hit out ruthlessly against the
dynasty. This party was the first to probe into and expose the corrupt condition of the State; and in so doing it opened the eyes of hundreds of thousands. To have liberated the high ideal of love for one
s country from the embrace of this deplorable dynasty was one of the great services renderedM
by the Pan-German movement. When that part first made its appearance it secured a large following. Indeed, the movement threatened to become almost an avalanche, but the first successes were not maintained. At the time I went to Vienna the Pan-German Party had been eclipsed by the Christian-Socialist Party, which had come into power in the meantime. Indeed, the Pan-German Party had sunk to a level of almost complete insignificance.</p><blockquote><p>112</p></blockquote><p>The rise and decline of the Pan-German movM
ement, on the one hand, and the marvellous progress of the Christian-Socialist Party, on the other, became for me an object of study and as such they played an important part in the development of my own views. When I went to Vienna all my sympathies were exclusively with the Pan-German movement. I was just as much impressed by the fact that they had the courage to shout<i>Heil Hohenzollern</i>as I rejoiced at their determination to consider themselves an integral part of the German Reich, from which they were sepaM
rated only temporarily. They never missed an opportunity of explaining their attitude in public, which roused my enthusiasm and confidence. To avow one
s principles publicly on every problem that concerned Germanism, and never to make any compromises, seemed to me the only way to save our people. What I could not understand was how this movement broke down so soon, after such a magnificent start, and it was no less incomprehensible that the Christian-Socialists should gain such tremendous power within the same spM
ace of time. They had just reached the pinnacle of their popularity. When I began to compare those two movements, Fate placed before me the best means of understanding the causes of this puzzling problem. The action of Fate was, in this case, hastened by my own straitened circumstances. I shall begin my analysis with an account of the two men who must be regarded as the founder and leaders of the two movements. These were Georg von Sch
nerer and Dr. Karl Lueger. As far as personality goes, both were far above the M
level of the average parliamentary figure. They lived lives of immaculate and irreproachable probity amidst the bog of all-round political corruption. Personally, I first liked the Pan-German representative, Sch
nerer, and it was only afterwards and gradually that I felt an equal liking for the Christian-Socialist leader. When I compared their respective abilities, Sch
nerer seemed to me a better and more profound thinker on fundamental problems. He foresaw the inevitable downfall of the Austrian State more clearM
ly and accurately than anyone else. If this warning in regard to the Habsburg Empire had been heeded in Germany, the disastrous World War, which involved Germany against the whole of Europe, would never have taken place.</p><blockquote><p>113</p></blockquote><p>But though Sch
nerer succeeded in penetrating to the essential of a problem he was often very much mistaken in his judgment of men. Herein lay Dr. Lueger
s special talent. He had a rare gift of insight into human nature and he was very careful not to takeM
men as something better than they were in reality. He based his plans on the practical possibilities which human life offered him, whereas Sch
nerer had very little understanding of this. All the ideas that this Pan-German protagonist had were right in the abstract, but he did not have the forcefulness or understanding necessary to convey his ideas to the broad masses. He was not able to formulate them so that they could be easily grasped by the masses, whose powers of comprehension are limited and will always reM
main so. Therefore, all Sch
s knowledge was only the wisdom of a prophet and he never succeeded in putting it into practice. This lack of insight into human nature led him to form a wrong estimate of certain movements and old institutions. Sch
nerer realised, indeed, that the problems he had to deal with were in the nature of a<i>Weltanschauung</i>; but he did not understand that only the broad masses of a nation can make such convictions, which are almost of a religious nature, prevail. Unfortunately, heM
understood only very imperfectly how feeble is the fighting spirit of the so-called bourgeoisie. That weakness is due to their business interests, which individuals are too much afraid of risking and which therefore deter them from taking action. Generally speaking, a<i>Weltanschauung</i>can have no prospect of success, unless the broad masses declare themselves ready to act as its champion and to fight on its behalf wherever and to whatever extent that may be necessary. This failure to understand the importance oM
f the lower strata of the population resulted in a very inadequate conception of the social problem. In all this Dr. Lueger was the opposite of Sch
nerer. His profound knowledge of human nature enabled him to form a correct estimate of the various social forces and it saved him from underrating the power of existing institutions, It was perhaps this very quality which enabled him to utilise those institutions as a means to serve the purposes of his policy.</p><blockquote><p>114</p></blockquote><p>He saw only too cM
learly that, in our epoch, the political fighting power of the upper classes is quite insignificant and not at all capable of fighting for the triumph of a great new movement. Thus he devoted the greatest part of his political activity to the task of winning over those sections of the population whose existence was in danger, a fact which tended to foster, rather than to paralyse, the militant spirit in them. He was also quick to adopt all available means for winning the support of long established institutions, soM
as to be able to derive the greatest possible advantage for his movement from those old sources of power. Thus it was that, first of all, he chose as the social basis of his new party that middle class which was threatened with extinction. In this way, he secured a solid following which was willing to make great sacrifices and had good fighting stamina. His extremely wise attitude towards the Catholic Church rapidly won over the younger clergy in such large numbers that the old clerical party was forced to retire M
from the field of action or else, and this was the wiser course, join the new party, in the hope of gradually winning back one position after another. It would be a serious injustice to the man if we were to regard this as his essential characteristic, for he possessed not only the qualities of an able tactician, but had the true genius of a great reformer although this was limited by his exact perception of the possibilities at hand and also of his own capabilities. The aims which this really eminent man decided tM
o pursue were intensely practical. He wished to conquer Vienna, the heart of the Monarchy. It was from Vienna that the last pulses of life beat through the diseased and worn-out body of the decrepit Empire. If the heart could be made healthier, the other parts of the body were bound to revive. That idea was correct in principle, but the time within which it could be applied in practice was strictly limited, and that was Lueger
s weak point. His achievements as Burgomaster of the City of Vienna are immortal, in thM
e best sense of the word, but all that could not save the Monarchy. It came too late. His rival, Sch
nerer, saw this more clearly.</p><blockquote><p>115</p></blockquote><p>What Dr. Lueger undertook to put into practice turned out marvellously successful, but the results which he expected to follow these achievements did not come. Sch
nerer did not attain the ends he had proposed to himself, but his fears were realised, alas, in a terrible fashion. Thus both these men failed to attain their further objectives. LueM
ger could not save Austria and Sch
nerer could not prevent the downfall of the German people. To study the causes of the failure of these two parties is to learn a lesson that is highly instructive for our own epoch. This is especially useful for my friends, because in many points the circumstances of our own day are similar to those of that time. Therefore, such a lesson may help us to guard against the mistakes which brought one of those movements to an end and rendered the other barren of results. In my opinionM
, the wreck of the Pan-German movement in Austria must be attributed to three causes. The first of these consisted in the fact that the leaders did not have a clear concentration of the importance of the social problem, particularly for a new movement which had an essentially revolutionary character. Sch
nerer and his followers directed their attention principally to the bourgeois classes. For that reason, their movement was bound to turn out mediocre and tame. The German bourgeoisie, especially in its upper circlM
though the individual may not be aware of this
pacifist even to the point of complete self-abnegation wherever the internal affairs of the nation or State are concerned. In good times, which in this case means times of good government, such an attitude makes this social class extraordinarily valuable to the State, but when there is a bad government, such a quality has a destructive effect. In order to ensure the possibility of carrying through a really strenuous struggle, the Pan-German movement should M
have devoted its efforts to winning over the masses. The failure to do this left the movement from the very beginning without the elementary impulse which such a wave needs if it is not to ebb within a short while.</p><blockquote><p>116</p></blockquote><p>In failing to see the truth of this principle clearly at the very outset of the movement, and in neglecting to put it into practice, the new party made an initial mistake which could riot possibly be rectified afterwards, for the numerous moderate bourgeois elemenM
ts admitted into the movement increasingly determined its internal orientation and thus destroyed all further prospects of gaining any appreciable support among the masses of the people. Under such conditions such a movement could not get beyond mere discussion and criticism. A faith that was almost religious and the spirit of sacrifice were no longer to be found in the movement. Their place was taken by the effort towards
collaboration, which in this case meant to acknowledge the existing state of aM
ffairs, gradually to tone down the bitterness of the dispute and to finish up by making a dishonourable peace. Such was the fate of the Pan-German movement, because at the start the leaders did not realise that the most important condition of success was that they should recruit their following from the broad masses of the people. The movement thus became bourgeois and respectable and radical only in moderation. The second cause of its rapid decline was due to this mistake. The position of the Germans in Austria waM
s already desperate when Pan-Germanism arose. Year by year parliament was being used more and more as an instrument for the gradual extinction of the German-Austrian population. The only hope of an eleventh-hour effort to save it lay in the overthrow of the parliamentary system, but there was very little prospect of this happening. Consequently, the Pan-German movement was confronted with a question of primary importance. To overthrow the parliament, should the Pan-Germanists have entered it
to undermine it fromM
as the current phrase was? Or should they have assailed the institution as such from outside? They entered the parliament and came out defeated, but they had been obliged to enter it, for in order to wage an effective war against such a power from the outside, indomitable courage and a ready spirit of sacrifice were necessary. In such cases the bull must be seized by the horns. Furious attacks may bring the assailant to the ground again and again, but if he has a stout heart he will stand up, even thougM
h some bones may be broken, and only after a long and tough struggle will he achieve his triumph.</p><blockquote><p>117</p></blockquote><p>New champions are attracted to a cause by the appeal of great sacrifices made for its sake, until that indomitable spirit is finally crowned with success. To achieve this, however, one needs those who come from the broad masses of the people. They alone have the requisite determination and tenacity to fight a sanguinary issue through to the end. The Pan-German movement did not hM
ave these broad masses as its champions and so the only course left opens to it was to enter parliament. It would be a mistake to think that this decision resulted from a long series of internal hesitations of a moral kind, or that it was the outcome of careful calculation. They did not even consider any other solution. Those who participated in this blunder were actuated by general considerations and vague notions as to what would be the significance and effect of taking part in that institution which they had conM
demned on principle. In general they hoped that they would thus have the means of expounding their cause to the broad masses of the people, because they would be able to speak in
the forum of the whole nation.
It also seemed reasonable to believe that by attacking the evil at the root they would achieve more than by attacking from outside. They believed that, if protected by the immunity of parliament, the position of the individual protagonists would be strengthened and that thus the force of their attacks wM
ould be enhanced. In reality everything turned out otherwise. The forum in which the Pan-German representatives spoke had not grown greater, but had actually become smaller, for each spoke only to the circle that was ready to listen to him or could read the report of his speech in the newspapers. The largest forum of immediate listeners is not the parliamentary auditorium; it is the large public meeting, for here alone will there be thousands of men who have come simply to hear what a speaker has to say, whereas atM
the parliamentary sitting; only a few hundred are present, and for the most part these are there only to earn their daily allowance for attendance and not to be enlightened by the wisdom of one or other of the
representatives of the people.
</p><blockquote><p>118</p></blockquote><p>The most important consideration is that the same public is always present and that this public does not wish to learn anything new, because, setting aside the question of its intelligence, it lacks even that modest quantum of willM
-power which is necessary for the effort of learning. Not one of the representatives of the people will pay homage to a superior truth and devote himself to its service. Not one of these gentry will act thus, unless he has grounds for hoping that by such a<i>voile-face</i>he may be able to retain the representation of his constituency in the coming election. Therefore, only when it becomes quite clear that the old party is likely to have a bad time of it at the forthcoming elections
only then will those models ofM
manly virtue set out in search of a new party or a new policy which may have better electoral prospects, but of course this change of front will be accompanied by a veritable deluge of high moral motives to justify it, and thus it always happens that when an existing party has incurred such general disfavour among the public that it is threatened with the probability of a crushing defeat, a great migration commences. The parliamentary rats leave the party ship. All this happens not because the individuals in the cM
ase have become better informed on the questions at issue and have resolved to act accordingly; these changes of front are evidence only of that gift of clairvoyance which warns the parliamentary flea at the right moment and enables him to hop into another warm party bed. To speak in such a forum is to cast pearls before certain animals. Verily, it does not repay the pains taken, for the result must always be negative. That is what happened in this case. The Pan-German representatives might have talked themselves hM
oarse, but to no effect. The press either ignored them totally or so mutilated their speeches that the logical argument was destroyed or the meaning twisted round in such a way that the public got only a very wrong impression regarding the aims of the new movement. What the individual members said was not of importance, what was important was what people read as coming from them. This consisted of mere extracts which had been torn out of the context of the speeches and gave an impression of incoherent nonsense, whiM
ch was exactly what was intended. Thus the only public to which they really spoke consisted merely of five hundred parliamentarians and that is saying a great deal.</p><blockquote><p>119</p></blockquote><p>The worst aspect of the case was that the Pan-German movement could hope for success only if the leaders realised from the very first moment that here it must be less a question of a new party than of a new<i>Weltanschauung</i>. This alone could arouse the inner moral forces that were necessary for such a gigantiM
c struggle, and in this struggle the leaders must be men of first-class brains and indomitable courage. If the struggle on behalf of a<i>Weltanschauung</i>is not conducted by men of heroic spirit who are ready to sacrifice everything, within a short while it will become impossible to find real fighting followers who are ready to lay down their lives for the cause. A man who fights only for his own existence has not much interest left for the service of the community. In order to secure the conditions that are necesM
sary for success, everybody concerned must be made to understand that the new movement looks to the future for its honour and glory, but that it has no contemporary reward to offer its members. If a movement should offer a large number of positions and offices that are easily accessible, the number of unworthy candidates admitted to membership will be constantly on the increase, and eventually a day will come when there will be such a preponderance of political profiteers among the membership of a successful party M
that the combatants who bore the brunt of the battle in the earlier stages of the movement can now scarcely recognise their own party and may be thrown overboard by the later arrivals as unwanted ballast. Then the movement will no longer have a mission to fulfil. Once the Pan-German party decided to collaborate with parliament they were no longer leaders and combatants in a popular movement, but merely parliamentarians. Thus the movement sank to the common political party level of the day and had no longer the streM
ngth to face a hostile fate and run the risk of martyrdom. Instead of fighting, the Pan-German leaders fell into the habit of talking and negotiating The new parliamentarians soon found that it was a more satisfactory, because less risky, way of fulfilling their task, if they were to defend the new<i>Weltanschauung</i>with the
weapon of parliamentary rhetoric rather than risk their lives in a struggle, the outcome of which was uncertain and could, at best, offer no prospect of personal gain for tM
hemselves.</p><blockquote><p>120</p></blockquote><p>When they had taken their seats in parliament their adherents outside hoped and waited for miracles to happen. Naturally, no such miracles happened or could happen. Thereupon the adherents of the movement soon grew impatient, because the reports they read about their own representatives did not in the least come up to what had been expected when they voted for these same representatives at the elections. The reason for this was not far to seek. It was due to the fM
act that an unfriendly press refrained from giving a true account of what the Pan-German representatives of the people were actually doing. As the new deputies got to like this mild form of
struggle in parliament and in the provincial diets, they gradually became reluctant to resume the more, hazardous work of expounding the principles of the movement to the broad masses of the people. Mass meetings in public became more and more rare, though this is the only means of exercising a really effectivM
e influence on the people, because here the influence comes from direct personal contact and only in this way can the support of large sections of the people be obtained. When the tables on which the speakers used to stand in the great beer-halls, addressing an assembly of thousands, were deserted for the parliamentary tribune, and the speeches were no longer addressed to the people directly, but to the so-called
representatives, the Pan-German movement lost its popular character and in a little while M
degenerated to the level of a more or less serious club where problems of the day were discussed academically. The wrong impression created by the press was no longer corrected by personal contact with the people at public meetings, where the individual representatives might have given a true account of their activities. The final result of this neglect was that the word
came to have an unpleasant sound in the ears of the masses. The knights of the pen and the literary snobs of to-day ought to realM
ise that the great reformations which have taken place in this world were never conducted by a goosequill.</p><blockquote><p>121</p></blockquote><p>The task of the pen must always be that of presenting the theoretical concepts which motivate such changes. The force which has always set in motion the great historical avalanches of religious and political movements is the magic power of the spoken word. The broad masses of a population are more susceptible to the appeal of rhetoric than to any other force. All great M
movements are popular movements. They are the volcanic eruptions of human passions and emotions, stirred into activity by the ruthless goddess of Adversity or by the torch of the spoken word cast into the midst of the people. In no case have great movements been set afoot by the syrupy effusions of aesthetic<i>litterateurs</i>and drawing-room heroes. The doom of a nation can be averted only by a storm of glowing passion; but only those who are passionate themselves can arouse passion in others. It is only through tM
he capacity for passionate feeling that chosen leaders can wield the power of the word which, like blows from a hammer, will open the door to the hearts of the people. He who is not capable of passionate feeling and speech was never chosen by Providence to be the herald of its will. Therefore, a writer should stick to his ink-bottle and busy himself with theoretical questions, if he has the requisite ability and knowledge. He was not born or chosen to be a leader. A movement which has great aims to achieve must carM
efully guard again, the danger of losing contact with the masses of the people. Every problem encountered must be examined from this point of view first of all and the decision taken must always be in harmony with this principle. The movement must avoid everything which might lessen or weaken its power of influencing the masses, not from demagogical motives, but because of the simple fact that no great ideal, no matter how sublime and exalted it may be, can be realised without the formidable strength of the great bM
ulk of the people. Stern reality alone must mark the way to the goal.</p><blockquote><p>122</p></blockquote><p>Only too often in this world, to be unwilling to walk the road of hardship means the total renunciation of our aims and purposes, whether that renunciation be consciously willed or not. The moment the Pan-German leaders, by virtue of their acceptance of the parliamentary principle, moved the centre of their activities away from the people and into parliament, they sacrificed the future for the sake of a chM
eap momentary success. They chose the easier way in the struggle and in doing so rendered themselves unworthy of the final victory. While in Vienna I used to ponder seriously over these questions and I saw that the main reason for the collapse of the Pan-German movement lay in the fact that these very questions were not rightly appreciated. To my mind the movement seemed at that time chosen to take over the leadership of the German element in Austria. The first two blunders which led to the downfall of the Pan-GermM
an movement were very closely connected with one another. Failure to recognise the inner dynamic forces which bring about great changes led to an inadequate appreciation of the part which the broad masses play in bringing about such changes. The result was that too little attention was given to the social problem and that the attempts made by the movement to capture the minds of the lower classes were too few and too weak. If there had been a proper appreciation of the tremendous power of resistance always shown byM
the masses in revolutionary movements, a different attitude towards the social problem would have been taken; and also a different policy in the matter of propaganda. Then the centre of gravity of the movement would not have been transferred to the parliament, but would have remained in the workshops and in the streets. There was a third mistake, which also had its roots in the failure to understand the significance of the broad masses. The masses are first set in motion, in a definite direction, by men of superioM
r talents; but then these masses, once in motion, are like a flywheel inasmuch as they sustain the momentum and steady balance of the offensive. The policy of the Pan-German leaders in deciding to carry through a difficult fight against the Catholic Church can be explained only by attributing it to an inadequate understanding of the spiritual character of the people.</p><blockquote><p>123</p></blockquote><p>The reasons why the new party engaged in a violent campaign against Rome were as follows: As soon as the HousM
e of Habsburg had definitely decided to transform Austria into a Slav state, all sorts of measures were adopted which seemed suitable for that purpose. The Habsburg rulers had no scruples of conscience about exploiting even religious institutions in the service of this new
One of the many methods employed was the use of Czech parishes and their clergy as instruments in the Slavisation of Austria, which was carried out in the following way. Parish priests of Czech nationality were appointed to pureM
ly German districts. Gradually and steadily pushing the interests of the Czech people before those of the Church, the parish priests became generative cells in the process of de-Germanisation. Unfortunately, the German-Austrian clergy completely failed to counter this Procedure. Not only were they incapable of taking a similar initiative on the German side, but they showed themselves unable to meet the Czech offensive with adequate resistance. The German element was accordingly pushed backwards, slowly but steadilyM
, through the perversion of religious belief for political ends, on the one side, and the lack of proper resistance on the other. Such were the tactics used in dealing with the minor problems, but those used in dealing with the major problems were not very different. The anti-German aims pursued by the Habsburgs, especially through the instrumentality of the higher clergy, did not meet with any vigorous resistance, while the clerical representatives of the German interests withdrew completely to the rear. The generM
al impression created could not be other than that the Catholic clergy as such were grossly neglecting the rights of the German population. Therefore, it looked as if the Catholic Church was not in sympathy with the German people, but that it unjustly supported their adversaries. The root of the whole evil, especially in Sch
s opinion, lay in the fact that the centre of authority of the Catholic Church was not in Germany and that this fact alone was sufficient reason for the hostile attitude of the Church M
towards the demands of our people.</p><blockquote><p>124</p></blockquote><p>The so-called cultural problem receded almost completely into the background, as was generally the case throughout Austria at that time. In assuming a hostile attitude towards the Catholic Church, the Pan-German leaders were influenced not so much by the Church
s attitude regarding questions of science, etc., but principally by the fact that the Church did not defend German rights, as it should have done, but always supported those who enM
croached on these rights, especially the Slavs. Georg Sch
nerer was not a man who did things by halves. He went into battle against the Church because he was convinced that this was the only way in which the German people could be saved. The<i>Los-von-Rom</i>(
) movement seemed the most formidable, but at the same time most difficult, method of attacking and destroying the adversary
nerer believed that if this movement could be carried out successfully the unfortunate division M
between the two great religious denominations in Germany would be wiped out and that the inner forces of the German Reich and the German nation would be enormously enhanced by such a victory. But in this case the premises as well as the conclusions were erroneous. It was undoubtedly true that the national powers of resistance, in everything concerning Germanism as such, were much weaker among the German Catholic clergy, than among their non-German colleagues, especially the Czechs, and only an ignorant person couldM
be unaware of the fact that it scarcely ever entered the minds of the German clergy to take the offensive on behalf of German interests. At the same time, everybody who is not blind to facts must admit that all this should be attributed to a characteristic under which we Germans are all doomed to suffer. This characteristic shows itself in our objective attitude towards our own nationality, as towards other things. While the Czech priest adopted a subjective attitude towards his own people and only an objective atM
titude towards the Church, the German parish priest showed a subjective devotion to his Church and remained objective in regard to his nation. It is a phenomenon which, unfortunately for us, can be observed occurring in exactly the same way in thousands of other spheres.</p><blockquote><p>125</p></blockquote><p>It is by no means the peculiar heritage of Catholicism, but it is something in us which does not take long to undermine almost every institution, especially institutions of the State and those which have ideM
al aims. Take, for example, the attitude of our civil service in regard to the efforts made to bring about a national resurgence and compare that attitude with the stand which the civil service in any other country would have taken in such a case. Or, can anyone believe that the military officers in any other country in the world would place the
authority of the State
before the vital needs of the nation, as they have done as a matter of course in our country for the past five years and have even deemed theirM
s a meritorious attitude? Or, let us take another example. In regard to the Jewish Problem, do not the two Christian denominations take up a standpoint to-day which does not correspond to the national exigencies or even the interests of religion? Consider the attitude of a Jewish Rabbi towards any question, even one of minor importance, concerning the Jews as a race, and compare his attitude with that of the majority of our clergy, whether Catholic or Protestant. We observe the same phenomenon wherever it is a mattM
er of standing up for some abstract idea.
The authority of the State,
international solidarity,
etc., all such notions become rigid, dogmatic conceptions with us, so that the general vital needs of the nation are judged purely in the light of these conceptions. This unfortunate habit of looking at all national demands from the point of view of a pre-conceived notion makes it impossible for us to see the subjective side of a thing which objectively contradicts our own docM
trine. It finally leads to a complete reversal of the relation of means and end. Any attempt at a national revival will be opposed, if the preliminary condition of such a revival be that a bad and pernicious regime must first of all be overthrown, because such an action will be considered as a violation of the
authority of the State.
In the eyes of those who take that standpoint, the
authority of the State
is not a means which is there to serve an end, but rather, to the mind of the dogmatic believer inM
objectivity, an end in itself, which suffices as the whole purpose of his own miserable existence.</p><blockquote><p>126</p></blockquote><p>Such people would raise an outcry if, for instance, anyone should attempt to set up a dictatorship, even though the dictator in question were a Frederick the Great and the politicians for the time being, who constituted the parliamentary majority, were petty and incompetent men, because to such sticklers for abstract principles, the law of democracy is more sacred than the welM
fare of the nation. In accordance with his principles, one of these gentry will defend the worst kind of tyranny, though it may be leading a people to ruin, because it is the fleeting embodiment of the
authority of the State
and another will reject even a highly beneficial government if it should happen not to be in accord with his notion of
In the same way, our German pacifist will remain silent while the nation is groaning under an, oppression which is being exercised by a blood-thirsty milM
itary power, if this state of affairs can be altered only through active resistance and the employment of physical force, which is contrary to the spirit of the pacifist associations. The German international Socialist may be robbed and plundered by his comrades in all the other countries of the world, in the name of
but he responds with fraternal kindness and never thinks of trying to get his own back, or even of defending himself. And why? Because he is a German. It may be unpleasant to dwell onM
such truths, but if something is to be clone we must start by diagnosing the disease. The phenomenon which I have just described also accounts for the feeble manner in which German interests are promoted and defended by a section of the clergy. Such conduct is not the manifestation of a malicious intent, nor is it the outcome of orders given from
as we say, but such a lack of national grit and determination is due to defects in our educational system, on the one hand, which fails to imbue our youth wiM
th a sense of pride in their German nationality, and, on the other, to our subjection to the ideal which has become our idol. The education which makes men the devotees of such abstract notions as
international Socialism,
etc., is so hard-and-fast and exclusive and, operating as it does from within outwards, so purely subjective, that in forming their general picture of outside life as a whole, they are fundamentally influenced by these<i>a priori</i>notions.</p><blockquote><pM
>127</p></blockquote><p>On the other hand, their attitude towards their own German nationality has been very objective from youth upwards. The pacifist
who surrenders himself subjectively, body and soul, to the dictates of his dogmatic principles, will always first consider the objective right or wrong of a situation when danger, no matter how grave and unmerited, threatens his own people and he will never take his stand in the ranks of his own people and fight for and with them from the sheeM
r instinct of self-preservation. Another example may further illustrate how far this applies to the different religious denominations. Insofar as its origin and tradition are based on German ideals, Protestantism defends these ideals better, but it fails the moment it is called upon to defend national interests which belong to a sphere outside its ideals and traditional development, or which, for some reason or other, are rejected by it. Protestantism, therefore, will always take its part in promoting German idealsM
as far as concerns moral integrity or national education, when the essential German character, the German language or German freedom are to be defended, because these represent the principles on which Protestantism itself is grounded. But this same Protestantism violently opposes every attempt to rescue the nation from the clutches of its mortal enemy, because the Protestant attitude towards the Jews is more or less rigidly and dogmatically fixed. And yet this is the first problem which has to be solved, unless alM
l attempts to bring about a German renascence are doomed to turn out ridiculous and impossible. During my sojourn in Vienna I had ample leisure and opportunity to study this problem without allowing, any prejudices to intervene, and in my daily intercourse with people I was able to test in a thousand ways the correctness of the opinion I had formed. Here, at the meeting-place of many nationalities, it was obvious that it was always the German pacifist who tried to consider the interests of his own nation objectivelM
y, but you would never find a Jew who adopted a similar attitude towards his own race. Furthermore, I found that only the German Socialist is
in the sense that he feels himself obliged not to demand justice for his own people in any other manner than by whining and wailing to his international comrades.</p><blockquote><p>128</p></blockquote><p>Nobody could ever reproach Czechs or Poles or other nations with such conduct. In short, even at that time, I recognised that this evil is only partly theM
result of the doctrines taught by socialism, pacifism, etc., but mainly the result of our totally inadequate system of education, the defects of which are responsible for the lack of devotion to our own nationality. Therefore, the first theoretical argument advanced by the Pan-German leaders, in support of their offensive against Catholicism was quite untenable. The only way to remedy the evil of which I have been speaking is to train the Germans from youth upwards to an absolute recognition of the rights of theirM
own people, instead of poisoning their minds, while they are still children, with the virus of this cursed
even in matters concerning the very preservation of our own existence. The result of this would be that the Catholic in Germany, just as in Ireland, Poland or France, will be a German first and foremost, but this presupposes the establishment of a radical national government. The strongest proof in support of my contention is furnished by what took place when our people were called for the M
last time before the tribunal of History to defend their own existence, in a life-and-death struggle. As long as there was no lack of leadership in the higher circles, the people fulfilled their duty and obligations to an overwhelming extent. Whether Protestant pastor or Catholic priest, each did his very utmost to help our powers of resistance to hold out, not only in the trenches, but also, and to an even greater degree, at home. During those years, and especially during the first outburst of enthusiasm, there waM
s for both religious camps one undivided and sacred German Reich for whose preservation and future existence they all prayed to Heaven. The Pan-German movement in Austria ought to have asked itself this one question,
Is the preservation of the German element in Austria possible, as long as that element remains within the fold of the Catholic Church?
If so, then the political party should not have meddled in religious and denominational questions, but if not, then a religious reformation should have been startM
ed and not a political party movement. Anyone who believes that a religious reformation can be achieved through the agency of a political organisation shows that he has no idea of the development of religious conceptions and doctrines of faith and how these are put into practice by a Church.</p><blockquote><p>129</p></blockquote><p>No man can serve two masters, and I hold that the foundation or overthrow of a religion has far more serious consequences than the foundation or overthrow of a State, to say nothing of aM
party. It is no argument to the contrary to say that the attacks were only defensive measures against attacks from the other side. Undoubtedly, there have always been unscrupulous rogues who did not hesitate to use religion as an instrument in their political dealings, for such, was usually the sole object of such fellows, but on the other hand, it would be wrong to hold religion itself, or a religious denomination, responsible for a number of rascals who exploit the Church for their own base interests just as theM
y would exploit anything else in which they had a part. Nothing could be more to the taste of one of these parliamentary loungers and tricksters than to be able to find a scapegoat at least, after the event, for his political sharp practice. The moment religion or a religious denomination is attacked and made responsible for his personal misdeeds, this shrewd fellow will raise an outcry at once and call the world to witness how justified he was in acting as he did, proclaiming that he and his eloquence alone have sM
aved religion and the Church. The public, which is mostly stupid and has a very short memory, is not capable of recognising the real instigator of the quarrel in the midst of the turmoil that has been raised. Frequently it does not remember the beginning of the fight and so the rogue gains his end. A cunning fellow of that sort is quite well aware that his misdeeds have nothing to do with religion, and so he will laugh up his sleeve all the more heartily when his honest, but artless, adversary loses the game and, oM
ne day losing all faith in humanity, retires from public life. But also from another point of view it would be wrong to make religion, or the Church as such, responsible for the misdeeds of individuals. If we compare the magnitude of the organisation, as it is apparent to everyone, with the average weakness of human nature we shall have to admit that the proportion of good to bad is more favourable here than anywhere else.</p><blockquote><p>130</p></blockquote><p>Among the priests there may, of course, be some who M
use their sacred calling to further their political ambitions. There are clergy who, unfortunately, forget that in the political m
e they ought to be the champions of sublime truth and not the abettors of falsehood and slander, but for each one of these unworthy specimens we can find a thousand or more, who fulfil their mission nobly as the trustworthy guardians of souls and who tower above the level of our corrupt epoch, as little islands above the universal swamp. I cannot, and do not, condemn the Church as sM
uch if some depraved person in the robe of a priest commits some offence against the moral code; nor should I for a moment think of blaming the Church if one of its innumerable members betrays and besmirches his compatriots, especially in an epoch when such conduct is quite common. We must not forget, particularly in our day, that for one such Ephialtes there are a thousand whose hearts bleed in sympathy with their people during these, our year; of misfortune and who, together with the best of our nation, yearn forM
the hour when Fortune will smile on us again. If it be objected that here we are concerned not with the petty problems of everyday life, but principally with fundamental truths and questions of dogma, the only way of answering that objection is to ask the question,
Do you feel that Providence least called you to proclaim the Truth to the world?
If so, then go and do it, but you ought to have the courage to do it directly and not use some political party as your mouthpiece, for this, too, would be false. In tM
he place of something that now exists and is bad, put something else that is better and will last into the future. If you lack the requisite courage, or if you yourself do not know clearly what your better self ought to be, leave the whole thing alone but, whatever happens, do not try to reach the goal by the roundabout way of a political party if you are not brave enough to fight with your visor lifted. Political parties have no right to meddle in religious questions except when these relate to something that is aM
lien to the nation and thus calculated to undermine racial customs and morals. In the same way, religion must not be mixed up with party politics. If some ecclesiastical dignitaries should misuse religious institutions or religious teachings to injure their own ration, their opponents ought never to take the same road and fight them with the same weapons.</p><blockquote><p>131</p></blockquote><p>To a political leader, the religious teachings and institutions of his people should be sacred and inviolable; otherwise,M
he should not be a statesman, but a reformer, if he has the necessary qualities for such a mission. Any other line of conduct will lead to disaster, especially in Germany. In studying the Pan-German movement and its conflict with Rome I was firmly persuaded, then and especially in later years, that by their failure to understand the importance of the social problem, the Pan-Germanists lost the support of the broad masses, who are the indispensable combatants in such a movement. By entering parliament the Pan-GermaM
n leaders deprived themselves of their clan, and at the same time burdened themselves with all the defects of the parliamentary institution. Their struggle against the Catholic Church made their position impossible in numerous circles among the lower and middle classes, while at the same time it robbed them of innumerable high-class elements some of the best indeed that the nation possessed. The practical outcome of the Austrian<i>Kulturkamp</i>was negative. Although they succeeded in wresting one hundred thousand M
members from the Church, that did not do much harm to the latter. The Church did not need to shed tears over these lost sheep, for it lost only those who had for a long time ceased to belong to it in their inner hearts. The difference between this new reformation and the great Reformation was that, at that time, some of the best members left the Church because of religious convictions, whereas in this new reformation only those left who had been indifferent before and who were now influenced by political consideratM
ions. From the political point of view alone, the result was a ridiculous as it was deplorable. Once again a political movement which had promised so much for the German nation collapsed, because it was not conducted in a spirit of unflinching adherence to naked reality, but lost itself in spheres in which it was bound to be broken up. The Pan-German movement would never have made this mistake if it had properly understood the psyche of the broad masses. If the leaders had known that, for psychological reasons alonM
e, it is not expedient to place two or more adversaries before the masses
since that leads to a complete splitting up of their fighting strength
they would have concentrated the full and undivided force of their attack against a single adversary.</p><blockquote><p>132</p></blockquote><p>Nothing in the policy of a political party is so fraught with danger as allowing its decisions to be directed by people who want to have their fingers in every pie though they do not know how to cook the simplest dish. Even thouM
gh there is much that can be said against the various religious denominations, political leaders must not forget that history teaches us that no purely political party in similar circumstances ever succeeded in bringing about a religious reformation. One does not study history for the purpose of forgetting its lessons afterwards, when the time comes to apply them, or of imagining that in this particular case things are different, so that the eternal truths of history are no longer applicable. One learns history in M
order to be able to apply its lessons to the present time and whoever fails to do this cannot pretend to be a political leader. In reality he is quite a superficial person or, as is mostly the case, a conceited simpleton whose good intentions cannot make up for his incompetence. The art of leadership, as displayed by really great leaders of the people throughout the ages, consists in concentrating the attention of the people against a single adversary and taking care that nothing will divide that attention. The morM
e the militant energies of the people are directed towards one objective, the greater will be its magnetic force and its striking power. The leader of genius must have the ability to make different opponents appear as if they belonged to one category, for weak and wavering natures among a leader
s following may easily begin to be dubious about the justice of their own cause if they have to face several enemies. As soon as the vacillating masses find themselves facing an opposition that is made up of different groM
ups of enemies, their sense of objectivity will be aroused and they will ask how it is that all the others can be in the wrong and they themselves, and their movement, alone in the right. Such a feeling would be the first step towards a paralysis of their fighting vigour.</p><blockquote><p>133</p></blockquote><p>Where there are various enemies who are split up into divergent groups it will be necessary to block them together as forming one solid front, so that the bulk of the followers in a popular movement may seeM
only one common enemy against whom they have to fight. Such uniformity intensifies their belief in the justice of their own cause and strengthens their feeling of hostility towards the opponent. The Pan-German movement was unsuccessful because the leaders did not grasp the significance of that truth. They saw the goal clearly and their intentions were right, but they took the wrong road. Their action may be compared to that of an Alpine climber who never loses sight of the peak he wants to reach, who has set out wM
ith the greatest determination and energy, but pays no attention to the road beneath his feet. With his eye always fixed firmly on the goal, he does not examine or notice the nature of the ascent, and finally he fails. The manner in which the great rival of the Pan-German party set out to attain its goal was quite different. The way it took was well and shrewdly chosen, but it did not have a clear vision of the goal. On almost all points where the Pan-German movement failed, the policy, of the Christian Socialist pM
arty was correct and systematic. They assessed the importance of the broad masses correctly and gained their support by emphasising the social character of the movement from the very start. By directing their appeal especially to the lower middle class and the artisans, they gained adherents who were faithful, persevering and self-sacrificing. The Christian-Socialist leaders took care to avoid all controversy with religious institutions and thus they secured the support of that mighty organisation, the Catholic ChuM
rch. The leaders recognised the value of propaganda on a large scale and they were veritable virtuosos in working up the spiritual instincts of the broad masses of their adherents. The failure of this party to carry into effect the dream of saving Austria from dissolution, must be attributed to two main defects in the means they employed, and also to the lack of a clear perception of the ends they wished to reach. The anti-Semitism of the Christian-Socialists was based on religious, instead of racial, principles. TM
he reason for this mistake also gave rise to the second error.</p><blockquote><p>134</p></blockquote><p>The founders of the Christian-Socialist party were of the opinion that they could not base their attitude on the racial principle if they wished to save Austria, because they felt that a general disintegration of the State might quickly result from the adoption of such a policy. In the opinion of the party chiefs, the situation in Vienna demanded that all factors which tender to estrange the nationalities from onM
e another should be carefully avoided and that all factors making for unity should be emphasised. At that time Vienna was so honeycombed with foreign elements, especially Czech, that the greatest amount of tolerance was necessary if these elements were to be enlisted in the ranks of any party that was not anti-German on principle. If Austria was to be saved, those elements were indispensable, and so attempts were made to win the support of the small traders, a great number of whom were Czechs, by combating the libeM
ralism of the Manchester School. The leaders believed that by adopting this attitude they had found a slogan against Jewry which, because of its religious implications, would unite all the different nationalities which made up the population of the old Austria. It was obvious, however, that this kind of anti-Semitism did not trouble the Jews very much. If the worst came to the worst, a few drops of baptismal water would settle the matter, whereupon the Jew could still carry on his business safely and at the same tiM
me retain his Jewish entity. On such superficial grounds it was impossible to deal with the whole problem in an earnest and rational way. The consequence was that many people could not understand this kind of anti-Semitism and therefore refused to take part in it. The attractive force of the idea was thus restricted exclusively to narrow-minded circles, because the leaders failed to go beyond the mere emotional appeal and did not ground their position on a truly rational basis. The intellectuals were opposed to sucM
h a policy on principle. It looked more and more as if the whole movement were a new attempt to proselytize the Jews or, on the other hand, as if it were merely organised from a wish to compete with other contemporary movements.</p><blockquote><p>135</p></blockquote><p>Thus the struggle lost all traces of having been organised for a spiritual and sublime mission. Indeed, it seemed to some people
and these were by no means worthless elements
to be immoral and reprehensible. The movement failed to awaken a beliefM
that here there was a problem of vital importance for the whole of humanity, on the solution of which the destiny of the whole non-Jewish world depended. Through this shilly-shallying way of dealing with the problem, the anti-Semitism of the Christian-Socialists turned out to be quite ineffective. It was anti-Semitic only in outward appearance which was worse than if it had made no pretence at all to anti-Semitism, for the pretence gave rise to a false sense of security among people who believed that the enemy hadM
been brought to bay, but, as a matter of fact, these people themselves were being led by the nose. The Jew readily adjusted himself to this form of anti-Semitism and found its continuance more profitable to him than its abolition would have been. This whole attitude led to great sacrifices being made for the sake of that State which was composed of many heterogeneous nationalities, but much greater sacrifices had to be made by the representatives of the German element. It was impossible to adopt a
attitude for fear of losing the foothold gained in Vienna itself. It was hoped that the Habsburg State might be saved by a silent evasion of the nationalist question, but it was this very policy that brought that State to ruin. The same policy also led to the collapse of Christian Socialism, for thus the movement was deprived of the only source of energy from which a political party can draw the inner driving force it needs. During those years I carefully followed the two movements and observed how they developedM
, one because my heart was with it, and d the other, because of my admiration for that remarkable man who then appeared to me bitterly symbolic of the whole German population in Austria. When the imposing funeral cort
ge of the dead Burgomaster wound its way from the City Hall towards the Ring Strasse, I stood among the hundreds of thousands who watched the solemn procession pass by.</p><blockquote><p>136</p></blockquote><p>As I stood there I felt deeply moved, and my instinct told me that the work of this man hadM
been all in vain, because a sinister Fate was inexorably leading this State to its downfall. If Dr. Karl Lueger had lived in Germany he would have been ranked among the great leaders of our people. It was a misfortune for himself and for his work that he had to live in this impossible State. When he died, the fire had already been kindled in the Balkans and was spreading month by month. Fate had been merciful in sparing him the sight of what, even to the last, he had hoped to prevent. I endeavoured to analyse the M
cause which rendered one of these movements futile and wrecked the progress of the other. The result of this investigation was the profound conviction that, apart from the inherent impossibility of consolidating the position of the State in the old Austria, the two parties made the following fatal mistake. The Pan-German party was perfectly right in its fundamental ideas regarding the aim of the movement, which was to bring about a German renascence, but it was unfortunate in its choice of means. It was nationalistM
, but unfortunately it paid too little heed to the social problem, and thus it failed to gain the support of the masses. Its anti-Jewish policy, however, was grounded on a correct perception of the significance of the racial problem and not on religious principles, but it was a mistake, and wrong from a tactical point of view to make war on one religious denomination. The Christian-Socialist movement had only a vague conception of a German revival as part of its object, but it was intelligent and fortunate in the cM
hoice of means to carry out its policy as a party. The Christian-Socialists grasped the significance of the social question, but they adopted the wrong principles in their struggle against Jewry, and they utterly failed to appreciate the power of the national idea.</p><blockquote><p>137</p></blockquote><p>Had the Christian-Socialist party, apart from its shrewd estimate of the value of the broad masses, also gauged correctly the importance of the racial problem (which was properly grasped by the Pan-German movementM
) and had this party been really nationalist, or if the Pan-German leaders, on the other hand, in addition to their correct handling of the Jewish problem and of the national idea, had adopted the practical standpoint of the Christian-Socialist Party, and particularly their attitude towards Socialism
then a movement would have developed which, in my opinion, might even at that time have successfully altered the course of German history. If things did not turn out thus, the fault lay for the most part in the charaM
cter of the Austrian State. I did not find my own convictions upheld by any party then in existence, and so I could not bring myself to enlist as a member in any of the existing organisations or even lend a hand in their struggle. Even at that time all those organisations seemed to me to be already jaded in their energies and were therefore incapable of bringing about a really profound and not merely superficial national revival of the German people. My inner aversion to the Habsburg State was daily increasing. TheM
more I paid special attention to questions of foreign policy, the more the conviction grew upon me that this phantom State would surely bring misfortune on the Germans. I realised more and more that the destiny of the German nation could not be decisively influenced from here, but only from within the German Reich itself. This was true not only in regard to general political questions, but also
and in no less a degree
in regard to the whole sphere of cultural life. Here, also, in all matters affecting nationaM
l culture and art, the Austrian State showed all the signs of senile decrepitude, or at least it was ceasing to be of any consequence to the German nation, as far as these matters were concerned. This was especially true of its architecture. Modern architecture could not produce any great results in Austria, because, since the building of the Ring Strasse, architectural activity, in Vienna it least, had become insignificant when compared with the progressive schemes which were being planned in Germany. I came more M
and more to lead what may be called a two-fold existence. Reason and reality forced me to continue to endure my harsh, but beneficial, experience in Austria, but my heart was elsewhere.</p><blockquote><p>138</p></blockquote><p>A feeling of discontent grew upon me and made one depressed the more I came to realise the inside hollowness of this State and the impossibility of saving it from collapse. At the same time I felt perfectly certain that it would bring all kinds of misfortune on the German people. I was convinM
ced that the Habsburg State would baulk and hinder every German who might show signs of real greatness, while at the same time it would aid and abet every non-German activity. This conglomerate spectacle of heterogeneous races which the capital of the Dial Monarchy presented, this motley of Czechs, Poles, Hungarians, Ruthenians, Serbs and Croats, etc., and always that bacillus which is the solvent of human society, the Jew, here and there and everywhere
the whole spectacle was repugnant to me. The gigantic city sM
eemed to be the incarnation of racial adulteration. The German language, which I had spoken from the time of my boyhood, was the vernacular of Lower Bavaria. I never forgot that particular style of speech, and I could never learn the Viennese dialect. The longer I lived in that city, the stronger became my hatred of the promiscuous swarm of foreign peoples which had begun to batten on that old nursery-ground of German culture. The idea that this State could maintain its further existence for any considerable time wM
as quite absurd. Austria was then like an ancient mosaic in which the cohesive cement had dried up and become old and friable. As long as such a work of art remains untouched it may hold together and continue to exist, but the moment a blow falls on it, it breaks up into thousands of fragments. It was, therefore, now only a question of when the blow would come. Because my heart was always with the German Reich and not with the Austrian Monarchy, the hour of Austria
s dissolution as a State appeared to me only as M
the first step towards the emancipation of the German nation. All these considerations intensified, my yearning to depart for that country for which my heart had been secretly longing since the days of my youth. I hoped that one day I might be able to make my mark as an, architect and that I could devote my talents to the service of my country on a large, or on a small scale, according to the will of Fate.</p><blockquote><p>139</p></blockquote><p>A final reason was that I longed to be among those who lived and workM
ed in that land from which the movement should be launched, the object of which would be the fulfilment of what my heart had always longed for, namely, the union of the country in which I was born with our common Fatherland, the German Reich. There are many who may not understand how such a yearning can be so strong, but I appeal especially to two groups of people. The first includes all those who are denied the happiness I have spoken of, and the second embraces those who once enjoyed that happiness, but have had M
it torn from them by a harsh fate. I turn to all those who have been torn from their mother-country and who have to struggle for the preservation of their most sacred patrimony, their native language, who are persecuted and, because of their loyalty and love for the homeland, yearn sadly for the hour when they will be allowed to return to the bosom of their mother country. To these I address my words, and I know that they will understand. Only he who has himself experienced what it means to be a German and yet to bM
e denied the right of belonging to his Fatherland, can appreciate the profound nostalgia which that enforced exile causes. It is a perpetual heartache, and there is no place for joy and contentment until the doors of the home of his fathers are thrown open and all those in whose veins kindred blood is flowing will find peace and rest within their common Reich. Vienna was a hard school for me, but it taught me the most profound lessons of my life. I was scarcely more than a boy when I went to live there, and when I M
left, I had grown to be a man of a grave and pensive nature. In Vienna I acquired the foundation of a general<i>Weltanschauung</i>and developed a faculty for analysing political questions in detail. That<i>Weltanschauung</i>and the political ideas then formed have never been abandoned, though they were expanded later on. It is only now that I can fully appreciate how valuable those years were to me. I have given a detailed account of this period because in Vienna stark reality taught me the truths that now form theM
fundamental principles of the Party which, within the course of five years, has grown from modest beginnings to be a great mass movement.</p><blockquote><p>140</p></blockquote><p>I do not know what my attitude towards Jewry, Social Democracy, or rather Marxism, in general, to the social problem, etc., would be to-day if I had not acquired a stock of personal beliefs at such an early age, by dint of hard study and under the duress of Fate. For, although the misfortunes of the Fatherland may have stimulated thousandM
s to ponder over the inner causes of the collapse, that could not lead to such a thorough knowledge and deep insight as a man develops who has fought a hard struggle; for many years in order that he might be master of his own fate.</p><blockquote><p>141</p></blockquote><blockquote><p>142</p></blockquote><blockquote><p>143</p></blockquote><h1 id="chapter-iv-munich">CHAPTER IV: MUNICH</h1><p>At last I went to Munich, in the Spring of 1912. The city itself was as familiar to me as if I had lived for years within its wM
alls. This was because my studies in architecture had been constantly turning my attention to the metropolis of German art. One must know Munich if one would know Germany, and it is impossible to acquire a knowledge of German art without seeing Munich. All things considered, this pre-war sojourn was by far the happiest and most contented time of my life. My earnings were very slender, but after all, I did not live for the sake of painting. I painted in order to get the bare necessities of existence while I continueM
d my studies. I was firmly convinced that I should finally succeed in reaching the goal I had marked out for myself, and this conviction alone was strong enough to enable me to bear the petty hardships of everyday life without worrying very much about them. Moreover, almost from the very first moment of my sojourn there, I came to love that city more than any other place known to me.
How different from Vienna!
It was with a feeling of disgust that my imagination revertedM
to that conglomeration of races. Another pleasant feature here was the way the people spoke German, which was much nearer my own way of speaking than the Viennese idiom. The Munich idiom recalled the days of my youth, especially when I spoke with those who had come to Munich from Lower Bavaria. There were a thousand or more things which I loved, instinctively, or which I came to love during the course of my stay, but what attracted me most was the marvellous accord of native folk-energy with the fine artistic spirM
it of the city, that unique harmony between the Hofbr
uhaus and the Odeon, the October Festival and the Pinakothek, etc. The reason why my heart
s strings are entwined around this city as around no other spot in this world is probably because Munich is, and will remain, inseparably connected with the development of my own career;</p><blockquote><p>144</p></blockquote><p>and the fact that, from the beginning of my stay, I felt inwardly happy and contented is to be attributed to the charm which the marvellous capiM
tal of the House of Wittelsbach has for anyone who, apart from a gift of cool calculation, is blessed with a feeling for beauty. Apart from my professional work, I was most interested in the study of current political events, particularly those which were connected with foreign policy. I approached these by way of the German policy of alliances which, ever since my Austrian days, I had considered to be an utterly mistaken one, but in Vienna I had not yet seen quite clearly how far the German Reich had progressed inM
self-delusion. In Vienna I was inclined to assume, or probably I persuaded myself to do so in order to excuse the German mistake, that possibly the authorities in Berlin knew how weak and unreliable their ally would prove to be when brought face to face with realities, but that, for more or less mysterious reasons, they refrained from allowing their opinion on this point to be made public. Their idea was that they should support the policy of alliances which Bismarck had initiated, the sudden discontinuance of whiM
ch might be undesirable, if for no other reason than that it might arouse those foreign countries which were lying in wait for their chance, or might alarm the Philistines at home. My contact with the people soon taught me, to my horror, that my assumptions were wrong. I was amazed to find everywhere, even in circles otherwise well informed, that nobody had the slightest intimation of the real character of the Habsburg Monarchy. Among the common people in particular, there was a prevalent illusion that the AustrianM
ally was a power which would have to be seriously reckoned with and would
in the hour of need. The bulk of the people continued to look upon the Dual Monarchy as a
State and believed that it, could be relied upon. They assumed that its strength could be measured by the millions of its subjects, as was the case in Germany. First of all, they did not realise that Austria had ceased to be a German State and, secondly, that the conditions prevailing within the Austrian Empire were steadilM
y pushing it headlong to the brink of disaster.</p><blockquote><p>145</p></blockquote><p>At that time I knew the condition of affairs in the Austrian State better than the professional diplomats. Blindfolded, as nearly always, these diplomats stumbled along on their way to disaster. The opinions prevailing among the people reflected only what had been drummed into them from above, and these higher authorities grovelled before the
as the people of old bowed down before the Golden Calf. They probably thouM
ght that by being polite and amiable they might balance the lack of honesty on the other side, and at the same time, they took every declaration at its full face value. Even while in Vienna, I used to be annoyed again and again by the discrepancy between the speeches of the official statesmen and the contents of the Viennese press, and yet Vienna was still a German city, at least as far as appearances went. But one encountered an utterly different state of things on leaving Vienna, or rather German-Austria, and comM
ing into the Slav provinces. It was only necessary to glance at the Prague newspapers in order to see how the whole exalted hocus-pocus of the Triple Alliance was judged there. In Prague they had nothing but gibes and sneers for that masterpiece of statesmanship. Even in the piping times of peace, when the two emperors kissed each other on the brow in token of friendship, these papers did not disguise their belief that the alliance would be liquidated the moment the first attempt was made to bring it down from the M
shimmering heights of a Nibelungen ideal to the plane of stem reality. Great indignation was aroused a few years later, when the alliances were put to the first practical test. Italy not only withdrew from the Triple Alliance, leaving the other two members to go their own way, but she even joined their enemies. That anybody should believe even for a moment in the possibility of such a miracle as that of Italy fighting on the same side as Austria, would be simply incredible to any man who did not suffer from the bliM
ndness of official diplomacy. In Austria only the Habsburgs and the German-Austrians supported the alliance. The Habsburgs did so from shrewd calculation of their own interests and from necessity.</p><blockquote><p>146</p></blockquote><p>The Germans did it out of good faith and political ignorance. They acted in good faith inasmuch as they believed that by establishing the Triple Alliance they were doing a great service to the German Reich and were thus helping to strengthen it and consolidate its defence. They shoM
wed their political ignorance, however, in holding such ideas, because, instead of helping the German Reich, they really chained it to a moribund State which might drag its associate into the grave with itself. Above all, by championing this alliance they fell more and more a prey to the Habsburg policy of de-Germanisation, for the alliance gave the Habsburgs good grounds for believing that the German Reich would not interfere in their domestic affairs and thus they were in a position to carry into effect, with morM
e ease and less risk, their domestic policy of gradually eliminating the German element. Not only could the
of the German Government be counted upon, and thus there need be no fear of protest from that quarter, but one could always remind the German-Austrians of the alliance and thus silence those who would be sure to object, should the methods employed in the process of Slavisation become too drastic. What could the German-Austrians do, when the people of the German Reich itself had openly proclaM
imed their trust and confidence in the Habsburg regime? Should they resist and thus be branded openly before their kinsfolk in the Reich as traitors to their own national interests? They, who, for so many decades, had sacrificed so much for the sake of their German tradition! Once the influence of the Germans in Austria had been wiped out, what then would be the value of the alliance? If the Triple Alliance were to be advantageous to Germany, was it not a necessary condition that the predominance of the German elemM
ent in Austria should be maintained? Or did anyone really believe that Germany could continue to be the ally of a Habsburg Empire under the hegemony of the Slays? The official attitude of German diplomacy, as well as that of the general public, towards internal problems affecting the Austrian nationalities was not merely stupid, it was insane.</p><blockquote><p>147</p></blockquote><p>On the alliance, as on a solid foundation, they grounded the security and future existence of a nation of seventy millions, while, atM
the same time, they allowed their partner to continue his policy of undermining the sole foundation of that alliance, methodically and resolutely, from year to year. A day must come when nothing but a formal contract with Viennese diplomats would be left. The alliance itself, as an effective support, would be lost to Germany. As far as concerned Italy, such had been the case from the outset. If people in Germany had studied history and the psychology of nations a little more carefully, not one of them could have bM
elieved for a single hour that the Quirinal and the Viennese Hofburg could ever stand shoulder to shoulder on a common battle-front. Italy would have flared up like a volcano if any Italian government had dared to send a single Italian soldier to fight for the Habsburg State, for so fanatically did the Italians hate that State, that it would have been impossible for them to meet on the field of battle, except as enemies. More than once in Vienna I have witnessed explosions of the contempt and the profound hatred whM
the Italians to the Austrian State. The crimes which the House of Habsburg had committed against Italian freedom and independence in the course of several centuries were too grave to be forgiven, even with the best of goodwill, but this goodwill did not exist, either among the rank and file of the population or in the government. Therefore, for Italy there were only two ways of co-existing with Austria alliance or war. By choosing the first, it was possible to prepare leisurely for the second. EspeM
cially since relations between Russia and Austria tended more and more towards the arbitration of war, the German policy of alliances was as senseless as it was dangerous. Here was a classic instance which demonstrated the lack of any broad or logical line of thought. What was the reason for forming an alliance at all? It could not have been other than the wish to secure the future of the Reich better than would be possible if it were to depend exclusively on its own resources. But the future of the Reich could notM
have meant anything else than the problem of securing the means of existence of the German people.</p><blockquote><p>148</p></blockquote><p>An answer had, therefore, to be found to the following questions. What form shall the life of the nation assume in the near future that is to say within such a period as we can forecast? And by what means can the necessary foundation and security for this development be guaranteed within the framework of the general distribution of power among the European nations? A clear anaM
lysis of the principles on which the foreign policy of German statecraft was to be based should have led to the following conclusions: The annual increase in the population of Germany amounts to almost nine hundred thousand, souls. The difficulties of providing for this army of new citizens must grow from year to year and must finally lead to a catastrophe, unless ways and means are found which will forestall the danger of misery and hunger. There were four ways of providing against this terrible calamity:</p><p>(1M
) It was possible to adopt the French example and artificially restrict the number of births, thus avoiding an excess of population. In certain circumstances, in periods of distress or under bad climatic conditions, or if the soil yields too poor a return, Nature herself tends to check the increase of population in some countries and among some races, but by a method which is quite as ruthless as it is wise. She does not impede the procreative faculty as such; but prevents the further existence of the offspring by M
submitting it to such tests and privations that all but the strongest and healthiest are forced to retreat into the bosom of the Unknown. Whatever survives these hardships has been tested and tried a thousand-fold, hardened and rendered, fit to continue the process of procreation, so that the same process of selection will begin all over again. By thus, dealing brutally with the individual and recalling him the very moment he shows that he is not fitted for the trials of life, Nature preserves the race and the specM
ies and raises it to the highest degree of efficiency. The decrease in numbers therefore implies an increase in strength as far as the individual is concerned, and this eventually means the invigoration of the species.</p><blockquote><p>149</p></blockquote><p>The case is different when man himself starts the process of numerical restriction. Man is not made of the same stuff as Nature; he is
He knows better than the ruthless Queen of Wisdom; he does not impede the preservation of the individual but preM
vents procreation itself. To the individual who always sees only himself and not the race, this line of action seems more humane and just than the opposite way, but unfortunately, the consequences are also the reverse. By leaving the process of procreation unchecked and by submitting the individual to the hardest preparatory tests in life, Nature selects the best from an abundance of single elements and stamps them as fit to live and carry on the conservation of the species. Man restricts the procreative faculty anM
d strives obstinately to keep alive at any cost whatever has once been born. This correction of the Divine Will seems to him to be wise and humane, and he rejoices at having trumped Nature
s card in one game at least and thus proved that she is not entirely reliable. This little
made by the Almighty does not like to be told that, although he has succeeded in limiting numbers, his system leads to degeneration in the quality of the individual, for, as soon as the procreative faculty is thwarted anM
d the number of births diminished, the natural struggle for existence, which allows only healthy and strong individuals to survive; is replaced by a sheer craze to
feeble, and even diseased, creatures at any cost. Thus are sown the seeds of a human progeny which will become more and more enfeebled from one generation to another, as long as Nature
s will is scorned. If this policy is carried out, the final result will always be that such a nation will eventually terminate its own existence on this earthM
; for, though man may defy the eternal laws of procreation for a certain period, vengeance will follow sooner or later. A stronger race will oust that which has grown weak, for the vital urge, in its ultimate form, will burst asunder all the absurd chains of this so-called humane consideration for the individual and will replace it with the humanity of Nature, which wipes out what is weak in order to make room for the strong. Any policy which aims at securing the existence of the German nation by restricting the biM
rth-rate robs it of its future.</p><blockquote><p>150</p></blockquote><p>(2) A second solution is that of internal colonisation. This is a proposal which is frequently made in our own-time and one hears it lauded a good deal. It is a suggestion that is well-meant, but it is misunderstood by most people, so that it is the source of more mischief than can be imagined. It is certainly true that the productivity of the soil can be increased to a certain extent, but only within definite limits and not indefinitely. By iM
ncreasing the productive powers of the soil, it will be possible to balance the effect of a surplus birth-rate in Germany for a certain period of time, without incurring any danger of famine. But we have to face the fact that the general standard of living is rising more quickly than even the birth-rate. Our demands as regards food and clothing are growing from year to year and are out of all proportion to those of our ancestors of, let us say, a hundred years ago. It would, therefore, be a mistake to assume that eM
very increase in the productive powers of the soil will supply the requisite conditions for an increase in the population. That is true up to a certain point only, for at least a portion of the increased produce of the soil will be consumed in supplying the increased demands caused by the steady rise in the standard of living. But even if these demands were to be curtailed to the narrowest limits possible, and if, at the same time, we were to use all our available energies in intensive cultivation, we should here rM
each a definite limit which is conditioned by the inherent nature of the soil itself. No matter how industriously we may labour we cannot increase agricultural production beyond this limit. Therefore, though we may postpone the evil hour of distress for a certain time, it will arrive at last. The first phenomenon will be the recurrence of famine periods from time to time, after bad harvests, etc. The intervals between these famines will become shorter and shorter, the more the population increases, and finally, theM
famine times will disappear only in those rare years of plenty when the granaries are full. A time, will ultimately come when, even in those years of plenty, there will not be enough to go round, so that hunger will dog the footsteps of the nation. Nature must now step in once more and select those who are to survive;</p><blockquote><p>151</p></blockquote><p>or else man will help himself by artificially preventing his own increase, with all the fatal consequences to the race and the species which have already beenM
mentioned. It may be objected here that, in one form or another, this future is in store for all mankind and that the individual nation or race cannot escape the general fate. At first glance, that objection seems logical enough; but we have to take the following into account. The day will certainly come when the whole of mankind will be forced to check the augmentation of the human species, because there will be no further possibility of adjusting the productivity of the soil to the perpetual increase in the popuM
lation. Nature must then be allowed to use her own methods, or man may possibly take the task of regulation into his own hands and establish the necessary equilibrium by the application of better means than we have at our disposal to-day. Then, however, it will be a problem for mankind as a whole, whereas now only those races have to suffer from want which no longer have the strength and daring to acquire sufficient land to provide for their needs, for, as things stand to-day, vast spaces still lie uncultivated allM
over the surface of the globe. Those spaces are only waiting for the ploughshare, and it is certain that Nature did not set those territories apart as the exclusive property of any one nation or race, to be held in reserve for the future. Such land awaits the people who have the strength to acquire it and the diligence to cultivate it. Nature knows no political frontiers. She begins by establishing life on this globe and then watches the free play of forces. Those who show the greatest courage and industry are theM
children nearest to her heart and they will be granted the sovereign right of existence. If a nation confines itself to
internal colonisation
, while other races are perpetually increasing their territorial possessions all over the globe, that nation will be forced to restrict the numerical growth of its population at a time when the other nations are increasing theirs. This situation must eventually arise, and it will arise soon if the territory which the nation has at its disposal be small.</p><blockquote><M
p>152</p></blockquote><p>Now, it is unfortunately true that only too often the best nations
or, to speak more exactly, the only really cultured nations, who at the same time are the chief champions of human progress
have decided, in their blind pacifism, to refrain from the acquisition of new territory and to be content with
internal colonisation.
At the same time nations of inferior quality succeed in getting hold of large areas for colonisation all over the globe. The final outcome of this state of affaM
irs will be that races which are culturally superior, but less ruthless would be forced to restrict their increase, because of insufficient territory to support the population, while less civilised races could increase indefinitely, owing to the vast territories at their disposal. In other words, should this state of affairs continue, then the world will one day be possessed by that portion of mankind which is culturally inferior, but more active and energetic. A time will come, even though in the distant future, wM
hen there can be only two alternatives
either the world will be ruled according to our modern concept of democracy, and then every decision will be in favour of the numerically stronger races; or the world will be governed by the law of natural distribution of power, and then those nations will be victorious who are more brutal of will and they will not be the nations who have practised self-denial. Nobody can doubt that this world will one day be the scene of dreadful struggles for existence on the part of mankiM
nd. In the end the instinct of self-preservation alone will triumph; before its consuming fire this so-called humanitarianism, which connotes only a mixture of fatuous timidity and self-conceit, will melt away as snow in the March sunshine. Man has become great through perpetual struggle. In perpetual peace his greatness must decline. For us Germans the slogan of
internal colonisation
is fatal, because it encourages the belief that we have discovered a means which is in accordance with our innate pacifism andM
which will enable us to work for our livelihood by leading a drowsy existence. Such a teaching, once it were taken seriously by our people, would mean the end of all effort to acquire for ourselves that, place in the world which we deserve.</p><blockquote><p>153</p></blockquote><p>If the average German were once convinced that by this measure he had been given the chance of ensuring his livelihood and guaranteeing his future, any attempt to take an active, and thus profitable, part in promoting the vital interestsM
of the country would be out of the question. Should the nation agree to such an attitude, then any really useful foreign policy might be looked upon as dead and buried, together with all hope for the future of the German people. Once we know what the consequences of this
internal colonisation
theory would be, we can no longer consider as a mere accident the fact that, among those who inculcate this pernicious theory upon the minds of our people, the Jew is always in the; first rank. He knows his audience tooM
well not to know that they are ready to be the grateful victims of every swindler who promises them a fortune in the shape of a discovery that will enable them to outwit Nature and thus render superfluous the hard and inexorable struggle for existence so that finally they may become lords of the Earth partly by sheer<i>dolce far niente</i>and partly by work, just as it happens. It cannot be too strongly emphasised that any German
internal colonisation
must first of all be considered as suited only for the reM
lief of social grievances, and in particular, for freeing the soil from the grip of the speculator, but that such a system could never suffice to assure the future of the nation, without the acquisition of new territory. If we adopt a different plan we shall soon reach a point beyond which the resources of our soil can no longer be exploited, and at the same time we shall reach a point beyond which our man-power cannot develop. In conclusion, it must be emphasised that the two factors, namely, limitation to a definM
itely small area as necessitated by internal colonisation, and the restriction of procreation, which leads to the same result, have a very unfavourable effect on the military and political standing of a nation. The extent of the national territory is a determining factor in the external security of the nation. The larger the territory which a people has at its disposal, the stronger are the national defences of that people. Military victories are more quickly, more easily, more completely and more effectively gaineM
d against a people occupying a national territory which is restricted in area, than against States which have extensive territories.</p><blockquote><p>154</p></blockquote><p>Hence, the magnitude of a nation
s territory is in itself a certain guarantee that an outside Power will not hastily risk the adventure of an invasion, for in that case the struggle would have to be long and exhausting before victory could be hoped for. The risk being so great, there would have to be extraordinary reasons for such an aggressiM
ve adventure. Hence it is, that the territorial magnitude of a State furnishes a basis whereon national liberty and independence can be maintained with relative ease; while, on the contrary, a State whose territory is small offers a natural temptation to the invader. As a matter of fact, so-called national circles in the German Reich rejected these first two possibilities of establishing a balance between the constant numerical increase in the population and a national territory which did not expand proportionatelyM
. But the reasons given for that rejection were different from those which I have just expounded. It was mainly on the basis of certain moral objections that restriction of the birth-rate was condemned. Proposals for internal colonisation were rejected indignantly because it was suspected that such a policy might mean an attack on the big landowners, and that this attack might be the forerunner of a general attack upon the principle of private property as a whole. The form in which the latter solution-internal coloM
nisation was recommended justified these misgivings. Generally speaking, the manner in which the rejection of this proposal was carried out was not skilful in respect of the effect on the bulk of the people and, in any case, it did not go to the root of the problem at all. Only two further ways were left open by which work and bread could be secured for the increasing population.</p><p>(3) It was possible to think of acquiring new territory on which a certain portion of the increasing population could be settled eaM
ch year, and thus keep the nation in the position of being self-supporting.</p><p>(4) Our industry and commerce could have been organised in such a manner as to secure an increase in exports and thus be able to support our people by the increased purchasing power accruing from the profits made on foreign markets.</p><blockquote><p>155</p></blockquote><p>Therefore, the problem was: A policy of territorial expansion or a colonial and commercial policy? Both policies were taken into consideration, examined, recommendeM
d and, rejected, from various standpoints, with the result that the second alternative was finally adopted. The sounder alternative, however, was undoubtedly the first. The principle of acquiring new territory, on which the surplus population could be settled, has many advantages to recommend it, especially if we take the future, rather than the present, into account. In the first place, too much importance cannot be attached to the necessity for adopting a policy which will make it possible to maintain a, healthy M
farmer class as the basis of the national community. Many of our present evils have their origin exclusively in the disproportion between the urban and rural portions of the population. A solid stock of small and medium farmers have at all times been the best protection which a nation could have against the social diseases that are prevalent to-day. Moreover, that is the only solution which guarantees the daily bread of a nation within the framework of its domestic national economy. With this condition once guarantM
eed, industry and commerce would retire from the unhealthy position of foremost importance which they hold to-day and would take their due place within the general scheme of national economy, adjusting the balance between demand and supply. Thus, industry and commerce would no longer constitute the basis of the national subsistence, but would be auxiliary institutions. By fulfilling their proper function, which is to adjust the balance between national production and national consumption, they render national subsiM
stence more or less independent of foreign countries and thus assure the freedom and independence of the nation, especially at critical junctures in its history. Such a territorial policy, however, cannot be carried out in the Cameroons, but, almost exclusively, here in Europe. One must calmly and squarely face the truth that it certainly cannot be part of the dispensation of Divine Providence to give to onto nation a fifty times larger share of the surface of this globe than to another. In considering this state oM
f affairs to-day, one must not allow existing political frontiers to distract attention from those frontiers which, on the principle of eternal justice, ought to exist.</p><blockquote><p>156</p></blockquote><p>If there is sufficient
for all on this earth, then we ought to be given our share of the soil which is absolutely necessary for our existence, but of course nobody will be prepared to do so. At this point the right of self-preservation comes into effect, and when attempts to settle the diffM
iculty in an amicable way are rejected, the clenched fist must take by force that which was refused to the open hand of friendship. If, in the past, our ancestors had based their political decisions on the same pacifist nonsense as our present generation does, we should not possess more than one-third of the national territory that we possess to-day and probably there would be no German nation to worry about its future in Europe. We owe the two eastern provinces of the Reich to the innate determination of our forefM
athers in their struggle for existence, and thus it is to the same determined policy that we owe the inner strength which is based on the extent of our political and racial territories and which alone has made it possible for us to exist up to now. There is still another reason why that solution would have been the correct one. Many contemporary European States are like pyramids standing on their apexes. The European territory which these States possess is ridiculously small when compared with the enormous overheadM
weight of their colonies, foreign trade, etc. It may be said that they have the apex in Europe and the base of the pyramid all over the world very different from the United States of America, which has its base on the American Continent and is in contact with the rest of the world only through its apex. Out of that situation arises the incomparable inner strength of the U.S.A. and the contrary situation is responsible for the weakness of most of the European colonial Powers. Britain cannot be suggested as an argumM
ent against this assertion, since faced with the British Empire, one is inclined to overlook the existence of the Anglo-Saxon world as such. Britain
s position cannot be compared with that of any other State in Europe, since together with the U.S.A. it forms a vast community of language and culture. Therefore, the only possibility which Germany had of carrying into effect a sound territorial policy of expansion was that of acquiring new territory in Europe itself.</p><blockquote><p>157</p></blockquote><p>ColoniesM
cannot serve this purpose as long as they are not suited for settlement by Europeans on a large scale. In the nineteenth century it was no longer possible to acquire such colonies by peaceful means. Therefore, any attempt at such a colonial expansion would have meant an enormous military struggle. Consequently, it would, have been more practical to undertake that military struggle for new territory in Europe, rather than to wage war for the acquisition of possessions abroad. Such a decision naturally demanded thatM
s undivided energies should be devoted to it. A policy of that kind which requires for its fulfilment every ounce of available energy on the part of all concerned, cannot be carried into effect by half-measures or in a hesitating manner. The political activity of the German Reich should then have been directed exclusively towards this goal. No political step should have been taken as a result of any other consideration unconnected with this task and the means of accomplishing it. Germany should have bM
een alive to the fact that such a goal could have been reached only by war, and the prospect of war should have been faced with calm and collected determination. The whole system of alliances should have been envisaged and valued from that standpoint. If new territory had to be acquired in Europe it could have been done mainly at Russia
s expense, and once again the new German Reich should have set out on its march alone the same road as was formerly trodden by the Teutonic Knights, in order to acquire soil for tM
he German plough by means of the German sword, and thus provide the nation with its daily bread. For such a policy, however, there would have been only one possible ally in Europe and that was Britain. Only by alliance with Britain would it have been possible to safeguard the rear of the new German crusade. The justification for undertaking such a campaign would have been no less strong than the justification which our forefathers had for setting out on theirs. Not one of our pacifists refuses to eat the bread madeM
from the grain grown in the eastern provinces, and yet the first ploughing there was done by the sword.</p><blockquote><p>158</p></blockquote><p>No sacrifice should have been considered too great if it was a necessary means of gaining Britain
s friendship. Colonial and naval ambitions should have been abandoned and attempts should not have been made to compete against British industries. Only a clear and definite policy could lead to such an achievement. Such a policy would have demanded a renunciation of world M
trade, colonial intentions and naval power. All the means of power at the disposal of the State should have been concentrated in the military forces on land. This policy would have involved a period of temporary self-denial, for the sake of a great and powerful future. There was a time when Britain might have entered into negotiations with us on the grounds of that proposal, for Britain would have well understood that the problems arising from the steady increase in population were forcing Germany to look for a solM
ution either in Europe with the help of Britain or, without Britain, in some other part of the world. This outlook was probably the chief reason why Britain tried to draw nearer to Germany about the close of the century. For the first time in Germany an attitude was then manifested which afterwards displayed itself in a most tragic way. People then gave expression to an unpleasant feeling that we might thus find ourselves obliged to do Britain
s dirty work as if an alliance could be based on anything else than muM
tual give-and-take! And British diplomats were still clever enough to know that an equivalent must be forthcoming in return for any services rendered. Let us suppose that in 1904, our German foreign policy was managed astutely enough to enable us to play the part which Japan played. It is not easy to measure the greatness of the results that might have accrued to Germany from such a policy. There would have been no World War. The blood which would have been shed in 1904 would not have been one tenth of that shed beM
tween 1914 and 1918, and what a position Germany would hold in the world to-day! In any case, the alliance with Austria would then have been an absurdity, for this mummy of a State did not attach itself to Germany for the purpose of carrying through a war, but rather to maintain a perpetual state of peace which was meant to be exploited for the purpose of slowly but persistently exterminating the German element in the Dual Monarchy.</p><blockquote><p>159</p></blockquote><p>Another reason for the impossibility of foM
rming this alliance was that nobody could expect this State to take an active part in defending German national interests, as long as it did not have sufficient strength and determination to put an end to the policy of de-Germanisation just beyond its own frontiers. If Germany was not moved by a sufficiently powerful national sentiment and was not sufficiently ruthless to take away from that absurd Habsburg State the right to decide the destinies often million inhabitants who were of the same nationality as the GerM
mans themselves, surely it was out of the question to expect her to engage in any far-sighted and courageous undertaking. The attitude of the old Reich towards the Austrian question might have been taken as a test of its stamina for the struggle in which the destiny of the whole nation was at stake. In any case, the policy of oppression against the German population in Austria should not have been allowed to go on and to become more pronounced year by year, for the value of Austria as an ally depended solely on theM
preservation of the German element in that country. That course was not followed. Nothing was, dreaded so much as the possibility of an armed conflict; but finally, and at a most unfavourable moment, the conflict had to be faced. Germany thought to cut herself loose from the cords of Destiny, but Destiny held her fast. She dreamt of maintaining a world peace and woke up to find herself in a world war. That dream of peace was a most significant reason why the abovementioned third alternative for the future developmM
ent of Germany was not even taken into consideration. The fact was recognised that new territory could be gained only in the east of Europe, but this meant that there would be fighting ahead, whereas Germany wanted peace at any cost. The slogan of German foreign policy had altered from
Preservation of the German nation at all costs
Preservation of world-peace at any price.
We know what the result was. I shall resume the discussion of this point in detail later on. There remained still another alternaM
tive, which we may call the fourth, namely, industry and world trade, naval power and colonies.</p><blockquote><p>160</p></blockquote><p>Such a development might certainly have been achieved more easily and more rapidly. To colonise a territory is a slow process, often extending over centuries. Yet this fact is the source of its inner strength; for it is not through a sudden burst of enthusiasm that it can be put into effect, but rather through a gradual and enduring process of growth quite different from industriaM
l progress, which can be artificially speeded up within a few years. The result thus achieved, however, is not of lasting quality but something frail, like a soap-bubble. It is much easier to build a fleet quickly than to carry through the tough task of settling a territory with farmers and establishing farmsteads, but the former is also more quickly destroyed than the latter. In adopting such a course Germany must have known that to follow it out, would necessarily mean war sooner or later. Only children could havM
e believed that sweet and unctuous expressions of friendship and persistent avowals of peaceful intentions could get them their bananas through this
friendly competition between the nations,
without the prospect of ever having to fight for them. Once we had taken this road, Britain was bound to be our enemy at some time to come. Of course it fitted in nicely with our innocent assumptions, but still it was absurd to grow indignant at the fact that a day came when the British took the liberty of opposing our peM
aceful penetration with the brutality of violent egotists. Naturally, we, on our side, would never have done such a thing. If a European territorial policy of expansion against Russia could have been put into practice only if we had had Britain as our ally, a colonial and world-trade policy on the other hand, could have been carried into effect only against British interests and with the support of Russia. But then this policy should have been adopted in full consciousness of all the consequences it involved and, aM
bove all things, Austria should have been discarded as quickly as possible. At the close of the century the alliance with Austria had become a veritable absurdity from all points of view, but nobody thought of forming an alliance with Russia against Britain, just as nobody thought of making Britain an ally against Russia, for in either case, the final result would inevitably have been war, and to avoid war was the very reason why a commercial and industrial policy was decided upon.</p><blockquote><p>161</p></blockqM
uote><p>It was believed that the peaceful conquest of the world by commercial means provided a method which would permanently supplant the policy of, force. Occasionally, however, there were doubts about the efficacy of this principle, especially when some quite incomprehensible warnings were now and again uttered by Britain. That was the reason why the fleet was built. It was not for the purpose of attacking or annihilating Britain, but merely to defend the concept of world peace, mentioned above, and also to defeM
nd the principle of conquering the world by
means. Therefore this fleet was kept within such limits as made it inferior to the British fleet, not only as regards the number and tonnage of the vessels, but also in regard to their armament, the idea being to furnish new proofs of peaceful intentions. The chatter about the peaceful conquest of the world by commercial means was probably the most completely nonsensical stuff ever raised to the dignity of a guiding principle in the policy of a State. This M
nonsense became even more foolish when Britain was pointed out as a typical example to prove how the thing could be done. Our intellectual attitude towards history and our professorial ideas in that domain have done irreparable harm and offer a striking proof of how people
history without understanding anything of it. As a matter of fact. Britain ought to have been looked upon as a convincing argument against the theory of pacific conquest of the world by commercial means. No nation prepared the way forM
its commercial conquests more brutally than Britain did by means of the sword and no other nation has defended such conquests more ruthlessly. Is it not a characteristic quality of British statecraft that it knows how to use political power in order to gain economic advantages and, inversely, to turn economic conquests into political power? What an astounding error it was to believe that Britain would not have the courage to shed her own blood for the purpose of economic expansion! The fact that Britain did not poM
ssess a national army proved nothing, for it is not the actual military structure of the moment that matters, but rather the will and determination to use whatever military strength is available.</p><blockquote><p>162</p></blockquote><p>Britain has always had the armament which she needed. She always fought with those weapons which were necessary for success. She sent mercenary troops to fight as long as mercenaries, sufficed, but she never hesitated to draw heavily and deeply on the best blood of the whole nation M
when victory could be obtained only by such a sacrifice, and in every case the fighting spirit, dogged determination, and use of brutal means in conducting military operations have always remained the same. But in Germany, through the medium of the schools, the press and the comic papers, there was gradually formed an idea of the Englishman and, to a greater degree, of his Empire, which was bound eventually to lead to the worst kind of self-deception. This absurdity slowly, but persistently, spread to every sectionM
of the German nation. The result was an undervaluation for which we have had to pay a heavy penalty. The delusion was so profound that the Englishman was looked upon as a shrewd business man, but at the same time, as a physical coward. Unfortunately, our sagacious teachers of history did not realise that it is not possible to build up such a mighty organisation as the British Empire by mere swindle and fraud. The few who called attention to that truth were either ignored or silenced. I can call vividly to mind theM
astonished looks of my comrades when they found themselves for the first time face to face with the Tommies in Flanders. After a few days of fighting the consciousness slowly dawned on our soldiers that those Scotsmen were not like the ones we had seen described and caricatured in the comic papers and mentioned in the communiques. It was then that I formed my first ideas on the efficiency of various forms of propaganda. Such a falsification, however, served the purpose of those who were responsible for it. This caM
ricature of the Englishman, though false, could be used to prove the possibility of conquering the world, peacefully by commercial means. Where the Englishman had succeeded we should also succeed.</p><blockquote><p>163</p></blockquote><p>Our far greater honesty and our freedom from that specifically English
would be assets on our side. Thereby it was hoped that the sympathy of the smaller nations and the confidence of the greater nations could be gained more easily. Because we ourselves believed in itM
, we did not realise that our honesty was an object of profound aversion to other people. The rest of the world looked on our behaviour as the manifestation of a shrewd deceitfulness and it was not until the revolution came, that they were amazed at the deeper insight it gave them into our mentality, sincere even beyond the limits of stupidity. Once we understand the part played by that absurd notion of conquering the world by peaceful commercial means, we can clearly understand how that other absurdity, the TripleM
Alliance, came to exist. With what State then could an alliance have been made? In alliance with Austria we could not acquire new territory by military means, even in Europe, and this very fact was the real reason for the inner weakness of the Triple Alliance. A Bismarck could permit himself such a makeshift, but certainly not any of his bungling successors, least of all when the foundations no longer existed on which lie had formed the Triple Alliance. In Bismarck
s time Austria could still be looked upon as a M
German State but the gradual introduction of universal suffrage turned, the country into a parliamentary Babel in which the German voice was scarcely audible. From the point of view of racial policy, this alliance with Austria was simply disastrous. A new Slav Great Power was allowed to grow up close to the frontiers of the German Reich. Later on this Power was bound to adopt towards Germany an attitude different from that of Russia, for example. The alliance was thus bound to become more empty and more feeble, becM
ause its only supporters were losing their influence and were being systematically pushed out of the more important public offices. About the year 1900, the alliance with Austria had already entered upon the same phase as the alliance between Austria and Italy. Here also only two alternatives were possible
either to take the side of the Habsburg Monarchy or to raise a protest against the oppression of the German element in Austria. But, generally speaking, when one adopts such a course it is bound eventually to lM
ead to open conflict.</p><blockquote><p>164</p></blockquote><p>From the psychological point of view also, the value of the Triple Alliance was slight, since the soundness of an alliance diminishes in the same ratio in which its object is limited to the defence of the status quo. On the other hand, an alliance will increase in strength the more the parties concerned in it may hope to use it as a means of reaching some practical goal of expansion. Here, as everywhere else, strength lies not in defence, but in attack.M
This truth was recognised in various quarters but, unfortunately, not by those called upon to rule the people. As early as 1912, Ludendorff, who was then colonel and attached to the General Staff, pointed out these weak features of the alliance in a memorandum, but of course the
did not attach any importance or value to that document. In general it would seem as if common sense were a faculty that is present only in the case of ordinary mortals but is entirely absent when we come to deal with that M
branch of the species known as
It was lucky for Germany that the war of 1914 broke out with Austria as its direct cause, for thus the Habsburgs were compelled to participate. Had the situation been reversed, Germany would have been left to her own resources. The Habsburg State would never have been ready or willing to take part in a war, for the outbreak of which Germany was responsible. What was the object of so much obloquy later in the case of Italy, would have taken place, only earlier, in the M
case of Austria. In other words, if Germany had been forced to go to war for some reason of her own, Austria would have remained
in order to safeguard the State against a revolution which might have begun immediately after the war had started. The Slav element would have preferred to smash up the Dual Monarchy in 1914 rather than permit it to come to the assistance of Germany, but at that time there were only a few who understood all the dangers and difficulties which resulted from the alliance with tM
he Danubian Monarchy. In the first place, Austria had too many enemies who were eagerly looking forward to obtaining the heritage of that decrepit State and who gradually developed a certain animosity against Germany, because Germany was an obstacle to their desires inasmuch as she kept the Dual Monarchy from falling to pieces, an event that was hoped for on all sides. The conviction developed that Vienna could be reached only via Berlin.</p><blockquote><p>165</p></blockquote><p>In the second place, by adopting thiM
s policy Germany lost her best and most promising chances of other alliances. In place of these possibilities one now observed a growing tension in her relations with Russia and even with Italy, and this in spite of the fact that the general attitude in Rome was just as favourable to Germany as it was hostile to Austria
a hostility which lay dormant in the individual Italian and broke out violently on occasion. Since a commercial and industrial policy had been adopted, no motive was left for waging war against RuM
ssia. Only the enemies of the two countries, Germany and Russia, could, in these circumstances, have an active interest in such a war. As a matter of fact, it was only the Jews and the Marxists who tried to stir up bad blood between the two States. In the third place, the alliance constituted a permanent danger to German security, for any Great Power that was hostile to Bismarck
s Reich could mobilise a number of other States in a war against Germany by promising them tempting spoils at the expense of the AustriaM
n ally. It was possible to arouse the whole of Eastern Europe against Austria, especially Russia and Italy. The world coalition which had developed under the leadership of King Edward could never have become a reality if Germany
s ally, Austria, had not offered such an alluring prospect of booty. It was this fact alone which made it possible to combine so many heterogeneous States with divergent interests into one common phalanx of attack. Every member could hope to enrich himself at the expense of Austria, if heM
joined in the general attack against Germany. The fact that Turkey was also a tacit party to the unfortunate alliance with Austria augmented Germany
s peril to an extraordinary degree. Jewish international finance needed the bait of the Austrian heritage in order to carry out its plans of ruining Germany, for Germany had not yet surrendered to their general and international control in the sphere of trade and finance. Thus it was possible to consolidate that coalition and make it strong enough and brave enough, M
through sheer weight of numbers, to join in a conflict with the
Siegfried.</p><blockquote><p>166</p></blockquote><p>The alliance with the Habsburg Monarchy, which I loathed while still in Austria, was the subject of grave concern on my part and caused me to meditate on it so persistently that I was confirmed in the opinions which I had previously formed. Among the few people with whom I consorted at that time I did not conceal my conviction that this sinister agreement with a State doomed to collapse wM
ould also bring catastrophe to Germany if she did not free herself in time. I never for a moment wavered in that firm conviction, even when the tempest of the World War seemed to have made shipwreck of the reasoning faculty itself and had put blind enthusiasm in its place, even among those circles where the coolest and hardest objective thinking ought to have held sway. In the trenches, I voiced and upheld my own opinion whenever these problems came under discussion. I held that to abandon the Habsburg Monarchy wouM
ld involve no sacrifice, if Germany could thereby reduce the number of her own enemies, for the millions of Germans who had donned the steel helmet had done so, not in order to fight for the maintenance of corrupt dynasty, but rather for the salvation of the German people. Before the War there were occasions on which it seemed that at least one section of the German public had some slight misgivings about the political wisdom of the alliance with Austria. From time to time German conservative circles issued warningM
s against being over-confident about the worth of that alliance; but, like every other sensible suggestion made at that time, it was thrown to the winds. The general conviction was that the right measures had been adopted to
the world, that the success of these measures would be enormous and the sacrifices negligible. Once again the
layman could do nothing but look on while the
headed straight for disaster enticing their beloved people to follow them, as the rats followedM
the Pied Piper of Hamelin. If we would look for the deeper grounds which made it possible to foist on the people this absurd notion of peacefully conquering the world through commercial penetration, and ask how it was possible to put forward the maintenance of world-peace as a national aim, we shall find that these grounds lay in the general morbid condition of German political thought.</p><blockquote><p>167</p></blockquote><p>The triumphant progress of technical science in Germany and the marvellous development oM
f German industry and commerce led us to forget that a powerful State had been the necessary prerequisite of that success. On the contrary, certain circles even went so far as to give vent to the theory that the State owed its very existence to these phenomena; that it was, above all, an economic institution and should be constituted in accordance with economic interests. Therefore, it was held, the State was dependent on the economic structure. This condition of things was looked upon and glorified as the soundestM
and most normal. Now, the truth is that the State in itself has nothing whatsoever to do with a definite economic concept or a definite economic development. It does not arise from a compact made between contracting parties, within a certain delimited territory, for the purpose of serving economic ends. The State is a community of living beings who have kindred physical and spiritual natures, organised for the purpose of ensuring the conservation of their own kind and fulfilling those ends which Providence has assM
igned to that particular race or racial branch. Therein, and therein alone, lies the purpose and meaning of a State. Economic activity is one of the many auxiliary means which are necessary for the attainment of those aims. But economic activity is never the origin or purpose of a State, except where a State has, from the outset, been founded on a false and unnatural basis. This alone explains why a State as such does not necessarily need a certain delimited territory as a condition of its foundation. This conditioM
n becomes a necessary prerequisite only among those people who would provide and assure subsistence for their kinsfolk through their own industry, which means that they are ready to carry on the struggle for existence by means of their own work. People who can sneak their way, like parasites, into the bosom of other nations, and make others work for them on various pretences, can form a State without possessing any definite delimited territory.</p><blockquote><p>168</p></blockquote><p>This is chiefly applicable to M
that parasitic race which, particularly at the present time, preys upon the honest portion of mankind; I mean the Jews. The Jewish State has never been delimited in space. It has been spread all over the world, without any frontiers whatsoever, and has always been constituted from the membership of one race exclusively. That is why the Jews have always formed a State within the State. One of the most ingenious tricks ever devised has been that of sailing the Jewish ship of state under the flag of religion and thus M
securing that tolerance which Aryans are always ready to grant to different religious faiths. The Mosaic Law is really nothing else than the doctrine of the preservation of the Jewish race and, therefore, includes all spheres of sociological, political and economic science which have a bearing on the main end in view. The instinct for the preservation of one
s own species is the primary cause that leads to the formation of human communities. Hence, the State is a racial organism, and not an economic organisation.M
The difference between the two is so great as to be incomprehensible to our contemporary so-called
That is why they like to believe that the State can be built up on an economic basis, whereas the truth is that it has always resulted from the exercise of those qualities which are part of the will to preserve the species end the race. These qualities always exist and operate through the heroic virtues and have nothing to do with commercial egotism, for the conservation of the species always presuppM
oses that the individual is ready to sacrifice himself. Such is the meaning of the poet
s lines:</p><p><em>Und setzet ihr nicht das Leben ein, Nie wird euch das Leben gewonnen sein.</em>(And if you do not stake your life, You will never win life for yourself.)</p><p>The sacrifice of the individual existence is necessary in order to assure the conservation of the race. Hence it is that the most essential condition for the establishment and maintenance of a State is a certain feeling of solidarity, grounded in an iM
dentity of character and race and in a readiness to defend these at all costs.</p><blockquote><p>169</p></blockquote><p>With people who live on their own territory this will result in a development of the heroic virtues; with a parasitic people it will develop into hypocrisy and perfidious cruelty, unless we admit that these characteristics are innate and that the varying political forms through which the parasitic race expresses itself are only the outward manifestation of innate characteristics. At least in the bM
eginning, the formation of a State can result only from a manifestation of the heroic qualities I have mentioned, and the people who fail in the struggle for existence, that is to say, those who become vassals and are thereby condemned to disappear entirely sooner or later, are those who do not display the heroic virtues in the struggle, or those who fall victims to the, perfidy of the parasites. Even in this latter case the failure is not so much due to lack of intellectual powers, but rather to a lack of courage M
and determination, which attempts to disguise itself as humane feeling. The qualities which are employed for the foundation and preservation of a State have accordingly little or nothing to do with trade and industry, and this is conspicuously demonstrated by the fact that the inner strength of a State only very rarely coincides with what is called its economic expansion. On the contrary, there are numerous examples to show that a period of economic prosperity indicates the approaching decline of a State. If it werM
e correct to attribute the foundation of human communities to economic forces, then the power of the State as such would be at its highest pitch during periods of economic prosperity, and not vice versa. It is especially difficult to understand how the belief that the State is brought into being and preserved by economic forces could gain currency in a country which has given proof of the opposite in every phase of its history. The history of Prussia shows, with particular clarity and distinctness, that it is as a M
result of the moral, virtues of the people and not of their economic circumstances, that a State is formed. It is only under the protection of those virtues that economic activities can be developed and the latter will continue to flourish until a time comes when the creative political capacity declines. Thereupon the economic structure will also break down, a phenomenon</p><blockquote><p>170</p></blockquote><p>which is now happening in an alarming manner before our eyes. The material interests of mankind can prospM
er only in the shade of the heroic virtues; the moment they become the primary considerations of life they wreck the basis of their own existence. Whenever the political power of Germany was especially strong the economic situation also improved, but whenever economic interests alone occupied the foremost place in the life of the people, and thrust ideals into the background, the State collapsed and economic ruin soon followed. If we consider the question of what those forces actually are which are necessary for thM
e creation and preservation of a State, we can sum them up in the phrase,
the capacity and readiness of the individual to sacrifice himself for the common welfare.
That these qualities have nothing at all to do with economics can be proved by referring to the simple fact that man does not sacrifice himself for material interests. In other words, he will die for an ideal, but not for a business. The marvellous gift of public psychology which the English possess was never better shown than in the way in which tM
hey presented their case in the World War. We were fighting for our bread; but the English declared that they were fighting for
and not even for their own freedom, but for the freedom of the small nations. German people laughed at that piece of effrontery and were angered by it, but in doing so they showed how political thought had declined among our so-called diplomats in Germany, even before the War. These diplomatists did not have the slightest notion of that force which makes men face death of thM
eir own free will and determination. As long as the German people continued to believe that they were fighting for ideals in the War of 1914, they stood firm. As soon as they were told that they were fighting only for their daily bread they began to give up the struggle. Our clever
were greatly amazed at this change of feeling. They never understood that as soon as man is called upon to struggle for purely material causes he will avoid death as best he can, for death and the enjoyment of the materiaM
l fruits of a victory are quite incompatible concepts.</p><blockquote><p>171</p></blockquote><p>The frailest woman will become a heroine when the life of her own child is at stake, and only the will to save their race and native land or the State, which offers protection to their race, has, throughout the ages, been the urge which has forced men to face the weapons of their enemies. The following may be proclaimed as a truth that always holds good: A State has never arisen from commercial causes for the purpose of M
peacefully serving commercial ends. States have always arisen from the instinct to maintain the racial group, whether this instinct manifest itself in the heroic sphere or in the sphere of cunning and chicanery. In the first instance we have the Aryan States, based on the principle of work and cultural development; in the second, we have the Jewish parasitic colonies. As soon as economic interests begin to predominate over the racial and cultural instincts of a people or a State, these economic interests become theM
disintegrating cause that leads to subjugation and oppression. The belief, which prevailed in Germany before the War, that the world could be opened up and even conquered for Germany through a system of peaceful commercial penetration and a colonial policy, was a typical symptom which indicated the decline of those real qualities whereby States are created and preserved, and indicated also the decline of that insight, will-power and practical determination which go with those qualities. The World War, with its conM
sequences, was the natural outcome of that decline. To anyone who had not thought over the matter deeply, this attitude of the German people
which was quite general
must have seemed an insoluble enigma. After all, Germany herself was a magnificent example of an empire that had been built up purely by a policy of power. Prussia, which was the generative cell of the German Reich, had been created by brilliant heroic deeds and not by a financial or commercial compact, and the Reich itself was but the magnificent rM
ecompense for a leadership that had been conducted on a policy of power and military valour. How then did it happen that the political instincts of this very same German people became so degenerate? It was not merely one isolated phenomenon which pointed to this decadence, but morbid symptoms which appeared in alarming numbers, now all over the body politic, or eating into the body of the nation, like a gangrenous ulcer.</p><blockquote><p>172</p></blockquote><p>It seemed as if some all-pervading poisonous fluid hadM
been injected by some mysterious hand into the bloodstream of this once heroic body, bringing about a creeping paralysis that affected the reason and the elementary instinct of self-preservation. During the years 1912
1914, I used to ponder perpetually on those problems which related to the policy of the Triple Alliance and the economic policy then being pursued by the German Reich. Once again I came to the conclusion that the only explanation of this enigma lay in the operation of that force with which I had alM
ready become acquainted in Vienna, though from a different angle. The force to which I refer was the Marxist teaching and<i>Weltanschauung</i>and its organised action throughout the nation. For the second time in my life I plunged deep into the study of that destructive teaching. This time, however, I was not urged to the study of the question by the impressions and influences of my daily environment, but directed rather by the observation of general phenomena in the political life of Germany. In delving again intoM
the theoretical literature of this new world and endeavouring to get a clear view of the possible consequences of its teaching, I compared, the theoretical principles of Marxism with the phenomena and happenings brought about by its activities in the political, cultural, and economic spheres. For the first time in my life I now turned my attention to the efforts that were being made to subdue this universal pest. I studied Bismarck
s exceptional legislation, in its original concept, its operation and its resultsM
. Gradually I formed a basis for my own opinions, which has proved as solid as a rock, so that ever since have I had to change my attitude towards the general problem. I also made a further and more thorough analysis of the relations between Marxism and Jewry. During my sojourn in Vienna I used to look upon Germany as an imperturbable colossus, but now serious doubts and misgivings often assailed me.</p><blockquote><p>173</p></blockquote><p>In my own mind and in my conversation with my small circle of acquaintancesM
I used to criticise Germany
s foreign policy and the incredibly superficial way, according to my thinking, in which Marxism was dealt with, though it was then the most important problem in Germany. I could not understand how Germany could stumble blindfold into the midst of this peril, the effects of which would be momentous if the openly declared aims of Marxism could be put into practice. Even as early as that time I warned people around me, just as I am warning a wider audience now, against that soothing slogM
an of all indolent and cowardly natures: Nothing can happen to us. A similar mental contagion had already destroyed a mighty empire. Can Germany escape the operation of those laws to which all other human communities are subject? In the years 1913 and 1914, I expressed my opinion for the first time in various circles, some of which are now supporters of the National Socialist Movement, that the problem of how the future of the German nation can be secured is the problem of how Marxism can be exterminated. I consideM
red the disastrous German policy of alliances as one of the consequences resulting from the disintegrating effects of the Marxist teaching, for the alarming feature was that this teaching was invisibly corrupting the foundations of a healthy political and economic outlook. Those who had been themselves contaminated frequently did not realise that their aims and actions sprang from this<i>Weltanschauung</i>, which they otherwise openly repudiated. Long before then, the spiritual and moral decline of the German peoplM
e had set in, though those who were affected by this morbid decadence were frequently unaware
of the forces which were breaking up their very existence. Sometimes they tried to cure the disease by
the symptoms, which were taken as the cause, but since nobody recognised or wanted to recognise the real cause of the disease, this way of combating Marxism was no more effective than the application of some quack
s ointment.</p><blockquote><p>174</p></blockquote><blockquote><p>175</M
p></blockquote><blockquote><p>176</p></blockquote><h1 id="chapter-v-the-world-war">CHAPTER V: THE WORLD WAR</h1><p>During the boisterous years of my youth, nothing used to damp my wild spirits so much as to think that I was born at a time when the world had manifestly decided not to erect any more temples of fame except in honour of business people and government officials. The tempest of historical achievements seemed to have permanently subsided, so much so, that the future appeared to be irrevocably delivered ovM
er to what was called peaceful competition between the nations. This simply meant a system of mutual exploitation by fraudulent means, the principle of resorting to the use of force in self-defence being formally excluded. Individual countries increasingly assumed the appearance of commercial undertakings, grabbing territory, clients and concessions from each other under any and every kind of pretext, and it was all carried out to the accompaniment of loud but innocuous shouting. This trend of affairs seemed destinM
ed to develop steadily and permanently. Having the support of public approbation, it seemed bound eventually to transform the world into a mammoth department store. In the vestibule of this emporium there would be rows of monumental busts which would confer immortality on those profiteers who had proved themselves the shrewdest at their trade and those administrative officials who had shown themselves the most innocuous. The salesmen could be represented by the English and the administrative functionaries by the GeM
rmans; whereas the Jews would have to sacrifice themselves and be content with the unprofitable calling, of proprietorship, for they are constantly avowing that they make no profits and are always being called upon to
Moreover, they have the advantage of being versed in foreign languages. Why could I not have been born a hundred years ago, I used to ask myself, somewhere about the time of the Wars of Liberation, when a man was still of some value even though he had no
hink it an ill-deserved stroke of bad luck that I had arrived too late on this terrestrial globe and I felt chagrined at the idea that my life would have to run its course along peaceful and orderly lines.</p><blockquote><p>177</p></blockquote><p>As a boy I was anything but a pacifist and all attempts to make me so turned out futile. Then the Boer War came, like a flash of lightning on the far horizon. Day after day, I used to gaze intently at the newspapers and I almost
the telegrams and communiquesM
, overjoyed to think that I could witness that heroic struggle, even though from so great a distance. When the Russo-Japanese War came, I was older and better able to judge for myself. For national reasons I then took the side of the Japanese in our discussions and I looked upon the defeat of the Russians as a blow to Austrian Slavism. Many years had passed between that time and my arrival in Munich. I now realised that what I formerly believed to be a morbid decadence was only the lull before the storm. During my M
Vienna days, the Balkans were already in the grip of that sultry pause which presages the violent storm. Here and there, a flash of lightning could be seen occasionally, but it rapidly disappeared in sinister gloom. Then the Balkan War broke out, and with it, the first gusts of the coming tornado swept across a highly strung Europe. In the supervening calm men felt the atmosphere oppressive with foreboding, so much so that the sense of an impending catastrophe became transformed into a feeling of impatient expectanM
cy. They wished that Heaven would give free rein to the fate which could now no longer be curbed. Then the first great bolt of lightning struck the earth. The storm broke and the thunder of the heavens intermingled with the roar of the cannons in the World War. When the news came to Munich that the Archduke Franz Ferdinand had been murdered, I had been at home all day and did not learn the particulars of how it happened. At first, I feared that the shots had been fired by some German-Austrian students who had been M
aroused to a state of furious indignation by the persistent pro-Slav activities of the heir to the Habsburg throne and therefore wished to liberate the German population from this internal enemy. It was quite easy to imagine what the result of such a mistake would have been.</p><blockquote><p>178</p></blockquote><p>It would have brought on, a new wave of persecution, the motives of which would have been
before the whole world, but soon afterwards I heard the names of the presumed assassins and learnM
ed also that they were known to be Serbs. I felt somewhat dumbfounded in face of the inexorable vengeance which Destiny had wrought. The greatest friend of the Slavs had fallen a victim to the bullets of Slav patriots. Anyone who was in a position to observe attentively the reactions between Austria and Serbia during those latter years must surely have realised that something had been set in motion which could no longer be checked. It is unjust to the Austrian Government of that time to blame it now for the form anM
d tenor of the ultimatum which was then presented. In a similar position and in similar circumstances, no other Power in the world would have acted otherwise. On her southern frontiers Austria had a relentless mortal foe who indulged in acts of provocation against the Dual Monarchy at intervals which were becoming more and more frequent. This persistent line of conduct would not have been relaxed until the arrival of the opportune moment for the destruction of the Empire. In Austria there was good reason to fear thM
at, at the latest, this moment would come with the death of the old Emperor. Once that had taken place, it was quite possible that the Monarchy would not be able to offer any serious resistance. For some years past, the State had been so completely identified with the personality of Franz Joseph that, in the eyes of the great mass of the people, the death of this venerable personification of the Empire would be tantamount to the death of the Empire itself. Indeed, it was one of the clever artifices of Slav policy tM
o foster the impression that the Austrian State owed its very existence exclusively to the extraordinary and rare talents of that monarch. This kind of flattery was particularly welcome, at the Hofburg, all the more so, because it had no relation whatever to the services actually rendered by the Emperor. No effort whatsoever was made to locate the carefully prepared sting which lay hidden in this glorifying praise. One fact which was entirely overlooked, perhaps intentionally, was that the more the Empire remained M
dependent on the so-called administrative talent of
the wisest monarch of all times,
the more catastrophic would be the situation when Death came to knock at the door and demand its tribute.</p><blockquote><p>179</p></blockquote><p>Was it possible even to imagine the Austrian Empire without its venerable ruler? Would not the tragedy which befell Maria Theresia be repeated at once? It is unjust to governmental circles in Vienna to reproach them with having instigated a war which might have been prevented. The M
war was bound to come. Perhaps it might have been postponed for a year or two at the most, but it had always been the misfortune of German as well as of Austrian diplomats that they endeavoured to put off the inevitable day of reckoning, with the result, that they were finally compelled to deliver their blow at a most inopportune moment. There is every reason to believe that another attempt to preserve peace would only have served to postpone the war until an even more unpropitious moment. Those who did not wish thM
is war ought to have had the courage to take the consequences of the refusal upon themselves. Those consequences must necessarily have meant the sacrifice of Austria, and even then war would have come not as a war in which all the nations were banded together against us, but in the form of a dismemberment of the Habsburg Monarchy. In that case we should have had to decide whether we should come to the assistance of the Habsburgs or stand aside as spectators, with our arms folded, and thus allow fate to run its courM
se. Those who are loudest in their imprecations to-day and make a great parade of wisdom in judging the causes of the war are the very people whose activities were the most fatal factor in steering us into the war. For several decades previously the German Social Democrats had been agitating in an underhand and knavish way for war against Russia, whereas the German Centre Party, with, religious ends in view, had worked to make the Austrian State the chief centre and turning-point of German policy. The consequences M
of this folly had now to be borne. What came was bound to come and in no circumstances could it have been avoided. The fault of the German Government lay in the fact that, merely for the sake of preserving peace at all costs, they continued to miss the occasions that were favourable for action, got entangled in an alliance for the purpose of preserving the peace of the world, and thus finally became the victim of a world coalition which opposed the German effort for the maintenance of peace and was determined to brM
ing about the World War.</p><blockquote><p>180</p></blockquote><p>Had the Austrian Government of that time formulated its ultimatum in less drastic terms, that would not have altered the situation at all, except inasmuch as they themselves might have become the victims of public indignation, for, in the eyes of the great masses, the ultimatum was toe moderate and certainly not excessive or brutal. Those who would deny this to-day are either simpletons with feeble memories or else deliberate falsehoodmongers. The waM
r of 1914 was certainly not forced on the masses; it was even desired by the whole people. There was a desire to bring the general feeling of uncertainty to an end once and for all. And it is only in the light of this fact that we can understand how more than two million German men and youths voluntarily joined the colours, ready to shed the last drop, of their blood for the cause. For me those hours came as a deliverance from the distress that had weighed upon me during the days of my youth. I am not ashamed to acM
knowledge to-day that I was carried away by the enthusiasm of the moment and that I sank down upon my knees and thanked Heaven out of the fullness of my heart for the favour of having been permitted to live in such a time. The fight for freedom had broken out on a scale unparalleled in the history of the world. From the moment that Fate took the helm in hand, the conviction grew among the masses of the people that now it was not a question of deciding the destinies of Austria or Serbia, but that the very existence M
of the German nation itself was at stake. For the last time, during many years of blindness, the people saw clearly into the future. Therefore, almost immediately after the gigantic struggle had begun, an excessive enthusiasm was replaced by a more earnest and more fitting undertone, because the exaltation of the popular spirit was not a mere passing frenzy. It was only too necessary that the gravity of the situation should be recognised. At that time, there was, generally speaking, not the slightest presentiment oM
r conception of how long the war might last.</p><blockquote><p>181</p></blockquote><p>People dreamed of the soldiers being home by Christmas and that then they would resume their daily work in peace. Whatever mankind desires, that it will hope for and believe in. The overwhelming majority of the people had long since grown weary of the perpetual insecurity in the general condition of public affairs. Hence, it was only natural that no one believed that the Austro-Serbian conflict could be shelved. Therefore, they loM
oked forward to a radical settlement of accounts. I also belonged to the millions that desired this. The moment the, news of the Sarajevo outrage reached Munich two ideas came into my mind: First, that war was absolutely inevitable and, second, that the Habsburg State would now be forced to honour its signature to the Alliance, for what I had feared most was that one day Germany herself, perhaps as a result of the Alliance, would become involved in a conflict the direct cause of which was not Austria. In such a conM
tingency, I feared that the Austrian State, for domestic political reasons, would find itself unable to decide in favour of its ally. The pro-Slav majority within the country would have immediately set to work to destroy any such intention and would rather have had the entire State go to rack and ruin than lend its ally the necessary assistance. But now this danger was removed. The old State was compelled to fight, whether it wished to do so or not. My own attitude towards the conflict was equally simple and clear.M
I believed that it was not a case of Austria fighting to get satisfaction from Serbia, but rather a case of Germany fighting for her own existence
the German nation for its own
for its freedom and for its future. The work of Bismarck must now be carried on. Young Germany must show herself worthy of the blood shed by our fathers on so many heroic fields of battle, from Weissenburg to Sedan and Paris, and if this struggle should bring us victory, our people would again rank foremostM
among the great nations. Only then could the German Reich assert itself as the mighty champion of peace, without the necessity of restricting the daily bread of its children for the sake of maintaining that peace.</p><blockquote><p>182</p></blockquote><p>As a boy and as a young man, I often longed for the occasion to prove that my national enthusiasm was not mere vapouring. Hurrahing sometimes seemed to me to be a kind of sin, since I had not yet by my own actions earned the right to do so, for, after all, who hasM
the right to shout that triumphant cry if he has not won that right where there is no play-acting and where the hand of the goddess of Destiny puts the truth and sincerity of nations and men to her inexorable test? Just as millions of others, I felt a proud joy in being permitted to go through this test. I had so often sung<i>Deutschland uber Alles</i>and so often roared
that, I now thought it a kind of retrospective grace that I was granted the right of appearing before the court of eternal justM
ice to testify to the truth of those sentiments. One thing was clear to me from the very beginning, namely, that in the event of war, which now seemed inevitable, my books would have to be thrown aside forthwith. I also realised that my place would have to be where the inner voice of conscience called me. I had left Austria principally for political reasons. What, therefore, could be more natural than that I should put my political opinions into practice, now that the war had begun. I had no desire to fight for theM
Habsburg cause, but I was prepared to die at any time for my own kinsfolk and the Reich to which they really belonged. On August 3rd, 1914, I presented an urgent petition to His Majesty, King Ludwig III, requesting to be allowed to serve in a Bavarian regiment. In those days the Chancellery had its hands full and, therefore, I was all the more pleased when a day later I received the answer to my request. I opened the document with trembling hands, and no words of mine could now describe the satisfaction I felt on M
reading that I was instructed to report to a Bavarian regiment. Within a few days I was wearing that uniform which I was not to doff again for nearly six years. For me, as for every German, the most memorable period of my life now began. Face to face with that mighty struggle, all the past fell away into oblivion. With a wistful pride I look back on those days, especially because we are now approaching the tenth anniversary of that memorable happening.</p><blockquote><p>183</p></blockquote><p>I recall those early wM
eeks of war when a kind fortune permitted me to take my place in that heroic struggle among the nations. As the scene unfolds itself before my mind, it seems like yesterday. I see myself among my young comrades on our first parade drill, and so on, until at last the day came on which we were to leave for the front. In common with the others, I had one worry during those days. This was a fear that we might arrive too late for the fighting at the front. Time and again, that thought disturbed me and every, announcemenM
t of a victorious engagement left a fear that we might be too late, which increased as the news of further victories arrived. At long last the day came when we left Munich on active service. For the first time in my life, I saw the Rhine, as we journeyed westwards to stand guard before that historic German river against its traditional and grasping enemy. As the first soft rays of the morning sun broke through the light mist and disclosed to us the Niederwald Statue, with one accord the whole troop-train broke intoM
the strains of<i>Die Wacht am Rhein</i>. I then felt as if my heart would burst. Then followed a damp, cold night in Flanders. We marched in silence throughout the night and as the morning sun came through the mist an iron greeting suddenly burst above our heads. Shrapnel exploded in our midst and spluttered on the damp ground, but before the smoke of the explosion disappeared, a wild
was shouted from two hundred throats in response to this, first greeting of Death. Then began the whistling of bulletsM
and the booming of cannon, the whining and droning of shells; with eyes straining feverishly, we pressed forward; quicker and quicker, until we finally came to close-quarter fighting, beyond the beet-fields and the meadows. Soon the strains of a song reached us from afar. Nearer and nearer, from company to company, it came, and while Death began to make havoc in our ranks, we passed the song on to those beside us:<i>Deutschland, Deutschland
ber Alles in der Welt!</i>After four days in the trenches wM
e came back. Even our step was no longer what it had been. Boys of seventeen now looked like grown-up men. The rank and file of the List Regiment had not been properly trained in the art of warfare, but they knew how to die like old soldiers.</p><blockquote><p>184</p></blockquote><p>That was the beginning, and thus we carried on from year to year. A feeling of horror replaced the romantic fighting spirit. Enthusiasm cooled down gradually and exuberant spirits were quelled by the fear of ever-present Death. A time cM
ame when there arose within each one of us a conflict between the urge to self-preservation and the call of duty, and I had to go through that conflict too. As Death sought its prey everywhere and unrelentingly, a nameless something rebelled within the weak body and tried to introduce itself under the name of common sense; but in reality it was fear, which had taken on this cloak in order to impose itself on the individual. Then there began an inner persuading and warning difficult to withstand, and it was often onM
ly the last flicker of conscience which carried the day. But the more the voice which advised prudence increased its efforts and the clearer and persuasive its appeal, the stronger did resistance become, until finally the internal strife was over and the call of duty was triumphant. As early as the winter of 1915
16, I had gone through that inner struggle. The will had asserted its incontestable mastery. Whereas in the early days I went into the fight with a cheer and a laugh, I was now habitually calm and resoluM
te, and that frame of mind endured. Fate might now put me to the final test without my nerves or reason giving way. The young, volunteer had become an old soldier. This same transformation took place throughout the whole Army. Constant fighting had aged and toughened and hardened it, and what could not withstand it, had perforce to give way. Only now was it possible to judge that Army. After two and three years of continuous fighting, after having been thrown into one battle after another, standing up stoutly againM
st superior numbers and superior armament, suffering hunger and privation, the time had come when one could assess the value of that singular fighting force. For a thousand years to come nobody will dare to speak of heroism without recalling the German Army of the World War, and then from the dim past will emerge the immortal vision of those solid ranks of steel helmets that never flinched and never faltered, and as long as Germans live they will be proud to remember that these men were sons of their forefathers. IM
was then a soldier and did not wish to meddle in politics, the more so because the time was inopportune.</p><blockquote><p>185</p></blockquote><p>I still believe that the most humble stableboy of those days served his country better than the best of, let us say, the
My hatred for those chatterers was never greater than in those days when all decent men who had anything to say said it point-blank in the enemy
s face, or, failing this, kept their mouths shut and did their duty elsewhere. I M
despised those political fellows and if I had had my way I would have formed them into a Labour Battalion and given them the opportunity of babbling amongst themselves to their hearts
content, without offence or harm to decent people. In those days I cared nothing for politics, but I could not help forming an opinion on certain phenomena which affected not only the whole nation, but also us soldiers in particular. There were two things which caused me the greatest anxiety at that time, and which I had come to reM
gard as detrimental to our interests. Shortly after our first series of victories a certain section of the press already began to throw cold water, drip by drip, on the enthusiasm of the public. At first this was not, obvious to many people. It was done under the mask of good intentions and a spirit of anxious care. The public was told that big celebrations of victories were somewhat out of place and were not worthy of the dignity of a great nation. The fortitude and valour of German soldiers were accepted facts whM
ich did not necessarily call for outbursts of rejoicing. Furthermore, it was asked, what would foreign opinion have to say about these manifestations? Would not foreign opinion react more favourably to a quiet and sober form of celebration rather than to all this wild jubilation? Surely the time had come
so the press declared
for us Germans to remember that this war was not of our seeking and that hence there need be no feeling of shame in declaring our willingness to do our share towards effecting an understanM
ding among the nations. For this reason it would not be wise to sully the radiant deeds of our Army with unbecoming jubilation, for the rest of the world would not understand this. Furthermore, nothing is more appreciated than the modesty with which a true hero quietly and unassumingly carries on and forgets.</p><blockquote><p>186</p></blockquote><p>Such was the gist of their warning. Instead of catching these fellows by their long ears, dragging them to some ditch and looping a cord around their necks, so that theM
victorious enthusiasm of the nation should no longer offend their aesthetic sensibilities, a general press campaign was now allowed to go on against what was called
forms of victorious celebration. No one seemed to have the faintest idea that when public enthusiasm is once damped, nothing can kindle it again when the necessity arises. This enthusiasm is an intoxication and must be kept up in that form. Without the support of this enthusiastic spirit, how would it be possible M
to endure in a struggle which, according to human standards, made overwhelming demands, on the spiritual stamina of the nation? I was only too well acquainted with the psychology of the broad masses, not to know, that in such cases a magnanimous
cannot fan the fire which is needed to keep the iron hot.. In my eyes it was even a mistake not to have tried to raise the pitch of public enthusiasm still higher. Therefore, I could not at all understand why the contrary policy was adopted, that is to saM
y, the policy of damping the public spirit. Another thing which irritated me was the manner in which Marxism was regarded and accepted. I thought that all this proved how little they knew about the Marxist plague. It was believed in all seriousness that the abolition of party distinctions during the War had made Marxism a mild and-moderate thing. Here there was no question of party, but of a doctrine which was being expounded for the express purpose of leading humanity to its destruction. The purpose of this doctriM
ne was not understood, because nothing was said about that side of the question in our Jew-ridden universities, and because our supercilious bureaucratic officials did not think it worth while to read upon a subject which had not been prescribed in their university course. This mighty revolutionary trend was simply ignored by those
who did not deign to give it their attention. That is why State enterprise nearly always lags behind private enterprise. Of these gentry one can truly say that their M
maxim is: What we don
t bother us.</p><blockquote><p>187</p></blockquote><p>In the August of 1914 every German worker was looked upon as a Marxist. That was a gross error. When that fateful day dawned, the German worker shook off the poisonous clutches of that plague; otherwise he would not have been so willing and ready to fight. Yet people were stupid enough to imagine that Marxism had now become
another apt illustration of the fact that those in authority had never taken the troubleM
to study the real tenor of the Marxist teaching. If they had done so, such foolish errors would not have been committed. Marxism, whose final objective was, is, and will continue to be, the destruction of all non-Jewish national States, had to witness in those days of July 1914 how the German working-classes, which it had been ensnaring, were aroused by the national spirit and rapidly ranged themselves on the side of the Fatherland. Within a few days the deceptive smoke-screen of that infamous national betrayal haM
d vanished into thin air and the Jewish bosses suddenly found themselves alone and deserted. It was as if not a vestige had been left of that folly and madness with which the masses of the German people had been inoculated for sixty years. That was indeed an evil day for the betrayers of German Labour. The moment, however, that the leaders realised the danger which threatened them they pulled the magic cap of deceit over their ears and, without being identified, pretended to participate in the national reawakening.M
The time seemed to have arrived for proceeding against the whole Jewish gang of public pests. Then it was that action should have been taken regardless of any consequent whining or protestation. At one stroke, in the August of 1914, all the empty nonsense about international solidarity was knocked out of the heads of the German working classes. A few weeks later, instead of this stupid talk sounding in their ears, they heard the noise of American-manufactured shrapnel bursting above the heads of the marching columM
ns, as a symbol of international comradeship. Now that the German worker had rediscovered the road back to his nation, it ought to have been the duty of any government, which had the welfare of the people at heart, to take this opportunity of mercilessly rooting out everything that was opposed to the national spirit.</p><blockquote><p>188</p></blockquote><p>While the flower of the nation
s manhood was dying at the front, those at home could, at least, have exterminated this vermin. But, instead of doing so, His MM
ajesty the Kaiser held out his hand to these hoary criminals, thus assuring them of his protection and allowing them to regain their mental composure. Thus the viper could begin its work again. This time, certainly, more carefully than before, but all the more destructively. While honest people dreamt of reconciliation, these perjured criminals were making preparations for a revolution. Naturally, I was distressed at the half-measures which were adopted at that time, but I never thought it possible that the final cM
onsequences could have been so disastrous. What should have been done then? The ringleaders should have been thrown into gaol and tried, thus ridding the nation of them. Uncompromising military measures should have been adopted to root out the evil. Parties should have been abolished and the Reichstag brought to its senses at the point of the bayonet, if necessary. It would have been still better if the Reichstag had been dissolved immediately. If the Republic to-day dissolves parties when it wants to, there was inM
those days even more justification for applying such a measure, seeing; that the very existence of the nation was at stake. Of course this suggestion would give rise to the question, Is it possible to eradicate ideas by force of arms? Can a<i>Weltanschauung</i>be attacked by means of physical force? At that time, I turned these questions over and over in my mind. By studying analogous cases, exemplified in history, particularly those which had arisen from religious circumstances, I came to the following fundamentaM
l conclusion. Ideals and ideologies, as well as movements grounded on a definite spiritual foundation, whether true or false, can never be broken by the use of force after a certain stage, except on one condition, namely, that this use of force is wielded in the service of a new ideal or<i>Weltanschauung</i>which burns with a new flame.</p><blockquote><p>189</p></blockquote><p>The application of force alone, without moral support based on a spiritual concept, can never bring about the destruction of an ideal or arrM
est the propagation of it, unless one is ready and able ruthlessly to exterminate to a man the last upholders of that ideal, and also to wipe out any tradition which it may tend to leave behind. Now, in the majority of cases, the result of such a course has been to exclude such a State, either temporarily or forever, from the circle of States that are of political significance, but experience has also shown that such a sanguinary method of extirpation affects the better section of the population under the persecutiM
ng power. As a matter of fact, every persecution, which has no spiritual motives to support it, is morally unjust and raises opposition among the best elements of the population, so much so, that these are driven more and more to champion the ideas that are unjustly persecuted. With many individuals this arises from the sheer spirit of opposition to every attempt at suppressing spiritual things by brute force. In this way, the number of convinced adherents of the persecuted doctrine increases as the persecution proM
gresses. Hence, the total destruction of a new doctrine can be accomplished only by a vast plan of extermination; but this, in the final analysis, means the loss of some of the best blood in a nation or State, and that blood is subsequently avenged, because such an internal and total clean-up brings about the collapse of the nation
s strength. Such a procedure is always condemned to futility from the very start, if the attacked doctrine should happen to have spread beyond a small circle. That is why, in this caseM
, as with all other growths, the doctrine can be exterminated only in its earliest stages. As time goes on its powers of resistance increase, until at the approach of age it gives way to younger elements, but under another form and from other motives. The fact remains that nearly all attempts to exterminate a doctrine, without having some spiritual basis of attack against it, and also to wipe out all the organisations it has created, have led in many cases to the very opposite being achieved, and that for the folloM
wing reasons. When sheer force is used to combat the spread of a doctrine, then that force must be employed systematically and persistently.</p><blockquote><p>190</p></blockquote><p>This means that the chances of success in the suppression of a doctrine lie only in the persistent and uniform application of the methods chosen. The moment hesitation is shown, and periods of tolerance alternate with the application of force, the doctrine against which these measures are directed will not only recover strength, but eveM
ry successive persecution will bring to its support new adherents who have been shocked by the oppressive methods employed. The old adherents will become more embittered and their allegiance will thereby be strengthened. Therefore, when force is employed, success is dependent on the consistent manner in which it is used. This persistence, however, is nothing less than the product of definite spiritual convictions. Every form of force that is not supported by a, spiritual backing will always tie indecisive and uncerM
tain. Such a force lacks the stability that can be found only in a<i>Weltanschauung</i>which has devoted champions. Such a force is the expression of the energy and ruthless determination of the individual temporarily in power, and, therefore, it is dependent on the change of persons in whose hands it is employed and on their characters and capacities. But there is something else to be said. Every<i>Weltanschauung</i>, whether religious or political (and it is sometimes difficult to say where the one ends and the oM
ther begins) fights not so much for the negative destruction of the opposing ideology, as for the positive realisation of its own ideology. Thus its struggle consists in attack rather than in defence. It has the advantage of knowing where its objective lies, as this objective represents the realisation of its own ideals. Inversely, it is difficult to say, when the negative aim for the destruction of a hostile doctrine is reached and secured. For this reason alone a<i>Weltanschauung</i>which is of an aggressive charM
acter is more definite in plan and more powerful and decisive in action than a<i>Weltanschauung</i>which takes up a merely defensive attitude. If force be used to combat a spiritual power, that force remains a defensive measure only so long as the wielders of it are not the champions and apostles of a new spiritual doctrine. Summing up, we arrive at the conclusion that every attempt to combat a<i>Weltanschauung</i>by means of force will turn out futile in the end, if the struggle fails to take the form of an offensM
ive for the establishment of an entirely new spiritual order of things.</p><blockquote><p>191</p></blockquote><p>It is only in the struggle between two<i>Weltanschauungen</i>that physical force, consistently and ruthlessly applied, will eventually turn the scales in its own favour. It was in this that the fight against Marxism had hitherto failed. This was also the reason why Bismarck
s socialist legislation failed, and was bound to fail in the long run, despite everything. It lacked the basis of a new<i>WeltanscM
hauung</i>for whose development and extension the struggle might have been taken up. To say that the serving up of drivel about a so-called
was an adequate foundation for the spiritual driving force in a life-and-death struggle, is only what one would expect to hear from the wiseacres in high official positions. It was because there were no adequate spiritual motives behind this offensive that Bismarck was compelled to hand over the administration of his socialist legislM
ative measures to the judgment and approval of those circles which were themselves the product of the Marxist teaching. Thus, when the Iron Chancellor surrendered the fate of his struggle against Marxism to the goodwill of the bourgeois Democracy, he was leaving the goat to take care of the garden. But this was only the logical result of failure to find a fundamentally new<i>Weltanschauung</i>which was diametrically opposed to Marxism and inspired by an ardent determination to sweep all before it. Thus the result oM
f the Bismarckian campaign was a bitter disappointment. Were conditions different during the World War, or at the beginning of it? Unfortunately, they were not. The more I then pondered over the necessity for a change in the attitude of the executive government towards Social Democracy, as the incorporation of contemporary Marxism, the more I realised the want of a practical substitute for this doctrine. Supposing Social Democracy were overthrown, what had one to offer the masses in its stead? Not a single movementM
existed which promised any success in attracting vast numbers of workers, who would be now more or less without leaders, and in holding these workers in its spell.</p><blockquote><p>192</p></blockquote><p>It is nonsensical to imagine that the international fanatic who has just severed his connection with a class party would forthwith join a bourgeois party or, in other words, another class organisation, for, however unsatisfactory these various organisations may appear to be, it cannot be denied that bourgeois polM
iticians look on the distinction between classes as a very important factor in social life, provided, it does not turn out politically disadvantageous to them. If they deny this fact, they show themselves not only impudent but also mendacious. Generally speaking, one should guard against considering the broad masses more stupid than they really are. In political matters it frequently happens that feeling is a better judge than intellect. The opinion that the stupid international attitude of the masses provides prooM
f of the unreliability of this feeling, can be immediately and definitely refuted by the simple fact that pacifist Democracy is no less fatuous, though it draws its supporters almost exclusively from bourgeois circles. As long as millions of citizens daily swallow what the Social Democratic press tells them, it will becomes these gentlemen to joke at the expense of the
for, in the long run, they all swallow the same hash, even though it be dished up with different spices. In both cases the cook is oM
the Jew. One should be careful about contradicting established facts. It is an undeniable fact that the class question has nothing to do with questions concerning ideals, though that dope is administered at election time. Class arrogance among a large section of our people, as well as a prevailing tendency to look down on the manual labourer, are obvious facts and not the fancies of some day-dreamer. Nevertheless, it only illustrates the mentality of our so-called intellectual circles that they haM
ve not yet grasped the fact that circumstances, which are incapable of preventing the growth of such a plague as Marxism, are certainly not capable of restoring what has been lost. The
parties (as they choose to call themselves) will never again be able to win over and hold the proletarian masses in their train. That is because two worlds are opposed to one another here, in part, naturally, and in part, artificially, divided.</p><blockquote><p>193</p></blockquote><p>Only one relationship is possibleM
between these two camps, namely, open enmity. But in such a fight the younger will come off victorious, and that is Marxism. In 1914 a fight against Social Democracy was indeed quite conceivable, but the lack of any practical substitute made it doubtful how long the fight could be kept up. In this respect there was a gaping void. Long before the war I was of the same opinion, and that was the reason why I could not decide to join any of the parties then existing. During the World War my conviction was still furtheM
r confirmed by the manifest impossibility of fighting Social Democracy in anything like a thorough way, because for that purpose there should have been a movement that was something more than a mere
party, and there was none such. I frequently discussed that want with my intimate comrades, and it was then, that I first conceived the idea of taking up political work later on. As I have often assured my friends, it was just this that induced me, after the war to become active as a public speaker, L
in addition to my professional work, and I am sure that this decision was arrived at after much earnest thought.</p><blockquote><p>194</p></blockquote><blockquote><p>195</p></blockquote>h!

<blockquote><p>196</p></blockquote><h1 id="chapter-vi-war-propaganda">CHAPTER VI: WAR PROPAGANDA</h1><p>In watching the course of political events I was always struck by the active part which propaganda played in them. I saw that it was an instrument which the Marxist Socialists knew how to handle in a masterly, way and to put to good practical use. Thus I soon came to realise that the right use of propaganda was an art in itself, and that this art was practically unknown to our bourgeois parties. The Christian SocM
ialist Party alone, especially in Lueger
s time, showed a certain efficiency in the employment of this instrument and owed much of their success to it. It was during the War, however, that we had the best chance of estimating the tremendous results which could be obtained by a propaganda system properly carried out. Here again, unfortunately, everything was left to the other side, the work done on our side being worse than insignificant. It was the total failure of the whole German system of information
re which was perfectly obvious to every soldier
that urged me to consider the problem of propaganda in a comprehensive way. I had ample opportunity to learn a practical lesson in this matter, for unfortunately it was only too well taught us by the enemy. The lack on our side was exploited by the enemy in such an efficient manner that one could say it showed itself as a real work of genius. In that propaganda carried on by the enemy I found admirable sources of instruction. The lesson to be learned from this had, M
unfortunately, no attraction for the geniuses on our own side. They were simply above all such things, too clever to accept any teaching and, in any case, they did not honestly wish to learn anything. Had we any propaganda at all? Alas, I can reply only in the negative. All that was undertaken in this direction, was so utterly inadequate and misconceived from the very beginning, that not only did it prove useless, but at times harmful. In substance, it was insufficient. Psychologically, it was all wrong.</p><blockqM
uote><p>197</p></blockquote><p>Anybody who had carefully investigated the German propaganda must have formed that judgment of it. Our authorities did not seem to be clear even about the primary question as to whether propaganda is a means or an end. Propaganda is a means and must, therefore, be judged in relation to the end it is intended to serve. It must be organised in such a way as to be capable of attaining its objective, and, as it is quite clear that the importance of the objective may vary from the standpoiM
nt of general necessity, the essential internal character of the propaganda must vary accordingly. The cause for which we fought during the War was the noblest and highest that man could strive for. We were fighting for the freedom and independence of our country, for the security of our future welfare and the honour of the nation. Despite all views to the contrary, this honour does actually exist, or rather it ought to exist, for a nation without honour will sooner or later lose its freedom and independence. This M
is in accordance with the ruling of a higher justice, for a generation of poltroons is not entitled to freedom. He who would be a cowardly slave cannot have honour; for such honour would soon become an object of general scorn. Germany was waging war for her very existence. The purpose of her war propaganda should have been to strengthen the fighting spirit in that struggle and help her to victory. But when nations are fighting for their existence on this earth, when the question of
s to be answered, then all humane and aesthetic considerations must be set aside, for these ideals do not exist of themselves somewhere in the air, they are the product of man
s creative imagination and will disappear when he disappears from the face of the earth. Nature knows nothing of them. Moreover, they are characteristic of only a small number of nations, or rather of races, and their value depends on the measure in which they spring from the racial feeling of the latter. Humane and aesthetic ideals will diM
sappear from the inhabited earth when those races disappear which have been their creators and champions. All such ideals are only of secondary importance when a nation is struggling for its existence. They must be prevented from entering into the struggle the moment they threaten to weaken the stamina of the nation that is waging war.</p><blockquote><p>198</p></blockquote><p>That is always the only visible effect whereby their place in the struggle is to be judged. In regard to the part played by humane feeling, MM
oltke said that in time of war the essential thing is to get a decision as quickly as possible and that the most ruthless methods of fighting are, at the same time, the most humane. When people attempt to answer this reasoning by high-faluting talk about aesthetics, etc., only one answer can be given, namely, that the vital questions involved in the struggle of a nation for its existence must not be subordinated to any aesthetic considerations. The yoke of slavery is, and always will remain, the most unaesthetic exM
perience that mankind can endure. Do the Schwabing decadents look upon Germany
? Of course, one does not discuss such a question with the Jews, because they are the modern inventors of this cultural perfume. Their very existence is an incarnate denial of the beauty of God
s image in His creation. Since these ideas of what is beautiful and humane have no place in warfare, they are not to be used as standards of war propaganda. During the war, propaganda was a means to an end, and tM
his end was the German nation
s struggle for existence. Propaganda, therefore, should have been regarded from the standpoint of its utility for that purpose. The cruellest weapons were then the most humane, provided they helped towards a speedier decision; and only those methods were good and beautiful which helped towards securing the dignity and freedom of the nation. Such was the only possible attitude to adopt towards war propaganda in that life-and-death struggle. If those in what are called positions of autM
hority had realised this, there would have been no uncertainty about the form and employment of war propaganda as a weapon, for it is nothing but a weapon, and indeed a most terrifying weapon in the hands of those who know how to use it. The second question of decisive importance is this: To whom should propaganda be made to appeal? To the educated intellectual classes? Or to the uneducated masses? Propaganda must always address itself to the broad masses of the people.</p><blockquote><p>199</p></blockquote><p>PropM
aganda is not meant for the intellectual classes, or what we call the intellectual classes to-day, which demand scientific enlightenment. Propaganda has as little to do with science as an advertisement poster has to do with art, as far as concerns the form in which it presents its message. The art of the advertisement poster consists in the ability of the designer to attract the attention of the crowd through the form and colours he chooses. The advertisement poster announcing an exhibition of art has no other aim M
than to convince the public of the importance of the exhibition. The better it does that, the better the art of the poster as such. Although its purpose is to impress upon the public the importance of the exhibition, the poster can never take the place of the artistic objects displayed in the exhibition hall. They are something entirely different. Therefore, those who wish to study art must study something that is quite different from the poster; indeed for that purpose they must do more than merely wander through M
the exhibition galleries. The student of art must carefully and thoroughly study each exhibition in order slowly to form a judicious opinion on it. The situation is the same in regard to what we understand by the word
The purpose of propaganda is not the scientific instruction of the individual, but rather to attract public attention to certain facts, events, urgent needs, and so on, the importance of which can be brought home to the masses only by this means. Here the art of propaganda consists iM
n putting a matter so clearly and forcibly before the minds of the people as to create a general conviction regarding the reality of a certain fact, the necessity of certain things and the imperativeness of something that is essential. As this art is not an end in itself and because its purpose must be exactly that of the advertisement poster, to attract the attention of the masses and not by any means to dispense individual instructions to those who already have an educated opinion on things, or who wish to form sM
uch an opinion on grounds of objective study (because that is not the purpose of propaganda), it must appeal to the feelings of the public rather than to their reasoning powers. All propaganda must be presented in a popular form and must fix its intellectual level so as not to be above the heads of the least intellectual of those at whom it is directed.</p><blockquote><p>200</p></blockquote><p>Thus, the larger the public to which its appeal is directed, the lower its purely intellectual level will have to be. When M
it is a question of bringing a whole nation within the circle of its influence, as happens in the case of war propaganda, then too much attention cannot be paid to the necessity of avoiding a high level, which presupposes a relatively high degree of intelligence among the public. The more modest the scientific level of this propaganda and the more it is addressed exclusively to public sentiment, the more decisive will be its success, which is the best test of the value of a piece of propaganda, and not the approbatM
ion of a small group of intellectuals or artistic people. The art of propaganda consists precisely in being able to awaken the imagination of the public through an appeal to its feelings, in finding the appropriate psychological form that will arrest the attention and appeal to the hearts of the broad masses. That this is not understood by those among us whose wits are supposed to have been sharpened to the highest pitch, is only another proof of their vanity or mental inertia. Once we have understood how necessaryM
it is to concentrate the persuasive forces of propaganda on the broad masses of the people, we can subscribe to the theory that it is a mistake to try to lend propaganda the manysidedness of scientific instruction. The receptive powers of the masses are very restricted, and their power of understanding is slight. On the other hand, they quickly forget. Such being the case, all effective propaganda must be confined to a few bare essentials, and these must be expressed as far as possible in stereotyped formulas. TheM
se slogans should be persistently repeated until the very last individual has come to grasp the idea that has been put forward. If this principle be forgotten, and if an attempt be made to be abstract and general, the propaganda will turn out ineffective, for the public will not be able to digest or retain what is offered to them in this way. Therefore, the greater the scope of the message that has to be presented, the more necessary is it for propaganda to choose that plan of action which is psychologically the moM
st efficient.</p><blockquote><p>201</p></blockquote><p>It was, for example, a fundamental mistake to ridicule the enemy, as the Austrian and German comic papers made a point of doing in their propaganda. The very principle here is a mistaken one, for, when they came face to face with the enemy, our soldiers gained quite a different impression. Therefore, the mistake had disastrous results. Once the German soldier realised what a tough enemy he had to fight, he felt that he had been deceived by the manufacturer of tM
he information which had been given him. Therefore, instead of strengthening and stimulating his fighting spirit, this information had quite the contrary effect and, finally, he lost heart. On the other hand, British and American war propaganda was psychologically efficient. By picturing the Germans to their own people as barbarians and Huns, they were preparing their soldiers for the horrors of war and safeguarding them against delusion. The most terrific weapons which those soldiers encountered in the field merelM
y confirmed the information they had already received, and their belief in the truth of the assertions made by their respective governments was accordingly reinforced. Thus their rage and hatred against the infamous foe was increased. The terrible havoc caused by the German weapons of war was only another illustration of the Hunnish brutality of those barbarians, whereas, on the side of the Entente, no time was left for the soldiers to meditate on the similar havoc of which their own weapons were capable. Thus the M
British soldier was never allowed to feel that the information which he received at home was untrue. Unfortunately, the opposite was the case with the Germans, who finally wound up by rejecting everything from home as pure swindle and humbug. This was possible because at home they thought that the work of propaganda could be entrusted to the first ass that came along, or even to someone who was fairly intelligent in other respects, and they had no conception of the fact that propaganda demands the most skilled braiM
ns that can be found. Thus German war propaganda afforded us an incomparable example of how the work of
should not be done and how such an example was the result of an entire failure to take into account any psychological considerations whatsoever.</p><blockquote><p>202</p></blockquote><p>From the enemy, however, a fund of valuable knowledge could be gained by those, who kept their eyes open, whose powers of preception had not yet become dimmed, and who during four-and-a-half years had to experiM
ence the perpetual flood of enemy propaganda. The worst thing of all was that our people did not understand the very first condition which has to be fulfilled in every kind of propaganda, namely, a systematically one sided attitude towards every problem that has to be dealt with. In this respect, so many errors were committed, even from the very beginning of the war, that it was justifiable to doubt whether so much folly could be attributed solely to the stupidity of people in higher quarters. What, for example, shM
ould we say of a poster which purported to advertise some new brand of soap by insisting on the excellent qualities of the competitive brands? We should naturally shake our heads, and the same is true of political advertisement. The aim of propaganda is not to try to pass judgment on conflicting rights, giving each its due, but exclusively to emphasise the right which we
re asserting. Propaganda must not investigate the truth objectively and, in so far as it is favourable to the other side, present it according tM
o the theoretical rules of justice, but it must present only that aspect of the truth which is favourable to its own side. It was a fundamental mistake to discuss the question of who was responsible for the outbreak of the war and to declare that the sole responsibility could not be attributed to Germany. The sole responsibility should have been laid on the shoulders of the enemy, even had this not been strictly true, as indeed it was. What was the consequence of these half-measures? The broad masses of the people M
are not made up of diplomats or professors of public jurisprudence nor simply of persons who are able to form reasoned judgment in given cases, but they are a vacillating crowd of human children who are constantly wavering between one idea and another. As soon as our own propaganda made the slightest suggestion that the enemy had a certain amount of justice on his side, then we laid down the basis on which the justice of our own cause could be questioned.</p><blockquote><p>203</p></blockquote><p>The masses are not M
in a position to discern where the enemy
s fault ends and where our own begins. In such a case, they become hesitant and distrustful, especially when the enemy does not make the same mistake, but heaps all the blame on his adversary. Could there be any clearer proof of this than the fact that finally our own people believed what was said by the enemy
s propaganda, which was uniform and consistent in its assertions, rather than in our own propaganda? This disbelief was, of course, increased by the mania for objeM
ctivity which afflicts our people. Everybody began to be careful about doing an injustice to the enemy, even at the cost of seriously injuring, and even ruining, his own people and State. Naturally, the masses were not conscious of the fact that those in authority had failed to study the subject from this angle. The great majority of a nation is so feminine in its character and outlook that its thought and conduct are ruled by sentiment rather than by sober reasoning. This sentiment, however, is not complex, but siM
mple and consistent. It is not highly differentiated, but has only the negative and positive notions of love and hatred, right and wrong, truth and falsehood. Its notions are never partly this and partly that. Those responsible for English propaganda, especially understood this in a marvellous degree and put what they understood into practice. They allowed no half-measures, which might have given rise to doubt. Proof of how brilliantly they understood that the feeling of the masses is something primitive was shown M
in their policy of publishing tales of horror and outrages which fitted in with the real horrors of the time, thereby cleverly and ruthlessly preparing the ground for moral solidarity at the front, even in times of great defeats. Further, the way in which they pilloried the German enemy as solely responsible for the war
which was a brutal and absolute falsehood
and the way in which they proclaimed his guilt was excellently calculated to reach the masses, realising that these are always extremist in their feelinM
g.</p><blockquote><p>204</p></blockquote><p>Thus it was that this atrocious lie was positively believed. The effectiveness of this kind of propaganda is well illustrated by the fact that after four-and-a-half years, the enemy was not only still carrying on his propagandist work, but it was already undermining the stamina of our people at home. That our propaganda did not achieve similar results is not to be wondered at, because it contained the germs of inefficiency by reason of its ambiguity, and because of the veM
ry nature of its contents one could not expect it to make the necessary impression on the masses. Only our feckless
could have imagined that the enthusiasm which is necessary to kindle that spirit which leads men to die for their country could be nourished on pacifist
of this kind, and so this product of ours was not only worthless but detrimental. No matter what the amount of talent employed in the organisation of propaganda, it will have no result if due account is not taken of one funM
damental principle. Propaganda must be limited to a few simple themes and these must be presented again and again. Here, as in innumerable other cases, perseverance is the first and most important condition of success. Particularly in the field of propaganda, placid aesthetes and blas
intellectuals should never be allowed to take the lead. The former would readily transform the impressive character of real propaganda into something suitable only for literary tea-parties. As to the second class of persons, one musM
t always beware of this pest; for, in consequence of their insensibility to normal impressions, they are constantly seeking fresh thrills. Such people grow sick and tired of everything. They always long for change and will always be incapable of putting themselves in the position of picturing the wants of their less callous fellow-creatures in their immediate neighbourhood, let alone trying to understand them. The blas
intellectuals are always the first to criticise propaganda, or rather its message, because thisM
appears to them to be out-moded and trivial. They are always looking for something new, always yearning for change, and thus they become the mortal enemies of every effort that is made to influence the masses in an effective way.</p><blockquote><p>205</p></blockquote><p>The moment the organisation and message of a propaganda movement begins to be orientated according to their tastes, it becomes incoherent and scattered. It is not the purpose of propaganda to provide a series of thrills with a view to pleasing thesM
gentry. Its chief function is to convince the masses, whose slowness of understanding needs to be given time in order that they may absorb information; and only constant repetition will finally succeed in imprinting an idea on the memory of the crowd. Any variation must not alter the main theme of the propaganda, but must always emphasise the same point. The slogan must, of course, be illustrated in many ways and from several angles, but in the end the stress must always be laid on the, slogan itself. In tM
his way alone can propaganda be consistent and dynamic in its effects. Only by following these general lines and sticking to them steadfastly, with uniform and concise emphasis, can final success be reached. Then we shall be rewarded by the surprising and almost incredible results that such a persistent policy secures. The success of any advertisement, whether of a business or a political nature, depends on the consistency and perseverance with which it is employed. In this respect also, the propaganda organised byM
our enemies set us an excellent example. It confined itself to a few themes, which were meant exclusively for mass consumption, and it repeated these themes with untiring perseverance. Once these fundamental themes and the manner of placing them before the world were recognised as effective, they adhered to them without the slightest alteration for the whole duration of, the war. At first, all of it appeared to be idiotic in its impudent assertiveness. Later on, it was looked upon as disturbing, but finally it wasM
believed. Four-and-a-half years later, a revolution, the slogans of which were borrowed from enemy war-time propaganda, broke out in Germany. In England they came to understand something else, namely, that the possibility of success in the use of this spiritual weapon consists in the mass employment of it, and that, when employed in this way, it brings full returns for the large expense incurred.</p><blockquote><p>206</p></blockquote><p>In England propaganda was regarded as a weapon of the first order, whereas witM
h us it represented the last hope of a livelihood for our unemployed politicians and a snug job for shirkers of the modest heroic type. Taken all in all, its results were negative.</p><blockquote><p>207</p></blockquote><blockquote><p>208</p></blockquote><blockquote><p>209</p></blockquote><h1 id="chapter-vii-the-revolution-in-1918">CHAPTER VII: THE REVOLUTION IN 1918</h1><p>The enemy started his propaganda among our soldiers. From 1916 onwards it steadily became more intensive, and at the beginning of 1918 it had swM
ollen into a storm-flood. One could now judge the effects of this proselytizing movement step by step. Gradually, our soldiers began to think just in the way the enemy wished them to think. On the German side there was no counter-propaganda. At that time, they army authorities, under our able and resolute Commander were willing and ready to take up the fight in the propaganda domain also, but unfortunately, they did not have the necessary means of carrying that intention into effect. Moreover, the army authorities M
would have made a psychological mistake had they undertaken this task of mental training. To be effective, it had to come from the home front, for only thus could it be successful among men who for nearly four years now had been performing immortal deeds of heroism and undergoing all sorts of privations for the sake of that home. But what were the people at home doing? Was their failure to act due merely to lack of intelligence or bad faith? In the summer of 1918, after the evacuation of the southern bank of the MaM
rne, the German press adopted a policy which was so woefully inopportune, and even criminally stupid, that I daily and with growing fury used to ask myself the question,
Is it really true that we have nobody who dares to put an end to this process of spiritual sabotage which is being carried on among our heroic troops?
What happened in France during those days of 1914, when our armies invaded that country and were marching in triumph from one victory to another? What happened in Italy when the Italian armies M
collapsed on the Isonzo front? What happened in France again during the spring of 1918, when German divisions took the main French positions by storm and heavy long-distance artillery bombarded Paris?</p><blockquote><p>210</p></blockquote><p>How enemy propaganda whipped up the flagging courage of those troops who were retreating and fanned the fires of national enthusiasm among them! How their propaganda and their marvellous aptitude in the exercise of mass-influence reawakened the fighting spirit in that broken frM
ont and hammered into the heads of the soldiers a firm belief in final victory! Meanwhile, what were our people doing in this sphere? Nothing, or even worse than nothing. Again and again. I used to become enraged and indignant as I read the latest papers and realised the nature of the mass-murder they were committing through their influence on the minds of the people and the soldiers. More than once, I was tormented by the thought that, if Providence had put the conduct of German propaganda into my hands, instead oM
f into the hands of those incompetent and even criminal ignoramuses and weaklings, the outcome of the struggle might have been different. During those months, I felt, for the first time that Fate was dealing adversely with me in keeping me on the fighting front and in a position where any chance bullet from some Negro
s rifle might finish me, whereas I could have done the Fatherland a real service in another sphere, for I was then presumptuous enough to believe that I would have been successful in managing the prM
opaganda business. But I was unknown, one among eight millions. Hence, it was better for me to keep my mouth shut and do my duty as well as I could, in the position to which I had been assigned. In the summer of 1915, the first enemy leaflets were dropped on our trenches. They all told more or less the same story, with some variations in the form of it. The story was that:</p><ul><li>Distress was steadily on the increase in Germany; that the war would last indefinitely;</li><li>That the prospect of victory for us wM
as becoming fainter day by day; that the people at home were yearning for peace, but that
and the Kaiser would not permit it;</li><li>That the world was not waging war against the German people but only against the man who was exclusively responsible, the Kaiser;</li><li>That until this enemy of world-peace was removed there could be no end to the conflict;</li><li>But that, when the war was over, the Liberal and democratic nations would receive the Germans as collaborators in the League for World M
Peace.</li></ul><blockquote><p>211</p></blockquote><p>This would be done the moment
had been finally destroyed. To illustrate and substantiate all these statements, the leaflets very often contained
the contents of which appeared to confirm the enemy
s propaganda message. Generally speaking, we only laughed at all these efforts. The leaflets were read, sent to base headquarters, then forgotten until a favourable wind once again blew a fresh consignment into the tM
renches. These were mostly dropped from aeroplanes which were used specially for that purpose. One feature of this propaganda was very striking, namely, that in sections where Bavarian troops were stationed, every effort was made by the enemy propagandists to stir up feeling against the Prussians, assuring the soldiers that Prussia, and Prussia alone, was the guilty party, who was responsible for bringing on and continuing the war, and that there was no hostility whatsoever towards the Bavarians, but that there couM
ld be no possibility of coming to their assistance so long as they continued to serve Prussian militarism and helped to pull the
Prussian chestnuts out of the fire.
This persistent propaganda began to have a real influence on our soldiers in 1915. The feeling against Prussia grew quite noticeable among the Bavarian troops, but those in authority did nothing to counteract it. This was something more than a mere crime of omission, for sooner or later, not only the Prussians were bound to have to atone severely M
for it, but the whole German nation, and consequently the Bavarians themselves also. In this direction the enemy propaganda began to achieve undoubted success from 1916 onwards. In a similar way letters coming directly from home had long since been exercising their effect. There was now no further necessity for the enemy to broadcast such letters in leaflet form. The Government did nothing to counteract this influence from home except to issue a few supremely stupid
.</p><blockquote><p>212</p></blockqM
uote><p>The whole front was drenched in this poison which thoughtless women at home sent out, without suspecting for a moment that the enemy
s chances of final victory were thus being strengthened or that the sufferings of their own men at the front were thus being prolonged and rendered more severe. These stupid letters written by German women eventually cost the lives of hundreds of thousands of our men. Thus in 1916 several distressing phenomena were already manifest. The whole front was complaining and
discontented over many things and often justifiably so. While they were hungry and yet patient, and their relatives at home were in distress, in other quarters there was feasting and revelry. Even at the front itself everything was not as it ought to have been in this respect. Even in the early stages of the War the soldiers were sometimes prone to complain, but such criticism was of a domestic nature. The man who at one moment groused and grumbled ceased his murmur after a few moments and went about his M
duty silently, as if this were a matter of course. The company which had given signs of discontent a moment earlier hung on now to its bit of trench, defending it tooth and nail, as if Germany
s fate depended on those few hundred yards of mud, and shell-holes. The glorious old Army was still at its post. A sudden change in my own fortunes soon placed me in a position where I had first-hand experience of the sharp contrast between this old Army and the home front. At the end of September 1916 my division was sent M
into the Battle of the Somme. For us, this was the first of a series of heavy engagements, and the impression created was that of a veritable inferno, rather than war. Through weeks of incessant artillery bombardment we stood firm, at times ceding a little ground but then taking it again, and never giving way. On October 7th, I was wounded, but had the luck to be able to get back to our lines and was then ordered to be sent by ambulance-train to Germany. Two years had passed since I had left home, an almost endlessM
period in such circumstances. I could hardly imagine what Germans looked like except in uniform. In the clearing hospital at Hermies, I was startled when I suddenly heard the voice of a German woman who was acting as nursing sister and talking with one of the wounded men lying near me.</p><blockquote><p>213</p></blockquote><p>To hear such a voice for the first time in two years! The nearer our ambulance-train approached the German frontier, the more restless each one of us became. En route we recognised all these M
places through which we had passed two years before as young volunteers
Brussels, Louvain, Liege
and finally we thought we recognised the first German homestead, with its familiar high gables and picturesque window-shutters. Home! In October 1914, our hearts had been afire with wild enthusiasm as we crossed this frontier. Now silence and profound emotion reigned supreme. Each one was happy to think that Fate had permitted him to see once again this lend for the protection of which he had offered his life, and eM
ach one was almost ashamed to allow the other to see his eyes. Almost on the second anniversary of my departure for the front I entered the hospital at Beelitz, near Berlin. What a change! From the mud of the Somme battlefields to the spotless white beds in this wonderful building! One hesitated at first before entering them. It was only by slow stages that one could grow accustomed to this new world again, but, unfortunately, there were certain other respects in which this new world was different. The spirit of thM
e Army at the front appeared to be out of place here. For the first time I encountered something which up to then was unknown at the front, namely, boasting of one
s own cowardice, for, though we certainly heard complaining and grousing at the front, this was never in the spirit of any agitation to insubordination and certainly not an attempt to glorify one
s fear. Out there at the front a coward was a coward and nothing else, and the contempt which his weakness aroused in others was general, just as the real hM
ero was admired all round. But here in hospital the spirit was quite different in some respects. Loud-mouthed agitators were busy here in heaping ridicule on the good soldier and painting the weak-kneed poltroon in glorious colours. A couple of miserable human specimens were the ringleaders in this process of defamation. One of them boasted of having intentionally injured his hand on barbed wire entanglements in order to get sent to hospital.</p><blockquote><p>214</p></blockquote><p>Although his wound was only a slM
ight one, it appeared that he had been here for a very long time and would manage to remain here indefinitely, just as he had managed to get sent here in the ambulance-train through swindling. This pestilential specimen actually had the audacity to parade his knavery as the manifestation of a courage which was superior to that of the brave soldier who dies a hero
s death. There were many who heard this talk in silence, but there were others who expressed their assent to what the fellow said. Personally I was disgM
usted at the thought that a seditious agitator of this kind should be allowed to remain in such an institution. What could be done? The hospital authorities here must have known who and what he was, and actually they did know, but still they did nothing about it. As soon as I was able to walk once again I obtained leave to visit Berlin. Bitter want was in evidence everywhere. The metropolis, with its teeming millions, was suffering from hunger. Discontent was rife. The talk that was current in the various places ofM
refreshment and in the hospices frequented by the soldiers was much the same as that in our hospital. The impression gained was that these fellows purposely singled out such places in order to spread their views. In Munich conditions were far worse. After my discharge from hospital I was sent to a reserve battalion there. I felt as if I were in some strange town. Anger, discontent, complaints met one
s ears wherever one went. The morale of the men in the reserve battalion itself was indescribably bad. To a certaM
in extent this was due to the infinitely maladroit manner in which the soldiers who had returned from the front were treated by the instructors who had never seen a day
s active service and who, on that account, were partly incapable of adopting the proper attitude towards the old soldiers. Naturally those old soldiers displayed certain characteristics which had been developed from the experience; in the trenches. The officers of the reserve units could not understand these peculiarities, whereas the officer homeM
from active service was at least in a position to understand them for himself.</p><blockquote><p>215</p></blockquote><p>As a result he received more respect from the men than officers at the home headquarters. But, apart from all this, the general spirit was deplorable. The art of shirking was looked upon almost as a proof of superior intelligence, and devotion to duty was considered a sign of weakness or stupidity. The administrative offices were staffed by Jews. Almost every clerk was a Jew and every Jew was a cM
lerk. I was amazed at this multitude of
, who belonged to the chosen race, and could not help comparing it with their slender numbers in the fighting lines. In the business world the situation was even worse. Here the Jews had actually become
Like leeches, they were slowly sucking the blood from the pores of the national body. By means of newly-floated war-companies an instrument had been discovered whereby all national trade was throttled, so that no business could be carried on M
freely. Special emphasis was laid on the necessity for unhampered centralisation. Hence, as early as 1916
17, practically all production was under the control of Jewish finance. But against whom was the anger of the people directed? It was then, that I already saw the fateful day approaching which must finally bring the d
cle, unless timely preventive measures were taken. While Jewry was busy despoiling the nation and tightening the screws of its despotism, the work of inciting the people against the PrussianM
s was intensified and just as nothing was done at the front to put a stop to this venomous propaganda, so here at home no official steps were taken against it. Nobody seemed capable of understanding that the collapse of Prussia could never bring about the rise of Bavaria. On the contrary, the collapse of the one must necessarily drag the other down with it. This kind of behaviour affected me very deeply. In it I could see only a clever Jewish trick for diverting public attention from themselves to others. While PruM
ssians and Bavarians were squabbling, the Jews were taking away the sustenance of both from under their very noses.</p><blockquote><p>216</p></blockquote><p>While Prussians were being abused in Bavaria, the Jews organised the revolution and with one stroke smashed both Prussia and Bavaria. I could not tolerate this execrable squabbling among people of the same German stock and preferred to be at the front once again. Therefore, just after my arrival in Munich I reported myself for service again. At the beginning ofM
March 1917, I rejoined my old regiment at the front. Towards the end of 1917 it seemed as if we had got over the worst phases of moral depression at the front. After the Russian collapse the whole Army recovered its courage and hope, and all were gradually becoming more and more convinced that the struggle would end in our favour. We could sing once again. The ravens were ceasing to croak. Faith in the future of the Fatherland was once more in the ascendant. The Italian collapse in the autumn of 1917 had a wonderfM
ul effect, for this victory proved that it was possible to bleak through another, front besides the Russian. This inspiring thought now became dominant in the minds of millions at the front and encouraged them to look forward with confidence to the spring of 1918. It was quite obvious that the enemy was in a state of depression. During this winter the front was somewhat quieter than usual, but that was the lull before the storm. Just when preparations were being made to launch a final offensive which would bring thM
is seemingly eternal struggle to an end, while endless columns of transports were bringing men and munitions to the front, and while the men were being trained for that final onslaught, then it was that the greatest act of treachery during the whole War was accomplished in Germany. Germany must not win the war. At that moment when victory seemed ready to alight on the German standards, a conspiracy was arranged for the purpose of striking at the heart of the Germany spring offensive with one blow from the rear and M
thus making victory impossible. A general strike was organised in the munitions factories. If this conspiracy had achieved its purpose, the German front would have collapsed and the wishes of the Vorw
rts (the organ of the Social Democratic Party) that this time victory should not rest with the German banners, would have been fulfilled.</p><blockquote><p>217</p></blockquote><p>For want of munitions, the front would have been broken through within a few weeks, the offensive would have been effectively stopped and tM
he Entente saved. Then international finance would assume control over Germany and the internal objective of the Marxist betrayal of the nations would be achieved. That objective was the destruction of the national economic system and the establishment of international capitalistic domination in its stead. This goal has really been reached, thanks to the stupid credulity of the one side and the unspeakable cowardice of the other. The munitions strike, however, did not bring the final success that had been hoped forM
, namely, to starve the front of ammunition. It lasted too short a time for the lack of ammunition as such to bring disaster to the Army, as was originally planned, but the moral damage was much more terrible. In the first place, what was the Army fighting for if the people at home did not wish it to be victorious? For whom then were those enormous sacrifices and privations being made and endured? Must the soldiers fight for victory while the home front went on strike against it? In the second place, what effect diM
d this move have on the enemy? In the winter of 1917
18, dark clouds hovered in the firmament of the Entente. For nearly four years onslaught after onslaught had been made against the German giant, but had failed to bring him to the ground. He had to keep them at bay with one arm that held the defensive shield, because his other arm had, to be free to wield the sword against his enemies, now in the East and now in the South. But at last these enemies were overcome and his rear was now free for the conflict in theM
West. Rivers of blood had been shed for the accomplishment of that task; but now the sword was free to combine in battle with the shield on the Western Front, and since the enemy had hitherto failed to break the German defence here, the Germans themselves had now to launch the attack. The enemy feared the attack and trembled for his victory. In Paris and London conferences followed one another in unending succession. Even the enemy propaganda encountered difficulties. It was no longer so easy to demonstrate that tM
he prospect of a German victory was hopeless. A prudent silence reigned at the front, even among the troops of the Entente. The insolence of their masters had suddenly subsided.</p><blockquote><p>218</p></blockquote><p>A disturbing truth began to dawn on them. Their opinion of the German soldier had changed. Hitherto they were able to picture him as a kind of fool whose end would be destruction, but now they found themselves face to face with the soldier who had overcome their Russian ally. The policy of restrictinM
g the offensive to the East, which had been imposed on the German military authorities by the necessities of the situation, now seemed to the Entente a tactical stroke of genius. For three years these Germans had been battering away at the Russian front without any apparent success at first. Those fruitless efforts were almost sneered at, for it was thought that in the long run the Russian giant would triumph through sheer force of numbers. Germany would be worn out through shedding so much blood, and facts appeareM
d to confirm this hope. Since the days of September 1914, when, for the first time, interminable columns of Russian prisoners of war had poured into German, after the Battle of Tannenberg, it seemed as if the stream would never end, but that as soon as one army was defeated and routed, another took its place. The supply of soldiers which the gigantic empire placed at the disposal of the Czar seemed inexhaustible; new victims were always at hand for the holocaust of war. How long could Germany hold out in this compeM
tition? Would not the day finally have to came when, after the last victory which the Germans would achieve, there would still remain reserve armies in Russia to be mustered for the final battle? And what then? According to human standards, a Russian victory over Germany might be delayed, but it would have to come in the long run. All the hopes that had been based on Russia were now lost. The ally who had sacrificed the most blood on the altar of their mutual interests had come to the end of his resources and lay pM
rostrate before his unrelenting foe. A feeling of terror and dismay came over the Entente soldiers who had hitherto been buoyed up by blind faith. They feared the coming spring, for, seeing that they had hitherto failed to break the Germans when the latter could concentrate only part of their fighting strength on the Western Front, how could they count on victory now that the undivided forces of that amazing land of heroes appeared to be gathering for a massed attack in the West?</p><blockquote><p>219</p></blockquoM
te><p>The shadow of the events which had taken place in South Tyrol and the spectre of General Cadorna
s defeated armies, were reflected in the gloomy faces of the Entente troops in Flanders. Faith in victory gave way to fear of defeat to come. Then, on those cold nights, when one almost heard the tread of the German armies advancing to the great assault, and the decision was being awaited in fear and trembling, suddenly a lurid light was set aglow in Germany and sent its rays into the last shell-hole on the enemM
s front. At the very moment when the German divisions were receiving their final orders for the great offensive, a general strike broke out in Germany. At first the world was dumbfounded. Then the enemy propaganda began activities once again and pounced on this theme at the eleventh hour. All of a sudden, a means had come which could be utilised to revive the sinking confidence of the Entente soldiers. The probability of victory could now be presented as certain, and the anxious foreboding in regard to coming eM
vents could now be transformed into a feeling of resolute assurance. The regiments that had to bear the brunt of the greatest German onslaught in history could now be inspired with the conviction that the final decision in this War would not be won by the audacity of the German assault, but rather by the powers of endurance on the side of the defence. Let the Germans now have whatever victories they liked, the revolution and not the victorious Army was welcomed in the Fatherland. British, French, and American newspM
apers began to spread this belief among their readers while a very ably-conducted propaganda encouraged the morale of their troops at the front.
Germany facing Revolution! Allied victory inevitable!
That was the best medicine to set the staggering Poilu and Tommy on their feet once again. Our rifles and machine-guns could now open fire once again; but instead of effecting a panic-stricken retreat, they were now met with a determined resistance that was full of confidence. That was the result of the strike in M
the munitions factories. Throughout the enemy countries faith in victory was thus revived and strengthened, and that paralysing feeling of despair which had hitherto made itself felt on the Allied front was banished.</p><blockquote><p>220</p></blockquote><p>Consequently, the strike cost the lives of thousands of German soldiers, but the despicable instigators of that dastardly strike were candidates for the highest public office in the Germany of the Revolution. At first it was apparently possible to overcome the rM
epercussion of these events on the German soldiers, but on the enemy
s side they had a lasting effect. Here the resistance had lost all the character of an army fighting for a hopeless cause. In its place, there was now a grim determination to struggle on to victory, for as far as it was possible to foresee, victory would now be assured, if the Western Front could hold out against the German offensive even for a few months. The Allied parliaments recognised the possibilities of better future and voted huge sums oM
f money for the continuation of the propaganda which was employed for the purpose of breaking up the internal unity of Germany. I had the luck to be able to take part in the first two offensives and in the final offensive. These have left on me the most stupendous impressions of my life
stupendous, because now, for the last time, the struggle lost its defensive character and assumed the character of an offensive, just as in 1914. A sigh of relief went up from the German trenches and dugouts, when finally, after tM
hree years of endurance in that inferno, the day for the settling of accounts had come. Once again the lusty cheering of victorious battalions was heard, as they hung the last crowns of the immortal laurel on the standards which they consecrated to Victory. Once again the strains of patriotic songs soared upwards to the heavens above the endless columns of marching troops, and for the last time the Lord smiled on his ungrateful children. In the summer of 1918, a feeling of sultry oppression hung over the front. At M
home they were quarrelling. About what? We heard a great deal among various units at the front. The War was now a hopeless affair, and only the foolhardy could think of victory. It was not the people, but the capitalists and the monarchy who were interested in carrying on. Such were the ideas that came from home and were discussed at the front. At first this gave rise to only a very slight reaction. What did universal suffrage matter to us?</p><blockquote><p>221</p></blockquote><p>Is this what we had been fighting M
for throughout those four years? It was a dastardly piece of robbery thus to filch from the graves of our heroes the ideals for which they had fallen, It was not to the slogan,
Long live universal suffrage,
that our troops in Flanders once faced certain death, but to the cry:<i>
ber Alles in der Welt
a small but by no means an unimportant difference. The majority of those who were shouting for this suffrage were absent when it came to fighting for it. All this political rabble were sM
trangers to us at the front. During those days only a fraction of this parliamentarian gentry were to be seen where honest Germans foregathered. The old soldiers who had fought at the front had little liking for those new war aims of Messrs. Ebert, Scheidemann, Barth, Liebknecht and others. We could not understand why, all of a sudden, the shirkers should arrogate all executive powers to themselves, without having any regard to the Army. From the very beginning, I had my own definite personal views. I intensely loaM
thed the whole gang of miserable party politicians who had betrayed the people. I had long ago realised that the interests of the nation played only a very small part with this disreputable crew and that what counted with them was the possibility of filling their own empty pockets. My opinion was that those people thoroughly deserved to be hanged, because they were ready to sacrifice the peace and, if necessary, allow Germany to be defeated just to serve their own ends. To consider their wishes would mean to sacrifM
ice the interests of the working-classes for the benefit of a gang of thieves. To meet their wishes meant to agree to sacrifice Germany. Such, too, was the opinion still held by the majority of the Army, but the reinforcements which came from home were fast becoming worse and worse
so much so that their arrival was a source of weakness rather than of strength to our fighting forces. The young recruits, in particular, were for the most part useless. Sometimes it was hard to believe that they were sons of the sameM
nation that sent its youth into the battles that were fought round Ypres. In August and September the symptoms of moral disintegration increased more and more rapidly, although the enemy
s offensive was not at all comparable to the frightfulness, of our own former defensive battles.</p><blockquote><p>222</p></blockquote><p>In comparison with this offensive, the battles fought on the Somme and in Flanders remained in our memories as the most terrible of all horrors. At the end of September my division occupied, fM
or the third time, those positions which we had once taken by storm as young volunteers. What a memory! Here we had received our baptism of fire, in October and November 1914. With a burning love for the mother country in their hearts and a song on their lips, our young regiment went into action as if going to a dance. The most precious blood was sacrificed freely here in the belief that it was shed to protect the freedom and independence of the Fatherland. In July 1917, we set foot for the second time on what we rM
egarded as sacred soil. Were not our best comrades at rest here, some of them little more than boys
the soldiers who had rushed into death for their country
s sake, their eyes glowing with enthusiastic ardour? The older ones among us, who had been with the regiment from the beginning, were deeply moved as we stood on this sacred spot where we had sworn
Loyalty and duty unto death.
Three years ago the regiment had taken this position by storm; now it was called upon to defend it in a gruelling struggle. WiM
th an artillery bombardment that lasted three weeks, the British prepared for their great offensive in Flanders. There the spirit of the dead seemed to live again. The regiment dug itself into the mud, clung to its shell-holes and craters, neither flinching nor wavering, but growing smaller in numbers day by day. Finally the British launched their attack on July 31st, 1917. We were relieved in the beginning of August. The regiment had dwindled down to a few companies, who staggered back, mud-encrusted, more like phM
antoms than human beings. Besides a few hundred yards of shell-holes, death was all that the British gained. Now, in the autumn of 1918, we stood for the third time on the ground we had stormed in 1914. The village of Comines, which had formerly served us as base, was now within the fighting zone. Although little had changed in the surrounding district itself, the men had become different, somehow or other. They now talked politics. As everywhere else, the poison from home was having its effect here also.</p><blockM
quote><p>223</p></blockquote><p>The fresh drafts proved a complete failure. They had come directly from home. During the night of October 13th
14th, the British opened an attack with gas on the front south of Ypres. They used mustard gas whose effect was unknown to us, at least from personal experience. I was destined to experience it that very night. On a hill south of Wervick, on the evening of October 13th, we were subjected for several hours to a heavy bombardment with gas-shells, which continued throughout tM
he night with more or less even intensity. About midnight a number of us were put out of action, some for ever. Towards morning, I also began to feel pain. It increased with every quarter of an hour, and about seven o
clock my eyes were scorching as I staggered back and delivered the last dispatch I was destined to carry in this war. A few hours later my eyes were like glowing coals, and all was darkness around me. I was sent into hospital at Pasewalk in Pomerania, and there it was that I was to hear of the RevolM
ution. For a long time there had been something in the air which was indefinable and oppressive. People were saying that something was bound to happen within the next few weeks, although I could not imagine what this meant. In the first instance I thought of a strike similar to the one which had taken place in the spring. Unfavourable rumours were constantly coming from the Navy, which was said to be in a state of ferment, but this seemed to be a crazy notion put about by certain individuals, rather than something M
which concerned many people. It is true that at the hospital they were all talking about the end of the war and hoping that this was not far off, but nobody thought that the decision would come immediately. I was not able to read the newspapers. In November, the general tension increased. Then one day disaster broke in upon us suddenly and without warning. Sailors came in motor-lorries and called on us to rise in revolt. A few Jews were the
in that combat for the
Liberty, Beauty, and Dignity
our national existence. Not one of them had seen active service at the front. By way of a hospital for venereal diseases these three Orientals had been seat back home.</p><blockquote><p>224</p></blockquote><p>Now they were hoisting their red rags here. During the last few days I had begun to feel somewhat better. The burning pain in my eye-sockets had become less severe. Gradually, I was able to distinguish the general outlines of my immediate surroundings, and it was permissible to hope that I would at least recovM
er my sight sufficiently to be able to take up some profession later on. That I would ever be able to draw or design again was naturally out of the question. Thus I was on the way to recovery when the frightful hour came. My first thought was that this outbreak of high treason was only a local affair. I tried to spread this belief among my comrades. My Bavarian hospital-mates, in particular, were readily responsive. Their inclinations were anything but revolutionary. I could not imagine this madness breaking out inM
Munich, for it seemed to me that loyalty to the House of Wittelsbach was, after all, stronger than the will of a few Jews, and so I could not help believing that this was merely a revolt in the Navy and that it would be suppressed within the next few days. The next few days brought with them the most terrible certainty. The rumours grew more and more persistent. I was told that what I had considered to be a local affair was in reality a general revolution. In addition to this, from the front came the shameful newsM
that they wished to capitulate! What! Was such a thing possible? On November 10th, the local pastor visited the hospital for the purpose of delivering a short address, and that was how we came to know the whole story. I was in a fever of excitement as I listened to the address. The reverend old gentleman seemed to be trembling when he informed us that the House of Hohenzollern should no longer wear the Imperial Crown, that the Fatherland had become a
that we should pray to the Almighty not to withhM
old His blessing from the new order of things and not to abandon our people in the days to come. In delivering this, message he could not do more than briefly express appreciation of the Royal House, its services to Pomerania, to Prussia, indeed to the whole of the German Fatherland, and at this point he broke down.</p><blockquote><p>225</p></blockquote><p>A feeling of profound dismay fell on the people in that assembly, and I do not think there was a single eye that was not wet with tears. As for myself, I broke dM
own completely when the old gentleman tried to resume his story by informing us that we must now end this long war, because the war was lost, he said, and we were at the mercy of the victor. The Fatherland would have to bear heavy burdens in the future. We were to accept the terms of the Armistice and trust to the magnanimity of our former enemies. It was impossible for me to stay and listen any longer. Darkness surrounded me as I staggered and stumbled back to my ward and buried my aching head between the blanketsM
and pillow. I had not cried since the day that I stood beside my mother
s grave. Whenever Fate dealt cruelly with me in my young days the spirit of determination within me grew stronger and stronger. During all those long years of war, when Death claimed many a true friend and comrade from our ranks, to me it would have appeared sinful to have uttered a word of complaint. Did they not die for Germany? And, finally, almost in the last few days of that titanic struggle, when the waves of poison-gas enveloped me anM
d began to penetrate my eyes, the thought of becoming permanently blind unnerved me, but the voice of conscience cried out immediately
You miserable fellow, would you start howling when there are thousands of others whose lot is a hundred times worse than yours?
And so I accepted my misfortune in silence, realising that this was the only thing to be done and that personal suffering was nothing as compared with the misfortune of one
s country. All had been in vain. In vain all the sacrifices and privationsM
, in vain the hunger and thirst for endless months, in vain those hours that was stuck to our posts though the fear of death gripped our souls, and in vain the deaths of two millions who fell in discharging their duty. Think of those hundreds of thousands who set out with hearts full of faith in their Fatherland, and never returned; ought not their graves to open, so that the spirits of those heroes bespattered with mud and blood might come home and take vengeance on those who had so despicably betrayed the greatesM
t sacrifice which a man can make for his country?</p><blockquote><p>226</p></blockquote><p>Was it for this that the soldiers died in August and September 1914, for this that the volunteer regiments followed their older comrades in the autumn of the same year? Was it for this that those boys of seventeen years of age were mingled with the earth of Flanders? Was this the reason for the sacrifice which German mothers made for their Fatherland when, with heavy hearts, they said good-bye to their sons, who never returneM
d? Had all this been done in order to enable a gang of despicable criminals to lay hands on the Fatherland? Was this, then, what the German soldier struggled for through sweltering heat and blinding snowstorm, enduring hunger and thirst and cold, fatigued from sleepless nights and endless marches? Was it for this that he lived through an inferno of artillery bombardments, lay gasping and choking during gas-attacks, neither flinching nor faltering, remembering only that it was his duty to defend the Fatherland againM
st the enemy? Certainly those heroes also deserved the epitaph:
Traveller, when you come to Germany, tell the mother country that we lie here, true to the Fatherland and faithful unto death.
was this the only sacrifice that we had to consider? Was the Germany of the past a country of little worth? Did she not owe a certain duty to her own history? Were we still worthy to partake in the glory of the past? How could we justify this act to future generations? What a gang of despicable and deprM
aved criminals! The more I tried then to gain an insight into the terrible events that had happened, the more did I bum with rage and shame. What was all the pain I suffered in my eyes compared with this tragedy? The following days were terrible to bear, and the nights still worse. I realised that all was lost. To depend on the mercy of the enemy was a precept which only fools or criminal liars could recommend. During those nights my hatred increased
hatred for the originators of this dastardly crime.</p><blockquM
ote><p>227</p></blockquote><p>During the days which followed my own fate became clear to me. I was forced now to scoff at the thought of my personal future, which hitherto had been the cause of so much worry to me. Was it not ludicrous to think of building up anything on such a foundation? Finally, it also became clear to me that it was the inevitable that had happened, something which I had feared for a long time, though I really had not had the heart to believe it. Emperor Wilhelm II was the first German Emperor M
to offer the hand of friendship to the Marxist leaders, not suspecting that they were scoundrels without any sense of honour. While they held the imperial hand in one of theirs, the other was already feeling for the dagger. There is no such thing as coming to an understanding with the Jews. It must be a hard-and-fast
For my part I then decided that I would take up political work.</p><blockquote><p>228</p></blockquote><blockquote><p>229</p></blockquote><blockquote><p>230</p></blockquote><h1 id="chapM
ter-viii-the-beginning-of-my-political-activities">CHAPTER VIII: THE BEGINNING OF MY POLITICAL ACTIVITIES</h1><p>Towards the end of November, I returned to Munich. I went to the depot of my regiment, which was now in, the hands of the Soldiers
Councils. As the whole business was repulsive to me, I decided to leave as soon as I possibly could. With my faithful war-comrade, Schmiedt Ernst, I went to Traunstein and remained there until the camp was broken up. In March 1919, we were back again in Munich. The situatiM
on there could not last as it was. It tended irresistibly to a further extension of the Revolution. Eisner
s death served only to hasten this development and finally led to the dictatorship of the Councils, or, to put it more correctly, to a Jewish hegemony, which turned out to be transitory, but which was the original aim of those who had contrived the Revolution. At that juncture innumerable plans took shape in my mind. I spent whole days pondering on the problem of what could be done, but unfortunately every pM
roject had to give way before the hard fact that I was quite unknown and therefore did not have even, the first qualifications necessary for effective action. Later on I shall explain the reasons why I could not decide to join any of the parties then in existence. As the new Revolution began to run its course, my activities drew down upon me the ill-will of the Central Council. In the early morning of April 27th, 1919, I was to have been arrested, but the three fellows who came to arrest me did not have the courageM
to face my rifle and withdrew empty-handed. A few days after the liberation of Munich I was ordered to appear before the Inquiry Commission which had been set up by the 2nd Infantry Regiment for the purpose of investigating revolutionary activities. That was my first incursion into the more or less political field. A few weeks later I received orders to attend a course of lectures which were being given to members of the Army. This course was meant to propagate certain fundamental principles on which the soldier cM
ould base his political ideas.</p><blockquote><p>231</p></blockquote><p>For me the advantage of this organisation was that it gave me a chance of meeting fellow-soldiers who were of the same way of thinking and with whom I could discuss the actual situation. We were all more or less firmly convinced that Germany could not be saved from imminent disaster by those who had participated in the November crime
that is to say, by the Centre and the Social Democrats, and also that the so-called Bourgeois-National group cM
ould not make good the damage that had been done, even if their intentions were of the best. Certain conditions necessary for the successful undertaking of such a task were not fulfilled. The years that followed have justified the opinions which we held at that time. In our small circle we discussed the project of forming a new party. The leading ideas which we then proposed were the same as those which were carried into effect afterwards, when the German Labour Party was founded. The name of the new movement whichM
was to be founded should be such that, of itself, it would appeal to the masses of the people, for all our efforts would turn out vain and useless if this condition were lacking. That was the reason why we chose the name
Social Revolutionary Party,
particularly because the social principles of our new organisation were indeed revolutionary. There was also a more fundamental reason. The attention which I had given to economic problems during my earlier years was more or less confined to considerations arisingM
directly out of the social problem. Subsequently my outlook broadened as I came to study the German policy of alliance. This policy was very largely the result of an erroneous valuation of the economic situation, together with a confused notion as to the basis on which the future subsistence of the German people could be guaranteed. All these ideas were based on the principle that capital is exclusively the product of labour and that, just like labour, it was subject to all the factors which can hinder or promote M
human activity. Hence, from the national standpoint, the significance of capital depended on the greatness, freedom and power of the State, that is to say, of the nation, and it is this dependence alone which leads capital to promote the interests of the State and the nation, from an instinct of self-preservation and for the sake of its own development.</p><blockquote><p>232</p></blockquote><p>Consequently, the dependence of capital upon the independent and Free State would force it to defend the nation
, might, strength, etc. According to such principles the duty of the State towards capital would be comparatively simple and clear. Its only object would be to make sure that capital remained subservient to the State and did not allocate to itself the right to dominate national interests. Thus the State could confine its activities within the two following limits: on the one side, to assure a vital and independent system of national economy and, on the other, to safeguard the social rights of the workers. PreviouslM
y, I did not recognise with adequate clearness the difference between that capital which is purely the product of creative labour, and the existence and nature of capital which is exclusively the result of financial speculation. Here I needed a stimulus to set my mind thinking in this direction, but that had hitherto been lacking. The requisite stimulus now came from one of the men who delivered lectures in the course I have already mentioned. This was Gottfried Feder. For the first time in my life, I heard a discuM
ssion which dealt with the principles of stock-exchange capital and capital which was used for loan activities. After hearing the first lecture delivered by Feder, the idea immediately came into my head that I had now found a way to establish one of the most essential prerequisites for the founding of a new party. To my mind, Feder
s merit consisted in the ruthless and trenchant way in which he described the speculative and political economic character of the capital used in stock exchange and loan transactions, M
laying bare the fact that this capital is always dependent on the payment of interest. In fundamental questions his statements were so full of common sense that even those who criticised him did not deny that au fond his ideas were sound, but they doubted whether it were possible to put these ideas into practice. To me, this seemed the strongest point in Feder
s teaching, though others considered it a weak point. It is not the business of him who lays down a theoretical programme to explain the various ways in whM
ich something can be put into practice.</p><blockquote><p>233</p></blockquote><p>His task is to deal with the problem as such; and he has, therefore, to look to the end rather than the means. The important question is whether an idea is fundamentally right or not. The question as to whether it may or may not be difficult to carry it out in practice is quite another matter. When a man, whose task it is to lay down the principles of a programme or policy, begins to busy himself with the question as to whether it is eM
xpedient and practical, instead of confining himself to a statement of the absolute truth, his work will cease to be a guiding star to those who are looking, for light and guidance, and will become merely a recipe for everyday life. The man who lays down the programme of a movement must consider only the goal. It is for the political leader to point out the way in which that goal may be reached. The thought of the former will, therefore, be determined by those truths that are everlasting, whereas the activity of thM
e latter must always be guided by taking practical account of the circumstances in which those truths have to be carried into effect. The greatness of the one will depend on the absolute truth of his idea considered in the abstract; whereas that of the other will depend on whether or not he correctly judges the given realities and how they may be utilised under the guidance of the truths established by the former. The test of greatness as applied to a political leader is the success of his plans and his enterprisesM
, which means his ability to reach the goal for which he sets out; whereas the final goal set up by the political philosopher can never be reached, for human thought may grasp truths and visualise ends which it sees with crystal clarity, though such ends can ever be completely attained, because human nature is weak and imperfect. The more an idea is correct in the abstract, and, the more comprehensive it therefore is, the smaller is the possibility of putting it into practice, at least as far as this depends on humM
an beings. The significance of a political philosopher does not depend on the practical success of the plans he lays down, but rather on their absolute truth and the influence they exert on the progress of mankind. If it were otherwise, the founders of religions could not be considered as the greatest men who have ever lived, because their moral aims will never be completely or even approximately carried out in practice.</p><blockquote><p>234</p></blockquote><p>Even that religion which is called the religion of broM
therly love is actually no more than a faint reflex of the will of its sublime Founder, but its significance lies in the orientation which it endeavoured to give to human civilisation and human virtue and morals. This very wide difference between the functions of a political philosopher and a practical political leader is the reason why the qualifications necessary for both functions are scarcely ever found combined in the same person. This applies especially to the so-called successful politician of the lesser kinM
d, whose activity is indeed hardly more than that of practising the art of accomplishing the possible, as Bismarck modestly defined the art of politics in general. If such a politician resolutely avoids great ideas, his success will be all the easier to attain; it will be attained more expeditiously, and will frequently be more tangible. By reason of this very fact, however, such success is doomed to futility and sometimes does not even, survive the death of its author. Generally speaking, the work of such politiciM
ans is without significance for the following generation, because their temporary success was based on the expediency of avoiding all really great decisive problems and ideas which would hold good for future generations likewise. To pursue ideals which will still be of value and significance for the future is generally not a very profitable undertaking and he who follows such a course is only very rarely understood by the masses of the people, who find the price of beer and milk a more persuasive index of politicalM
values than far-sighted plans for the future, the realisation of which can only take place later on and the advantages of which can be reaped only by posterity. Because of a certain vanity, which is always one of the blood relations of unintelligence, the general run of politicians will always eschew those schemes for the future which are really difficult to put into practice; and they will avoid them in order that they may not lose the immediate favour of the mob. The importance and the success of such politicianM
s belong exclusively to the present and will be of no consequence for the future, but that does not worry small-minded people who are quite content with momentary results.</p><blockquote><p>235</p></blockquote><p>The position of the constructive political philosopher is quite different. The importance of his work must always be fudged from the standpoint of the future; and he is frequently described by the word<i>Weltfremder</i>, or dreamer. While the ability of the politician consists in mastering the art of the pM
ossible, the founder of a political system belongs to those who are said to please the gods only because they wish for and demand the impossible. They will always have to renounce contemporary fame, but if their ideas be immortal, posterity will acclaim them. Within long spans of human progress it may occasionally happen that the practical politician and political philosopher are one. The more intimate this union is, the greater will be the obstacles which the activity of the politician will have to encounter. SuchM
a man does not labour for the purpose of satisfying demands that are obvious to every Philistine, but he reaches out towards ends which can be understood only by the few. His life is torn asunder by hatred and love. The protest of his contemporaries, who do not understand the man, is in conflict with the recognition of posterity, for whom he also works. The greater the work which a man does for the future, the less will he be appreciated by his contemporaries. His struggle will accordingly be the more severe, and M
his success the rarer. When, in the course of centuries, such a man appears and is blessed with success, then, towards the end of his days, he may have a faint prevision of his future fame. Such great men are only the Marathon runners of history; the laurels of contemporary fame are only for the brow of the dying hero. The great protagonists are those who fight for their ideas and ideals despite the fact that they receive no recognition at the hands of their contemporaries. They are the men whose memories will be eM
nshrined in the hearts of future generations. It seems then as if each individual felt it his duty to make retrospective atonement for the wrong which great men have suffered at the hands of their contemporaries. Their lives and their work are then studied with touching and grateful admiration.</p><blockquote><p>236</p></blockquote><p>Especially in dark days of distress, such men have the power of healing broken hearts and of raising the despairing spirit of a people. To this group belong not only the genuinely greM
at statesmen but all the great reformers as well. Besides Frederick the Great we have men such as Martin Luther and Richard Wagner. When I heard Gottfried Feder
The Abolition of the Thraldom of Interest,
I understood immediately that here was a truth of transcendental importance for the future of the German people. The absolute separation of stock-exchange capital from the economic life of the nation would make it possible to oppose the process of internationalisation in German business, M
without at the same time attacking capital as such, for to do this would jeopardise the foundations of our national independence. I clearly saw what was developing in Germany and I realised then that the stiffest fight we would have to wage would not be against an alien enemy, but against international capital. In Feder
s speech I found an effective slogan for our coming struggle. Here again, later events proved how correct was the impression we then had. The fools among our bourgeois politicians no longer mock aM
t us on this score, for even those politicians now see if they would speak the truth that international stock-exchange capital was not only the chief instigating factor in bringing about the war, but that, now the war is over, it serves to turn the peace into a hell. The struggle against international finance capital and loan capital has become one of the most important points in the programme on which the German nation has based its fight for economic freedom and independence. Regarding the objections raised by soM
-called practical people, the following answer must suffice. All apprehension concerning the fearful economic consequences that would follow the abolition of the thraldom that results from interest-capital are ill-timed, for, in the first place, the economic principles hitherto followed have proved fatal to the interests of the German people. The attitude adopted when the question of preserving our national existence arose, vividly recalls similar advice once given by experts
the Bavarian Medical College, for exaM
on the question of introducing railroads.</p><blockquote><p>237</p></blockquote><p>The fears expressed by that august body of experts were not realised. Those who travelled in the coaches of the new
did not suffer from vertigo. Those who looked on did not become ill and the hoardings which were to have been erected to conceal the new invention, were never put up. Only the blinkers which obscure the vision of the would-be
have remained, and this will always be so. In the secondM
place, the following must be borne in mind. Any idea may be a source of danger if it is looked upon as an end in itself, when in reality it is only the means to an end. For me, and for all genuine National Socialists, there is only one slogan: People and Fatherland. What we have to fight for is the necessary security for the existence and increase of our race and people, the subsistence of our children and the maintenance of our racial stock unmixed, the freedom and independence of the Fatherland, so that our peopM
le may be enabled to fulfil the mission assigned to it by the Creator. All ideas and ideals, all teaching and all knowledge, must serve these ends. It is from this standpoint that everything must be examined and turned to practical use, or else discarded. Thus, a theory can never become a mere dead dogma, since everything must serve the purpose of guaranteeing our existence. The conclusions arrived at by Gottfried Feder determined me to make a fundamental study of a question with which I had hitherto not been very M
familiar. I began to study again and thus it was that I first came to understand perfectly what was the substance and purpose of the life-work of the Jew, Karl Marx. His<i>Capital</i>became intelligible to me for the first time, and in the light of it I now clearly understood the fight of the Social Democrats against national economics, a fight which was to prepare the ground for the hegemony of a real international and stock-exchange capital.</p><blockquote><p>238</p></blockquote><p>In another direction also, thisM
course of lectures had important consequences for me. One day I put my name down as wishing to take part in the discussion. Another of the participants thought that he would break a lance for the Jews and entered into a lengthy defence of them. This aroused my opposition. An overwhelming number of those who attended the lecture course supported my views. The consequence of it all was that, a few days later, I was assigned to a regiment then stationed in Munich and given a position there as
instruction officer.
At that time the spirit of discipline was rather weak among the troops which were still suffering from the after-effects of the period when the Soldiers
Councils were in control. Only gradually and carefully could a new spirit of military discipline and obedience be introduced in place of
voluntary obedience,
a term which had been used to express the ideal of military discipline under Kurt Eisner
s higgledy-piggledy regime. The soldiers had to be taught to think and feel in a national and patriotic waM
y. In these two directions lay my future line of action. I took up my work with the greatest zeal and devotion. Here I was presented with an opportunity of speaking before quite a large audience. I was now able to confirm what I had hitherto merely felt, namely, that I had a talent for public speaking. My voice had become so much better that I could be well understood, at least in all parts of the small hall where the soldiers assembled. No task could have been more pleasing to me than this one; for now, before beiM
ng demobilised, I was in a position to render useful service to an institution which had become infinitely dear to my heart, namely, the Army. I am able to state that my talks were successful. During the course of my lectures I have led back hundreds and even thousands of my fellow-countrymen to their people and their Fatherland. I
those troops and by so doing I helped to restore general discipline. Here again I made the acquaintance of several comrades whose line of thought was similar to my ownM
and who later became members of the first group out of which the new movement developed.</p><blockquote><p>239</p></blockquote><blockquote><p>240</p></blockquote><blockquote><p>241</p></blockquote><h1 id="chapter-ix-the-german-labour-party">CHAPTER IX: THE GERMAN LABOUR PARTY</h1><p>One day I received an order from my superior officer to investigate the nature of an association which was apparently political. It called itself
The German Labour Party
and was soon to hold a meeting at which Gottfried Feder wouM
ld speak. I was ordered to attend this meeting and report on the nature of the association. The spirit of curiosity in which the army authorities then regarded political parties can be very well understood. The Revolution had granted the soldiers the right to take an active part in politics and it was particularly those with the smallest experience who had availed themselves of this privilege, but not until the Centre and the Social Democratic Parties were reluctantly forced to recognise that the sympathies of the M
soldiers had turned away from the revolutionary parties towards the national movement and the national reawakening, did they feel obliged to withdraw from the Army the right to vote, and to ban all political activity among the soldiers. The fact that the centre and Marxism had adopted this policy was instructive, because if they had not thus curtailed the
rights of the citizen
as they described the political rights of the soldiers after the Revolution
the government which had been established in November M
1918 would have been overthrown within a few years and the dishonour and disgrace of the nation would not have been further prolonged. At that time the soldiers were on the point of ridding the nation of the vampires and fawners who served the cause of the Entente in the interior of the country, but the fact that the so-called
parties voted enthusiastically for the doctrinaire policy of the criminals who organised the revolution in November 1918 also helped to render the Army ineffectual as an instruM
ment of national restoration, and thus showed once again what might be the outcome of the purely abstract notions imbibed by these most gullible people. The minds of the bourgeois middle classes had become so fossilised that they sincerely believed the Army could once again become what it had previously been, namely, a rampart of German valour, while the Centre Party and the Marxists intended only to extract the poisonous tooth of nationalism, without which an army must always remain just a polite force, but can neM
ver be in the position of a military organisation capable of fighting against an outside enemy.</p><blockquote><p>242</p></blockquote><p>This truth was sufficiently proved by subsequent events. Or did our
politicians believe, after all, that the development of our army could be other than national? This belief might be possible and could be explained by the fact that, during the war, they had been not soldiers, but merely talkers. In other words, they were parliamentarians, and, as such, they did notM
have the slightest idea of what was going on in the hearts of those men who remembered the greatness of their own past and also remembered that they had once been the first soldiers in the world. I decided to attend the meeting of this party which had hitherto been entirely unknown to me. When I arrived that evening in the guest-room of the former Sterneckerbr
which has now become a place of historical significance for us
I found some twenty or twenty-five persons present, most of them belonging to the loweM
r classes. The theme of Feder
s lecture was already familiar to me, for I had heard it in the lecture course of which I have spoken. I could, therefore, concentrate my attention on the society itself. The impression it made upon me was neither good nor bad. I felt that here was just another one of those many new societies which were being formed at that time. In those days everybody felt called upon to found a new party whenever he felt displeased with the course of events and had lost confidence in all the partiM
es already existing. Thus it was that new associations sprouted up all round, to disappear just as quickly, without exercising any effect or making any impression whatsoever. Generally speaking, the founders of such associations did not have the slightest idea of what it means to bring together a number of people for the foundation of a party or a movement. Therefore, these associations disappeared because of their woeful lack of anything like an adequate grasp of the essentials of the situation. My opinion of the M
was not very different after I had listened to their proceedings for about two hours. I was glad when Feder finally came to a close.</p><blockquote><p>243</p></blockquote><p>I had observed enough and was just about to leave when it was announced that anybody who wished was free to take part in the discussion. Thereupon, I decided to remain, but the discussion seemed to proceed without anything of vital importance being mentioned, when suddenly a
commenced to speak. He beganM
by throwing doubt on the accuracy of what Feder had said, and then, after Feder had replied very effectively, the professor suddenly took up his position on what he called
the basis of facts, but before this he recommended the young party most urgently to introduce the secession of Bavaria from Prussia as one of the leading points in its programme. In the most self-assured way, this man kept on insisting that German-Austria would join Bavaria and that the peace would then function much better. He made other simM
ilarly extravagant statements. At this juncture I felt bound to ask for permission to speak and to tell the learned gentleman what I thought. The result was that the honourable gentleman who had last spoken slipped out of the room, like a whipped cur, without uttering a sound. While I was speaking the audience listened with an expression of surprise on their faces. When I was just about to say good-night to the assembly and to leave, a man came after me quickly and introduced himself. I did not grasp the name correM
ctly, but he placed in my hand a little book which was obviously a political pamphlet, and asked me very earnestly to read it. I was quite pleased, because, in this way, I could get to know about this association without having to attend its tiresome meetings. Moreover, this man, who had the appearance of a workman, made a good impression on me. Thereupon, I left the hall. At that time, I was living in one of the barracks of the 2nd Infantry Regiment. I had a little room which still bore unmistakable traces of the M
Revolution. During the day I was mostly out, at the quarters of the Light Infantry Regiment No. 41, or else attending meetings or lectures, held at the quarters of some other unit. I spent only the night at the barracks where I lodged. Since I usually woke up about five o
clock every morning, I got into the habit of amusing myself with watching little mice which scampered about my small room.</p><blockquote><p>244</p></blockquote><p>I used to place a few pieces of hard bread or crust on the floor and watch the fuM
nny little creatures playing around and enjoying themselves with these delicacies. I had suffered so many privations in my life that I well knew what hunger was and could only too well picture to myself the pleasure these little creatures were experiencing. On the morning after the meeting I have mentioned, it happened that about five o
clock I lay fully awake in bed, watching the mice playing and vying with each other. As I was not able to go to sleep again, I suddenly remembered the pamphlet that one of the worM
kers had given me at the meeting. It was a small pamphlet of which this worker was the author. In his little book he described how his mind had thrown off the shackles of the Marxist and trade-union phraseology, and how he had come back to the nationalist ideals. That was the reason why he had entitled his little book,<i>My Political Awakening</i>. The pamphlet secured my attention the moment I began to read, and I read it with interest to the end. The process here described was similar to that which I had experienM
ced in my own case twelve years previously. Unconsciously, my own experiences began to stir again in my mind. During that day my thoughts returned several times to what I had read, but I finally decided to give the matter no further attention. A week or so later, however, I received a postcard which informed me, to my astonishment, that I had been admitted to the German Labour Party. I was asked to answer this communication and to intend a meeting of the party committee on Wednesday next. This manner of getting memM
bers rather amazed me, and I did not know whether to be angry or laugh at it. I had no intention of entering a party already in existence, but wanted to found one of my own. Such an invitation as I had now received, I looked upon as entirely out of the question for me. I was about to send a written reply when my curiosity got the better of me, and I decided to attend the gathering on the date assigned, so that I might expound my principles to these gentlemen in person.</p><blockquote><p>245</p></blockquote><p>WedneM
sday came. The tavern in which the meeting was to take place was the Altes Rosenbad in the Herrnstrasse, into which apparently only an occasional guest wandered. This was not very surprising in the year 1919, when the bill of fare even at the larger restaurants was very modest and scanty and thus not very attractive to clients, but I had never before heard of this restaurant. I went through the badly-lighted tap-room, where not a single guest was to be seen, and searched for the door which led to the side room, andM
Under the dim light shed by a grimy gas-lamp, I could see four young people sitting around a table, one of them being the author of the pamphlet. He greeted me cordially and welcomed me as a new member of the German Labour Party. I was somewhat taken aback. On being informed that, actually, the
of the party had not yet come, I decided that I would keep back my own explanation for the time being. Finally the chairman appeared. He was the man who had been chairmaM
n at the meeting held in the Sterneckerbrau, when Feder had spoken. My curiosity was stimulated anew and I sat waiting for what was going to happen. Now I got at least as far as learning the names of the gentlemen present. The Reich chairman of the association was a certain Herr Harrer and the chairman for the Munich district was Anton Drexler. The minutes of the previous meeting were read out and a vote of confidence in the secretary was passed. Then came the treasurer
s report. The society possessed a total funM
d of seven marks and fifty pfennigs, whereupon the treasurer was assured that he had the confidence of the members. This was now inserted in the minutes. Then letters of reply, which had been drafted by the chairman, were read; first, to a letter received from Kiel, then to one from Dusseldorf and finally to one from Berlin. All three replies received the approval of all present. Then the incoming letters were read
one from Berlin, one from Dusseldorf and one from Kiel. The reception of these letters seemed to caM
use great satisfaction. This increasing bulk of correspondence was taken as the best and most obvious sign of the growing importance of the German Labour Party.</p><blockquote><p>246</p></blockquote><p>And then? Well, there followed a long discussion of the replies which should be given to these newly received letters, It was all very awful. This was the worst kind of parish-pump clubbism. And was I supposed to become a member of such a club? The question of new members was next discussed that is to say, the questiM
on of catching me in the trap. I now began to ask questions. But I found that, apart from a few general principles, there was nothing
no programme, no pamphlet, nothing at all in print, no card of membership, not even a party stamp, nothing but obvious good faith and good intentions. I no longer felt inclined to laugh; for what else was all this but a typical sign of the most complete perplexity and deepest despair concerning all other political parties, their programmes, views and activities? The feeling which hM
ad induced those few young people to join in what seemed such a ridiculous enterprise was nothing but the call of the inner voice which told them
though more intuitively than consciously
that the whole party system as it had hitherto existed was not the kind of force that could restore the German nation or repair the damage that had been done to the German people by those who had hitherto controlled the internal affairs of the nation. I quickly read through the list of principles laid down by the party. These pM
rinciples were stated on typewritten sheets. Here again I found evidence of the spirit of longing and searching, but no sign whatever of a knowledge of the conflict that had to be fought. I myself had experienced the feelings which inspired these people. It was the longing for a movement which should be more than a party, in the hitherto accepted meaning of that word. When I returned to my room in the barracks that evening, I had formed a definite opinion on this association and I was facing the most difficult probM
lem of my life. Should I join this party or refuse? From the common-sense point of view, I felt I ought to refuse, but my feelings troubled me. The more I tried to prove to myself how senseless this club was, on the whole, the more did my feelings incline me to favour it.</p><blockquote><p>247</p></blockquote><p>During the days which followed I was restless. I began to consider all the pros and cons. I had long ago decided to take an active part in politics. The fact that I could do so only through a new movement wM
as quite clear to me, but I had hitherto lacked the impulse to take concrete action. I am not one of those people who will begin something to-day just to give it up the next day for the sake of something new. That was the main reason which made it so difficult for me to decide to join something newly founded; for this must become the real fulfilment of everything I dreamt, or else it had better not be started at all. I knew that such a decision would bind me for ever and then there could be no turning back. For me M
there could be no idle dallying, but only a cause to be championed ardently. I had already an instinctive feeling against people who took up everything, but never carried anything through to the end. I loathed these Jacks-of-all trades, and considered the activities of such people to be worse than if they were to remain entirely quiescent. Fate herself now seemed to point a finger that showed me the way. I should never have entered one of the big parties already in existence and shall explain my reasons for this laM
ter on. This ludicrous little formation, with its handful of members, seemed to have the unique advantage of not yet being fossilised into an
and still offered a chance for real personal activity on the part of the individual. Here it might still be possible to do some effective work, and, as the movement was still small, one could all the more easily give it the required shape. Here it was still possible to determine the character of the movement, the aims to be achieved and the road to be takenM
, which would have been impossible in the case of any of the big parties already existing. The longer I reflected on the problem, the more my conviction grew, that just such a small movement would best serve as an instrument to prepare the way for the national resurgence, but that this could never be done by the political parliamentary parties which were too firmly attached to obsolete ideas or had an interest in supporting the new regime. What had to be proclaimed here was a new<i>Weltanschauung</i>and not a new eM
lection cry.</p><blockquote><p>248</p></blockquote><p>It was, however, infinitely difficult to decide on putting the intention into practice. What were the qualifications which I could bring to the accomplishment of such a task? The fact that I was poor and without resources would, in my opinion, be the easiest to bear, but the fact that I was utterly unknown raised a more difficult problem. I was only one of the millions whom chance allows to exist or to cease to exist, whom even their next-door neighbours will noM
t consent to know. Another difficulty arose from the fact that I had not gone through the regular school curriculum. The so-called
still look down with infinite superciliousness on anyone who has not been through the prescribed schools and allowed them to pump the necessary knowledge into him. The question, What can a man do? is never asked, but rather, what has he learned?
people look upon any imbecile who is plastered with a number of academic certificates as being superior to thM
e ablest young fellow who lacks these precious documents. I could therefore easily imagine how this
world would receive me and I was wrong only in so far as I then believed men to be for the most part better than they proved to be in the cold light of reality. Because of their being as they, are, the few exceptions stand out all the more conspicuously. I learned more and more to distinguish between those who will always be at school and those who will one day come to know something. After two days ofM
careful brooding and reflection I became convinced that I must take the contemplated step. It was the most fateful decision of my life. No retreat was possible. Thus I declared myself ready to accept the membership tendered me by the German Labour Party and received a provisional certificate of membership which bore the number seven.</p><blockquote><p>249</p></blockquote><blockquote><p>250</p></blockquote><blockquote><p>251</p></blockquote><h1 id="chapter-x-the-collapse-of-the-second-reich">CHAPTER X: THE COLLAPSEM
OF THE SECOND REICH</h1><p>The depth of a fall is always measured by the difference between the level of the original position from which a body has fallen and that in which it now lies. The same holds good for nations and States. The matter of greatest importance here is the height of the original level, or rather the greatest height that had been attained before the descent began. Therefore, the original position is of paramount importance, and only the fall or collapse of that which is capable of rising above tM
he general level, can impress the beholder. The collapse of the Second Reich was all the more bewildering for those who could ponder over it and feel the effect of it in their hearts, because the, Reich had fallen from a height which can hardly be imagined in these days of misery and humiliation. The Second Reich was founded in circumstances of such dazzling splendour that the whole nation had become entranced and exalted by it. Following an unparalleled series of victories, that Reich was handed over as the guerdoM
n of immortal heroism to the children and grandchildren of the heroes. Whether they were fully conscious of it or not, does not matter, the Germans felt that this Reich, which did not owe its existence to the machinations of parliamentary factions, was superior to the great majority of States by reason of the nobler circumstances that had accompanied its establishment. When its foundations were laid, the accompanying music was not the chatter of parliamentary debates, but the thunder and clash of war along the battM
le-front that encircled Paris. It was thus that an act of statesmanship was accomplished whereby the Germans, princes as well as people, established the future Reich and restored the symbol of the Imperial Crown.</p><blockquote><p>252</p></blockquote><p>Bismarck
s State was not founded on treason and assassination by deserters and shirkers, but by the regiments that had fought at, the front. This unique birth and baptism of fire sufficed of themselves to surround the Second Reich with an aureole of historical splM
endour such as few of the older States could claim. What a period of prosperity then began! A position of independence in regard to the outside world guaranteed the means of livelihood at home. The nation increased in numbers and in worldly wealth. The honour of the State and thereby the honour of the people as a whole were secured and protected by an Army which was the most striking proof of the difference between this new Reich and the old German Confederation. The downfall of the Second Reich and the German natiM
on has been so profound that everyone seems to have been dumbfounded and rendered incapable of feeling the significance of this downfall or reflecting on it. It seems as if people were utterly unable to picture in their minds the heights to which the Reich formerly attained, so visionary and unreal appears the greatness and splendour of those days in contrast to tie misery of the present. Bearing this in mind, we can understand why and how people become so dazed when they try to look back, to the sublime past that M
they forget to look for the symptoms of the great collapse which must certainly have been present in some form or other. Naturally this applies only to those for whom Germany was more than merely a place of abode and a source of livelihood. These are the only people who have been able to feel the present conditions as really catastrophic, whereas others have considered these conditions as the fulfilment of what they had looked forward to and hitherto silently wished. The symptoms of future collapse were definitely M
to be perceived in those earlier days, although very few made any attempt to deduce a practical lesson from their significance, but this is now a greater necessity than it ever was before, for just as bodily ailments can be cured only when their origin has been diagnosed, so also political disease can be treated only when it has been diagnosed.</p><blockquote><p>253</p></blockquote><p>It is obvious, of course, that the external symptoms of any disease can be more readily detected than its internal causes, for theseM
symptoms strike the eye more readily. This is also the reason why so many people recognise only external effects and mistake them for causes. Indeed, they will sometimes try to deny the existence of such causes, and that is why the majority of people among us recognise the German collapse only in the prevailing economic distress and the results that have followed therefrom. Almost everyone has to bear his share of this burden and that is why each one looks on the economic catastrophe as the cause of the present deM
plorable state of affairs. The broad masses of the people see little of the cultural, political, and moral background of this collapse. Many of them completely lack both the necessary feeling and the powers of understanding. That the masses of the people should thus estimate the causes of Germany
s downfall is quite understandable, but the fact that intelligent sections of the community regard the German collapse primarily as an economic catastrophe, and consequently think that a cure for it may be found in an ecM
onomic solution, seems to me to be the reason why hitherto no improvement has been brought about. No improvement can be brought about until it is understood that economics play only a secondary role, while the main part is played by political, moral, and racial factors. Only when this is understood will it be possible to comprehend the causes of the present evils and consequently to find the ways and means of remedying them. Therefore, the question of why Germany really collapsed is one of the most urgent significaM
nce, especially for a political movement which aims at overcoming this disaster. In scrutinising the past with a view to discovering the causes of the German break-up, it is necessary to be careful lest we may be unduly impressed by external results that readily strike the eye and thus ignore the less manifest causes of these results.</p><blockquote><p>254</p></blockquote><p>The most facile, and therefore the most generally accepted way of accounting for the present misfortune, is to say that it is the result of a M
lost war, and that this is the real cause of the present distress. Probably there are many who honestly believe in this absurd explanation, but there are many more in whose mouths it is a deliberate and conscious falsehood. This applies to all those who are now feeding at the government troughs, for the prophets of the Revolution again and again declared to the people that the result of the war would be immaterial to the great masses. On the contrary, they solemnly assured the public that it was high finance which M
was principally interested in a victorious outcome of this gigantic struggle between the nations, but that the German people and the German workers had no interest whatsoever therein. Indeed, the apostles of world conciliation habitually asserted that, far from any German downfall, the opposite was bound to take place
namely, the resurgence of the German people
had been crushed. Did not these self-same circles sing the praises of the Entente and did they not also lay the whole blame for thM
e sanguinary struggle on Germany? Would they have succeeded in doing so, had they not put forward the theory that a military defeat would have no political consequences for the German people? Was not the whole Revolution dressed up in the pretty phrase that, since it would check the victorious advance of the German banners, the German people would thus be assured of its liberty both at home and abroad? Is not that so, you miserable, lying rascals? That kind of impudence which is typical of the Jews was necessary inM
order to proclaim the defeat of the Army as the cause of the German collapse, indeed the Berlin Vorw
rts, that organ and mouthpiece of sedition, wrote on this occasion that the German nation should not be permitted to bring home its banners in triumph. Yet our collapse is attributed to the military defeat. Of course it would be out of the question to enter into an argument with these liars who deny one moment what they said the moment before. I should waste no further words on them were it not for the fact that tM
here are many thoughtless people who repeat all this parrot-fashion, without being necessarily inspired by any evil motives.</p><blockquote><p>255</p></blockquote><p>But the observations I am making here are also meant for our fighting followers, seeing that nowadays one
s spoken words are often forgotten and their meaning distorted. The assertion that the loss of the war was the cause of the German collapse can best be answered as follows: It is admittedly a fact that the loss of the war was of tragic importanceM
for the future of our country, but that loss was not in itself a cause. It was rather the consequence of other causes. That a disastrous ending to this life and death conflict must have involved catastrophes in its train was clearly seen by everyone of insight who could think in a straightforward manner, but unfortunately there were also people whose powers of understanding seemed to fail them at that critical moment. There were other people who had first questioned that truth and then altogether denied it, and thM
ere were people who, after their secret desire had been fulfilled, were suddenly faced with the state of affairs, that resulted from their own collaboration. Such people are responsible for the collapse, and not the lost war, though they now want to attribute everything to this. As a matter of fact, the loss of the war was a result of their activities and not the result of bad leadership, as they would now like to maintain. Our enemies were not cowards. They also knew how to die. From the very first day of the war M
they outnumbered the German Army, and the arsenals and armament factories of the whole world were at their disposal for the replenishment of military equipment. Indeed, it is universally admitted that the German victories, which had been steadily won during four years of warfare against the whole world, were (apart, of course, from the heroism of the troops, and the magnificent organisation) solely due to the German military leadership. That organisation and leadership of the German Army was the most mighty thing tM
hat the world has ever seen. Any shortcomings which became evident were humanly unavoidable. The collapse of that Army was not the cause of our present distress. It was itself the consequence of ether faults, but this consequence in its turn ushered in a further collapse, which was more obvious.</p><blockquote><p>256</p></blockquote><p>That such was actually the case can be shown as follows: Must a military defeat necessarily lead to such a complete overthrow of the State and the nation? Whenever has this been the M
result of an unfortunate, lost war? Are nations in fact ever ruined by a lost war and by that alone? The answer to this question can be briefly stated by referring to the fact that military defeats are the result of internal decay, cowardice, want of character, and are a retribution for such things. If such were not the case, then a military defeat would lead to a national resurgence and bring the nation to a higher pitch of effort. A military defeat is not the tombstone of national life. History affords innumerablM
e examples to confirm the truth of that statement. Unfortunately, Germany
s military overthrow was not an undeserved catastrophe, but a well-merited punishment which was in the nature of an eternal retribution. This defeat was more than deserved by us, for it represented the greatest external phenomenon of decomposition among a series of internal phenomena, which, although they were visible, were not recognised by the majority of the people, who follow the tactics of the ostrich and see only what they want to seeM
. Let us examine the symptoms that were evident in Germany at the time that the German people accepted this defeat. Is it not true that in several circles the misfortunes of the Fatherland were even joyfully welcomed in the most shameful manner? Who could act in such a way without thereby meriting vengeance for his attitude? Were there not people who went even further and boasted that they had gone to the extent of weakening the front and causing a collapse? Therefore, it was not the enemy who brought this disgraceM
upon us, but rather our own countrymen. If they suffered misfortune for it afterwards, was that misfortune undeserved?</p><blockquote><p>257</p></blockquote><p>Was there ever a case in history where a people declared itself guilty of a war, and that even against its conscience and its better judgment? No, and again no. In the manner in which the German nation reacted to its defeat we can see that the real cause of our collapse must be looked for elsewhere and not in the purely military loss of a few positions or tM
he failure of an offensive, for if the front as such had given way and thus brought about a national disaster, then the German nation would have accepted the defeat in quite another spirit. It would have borne the subsequent misfortune with clenched teeth, or it would have been overwhelmed by sorrow. Regret and fury against an enemy into whose hands victory had been given by a chance event or the decree of Fate would have filled the hearts of the people, and in that case the nation, following the example of the RomM
an Senate, would have faced the defeated legions on their return and expressed their thanks for the sacrifices that had been made and would have urged them not to lose faith in the Reich. Even the capitulation would have been signed under the sway of calm reason, while the heart would have beaten in the hope of the coming revanche. That is the reception that would have been given to a military defeat which had to be attributed only to the adverse decree of Fortune. There would have been neither joy-making nor danciM
ng. Cowardice would not have been boasted of, and the defeat would not have been honoured. On returning from the front, the troops would not have been mocked at, and the colours would not have been dragged in the dust, but above all, that disgraceful state of affairs, could never have arisen which induced a British officer, Colonel Repington, to declare with scorn,
Every third German is a traitor.
No, in such a case this plague would never have assumed the proportions of a veritable flood, which, for the pastM
five years, has smothered every vestige of respect for the German nation in the outside world. This shows only too clearly how false it is to say that the loss of the war was the cause of the German break-up. The military defeat was in itself but the consequence of a whole series of morbid symptoms and their causes which had become active in, the German nation before the war broke out.</p><blockquote><p>258</p></blockquote><p>The collapse was the first catastrophic consequence, visible to all, of how traditions anM
d national morale had been poisoned and how the instinct of self-preservation had degenerated. These were the preliminary causes which, for many years, had been undermining the foundations of the nation and the Reich. It remained for the Jews, with their unqualified capacity for falsehood, and their fighting comrades, the Marxists, to impute responsibility for the downfall precisely to the man who alone had shown superhuman will-power and energy in his, effort to prevent the catastrophe which he had foreseen and toM
save the nation from that hour of complete overthrow and shame. By placing responsibility for the loss of the World War on the shoulders of Ludendorff, they took away the weapon of moral right from the only adversary dangerous enough to be likely to succeed in bringing the betrayers of the Fatherland to justice. All this was inspired by the principle which is quite true in itself
that in the big lie there is always a certain force of credibility; because the broad masses of a nation are always more easily corrupM
tible in the deeper strata of their emotional nature than consciously or voluntarily had, and thus in the primitive simplicity of their minds they are readily fall victims to the big lie than to the small lie, since they themselves often tell small lies in little matters, but would be ashamed to resort to large-scale falsehood. It would never come into their heads to fabricate colossal untruths, and they would not believe that others could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously. Even though the factsM
which prove this to be so are put clearly before them, they will still doubt and waver and will continue to think that there may be some other explanation, for the grossly impudent lie always leaves traces behind it, even after it has been nailed down
a fact which all expert liars in this world and all who conspire together in the art of lying know only too well and exploit in the basest manner. From time immemorial, however, the Jews have known better than any others how falsehood and calumny can be exploited. M
Is not their very existence founded on one great lie, namely, that they are a religious community, whereas in reality they are a race?</p><blockquote><p>259</p></blockquote><p>And what a race! One of the greatest thinkers that mankind has produced has branded the Jews for all time with a statement which is profoundly and exactly true. He called the Jew
the great master of lies.
Those who do not realise the truth of that statement, or do not wish to believe it, will never be able to lend a hand in helping trutM
h to prevail. We may regard it as a great stroke of fortune for the German nation that its period of lingering suffering was so suddenly curtailed and transformed into such a terrible catastrophe, for if things had gone on as they were, the nation would, more slowly but more surely, have been ruined. The disease would have become chronic; whereas, in the acute form of the disaster, it at least showed itself clearly to the eyes of a considerable number of observers. It was not by accident that man conquered the blacM
k plague more easily than he has conquered tuberculosis. The first appeared in terrifying waves of death that shook the whole of mankind, the other advances insidiously; the first induced terror, the other gradual indifference. The result is, however, that men opposed the first with all the energy of which they were capable, whilst they try to arrest tuberculosis by feeble means. Thus man has mastered the black plague, while tuberculosis still gets the better of him. The same applies to diseases in nations. As longM
as these diseases are not of a catastrophic character, the population will slowly accustom itself to them and later succumb. It is then a stroke of luck
although a bitter one
when Fate decides to interfere in this slow process of decay and suddenly brings the victim face to face with the final stage of the disease. More often than not the result of a catastrophe is that a cure is at once undertaken and carried through with rigid determination, but even in such a case, the essential preliminary condition is alwM
ays the recognition of the internal causes which have given rise to the disease in question. The important question here is the differentiation of the root causes from the circumstances developing out of them. This becomes all the more difficult the longer the germs of disease remain in the national body and the longer they are allowed to become an integral part of that body.</p><blockquote><p>260</p></blockquote><p>It may easily happen that, as time goes on, it will become so difficult to recognise certain definitM
e virulent poisons as such that they are accepted as belonging to the national being, or they are merely tolerated as a necessary evil, so that drastic attempts to locate those alien germs are not held to be necessary. During the long period of peace prior to the last war, certain evils were apparent here and there although, with one or two exception, very little effort was made to discover their origin. Here again, these exceptions were primarily those phenomena in the economic life of the nation which were more aM
pparent to the individual rather than the evil conditions existing in a good many other spheres. There were many signs of decay which ought to have been given serious thought. As far as economics were concerned, it may be said that the amazing increase of population in Germany before the war brought the question of providing daily bread into a more and more prominent position in all spheres of political and economic thought and action. Unfortunately, those responsible could not make up their minds to arrive at the M
only correct solution and preferred to reach their objective by cheaper methods. Repudiation of the idea of acquiring fresh territory and the substitution for it of the mad desire for the commercial conquest of the world was bound to lead eventually to unlimited and injurious industrialisation. The first and most fatal result brought about in this way was the weakening of the agricultural classes, whose decline was proportionate to the increase in the proletariat of the urban areas, until finally the equilibrium waM
s completely upset. The big barrier dividing rich and poor now became apparent. Luxury and poverty lived so close to each other that the consequences were bound to be deplorable. Want and frequent unemployment began to play havoc with the people and left discontent and embitterment behind them. The result of this was to divide the population into political classes. Discontent increased in spite of commercial prosperity. Matters finally reached that stage which brought about the general conviction that
not go on as they are,
although no one seemed able to visualise what was really going to happen.</p><blockquote><p>261</p></blockquote><p>These were typical and visible signs of the depths which the prevailing discontent had reached. Far worse than these, however, were other consequences which became apparent as a result of the industrialisation of the nation. In proportion to the extent that commerce assumed definite control of the State, money became more and more of a god whom all had to serve and before whomM
all had to bow. Heavenly deities became more and more old-fashioned and were laid away in the corners to make room for the worship of Mammon. Thus began a period of utter degeneration which became especially pernicious because it set in at a time when the nation was more than ever in need of an exalted ideal, for a critical hour was threatening. Germany should have been prepared to protect with the sword her efforts to win her own daily bread in a peaceful way. Unfortunately, the predominance of money received supM
port and sanction in the very quarter which ought to have been opposed to it. His Majesty, the Kaiser, made a mistake when he raised representatives of the new financial world to the ranks of the nobility. Admittedly, it may be offered as an excuse that even Bismarck failed to realise the threatening danger in this respect. In practice, however, all ideal virtues became secondary considerations to those of money, for it was clear that having once taken this road, the real old aristocracy would very soon rank secondM
to the ennobled financiers. Financial operations succeed more easily than war operations. Hence it was no longer any great attraction for a true hero or even a statesman to be brought into touch with some Jewish banker. Real merit was not interested in receiving cheap decorations and therefore declined them with thanks. But from the standpoint of good breeding such a development was deeply regrettable. The aristocracy began to lose more and more those racial qualities that were a condition of its very existence, wM
ith the result that, in many cases, the term
would have been more appropriate.</p><blockquote><p>262</p></blockquote><p>A serious state of economic disruption was being brought about by the slow elimination of the personal control of vested interests and the gradual transference of the whole economic structure into the hands of joint-stock companies. In this way labour became degraded into an object of speculation in the hands of unscrupulous exploiters. The de-personalisation of property ownership iM
ncreased on a vast scale. Financial exchange circles began to triumph and made slow but sure progress in assuming control of the whole of national life. Before the war, the internationalisation of the German economic structure had already begun by the roundabout way of share issues. It is true that a section of the German industrialists made determined attempts to avert the danger, but in the end they gave way before the united attacks of money-grabbing capitalism, which was assisted in this fight by its faithful hM
enchman, the Marxist movement. The persistent war against German
was the visible start of the internationalisation of German economic life as envisaged by the Marxists. This, however, could only be brought to a successful conclusion by the victory which Marxism was able to gain in the Revolution. As I write these words, success is attending the general attack on the German State Railways which are now to be turned over to international capitalists. Thus
International Social Democracy
s once again attained one of its main objectives. The best evidence of how far this
of the German nation was able to progress, can be seen plainly in the fact that when the war was over, one of the leading captains of German industry and commerce gave it as his opinion that commerce as such was the only force which could put Germany on her feet again. This sort of nonsense was uttered just at the time when France was re-establishing public education on a humanitarian basis, thus doing away wM
ith the idea that national life was dependent on commerce rather than on ideal values. The statement which Stinnes broadcast to the world at that time caused incredible confusion.</p><blockquote><p>263</p></blockquote><p>It was immediately taken up and has become the leading motto of all those humbugs and babblers
whom Fate let loose on Germany after the Revolution. One of the worst evidences of decadence in Germany before the war was the ever-increasing habit of doing things by halves. This wM
as one of the consequences of the insecurity that was felt all round, and it is to be attributed also to a certain timidity which resulted from one cause or another. The latter malady was aggravated by the educational system. German education in pre-war times had an extraordinary number of weak features. It was simply and exclusively limited to the production of pure knowledge and paid little attention to the development of practical ability. Still less attention was given to the development of individual characterM
, in so far as this is ever possible, and hardly any attention at all was paid to the development of a sense of responsibility, to strengthening the will and the power of decision. The result of this method was not to turn out stalwart men, but rather docile creatures crammed with knowledge and to produce erudite people who had a passion for knowing everything. Before the war, we Germans were accepted and estimated accordingly. The German was liked because good use could be made of him; but there was little esteem M
for him personally, on account of his weakness of character. For those who can read its significance aright, there is much instruction in the fact that among all nationalities Germans were the first to part with their national citizenship when they found themselves in a foreign country, and there is a world of meaning in the saying that was then prevalent, that in hand one can go through the whole country. This kind of social etiquette turned out disastrous when it prescribed the exclusive forms that had to be obseM
rved in the presence of His Majesty. These forms insisted that there should be no contract fiction whatsoever, but that everything should be praised which His Majesty condescended to like. It was just here that the frank expression of manly dignity, and not subservience, was most needed because the monarchy as an institution was bound to fall as a result of this subservience, for such it was. Servility in the presence of monarchs may be good enough for the professional lackey and place-hunter, in fact for all thoseM
decadent beings who feel more at their ease in close proximity to the throne than do honest citizens.</p><blockquote><p>264</p></blockquote><p>These exceedingly
creatures, however, though the grovel before their lord and bread-giver, invariably put on airs of boundless superciliousness towards other mortals, which was particularly impudent when they posed as the only people who had the right to be called
This was a gross piece of impertinence of which only despicable specimens amongM
the newly-ennobled or yet-to-be-ennobled were capable. These have always been just the people who have prepared the way for the downfall of the monarchy and the monarchical principle. It could not be otherwise, for when a man is prepared to stand up for a cause, come what may, he never grovels before its representative. A man who is serious about the maintenance and welfare of an institution will cling to it with might and main and will not be able to .get over it, should that institution show certain faults and fM
ailings, and he will certainly not run around telling the world about it, as certain false democratic
of the monarchy have done; but he will approach His Majesty, the wearer of the crown himself, to warn him of the seriousness of the situation and persuade the monarch to act. Furthermore, he will not take up the standpoint that it must be left to His Majesty to act as the latter thinks fit, even though the course which he would take must plainly lead to disaster. The man I am thinking of will deem it M
his duty to protect the monarchy against the monarch himself, no matter what personal risk he may run in so doing. If the worth of the monarchical institution were dependent on the, person of the monarch himself, then it would be the worst institution imaginable; for only in rare cases are kings found to be models of wisdom, understanding and integrity of character, though we might like to think otherwise. This fact is unpalatable to the professional knaves and lackeys, but all upright men, and they are the backbonM
e of the nation, repudiate the nonsensical fiction that all monarchs are wise, etc. For such men history is history and truth is truth, even where monarchs are concerned. It is so seldom that a nation has the good luck to possess a great king who is at the same time a great man, that it ought to consider itself fortunate if malignant Fate has not reserved for it a still more terrible lot.</p><blockquote><p>265</p></blockquote><p>It is clear that the worth and significance of the monarchical principle cannot rest inM
the person of the monarch alone, unless Heaven decrees that the crown should be set on the head of a brilliant hero like Frederick the Great, or a sagacious man like Wilhelm I. This may happen once in several centuries, but hardly oftener than that. The ideal of the monarchy takes precedence over the person of the monarch, inasmuch as the meaning of the institution must lie in the institution itself. Thus, the monarch may be reckoned in the category of those whose duty it is to serve. He, too, is but a wheel in thM
e machine and as such he is obliged to do his duty towards it. He has to adapt himself for the fulfilment of high aims and your true
is not he who allows the wearer of the crown to commit crimes in its name, but he who prevents this. If, therefore, there were no significance attached to the idea itself and everything merely centred around the
person, then it would never be possible to depose a ruler who has shown himself to be an imbecile. It is essential to resist upon this truth at tM
he present time, because recently those phenomena which were in no small measure responsible for the collapse of the monarchy have appeared again. With a certain amount of naive impudence these persons once again talk about
that is to say the man whom they shamefully deserted a few years ago, at a most critical, hour. Those who refrain from participating in this chorus of lies are summarily classified as
They who make the charge are the same class of quitters who, in 1918, tookM
to their heels at the very sight of a red armlet, left their Kaiser in the lurch, hastily changed their rifles for walking-sticks, took to wearing neutralcoloured ties, and disappeared from the limelight camouflaged as peace-loving citizens. All of a sudden these champions of royalty were nowhere to be found at that time. Circumspectly, one by one, these
servants and counsellors
of the Crown reappeared to resume their lip-service to royalty, but only after others had borne the brunt of the anti-royalist attaM
ck and suppressed the Revolution for them.</p><blockquote><p>266</p></blockquote><p>Once again they are all there, wistfully eyeing the flesh-pots of Egypt and almost bursting with devotion for the royal cause. This will go on until the day comes when red badges are again in the ascendant. Then this whole ramshackle troupe of hangers-on of the old monarchy will scuttle off anew like mice from the cats. If monarchs were not themselves responsible for such things, one could not help sympathising with them, but they mM
ust realise: that with such champions, thrones may be lost, but never gained. All this devotion was a mistake and was the result of our whole system of education, which in this case brought about a particularly severe retribution. Such lamentable trumpery was kept up at the various courts, that the monarchy was slowly becoming undermined. When the whole structure finally did begin to totter, they vanished from mortal ken. Naturally, grovellers and lick-spittles are never willing to die for their masters. That monarM
chs never realise this, and seldom really take the trouble to learn it, has always been their undoing. One visible result of a wrong educational system was the fear of shouldering responsibility and the resultant weakness in dealing with obvious, vital problems of existence. The starting-point of this epidemic was, however, in our parliamentary institution where the shirking of responsibility was particularly fostered. Unfortunately, the disease slowly spread to all branches of everyday life and particularly affectM
ed the sphere of public affairs. Responsibility was being shirked everywhere and this led to insufficient or half-hearted measures being taken, personal responsibility for each action being reduced to a minimum. If we consider the attitude of various governments towards a whole series of really pernicious phenomena in public life, we shall at once recognise the fearful significance of this policy of half-measures and the lack of courage to assume responsibility. I shall single out only a few from the large number oM
f instances known to me.</p><blockquote><p>267</p></blockquote><p>In journalistic circles it is a pleasing custom to speak of the press as a
within the State. As a matter of fact its importance is immense. One cannot easily over-estimate it, for the press continues the work of education even in adult life. Generally speaking, readers of the press can be classified in three groups: First, those who believe everything they read; second, those who no longer believe anything; third, those who criticalM
ly examine what they read and form their judgments accordingly. Numerically, the first group is by far the largest, being composed of the broad masses of the people. Intellectually, it forms the simplest portion of the nation. It cannot be classified according to occupation, but only into grades of intelligence. Under this category come all those who have not been born to think for themselves or who have not learnt to do so and who, partly through incompetence end partly through ignorance, believe everything that iM
s set before them in print. To these we must add that type of lazy individual who, although capable of thinking for himself, out of sheer laziness gratefully absorbs everything that otters have thought out, modestly believing this to have been thoroughly done. The influence which the press has on all these people who constitute the broad masses of a nation, is therefore enormous. But somehow they are not in a position, or are not willing, personally to sift what is being served up to them, so that their whole attitM
ude towards daily problems is almost solely the result of extraneous influence. All this can be advantageous where public enlightenment is of a serious and truthful character, but great harm is done when scoundrels and liars take a hand at this work. The second group is numerically smaller, being partly composed of those who were formerly in the first group and after a series of bitter disappointments are now prepared to believe nothing of what they see in print. They hate all newspapers.</p><blockquote><p>268</p><M
/blockquote><p>Either they do not read them at all or they become exceptionally annoyed at their contents, which they hold to be nothing but a conglomery of lies and mis-statements. These people are difficult to handle, for they will always be sceptical of the truth. Consequently, they are useless for any form of positive work. The third group is easily the smallest, being composed of real intellectuals whom natural aptitude and education have taught to think for themselves and who in all things try to form their oM
wn judgments, while at the same time carefully sifting what they read. They will not read any newspaper without using their own intelligence to collaborate with that of the writer, and naturally this does not set writers an easy task. Journalists appreciate this type of reader only with a certain amount of reservation. Hence the trash that newspapers are capable of serving up is of little danger
much less of importance to the members of this third group of readers. In the majority of cases these readers have learM
nt to regard every journalist as fundamentally a rogue who sometimes speaks the truth. Most unfortunately, the value of these readers lies in their intelligence, and not in their numerical strength an unhappy state of affairs in a period where wisdom counts for nothing and majorities for everything. Nowadays, when the voting papers of the masses are the deciding factor, the decision lies in the hands of the numerically strongest group; that is to say the first group, the crowd of simpletons and the credulous. It isM
an all-important interest of the State and a national duty to prevent these people from falling into the hands of false, ignorant or even evil-minded teachers. Therefore it is the duty of the State to supervise their education and prevent every form of offence in this respect. Particular attention should be paid to the press; for its influence on these people is by far the strongest and most penetrating of all, since its effect is not transitory but continual. Its immense significance lies in the uniform and persiM
stent repetition of its teaching. Here, if anywhere, the State should never forget that all means should converge towards the same end.</p><blockquote><p>269</p></blockquote><p>It must not be led astray by the will-o
-the-wisp of so-called
freedom of the press,
or be talked into neglecting its duty, and withholding from the nation that which is good and which does good. With ruthless determination the State must keep control of this instrument of popular education and place it at the service of the State anM
d the nation. But what sort of pabulum was it that the German press served up for the consumption of its readers in pre-war days? Was it not the most virulent poison imaginable? Was not pacifism in its worst form inoculated into our people at a time when others were preparing slowly but surely to pounce upon Germany? Did not this self-same press of ours instil into the public mind even in peace-time a doubt as to the sovereign rights of the State itself, thereby already handicapping the State in choosing its means M
of defence? Was it not the German press that understood how to make all the nonsensical talk about
palatable to our people, until an exuberant public was eventually prepared to entrust its future to the League of Nations? Was not this press instrumental in bringing about a state of moral degradation among our people? Were not morals and public decency made to look ridiculous and classed as out-of-date and banal, until finally our people also became
? By means of persistent attackM
s, did not the press keep on undermining the authority of the State, until one blow sufficed to bring this institution tottering to the ground? Did not the press oppose with all its might every move to give the State that which belongs to the State, and be means of constant criticism injure the reputation of the Army, sabotage general conscription and demand refusal of military credits, etc.
until the success of this campaign was assured? The function of the so-called liberal press was to dig the grave for the GeM
rman people and Reich. No mention need be made of the lying Marxist press. To it the spreading of falsehood is as much a vital necessity as hunting is to a cat. Its sole task is to break the national backbone of the people, thus preparing the nation to become the slaves of international finance and its masters, the Jews. What measures did the State take to counteract this wholesale poisoning of the public mind?</p><blockquote><p>270</p></blockquote><p>Absolutely none. The passing of a few paltry decrees, punishmentM
meted out in a few cases of flagrant infamy, and there the matter ended. By this policy it was hoped to win the favour of this pest by means of flattery, by a recognition of the
and similar nonsense. The Jews acknowledged all this with a knowing smile and returned thanks. The reason for this ignominious failure on the part of the State lay not so much in its refusal to realise the danger as in the out-and-out cowardly way of meeting the sitM
uation by the adoption of faulty and ineffective measures. No one had the courage to employ any energetic and radical methods. Everyone temporised in some way or other and instead of striking at its heart, only irritated the viper the more. The result was that not only did everything remain as it was, but the power of this institution, which should have been combated, grew greater from year to year. The defence put up by the government in those days against a mainly Jew-controlled press that was slowly corrupting tM
he nation, followed no definite line of action, it had no determination
behind it and above all, no fixed objective
whatsoever in view. This is where official understanding of the situation completely failed, not only in estimating the importance of the struggle, but in choosing the means and deciding on a definite plan. They merely tinkered with the problem. Occasionally when bitten, they imprisoned one or another journalistic viper for a few weeks or months, but the whole poisonous brood was allowed to carrM
y on in peace. It must be admitted that all this was partly the result of extraordinarily crafty tactics on the part of Jewry on the one hand, and obvious, official stupidity or naivety, on the other. The Jews were too clever to allow a simultaneous attack to be made on the whole of their press. One section functioned as cover for the other. While the Marxist newspaper, in the most despicable manner possible, reviled everything that was sacred, furiously attacked the State and government and incited certain classesM
of the community against each other, bourgeois-democratic papers, also in Jewish hands, succeeded in camouflaging themselves as model examples of objectivity.</p><blockquote><p>271</p></blockquote><p>They studiously avoided harsh language, knowing well that blockheads are capable of judging only by external appearances and are never able to penetrate to the real depth and meaning of anything. They measure the worth of an object by its exterior and not by its contents. This form of human frailty was carefully studiM
ed and understood by the press. By this class of blockheads, the<i>Frankfurter Zeitung</i>would be acknowledged as the essence of respectability. It always carefully avoided calling a spade a spade. It deprecated the use of every form of physical force and persistently appealed to the nobility of fighting with
weapons. This method of fighting was, curiously enough, most popular with the least intellectual classes. That is one of the results of our defective education, which deprives young people M
of their natural instincts, pumps into them a certain amount of knowledge without, however, being able to give them real insight, since this requires not only diligence and goodwill, but innate understanding. This final insight at which man must aim is the understanding of causes which an instinctive and fundamental. Let me explain: Man must not fall into the error of thinking that he was ever meant to become lord and master of Nature. A lopsided education has helped to encourage that illusion. Man must realise thaM
t a fundamental law of necessity reigns throughout the whole realm of Nature and that his existence is subject to the law of eternal struggle and strife. He will then feel that there cannot be a separate law for mankind in a universe in which planets and suns follow their orbits, where moons and planets trace their destined paths, where the strong are always the masters of the weak and where the latter must obey or be destroyed. Man must also submit to the eternal principles of this supreme wisdom. He may try to unM
derstand them but he can never free himself from their sway. It is just for our intellectual demi-monde that the Jew writes those papers which he calls his
press.</p><blockquote><p>272</p></blockquote><p>For them the<i>Frankfurter Zeitung</i>and<i>Berliner Tageblatt</i>are written, the tone being adapted to them, and it is over these people that such papers have an influence. While studiously avoiding all forms of expression that might strike the reader as crude, the poison is injected from otherM
vials into the hearts of the clientele. The effervescent tone and the fine phraseology lull the reader into believing that a love for knowledge and more it principle is the sole driving force that determines the policy of such papers, whereas in reality these features represent a sunning way of disarming any opposition that might be directed against the press. Some make a parade of respectability and the imbecile public is all the more ready to believe them since the others indulge only in moderate ravings which nM
ever amount to abuse of the
freedom of the press
(as this system of feeding the public on lies and poisoning the public mind is called). Hence, the authorities are very slow indeed to take any steps against these journalistic bandits for fear of immediately alienating the sympathy of the so-called respectable press fear that is only too well founded, for the moment any attempt is made to proceed against any member of the gutter press all the others rush to its assistance at once, not indeed to support its polM
icy, but simply and solely to defend the principles of freedom of the press and liberty of public opinion. This outcry will succeed in intimidating the most stalwart, for it comes from the mouth of what is called decent journalism. In this way the, poison was allowed to enter the national bloodstream and infect public life, without the government taking any effectual measures to master the course of the disease. The ridiculous half-measures that were taken were in themselves an indication of the process of disintegM
ration that was already threatening to break up the Reich, for an institution practically surrenders its existence when it is no Longer determined to defend itself with all the weapons at its command. Every half-measure is the outward expression of an internal process of decay which must lead to an external collapse sooner or later.</p><blockquote><p>273</p></blockquote><p>I believe that our present generation would easily master this danger, if it were led aright, for it has gone through certain experiences which M
must have strengthened the nerves of all those who were not broken by them. Certainly in days to come the Jews will raise a tremendous cry in their newspapers once a hand is laid on their favourite nest, once a move is made to put an end to this scandalous press and once this instrument which moulds public opinion is brought under State control and no longer left in the hands of aliens and enemies of the people. I am certain that this will be easier for us than it was for our fathers. The scream of the twelve-inch M
shell is more penetrating than the hiss of a thousand Jewish newspaper vipers. Therefore, let them go on with their hissing. A further example of the weak and hesitating way in which vital national problems were dealt with in pre-war Germany is the following. Hand-in-hand with the political and moral process of infecting the nation, an equally virulent process of infection had for many years been attacking the health of the nation. In large cities particularly, syphilis steadily increased and tuberculosis kept paceM
with it in reaping its harvest of death in almost every part of the country. Although in both cases the effect on the nation was alarming, it seemed as if nobody were in a position to undertake any decisive measures against these scourges. In the case of syphilis especially, the attitude of the State and the public authorities was one of absolute capitulation. To combat this state of affairs measures more sweeping than those actually adopted should have been enforced. The discovery of a remedy which was of a questM
ionable nature and the excellent way in which it was placed on the market were of little assistance ill fighting such a scourge. Here again the only course to adopt is to attack the causes rather than the symptoms of the disease, but in this case, the primary cause is to be found in the manner in which love has been prostituted. Even though this did not directly bring about the fearful disease itself, the nation must still suffer serious damage thereby, for the moral havoc resulting from this prostitution would be M
sufficient to bring about the destruction of, the nation, slowly but surely.</p><blockquote><p>274</p></blockquote><p>This Judaising of our spiritual life and mammonising of our natural instinct for procreation will sooner or later work havoc with our whole posterity. Instead of strong, healthy children, the product of natural feelings, we shall see miserable specimens of humanity resulting from economic calculation, for economic considerations are becoming more and more the foundation and the sole preliminary condM
ition of marriage while love looks for an outlet elsewhere. Here as elsewhere, one may defy Nature for a certain period of time, but sooner or later she will take her inevitable revenge, and when man realises this truth, it is often too late. Our own nobility furnishes an example of the devastating consequences that result from a persistent refusal to recognise the primary conditions necessary for normal wedlock. Here we are face to face with the results of procreation which is, on the one hand, determined by sociaM
l pressure and, on the other, by financial considerations. The one leads to inherited debility, and the other to adulteration of the blood-strain; for all the Jewish daughters of the department store proprietors are looked upon as eligible mates to co-operate in propagating his lordship
s stock, and the stock certainly looks it. All this leads to absolute degeneration. Nowadays our bourgeoisie is making efforts to follow in the same path. Theirs will be a similar fate. These unpleasant truths are hastily and noncM
halantly brushed aside, as if by so doing the real state of affairs could also be abolished, but it cannot be denied that the population of our great towns and cities is tending more and more to avail itself of prostitution in the exercise of its amorous instincts and is thus becoming more and more contaminated by the scourge of venereal disease. On the one hand, the visible effects of this mass-infection can be observed in our lunatic asylums and, on the other hand, alas! among the children. These are the doleful M
and tragic products of the steadily increasing scourge that is poisoning our sexual life. Their sufferings are the visible results of parental vice.</p><blockquote><p>275</p></blockquote><p>There are many ways of becoming resigned to this unpleasant and terrible fact. Many people go about seeing nothing or, to be more correct, not wanting to see anything. This is by far the simplest and cheapest attitude to adopt. Others cover themselves in the sacred mantle of prudery, as ridiculous as it is false. They describe tM
he whole condition of affairs as sinful and are profoundly indignant when brought face to face with a victim. They close their eyes to this godless scourge in pious horror and pray to the Almighty that He
if possible after their own death
may rain down fire and brimstone as on Sodom and Gomorrah and so once again make a lasting example of this shameless section of humanity. Finally, there are those who are well aware of the terrible results which this scourge will inevitably bring about, but they merely shrug tM
heir shoulders, fully convinced of their inability to undertake anything against this peril. Hence, matters are allowed to take their course. Undoubtedly all this is very convenient and simple, only the fact must not be overlooked that this convenient way of approaching things can leave fatal consequences for our national life. The excuse that other nations are not faring any better does not alter the fact of our own deterioration, except that the feeling of sympathy for other stricken nations makes our own sufferiM
ng easier to bear. But the important question that arises here is, Which nations will be the first to take the initiative in mastering this scourge, and which nations will succumb to it? This will be the final upshot of the whole situation. This will be an acid test of racial value. The race that fails to come through the test will simply die out and its place will be taken by the healthier ant stronger races, which will be able to endure greater hardships. As this problem primarily concerns posterity, it belongs tM
o that category of which it is said with terrible justification that the sins of the fathers are visited on their offspring unto the tenth generation. This is a consequence which follows on an infringement of the laws of blood and race. The sin against blood and race is the hereditary sin in this world and it brings disaster on every nation that commits it.</p><blockquote><p>276</p></blockquote><p>The attitude towards this one vital problem in pre-war Germany was most regrettable. What measures were adopted to arreM
st the infection of our youth in the large cities? What was done to put an end to the contamination and mammonisation of sexual life among us? What was done to fight the resultant spreading of syphilis throughout the whole of our people? The reply to this question can best be illustrated by showing what should have been done. Instead of tackling this problem in a haphazard way, the authorities should leave realised that the happiness or unhappiness of future generations depended on its solution and indeed that the M
s entire future may, perhaps needs must, depend thereon. To have admitted this would have demanded that active measures be carried out in a ruthless manner. The primary condition would have been that the enlightened attention of the whole country should be concentrated on this terrible danger, so that every individual would realise the importance of fighting against it. It would be futile to impose obligations of a definite character which are often difficult to bear and expect them to become generally effM
ective, unless the public were thoroughly instructed in the necessity of imposing and accepting such obligations. This demands a widespread and systematic method of enlightenment, and all other daily problems that might distract public attention from this great central problem should be relegated to the background. In every case where there are exigencies or tasks that seem impossible to deal with successfully, public opinion must be concentrated on the one problem, under the conviction that the solution of this prM
oblem alone is a matter of life or death. Only in this way can public interest be aroused to such a pitch as will urge people to combine in a great voluntary effort and achieve important results. This fundamental truth applies also to the individual, provided he is desirous of attaining some great end. He must always concentrate his efforts on one definitely limited stage of his progress which has to be completed before the next step be attempted.</p><blockquote><p>277</p></blockquote><p>Those who do not endeavour M
to realise their aims step by step, and who do not concentrate their energy on reaching the individual stages, will never attain the final objective. At some stage or other they will falter and fail. This systematic way of approaching an objective is an art in itself and always calls for the expenditure of every ounce of energy in order to conquer step after step of the road. Therefore, the most essential preliminary condition necessary for an attack on such a difficult stage of the human road is that the authoritiM
es should succeed in convincing the masses that the immediate objective which is now being fought for is the only one that deserves to be considered and the only one on which everything depends. The broad masses are never able to see clearly the whole stretch of the road lying in front of them, without becoming tired and thus losing faith in their ability to complete the task. To a certain extent they will keep the objective in mind, but they are only able to survey the whole road in small stages, as in the case ofM
the traveller who knows where his journey is going to end, but who masters the endless stretch far better by attacking it in stages. Only in this way can he keep up his determination and reach the final objective. It is in this way, with the assistance of every form of propaganda, that the problem of fighting venereal disease should be placed before the public
not as a task for the nation but as the main task. Every possible means should be employed to bring the truth about this scourge home to the minds of the M
people, until the whole nation has been convinced that everything depends on the solution of this problem: that is to say, a healthy future or national decay. Only after such preparatory measures have been taken
if necessary, spread over a period of many years
will public attention and public resolution be fully aroused, and only then can serious and definite measures be undertaken without the risk of these not being fully understood or of the authorities being suddenly faced with a slackening of the public wilM
l.</p><blockquote><p>278</p></blockquote><p>It must be made clear to all that a serious fight against this scourge calls for vast sacrifices and an enormous amount of work. To wage war against syphilis means fighting against prostitution, against prejudice, against old-established customs, against current fashion, public opinion, and, last but not least, again false prudery in certain circles. The first preliminary condition to be fulfilled, before the State can claim a moral right to fight against all these thingsM
, is that the young generation should be afforded facilities for contracting early marriages. Late marriages have the sanction of a custom which, from whatever angle we view it, is, and will remain, a disgrace to humanity, an institution which ill befits a creature who is wont to regard himself as having been fashioned in God
s image. Prostitution is a disgrace to humanity and cannot be removed simply by academic or charitable methods. Its restriction and final extermination presupposes the removal of a whole serM
ies of contributory circumstances. The first remedy must always be to establish such conditions as will make early marriages possible, especially for young men
for women are, after all, only the passive factor. An illustration of the extent to which people nowadays are labouring under a delusion, is afforded by the fact that not infrequently one hears mothers in so-called
circles openly expressing their satisfaction at having found as a husband for their daughter, a man who has already sown his wild M
oats, etc. As there is usually so little shortage of men of this type, the poor girl finds no difficulty in getting a mate of this description, and the children of this marriage are a visible result of such supposedly sensible unions. When one realises, apart from this, that every possible effort is being made to hinder the process of procreation and that Nature is being wilfully cheated of her rights, there remains really only one question: Why is such an institution as marriage still in existence, and what are itM
s functions? Is it really nothing better than prostitution? Does our duty to posterity no longer play any part? Or do people not realise the nature of the curse they are inflicting on themselves and their offspring by such criminally foolish neglect of one of the primary laws of Nature?</p><blockquote><p>279</p></blockquote><p>This is how civilised nations degenerate and gradually perish. Marriage is not an end in itself but must serve the greater end, which is that of increasing and maintaining the human species aM
nd the race. This is its only meaning and purpose. This being admitted, then it is clear that the institution of marriage must be judged by the manner in which its allotted function is fulfilled. Therefore, early marriages should be the rule, because thus the young couple will still have that pristine force which is the fountainhead of a healthy posterity with unimpaired powers of resistance. Of course early marriages cannot be made the rule unless a whole series of social measures are first introduced without whicM
h early marriage cannot even be thought of. In other words, a solution of this question, which seems a small problem in itself, cannot be brought about without adopting radical measures to alter the social background. The importance of such measures ought to be studied and properly estimated, especially at a time when the so-called
Republic has shown itself unable to solve the housing problem and has thus made it impossible for innumerable couples to get married. That sort of policy prepares the way foM
r the further advance of prostitution. Another reason why early marriages are impossible is our nonsensical method of regulating the scale of salaries, which pays far too little attention to the problem of family support. Prostitution, therefore, can only be really seriously tackled if, by means of a radical social reform, early marriage is made easier than hitherto. This is the first preliminary necessity for the solution of this problem. Secondly, a whole series of false notions must be eradicated from our systemM
of bringing up and educating children, a thing which hitherto no one seems to have worried about. In our present educational system a balance will have to be established, first and foremost, between mental instruction and physical training. What is known as the Gymnasium to-day is a positive insult to the Greek institution.</p><blockquote><p>280</p></blockquote><p>Our system of education entirely loses sight of the fact that, in the long run, a healthy mind can exist only in a healthy body. This statement applies M
with few exceptions, particularly to the broad masses of the nation. In the pre-war Germany there was a time when no one, took the trouble to think over this truth. Training of the body was criminally neglected, the one-sided training of the mind being regarded as a sufficient guarantee for the nation
s greatness. This mistake was destined to show its effects sooner than had been anticipated. It is not pure chance that the Bolshevist teaching flourishes in those regions whose degenerate population has been broughM
t to the verge of starvation, as, for example, in the case of Central Germany, Saxony, and the Ruhr. In all these districts there is a marked absence of any serious resistance, even by the so-called intellectual classes, against this Jewish contagion, and the simple reason is that the intellectual classes are themselves physically degenerate, not through privation, but through education. The exclusive intellectualism of the education in vogue among our upper classes makes them unfit for life
s struggle in an epocM
h in which physical force, and not intellect, is the dominating factor. Thus, they are neither capable of maintaining themselves, nor of making their way in life. In nearly every case physical disability is the forerunner of personal cowardice. The extravagant emphasis laid on purely intellectual education and the consequent neglect of physical training must necessarily lead to sexual thoughts in early youth. Those boys whose constitutions have been trained and hardened by sports and gymnastics are less prone to seM
xual indulgence than those stay-at-homes who have been fed exclusively with mental pabulum. Sound methods of education cannot, however, afford to disregard this and we must not forget that what a healthy young man demands from a woman will differ from the demands of a weakling who has been prematurely corrupted.</p><blockquote><p>281</p></blockquote><p>Thus in every branch of our education the day
s curriculum must be arranged so as to occupy a boy
s free time in profitable development of his physical powers. HM
e has no right in those years to loaf about, becoming a nuisance in public streets and in cinemas; but when his day
s work, is done he ought to harden his young body so that his strength may not be found wanting when the occasion arises. To prepare for this and to carry it out should be the function of our educational system and not exclusively to cram him with knowledge. Our school system must also rid itself of the notion that the training of the body is a task that should be left to the individual himself. TheM
re is no such thing as freedom to sin against posterity and thus against the race. The fight against pollution of the mind must be waged simultaneously with the training of the body. To-day the whole of our public life may be compared to a hot-house for the forced growth of sexual notions and excitements. A glance at the till-of-fare provided by our cinemas, playhouses and theatres, suffices to prove that this is not the right food, especially for our young people. Hoardings and advertisement kiosks combine to attrM
act the public in the most vulgar manner. Anyone who has not altogether lost contact with adolescent yearnings will realise that all this must have very grave consequences. This seductive and sensuous atmosphere puts into the heads of our youth notions of which, at their age, they ought still to be ignorant. Unfortunately, the results of this kind of education can best be seen in our contemporary youth who are prematurely grown up and, therefore, old before their time. The courts of law throw from, time to time a dM
istressing light on the spiritual life of our fourteen and fifteen-year-old-children. Who, therefore, will be surprised to learn that venereal disease claims as victims at this age? And is it not a frightful scandal to see the number of young men physically weak and intellectually ruined, who have been introduced to the mysteries of marriage by the whores of the big cities? Those who want seriously to combat prostitution must first of all assist in removing the spiritual conditions on which it thrives.</p><blockquoM
te><p>282</p></blockquote><p>They will have to clean up the moral pollution of our city
fearlessly and without regard for the outcry that will follow. If we do not drag our youth out of the morass of their present environment they will be engulfed by it. Those people who do not want to see these things are deliberately encouraging them and are guilty of spreading the effects of prostitution to the future, for the future belongs to our younger generation. This process of cleansing our<i>Kultur</i>will M
have to be applied in practically all spheres. The stage, art, literature, the cinema, the press and advertisement posters, all must have the stains of pollution removed and be used in the service of a national and cultural ideal. The life of the people must be freed from the asphyxiating perfume of our modern eroticism and also from every unmanly and prudish form of insincerity. In all these things, the aim and the method must be determined by thoughtful consideration for the preservation of our national well-beinM
g in body and soul. The right to personal freedom comes second in importance to the duty of preserving the race. Only after such measures have been put into practice can a medical campaign against this scourge begin with some hope of success. But here again half-measures will be valueless. Far-reaching and important decisions will have to be made. It would be doing things by halves if incurables were given the opportunity of infecting one healthy person after another. This would be practising that kind of humanitarM
ianism which allows hundreds to perish in order to prevent the suffering of one individual. The demand that it should be made impossible for defective people to continue to propagate defective offspring is a demand that is based on most reasonable grounds, and its proper fulfilment is the most humane task that mankind has to face. Unhappy and undeserved suffering will be prevented in millions of cases, with the result that there will be a gradual improvement in national health.</p><blockquote><p>283</p></blockquoteM
><p>A determined decision to act in this manner will at the same time provide an obstacle against the further spread of venereal disease. It would then be a case, where necessary, of mercilessly isolating all incurables
perhaps a barbaric measure for those unfortunates
but a blessing for the present generation and for posterity. The temporary pain thus experienced in this century can, and will, save thousands of future generations from suffering. The fight against syphilis and its pace-maker, prostitution, is oM
ne of the gigantic tasks of mankind; gigantic, because it is not merely a case of solving a single problem, but of the removal of a whole series of evils which are the contributory causes of this scourge. Disease of the body in this case is merely the result of a diseased condition of the moral, social, and racial instincts. If, for reasons of indolence or cowardice, this fight is not fought to a finish, we may imagine what conditions will be like five centuries hence. Little of God
s image will be left in human M
nature, except to mock the Creator. What has been done in Germany to counteract this scourge? If we think calmly over the answer we shall find it distressing. It is true that in governmental circles the terrible and injurious effects of this disease were well known, but the counter-measures which were officially adopted were ineffective and a hopeless failure. They tinkered with cures for the symptoms wholly regardless of the cause of the disease. Prostitutes were medically examined and controlled as far as possiblM
e, and when signs of infection were apparent they were sent to hospital. When outwardly cured, they were once more let loose on humanity. It is true that
protective legislation
was introduced which made sexual intercourse a punishable offence for all those not completely cured, or for those suffering from venereal disease. This legislation was correct in theory, but in practice, it failed completely. In the First place, in the majority of cases women will decline to appear in court as witnesses against men whM
o have robbed them of their health.</p><blockquote><p>284</p></blockquote><p>Women would be exposed far more than men to uncharitable remarks in such cases, and one can imagine what their position would be if they had been infected by their own husbands. Should women in that case bring a charge? Or what should they do? In the case of the man there is the additional fact that he is frequently unfortunate enough to run up against this danger when he is under the influence of alcohol. His condition makes it impossibleM
for him to assess the qualities of his
a fact which is well known to every diseased prostitute and makes her single out men in this
condition for preference. The result is that the unfortunate man is not able to recollect later on who his compassionate benefactress was, which is not surprising in cities like Berlin and Munich. Many such cases are visitors from the provinces who, held helpless and enthralled by the magic charm of city life, become an easy prey for prostitutes. FinaM
lly, who is able to say whether he has been
infected or not? Are there not innumerable cases on record where an apparently cured person has a relapse and does untold harm without knowing it? Therefore, in practice, the results of these legislative measures are negative. The same applies to the control of prostitution, and, finally, even medical treatment and cure are to-day still unsafe and doubtful. One thing only is certain, the scourge has spread further and further in spite of all precautionary measures, andM
this alone suffices definitely to prove and substantiate their inefficacy. Everything else that was undertaken was just as ineffectual as it was absurd. The spiritual prostitution of the people was neither arrested nor was anything whatsoever undertaken in this direction. Those, however, who do not regard this subject as a serious one would do well to examine the statistical data of the spread of this disease, study its growth in the last century and contemplate the possibilities of its further development. The orM
dinary observer, unless he were particularly stupid, would experience a cold shudder if the a certain historical value, rather than the products of not merely artistic but even mental degeneration bordering on the futile.</p><blockquote><p>285</p></blockquote><p>Here, in the cultural sphere, the signs of the coming political collapse first became manifest. The Bolshevisation of art is the only cultural form of life and the only spiritual manifestation of which Bolshevism is capable. Anyone to whom this statement maM
y appear strange need only take a glance at those lucky States which have become Bolshevised and, to his horror, he will there recognise those morbid monstrosities which have been produced by insane and degenerate people. All those artistic aberrations which, since the beginning of the present century, have been classified under the names Cubism and Dadaism, are manifestations of art which have come to be officially recognised by the State itself. This phenomenon made its appearance even during the short-lived periM
od of the Soviet Republic in Bavaria. At that time one might easily have recognised how all the official posters, propaganda pictures and newspapers, etc., showed signs not only of political, but also of cultural decadence. About sixty years ago a political collapse such as we are experiencing to-day would have been just as inconceivable as the cultural decline which has been manifested in Cubist and Futurist pictures ever since 1900. Sixty years ago an exhibition of so-called Dadaist
een an absolutely preposterous idea. The organisers of such an exhibition would then have been certified fit for the lunatic asylum, whereas to-day they are appointed presidents of art societies. At that time such an epidemic would never have been allowed to spread. Public opinion would not have tolerated it, and the government would not have remained silent, for it is the duty of a government to save the people from being driven into such intellectual madness. Intellectual madness would have resulted from a develoM
pment that followed the acceptance of this kind of art. It would have marked one of the worst changes in human history, for it would have meant that a retrogressive process had begun to take place in the human brain, the final stages of which would have been unthinkable. If we study the course of our cultural life during the last twenty-five years we shall be astonished to note how far we have already gone in this process of retrogression.</p><blockquote><p>286</p></blockquote><p>Everywhere we find the presence of M
those germs which give rise to protuberant growths that must sooner or later bring about the ruin of our culture. Here we find undoubted symptoms of slow corruption, and woe to the nations that are no longer able to bring that morbid process to a halt! In almost all the various fields of German art and culture these morbid phenomena may be observed. Here everything seems to have passed the culminating point of its excellence and to have entered the curve of a hasty decline. At the beginning of the century the theatM
res seemed already degenerate and ceased to be cultural factors, except the Court theatres, which opposed the prostitution of the national art. Apart from these, and a few other praiseworthy exceptions, the plays produced on the stage were of such a nature that people would have benefited by not visiting them at all. A sad symptom of internal decay was manifested in the fact that it was impossible to allow adolescents to frequent most of these so-called
a brazen admission that this was so, beiM
ng the notice exhibited at the entrance-doors: Adults only. Let it be borne in mind that these precautions had to be taken in regard to institutions whose main purpose should have been to promote the education of the youth and not merely to provide amusement for sophisticated adults. What would the great dramatists of other times have said of such measures and, above all, of the conditions which made these measures necessary? How exasperated Schiller would have been, and how Goethe would have turned away in disgustM
! But what are Schiller, Goethe and Shakespeare when confronted with the heroes of our modern German literature? Old, frowsy, out-moded and finished, for it was typical of this epoch that not only were its own products bad, but that it reviled everything that had been really great in the past. This is a phenomenon that is very characteristic of such epochs. The more vile and miserable the men and products of an epoch, the more they will hate and denigrate the ideal achievements of former generations.</p><blockquoteM
><p>287</p></blockquote><p>What these people would like best would be to destroy completely every vestige of the past, in order to do away with that sole standard of comparison which prevents their own daubs from being looked upon as art. Therefore the more lamentable and wretched the products of each new era, the more it will try to obliterate all the memorials of the past. Any real innovation that is for the benefit of mankind can always face comparison with the best of what has gone before, and frequently even sM
erves to reveal the true value of the latter. There is no fear that modem productions of real value will look pale and worthless beside the monuments of the past. What is contributed to the general treasury of human culture often fulfils a part that is necessary in order to keep the memory of old achievements alive, because this memory alone is the standard whereby our own works are properly appreciated. Only those who have nothing of value to give to the world, but pretend that they have much to bestow, will opposM
e everything that already exists and would have it destroyed at all costs. This holds good not only for new phenomena in the cultural domain, but also in politics. The more inferior new revolutionary movements are, the more will they try to denigrate the old forms. Here again the desire to palm off their shoddy products as great and original achievements leads them into a blind hatred against everything which belongs to the past and which is superior to their own work. As long as the historical memory of Frederick M
the Great, for instance, still lives, Friedrich Ebert can arouse only a problematic admiration. The relation of the hero of Sans Souci to the former publican of Bremen may be compared to that of the sun to the moon, for the moon can shine only after the direct rays of the sun have left the earth. Thus we can readily understand why it is that all the new moons in human history have hated the fixed stars. In the field of politics, if Fate should happen temporarily to place the ruling power in the hands of these nonenM
tities, they are not only eager to defile and revile the past, but at the same time they will use any means to evade criticism of their own acts. The Law for the Protection of the Republic, which the new German State enacted, may be taken as an example illustrating this truth.</p><blockquote><p>288</p></blockquote><p>One has good reason to be suspicious in regard to any new idea, or any doctrine or philosophy, any political or economic movement, which tries to deny everything that the past has produced or to represM
ent it as inferior and worthless. Such an antipathy is usually due to a sense of inferiority or to malicious intention. Any new movement which is really beneficial to human progress will always have to begin its constructive work at the level at which the last stones of the structure have been laid. It need not blush to utilise those truths which have already been established, for all human culture, as well as man himself, is only the result of one long line of development, where each generation has contributed itsM
share in the building of the whole structure. The meaning and purpose of revolutions cannot be to tear down the whole building, but to take away what has not been well fitted into it or is unsuitable, and to fill in the gap thus caused, after which the main construction of the building will be carried on. Only thus will it be possible to talk of human progress, for otherwise the world would never be free of chaos, since each generation would feel entitled to reject the past, and to destroy all the work of the pastM
, as the necessary preliminary to any new work of its own. The saddest feature of the condition in which our whole civilisation found itself before the War was the fact that it was not only barren of any creative force to produce its own works of art and civilisation but that it hated, defiled and tried to efface the memory of the superior works produced in the past. About the end of the last century people were less interested in producing new significant works of their own
particularly in the fields of dramaticM
than in defaming the best works of the past and in presenting them as inferior and antiquated. As if this period of disgraceful decadence was capable of accomplishing anything! The efforts made to conceal the past from the eyes of the present afforded clear evidence of the fact that these apostles of the future acted from an evil intent. These symptoms should have made it clear to all that it was not a question of new, though wrong, cultural ideas, but of a process which was undermining the veM
ry foundations of civilisation.</p><blockquote><p>289</p></blockquote><p>It threw the artistic feeling which had hitherto been quite sane into utter confusion, thus spiritually preparing the way for political Bolshevism. If the creative spirit of the Periclean age be manifested in the Parthenon, then the Bolshevist era is manifested by a cubist mask. In this connection attention must be drawn once again to the want of courage displayed by one section of our people, namely, by those who, in virtue of their educationM
and position, ought to have felt themselves obliged to take up a firm stand against this outrage against our culture, but they refrained from offering serious resistance and surrendered to what they considered the inevitable. This inaction of theirs was due, however, to sheer funk lest the apostles of Bolshevist art might raise a rumpus; for those apostles always violently attacked everyone who was not ready to recognise them as the choice spirits of artistic creation, and they tried to strangle all opposition by M
saying that it was the product of Philistine and backwater minds. People trembled in fear lest they might be accused by these yahoos and swindlers of lacking artistic appreciation, as if it would have been a disgrace not to be able to understand and appreciate the effusions of those mental degenerates or cunning rogues. Those cultural disciples, however, had a very simple way of presenting their own effusions as works of the highest quality. They offered incomprehensible and manifestly crazy productions to their amM
azed contemporaries as what they called
an inner experience.
Thus they forestalled all adverse criticism, at very little cost indeed. Of course, nobody ever doubted that there could have been inner experiences like that; but some doubt ought to have arisen as to whether or not there was any justification for exhibiting these hallucinations of psychopaths or criminals to the sane portion of human society. The works produced by a Moritz von Schwind or a Bocklin were also the fruits of an inner experience, but tM
hese were the experiences of divinely gifted artists and not of buffoons. This situation afforded a good opportunity of studying the miserable cowardliness of our so-called intellectuals who shirked the duty of offering serious resistance to the poisoning of the sound instincts of our people.</p><blockquote><p>290</p></blockquote><p>They left it to the people themselves to formulate their own attitude towards this impudent nonsense. Lest they might be considered as understanding nothing of art, they accepted every M
caricature of art, until, they finally lost the power of judging what was really good or bad. Taken all in all, there were superabundant symptoms to show that a diseased epoch had begun. Still another critical symptom has to be considered. In the course of the nineteenth century our towns and cities began more and more to lose their character as centres of civilisation and became more and more centres of habitation. In our great modem cities the proletariat does not show much attachment to the place where it lives.M
This feeling results from the fact that their dwelling-place is nothing but an accidental abode, and is also partly due to the frequent change of residence which is forced upon them by social conditions. There is no time for the growth of any attachment to the town in which they live. Another reason lies in the cultural barrenness and superficiality of our modern cities. At the time of the German Wars of Liberation our German towns and cities were not only small in number, but also very modest in size. The few thaM
t could really be called great cities were mostly the residential cities of princes; as such they had almost always a definite cultural value and also a definite cultural aspect. Those few towns which had more than fifty thousand inhabitants were, in comparison with modern cities of the same size, rich in scientific and artist, treasures. At the time when Munich had a population of not more than sixty thousand souls it was already well on the way to becoming one of the first centres of German art. Nowadays, almost M
every industrial town has a population at least as large as that, without having anything of real value to call its own. They are agglomerations of tenement houses and congested dwelling-houses, and nothing else. It would be a miracle if anybody should grow sentimentally attached to such a meaningless place. Nobody can grow attached to a place which offers only just as much, or as little, as any other place would offer, which, has no character of its own and where obviously pains have been taken to avoid everythingM
that might have any resemblance to an artistic appearance.</p><blockquote><p>291</p></blockquote><p>But this is not all. Even the great cities become more barren of real works of art the more they increase in population. They assume more and more a neutral atmosphere and present the same aspect, though on a larger scale, as the wretched little factory towns. Everything that our modern age has contributed to the cultural aspect of our great cities is absolutely deficient. All our towns are living on the glory and tM
he treasures of the past. If we take away from the Munich of to-day everything that was created under Ludwig I, we should be horror-stricken to see how meagre has been the output of important artistic creations since that time. One might say much the same of Berlin and most of our other great towns. The following is the essential thing to be noticed. Our great modern cities have no outstanding monuments that dominate the general aspect of the city and could be pointed to as the symbols of a whole epoch, yet almost M
every ancient town had a monument erected to its glory. It was not in private dwellings that the characteristic art of ancient cities was displayed, but in the public monuments which were not meant to have a transitory interest but an enduring one. This was because they did not represent the wealth of some individual citizen but the greatness and importance of the community. It was under this inspiration that those monuments arose which bound the individual inhabitants to their own town in a manner that is often alM
most incomprehensible to us to-day. What struck the eye of the individual citizen was not a number of mediocre private buildings, but imposing structures that belonged to the whole community. In contradistinction to these, private dwellings were of only very secondary importance indeed. When we compare the size of those ancient public buildings with that of the private dwellings belonging to the same epoch, then we can understand the great importance which was attached to the principle that those works which reflecM
ted and affected the life of the community should take precedence of all others.</p><blockquote><p>292</p></blockquote><p>Among the broken arches and vast spaces that are covered with ruins from the ancient world the colossal monuments which still arouse our wonder have not been left to us from the commercial palaces of those days but from the temples of the gods and the public edifices that belonged to the State. The community itself was the owner of those great edifices. Even in the pomp of Rome during the decadeM
nce it was not the villas and palaces of the citizens that occupied the most prominent place, but rather the temples and the baths, the stadia, the circuses, the aqueducts, the basilicas, etc., which belonged to the State and therefore to the people as a whole. In medieval Germany also, the same principle held good, although the artistic outlook was quite different. In ancient times the theme that found its expression in the Acropolis or the Pantheon was now clothed in the form of the Gothic Cathedral. In the medieM
val cities these monumental structures towered gigantically above the swarm of smaller buildings, with their framework walls of wood and brick, and they remain the dominant feature of these cities even to our own day, although they are becoming more and more obscured by the tenement houses. They determine the character and appearance of the locality. Cathedrals, city halls, corn-exchanges, forts, are the outward expression of an idea which has its counterpart only in the ancient world. The dimensions and quality ofM
our public buildings to-day are in deplorable contrast to the edifices that, represent private interests. If a similar fate should befall Berlin as befell Rome, future generations might gaze upon the ruins of some Jewish department stores or joint-stock hotels and think that these were the characteristic expressions of the culture of our time. In Berlin itself, compare the shameful disproportion between the buildings which belong to the Reich and those which have been erected for the accommodation of trade and finM
ance.</p><blockquote><p>293</p></blockquote><p>The funds that are voted for public buildings are in most cases inadequate and really ridiculous. They are not built as structures that were meant to last, but mostly for the purpose of answering the need of the moment. No higher idea influenced those who commissioned such buildings. At the time the Berlin Schloss was built, it had quite a different significance to that which the new library has for our time, seeing that one battleship alone represents an expenditure oM
f about sixty million marks, whereas less than half that sum was allotted for the building of the Reichstag, the most imposing structure erected for the Reich, which should have been built to last for ages. Yet, in deciding the question of internal decoration, the august House voted against the use of stone and ordered that the walls should be covered with stucco. For once, however, the parliamentarians made an appropriate decision on that occasion, for wooden heads would be out of place between stone walls. The coM
mmunity as such is not the dominant characteristic of our contemporary cities, and therefore it is not to be wondered at if the community does not find itself architecturally represented. Thus we must eventually arrive at a veritable civic desert which will finally be reflected in the total indifference of the individual citizen towards his own city. This is also a sign of our cultural decay and general break-up. Our era is entirely preoccupied with petty materialistic considerations, or rather it is entirely preocM
cupied with the question of money. Therefore, it is not to be wondered at if, with the worship of such an idol, the sense of heroism should entirely disappear, but the present is only reaping what the past had sown. All these symptoms which preceded the final collapse of the Second Reich must be attributed to the lack of a definite and uniformly accepted<i>Weltanschauung</i>and the general uncertainty of outlook consequent on that lack. This uncertainty showed itself when the great questions of the time had to be cM
onsidered one after another and a decisive policy adopted towards them.</p><blockquote><p>294</p></blockquote><p>This lack is also .accountable for the habit of doing everything by halves, beginning with the educational system, the shilly-shallying, the reluctance to undertake responsibility and, finally, the cowardly tolerance of evils that were even admitted to be destructive. Visionary humanitarianism became the fashion. By weakly submitting to these aberrations and sparing the feelings of the individual, the fuM
ture of millions of human beings was sacrificed. An examination of the religious situation before the War shows that the general process of disruption had extended to this sphere also. A great part of the nation itself had, for a long time past, ceased to have any convictions of a uniform and practical character in their ideological outlook on life. In this matter the point of primary importance was by no means the number of people who renounced their church membership, but rather the widespread indifference. WhileM
the two Christian denominations maintained missions in Asia and Africa, for the purpose of securing new adherents to the faith, these same denominations were losing millions and millions of their adherents at home in Europe. These former adherents either gave up religion wholly as a directive force in their lives, or they adopted their own interpretation of it. The consequences of this were specially felt in the moral life of the country. In parenthesis it may be remarked that the progress made by the missions in M
spreading the Christian faith abroad was very modest in comparison with the spread of Mohammedanism. It must be noted, too, that the attack on the dogmatic principles underlying ecclesiastical teaching increased steadily in violence, and yet this human world of ours would be inconceivable without the practical existence of a religious belief. The great masses of a nation are not composed of philosophers. For the masses of the people especially, faith is absolutely the only basis of a moral<i>Weltanschauung</i>. TheM
various substitutes that have been offered have not shown any results that might warrant us in thinking that they might usefully replace the existing denominations, but if religious teaching and religious faith are to be accepted by the broad masses as active forces in their lives, then the absolute authority of the doctrines of faith must be the foundation of all reality.</p><blockquote><p>295</p></blockquote><p>There may be a few hundreds of thousands of superior men who can live wisely and intelligently withoutM
depending on the general standards that prevail in everyday life, but the millions of others cannot do so. Now, the place which general custom fills in everyday life, corresponds to that of general laws in the State and dogma in religion. The purely spiritual idea is of itself a changeable thing that may be subjected to endless interpretations. It is only through dogma that it is given a precise and concrete form without which it could not become a living faith. Otherwise, the spiritual idea would never become anyM
thing more than a mere metaphysical concept, or rather a philosophical opinion. Accordingly, the attack on dogma is comparable to an attack on the general laws on which the State is founded, and so this attack would finally lead to complete political anarchy if it were successful, just as the attack on religion would lead to a worthless religious nihilism. The political leader should not estimate the worth of a religion by taking some of its shortcomings into account, but should ask himself whether there be any praM
ctical substitute which is obviously better. Until such a substitute is available only fools and criminals would think of abolishing the existing religion. Undoubtedly, no small amount of blame for the present unsatisfactory religious situation must be attributed to those who have encumbered the ideal of religion with purely material accessories and have thus given rise to an utterly futile conflict between religion and science. In this conflict, victory will nearly always be on the side of science, although after M
a bitter struggle, while religion will suffer heavily in the eyes of those who cannot penetrate beneath mere superficial learning. The greatest damage of all has come from the practice of abusing religious conviction in order to further political aims. Most severe measures should be adopted against these miserable swindlers who look on religion merely as a means that can be exploited to serve political interests, or rather commercial ends.</p><blockquote><p>296</p></blockquote><p>The impudent and loud-mouthed liarsM
who do this make their profession of faith before the whole world in stentorian tones so that all poor mortals may hear-not that they are ready to die for it if necessary, but rather that they may live all the better. They are ready to sell their faith for any political quid pro quo. For ten parliamentary mandates they would ally themselves with the Marxists, who are the mortal foes of all religion, and for a seat in the Cabinet they would go the length of wedlock with the devil, if the latter had not still retainM
ed some traces of decency which would lead him to refuse. If religious life in pre-war Germany had a disagreeable savour in the mouths of many people, this was because Christianity had been lowered to base uses by political parties that called themselves Christian and because of the shameful way in which they tried to identify the Catholic Faith with a political party. This substitution was fatal. It procured some worthless parliamentary mandates for the party in question, but the Church suffered damage thereby. ThM
e consequences of that situation had to be borne by the whole nation, for the laxity that resulted in religious life set in at a juncture when everything was beginning to lose stability and vacillate, and the traditional foundations of custom and of morality were threatening to fall asunder. Yet all those cracks and clefts in the social organism might not have been dangerous if no grave burdens had been laid upon it; but they became disastrous when the internal solidarity of the nation was the most important factorM
in withstanding the storm of big events. In the political field also, observant eyes might have noticed certain faults in the Reich which foretold disaster unless some alteration and correction took place in time. The lack of orientation in German policy, both domestic and foreign, was obvious to everyone who was not purposely blind. The best thing that could be said about the practice of making compromises is that it seemed outwardly to be in harmony with Bismarck
s saying that politics is the art of accomplishM
ing the possible, but Bismarck was a slightly different man from the Chancellors who followed him. This difference allowed the former to apply that formula to the very essence of his policy, while in the mouths of the others it took on an utterly different significance.</p><blockquote><p>297</p></blockquote><p>When he uttered that phrase, Bismarck meant to say that in order to attain a definite political end all possible means should be employed, or at least that all possibilities should be investigated, but his suM
ccessors saw in that phrase only a solemn declaration that one is not necessarily bound to have political principles or any definite political aims at all. The political leaders of the Reich at that time had no far-seeing policy. Here again, the necessary foundation was lacking, namely, a definite<i>Weltanschauung</i>, and those leaders also lacked that clear insight into the laws of political evolution which is a necessary quality in political leadership. Many people who took a gloomy view of things at that time cM
ondemned the lack of ideas and lack of orientation which were evident in directing the policy of the Reich. They recognised the inner weakness and futility of this policy, but such people played only a secondary role in politics. Those who had the government of the country in their hands were quite as indifferent to principles of civil wisdom laid down by thinkers like Houston Stewart Chamberlain as are our political leaders to-day. These people are too stupid to think for themselves, and they have too much self-coM
nceit to take from others the instruction which they need. Oxenstierna gave expression to a truth which has lasted since time immemorial, when he said that the world is governed by only a particle of wisdom, and it can be said of practically every higher government official that he represents but a tiny atom of this particle. Since Germany became a Republic even this modicum is wanting, and that is why they had to promulgate the Law for the Defence of the Republic, which prohibits the holding of such views or the eM
xpression of them. It was fortunate for Oxenstierna that he lived at that time and not in this wise Republic of our day. Even before the war that institution which should have represented the strength of the Reich
the parliament, the Reichstag
was widely recognised as its weakest feature. Cowardliness and fear of shouldering responsibilities were associated together there to perfection. One of the silliest notions that one hears expressed to-day is that in Germany the parliamentary system has proved a failure M
since the Revolution. This might easily be taken to imply that the case was different before the Revolution, but in reality the parliamentary system can never function except to the detriment of the country, and it functioned thus in those days when people saw nothing or did not wish to see anything.</p><blockquote><p>298</p></blockquote><p>The German downfall is to be attributed in no small degree, to this system, but that the catastrophe did not take place sooner is not to the credit of the Reichstag, but rather M
to those who opposed the influence of this institution which, during peace time, was digging the grave of the German Nation and the German Reich. From the immense mass of devastating evils that were due either directly or indirectly to the Reichstag, I shall select the one most intimately typical of this institution which was the most irresponsible of all time. The evil I speak of was seen in the appalling shilly-shally and weakness in conducting the internal and external affairs of the Reich. It was attributable iM
n the first place to the action of the Reichstag and was one of the principal causes of the political collapse. Everything subject to the influence of this parliament was done by halves, no matter from what aspect you may regard it. The foreign policy of the Reich in the matter of alliances was an example of shilly-shally. They wished to maintain peace, but in doing so, they steered straight for war. Their Polish policy was also carried out by half-measures. It acted as an irritant, but achieved no positive resultsM
. It resulted neither in a German triumph nor a Polish conciliation, and it made enemies of the Russians. They tried to solve the Alsace-Lorraine question through half-measures. Instead of crushing the head of the French hydra once and for all with the mailed fist and granting Alsace-Lorraine equal rights with the other German states, they did neither the one nor the other. Anyhow, it was impossible for them to do otherwise, for they had among their ranks the greatest traitors to the country, such as Herr Wetterl
of the Centre Party. But still the country might have been able to bear with all this provided the half-measure policy had not victimized that force on which, as the last resort, the existence of the Reich depended, namely, the Army. The crime committed by the so-called German Reichstag in this regard was sufficient of itself to draw down upon it the curses of the German nation for all time.</p><blockquote><p>299</p></blockquote><p>On the most miserable of pretexts these parliamentary partyhenchmen filched from thM
e hands of the nation and threw away, the weapons which were needed to maintain its existence and thereby defend the liberty and independence of our people. If the graves on the plains of Flanders were to open to-day the blood-stained accusers would arise, hundreds of thousands of our best German youth who, thanks to those conscienceless parliamentary criminals were delivered, badly trained or only half-trained, into the arms of Death. Those youths and other millions of the killed and mutilated were lost to the FatM
herland simply and solely in order that a few hundred deceivers of the people might carry out their political manoeuvres and their exactions, or even continue to recite their doctrinaire theories. By means of the Marxist and democratic press, the Jews spread the colossal falsehood about
throughout the world and tried to inculpate Germany by every possible means, while at the same time the Marxist and democratic parties refused to assent to the measures that were necessary for the adequate trM
aining of our national defence forces. The appalling crime thus committed by these persons ought to have been obvious to everybody who foresaw that in case of war the whole nation would have to be called to arms and that, because of the mean huckstering of these noble
representatives of the people,
as they called themselves, millions of Germans would have to face the enemy ill-equipped and insufficiently trained. But, even apart from the consequences of the crude and brutal lack of conscience which these parlM
iamentarian rascals displayed, it was quite clear that the lack of properly trained soldiers at the beginning of a war would most probably lead to the loss of the said war; and this probability was confirmed in a most terrible way during the course of the World War. Therefore, the German people lost the struggle for the freedom and independence of their country because of the half-hearted and defective policy employed during times of peace in the organisation and training of the defensive strength of the nation. ThM
e number of recruits trained for the land forces was too small, but the same half-heartedness was shown in regard to the Navy and made this weapon of national self-preservation more or less ineffective.</p><blockquote><p>300</p></blockquote><p>Unfortunately, even the naval authorities themselves were contaminated with this spirit of half-heartedness. The tendency to build the ship on the stocks somewhat smaller than that just launched by the British showed little foresight and less genius. A fleet which cannot be bM
rought to the same numerical strength as that of the probable enemy ought to compensate for this inferiority by the superior fighting power of the individual ship. It is the weight of the fighting power that counts and not any sort of traditional quality. As a matter of fact, modem technical development is so advanced and so well-proportioned among the various civilised States that it must be looked on as practically impossible for one Power to build vessels which would have a superior fighting quality to that of tM
he vessels of equal size built by the other Powers. It is even less feasible to build vessels of smaller displacement which will be superior in action to those of larger displacement. As a matter of fact, the smaller proportions of the German vessels could be maintained only at the expense of speed and armament. The phrase used to justify this policy was in itself evidence of the lack of logical thinking on the part of the naval authorities who were in charge of these matters in times of peace. They declared that tM
he German guns were definitely superior to the British, so that the German 28 cm. gun was just as effective as the British 30.5 cm. gun. But that was just why they should have adopted the policy of building 30.5 cm. guns also; for it ought to have been their object not to achieve equality, but superiority, in fighting strength. If that were not so, then it would have been superfluous to equip the land forces with 42 cm. mortars, since the German 21 cm. mortar was far superior to any high-angle guns which the FrenchM
possessed at that time and consequently the fortresses could probably have been taken by means of 30.5 cm. mortars. The army authorities calculated correctly, the naval authorities unfortunately failed to do so. If they were willing to forego superiority of armaments as well as of speed, this was because of the fundamentally false
which they adopted.</p><blockquote><p>301</p></blockquote><p>The naval authorities, even in times of peace, renounced the principle of attack and thus had to follM
ow a defensive policy from the very beginning of the war, but by this attitude they renounced also the chances of final success, which can be achieved only by taking the offensive. A vessel of slower speed and weaker armament will be crippled and battered by an adversary that is faster and stronger at a distance which gives the latter an advantage. A large number of cruisers have been through bitter experiences of this kind. How wrong the ideas prevalent among the naval authorities in times of peace were, was proveM
d during the war. They were compelled to modify the armament of the old vessels and to equip the new ones with better armament whenever there was a chance to do so. If the German vessels in the Battle of Jutland had been of equal size, the same armament and the same speed as the British, the British Fleet would have gone down under the tempest of German 38 cm. shells, which hit their mark more accurately and were more effective. Japan had followed a different kind of naval policy. There, as a matter of principle, cM
are was taken to create with every single new vessel a fighting force that would be superior to that of the eventual adversaries, but because of this policy, it was afterwards possible to use the fleet for the offensive. While the army authorities refused to adopt such fundamentally erroneous principles, the Navy
which unfortunately had more representatives in parliament
succumbed to the spirit that ruled there. The Navy was not organised on a strong basis, and it was later used in an unsystematic and irresolutM
e way. The immortal glory which the Navy won, in spite of these drawbacks, must be entirely credited to the good work, the efficiency and incomparable heroism of officers and crews. If its former commanders-in-chief had been, inspired with a like degree of genius, all the sacrifices would not have been in vain. It was probably the very parliamentarian skill displayed by the chief of the Navy during the years of peace which later became the cause of the fatal collapse, since parliamentarian considerations had begun M
to play a more important role in the construction of the Navy than fighting considerations.</p><blockquote><p>302</p></blockquote><p>The irresolution, the weakness and the failure to adopt a logically consistent policy, which is typical of the parliamentary system, contaminated the naval authorities. As I have already emphasised, the military authorities did not allow themselves to be led astray by such fundamentally erroneous ideas. Ludendorff, who was then a colonel on the General Staff, led a desperate struggle M
against the criminal vacillations with which the Reichstag treated the most vital problems of the nation, and in most cases voted against them. If the fight which this officer then waged remained unsuccessful, this must be ascribed to the parliament and partly also to the wretched and weak attitude of the Chancellor, Bethmann-Hollweg. Yet those who are responsible for Germany
s collapse do not hesitate now to lay the blame on the shoulders of the one man who took a firm stand against the neglectful manner in whicM
h the interests of the nation were managed, but one falsehood more or less makes no difference to these born tricksters.Anybody who thinks of all the sacrifices which this nation has had to bear, as a result of the criminal neglect of those irresponsible individuals; anybody who thinks of the number of those who died or were maimed unnecessarily; anybody who thinks of the deplorable shame and dishonour which has been heaped upon us and of the illimitable distress into which our people are now plunged
realises that all this had to happen in order to prepare the way to a seat in parliament for some unscrupulous place-hunters and
, will understand that such hirelings can be called by no other name than that of rascal and criminal, for otherwise those words would have no meaning. In comparison with traitors who betrayed the nation
s trust, every other kind of twister may be looked upon as an honourable man. It was a peculiar feature of the situation that all the real faults of the old Germany were exM
posed to the public gaze only when the inner solidarity of the nation could be injured by doing so. Then indeed unpleasant truths were openly proclaimed in the ears of the broad masses, while many other things were at other times shamefully hushed up or their existence simply denied, especially at times when an open discussion of such problems might have led to an improvement. The higher government authorities knew little or nothing of the nature and use of propaganda in such matters.</p><blockquote><p>303</p></bloM
ckquote><p>Only the Jew knew that by an able and persistent use of propaganda, heaven itself can be presented to the people as if it were hell and, vice versa, the most miserable kind of life can be presented as if it were paradise. The Jew knew this and acted accordingly, but the German, or rather his government, did not have the slightest suspicion of it. During the war, the heaviest of penalties had to be paid for that ignorance. Over against the innumerable drawbacks which I have mentioned here and which affectM
ed German life before the war there were many outstanding features on the positive side. If we take an impartial survey, we must admit that most of our drawbacks were in great measure prevalent also in other countries and among the other nations, and very often in a worse form than with us, whereas among us there were many real advantages which the others did not have. Chief among Germany
s advantages was the fact that, of all the European nations, the German nation was almost the only one which had made a great M
effort to preserve the national character of its economic structure and for this reason was less subject than other countries to the power of international finance, though indeed there were many untoward symptoms in this regard also, and yet this advantage was a perilous one and turned out later to be one of the chief causes of the World War. Even if we disregard this advantage of national independence in economic matters, there were certain other positive features of our social and political life which were of outM
standing excellence. These features were represented by three institutions which were constant sources of regeneration. In their respective spheres they were models of perfection and efficiency. The first of these was the constitution as such and the manner in which it had been developed in Germany in modern times. Of course we must except those monarchs who, as human beings, were subject to the failings which afflict this world and its children. If we were not so tolerant in these matters, then the case of the preM
sent generation would be hopeless, nor if we take into consideration the personal capabilities and character of the representative figures in our present regime, it would be difficult to imagine a more modest level of intelligence and moral character.</p><blockquote><p>304</p></blockquote><p>If we measure the
of the German Revolution by the personal worth and calibre of the individuals whom this revolution has presented to the German people since November 1918, then we may feel ashamed indeed in thinkiM
ng of the judgment which posterity will pass on these individuals, when the Law for the Protection of the Republic can no longer silence public opinion. Coming generations will surely decide that the intelligence and integrity of our new German leaders were in inverse ratio to their boasting and their vices. It must be admitted that the monarchy had become alien in spirit to many citizens and especially to the broad masses. This resulted from the fact that the monarchs were not always surrounded by, let us say, theM
highest intellect and certainly not always by persons of the most upright character. Unfortunately, many of them preferred flatterers to honest-spoken men and hence received their
from the former. This was a source of grave danger at a time when the world was passing through a period in which many of the old conditions were changing and when this change was affecting even the traditions of the Court. The average man or woman could not have felt any particular enthusiasm when, for example, at the M
close of the century, a princess in uniform and on horseback had the soldiers file past her on parade. Those high circles had apparently no idea of the impression which such a parade made on the minds of ordinary people, else such unfortunate occurrences would not have taken place. The sentimental humanitarianism
not always very sincere
which was professed in those high circles was often more repulsive than attractive. When, for instance, the Princess X condescended to taste the products of a soup-kitchen and fM
ound them excellent, as usual, such a gesture might have made an excellent impression in times long past, but on this occasion it had the opposite effect to that which was intended, for, even if we take it for granted that Her Highness did not have the slightest idea that, on the day she sampled it, the food was not quite the same as on other days, it sufficed that the people knew it.</p><blockquote><p>305</p></blockquote><p>Even the best of intentions thus became an object of ridicule or a cause of exasperation. DM
escriptions of the proverbial frugality practised by the monarch, his much too early rise in the morning and the drudgery he had to go through all day long until late at night, and especially the constantly expressed fears lest he might become undernourished
all this gave rise to ominous remarks on the part of the people. Nobody was keen to know what and how much the monarch ate or drank. Nobody grudged him a full meal, or the necessary amount of sleep. Everybody was pleased when the monarch, as a man and a persoM
nality, brought honour on his family and his country and fulfilled his duties as a sovereign. All the legends which were circulated about him helped little and did much damage. These and such things, however, are mere bagatelles: What was much worse was the feeling, which spread throughout large sections of the nation, that the affairs of the individual were being taken care of from above and that he did not need to bother himself with them. As long as the government was really good, or at least moved by goodwill, M
no serious objections could be raised, but the country was destined to disaster when the old government, which had at least striven for the best, was replaced by a new regime which was not of the same quality. Then the docile obedience and infantile credulity which formerly offered no resistance was bound to be one of the most fatal evils that can be imagined. In contrast to these and other defects there were, however, certain qualities which undoubtedly had a positive effect. First of all, the monarchical form of M
government guarantees stability in the direction of public affairs and safeguards public offices from the speculative turmoil of ambitious politicians. Furthermore, the venerable tradition which this institution possesses, arouses a feeling which gives it weight and authority.</p><blockquote><p>306</p></blockquote><p>Beyond this there is the fact that the whole corps of officials, and the Army in particular, are raised above the level of political party obligations, and still another positive feature was that the sM
upreme rulership of the State was embodied in the monarch, as an individual person, who could serve as the symbol of responsibility which a monarch has to bear more seriously than any anonymous parliamentary majority. Indeed, the proverbial honesty and integrity of the German administration must be attributed chiefly to this fact. Finally, the monarchy fulfilled a high cultural function among the German people, which made amends for many of its defects. The German residential cities have remained, given in our timeM
, centres of that artistic spirit which now threatens to disappear and is becoming more and more materialistic. The German princes gave a great deal of excellent and practical encouragement to art and science, especially during the nineteenth century. Our present age certainly has nothing of equal worth. During that process of disintegration which was slowly extending throughout the social order, the most positive factor was the Army. This was the strongest source of education which the German people possessed. ForM
that reason all the hatred of our enemies was directed against this defender of our national self-preservation and our liberty. The strongest testimony in favour of this unique institution is the fact that it was derided, hated and fought against, but also feared, by worthless elements all round. The fact that the international profiteers who gathered at Versailles, further to exploit and plunder the nations, directed their enmity specially against the old German Army, proved once again that it deserved to be regaM
rded as the institution which protected the liberties of our people against the forces of the International Stock Exchange. If the Army had not been there to sound
the alarm and stand on guard, the aims of the Versailles representatives would have been carried out much sooner. There is only one word to express what the German people owes to this Army
everything! It was the Army that still kept a sense of responsibility alive among the people when this quality had become very rare and when the, habit of shirkingM
every kind of responsibility was steadily spreading.</p><blockquote><p>307</p></blockquote><p>This habit had grown up under the evil influences of parliament, which was itself the very model of irresponsibility. The Army trained the people to personal courage at a time when the virtue of timidity threatened to become an epidemic and when the spirit of sacrificing one
s personal interests for the good of the community was considered as something that amounted almost to weak-mindedness. At a time when only those wM
ere estimated as intelligent who knew how to safeguard and promote their own egotistic interests, the Army was the school through which individual Germans were taught not to seek the salvation of their nation in the false ideology of international fraternisation between Negroes, Germans, Chinese, French and English, etc., but in the strength and unity of their own national being. The Army developed the individual
s powers of resolute decision, and this at a time when a spirit of indecision and scepticism governedM
human conduct. At a time when the wiseacres were everywhere setting the fashion, it needed courage to uphold the principle that any command is better than none. This one principle represents a robust and sound style of thought, of which not a trace would have been left in the other branches of life if the Army had not furnished a constant source of this fundamental strength. A sufficient proof of this may be found in the appalling lack of decision which our present government authorities display. They cannot shakeM
off their mental and moral lethargy and decide on some definite line of action, except when they are forced to sign some new dictate for the exploitation of the German people. In that case they decline all responsibility, while at the same time they sign everything which the other side places before them, and they sign with the readiness of an official stenographer. Their conduct is here explicable, on the ground, that, in this case, they are not under the necessity of coming to a decision, for the decision is dicM
tated to them. The Army imbued its members with a spirit of idealism and developed their readiness to sacrifice themselves for their country and its honour, while greed and materialism dominated in all the other branches of life.</p><blockquote><p>308</p></blockquote><p>The Army united a people which was split up into classes, and in this respect had only one defect, which was the one-year term of voluntary military service, a privilege granted to those who had passed through the higher grade schools. It was a defeM
ct, because the principle of absolute equality was thereby violated, and those who had a better education were thus placed outside the cadres to which the rest of their comrades belonged. The reverse would have been better. Since our upper classes were really ignorant of what was going on in the body corporate of the nation and were becoming more and more estranged from the life of the people, the Army would have accomplished a very beneficial mission if it had refused to discriminate in favour of the so-called intM
ellectuals, especially within its own ranks. It was a mistake that this was not done, but can we in this world of ours find any institution that has nit at least one defect? And in the Army, the good features were so absolutely predominant that the few defects it had, were far below the average that generally arises from human weakness. The greatest merit of the Army of the old Reich was that, at a time when the person of the individual counted for nothing and the majority was everything, it placed individual persoM
nal values above majority values. By insisting on its faith in personality, the Army opposed that typically Jewish and democratic apotheosis of the power of numbers. The Army trained what at that time was most sorely needed, namely, real men. During a period when men were falling prey to effeminacy and laxity, three hundred and fifty thousand vigorously trained young men went forth from the ranks of the Army each year. In the course of their two years training they had lost the softness of their young days and had M
developed bodies as tough as steel. The young man who had been taught obedience for two years was now fitted to command. The trained soldier could be recognised even by his walk. This was the great school of the German nation, and it was not without reason that it drew upon its head all the bitter hatred of those who wanted the Reich to be weak and defenceless, because they were jealous of its greatness and were themselves possessed by a spirit of rapacity and greed.</p><blockquote><p>309</p></blockquote><p>The resM
t of the world recognised a fact which many Germans did not wish to see, either because they were blind to facts or because, out of malice, they did not wish to see it. This fact was that the German Army was the most powerful weapon for the defence and freedom of the German nation and the best guarantee for the livelihood of its citizens. There was a third institution of positive worth, which has to be considered apart from the monarchy and the Army. This was the unrivalled civil service in the old Germany. German M
administration was better organised and better carried out than the administration of other countries. There may have been objections to the bureaucratic routine of the officials, but from this point of view, the state of affairs was similar, if not worse, in the other countries. The other States did not have the wonderful solidarity which this organisation possessed in Germany, nor were their civil servants of that same high level of scrupulous honesty. It is certainly better to be a trifle over-bureaucratic, honeM
st and loyal than to be over-sophisticated, modem and of an inferior type of character and, as often happens to-day, ignorant and inefficient. If it be insinuated to-day that the German administration of the pre-war period may have been excellent so far as bureaucratic technique went, but that from the practical business point of view it was incompetent, I can only give the following reply: What other country in the world possessed a betterorganised and administered business enterprise than the German State RailwayM
s, for instance? It was left to the Revolution to destroy this model organisation, until the time was ripe for it to be taken out of the hands of the nation and
in the sense which the founders of the Republic had given to that word, namely, making it subservient to the International Stock Exchange capitalists, who were the wire-pullers of the German Revolution. The most outstanding trait in the civil service and the whole body of the civil administration was its independence of the vicissitudes M
of government, the political mentality of which could exercise no influence on the attitude of the German State officials.</p><blockquote><p>310</p></blockquote><p>Since the Revolution, this situation has been completely changed. Efficiency and capability have been replaced by the test of party adherence; and independence of character and initiative are no longer appreciated as positive qualities in a public official. They rather tell against him. The wonderful might and power of the old Reich was based on the monaM
rchical form of government, the Army and the civil service, of these three foundations rested that great strength which is now entirely lacking, namely, the authority of the State, for the authority of the State cannot be based on the babbling that goes on in parliament or in the provincial diets, upon laws made to protect the State, or upon sentences passed by the law courts to frighten those who have had the hardihood to deny the authority of the State, but only on the general confidence which the management and M
administration of the community establishes among the people. This confidence is, in its turn, nothing else than the result of an unshakable inner conviction that the government and administration of a country is inspired by disinterested and honest goodwill and of the feeling that the Spirit of the law is in complete harmony with the moral convictions of the people. In the long run, systems of government are not maintained by terrorism but by the belief of the people in the merits and sincerity of those who are thM
ere to administer and promote public interests. Though it is true that in the period preceding the war certain grave evils tended to infect and corrode the inner strength of the nation, it must be remembered that the other States suffered even more than Germany from these drawbacks, and yet those other States did not fail and break down when the time of crisis came. If we remember further that those defects in pre-war Germany were outweighed by great positive qualities, we shall have to look elsewhere for the real M
cause of the collapse, and it did lie elsewhere.</p><blockquote><p>311</p></blockquote><p>The ultimate and most profound reason of the German downfall is to be found in the fact that the racial problem was ignored and that its importance in the historical development of nations was not grasped, for the events that take place in the life of nations are not due to chance but are the natural results of the effort to conserve and multiply, the species and the race, even though men may not be able consciously to pictureM
in their minds the profound motives of their conduct.</p><blockquote><p>312</p></blockquote><blockquote><p>313</p></blockquote><blockquote><p>314</p></blockquote><blockquote><p>315</p></blockquote><h1 id="chapter-xi-nation-and-race">CHAPTER XI: NATION AND RACE</h1><p>There are certain truths which are so obvious that the general run of people disregard them. People are so blind to some of the simplest facts in everyday life that they are highly surprised when somebody calls attention to what everybody ought to knoM
w. Examples of the Columbus egg are around us in hundreds of thousands, but Columbuses are rare. Walking about in the garden of Nature, most men have the self-conceit to think that they know everything, yet almost all are blind to one of the outstanding principles that Nature employs in her work. This principle may be called the inner isolation which characterises each and every living species on this earth. Even a superficial glance is sufficient to show that all the innumerable forms in which the life-urge of NatM
ure manifests itself are subject to a fundamental law
one may call it an iron law of Nature
which compels the various species to keep within the definite limits of their own life-forms when propagating and multiplying their kind. Each animal mates only with one of its own species. The titmouse cohabits only with the titmouse, the finch with the finch, the stork with the stork, the field-mouse with the field-mouse, the house-mouse with the house-mouse, the wolf with the she-wolf, etc. Deviations from this law taM
ke place only in exceptional circumstances. This happens especially under the compulsion of captivity, or when some other obstacle makes procreative intercourse impossible between individuals of the same species. Nature abhors such irregular intercourse with all her might and her protest is most clearly demonstrated by the fact that the hybrid is either sterile, or the fecundity of its descendants is limited. In most cases hybrids and their progeny are denied the ordinary powers of resistance to disease or the natuM
ral means of defence against attack. Such a dispensation of Nature is quite logical. Every crossing of two</p><blockquote><p>316</p></blockquote><p>breeds which are not, of equal standing results in a product which holds an intermediate place between the levels of the two parents. This means that the offspring will indeed be superior to that parent which belongs to a biologically lower order of beings, but not so high as the superior parent. For this reason, it must eventually succumb in any struggle against the hiM
gher species. Such mating contradicts the will of Nature towards the selective improvement of life in general. The favourable preliminary to this improvement is not to mate individuals of higher and lower orders of being, but rather to allow the complete triumph of the higher order. The stronger must dominate and not mate with the weaker, which would signify the sacrifice of its own higher nature. Only the born weakling can look upon this principle as cruel, and if he does so, it is merely because he is of a feebleM
r nature and narrower mind, for if such a law did not direct the process of evolution then the higher development of organic life would not be conceivable at all. This urge for the maintenance of the unmixed breed which is a phenomenon that prevails throughout the whole of the natural world, results not only in the sharply defined outward distinction between one species and another, but also in the internal similarity of characteristic qualities which are peculiar to each breed or species. The fox remains always a M
fox, the goose remains a goose, and the tiger will retain the character of a tiger. The only difference that can exist within the species is in the various degrees of structural strength and active power, in the intelligence, efficiency, endurance, etc., with which the individual specimens are endowed. It would be impossible to find a fox which has a kindly and protective disposition towards geese, just as no cat exists which has a friendly disposition towards mice. That is why the struggle between the various specM
ies does not arise from a feeling of mutual antipathy, but rather from hunger and love.</p><blockquote><p>317</p></blockquote><p>In both cases Nature looks on calmly and is even pleased with what happens. The struggle for daily livelihood leaves behind in the ruck everything that is weak, diseased or wavering; while the fight of the male to possess the female gives to the strongest the right, or at least the possibility, to propagate its kind. This struggle is a means of furthering the health and powers of resistanM
ce of the species, thus it is one of the causes underlying the process of development towards a higher grade of being. If this were otherwise the progressive process would cease, and even retrogression might set in. Since the inferior always outnumber the superior, the former would always increase more rapidly if they possessed the same capacity for survival and for the procreation of their kind, and the final consequence would be that the best in quality would be forced to recede into the background. Therefore, a M
corrective measure must intervene in favour of the better quality. Nature supplies this by establishing rigorous conditions of life, to which the weaker will have to submit and will thereby be numerically restricted, but even that portion which survives cannot multiply indiscriminately, for here a new and rigorous selection takes place, according to strength and health. If Nature does not wish that weaker individuals should mate with stronger, she wishes even less that a superior race should intermingle with an infM
erior one, because in such a case all her efforts, throughout hundreds of thousands of years, to establish an evolutionary higher stage of being, may be rendered futile. History furnishes us with innumerable instances that prove this law. It shows, with startling clarity, that whenever Aryans have mingled their blood with that of an inferior race, the result has been the downfall of the people who were the champions of a higher culture. In North America, where the population is prevalently Teutonic, and where thoseM
elements intermingled with the inferior race only to a very small degree, we have a quality of mankind and a civilisation which are different from those of Central and South America. In these latter countries the immigrants
who belonged mainly to the Latin races
mated with the aborigines, sometimes to a very large extent indeed.</p><blockquote><p>318</p></blockquote><p>In this case, we have a clear and decisive example of the effect produced by the mixture of races. In North America the Teutonic element, whichM
has kept its racial stock pure and did not mix it with any other racial stock, has come to dominate the American Continent and will remain master of it as long as that element does not fall a victim to the habit of adulterating its blood. In short, the results of miscegenation are always the following:</p><p>(a) The level of the superior race becomes lowered.</p><p>(b) Physical and mental degeneration sets in, thus leading slowly but steadily towards a progressive drying up of the vital sap.</p><p>The act which brM
ings about such a development is a sin against the will of the Eternal Creator, and as a sin this act will be avenged. Man
s effort to build up something that contradicts the iron logic of Nature brings him into conflict with those principles to which he himself exclusively, owes his own existence. By acting against the laws of Nature he prepares the way that leads to his ruin. Here we meet with the insolent objection, which is Jewish in its inspiration and is typical of the modem pacifist, that
There are millions who repeat by rote that piece of Jewish babble and end up by imagining that somehow they themselves are the conquerors of Nature. Yet their only weapon is a mere idea, and a very preposterous idea into the bargain, because if one accepted it, then it would be impossible to form a conception of the world. The real truth is, that not only has man failed to overcome Nature in any sphere whatsoever, but that at best he has merely succeeded in getting hold of and lifting a tiny corner ofM
the enormous veil which she has spread over her eternal mysteries and secrets.</p><blockquote><p>319</p></blockquote><p>He never invents anything; all he can do is to discover something. He does not master Nature, but has only come to be master of those living beings who have not gained the knowledge he has arrived at by penetrating into some of Nature
s laws and mysteries. Apart from all this, an idea can never subject to its own sway those condition; which are necessary for the existence and development of manM
kind, for the idea itself has come only from man. Without man there would be no human idea in this world. The idea as such is, therefore, always dependent on the existence of man and is consequently dependent on those laws which furnish the conditions of his existence. Not only that. Certain ideas are even confined to certain people. This holds true with regard to those ideas, in particular, which have not their roots in objective scientific truth, but in the world of feeling. In other words, to use a phrase which M
is current to-day and which well and clearly expresses this truth: They reflect an inner experience. All such ideas, which have nothing to do with cold logic as such, but represent mere manifestations of feeling, such as ethical and moral conceptions, etc., are inextricably bound up with man
s existence. It is to the creative powers of man
s imagination that such ideas owe their existence. For this very reason, a necessary condition for the preservation of such ideas is the existence of certain races and certaiM
n types of men. For example, anyone who sincerely wishes the pacifist idea to prevail in this world ought to do all he is capable of doing to help the Germans conquer the world, for in case the reverse should happen, it may easily be that the last pacifist would disappear with the last German. I say this because, unfortunately, scarcely any other people in the world has ever fallen a prey to this nonsensical and illogical idea to the same degree as our own. Whether of the effect that outer circumstances have upon iM
t. Then, if you are serious, whether you like it or not, you must make up your mind to wage wars in order to pave the way for pacifism.</p><blockquote><p>320</p></blockquote><p>This was in factthe plan of Woodrow Wilson, the American world-redeemer (at least so our visionaries believed) and that was all that was required. The pacifist-humanitarian idea may indeed become an excellent one when the most superior type of manhood will have succeeded in subjugating the world to such an extent that this type is then sole M
master of the earth. This idea could have an injurious effect only in the measure in which its application became difficult and finally impossible. So, first of all, the fight, and then pacifism. If it were otherwise, it would mean that mankind has already passed the zenith of its development, and accordingly, the end would not be the supremacy of some moral ideal, but degeneration into barbarism and consequent chaos. People may laugh at this statement, but our planet moved through space for millions of years, uninM
habited by men, and at some future date may easily begin to do so again, if men should forget that wherever they have reached a superior level of existence, it was not as a result of following the ideas of crazy visionaries but by acknowledging and rigorously observing the iron laws of Nature. What reduces one race to starvation stimulates another to harder work. All the great civilisations of the past became decadent because the originally creative race died out, as a result of contamination of the blood. The mostM
profound cause of such a decline is to be found in the fact that the people ignored the principle that all culture depends on men, and not the reverse. In other words, in order to preserve a certain culture, the type of manhood that creates such a culture must be preserved, but such a preservation goes hand in hand with the inexorable law that it is the strongest and the best who must triumph and that they have the right to endure. He who would live must fight. He who does not wish to fight in this world, where peM
rmanent struggle is the law of life, has not the right to exist. Such a saying may sound hard, but, after all, that is how the matter really stands. Yet far harder is the lot of him who believes that he can overcome Nature, and thus in reality insults her. Distress, misery, and disease, are her rejoinders.</p><blockquote><p>321</p></blockquote><p>Whoever ignores or despises the laws of race really deprives himself of the happiness to which he believes he can attain, for he places an obstacle in the victorious path M
of the superior race and, by so doing, he interferes with a prerequisite condition of, all human progress. Loaded with the burden of human sentiment, he falls back to the level of a helpless animal. It would be futile to attempt to discuss the question as to what race or races were the original champions of human culture and were thereby the real founders of all that we understand by the word
It is much simpler to deal with this question in so far as it relates to the present time. Here the answer iM
s simple and clear. Every manifestation of human culture, every product of art, science and technical skill, which we see before our eyes to-day, is almost, exclusively the product of the Aryan creative power. All that we admire in the world to-day, its science and its art, its technical developments and discoveries, are the products of the creative activities of a few peoples, and it may be true that their first beginnings must be attributed to one race. The existence of civilisation is wholly dependent on such peM
oples. Should they perish, all that makes this earth beautiful will descend with them into the grave. However great, for example, be the influence which the soil exerts on men, this influence will always vary according to the race on which it produces its effect. Dearth of soil may stimulate one race to the most strenuous efforts and highest achievements; while, for another race, the poverty of the soil may be the cause of misery, and finally of undernourishment, with all its consequence. This very fact fully justiM
fies the conclusion that it was the Aryan alone who founded a superior type of humanity; therefore he represents the archetype of what, we understand by the term: MAN. He is the Prometheus of mankind, from whose shining brow the divine spark of genius has at all times flashed forth, always kindling anew that fire which, in the form of knowledge, illuminated the dark night by drawing aside the veil of mystery and thus showing man how to rise and become master over all the other beings on the earth.</p><blockquote><pM
>322</p></blockquote><p>Should he be forced to disappear, a profound darkness will descend on the earth; within a few thousand years human culture will vanish and the world will become a desert. If we divide mankind into three categories
founders of culture, champions of culture, and destroyers of culture
the Aryan alone can be considered as representing the first category. It was he who laid the groundwork and erected the walls of every great structure in human culture. Only the shape and colour of such structM
ures are to be attributed to the individual characteristics of the various nations. It is the Aryan who has furnished the great building-stones and plans for the edifices of all human progress; only the way in which these plans have been executed is to be attributed to the traits of each individual race. Within a few decades the whole of Eastern Asia, for instance, appropriated a culture and called this culture its own, whereas the basis of that culture was the Greek mind and Teutonic technical skill as we know it.M
Only the external form
at least to a certain degree
shows the traits of an Asiatic inspiration. It is not true, as some believe, that Japan adds European technology to a culture of her own. The truth rather is that European science and technology are just decked out with the peculiar characteristics of Japanese civilisation. The foundations of actual life in Japan to-day are not those of the native Japanese culture, although this characterises the external features of the country, which features strike the eyeM
of European observers on account of their fundamental difference from our own; but the real foundations of contemporary Japanese life are the enormous scientific and technical achievements of Europe and America, that is to say, of Aryan peoples. Only by adopting these achievements as the foundations of their own progress can the various nations of the Orient take a place in contemporary world progress. The scientific and technical achievements of Europe and America provide the basis on which the struggle for dailyM
livelihood is carried on in the Orient. They provide the necessary arms and instruments for this struggle, and only the outer forms of these instruments have become gradually adapted to Japanese ways of life.</p><blockquote><p>323</p></blockquote><p>If, from to-day onwards, the Aryan influence on Japan were to cease, and if we suppose that Europe and America were to collapse, then the present progress of Japan in science and technique might still last for a short duration; but within a few decades the inspiration M
would dry up, and native Japanese character would triumph, while the present civilisation would become fossilised and fall back into the sleep from which it was aroused about seventy years ago, by the impact of Aryan culture. We may, therefore, draw the conclusion that, just as the present Japanese development has been due to Aryan influence, so in the immemorial past an outside influence and an outside culture brought into existence the Japanese culture of that day. This opinion is very strongly supported by the fM
act that the ancient civilisation of Japan actually became fossilised and petrified. Such a process can take place only if a people loses the racial cell which had originally been creative, or if the outside influence should be withdrawn after having awakened and maintained the first cultural developments in that region. If it be shown that a people owes the fundamental elements of its culture to foreign races, assimilating and elaborating such elements, and if subsequently that culture becomes fossilised whenever M
the external influence ceases, then such a race may be called the champion, but never the creator, of a culture. If we subject the different peoples to a strict test from this standpoint, we shall find that scarcely any one of them has originally created a culture, but almost all have been merely the recipients of a culture created elsewhere. This development may be depicted as always happening somewhat in the following way. Aryan tribes, often almost ridiculously small in number, subjugated foreign peoples and, stM
imulated by the conditions of life which their new country offered them (fertility, the nature of the climate, etc.), and profiting also by the abundance of manual labour furnished them by the inferior race, they developed intellectual and organising faculties which had hitherto been dormant in themselves.</p><blockquote><p>324</p></blockquote><p>Within the course of a few thousand years, or even centuries, they gave life to cultures whose characteristics completely corresponded to the character of the founders, thM
ough modified by adaptation to the peculiarities of the soil and the characteristics of the subjugated people. But finally the conquering race offended against the principles which they had first observed, namely, the preservation of their racial stock unmixed, and began to intermingle with the subjugated people. Thus they put an end to their own separate existence, for the original sin committed in Paradise has always been followed by the expulsion of the guilty parties. After a thousand years or more the last visM
ible traces of those former masters may then be found in a lighter tint of the skin which the Aryan blood had bequeathed to the subjugated race, and in a fossilised culture of which those Aryans had been the original creators; for, just as the blood of the conqueror, who was a conqueror not only in body but also in spirit, became submerged in the blood of the subject race, so the substance disappeared from which the torch of human culture and progress was kindled. In so far as the blood of the former ruling race haM
s left a light nuance of colour in the blood of its descendants, as a token and a memory, the night of cultural life is rendered less dim and dark by a mild light radiated from the products of those who were the bearers of the original fire. Their radiance shines across the barbarism to which the subjected race has reverted and might often lead the superficial observer to believe that he sees before him an image of the present race, when he is really looking into a mirror, wherein only the past is reflected. It mayM
happen that in the course of their history such a people will come into contact a second time, and even oftener, with the original founders of their culture and may not even remember that distant association. Instinctively, the remnants of blood, left from that old ruling race will be drawn towards this new phenomenon, and what had formerly been possible only under compulsion, can now be successfully achieved in a voluntary way. A new cultural wave flows in and lasts until the blood of those who brought it becomesM
once again adulterated by intermixture with the originally conquered race.</p><blockquote><p>325</p></blockquote><p>It will be the task of those who set themselves to write a universal history of civilisation, to investigate history from this point of view instead of allowing themselves to be smothered under the mass of external data, as is only too often the case with our present historical science. This short sketch of the changes that take place among those races that are only the depositories of a culture, alsM
o furnishes a picture of the development, the activity and the disappearance of those who are the true founders of culture on this earth, namely the Aryans themselves. Just as in our daily life the so-called man of genius needs a particular occasion, and sometimes needs a special stimulus to bring his genius to light, so too, in the life of the peoples the race that has genius in it needs the occasion and stimulus to give that genius expression. In the monotony and routine of everyday life even persons of significaM
nce seem just like the others and do not rise beyond the average level of their fellow-men, but as soon as such men find themselves in a special situation which disconcerts and unbalances the others, the humble person of apparently common qualities reveals traits of genius often to the amazement of those who have hitherto known him in the petty round of everyday life. That is the reason why a prophet is seldom honoured in his own country. War offers an excellent occasion for observing this phenomenon. In times of dM
istress, when the others despair, apparently harmless, boys suddenly spring up and become heroes, full of determination, undaunted in the presence of Death and manifesting wonderful powers of calm reflection in such circumstances. If such an hour of trial did not come, nobody would have thought that the soul of a hero lurked in the body of that beardless youth. A special impulse is, almost always necessary to bring a man of genius into the foreground. The sledge-hammer of Fate, which strikes down the one so easily,M
suddenly finds the counter-impact of steel when it strikes at the other, and, after the common shell of everyday life is broken, the core that lay hidden is displayed to the eyes of an astonished world. This surrounding world then grows perverse and will not believe that what had seemed so like itself is really of that different quality so suddenly displayed.</p><blockquote><p>326</p></blockquote><p>This is a process which is repeated probably every time a man of outstanding significance appears. Though an inventoM
r, for example, does not establish his fame until the very day on which he completes his invention, it would be a mistake to believe that the creative genius did not become alive in him until that moment. From the very hour of his birth the spark of genius is alive within the man who has been endowed with the real creative faculty. True genius is an innate quality. It can never be the result of education or training. As I have stated already, this holds good not merely of the individual, but also of the race. ThoseM
peoples who manifest creative ability in certain periods of their history have always been fundamentally creative. It belongs to their very nature, even though this fact may escape the eyes of the superficial observer. Here also, recognition from outside is only the consequence of practical achievement. Since the rest of the world is incapable of recognising genius as such, it can only see the visible manifestations of genius in the form of inventions, discoveries, buildings, painting, etc., but even here a long tM
ime passes before recognition is given. Just as the individual person who has been endowed with the gift of genius, or at least talent of a very high order, cannot develop that gift to the full, until he comes under the urge of special circumstances, so in the life of the nations their creative capacities and powers frequently have to wait until certain conditions stimulate them to action. The most obvious example of this truth is furnished by that race which has been, and still is, the champion of human progress; M
I mMean the Aryan race. As soon as Fate brings them face to face with special circumstances their powers begin to develop progressively and to be manifested in tangible form. The characteristic cultures which they create in such circumstances are almost always conditioned by the soil, the climate and the people they subjugate.</p><blockquote><p>327</p></blockquote><p>The last factor
that of the character of the people
is the most decisive one. The more primitive the technical condition under which the civilizinM
g process takes place, the more necessary the existence of manual labour which can be organised and employed so as to take the place of mechanical power. Had it not been possible for them to employ members of the inferior race which they conquered, the Aryans would never have been in a position to take the first steps on the road which led them to their culture of a later era; just as, without the help of certain suitable animals, which they were able to tame, they would never have come to the invention of mechanicM
al power, which has subsequently enabled them to do without these animals. The remark that the Moor, having lone his duty, could now go, can, unfortunately, be applied more or less universally. For thousands of years the horse has been the faithful servant of man and has helped him to lay the foundations of human progress; but now, motor power has rendered the horse superfluous. In a few years
time the use of the horse will cease entirely; and yet without its collaboration man could scarcely have reached the staM
ge of development at which he now is. For the establishment of superior types of civilisation the members of inferior races formed one of the most essential prerequisites. They alone could supply the lack of mechanical means, without which no progress is possible. It is certain that the first stages of human civilisation were not based so much on the use of tame animals as on the employment of human beings who were members of an inferior race. Only after subjugated races were employed as slaves was a similar fate aM
llotted to animals, and not vice versa, as some people would have us believe. At first it was the conquered enemy who had to draw the plough and only afterwards did the ox and horse take his place. Nobody but puling pacifists can consider this fact a sign of human degradation. Such people fail to recognise that this evolution had to take place in order that man might reach that degree of civilisation which these apostles now exploit in an attempt to make the world pay attention to their rigmarole.</p><blockquote><pM
>328</p></blockquote><p>The progress of mankind may be compared to the process of ascending an infinite ladder. One does not reach the higher level without first having climbed the lower rungs. The Aryan, therefore, had to take that road which his sense of reality pointed out to him, and not that of which the modern pacifist dreams. The path of reality is, however, difficult and hard to tread; yet it is the only one which finally leads to the goal where the others envisage mankind in their dreams. The real truth isM
that those dreamers help to lead man away from his goal rather than towards it. It was not by mere chance that the first forms of civilisation arose where the Aryan came into contact with inferior races, subjugated them and forced them to obey his command. The members of the inferior race became the first mechanical tools in the service of a growing civilisation. Thereby the way was clearly indicated which the Aryan had to follow. As a conqueror, he subjugated inferior races and turned their physical powers into oM
rganised channels under his own leadership, forcing them to follow his will and purpose. By imposing on them a useful, though hard, manner of employing their powers, he not only spared the lives of those whom he had conquered, but probably made their lives easier than they had been in the former state of so-called
While he ruthlessly maintained his, position as their master, he not only remained master, but he also preserved and advanced civilisation, for this depended exclusively on his inborn abiliM
ties and, therefore, on the preservation of the Aryan race as such. As soon, however, as his subjects began to rise and approach the level of their conqueror, a phase of which ascension was probably the use of his language, the barriers that had distinguished master from servant broke down. The Aryan neglected to maintain his own racial stock unmixed and thereby lost the right to live in the paradise which he himself had created.</p><blockquote><p>329</p></blockquote><p>He became submerged in the racial mixture andM
gradually lost his cultural creativeness, until he finally grew, not only mentally but also physically, more like the aborigines whom he had subjected, rather than his own ancestors. For some time he could continue to live on the capital of that culture which still remained; but a condition of fossilisation soon set in and he sank into oblivion. That is how cultures and empires decline and yield their places to new structures. The adulteration of the blood and racial deterioration conditioned thereby are the only M
causes that account for the decline of ancient civilisations, for it is never by war that nations are ruined, but by the loss of their powers of resistance, which are exclusively a characteristic of pure racial blood. In this world everything that is not of sound racial stock is like chaff. Every historical event in the world is nothing more nor less than a manifestation of the instinct of racial self-preservation, whether for weal or woe. The question as to the basic reasons for the predominant importance of AryanM
ism can be answered by pointing out that it is not so much that the Aryans are endowed with a stronger instinct for self-preservation, but rather that this manifests itself in a way which is peculiar to themselves. Considered from the subjective standpoint, the will to live is, of course, equally strong all round and only the forms in which it is expressed are different. Among the most primitive organisms the instinct for self-preservation does not extend beyond the care of the individual ego. Egotism, as we call tM
his passion, is so predominant that it includes even the time element, which means that the present moment is deemed the most important and that nothing is left to the future. The animal lives only for itself, searching for food only when it feels hunger, and fighting only for the preservation of its own life. As long as the instinct for self-preservation manifests itself exclusively in such a way, there is no basis for the establishment of a community, not even the most primitive form of all, that is to say, the fM
amily.</p><blockquote><p>330</p></blockquote><p>The community formed by the male with the female, where it goes beyond the mere conditions of mating, calls for the extension of the instinct of self-preservation, since the readiness to fight for one
s own ego has to be extended also to the mate. The male sometimes provides food for the female, but in most cases both parents provide food for the offspring. Almost always they are ready to protect and defend each other, so that here we find the first, though infiniteM
ly simple, manifestation of the spirit of sacrifice. As soon as this spirit extends beyond the narrow limits of the family, we have the conditions under which a larger community and finally even States can be formed. The lowest species of human beings give evidence of this quality only to a very small degree, so that often they do not go beyond the foundation of the family. With an increasing readiness to place their immediate personal interests in the background, the capacity for organising more extensive communitM
ies develops. The readiness to sacrifice one
s personal work and, if necessary, even one
s life, for others shows its most highly developed form in the Aryan race. The greatness of the Aryan is not based on his intellectual powers, but rather on his willingness to devote all his faculties to the service of the community. Here the instinct for self-preservation has reached its noblest form, for the Aryan willingly subordinates his own ego to the common weal and, when necessity calls, he will even sacrifice his oM
wn life for the community. The constructive powers of the Aryan and that peculiar ability he has for the building up of a culture are not grounded in his intellectual gifts alone. If that were so, he might only be destructive and could never have the ability to organise; for the essence of organising activity consists in the readiness of the individual to renounce his own personal opinions and interests and to lay both at the service of the human group.</p><blockquote><p>331</p></blockquote><p>By serving the commonM
weal he receives his reward in return; he does not, for example, work directly for himself but makes his productive work a part of the activity of the group to which he belongs, not only for his own benefit but for the general welfare. The spirit underlying this attitude is expressed by the word, WORK which to him does not at all signify a means of earning one
s daily livelihood but rather a productive activity which cannot clash with the interests of the community. Whenever human activity, is directed exclusiveM
ly to the service of the instinct for self-preservation, regardless of the general weal, it is called theft, usury, robbery, burglary, and so on. This mental attitude, which forces self-interest to recede into the background in favour of the common weal, is the first prerequisite for any kind of really human civilisation. It is out of this spirit alone that great human achievements have sprung, for which the original doers have scarcely ever received any recompense, but which turn out to be the source of abundant bM
enefit for their descendants. It is this spirit alone which can explain why it so often happens that people can endure a harsh but honest existence which offers them no return for their toil except a poor and modest livelihood, but such a livelihood helps to consolidate the foundations on which the community exists. Every worker, every peasant, every inventor, every government official, etc., who works without ever achieving fortune or prosperity for himself, is a representative of this sublime ideal, even though hM
e may never become conscious of the profound meaning of his own activity. Everything that may be said of that kind of work which is the fundamental condition for providing food and the basic means of human progress is true even in a higher sense of work that is done for the protection of man and his civilisation. The renunciation of one
s own life for the sake of the community is the crowning significance of the idea of all sacrifice. In this way only is it possible to protect what has been built up by man and toM
ensure that this will not be destroyed by the hand of man or of Nature. In the German language we have a word which admirably expresses the significance underlying all work.</p><blockquote><p>332</p></blockquote><p>It is Pflichterf
llung (fulfilment of duty), which means the service of the common weal before the consideration of one
s own interests. The fundamental spirit out of which this kind of activity springs is the reverse of
By this we mean to signify the wilM
lingness of the individual to, make sacrifices for the community and his fellow-men. It is of the utmost importance to insist again and again, that idealism is not merely a superfluous manifestation of sentiment, but rather something which has been, is and always will be, a necessary pre-condition of human civilisation; it is to this that the very conception
owes its origin. To this kind of mentality the Aryan owes his position in the world, and, the world is indebted to the Aryan mind for having develoM
for it was out of this spirit alone that the creative force grew, which in a unique way, combined robust muscular power with a first-class intellect, and thus created the monuments of human civilisation. Were it not for idealism, all the faculties of the intellect, even the most brilliant, would be nothing but intellect itself, a mere external phenomenon without inner value, and never a creative force. Since true idealism, however, is essentially the subordination of the interests M
and life of the individual to the interests and life of the community, and since this subordination in turn represents the prerequisite condition for every form of organisation, this idealism accords in its innermost essence with the final purpose of Nature. This idealism alone makes men voluntarily acknowledge, that strength and power are entitled to take the lead and makes them a constituent particle of that order out of which the whole universe is shaped and formed. Without being conscious of it, the purest ideaM
lism is always associated with the most profound knowledge. How True this is and how little genuine idealism has to do with fantastic self-dramatization will become clear the moment we ask an unspoilt child, a healthy boy, for example, to give his opinion. The very same boy who listens to the rantings of an
pacifist without understanding them, and even rejects them, would readily sacrifice his young life for the ideal of his people.</p><blockquote><p>333</p></blockquote><p>Unconsciously, his instinM
ct will submit to the knowledge that the preservation of the species, even at the cost of the individual life, is a primal necessity and he will protest against the fantasies of pacifist ranters, who are in reality nothing better than cowardly, though camouflaged, egotists, who contradict the laws of human development. It is an essential aspect of human evolution that the individual should be imbued with the spirit of sacrifice in favour of the common weal that he: should not be influenced by the morbid notions of M
those who pretend to know better than Nature and who have the impudence to criticise her decrees. It is just at those junctures when the idealistic attitude threatens to disappear that we notice a weakening of this force which is a necessary constituent in the founding and maintenance of the community and is therefore a necessary condition of civilisation. As soon as the spirit of egotism begins to prevail among a people, then the bonds of the social order break, and man, by seeking his own personal happiness, tumbM
les out of heaven and falls into hell. Posterity will not remember those who pursued only their own individual interests, but it will praise those heroes who renounced their own happiness. The Jew offers the most striking contrast to the Aryan. There is probably no other people in the world which has so developed the instinct of self-preservation as the so-called
race. The best proof of this statement is to be found in the simple fact that this race still exists. Where is another people to be found thaM
t in the course of the last two thousand years has undergone so few changes in mental, outlook and character as the
Jewish people? And yet what other people has played such a constant part in the great revolutions? Even after having passed through the most gigantic catastrophes that have overwhelmed mankind, the Jews remain the same as ever. What an infinitely tenacious will to live, to preserve one
s kind, is demonstrated by that fact!</p><blockquote><p>334</p></blockquote><p>The intellectual faculties of theM
Jew have been trained throughout thousands of years. To-day the Jew is looked upon as especially
and in a certain sense, he has been so throughout the ages. His intellectual powers, however, are not the result of an inner evolution but have rather been shaped by the object lessons which he has received from others. The human spirit cannot climb upwards without taking successive steps. For every step upwards it needs the foundation of what has been constructed before, namely, the past, which, in the coM
mprehensive sense here employed, can have been laid only by a general civilisation. All thinking originates only to a very small degree in personal experience. The largest part is based on the accumulated experiences of the past. The general level of civilisation provides the individual, who, in most cases, is not consciously aware of the fact, with such an abundance of preliminary knowledge, that with this equipment he can more easily take further steps on the road of progress. The boy of to-day, for example, growM
s up among such an overwhelming mass of technical achievement, which has accumulated during the last century, that he takes for granted many things which, a hundred years ago, were still mysteries even to the greatest minds of those times. Yet these things that are now so much a matter of course are of enormous importance to those who would understand the progress we have made in certain spheres and would carry that progress a step farther. If a man of genius belonging to the twenties of the last century were to riM
se from his grave to-day, he would find it more difficult to understand our present age than the contemporary boy of fifteen years of age who may even have only an average intelligence. The man of genius, thus come back from the past, would need to provide himself with an extraordinary, amount of preliminary information which our contemporary youth receives automatically, so to speak, during the time it is growing up among the products of our modern civilisation. Since the Jew
for reasons that I shall deal with iM
never had a civilisation of his own, he has always been furnished by others with a basis for his intellectual work.</p><blockquote><p>335</p></blockquote><p>His intellect has always been developed by the use of those cultural achievements which he has found ready to hand around him. The process has never been the reverse. Although among the Jews the instinct of self-preservation has not been weaker, but much stronger than among other peoples, and although the impression may easily be created that the iM
ntellectual powers of the Jew are at least equal to those of other races, the Jews completely lack the most essential prerequisite of a cultural people, namely, the idealistic spirit. With the Jewish people the spirit of self-sacrifice does not extend beyond the simple instinct of individual preservation. In their case, the feeling of racial solidarity which they apparently manifest, is nothing but a very primitive gregarious instinct, similar to that which may be found among other organisms in this world. It is a M
remarkable fact that this herd instinct brings individuals together for mutual protection, only as long as there is a common danger which makes mutual assistance expedient or inevitable. The same pack of wolves which, a moment ago, joined together in a common attack on their victim will dissolve into individual wolves as soon as their hunger has been satisfied. This is also true of horses, which unite to defend themselves against any aggressor, but separate the moment the danger is over. It is much the same with thM
e Jew. His spirit of sacrifice is only apparent. It manifests itself only as long as the existence of the individual makes this a matter of absolute necessity, but as soon as the common foe is conquered, the danger which threatened the individual Jew overcome and the prey secured, then the apparent harmony disappears and the original conditions obtain again. Jews act in concord only when a common danger threatens them or a common prey attracts them. Where these two motives no longer exist, then the most brutal egotM
ism appears and these people, who had previously lived together in unity, will turn into a swarm of rats that fight bitterly against each other.</p><blockquote><p>336</p></blockquote><p>If the Jews were the only people in the world, they would be wallowing in filth and mire and would exploit one another and try to exterminate one another in a bitter struggle, except in so far as their utter lack of the ideal of sacrifice, which shows itself in their cowardly spirit, would prevent this struggle from developing. It wM
ould, therefore, be a complete mistake to interpret the mutual help, which the Jews render one another when they have to fight or, to put it more accurately, to exploit their fellow-beings, as the expression of a certain idealistic spirit of sacrifice. Here again, the Jew merely follows the call of his individual egotism. That is why the Jewish State, which ought to be a vital organisation to serve the purpose of preserving or increasing the race, has absolutely no territorial boundaries, for the territorial delimiM
tation of a State always demands a certain idealism of spirit on the part of the race which forms that State, and especially a proper acceptance of the idea of work. A State which is territorially delimited cannot be established or maintained, unless the general attitude towards work is a positive one. If this attitude is lacking, then the necessary basis of a civilisation is also lacking. That is why the Jewish people, despite the intellectual powers with which they are apparently endowed, have not a culture, certM
ainly not a culture of their own. The culture which the Jew enjoys to-day is the product of the work of others and this product is debased in the hands of the Jew. In order to form a correct judgment of the place which the Jew holds in relation to the whole problem of human civilisation, we must bear in mind the essential fact that there never has been any Jewish art, and consequently that nothing of this kind exists to-day. We must realise that, especially in the two royal domains of art, namely, architecture and M
music, the Jew has done no original creative work. When the Jew comes to producing something in the field of art he merely
from something already in existence, or simply steals the intellectual work of others. The Jew essentially lacks the qualities which are characteristic of those creative races that are the founders of civilisation.</p><blockquote><p>337</p></blockquote><p>To what extent the Jew appropriates the civilisation built up by others
or to speak more accurately, corrupts it,
ated by the fact that he cultivates chiefly the art which calls for the smallest amount of original invention, namely the dramatic arts, and even here, he is nothing better than a kind of juggler or, perhaps more correctly, a kind of monkey imitator, for in this domain also he lacks the creative
lan which is necessary for the production of all really great work. Even here, therefore, he is not a creative genius, but rather a superficial imitator who, in spite of all his retouching and tricks, cannot disguise the M
fact that there is no inner vitality in the shape he gives his products. At this juncture, the Jewish press comes in and renders friendly assistance by shouting hosannas over the head of even the most ordinary bungler of a Jew, until the rest of the world is persuaded into thinking that the object of so much praise must really be an artist, whereas in reality, he may be nothing more than a low-class mimic. The Jews have not the creative ability which is necessary for the founding of a civilisation, for in them therM
e is not, and never hits been, that spirit of idealism which is an absolutely necessary element in the higher development of mankind. Therefore, the Jewish intellect will never be constructive, but always destructive. At best, it may serve as a stimulus in rare cases, but only in the limited meaning of the poet
The Power which always wills the bad, and always works the good
se will und stets das Gute schafft.</i>). It is not through him, but in spite of him, that mankind makes progM
ress. Since the Jew has never had a State which was based on territorial delimitations, and therefore never a civilisation of his own, the idea arose that here we were dealing with a people who had to be considered as nomads. That is a great and mischievous mistake. The true nomad does actually possess a definite delimited territory where he lives. It is merely that he does not cultivate it, as the settled farmer does, but that he lives on the products of his herds with which he wanders over his domain. The naturalM
reason for this mode of existence is to be found in the fact that the soil is not fertile and that it does not give the steady produce which makes a fixed abode possible.</p><blockquote><p>338</p></blockquote><p>Outside of this natural cause, however, there is a more profound cause, namely, that no mechanical civilisation is at hand to make up for the natural poverty of the region in question. There are territories where the Aryan can establish fixed settlements by means of the technical skill which he has developM
ed in the course of more than a thousand years, even though these territories would otherwise have to be abandoned, unless the Aryan were willing to wander about them in nomadic fashion, but age-long tradition of settled residence have made the nomadic life unbearable for him. We ought to remember that during the first period of American colonisation, numerous Aryans earned their daily livelihood as trappers, hunters, etc., frequently wandering about in large groups with their women and children, their mode of exisM
tence very much resembling that of ordinary nomads. The moment, however, that they grew more numerous and were able to accumulate larger resources, they cleared the land and drove out the aborigines, at the same time establishing settlements which rapidly increased all over the country. The Aryan himself was probably at first, a nomad and became a settler in the course of the ages, but yet he was never of the Jewish kind. The Jew is not a nomad, for the nomad has already a definite attitude towards the concept of
and this attitude served as the basis of a later cultural development when the necessary intellectual conditions existed. There is a certain amount of idealism in the general attitude of the nomad, even though it is rather primitive. His whole character may, therefore, be foreign to Aryan feeling, but it will never be repulsive. Not even the slightest trace of idealism exists, however, in the Jewish character. The Jew has never been a nomad, but always a parasite, battening on the substance of others. IfM
he occasionally abandoned regions where he had hitherto lived, he did not do it voluntarily. He did it because, from time to time, he was driven out by people who were tired of having their hospitality, abused by such guests. Jewish self-expansion is a parasitic phenomenon, since the Jew is always looking for
for his race.</p><blockquote><p>339</p></blockquote><p>But this has nothing to do with nomadic life as such, because the Jew does not ever think of leaving a territory which he has once occM
upied. He sticks where he is with such tenacity that he can hardly be driven out even by superior physical force. He expands into new territories only when certain conditions for his existence are provided therein; but even then
he will not change his former abode. He is, and remains, a parasite, a sponger who, like a pernicious bacillus, spreads over wider and wider areas according as some favourable area attracts him. The effect produced by his presence is also like that of the vampire, for wM
herever he establishes himself the people who grant him hospitality are bound to be bled to death sooner or later. Thus the Jew has at all times lived in States that have belonged to other rags, and within the organisation of those States, he has formed a State of his own, which is, however, hidden behind the mask of a
religious community,
as long as external circumstances do not make it advisable for this community to declare its true nature. As soon as the Jew feels himself sufficiently established in his pM
osition to be able to hold it without a disguise, he lifts the mask and suddenly appears in the character which so many did not formerly believe or wish to see, namely, that of the Jew. The life which the Jew lives as a parasite thriving on the substance of other nations and States has resulted in developing that specific character which Schopenhauer once described when he spoke of the Jew as
the great master of lies.
The kind of existence which he leads, forces the Jew to the systematic use of falsehood, jusM
t as naturally as the inhabitants of northern climates are forced to wear warm clothes. He can live among other nations and States only as long as he succeeds in persuading them that the Jews are not a distinct people, but the representatives of a religious faith who thus constitute a
religious community,
though this is of a peculiar character. As a matter of fact, however, this is the first of his great falsehoods. He is obliged to conceal his own particular character and mode of life, in order that he may bM
e allowed to continue his existence as a parasite among the nations.</p><blockquote><p>340</p></blockquote><p>The greater the intelligence of the individual Jew, the better will he succeed in deceiving others. His success in this line may even go so far that the people who grant him hospitality are led to believe that the Jew among them is a genuine Frenchman, for instance, or Englishman or German or Italian, who just happens to belong to a religious denomination which is different from that prevailing in these couM
ntries. Especially in circles concerned with the executive administration of the State, where the officials generally have only a minimum of historical sense, the Jew is able to impose his infamous deception with comparative ease. In these circles, independent thinking is considered a sin against the sacred rules according to which official promotion takes place. It is, therefore, not surprising that even to-day in the Bavarian government offices, for example, there is not the slightest suspicion that the Jews formM
a distinct nation in themselves and are not merely the adherents of a
though one glance at the press which belongs to the Jews ought to furnish sufficient evidence to the contrary even for those who possess only the smallest degree of intelligence.<i>The Jewish Echo</i>, however, is not an official gazette and therefore not authoritative in the eyes of these government potentates. The Jews have always been a people of a definite racial character and never merely the adherents of a religion. At a M
very early date, urged on by the desire to make their way in the world, they began to cast about for a means whereby they might distract such attention as might prove inconvenient for them. What could be more effective, and at the same time above suspicion, than to borrow and utilise the idea of the religious community? Here also everything is copied, or rather stolen, for the Jew could not possess any religious institution which had developed out of his own consciousness, seeing that he lacks every kind of idealisM
m, which means that belief in a life beyond this terrestrial existence is foreign to him. In the Aryan mind no religion can ever be imagined unless it embodies the conviction that life in some form of other will continue after death.</p><blockquote><p>341</p></blockquote><p>As a matter of fact, the Talmud is not a book that lays down principles according to which the individual should prepare for the life to come. It only furnishes rules for a practical and convenient life in this world. The religious teaching of tM
he Jews is principally a collection of instructions for maintaining the Jewish blood pure and for regulating intercourse between Jew and Jew and between Jews and the rest of the world, that is to say non-Jews. The Jewish religious teaching is not concerned with moral problems. It is concerned rather with economic problems, and very petty ones at that. In regard to the moral value of the religious teaching of the Jews there exist, and always have existed, exhaustive studies (not from the Jewish side, for whatever thM
e Jews have written on this question has naturally always been of a tendentious character), which show up the kind of religion that the Jews have in a light which makes it look very uncanny to the Aryan mind. The Jew himself is the best example of the kind of product which this religious training evolves. His life is of this world only and his mentality is as foreign to the true spirit of Christianity, as his character was foreign to the great Founder of the new creed two thousand years ago. The Founder of ChristiaM
nity made no secret of His estimation of the Jewish people; when He found it necessary, He drove those enemies of the human race out of the Temple of God, because then, as always, they used religion as a means of advancing their commercial interests. At that time Christ was nailed to the Cross for his attitude towards the Jews, whereas our modern Christians enter into party politics, and when elections are being held they debase themselves to beg for Jewish votes. They even enter into political intrigues with the aM
theistic Jewish parties against the interests of their own Christian nation. On this first and fundamental lie, the purpose of which is to make people believe that Jewry is not a people, but a religion, other lies are subsequently based. One of these further lies concerns, for example, the language spoken by the Jew.</p><blockquote><p>342</p></blockquote><p>For him language is not an instrument for the expression of his inner thoughts, but rather a means of cloaking them. When talking French his thoughts are JewishM
, and when writing German rhymes he only gives expression to the character of his own race. As long as the Jew has not succeeded in mastering other peoples, he is forced to speak their language whether he likes it or not, but the moment that the world became the slave of the Jew, it would have to learn some universal language (Esperanto, for example), so that by this means the Jew could dominate it the more easily. How much the whole existence of this people is based on a permanent falsehood is proved in a unique wM
The Protocols of the Elders of Zion,
which are so violently repudiated by the Jews. With groans and moans, the<i>Frankfurter Zeitung</i>repeats again and again that these are forgeries. This alone is evidence in favour of their authenticity. What many Jews unconsciously wish to do is here clearly set forth. It is not necessary to ask out of what Jewish brain these revelations sprang, but what is of vital interest is that they disclose, with an almost terrifying precision, the mentality and methods of acM
tion characteristic of the Jewish people and these writings expound, in all their various aspects, the final aims towards which the Jews are striving. The study of real happenings, however, is the best way of judging the authenticity of these documents. If the historical developments, which have taken place within the last century, be studied in the light of this book, we shall understand why the Jewish press incessantly repudiates and denounces it, for the Jewish peril will be stamped out the moment the general puM
blic comes into possession of that book and understands it. In order to get to know the Jew properly, it is necessary to study the road which he has been following among the other peoples during the last few centuries. One example will suffice to make this clear. Since his career has been the same throughout the ages
just as the people at whose expense he has lives, have remained the same
it will be best for the purpose of making the requisite analysis, to mark his progress by stages. For the sake of simplicityM
, we shall indicate these stages by letters of the alphabet.</p><blockquote><p>343</p></blockquote><p>The first Jews came into what was then called Germanic during the period of the Roman invasion, and, as usual, they came as merchants. During the turmoil caused by the great migrations of the German tribes the Jews seem to have disappeared. We may, therefore, consider the period when the Germans formed the first political communities as the beginning of that process whereby Central and Northern Europe were again, aM
nd this time permanently, Judaised. A development then began which has always been the same or similar, wherever and whenever Jews came into contact with Aryan peoples.</p><p>(a) As soon as the first permanent settlements had been established, the Jew was suddenly
He arrived as a merchant and, in the beginning, did not trouble to disguise his nationality. He still remained openly a Jew, partly it may be, because his appearance betrayed the racial difference between him and the people of the country in M
which he dwelt, or because he knew too little of the language. It may also be that people of other races refused to mix with him, so that he could not very well adopt any other pose than that of a foreign merchant. Because of his subtlety and cunning and the lack of experience on the part of the people whose guest he became, it was not to his disadvantage openly to retain his Jewish character. This may even have been advantageous to him, for the foreigner was received kindly.</p><p>(b) Slowly but steadily, he beganM
to take part in the economic life around him, not as a producer, however, but only as a middleman. His commercial cunning, acquired through thousands of years of negotiation as an intermediary, made him superior in this field to the Aryans, who were still quite ingenuous and indeed clumsy, and whose honesty was unlimited, so that after a short time commerce seemed destined to become, a Jewish monopoly. The Jew began by lending out money and, as usual, at a usurious rate of interest. It was he who first introduced M
the payment of interest on borrowed money.</p><blockquote><p>344</p></blockquote><p>The danger which this innovation involved was not at first recognised; indeed, the innovation was welcomed, because it offered momentary advantages.</p><p>(c) At this stage the Jew had become firmly settled; that is to say, he inhabited special sections of the cities and towns and had his own quarter in the market-towns. Thus he gradually came to form a State within the State. He came to look upon the commercial domain and all monetM
ary transactions, as a privilege belonging exclusively to himself, and exploited it ruthlessly.</p><p>(d) At this stage finance and trade had become his complete monopoly. Finally, his usurious rate of interest aroused opposition, and the increasing impudence which the Jew began to manifest all round stirred up popular indignation, while his display of wealth gave rise to popular envy. The cup of his iniquity became full to the brim, when he included landed property among his commercial wares and degraded the land M
to the level of a market commodity. Since he himself never cultivated the soil, but considered it as an object to be exploited, allowing the peasant to remain on the land, but only on condition that he submitted to the most heartless exactions of his new master, public antipathy against the Jew steadily increased and finally turned into open animosity. His extortionate tyranny became so unbearable that people rebelled against his control and used physical violence against him. They began to scrutinise this foreigneM
r somewhat more closely and then began to discover the repulsive traits aid characteristics inherent in him, until finally the gulf between the Jews and their hosts could no longer be bridged. In times of distress a wave of public anger has usually arisen against the Jew; the masses have taken the law into their own hands; they have seized Jewish property and ruined the Jew in their urge to protect themselves against what they consider to be a scourge of God. Having come to know the Jew intimately in the course of M
centuries, they looked upon his presence among them as a public danger comparable only to the plague.</p><blockquote><p>345</p></blockquote><p>(e) Then the Jew began to reveal his true character. He paid court to governments, with servile flattery, used his money to ingratiate himself further and thus regularly secured for himself once again the privilege of exploiting his victims. Although public wrath flared up against this eternal profiteer and drove him out, after a few years he reappeared in those same place, M
and carried on as before. No persecution could force him to give up his trade of exploiting other people and no amount of harrying succeeded in driving him out permanently. He always returned after a short time and it was always the old story with him. In an effort to prevent at least the worst from happening, laws were passed which debarred the Jew from obtaining possession of land.</p><p>(f) In proportion as the powers of kings and princes increased, the Jew sidled up to them. He begged for
which those gentlemen, who were generally in financial straits, gladly granted if they received adequate payment in return. However high the price he has to pay, the Jew will succeed in getting it back within a few years with interest and even with compound interest thanks to the privilege he has acquired. He is a real leech who clings to the body of his unfortunate victims and cannot be removed, so that when the princes found themselves in need once again they took the blood from his swollen veins wiM
th their own hands. This game was repeated unendingly. In the case of those who were called the
the part they played was quite as contemptible as that played by the Jew. They were a real scourge to their people. Their compeers may be found in some of the government ministers of our time. It was due to the German princes that the German nation could not succeed in definitely freeing itself from the Jewish peril. Unfortunately, the situation did not change at a later period. The princes finally M
received the reward which they had a thousand-fold deserved for all the crimes committed by them against their own people. They had allied themselves with Satan and later on they discovered that they were in Satan
s power.</p><blockquote><p>346</p></blockquote><p>(g) By permitting themselves to be entangled in the toils of the Jew, the princes prepared their own downfall. The position which they held among their people was slowly but steadily undermined, not only by their continued failure to guard the interests M
of their subjects, but by their positive exploitation of them. The Jew calculated exactly the time when the downfall of the princes was approaching and did his best to hasten it. He intensified their financial difficulties by hindering them in the exercise of their duty towards their people, by encouraging them, through the most servile flattery, to indulge in vicious habits, whereby he made himself more and more indispensable to them. His astuteness, or rather, his utter unscrupulousness in money affairs enabled hM
im to exact fresh payments from the princes subjects, to squeeze the money out of them and then have it spent as quickly as possible. Every Court had its
as this plague was called, who tortured the innocent victims until they were driven to despair, while at the same time he provided the means which the princes squandered on their own pleasures. It is not to be wondered at that these ornaments of the human race became the recipients of official honours and were even admitted to the ranks of the herM
editary nobility, thus contributing not only to expose that social institution to ridicule, but also to contaminate it from the inside. Naturally, the Jew could now exploit the position which he had attained and advance even more rapidly than before. Finally, he only needed to be baptised in order to become entitled to all the rights and privileges which belonged to the children of the nation on which he preyed. This was an excellent stroke of business for him, and he often availed himself of it, to the great joy oM
f the Church, which was proud of having gained a new child in the Faith, and also to the joy of Israel, which was happy at seeing the trick pulled off successfully.</p><p>(h) At this stage a transformation began to take place in the world of Jewry. Up to now they had been Jews, that is to say, they had not hitherto set any great value on pretending to be something else, and anyhow, the distinctive characteristics which separated them from other races could not be easily overcome.</p><blockquote><p>347</p></blockquoM
te><p>Even as late as the time of Frederick the Great nobody looked upon the Jews as other than a
people, and Goethe rose up in revolt against the failure legally to prohibit marriage between Christians and Jews. Goethe was certainly no reactionary and no timeserver; through him there spoke the voice of the blood and the voice of reason. Notwithstanding the disgraceful happenings taking place in Court circles, the people recognised instinctively that the Jew was the foreign body in their own flesh andM
their attitude towards him was dictated by recognition of that fact. But a change was now destined to take place. In the course of more than a thousand years the Jew had learned to master the language of his hosts so thoroughly that he considered he might now lay less stress on his Jewish character and emphasise his
more. Though it must have appeared ridiculous and absurd at first sight, he was impudent enough to call himself a
which in this case, meant a German. In that way began oneM
of the most infamous impositions that can be imagined. The Jew did not possess the slightest traces of the German character. He had only acquired the art of twisting the German language to his own uses, and that in a disgusting way, without having assimilated any other feature of the German character. Therefore, his command of the language was the sole ground on which he could pretend to be a German. It is not, however, by the tie of language, but exclusively by the tie of blood that the members of a race are bounM
d together, and the Jew himself knows this better than any other, seeing that he attaches so little importance to the preservation of his own language while at the same time he strives his utmost to keep his blood free from intermixture with that of other races. A man may acquire and use a new language without much trouble, but it is only his old ideas that he expresses through the new language; his inner nature is not modified thereby. The best proof of this is furnished by the Jew himself. He may speak a thousandM
tongues and yet his Jewish nature will always remain one and the same.</p><blockquote><p>348</p></blockquote><p>His distinguishing characteristics were the same when, as a grain merchant, he spoke the Latin language at Ostia two thousand years ago, as they are to-day when he tries to sell adulterated flour with the aid of his German gibberish. He is always the same Jew. That so simple a fact is not recognised by the average head-clerk in a German government department, or by an officer in the police force, is alsoM
self-evident and obvious, since it would be difficult to find another class of people who are so lacking in instinct and intelligence as the civil servants employed by our modern German state authorities. The reason why, at the stage I am dealing with, the Jew so suddenly decided to transform himself into a German is not difficult to discover. He felt the power of the princes slowly crumbling and therefore looked about to find a new social plank on which he might stand. Furthermore, his financial domination in allM
the spheres of economic life had become so great that he felt he could no longer sustain that enormous structure, or extend his influence, unless he were admitted to the full enjoyment of the
rights of citizenship.
He aimed at both, preservation and expansion; for the higher he could climb, the more alluring became the prospect of reaching the old goal, which was promised to him in ancient times, namely world domination to which he now looked forward with feverish eyes, as he thought he saw it within his graM
sp. Therefore, all his efforts were now directed to becoming a fully-fledged citizen, endowed with all civil and political rights. That was the reason for his emancipation from the ghetto.</p><p>(i) Thus the Court Jew slowly developed into the democratic Jew, but naturally, he still remained associated with persons in higher quarters, and he even attempted to push his way further into the inner circles of the ruling set. At the same time some other representatives of his race were currying favour with the people. IM
f we remember the crimes the Jew had committed against the masses of the people in the course of so many centuries, how repeatedly and ruthlessly he had exploited them and how he had sucked the very marrow of their substance, and when we further remember how they gradually came to hate him and finally considered him as public scourge then we can well understand how difficult the Jew must have found this final transformation; indeed, it must have taxed all his powers to be able to present himself as
to the poor victims whom he had bled white.</p><blockquote><p>349</p></blockquote><p>Therefore, the Jew began by making public amends for the crimes which he had committed against the people in the past. He started his metamorphosis by first appearing as the
of humanity. Since his new philanthropic policy had a very concrete aim in view, he could not very well apply to himself the biblical counsel, not to allow his left hand to know what his right hand was doing. He felt obliged to letM
as many people as possible know how deeply the sufferings of the masses grieved him and to what excesses of personal sacrifice he was ready to-go in order to help them. With this manifestation of innate modesty, so typical of the Jew, he trumpeted his virtues to the world until finally the world actually began to believe him. Those who refused to share this belief were considered to be doing him an injustice. Thus, after a little while he began to twist things round, so as to make it appear that it was he who had M
always been wronged, and not vice versa. There were actually some particularly foolish people who could not help pitying this poor unfortunate creature of a Jew. Attention may be called to the fact that, in spite of his proclaimed readiness to make personal sacrifices, the Jew never becomes poor thereby. He has a happy knack of always making both ends meet. Occasionally, his benevolence might be compared to the manure which is not spread over the field merely out of kindness, but rather with a view to future producM
e. Anyhow, after a comparatively short period of time, the world was given to know that the Jew had become a general benefactor and philanthropist. What a unique transformation!</p><blockquote><p>350</p></blockquote><p>What is looked upon as more or less natural when done by other people, here became an object of astonishment, and even sometimes of admiration, because it was considered so unusual in a Jew. That is why he has received more credit for his acts of benevolence than ordinary mortals. And something more!M
The Jew became liberal all of a sudden and began to talk enthusiastically of how human progress must be encouraged. Gradually he assumed the air of being the herald of a new age. Yet, at the same time, he continued to undermine the groundwork of that economic system which is of most benefit to the people. He bought up stock in the various national undertakings and thus pushed his influence into the circle of national production, making this latter an object of buying and selling on the Stock Exchange, or rather whM
at might be called a pawn in a financial game of chess, thus ruining the only basis on which personal proprietorship is possible. Only with the entrance of the Jew did that feeling of estrangement between employers and employees begin which led at a later date to the political class-struggle. Finally, the Jew gained an increasing influence in all economic undertakings by means of his predominance on the Stock Exchange. He secured, if not the ownership, at least the control of the working capacity of the nation. In M
order to strengthen his political position, he directed his efforts towards removing the barrier of racial and civic discrimination which had hitherto hindered his advance at every turn. With characteristic tenacity he championed the cause of religious tolerance for this purpose, and in the Freemason organisation, which had fallen completely into his hands, he found a magnificent weapon which helped him to achieve his ends. Government circles, as well as the higher sections of the political and commercial bourgeoisM
ie, fell prey to his plans through his manipulation of the masonic net, though they themselves did not even suspect what was happening. Only the people as such, or rather the masses which were just becoming conscious of their own power and were beginning to use it in the fight for their rights and liberties, had hitherto escaped the grip of the Jew.</p><blockquote><p>351</p></blockquote><p>At least, his influence had not yet penetrated to the deeper and wider sections of the people, This was unsatisfactory to him. M
The most important phase of his policy was therefore to secure control over the people. The Jew realised that in his efforts to reach the position of public despot he would need a
and he thought he could find a pace-maker if he could whip-in sufficiently large sections of the bourgeoisie, but the Freemasons failed to catch the glove-manufacturers and the linen-weavers in the frail meshes of their net, and so it became necessary to find a grosser and withal a more effective means. Thus another weapM
on beside that of freemasonry had to be secured. This was the press. The Jew exercised all his skill and tenacity in getting hold of it. By means of the press he began gradually to control public life in its entirety. He began to drive it along the road which he had chosen for the purpose of reaching his own ends, for he was now in a position to create and direct that force which, under the name of
is better known to-day than it was some decades ago. Simultaneously, the Jew gave himself the airM
of thirsting after knowledge. He lauded every phase of progress, particularly those phases which led to the ruin of others, for he judges all progress and development from the standpoint of the advantages which these bring to his own people. When it brings him no such advantages, he is the deadly enemy of enlightenment and hates all culture which is real culture as such. All the knowledge which he acquires in the schools of others is exploited by him exclusively in the service of his own race. He now guarded his JM
more jealously than ever before. Though bubbling over with talk of
etc., his first care was to preserve the racial integrity of his own people. He occasionally bestowed one of his female offspring on an influential Christian, but the racial stock of his male descendants was always preserved unmixed on principle. He poisoned the blood of others, but preserved his own blood unadulterated.</p><blockquote><p>352</p></blockquote>M
<p>The Jew scarcely ever married a Christian girl, but the Christian took a Jewess to wife. The mongrels that were the issue of this latter union always took after the Jewish side. Thus a part of the higher nobility in particular became completely degenerate. The Jew was well aware of this fact and systematically used this means of disarming the intellectual leaders of the opposite race. To mask his tactics and fool his victims, he talked of the equality of all men, no matter what their race or colour, and the simpM
letons began to believe him. Since his whole nature still retained too much that was alien for the broad masses of the people to allow themselves to be caught in his snare, he used the press to put before the public a picture of himself which was entirely untrue to life, but well designed to serve his purpose. In the comic papers special efforts were made to represent the Jews as an inoffensive little race which, like all others, had its peculiarities. The comic papers presented the Jews as fundamentally goodhearteM
d and honourable in spite of their manners, which might seem a bit strange. An attempt was generally made to make them appear insignificant, rather than dangerous. During this phase of his progress the chief goal of the Jew was the victory of democracy, or rather the supreme hegemony of the parliamentary system, which embodied his concept of democracy. This institution harmonised best with his purpose, for thus the personal element was eliminated and in its place we had the dunder-headed majority, inefficiency and,M
last but by no means least, cowardice. The final result must necessarily have been the overthrow of the monarchy, which had to come sooner or later.</p><p>(j) A tremendous economic development transformed the social structure of the nation. As the small handicrafts gradually disappeared, the manual worker was robbed of the chance of earning his bread independently, and sank to the level of the proletariat. In his stead came the factory worker, whose essential characteristic is</p><blockquote><p>353</p></blockquoteM
><p>that he is seldom in a position to support himself independently in later life. In the true sense of the word, he is
His old age is a misery to hint and can hardly be called a life at all. In earlier times a similar situation had been created, which had imperatively demanded a solution and for which a solution was found. Side by side with the peasant and the artisan, a new class had gradually developed, namely, that of officials and employees, especially those employed in the various
ces of the State. They also were a
class, in the true sense of the word, but the State found a remedy for this unhealthy situation by taking upon itself the duty of providing for the State official who was not in a position to make provision for his old age. Thus the system of pensions and retiring allowances was introduced. Private enterprises slowly followed this example in increasing numbers, so that to-day every permanent non-manual worker receives a pension in his later years, if the firm whM
ich he has served is one that has reached or exceeded a certain limit of size. It was only by virtue of the assurance given to State officials, that they would be cared for in their old age, that such a high degree of unselfish devotion to duty was developed, which in pre-war times was one of the distinguishing characteristics of German officials. Thus a whole class which had no personal property was saved from destitution by an intelligent system of provision, and found a place in the social structure of the natioM
nal community. The problem has once again arisen for the State and the nation, but this time it is more comprehensive. When the new industries sprang up and developed, millions of people left the countryside and the villages to take up employment in the big factories. The conditions under which this new class found itself forced to live were worse than miserable. The more or less mechanical transformation of the methods of work hitherto in vogue among the artisans and peasants did not fit in well with the habits orM
mentality of this new working-class.</p><blockquote><p>354</p></blockquote><p>The way in which the peasants and artisans had formerly worked had nothing comparable to the intensive labour of the new factory-worker. In the old trades, time did not play a highly important role, but it became an essential element in the new industrial system. The formal taking over of the old working hours by the mammoth industrial enterprises had fatal results. The actual amount of work hitherto accomplished within a certain time waM
s comparatively small, because the modern methods of intensive production were then unknown. Therefore, although under the older system a working day of fourteen or even fifteen hours was not unendurable, now it was beyond the limits of human endurance, because under the new system every minute was utilised to the extreme. This absurd transference of the old working hours to the new industrial system proved fatal in two directions. Firstly, it ruined the health of the workers; secondly, it destroyed their faith in M
a superior law of justice. Finally, on the one hand, a miserable wage was received and, on the other, the employer held a much more lucrative position than before. In the open country there could be no social problem, because the master and the farm-hand were doing the same kind of work and doing it together. They ate their food in common, and sometimes even out of the same dish. But this, too, was altered. The division created between employer and employee seems now to have extended to all branches of life. How faM
r this Judaising process has been allowed to take effect among our people is illustrated by the fact that manual labour not only receives practically no recognition, but is even considered degrading. That is not a natural German attitude. It is due to the introduction of a foreign element into our lives, and that foreign element is the Jewish spirit, one of the effects of which has been to transform the high esteem in which our handicrafts were once held into a certain contempt for all manual labour. Thus a new socM
ial class has grown up which stands in low esteem, and the day must come when we shall have to face the question of whether the nation will be able to make this class an integral part of the social community, or whether the difference of status now existing will become a permanent gulf separating this class from the others.</p><blockquote><p>355</p></blockquote><p>One thing, however, is certain, namely, that this class does not include the worst elements of the community in its ranks, on the contrary, it includes tM
he most energetic elements of the nation. The sophistication which is the result of a so-called civilisation has not yet exercised its disintegrating and degenerating influence on this class. The broad masses of this new lower class, consisting of the manual labourers, have not yet fallen prey to the morbid weakness of pacifism. They are still robust and, if necessary, they can be brutal. While our bourgeois middle class paid no attention at all to this momentous problem and indifferently allowed events to take theM
ir course, the Jew realised the manifold possibilities which the situation offered him for the future. While, on the one hand, he organised capitalistic methods of exploitation to the highest possible degree, he curried favour with the victims of his policy and his power and in a short while became the leader of their struggle against himself.
is here only a figurative way of speaking; for this
great master of lies
knows how to appear in the guise of the innocent and throw the guilt on oM
thers. Since he had the impudence to take a personal lead among the masses, they never for a moment suspected that they were falling a prey to one of the most infamous deceptions ever practised. Yet that is what it actually was. The moment this new class had arisen out of the general economic situation and taken shape as, a definite body in the social order, the Jew clearly saw where he would find the necessary pace-maker for his own progressive march. At first he had used the bourgeois class as a battering-ram agaM
inst the feudal order, and now he used the worker against the bourgeois world. Just as he succeeded in obtaining civic rights by intrigues carried on under the protection of the bourgeois class, he now hoped that by joining in the struggle which the workers were waging for their own existence, he would be able to obtain the mastery he desired.</p><blockquote><p>356</p></blockquote><p>When that moment arrives, the only objective the workers will have to fight for will be the future of the Jewish people. Without knowM
ing it, the worker is placing himself at the service of the very power against which he believes he is fighting. Apparently he is being made to fight against capital and thus he is all the more easily brought to fight for capitalistic interests. Outcries are systematically raised against international capital, but in reality it is against the national economic structure that these slogans are directed. The idea is to demolish this structure and on its ruins triumphantly erect the structure of the International StocM
k Exchange. The method of procedure of the Jew was as follows: He kowtowed to the worker, hypocritically pretended to feel pity for him and his lot, and even to be indignant at the misery and poverty which he had to endure. That is the way in which the Jew endeavoured to gain the confidence of the working class. He showed himself eager to study their various hardships, whether real or imaginary, and strove to awaken a yearning on the part of the workers to change the conditions under which they lived. The Jew artfuM
lly enkindled that innate yearning for social justice which is a typical Aryan characteristic. Once that yearning became alive, it was transformed into hatred against those in more fortunate circumstances of life. The next stage was to give a precise ideological aspect to the struggle for the elimination of social wrongs, and thus the Marxist doctrine was invented. By presenting this doctrine as part and parcel of a just vindication of social rights, the Jew propagated it all the more effectively, but at the same tM
ime he provoked the opposition of decent people who refused to admit these demands which, because of the form and pseudo-philosophical trimmings in which they were presented, seemed fundamentally unjust and unrealisable, for, under the cloak of purely social concepts there were hidden aims which were of a Satanic character. These aims are even openly expounded wish the clarity of unlimited impudence. This Marxist doctrine is an indivisible mixture of human reason and human absurdity, but the combination is arrangedM
in such a way that only the absurd part of it could ever be put into practice, never the reasonable part. By categorically repudiating the personal worth of the individual and also of the nation and its racial constitution, this doctrine destroys the fundamental basis of all civilisation, for civilisation depends essentially on these very factors.</p><blockquote><p>357</p></blockquote><p>Such is the true essence of the Marxist<i>Weltanschauung</i>, in so far as the word<i>Weltanschauung</i>can be applied at all toM
these phantoms arising from a criminal brain. The destruction of the concept of personality and of race removes the chief obstacle which barred the way to domination of the social body by its inferior elements, which are the Jews. The very absurdity of the economic and political theories of Marxism gives the doctrine its peculiar significance. Because of, its pseudo-logic, intelligent people refuse to support it, while all those who are less accustomed to use their intellectual faculties, or who have only a rudimeM
ntary notion of economic principles, join the Marxist cause whole-heartedly. The intelligence behind the movement
for even this movement needs intelligence if it is to subsist
is supplied by the Jews themselves, as a
on their part. Thus arose a movement which was composed exclusively of manual workers under the leadership of Jews. To all external appearances, this movement strives to ameliorate the conditions under which the workers live, but in reality its aim is to enslave and thereby annihilaM
te the non-Jewish peoples. The propaganda which the Freemasons had carried on among the so-called intelligentsia, whereby their pacifist teaching paralysed the instinct for national self-preservation, was now extended to the broad masses of the workers and the bourgeoisie by means of the press, which was almost everywhere in Jewish hands. To those two instruments of disintegration, a third and still more ruthless one was added, namely, the organisation of brute force. Massed columns of Marxist attackers were intendM
ed to complete the work of attrition which the two weapons formerly employed had brought to the verge of fulfilment. The combined activity of all these forces has been marvellously managed, and it will not be surprising if it turns out that those institutions which have always appeared as the organs of the more or less traditional authority of the State should now fall before the Marxist attack.</p><blockquote><p>358</p></blockquote><p>With very few exceptions, the Jew has found the most complacent promoters of hisM
work of destruction among the higher, and even the highest, government officials. An attitude of sneaking servility towards
and supercilious arrogance towards
are the characteristics of this class of people, as well as an appalling stupidity which is exceeded only by its amazing self-conceit. These qualities are of the greatest utility to the Jew in his dealings with our authorities and consequently he appreciates them. If I were to sketch roughly the actual struggle which is now beM
ginning I should describe it somewhat thus: Not satisfied with the economic conquest of the world, but demanding that it must also come under his political control, the Jew subdivides the organised Marxist power into two parts, which correspond to the ultimate objectives that are to be fought for in this struggle which is carried on under his direction. To outward appearance, these seem to be two independent movements, but in reality they constitute an indivisible unity. The two divisions are the political movementM
and the trade-union movement. The trade-union movement has to gather in the recruits. It offers assistance and protection to the workers in the hard struggle which they have to wage for the bare means of existence, a struggle which has been occasioned by the greediness and narrow-mindedness of many of the industrialists. Unless the workers are ready to surrender all claims to an existence which the mere dignity of human nature itself demands, and unless they are ready to submit their fate to the will of employers M
who, in many cases, have no, sense of human responsibility and are utterly callous to human wants, then the worker must necessarily take matters into his own hands, seeing that the organised social community
that is to say, the State
pays no attention to his needs.</p><blockquote><p>359</p></blockquote><p>The so-called national-minded bourgeoisie, blinded by its own material interests, opposes this life-and-death struggle of the workers and places the most difficult obstacles in their way. Not only does this boM
urgeoisie hinder all efforts to bring in legislation which would shorten the inhumanly long hours of work, prohibit child-labour, grant security and protection to women and improve the hygienic conditions in the workshops and the dwellings of the working class, but while it is engaged in so doing, the shrewd Jew takes the cause of the oppressed into his own hands. He gradually becomes the leader of the trade-union movement, which is an easy task for him, because he does not genuinely intend to find remedies for theM
social wrong; he pursues only one objective, namely, to gather and consolidate a body of followers who will act under his command as an armed weapon in the economic war for the destruction of national economic independence. For, while a sound social policy has to aim at a double objective, that of securing a decent standard of public health and welfare on the one hand, and that of safeguarding the independence of the economic life of the nation, on the other, the Jew does not take these two aims into account at alM
l. The destruction of both is one of his main objects. He would ruin, rather than safeguard, the independence of the national economic system. Therefore, as the leader of the trade-union movement, he has no scruples about putting forward demands which not only go beyond the declared purpose of the movement, but could not be carried into effect without ruining the national economic structure. On the other hand, he has no interest in seeing a healthy and sturdy population develop; he would be more content to see the M
people degenerate into an unthinking herd which could be reduced to total subjection. Because these are his final objectives, he can afford to put forward the most absurd claims. He knows very well that these claims can never be realised and that, therefore, nothing in the actual state of affairs can be altered by them, but that the most they can do is to arouse the spirit of unrest among the masses.</p><blockquote><p>360</p></blockquote><p>That is exactly the purpose which he wishes such propaganda to serve and noM
t a real and honest improvement of the social status of the worker. The Jews will, therefore, remain the unquestioned leaders of the trade-union movement as long as no far-reaching campaign is undertaken for the enlightenment of the masses, in order that they may be better enabled to understand the causes of their misery. The same end might be achieved if the government authorities were to get rid of the Jew and his work, for as long as the masses remain as illinformed as they actually are to-day, and as long as thM
e State remains as indifferent to their lot as it now is, the masses will follow whatever leaders make them the most extravagant promises in regard to economic matters. The Jew is a past-master in this art and his activities are not hampered by moral considerations of any kind. Naturally, it takes him only a short time to defeat all his competitors in this field and drive them from the scene of action. In accordance with the general brutality and rapacity of his nature, he turns the trade-union movement into an orgM
anisation for the exercise of physical violence. The resistance and antipathy of those whose insight has hitherto saved them from swallowing the Jewish bait, have been broken down by terrorism. The success of that kind of activity is enormous. Actually, the Jew is using the trade-union, which could be a blessing to the nation, as a weapon with which to destroy the foundations of the national economic structure. Side by side with this, the political organisation advances. It operates hand-in-hand with the trade-unioM
n movement, inasmuch as the latter prepares the masses for the political organisation and even forces them into it. This is also the source that provides the money which the political organisation needs to keep its enormous apparatus in action. The trade-union organisation is the organ of control for the political activity of its members and whips in the masses for all great political demonstrations. In the end, it ceases to struggle for economic interests, but places its chief weapon, refusal to continue work (whiM
ch takes the form of a general strike) at the disposal of the political movement.</p><blockquote><p>361</p></blockquote><p>In a press, the reading matter of which is adapted to the level of the most ignorant readers, the political and trade-union organisations are provided with an instrument which prepares the lowest stratum of the nation for a campaign of ruthless destruction. It is not considered part of the purpose of this press to inspire its readers with ideals which might help them to lift their minds above tM
he sordid conditions of their daily lives, but, on the contrary, it panders to their lowest instincts. Among the lazy-minded and self-seeking sections of the masses this kind of speculation turns out lucrative. It is this press, above all, which carries on a fanatical campaign of calumny, strives to tear down everything that might be considered mainstay of national independence, cultural standing and economic self-sufficiency. It aims its attacks especially against all men of character who refuse to fall into line M
with the Jewish efforts to obtain control over the State, or who appear dangerous to the Jews merely because of their superior intelligence. In order to incur the enmity of the Jew it is not necessary to show any open hostility towards him; it is sufficient if a man is considered capable of opposing the Jew at some time in the future, or of using his abilities and character to enhance the power and position of a nation which the Jew considers hostile to himself. The Jew
s instinct, which never fails where these pM
roblems have to be dealt with, readily discerns the true mentality of those whom he meets in everyday life and those who are not of a kindred spirit may be sure of being listed among his enemies. Since the Jew is not the object of aggression, but himself the aggressor, he considers as his enemies not only those who attack him, but also those who may be capable of resisting him. The means which he employs to break people of this kind who show themselves decent and upright, is no honourable conflict, but falsehood anM
d calumny. He will stop at nothing. His utterly lowdown conduct is so appalling that one really cannot be surprised if, in the imagination of our people, Satan, as the incarnation of all evil, assumes the form and features of the Jew.</p><blockquote><p>362</p></blockquote><p>The ignorance of the broad masses as regards the inner character of the Jew, and the lack of instinct and insight displayed by our upper classes, are among the reasons which explain how it is that so many people fall an easy prey to the systemaM
tic campaign of falsehood which the Jew carries on. While the upper classes, with their innate cowardliness, turn away from anyone whom the Jew thus attacks with lies and calumny, the common people are credulous of everything, whether because of their ignorance or their simple-mindedness. Government authorities wrap themselves in a cloak of silence, but more frequently they persecute the victims of Jewish attacks in order to stop the campaign in the Jewish press. To the fatuous mind of the government official, suchM
a line of conduct appears to be in line with the policy of upholding the authority of the State and preserving public order. Gradually, the Marxist weapon in the hands of the Jew becomes a constant bogey to decent people and weighs upon them like a kind of nightmare. People begin to quail before this fearful foe and thereby become his victims.</p><p>(k) The domination of the Jew in the State seems now so fully assured that not only can he afford to call himself a Jew once again, but he even acknowledges freely andM
openly his ideas on racial and political questions. A section of the Jews avows itself quite openly as an alien people, but even here there is another falsehood. When the Zionists try to make the rest of the world believe that the new national consciousness of the Jews will be satisfied by the establishment of a Jewish State in Palestine, the Jews thereby adopt another means to dupe the simple-minded Aryan. They have not the slightest intention of building up a Jewish State in Palestine so as to live in it. What tM
hey are really aiming at is to establish a central organisation for their international swindling and cheating. As a sovereign State, this cannot, be controlled by any of the other States.</p><blockquote><p>363</p></blockquote><p>Therefore, it can serve as a refuge for swindlers who have been found out, and at the same time, a high school for the training of other swindlers. As a sign of their growing confidence and sense of security, a certain section of them openly and impudently proclaims its Jewish nationality,M
while another section hypocritically pretend to be German, French or English, as the case may be. Their blatant behaviour in their relations with other people shows how clearly they envisage their day of triumph in the near future. The black-haired Jewish youth lies in wait for hours on end, Satanically glaring at and spying on the unsuspecting girl whom he plans to seduce, adulterating her blood and removing her from the bosom of her own people. The Jew uses every possible means to undermine the racial foundationM
s of a people to be subjugated. In his systematic efforts to ruin girls and women, he strives to break down the last barriers of racial discrimination. The Jews were responsible for bringing Negroes into the Rhineland, with the ultimate idea of bastardizing the white race which they hate, and thus lowering its cultural and political level so that the Jew might dominate. As long as a people remains racially pure and race-conscious, it can never be overcome by the Jew. Never in this world can the Jew become master ofM
any people except a bastardised people. That is why the Jew systematically endeavours to lower the racial quality of a people by permanently adulterating the blood of the individuals who make up that people. In the field of politics he now begins to replace the idea of democracy by that of the dictatorship of the proletariat. In the masses organised under the Marxist banners he has found a weapon which makes it possible for him to discard democracy, so as to subjugate and rule the nations in a dictatorial fashion M
by the aid of brute force. He works systematically in order to bring about this revolution by two methods, the economic and the political.</p><blockquote><p>364</p></blockquote><p>Aided by international influences, he forms a ring of enemies around those nations which have proved themselves too sturdy for him, in withstanding attacks from within. He tries to force them into war and then, if it should be necessary to his plans, he will unfurl the banners of revolt even while the troops are actually fighting at the fM
ront. Economically, he brings about the destruction of the State by a systematic method of sabotaging social enterprises until these become so costly that they are taken out of the hands of the State and submitted to the control of Jewish finance. Politically, he works to withdraw from the State its means of subsistence, inasmuch as he undermines the foundations of national resistance and defence, destroys the confidence which the people have in their government, reviles the past and its history and drags everythinM
g really great into the gutter. Culturally, his activity consists in poisoning art, literature and the theatre, holding the expression of natural sentiment up to scorn, overturning all concepts of the sublime and beautiful, the worthy and the good, finally dragging the people down to the level of his own low mentality. Of religion he makes a mockery. Morality and decency are described as antiquated prejudices and thus a systematic attack is made for the purpose of undermining those last foundations on which the natM
ional being must rest if the nation is to struggle for its existence in this world.</p><p>(l) Now begins the great and final revolution. As soon as the Jew is in possession of political power he drops all pretence. Out of the democratic Jew, the Jew of the people, arises the Jew lusting for blood, the tyrant of the peoples. In the course of a few years he endeavours to exterminate all those who represent the national intelligentsia, and by thus depriving the peoples of their natural intellectual leaders, he orepareM
s them for their fate as slaves under a lasting despotism. Russia furnishes the most terrible example of such slavery. In that country the Jew killed or starved thirty millions of the people in a bout of savage fanaticism and resorted to the employment of inhuman torture. He did this so that a gang of Jewish would-be literati and financial bandits should dominate over a great people.</p><blockquote><p>365</p></blockquote><p>The final consequence is not merely that the people lose all their freedom under the dominatM
ion of the Jews, but that in the end, these parasites themselves disappear. The death of the victim is followed sooner or later by that of the vampire. If we review all the causes which contributed to bring about the downfall of the German people we shall find that the most profound acid decisive cause lies in lack of insight into the racial problem and especially in failure to recognise the Jewish menace. It would have been easy enough to endure the defeats suffered on the battlefields in August 1918. They were noM
thing as compares with the military victories which our nation had achieved. Our downfall was not the result of those defeats; we were overthrown by that force which had prepared those defeats by systematically operating for several decades to destroy those political instincts and that moral stamina which alone enable a people to struggle for its existence and thereby secure the right to exist. By neglecting the problem of preserving the racial foundations of our national life, the old Reich abrogated the sole righM
t which entitles a people to live on this planet. Nations that make mongrels of their people or allow their people to be turned into mongrels, sin against the Will of Eternal Providence, and thus their overthrow at the hands of a stronger opponent cannot be looked upon as a wrong but, on the contrary, as a restoration of justice. If a people refuses to guard and uphold the qualities with which it has been endowed by Nature and which have their roots in the racial blood, then such a people has no right to complain oM
ver the loss of its earthly existence. Everything on this earth can be changed for the better. Every defeat may be made the foundation of a future victory. Every lost war may be the cause of a later resurgence. Every form of distress can give, a new impetus to human energy, and from oppression those forces can develop which bring about a re-birth of the national soul
provided always that the racial blood is kept pure. The loss of racial purity will wreck inner happiness for ever.</p><blockquote><p>366</p></blockqM
uote><p>It degrades men for all time to come, and the physical and moral consequences can never be wiped out. If this unique problem be studied and compared with the other problems of life we shall easily recognise how small is their importance in comparison with this. They are all limited in time, but the problem of the maintenance or loss of the purity of the racial blood will last as long as man himself exists. All the symptoms of decline which manifested themselves in pre-war times can be traced back to the racM
ial problem. Whether one is dealing with questions of general law, of monstrous wrongs in economic life, of phenomena which point to a cultural decline or political degeneration whether it be a question of defects in the school-system or of the evil influence which the press exerts over the adult population in every case there phenomena are caused by a lack of consideration for the interests of the race to which one
s own nation belongs, or by failure to recognise the danger that comes from allowing a foreign racM
e to exist within the national body. That is why all attempts at reform, all institutions for social relief, all political striving, all economic progress and all apparent increase in the general stock of knowledge, were doomed to be unproductive of any significant results. The nation, as well as the organisation which enables it to exist, namely, the State, were not developing in inner strength and stability but were, on the contrary, visibly losing their vitality. The false brilliance of the Second Reich could noM
t disguise its inner weakness, and every attempt to invigorate it anew failed, because the main and most important problem was left out of consideration. It would be a mistake to think that the followers of the various political parties which tried to doctor the condition of the German people, or even all their leaders, were bad in themselves or meant wrong. Their activity was doomed to fail, merely because, at best, they saw nothing but the symptoms of our general malady and they tried to doctor the symptoms whileM
they overlooked the real cause of the disease.</p><blockquote><p>367</p></blockquote><p>If one makes a methodical study of the lines along which the old Reich developed, one cannot help seeing, after a careful political analysis, that a process of inner degeneration had already set in, even at the time when the united Reich was established and the German nation was enjoying prosperity. The general situation was declining, in spite of apparent political success and in spite of increasing economic wealth. At the ReiM
chstag elections the growing number of Marxist votes indicated that the internal breakdown and the political collapse were rapidly approaching. All the victories of the so-called bourgeois parties were fruitless, not only because they could not prevent the numerical increase is the growing mass of Marxist votes, even when the bourgeois parties triumphed at the polls, but mainly because they themselves were already infected with the germs of decay. Though quite unaware of, it, the bourgeois world was infected from wM
ithin with the deadly virus of Marxist ideas. The fact that they sometimes openly resisted was to be attributed to rivalry between ambitious political leaders, rather than to any opposition on principle between adversaries who were determined to fight one another to the bitter end. During all those years only one protagonist was fighting with steadfast perseverance. This was the Jew. The Star of David steadily ascended, as the will to national self-preservation declined. Therefore, it was not a nation filled with tM
he determination to attack, which rushed to the battlefields in August 1914, but it was rather the manifestation of the last flickering instinct of national self-preservation in the face of the progress of the paralysis with which the pacifist and Marxist doctrine threatened our people. Even in those days when the fate of the nation hung in the balance, the internal enemy was not recognised and therefore all efforts to resist the external enemy were bound to be in vain. Providence did not grant the reward to the viM
ctorious sword, but followed the eternal law of retributive justice. A profound recognition of all this was the source of those principles and tendencies which inspire our new Movement. We were convinced that only by recognising such truths could we stop the national decline in Germany and lay a granite foundation on which the State could again be built up, a State which would not be a piece of mechanism alien to our people, constituted for economic needs and interests, but an organism created from the soul of the L
people themselves.</p><h2 id="a-germanic-state-of-the-german-nation">A GERMANIC STATE OF THE GERMAN NATION.</h2><blockquote><p>368</p></blockquote><blockquote><p>369</p></blockquote>h!

"description": "Sat Black is a groundbreaking digital verifiable collectible. It includes a unique pen and ink illustration referencing the first physical verifiable collectible, the Penny Black stamp, released in 1840 and considered a collectibles cultural icon. The Penny Black was the first adhesiM
ve postage stamp used in a public postal system. Each individual stamp featured 2 letters identifying its location on the printing plate. The Sat Black uses ordinal theory to inscribe a verifiable credential onto a specific satoshi with a variety of metadata, including a digital signature proving authenticity. This digital collectible uses decentralized identifiers and verifiable credentials to create new opportunities for true utility with ordinals. Art by Harold Richter.",

Cantillionaires call it radioactive data.
But there's no such thing as radioactive data.
There's just data. And data is speech.

Bitzine loves voluntary collaboration as much as producing content.
We want to help save data from the hands of evergrowing information tyrants,
to document and spread true information and inspiring ideas.
Send us your "radioactive data", make sure it survives the stablishment.
Or better yet, publish it pseudoanonymously straight to the timechain.

<blockquote><p>370</p></blockquote><h1 id="chapter-xii-the-first-stage-in-the-development-of-the-national-socialist-german-labour-party">CHAPTER XII: THE FIRST STAGE IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE NATIONAL SOCIALIST GERMAN LABOUR PARTY</h1><p>Here at the close of this volume I shall describe the first stage in the progress of our Movement and shall give a brief account of the problems we had to deal with during that period. In doing this I have no intention of expounding the ideals which we have setup as the goal of ourM
Movement, for these ideals are so momentous in their significance that an exposition of them will need a whole volume. Therefore, I shall devote the second volume of this book to a detailed survey of the principles which form the programme of our Movement and I shall attempt to draw a picture of what we mean by the word
, in this connection, I mean to include all those hundreds of thousands who have fundamentally the same longing, though in the individual cases they cannot find adeqM
uate words to describe the vision that hovers before their eyes. It is a characteristic feature of all great reforms that, in the beginning, there is only one single protagonist to come forward on behalf of several million people. The final goal of a great reformation has often been the object of profound longing on the part of hundreds of thousands for centuries past, until finally one among them comes forward as a herald to announce the will of that multitude and become the champion of the old desire, which he noM
w sets about triumphantly realising in the form of a new ideal. The fact that millions of our people yearn for a radical change in our present conditions is proved by the profound discontent which exists among them. This feeling is manifested in a thousand ways. Some express it in their discouragement and despair; others show it in resentment, anger and indignation. In some this profound discontent calls forth an attitude of indifference, while it urges others to violent manifestations of wrath.</p><blockquote><p>3M
71</p></blockquote><p>Another indication of this feeling may be seen, on the one hand, in the attitude of those who abstain from voting at elections and, on the other, in the large numbers of those who side with the fanatical extremists of the left wing. It was to the latter that our young Movement had to appeal first of all. It was not to be an organisation for contented and satisfied people, but was meant to gather in all those who were suffering from profound anxiety and could find no peace, those who were unhapM
py and discontented. It was not meant to float on the surface of national life, but rather to push its roots deep down among the people. Looked at from the purely political point of view, the situation in 1918 was as follows: A nation had been torn asunder. One part, which was by far the smaller of the two, comprised the intellectual classes of the nation, from which all those employed in physical labour were excluded. On the surface, these intellectual classes appeared to be national-minded, but that word meant noM
thing to them except a very vague and feeble concept of the duty to defend what they called the interests of the State, which in turn seemed identical with those of the dynastic regime. This class tried to defend its ideas and realise its aims by carrying on the fight with the aid of intellectual weapons, which, insufficient and superficial enough in the face of the brutal methods adopted by the adversary, were, of their very nature, bound to fail. With one violent blow the class which had hitherto governed was nowM
struck down; it trembled with fear and accepted every humiliation imposed on it by the merciless victor. Over against this class stood the broad masses of manual labourers who were organised in movements with a more or less radically Marxist tendency. These organised masses were firmly determined to break any kind of intellectual resistance by the use of brute force. They had no nationalist tendencies whatsoever and deliberately repudiated the idea of advancing the interests of the nation as such. On the contrary,M
they promoted the interests of the foreign oppression. Numerically, this class embraced the majority of the population and, what is more important, included all those elements of the nation without whose collaboration a national resurgence was not only a practical impossibility, but was even inconceivable.</p><blockquote><p>372</p></blockquote><p>Even in 1918 one thing had to be clearly recognised, namely, that no resurgence of the German nation could take place until we had first re-established our national strenM
gth in relation to the outside world. For this purpose arms were not the preliminary necessity, though our bourgeois
always blathered about it being so; what was wanted was will-power. At one time the German people had more than sufficient armaments, and yet that did not suffice for the defence of its liberty, because it lacked that energy which springs from the instinct of national self-preservation and the will to hold one
s own. The best armament is only dead and worthless material as long as tM
he spirit is wanting which makes men willing and determined to avail themselves of such weapons. Germany was rendered defenceless, not because she lacked arms, but because she lacked the will to keep her arms for the further preservation of her people. To-day our left-wing politicians, in particular, are constantly insisting that their craven-hearted and obsequious, but in reality treacherous, foreign policy necessarily results from the disarmament of Germany. To all that kind of talk the answer ought to be,
the contrary is the truth. Your action in delivering up the arms was dictated by your anti-national and criminal policy of abandoning the interests of the nation. Now you try to make people believe that your miserable whining is fundamentally due to the fact that you have no arms. Just like everything else in your conduct, this is a lie and a falsification of the true facts.
The politicians of the right deserve exactly the same reproach. It was through their miserable cowardice that those ruffians of Jews who cM
ame into power in 1918 were able to rob the nation of its arms. The conservative politicians have neither right nor reason on their side when they cite disarmament as the cause which compelled them to adopt a policy of prudence (that is to say, of cowardice).</p><blockquote><p>373</p></blockquote><p>The truth is that disarmament is the result of their pusillanimity. Therefore, the problem of restoring Germany
s power is not a question of how we can manufacture arms, but rather a question of how we can foster thatM
spirit which enables a people to bear arms. Once this spirit prevails among a people, then it will find a thousand ways, each of which leads to the acquisition of arms. A coward will not fire even a single shot when attacked, though he may be armed with ten pistols; to him they are of less value than a blackthorn in the hands of a man of courage. The problem of re-establishing the political power of our nation is first of all a problem of restoring the instinct of national self-preservation, if for no other reasonM
than that every preparatory step in foreign policy and every weighing up by foreign Powers of the military value of a State has been proved by experience to be grounded not on the total amount of armaments such a State may possess, but rather on the moral capacity for resistance which such a State has, or is believed to have. The question whether or not a nation be desirable as an ally is determined not so much by the inert mass of arms which it has at hand, but by the obvious presence of an enthusiastic will to nM
ational self-preservation and a heroic courage which will fight to the last breath, for an alliance is not made between arms but between men. The British nation will, therefore, be considered as the most valuable ally in the world as long as it can be counted upon to show that brutality and tenacity in its government, as well as in the spirit of the broad masses, which enables it to carry on till victory any struggle upon which it once enters, no matter how long such a struggle pray last, no matter how great the saM
crifice that may be necessary and no matter what the means that have to be employed
and all this even though the actual military equipment at hand may be utterly inadequate as compared with that of other nations. Once it is understood that the restoration of Germany is a question of reawakening the will to political self-preservation we shall see quite clearly that it will not be enough to win over those elements that are already national-minded, but that the deliberately anti-national masses must be converted toM
believe in the national ideals.</p><blockquote><p>374</p></blockquote><p>A young movement that aims at re-establishing a German State with full sovereign powers will therefore have to make the task of winning over the broad masses a special objective of its plan of campaign. Our so-called
national bourgeoisie
are so lamentably supine, generally speaking, and their national spirit appears so feckless, that we may feel sure they will offer no serious resistance against a vigorous national foreign or domestic pM
olicy. Even though the narrow-minded German bourgeoisie should keep up a passive resistance when the hour of deliverance is at hand, as they did in Bismarck
s time, we shall never have to fear any active resistance on their part, because of their acknowledged and proverbial cowardice. It is quite different with the masses of our population, who are imbued with ideas of internationalism. Through the primitive roughness of their natures, they are disposed to accept the idea of violence, while at the same time theirM
Jewish leaders are more brutal and ruthless. They will crush any attempt at a German revival, just as they smashed the German Army by striking at it from the rear. Above all, these organised masses will use their numerical majority in this parliamentarian State, not only to hinder any national foreign policy, but also to prevent Germany from restoring her prestige abroad and so establishing her desirability as an ally. For it is not we ourselves alone who are aware of the handicap that results from the existence oM
f fifteen million Marxists, democrats, pacifists and followers of the Centre in our midst; foreign nations also recognise this internal burden which we have to bear and take it into their calculations when estimating the value of a possible alliance with us. Nobody would wish to form an alliance with a State where the active portion of the population is at least passively opposed to any resolute foreign policy. The situation is made still worse by reason of the fact that the leaders of those parties which were respM
onsible for the betrayal of the nation are ready to oppose any and every attempt at a revival, simply because they want to retain the positions they now hold.</p><blockquote><p>375</p></blockquote><p>According to the laws that govern human history, it is inconceivable that the German people could resume the place they formerly held without retaliating on those who were both cause and occasion of the collapse that involved the ruin of our State. Before the judgment seat of posterity November 1918 will not be regardeM
d as a simple rebellion but as high treason against the country. Therefore, it is not possible to think of re-establishing German sovereignty and political independence without at the same time reconstructing a united front within the nation. Looked at from the standpoint of practical ways and means, it seems absurd to think of liberating Germany from foreign bondage as long as the masses of the people are not willing to support such an ideal of freedom. Considering this problem from the purely military point of viM
ew, everybody, and in particular every officer, will agree that a war cannot be waged against an outside enemy by battalions of students; but that, together with the brains of the nation, the physical strength of the nation is also necessary. Furthermore, it must be remembered that the nation would be robbed of irreplaceable assets, if the national defence were composed only of the intellectual circles, as they are called. The young German intellectuals who joined the volunteer regiments and fell on the, battlefielM
ds of Flanders in the autumn of 1914 were bitterly missed later on. They were the most valuable treasure which the nation possessed and their loss could not be made good in the course of the war. It is not only the struggle itself which could not be waged if the working classes of the nation did not join the storm battalions, but the necessary technical preparations could not be made without a united will and a common front within the nation itself. Our nation which has to exist disarmed under tie thousand eyes appM
ointed by the Versailles Peace Treaty, cannot make any technical preparations for the recovery of its freedom and human independence, until the whole army of spies employed within the country is cut down to those few whose inborn baseness would lead them to betray anything and everything for the proverbial thirty pieces of silver.</p><blockquote><p>376</p></blockquote><p>We can deal with such people, but the millions, who are opposed to the national revival, simply because of their political opinions, constitute anM
insurmountable obstacle. At least, the obstacle will remain insurmountable, as long as the cause of their opposition, which is international Marxism, is not overcome and its teachings banished from both their hearts and minds. From whatever point of view we may examine the possibility of recovering our independence as a State and as a nation, whether we consider the problem from the standpoint of technical rearmament or from that of the actual struggle itself, the necessary prerequisite always remains the same. ThM
is prerequisite is that the broad masses of the people must first be won over to accept the principle of our national independence. If we do not regain our external freedom, every step forward in domestic reform will be at best an augmentation of our productive powers for the benefit of those nations that look upon us as a colony to be exploited. The surplus produced by any so-called economic revival would only go into the hands of our international supervisors, and any social betterment would at best increase our M
output, to the advantage of those persons. No cultural progress can be made by the German nation, because such progress is too much bound up with the political independence and dignity of a people. Since, therefore, we can find a satisfactory solution for the problem of Germany
s future only by winning over the broad masses of our people for the support of the national idea, this must be considered the highest and most important task to be accomplished by a movement which does not strive merely to satisfy the neeM
ds of the moment, but considers itself bound to examine in the light of future results everything it decides to do or to refrain from doing. As early as 1919 we were convinced that to make the masses national-minded would have to constitute the first and paramount aim of the new movement. From the tactical standpoint, this decision brought with it a certain number of obligations.</p><blockquote><p>377</p></blockquote><p>(1) No social sacrifice could be considered too great in this effort to win over the masses for M
the national revival. Whatever economic concessions are granted to-day to employees are negligible when compared with the benefit to be reaped by the whole nation if such concessions contribute to bring back the masses of the people once more to an appreciation of their own nationality. Nothing but meanness and short-sightedness, which are characteristics that are unfortunately only too prevalent among our employers, could prevent people from recognising that in the long run no economic improvement and therefore noM
rise, in profits are possible unless the internal<i>v
lkisch</i>solidarity of our nation be restored. If the German trade-unions had defended the interests of the working-classes uncompromisingly during the War;</p><ul><li>if, even during the War, they had used the weapon of the strike to force the industrialists (who were greedy for higher dividends) to grant the demands of the workers for whom the unions acted;</li><li>if at the same time they had stood up as good Germans for the defence of the nation as stoutlM
y as for their own claims; and</li><li>if they had given as unstintedly to their country that which was their country
then the War would never have been lost. How ludicrously insignificant would all, and even the greatest, economic concessions have been as compared with the tremendous importance of such a victory!</li></ul><p>For a movement which would restore the German worker to the German people it is, therefore, absolutely necessary to understand clearly that economic sacrifices must be considered negM
ligible in such cases, provided, of course, that they do not go the length of endangering the independence and stability of the national economic system.</p><p>(2) The education of the masses along national lines can be carried out only indirectly, by improving social conditions, for only by such a process can the economic conditions be created which enable everybody to share in the cultural life of the nation.</p><blockquote><p>378</p></blockquote><p>(3) The making of the broad masses national-minded can never be M
achieved by half-measures
that is to say, by feebly insisting on what is called the objective side of the question
but only by a ruthless and fanatically one-sided insistence on the aim which must be achieved. This means that a people cannot be made
in the sense of that word as accepted by our bourgeois class to-day
that is to say, nationalism with many reservations
in the vehement and extreme sense. Poison can be overcome only by a counter-poison and only the supine bourgeM
ois mind could think that the Kingdom of Heaven can be attained by a compromise. The broad masses of a nation are not made up of professors and diplomats. Since these masses have but little acquaintance with abstract ideas, their reactions lie more in the domain of the feelings, which determine their positive or their negative attitude as the case may be. They are susceptible only to a manifestation of strength which comes definitely either from the positive or the negative side, but they are never susceptible to aM
ny half-hearted attitude that wavers between one pole and the other. The emotional grounds of their attitude furnish the reason for their extraordinary stability. It is always more difficult to fight successfully against faith than against knowledge. Love is less subject to change than respect. Hatred is more lasting than mere aversion. None of the tremendous revolutions which this world has witnessed, have been brought about by a scientific revelation, which has moved the masses, but always by an ardour which has M
inspired them, and often by a kind of hysteria which has urged them to action. Whoever wishes to win over the masses must find the key that will open the door to their hearts. It is not objectivity, which is weakness, but determination and strength.</p><p>(4) The soul of the masses can be won only if those who lead the movement are determined not merely to carry through the positive struggle for their own aims, but are also determined to destroy the enemy that opposes them.</p><blockquote><p>379</p></blockquote><p>M
When they see an uncompromising onslaught against an adversary, the people have at all times taken this as a proof that right is on the side of the aggressor. But if the aggressor should go only half-way and fail to push home his success by driving his opponent entirely from the scene of action, the people will look upon this as a sign that the aggressor is uncertain of the justice of his own cause and, that his half-way policy may even be an acknowledgment that his cause is unjust. The masses are but a part of NatM
ure herself. Their feeling is such that they cannot understand mutual handshakings between men who are declared enemies. Their wish is to see the stronger side win and the weaker wiped out, or subjected unconditionally to the will of the stronger. It is possible to succeed in making the masses national-minded, only if, positive though the struggle to win the soul of the people may be, those who spread the international poison among them are exterminated.</p><p>(5) All the great problems of our time are problems of M
the moment and are only the results of certain definite causes, and among all these there is only one that has a profoundly causal significance. This is the problem of preserving the pure racial stock among the people. Human vigour or decline depends on the blood. Nations that are not aware of the importance of their racial stock, or which neglect to preserve it, are like men who would try to educate the pugdog to do the work of the greyhound, not understanding that neither the speed of the greyhound nor the imitatM
ive faculties of the poodle are inborn qualities which cannot be drilled into the one or the other by any form of training. A people that fails to preserve the purity of its racial blood thereby destroys the unity of the soul of the nation in all its manifestations. A disintegrated national character is the inevitable consequence of a process of disintegration in the blood, and the change which takes place in the spiritual and creative faculties of a people is only an outcome of the change that has modified its racM
ial substance. If we are to free the German people from all those non-characteristic failings and traits we must first get rid of alien causes of these traits and failings.</p><blockquote><p>380</p></blockquote><p>The German nation will never revive unless the racial problem, and with it, the Jewish question, is taken into account and dealt with. The racial problem furnishes the key, not only to the understanding of human history, but also to the understanding of every kind of human culture.</p><p>(6) By incorporatM
ing in the national community the broad masses of our people (who are now in the international camp) we do not mean to renounce the principle that the interests of the various trades and professions must be safeguarded. Divergent interests in the various branches of labour and in the trades and professions are not the same as a division between the various classes, but rather a natural feature inherent in our economic life. Vocational grouping does not clash in the least with the idea of a national community, for iM
t means national unity in regard to all those problems that affect the life of the nation as such. To incorporate in the national community, or in the State, a stratum of the people which has now formed a social class, the standing of the upper classes must not be lowered, but that of the lower classes must be raised. The class which carries through this process is never the upper class, but rather the lower one which is fighting for equality of rights. The bourgeoisie of to-day was not incorporated in the State thM
rough measures enacted by the feudal nobility, but only through its own energy and leaders who had sprung from its own ranks. The German worker cannot be raised from his present status and incorporated in the German folk-community by means of goody-goody meetings where people talk about the brotherhood of the people, but rather by a systematic improvement in the social and cultural life of the worker, until the yawning gulf between him and the other classes can be bridged. A movement which has this for its aim mustM
try to recruit its followers mainly from the ranks of the working class. It must include members of the intellectual classes only in so far as such members have rightly understood, and accepted without reserve, the ideal towards which the movement is striving. This process of transformation and reunion cannot be completed within ten or twenty years; it will take several generations, as the history of such movements has shown.</p><blockquote><p>381</p></blockquote><p>The most difficult obstacle to the inclusion of M
our contemporary worker in the national folk-community does not consist so much in the fact that he fights for the interests of his fellow-workers, but rather in the influence of his international leaders and their anti-national and non-patriotic attitude which he has accepted. If they were inspired by the principle of devotion to the nation in all that concerns its political and social welfare, the trade-unions would make those millions of workers most valuable members of the national community, irrespective of thM
eir own individual struggle on behalf of economic interests. A movement which sincerely endeavours to bring the German worker back into his folk community, and rescue him from the folly of internationalism, must wage a vigorous campaign against certain notions that are prevalent among the industrialists. One of these notions is that according to the concept of the folk-community, the employee is obliged to surrender all his economic rights to the employer and, further, that the workers would come into conflict withM
the folk-community, if they should attempt to defend their own justified and vital interests. Those who try to propagate such a notion are deliberate liars. The folk-community imposes obligations not only on the one side, but also on the other. A worker certainly does something which is contrary to the spirit of the folk-community, if he acts entirely on his own initiative and puts forward exaggerated demands, without taking the common weal or the maintenance of the national economic structure into consideration. M
But an industrialist also acts against the spirit of the folk-community, if he adopts inhumane methods of exploitation and misuses the working capacity of the nation and, by sweating the workers, amasses million for himself. He has no right to call himself
and no right to talk of a folk-community, for he is only an unscrupulous egotist who sows the seeds of social discontent and provokes future conflicts which are bound to prove injurious to the interests of the country.</p><blockquote><p>382</p></blM
ockquote><p>The reservoir from which the young movement has to draw its members will be first of all the working classes. These classes must be delivered from the clutches of the international mania. Their social distress must be eliminated. They must be raised above their present cultural level, which is deplorable and transformed into a resolute and valuable factor in the folk-community, inspired by national ideas and national sentiment. If, among those intellectual circles that are nationalist in their outlook, M
men can be found who genuinely love their people and look forward eagerly to the future of Germany, and at the same time have a sound grasp of the importance of a struggle, whose aim is to win over the soul of the masses, such men will be cordially welcomed in the ranks of the movement. They can serve as a valuable intellectual support in the work that is to be done. But this movement can never aim at recruiting its membership from the unthinking herd of bourgeois voters. If it did so, the movement would be burdeneM
d with a mass of people whose whole mentality would only help to paralyse the efforts of the campaign to win over the broad masses. In theory it may be very fine to say that the broad masses ought to be influenced by a combined leadership of the upper and lower social strata within the framework of the one movement; but notwithstanding all this, the fact remains that, though it may be possible to exercise a psychological influence on the bourgeois classes and to arouse some enthusiasm or even awaken some understandM
ing among them by public demonstrations, it is impossible to eliminate those characteristics, or rather faults, which have grown and developed in the course of centuries. The difference between the cultural levels of the two groups and between their respective attitudes towards economic questions is still so great that it would turn out a hindrance to the movement the moment the first enthusiasm aroused by demonstrations calmed down. Finally, it is not part of our programme to transform the nationalist camp itself,M
but, rather to win over those who are anti-national in their outlook. It is this point of view which must finally determine the tactics of the whole movement.</p><blockquote><p>383</p></blockquote><p>(7) This one-sided, but, consequently, clear and definite attitude must be manifested in the propaganda of the movement; and, on the other hand, this clarity is absolutely necessary in order to make the propaganda itself effective. If propaganda is to be of service to the movement it must be addressed to one side alonM
e; for if it should vary the direction of its appeal it will not be understood in the one camp and may be rejected by the other as obvious and uninteresting, for the intellectual background of the two camps that come into question is very different. Even the manner in which something is presented and the tone in which particular details are emphasised cannot have the same effect on those two strata that belong respectively to the opposite extremes of the social structure. If the propaganda should refrain from usingM
primitive forms of expression, it will not appeal to the sentiment of the masses. If, on the other hand, it conforms to the crude sentiments of the masses in its words and gestures, the intellectual circles will be averse to it because of its crudity and vulgarity. Among a hundred men who call themselves orators, there are scarcely ten who are capable of speaking with effect to an audience of street-sweepers, mechanics, navvies, etc., to-day and of expounding the same subject with equal effect to-morrow to an audiM
ence of university professors and students. Among a thousand public speakers there may be only one who can address a mixed audience of mechanics and professors in the same hall in such a way that his statements can be fully comprehended by each group while, at the same time, he effectively influences both to such an extent that they are carried away by a common enthusiasm. It must always be remembered that in most cases even the most beautiful idea embodied in a sublime theory can be brought home to the public onlyM
by men of middling ability. The thing that matters here is not the vision of the man of genius who created the great ideal, but rather what his apostles tell the broad masses, how they do this and with what degree of success. Social Democracy and the whole Marxist movement were particularly qualified to attract the great masses of the nation, because of the uniformity of the public to which they addressed their appeal.</p><blockquote><p>384</p></blockquote><p>The more limited and narrow their ideas and arguments, M
the easier it was for the masses to grasp and assimilate them, for those ideas and arguments were well adapted to a low level of intelligence. These considerations led the new movement to adopt the following clear and simple line of policy. In its message as well as in its forms of expression the propaganda had to be kept on a level with the intelligence of the masses, and its value had to be measured only by the actual success it achieved. At a public meeting where the great masses are gathered together the best sM
peaker is not he whose way of approaching a subject is most akin to the spirit of those intellectuals who may happen to be present, but the speaker who knows how to win the hearts of the masses. An educated man who is present and who finds fault with an address because he considers it to be on an intellectual plane that is too low, though he himself has witnessed its effect on the lower intellectual groups whose adherence has to be won, only shows himself completely incapable of rightly judging the situation and thM
ereby proves that he can be of no use in the new movement. Only those intellectuals can be of use to a movement who understand its mission and its aims so well that they have learned to judge the methods of propaganda exclusively by the success obtained and never by the impression which those methods, make on them personally. Propaganda is not meant to serve as an entertainment for those people who already have a nationalist outlook; its purpose is to win the adhesion of those who have hitherto been hostile to the M
nation, but who are, nevertheless, of our own blood and race. In general, those considerations of which I have given a brief summary in the chapter on
became the guiding rules and principles which determined the kind of propaganda we were to adopt in our campaign and the method by which we were to carry it out. The success that has been obtained proves that our decision was right.</p><p>(8) The ends which any political reform movement sets out to attain can never be reached by trying to educateM
the public or influence those in power, but only by getting political power into its hands. It is not only the right, but the duty, of the protagonists of any world shattering ideal to secure control of such means as will enable them to realise that idea.</p><blockquote><p>385</p></blockquote><p>In this world, success is the standard whereby we can decide whether such an undertaking was right or wrong, and by the word
in this connection I do not mean such a success as the mere acquisition of power inM
1918, but the beneficial results of such an acquisition of power. A<i>coup d
etat</i>cannot, therefore, he considered successful if, as many empty-headed critics in Germany now, believe, the revolutionaries succeeded in seizing control of the State, but only if, in comparison with the state of affairs under the old regime, the lot of the nation has been improved when the aims and intentions on which the revolution was based have been put into practice. This certainly does not apply to the German Revolution, as tM
he coup was called, which was effected by a gang of bandits in the autumn of 1918. But if the acquisition of political power be a requisite preliminary for the practical realisation of the ideals that inspire a reform movement, then any movement which aims at reform must, from the very first day of its activity, be considered by its leaders as a movement of the masses and not as a literary tea-club or an association of Philistines who meet to play ninepins.</p><p>(9) The nature and internal organisation of the new M
movement make it anti-parliamentarian. That is to say, it rejects in general, and in its own structure, the principle according to which decisions are to be taken on the vote of the majority and according to which the leader is only the executor of the will and opinion of others. The movement lays down the principle that, in the smallest, as well as in the greatest, problems, one person must have absolute authority and bear all responsibility. In the movement the practical consequences of this principle are as follM
ows: The president of a local group is appointed by the head of the group immediately above his in authority. He is then the responsible leader of his group. All the committees are subject to his authority and not he to theirs.</p><blockquote><p>386</p></blockquote><p>There is no such thing as committees that vote, but only committees that work. This work is allotted by the responsible leader, who is the president of the group. The same principle applies to the higher organisations
the<i>Bezirk</i>(district), theM
<i>Kreis</i>(urban circuit) and the<i>Gau</i>(the region). In each case the president is appointed from above and is invested with full authority and executive power. Only the leader of the whole party is elected, at the general meeting of the members, but he is the sole leader of the movement. All the committees are responsible to him, but he is not responsible to the committees. His decision is final, but he bears the whole responsibility for it. The members of the movement are entitled to call him to account by M
means of a new election, or to remove him from office, if he has violated the principles of the movement or has not served its interests adequately. He is then replaced by a more capable man, who is invested with the same authority and obliged to bear the same responsibility. One of the highest duties of the movement is to make this principle valid not only within its own ranks, but also for the whole State. The man who becomes leader is invested with supreme and unlimited authority, but he also has to bear the finM
al and heaviest responsibility. The man who has not the courage to shoulder responsibility for his actions is not fitted to be a leader. Only a man of heroic mould can have the vocation for such a task. Human progress and human culture are not founded by the multitude. They are exclusively the work of personal genius and personal efficiency. To cultivate these and give them their due, is one of the conditions necessary for the regaining of the prestige and power of our nation. Because of this principle, the movemenM
t must necessarily be anti-parliamentarian: and if it takes part in a parliamentary institution it must be only for the purpose of destroying this institution from within; in other words, we wish to do away with an institution which we must look upon as one of the gravest symptoms of human decline.</p><blockquote><p>387</p></blockquote><p>(10) The movement steadfastly refuses to take up any stand in regard to problems which are either outside of its sphere of political work or seem to have no fundamental importanceM
for it. It does not aim at bringing about a religious reformation, but rather a political re-organisation of our people. It looks upon the two religious denominations as equally valuable mainstays for the existence of our people, and therefore it makes war on all those parties which would degrade the foundation on which the religious and moral stability of our people is based, by exploiting it in the service of party interests. Finally, the movement does not aim at re-establishing any one form of State or trying tM
o destroy another, but rather at making those fundamental principles prevail without which no republic and no monarchy can exist for any length of time. The movement does not consider its mission to be the establishment of a monarchy or the preservation of the Republic but rather the creation of a Germanic State. The problem of the external form of this State, that is to say, its final shape, is not of fundamental importance. It is a problem which must be solved in the light of what seems practical and opportune. OM
nce a nation has understood and appreciated the great problems that affect its inner existence, the question of formalities will never lead to internal conflict.</p><p>(11) The problem of the inner organisation of the movement is not one of principle, but of expediency. The best kind of organisation is not that which places a large intermediary apparatus between the leadership of the movement and the individual followers, but rather that which functions with the smallest possible intermediary apparatus. For it is tM
he task of such an organisation to transmit a certain idea, which originated in the brain of one individual, to a multitude of people and to supervise the manner in which this idea is being put into practice. From any and every point of view, therefore, the organisation is only a necessary evil. At best it is only a means to an end, at the worst, an end in itself.</p><blockquote><p>388</p></blockquote><p>Since the world produces more mechanically-minded beings than idealists, it will always be easier to develop theM
form of an organisation than its substance, that is to say, the ideals which it is meant to serve. The march of any ideal which strives towards practical fulfilment, and in particular those ideals which are of a reformatory character, may be roughly sketched as follows: A creative idea takes shape in the mind of somebody who thereupon feels himself called upon to transmit this idea to the world. He propounds his faith to others and thereby gradually gains a certain number of followers. This direct and personal wayM
of promulgating one
s contemporaries is the most natural and the best, but as the movement develops and secures a large number of followers it gradually becomes impossible for the original founder of the doctrine on which the movement is based, to carry on his propaganda personally among his many followers and at the same time to guide the course of the movement. According as the community of followers increases, direct communication between the head and the individual followers becomes imposM
sible. This intercourse must then take place through an intermediary apparatus introduced into the framework of the movement. Thus ideal conditions of intercommunication cease, and organisation has to be introduced as a necessary evil. Small subsidiary groups come into existence, as in the political movement, for example, where the local groups represent the germ-cells out of which the organisation develops later. But such subdivisions must not be introduced into the movement until the authority of the spiritual foM
under, and of the school he has created, are accepted without reservation. Otherwise the movement would run the risk of becoming split up by divergent doctrines. In this connection too much emphasis cannot be laid on the importance of having one geographic centre as the chief seat of the movement.</p><blockquote><p>389</p></blockquote><p>Only the existence of such a seat, or centre, around which a magic spell such as that of Mecca or Rome is woven, can supply a movement, with that permanent driving force which has M
its source in the internal unity of the movement, and the recognition of one head as representing this unity. When the first germ-cells of the organisation are being formed, care must always be taken not only to insist on the importance of the place where the idea originated, but to invest it with a sublime significance. The creative, moral and practical significance of the place whence the movement went forth and from which it is governed must be stressed in the same measure in which the original cells of the moveM
ment become so numerous that they have to be regrouped into larger units in the structure of the organisation. When, the number of individual followers becomes so large that direct personal, contact with the head of the movement is out of the question, we have to form those first local groups. As these groups multiply it becomes necessary to establish higher cadres in which the local groups are organised. Examples of such cadres in the political organisation are those of the region (<i>Gau</i>) and the district (<iM
>Bezirk</i>). Though it may be easy enough to maintain the original central authority over the lowest groups, it is much more difficult to do so in relation to the higher units of organisation which have now developed. Yet we must succeed in doing so, for this is an indispensable condition if the unity of the movement is to be guaranteed and its ideal realised. Finally, when those larger intermediary organisations have to be combined in new and still higher units, it becomes increasingly difficult to maintain the aM
bsolute supremacy of the original seat of the movement and its school of thought. Consequently, the mechanical forms of an organisation must only be introduced if, and in so far as, the spiritual authority and the ideas of the central seat of the organisation are shown to be firmly established. In the case of a political structure, this authority can frequently be guaranteed only by the exercise of power.</p><blockquote><p>390</p></blockquote><p>Having taken all these considerations into account, the following prinM
ciples were laid down for the inner structure of the movement:</p><p>(a) That at the beginning all activity should be concentrated in one town: namely, Munich. That a group of absolutely reliable followers should be trained and a school founded which would subsequently help to propagate the ideal of the Movement. That the necessary authority for later should be established by gaining many and visible successes in this particular place. To secure name and fame for the Movement and its leader it was necessary, not onM
ly to give, in this one town, a striking example to shatter the belief that the Marxist doctrine was invincible, but also to show that a counterdoctrine was possible.</p><p>(b) That local groups should not be established before the supremacy of the central authority in Munich was definitely established and acknowledged.</p><p>(c) That District, Regional, and Provincial groups should be formed not only after the need for them had become evident, but after the supremacy of the central authority has been satisfactorilM
y guaranteed. Further, that the creation of subordinate units should depend on whether or not persons could be found who were qualified to undertake the leadership thereof.</p>Here there are two alternatives:<p>(a) That the movement should have the necessary funds to attract and train intelligent people who would be capable of becoming leaders. The personnel thus obtained could then be systematically employed according as the tactical situation and the necessity for efficiency demanded. This solution is the easier M
and the more expeditious, but it necessitates large financial resources, for this group of leaders can work for the Movement only if they are paid a salary.</p><p>(b) Because the Movement, owing to lack of funds, is not in a position to employ paid officials it must begin by depending on voluntary helpers. Naturally this solution is slower and more difficult.</p><blockquote><p>391</p></blockquote><p>It means that the leaders of the Movement have to allow large districts to remain uncanvassed, unless in these respecM
tive districts a member comes forward who is capable and willing to place himself at the service of the central authority for the purpose of organising and directing the Movement in the region concerned. It may happen that in extensive regions no such leader can be found, but that at the same time in other regions two or three or even more persons appear whose capabilities are almost on a level. The difficulty which this situation involves is very great and can be overcome only with the passage of time. The necessaM
ry condition for the establishment of any branch of the organisation must always be that a person can be found who is capable of fulfilling the functions of a leader. Just as the army and all its various units of organisation are useless if there are no officers, so any political organisation is worthless, if it has not the right kind of leaders. If an inspiring personality who has the gift of leadership cannot be mound for the organisation and direction of a local group it is better for the Movement to refrain froM
m establishing such a group, than to run the risk of failure after the group has been founded. A necessary qualification for leadership is the possession, not only of will-power, but of efficiency, and will-power and energy must be considered as more important than the intellect of a genius. The most valuable association of qualities is a combination of talent, determination and perseverance.</p><p>(12) The future of a movement is determined by the devotion, and even intolerance, with which its members fight for thM
eir cause. They must feel convinced that their cause alone is just, and they must carry it through to success, as against other similar organisations in the same field. It is quite erroneous to believe that the strength of a movement must increase if it is to be combined with other movements of a similar kind.</p><blockquote><p>392</p></blockquote><p>Any expansion resulting from such a combination will of course mean an increase in external development, which superficial, observers might consider to be also an incrM
ease of power; but in reality the movement thus admits outside elements which will subsequently weaken its constitutional vigour. Though it may be said that one movement is identical in character with another, in reality no such identity exists. If it did exist, then in practice there would not be two movements, but only one. No matter what the difference may be, even if it consists only in the measure in which the capabilities of the one set of leaders differ from those of the other, it is still there. It is againM
st the natural law of all development to couple dissimilar organisms; for the law is that the stronger must overcome the weaker and, through the struggle necessary for such a conquest, increase the constitutional vigour and effective strength of the victor. By amalgamating political organisations that are approximately alike, certain immediate advantages may be gained, but advantages thus gained are bound in the long run to become the cause of internal weaknesses which will make their appearance later on. A movemenM
t can become great only if the unhampered development of its internal strength be safeguarded and steadfastly augmented, until victory over all rivals is secured. One may safely say that the strength of a movement and its right to existence can be developed only as long as it remains true to the principle that struggle is a necessary condition of its progress and that it has exceeded the maximum limit of its strength at that moment in which complete victory, is within its grasp. Therefore, a movement must not strivM
e to obtain successes that will be only immediate and transitory, but it must show a spirit of uncompromising perseverance in carrying on a long struggle which will secure for it a long period of inner growth. All those movements which owe their expansion to a so-called combination of similar organisms, which means that their external strength is due to a policy of compromise, are like plants whose growth is forced in a hot-house. They shoot up rapidly, but they lack that inner strength which enables the natural plM
ant to grow into a tree that will withstand the storms of centuries.</p><blockquote><p>393</p></blockquote><p>The greatness of every powerful organisation which embodies a creative ideal lies in the spirit of religious devotion and intolerance with which it stands out against all others, because it has an ardent faith in its own cause. If an ideal is right in itself and, furnished with the fighting weapons I have mentioned, wages war on this earth, then it is invincible and persecution will only add to its internalM
strength. The greatness of Christianity did not arise from attempts to make compromises with those philosophical opinions of the ancient world which had some resemblance to its own doctrine, but in the unrelenting and fanatical proclamation and defence of its own teaching. The apparent advance that a movement makes by associating itself with other movements will be easily reached and surpassed by the steady increase of strength which a doctrine and its organisation acquires if it remains independent and fights itsM
own cause alone.</p><p>(13) The movement ought to educate its adherents on the principle that struggle must not be considered a necessary evil, but as something desirable in itself. Therefore, they must not be afraid of the hostility which their adversaries manifest towards them, but they must take it as a necessary condition on which their own right to existence is based. They must not try to avoid being hated by those who are the enemies of our people and our<i>Weltanschauung</i>, but must welcome such hatred. LM
ies and calumnies are part of the method which the enemy employs to express his hatred. The man who is not opposed, vilified and slandered in the Jewish press is not a staunch German and not a true National Socialist. The best standard whereby the sincerity of his convictions, his character and strength of will can be measured is the hostility which his name arouses among the mortal enemies of our people. The followers of the Movement, and indeed the whole nation, must be reminded again and again of the fact that, M
through the medium of his newspapers, the Jew is always spreading falsehood. If he tells the truth on certain occasions, it is only for the purpose of masking some greater deception, which turns the apparent truth into a deliberate falsehood.</p><blockquote><p>394</p></blockquote><p>The Jew is past master in the art of lying. Falsehood and duplicity are the weapons with which he fights. Every calumny and falsehood published by the Jews are honourable scars borne by our comrades. He whom they decry most is nearest tM
o our hearts and he whom they mortally hate is our best friend. If a comrade of ours opens a Jewish newspaper in the morning and does not find himself vilified there, then he has wasted the previous day, for, if he had achieved something, he would be persecuted, slandered, derided, and abused. Those who effectively combat this mortal enemy of our people, who is at the same time the enemy of an Aryan peoples and all culture, can only expect to arouse: opposition on the part of this race and become the object of its M
slanderous attacks. When these truths become part of the flesh and blood, as it were, of our members, then the Movement will be unshakable and invincible.</p><p>(14) The Movement must use every possible means to cultivate respect for the individual personality. It must never forget that all human values are based on personal values, and that every idea and achievement is the fruit of the creative power of one man. We must never forget that admiration for everything that is great, is not only a tribute to one creatiM
ve personality, but that all those who feel such admiration become thereby united under one covenant. Nothing can take the place of the individual, especially if the individual embodies in himself not the mechanical element, but the element of cultural creative ability. No pupil can take the place of the master in completing a great picture which he has left unfinished; and just in the same way no substitute can take the place of the great poet or thinker, the great statesman or the great general, for their activitM
y lies in the realm of artistic creative ability which can never be mechanically acquired, because it is an innate and divine gift. The greatest revolutions and the greatest achievements of this world, its greatest cultural works and the immortal creations of great statesmen, are inseparably bound up with one name which stands as a symbol for them in each respective case.</p><blockquote><p>395</p></blockquote><p>Failure to pay tribute to one of those great spirits signifies a neglect of that enormous source, of powM
er which lies in the remembrance of all great men and women. The Jew is well aware of this. He, whose great men have always been great only in their efforts to destroy mankind and its civilisation, takes good care that they are worshipped as idols. The Jew tries to belittle the respect in which nations hold their own great men and women. He stigmatises this respect as
the cult of personality.
As soon as a nation has so far lost its courage as to submit to this impudent defamation on the part of the Jew, it reM
nounces the most important source of its own inner strength. This inner force cannot arise from a policy of pandering to the masses, but only from the worship of men of genius, with its uplifting and ennobling influence, to any of our speakers. Consider that only six or seven poor devils who were entirely unknown came together to found a movement which should succeed in doing what the great mass-parties had failed to do, namely, to reconstruct a German Reich, having even greater power and glory than before. We shouM
ld have been very pleased if we had been attacked or even ridiculed, but the most depressing fact was that nobody paid any attention to us whatsoever. This utter lack of interest in us caused me great mental distress at that time. When I entered the circle of these men there was not yet any question of a party or a movement. I have already described the impression which was made on me when I first came into contact with that small organisation. Subsequently, I had time and opportunity, to study the impossible form M
of this so-called party. The picture was indeed depressing and discouraging. It was a party only in name and absolutely devoid of significance. The committee consisted of all the party members. Somehow or other, it seemed just the kind of thing we were about to fight against
a miniature parliament.</p><blockquote><p>396</p></blockquote><p>The voting system was employed. When the members of the great parliaments cried until they were hoarse, at least they shouted over problems of importance, but here this small ciM
rcle engaged in interminable discussions as to the form in which they might answer the letters which they were delighted to have received. Needless to say, the public knew nothing of all this. In Munich nobody knew of the existence of such a party, not even by name, except our own few members and their small circle of acquaintances. Every Wednesday, what was called a committee meeting was held in one of the caf
s, and a debate was arranged for one evening each week. In the beginning, all the members, of the
were also members of the committee; therefore the same persons always turned up at both meetings. The first step that had to be taken was to extend the narrow limits of this small circle and get new members, but, above all, it was necessary to utilise all the means at our command for the purpose of making the movement known. We chose the following methods. We attempted to hold a
every month, and later, every fortnight. Some of the invitations were typewritten, and some were written by hand. FM
or the first few meetings we distributed them in the streets and delivered them personally at certain houses. Each one canvassed among his own acquaintances and tried to persuade some of them to attend our meetings. The result was lamentable. I still remember how I personally once delivered eighty of these invitations and how we waited in the evening for the crowds to come. After waiting in vain for a whole hour the
finally had to open the
Again there were only seven persons present, tM
he old familiar seven. We then changed our methods. We had the invitations typewritten and multi-graphed at a Munich stationer
s shop. The result was that a few more people attended our next meeting. The number increased, gradually from eleven to, thirteen, to seventeen, to twenty-three and finally to thirty-four.</p><blockquote><p>397</p></blockquote><p>We collected some money within our own circle, each poor soul giving a small contribution, and in that way we raised sufficient funds to be able to advertise oneM
of our meetings in the<i>M
nchener Beobachter</i>, which was then an independent paper. This time we had an astonishing success. We had chosen the Munich Hofbr
uhaus Keller (which must not be confounded with the Munich Hofbr
uhaus-Festsaal) as our meeting-place. It was a small hall and would accommodate scarcely more than one hundred and thirty persons. To me, however, the hall seemed enormous, and we were all trembling lest this tremendous edifice would remain partly empty on the night of the meeting. At sevenM
clock one hundred and eleven persons were present, and the meeting was opened. A Munich professor delivered the principal address, and I spoke after him. That was my first appearance in the role of public orator. The whole thing seemed a very daring adventure to Herr Harrer, who was then chairman of the Party. He was a very decent fellow, but he had an<i>a priori</i>conviction that, though I might have, quite a number of good qualities, I certainly did not have a talent for public speaking. Even later he couldM
not be persuaded to change his opinion. Things turned out differently. Twenty minutes had been allotted to me for my speech on this occasion, which might be looked upon as our first public meeting. I spoke for thirty minutes, and what I always had felt deep down in my heart, without being able to put it to the test, was here proved to be true; I could make a good speech. At the end of the thirty minutes, it, was quite clear that all the people in the little hall had been profoundly impressed. The enthusiasm arouseM
d among them found its first expression in the fact that my appeal to those present brought us donations which amounted to three hundred marks. That was a great relief to us. Our finances were at that time so meagre that we could not afford to have our party programme, or even leaflets, printed. Now we possessed at least the nucleus of a fund from which we could meet the most urgent and necessary expenses.</p><blockquote><p>398</p></blockquote><p>The success of this first larger meeting was also important from anotM
her point of view. I had already begun to introduce some young and fresh members into the committee. During the long period of my military service I had come to know a large number of good comrades whom I was now able to persuade to join our Party. All of them were energetic and disciplined young men who, through their years of military service, had been imbued with the conviction that nothing is impossible and that where there
s a way. The need for this fresh blood became evident to me after a fM
ew weeks of collaboration with the new members. Herr Harrer, who was then chairman of the Party, was a journalist by profession, and as such, he was a well-educated man, but as leader of the Party he had one very serious handicap
he could not speak to the crowd. Though he did his work conscientiously, it lacked the necessary driving force, probably for the reason that he had no oratorical gifts whatsoever. Herr Drexler, at that time chairman of the Munich local group, was a simple working man. He, too, was not ofM
any great importance as a speaker. Moreover, he was not a soldier. He had never done military service, even during the War, so that he, who was feeble and diffident by nature, had missed the only school which can transform diffident and weakly natures into real men. Therefore neither of those two men were of the stuff that would have enabled them to have an ardent and indomitable faith in the ultimate triumph of the Movement and to brush aside, with obstinate force and, if necessary, with brutal ruthlessness, all M
obstacles that stood in the path of the new ideal. Such a task could be carried out only by men who had been trained, body and soul, in those military virtues which make a man, so to speak, agile as a greyhound, tough as leather, and hard as Krupp steel. At that time I was still a soldier. Physically and mentally I had the polish of six years of service, so that in the beginning this circle must have looked on me as quite a stranger. In common with my army comrades, I had forgotten such phrases as,
That is not possible,
We ought not to take such a risk; it is too dangerous.
</p><blockquote><p>399</p></blockquote><p>The whole undertaking was, of its very nature, dangerous. At that time there were many parts of Germany where it would have been absolutely impossible to invite people openly to a national meeting that dared to make a direct appeal to the masses. Those who attended such meetings were usually dispersed and driven away with broken heads. It certainly did not call for any M
great qualities to be able to do things in that way. The largest so-called bourgeois mass meetings were accustomed to dissolve, and those in attendance would scuttle away like rabbits frightened by a dog, as soon as a dozen communists appeared on the scene. The Reds used to pay little attention to those bourgeois organisations where only babblers talked. They recognised the inner triviality of such associations much better than the members themselves and therefore felt that they need not be afraid of them. On the oM
ther hand, however, they were all the more determined to use every possible means of annihilating, once and for all, any movement that appeared to them to be dangerous. The most effective means which they always employed in such cases were terrorism and brute force. The Marxist leaders, whose business consisted in deceiving and misleading the public, naturally hated most of all a movement whose declared aim was to win over those masses which had hitherto been exclusively at the service of international Marxism in tM
he Jewish and Stock Exchange parties. The mere title,
German Labour Party,
irritated them. It could easily be foreseen that at the first opportune moment we should have to face the opposition of the Marxist despots who were still intoxicated with their triumph in 1918. People in the small circle of our own Movement at that time showed a certain amount of anxiety at the prospect of such a conflict. They wanted to refrain as much as possible from coming out into the open, because they feared that they might be M
attacked and beaten. In their minds they saw our first public meetings broken up and feared that the Movement might thus be ruined for ever.</p><blockquote><p>400</p></blockquote><p>I found it difficult to defend my own opinion, which was, that the conflict should not be evaded, but that it should be faced openly and that we should be armed with those weapons which are the only protection against brute force. Terrorism cannot be overcome by the weapons of the mind, but only by counter-terror. The success of our firM
st public meeting strengthened my own position. The members felt encouraged to arrange for a second meeting on a somewhat larger scale. Some time in October 1919 the second larger meeting took place in the Eberlbr
ukeller. The theme of our speeches was
Brest-Litovsk and Versailles.
There were four speakers. I spoke for almost an hour, and my success was even more striking than at our first meeting. The number of people who attended had increased to over one hundred and thirty. An attempt to disturb the proceM
edings was immediately frustrated by my comrades. The would-be disturbers were thrown down the stairs, with bruised heads. A fortnight later, another meeting took place in the same hall. The number in attendance had now increased to more than one hundred and seventy, which meant that the room was fairly well filled. I spoke again, and once more the success obtained was greater than at the previous meeting. Then I proposed that a larger hall should be found. After looking around for some time we discovered one at thM
e other end of the town, in the<i>Deutsches Reich</i>in the Dachauer Strasse. The first meeting at this new rendezvous had a smaller attendance than the previous meeting. There were just about one hundred and forty present. The members of the committee began to be discouraged, and those who had always been sceptical were now convinced that this falling-off in the attendance was due to the fact that we were holding the meetings at too short intervals. There were lively, discussions, in which I upheld my own opinion M
that a city of seven hundred thousand inhabitants ought to be able not only to stand one meeting every fortnight, but ten meetings every week. I held that we should not be discouraged by one set-back, that the tactics we had chosen were correct, and that sooner or later success would be ours if we only continued with determined perseverance to push forward on our road. This whole winter of 1919
20 was one continual struggle to strengthen confidence in our ability to carry the Movement on to success, and, to intenM
sify this confidence, until it became a burning faith that could move mountains.</p><blockquote><p>401</p></blockquote><p>Our next meeting in the same hall proved the truth of my contention. Our audience had increased to more than two hundred. The publicity effect and the financial success were splendid. I immediately urged that a further meeting should be held. It took pace in less than a fortnight, and there were more than two hundred and seventy people present. Two weeks later, we invited our followers and theirM
friends, for the seventh time to attend our meeting. The same hall was scarcely large enough for the number that came. They amounted to more than four hundred. During this phase the young Movement developed its inner form. Some times we had more or less heated discussions within our small circle. On various sides
it was then just the same as it is to-day
objections were made against the idea of calling the young Movement a party. I have always considered such criticism as a demonstration of practical incapabilM
ity and narrow-mindedness on the part of the critic. Such objections have always been raised by men who cannot differentiate between external appearances and inner strength, but try to judge a movement by the high-sounding character of the name attached to it and to this end they ransack the vocabulary of our ancestors, with unfortunate results. At that time it was very difficult to make the people understand that every movement is a party as long as it has not realised its ideas and thus achieved its purpose. It iM
s a party no matter by what name it chooses to call itself. Any person who tries to carry into practice an original idea whose realisation would be for the benefit of his fellow men will first have to look for disciples who are ready to fight for the ends he has in view. Even if these aims were merely to destroy the existing party system, and thereby to put a stop to the process of disintegration, then all those who come forward as protagonists and apostles of such an ideal are a party in themselves as long as theiM
r final goal is not reached.</p><blockquote><p>402</p></blockquote><p>It is only hair-splitting and playing with words if these antiquated<i>v
lkisch</i>theorists, whose practical success is in inverse ratio to their wisdom, presume to think they can change the character of a movement, which is at the same time a party, by merely changing its name. If there is anything which is non-<i>v
lkisch</i>it is this messing about with old Germanic expressions, in particular, which neither suit the present time nor conjureM
up a definite picture. This habit of borrowing words from the dead past tends to mislead the people into thinking that the external trappings of its vocabulary are the important feature of a movement. It is a mischievous habit; but it is very prevalent nowadays. At that time, and subsequently, I had to warn followers repeatedly against these wandering<i>v
lkisch</i>scholars who never accomplished anything positive or practical, except to cultivate their own superabundant self-conceit. The new Movement must guard M
against an influx of people whose only recommendation is their own statement that they have been fighting for these same ideals for the last thirty or forty years. Now, if somebody has fought for forty years to carry into effect what he calls an ideal, and if these alleged efforts not only show no positive results, but have not even been able to hinder the success of the opposing party, then the story of those forty years of futile effort furnishes sufficient proof for the incompetence of such a protagonist. PeopleM
of that kind are especially dangerous because they do not want to participate in the movement as ordinary members. They talk rather of the leading positions which, in view of their past work and also of their intended activities in the future, are the only positions they are fitted to fill, but woe to a young movement if the conduct of it should fall into the hands of such people. A business man who has been in charge of a great firm for forty years and who has completely ruined it through mismanagement is not theM
kind of person one would recommend as the founder of a new firm, nor would a<i>v
lkisch</i>-minded Methuselah who, for the space of forty years, has been preaching a great ideal, until it has lost all meaning and vitality, be a suitable leader of a fresh young movement. Furthermore, only a very small percentage of such people join a new movement with the intention of serving its ends unselfishly and helping in the spread of its principles.</p><blockquote><p>403</p></blockquote><p>In most cases they come because tM
hey think that, under the aegis of the movement, it will be possible for them to promulgate their old ideas, to the misfortune of their new listeners. Anyhow, nobody ever seems able to make out what exactly these ideas are. It is typical of such persons that they rant about ancient Teutonic heroes of the dim and distant ages, stone axes, battle-spears and shields, whereas in reality they themselves are the woefullest poltroons imaginable. For they are the very same people who brandish Teutonic tin swords that have M
been fashioned carefully according to ancient models and wear padded bear-skins, with the horns of oxen mounted over their bearded faces, proclaim that all contemporary conflicts must be decided by the weapons of the mind alone, and skedaddle at the very sight of a communist cudgel. Posterity will have little occasion to write a new epic on these heroic gladiators. I have seen too much of that kind of person not to feel a profound contempt for their miserable play-acting. To the masses of the nation they are just aM
n object of ridicule; but the Jew finds it to his own interest to treat these<i>v
lkisch</i>comedians with respect and to prefer them to real men who are fighting to establish a German State. Yet such people are extremely proud of themselves. Notwithstanding their complete fecklessness, which is an established fact, they pretend to know everything better than other people; so much so, that they make themselves a veritable nuisance to all sincere and honest patriots, to whom not only the heroism of the past is wortM
hy of honour, but who also feel bound to leave examples of their own work for the inspiration of the coming generation. Among these people there are some whose conduct can be explained by their innate stupidity and incompetence; but there are others who have a definite ulterior purpose in view. Often it is difficult to distinguish between the two classes. The impression which I often get, especially of those so-called religious reformers whose creed is grounded on ancient Germanic customs, is that they are the missM
s of those forces which do not wish to see a national revival taking place in Germany.</p><blockquote><p>404</p></blockquote><p>All their activities tend to turn the attention of, the people away from the necessity of fighting together for a common cause against the common enemy, namely, the Jew. More ever, that kind of preaching induces the people to use up their energies, not in fighting for the common cause, but in absurd and ruinous religious controversies within their own ranks. These areM
definite grounds that make it absolutely necessary for the movement to be dominated by a strong central force which is embodied in the authoritative leadership. In this way alone is it possible to counteract the activity of such fatal elements, and that is just the reason why these<i>v
lkisch</i>Ahasueruses are vigorously hostile to any movement whose members are firmly united under one leader and one discipline. Those people of whom I have, spoken hate such a movement because it is capable of putting a stop to tM
heir mischief. It was not without good reason that when we laid down a clearly defined programme for the new movement we excluded the word<i>v
lkisch</i>from it. The concept underlying the term<i>v
lkisch</i>cannot serve as the basis of a movement, because it is too indefinite and general in its application. Therefore, if somebody calls himself<i>v
lkisch</i>this cannot be taken as a sign of party membership. Because this concept is practically indefinable it gives rise to various interpretations and thus peopleM
can use it all the more easily as a sort of personal recommendation. Whenever such a vague concept, which is subject to so many interpretations, is admitted into a political movement it tends to break up the disciplined solidarity of the fighting forces. No such solidarity can be maintained if each individual member is allowed to define for himself what he believes and what he is willing to do. One feels it a disgrace when one notices the kind of people who trot about nowadays with the<i>v
lkisch</i>symbol stuck M
in their buttonholes, and at the same time realises how many people have various ideas of their own as to the significance of that symbol.</p><blockquote><p>405</p></blockquote><p>A well-known professor in Bavaria, a famous combatant who fights only with the weapons of the mind and who boasts of having laid siege to Berlin (with the weapons of the mind, of course), believes that the word<i>v
lkisch</i>is synonymous with
But this learned authority has hitherto neglected to explain how our German M
monarchs of the past can be identified with what we generally mean by the word<i>v
lkisch</i>to-day. I am afraid he will find himself at a loss, if he is asked to give a precise answer, for it would be very difficult indeed to imagine anything less<i>v
lkisch</i>than were most of those German monarchical states. Had they been otherwise they would not have disappeared; or if they were<i>v
lkisch</i>, then the fact of their downfall world have to be taken as evidence that the<i>v
lkisch Weltanschauung</i>is falseM
. Everybody interprets this concept in his own way, but such multifarious opinions cannot be adopted as the basis of a militant political movement. I need not call attention to the absolute lack of worldly wisdom, and especially failure to understand the soul of the nation, which is displayed by these<i>v
lkisch</i>John-the-Baptists of the twentieth century. Sufficient attention has been called to these people by the ridicule which the left-wing parties have heaped on them. They allow them to babble on and sneer aM
t them. I do not set much value on the friendship of people who do not succeed in getting themselves disliked by their enemies. Therefore, we considered the friendship of such people as not only worthless, but even dangerous to our young Movement. That was the principal reason why we first called ourselves a Party. We hoped that by giving ourselves such a name we might scare away a whole host of<i>v
lkisch</i>dreamers, and that was also the reason why we named our Party, The National Socialist German Labour Party.M
The first term, Party, kept away all those dreamers who live in the past and all lovers of bombastic nomenclature, as well as those who went around beating the big drum for the<i>v
lkisch</i>idea.</p><blockquote><p>406</p></blockquote><p>The full name of the Party kept away all those heroes whose weapon is the sword of the spirit and all those whining poltroons who take refuge behind their so-called
, as if it were a kind of shield. It was only to be expected that this latter class would launch M
a massed attack against us after our Movement had started; but, of course, it was only a pen-and-ink attack, for the goose-quill is the only weapon which these<i>v
lkisch</i>heroes wield. We had declared one of our principles thus,
We shall meet violence with violence in our own defence.
Naturally, that principle disturbed the equanimity of the knights of the pen. They reproached us bitterly not only for what they called our crude worship of the cudgel, but also because, according to them, we had no intellecM
tual forces on our side. These charlatans did not think for a moment that a Demosthenes could be reduced to silence at a mass meeting by fifty idiots who had come there to shout him down and use their fists against his supporters. The innate cowardice of the pen-and-ink charlatan prevents him from exposing himself to such a danger, for he always works in
and never dares to make a noise or come forward in public. Even to-day I must warn the members of our young Movement in the strongest possiblM
e terms to guard against the danger of falling into the snare of those who claim to work in
for they are not only a whitelivered lot, but are also and always will be ignorant do-nothings. A man who is aware of certain happenings and knows that a certain danger threatens, and at the same time sees a certain remedy which can be employed against it, is in duty bound not to work in
but to come into the open and publicly fight for the destruction of the evil and the acceptanM
ce of his own remedy. If he does not do so, then he is neglecting his duty and shows that he is weak in character and that he fails to act either because of his timidity, his indolence or his incompetence. Most of those who work in
generally pretend to know God knows what. Not one of them is capable of any real achievement, but they keep on trying to fool the world with their antics.</p><blockquote><p>407</p></blockquote><p>Though quite indolent, they try to create the impression that their pM
eaceful, quiet work keeps them very busy. To put it briefly, they are sheer swindlers, political jobbers who feel chagrined by the honest work which others are doing. When you find one of these<i>v
lkisch</i>moths talking of the value of
you may be sure that you are dealing with a fellow who does no productive work at all, but steals from others the fruits of their honest labour. In addition to all this one ought to note the arrogance and conceited impudence with which these obscurantist idlM
ers try to tear to pieces the work of other people, criticising it with an air of superiority, and thus playing into the hands of the mortal enemy of our people. Even the simplest follower who has the courage to stand on the table in some beer-hall where his enemies are gathered, and manfully and openly defend his position against them, achieves a thousand times more than these slinking hypocrites. He will convert at least one or two people to believe in the movement. We can examine his work and test its effectivenM
ess by its actual results, but those cowardly swindlers, who praise their own work done in
and shelter under the cloak of anonymity, are just worth less drones, in the truest sense of the term, and are utterly useless for the purpose of our national reconstruction. At the beginning of 1920 I put forward the idea of holding our first mass meeting. On this proposal there were differences of opinion amongst us. Some leading members of our Party thought that the time was not ripe for such a meetinM
g and that the result might be detrimental. The press of the Left had begun to take notice of us and we were lucky enough to be able gradually to arouse their wrath. We had begun to appear at other meetings and to ask questions or contradict the speakers, with the natural result, that we were shouted down forthwith, but still we thereby gained something. People began to know of our existence and the better they understood us, the stronger became their aversion and their enmity. Therefore we might expect that a largM
e contingent of our
from the Red camp would attend our first mass meeting.</p><blockquote><p>408</p></blockquote><p>I fully realised that there was a great probability that our meeting would be broken up, but we had to face the fight, if not now, then some months later. It was up to us from the very first to immortalise the Movement by defending it in a spirit of blind faith and ruthless determination. I was well acquainted with the mentality of all those who belonged to the Red camp and I knew quite M
well that if we opposed them tooth and nail not only would we make an impression on, them, but we might even win new followers for ourselves. Therefore, I felt that we must be prepared to offer such resistance. Herr Harrer was then chairman of our Party. He did not see eye to eye with me as to the opportune time for our first mass meeting. Accordingly, he felt himself obliged as an upright and honest man to resign from the leadership of the Movement. Herr Anton Drexler took his place. I kept the work of organising M
the propaganda in my own hands and carried it out uncompromisingly. We decided on February 24th, 1920, as the date for the first great popular meeting to be held under the auspices of this Movement which was hitherto unknown. I made all the preparatory arrangements personally. They did not take very long. The whole apparatus of our organisation was such that we were able to make rapid decisions. Within the space of twenty-four hours, we had to be able to arrange mass meetings at which our attitude on current probleM
ms was made known. The holding of these meetings was announced by means of posters and leaflets, the contents of which was in accordance with the principles which I have already laid down in dealing with propaganda in general. They were produced in a form which would appeal to the crowd. They concentrated on a few points which were repeated again and again. The text was concise and definite, an absolutely dogmatic form of expression being used. We distributed these posters and leaflets with a dogged energy and thenM
we patiently waited for the effect they would produce.</p><blockquote><p>409</p></blockquote><p>For our principal colour we chose red, as it has an exciting effect on the eye and was calculated to arouse the attention of our opponents and irritate them. Thus they would have to take notice of us whether they liked it or not and would not forget us. During the period which followed, the close bond of union between the Marxists and the Centre party (in Bavaria as elsewhere) was clearly revealed by the strenuous efforM
ts made by the Bavarian People
s Party, which was omnipotent here to counteract the effect which our placards were having on the
masses. If the police could find no other grounds for prohibiting the display of our placards, then they might claim that we were disturbing the traffic in the streets. Thus the so-called German National People
s Party calmed the anxieties of their
allies by completely prohibiting those placards which proclaimed a message that was bringing back hundreds of thousandM
s of workers who had been misled by international agitators and worked up against their own nation to the bosom of their own people. These placards bear witness to the bitterness of the struggle in which the young Movement was then engaged. Future generations will find in these placards documentary evidence of our determination and the justice of our own cause. They will also prove how the so-called national officials took arbitrary action to strangle a movement that did not please them, because it was making the bM
road masses of the people national-minded and winning them back to their own racial stock. These placards will also help to refute the theory that there was then a national, government in Bavaria and they will afford documentary confirmation of the fact that if Bavaria remained national-minded during the years 1919, 1920, 1921, 1922 and 1923, this was not due to a national government, but was because the national spirit gradually gained a deeper hold on the people and the government was forced to follow public feelM
ing. The government authorities themselves did everything in their power to hamper this process of recovery and make it impossible, but in this connection two officials must be mentioned as outstanding exceptions. Ernst P
hner was Chief of Police at the time. He had a loyal counsellor in Dr. Frick, who was his chief executive officer.</p><blockquote><p>410</p></blockquote><p>These were the only men among the higher officials who had the courage to place the interests of their country before their own interests in M
holding on to their jobs. Of those in responsible positions, Ernst P
hner was the only one who did not pay court to the mob, but felt that his duty was towards the nation as such and was ready to risk and sacrifice everything, even his personal livelihood, to help in the restoration of the German people, whom he dearly loved. For that reason he was a bitter thorn in the side of the venal group of government officials. It was not the interests of the nation or the necessity of a national revival that inspired or diM
rected their conduct. They simply truckled to the wishes of the government, as their employer, but they had no thought whatsoever for the national welfare for which they were responsible. Above all, P
hner was one of those people who, in contradiction to the majority of our so-called defenders of the authority of the State, did not fear to incur the enmity of the traitors to the country and the nation, but rather courted it as mark of honour. For such men the hatred of the Jews and Marxists, and the lies and calumM
nies they spread concerning them, was their only source of happiness in the midst of the national misery. P
hner was a man of absolute honesty, classic simplicity and German straightforwardness for whom the saying
Better dead than a slave
is not an empty phrase, but the essence of his being. In my opinion, he and his collaborator, Dr. Frick, were the only men then holding positions in Bavaria who have the right to be considered as having taken an active part in the creation of a national Bavaria. Before holdM
ing our first great mass meeting it was necessary not only to have our propaganda material ready, but also to have the main items of our programme printed. In the second volume of this book I shall give a detailed account of, the guiding principles which we then followed in drawing up our programme. Here I will only say that, the programme was arranged not merely to set forth the form and scope of the young Movement, but also with an eye to making it understood by the broad masses.</p><blockquote><p>411</p></blockqM
uote><p>The so-called intellectual circles made jokes and sneered at it and then tried to criticise it, but the effect of our programme proved that the ideas which we then held were right. During those years I saw dozens of new movements arise and disappear without leaving a trace behind. Only one movement had survived; it is the National Socialist German Labour Party. To-day I am more convinced than ever before that, though they may combat us and try to paralyse our Movement, and though pettifogging party ministerM
s may forbid us the right of free speech, they cannot prevent the triumph of our ideals. When the present system of state administration and even the names of the political parties that represent it will be forgotten, the programmatic basis of the National Socialist Movement will supply the groundwork on which the future State will be built. The meetings which we held before January 1920 had enabled us to collect the financial means that were necessary to have, our first pamphlets and posters and our programme prinM
ted. I shall bring the first part of this book to a close by referring to our first great mass meeting, because that meeting marked the occasion on which the Party shed its fetters as a small association and exercised for the first time a definite influence on public opinion which is the most powerful factor of our age. At that time my chief anxiety was that we might not fill the hall and that we might have to face empty benches. I myself was firmly convinced that if only the people would come, this day would turn M
out a great success for the young movement so that it was with a feeling of tense excitement that I waited impatiently for the evening to come. It had been announced that the meeting would begin at 7.30 p.m. A quarter of an hour before the opening time I entered the<i>Festsaal</i>of the Hofbr
uhaus in the Platz in Munich and my heart nearly burst with joy. The great hall
for at that time it seemed very big to me
was filled to overflowing. Nearly two thousand persons were present, and, above all, those people hM
ad come whom we had always wished to reach. More than half the audience consisted of persons who seemed to be communists or independents. Our first great demonstration was destined, in their view, to come to an abrupt end.</p><blockquote><p>412</p></blockquote><p>But they were mistaken. When the first speaker had finished I got up to speak. After a few minutes I was met with a hailstorm of interruptions, and violent encounters broke out in the body of the hall. A handful of my loyal war-comrades and some other follM
owers grappled with the disturbers and gradually restored a semblance of order. I was able to continue my speech. After half an hour the applause began to drown the interruptions and the cat-calls. Then I turned to the question of our programme, which I proceeded to elucidate for the first time. Then interruptions gradually ceased and applause took their place. When I finally came to explain the twenty-five points and laid them, point by point, before the masses gathered there and asked them to pass their own judgmM
ent on each point, one after another was accepted with increasing enthusiasm. When the last point was reached I had before me a hall full of people united by a new conviction, a new faith and a new resolve. Nearly four hours had passed, when the hall began to clear. As the masses streamed towards the exits, crammed shoulder to shoulder, shoving and pushing, I knew that a Movement was now set afoot among the German people which would never fade into oblivion. A fire had been kindled from whose glowing heat the swordM
would be fashioned which would restore freedom to the German Siegfried and bring back life to the German nation. Beside the revival which I then foresaw, I also felt that the Goddess of Vengeance was now getting ready to redress the wrongs of November 9th 1918. The hall was emptied. The Movement was on the march.</p><blockquote><p>413</p></blockquote><blockquote><p>414</p></blockquote><h1 id="volume-two-the-national-socialist-movement">VOLUME TWO: THE NATIONAL SOCIALIST MOVEMENT</h1><blockquote><p>415</p></blockquM
ote><blockquote><p>416</p></blockquote><h1 id="chapter-1-weltanschauung-and-party">CHAPTER I:<em>WELTANSCHAUUNG</em>AND PARTY</h1><p>On February 24th 1920, the first great mass meeting under the auspices of, the new movement took place. In the Hofbr
uhaus-Festsaal in Munich the twenty-five theses which constituted the programme of our new Party were expounded to an audience of nearly two thousand people and each thesis was enthusiastically received. Thus we brought to the knowledge of the public the first principlM
es and lines of action along which was to be conducted the new struggle for the abolition of a confused mass of obsolete ideas and opinions which had obscure and often pernicious tendencies. A new force was to make its appearance among the timid and cowardly bourgeoisie. This force was destined to impede the triumphant advance of the Marxists and bring the chariot of Fate to a standstill just as it seemed about to reach its goal. It was evident that this new movement could gain the public significance and support wM
hich are necessary prerequisites in such a gigantic struggle only if it succeeded from the very outset in awakening a sacred conviction in the hearts of its followers. It was not a case of introducing a new electoral-slogan into the political field, but that an entirely new<i>Weltanschauung</i>of radical significance had to be established. One must try to recall from what a feeble jumble of opinions the so-called party programmes are usually
and brushed up or remodelled from time to time. If we want toM
gain an insight into these programmatic monstrosities we must carefully investigate the motives which inspire the average bourgeois
programme committee.
They are always influenced by one and the same preoccupation when they introduce something new into their programme or modify something already contained in it, namely, the results of the next election. The moment these artists in parliamentary government have the first glimmering of a suspicion that their beloved public may be ready to kick up its heels andM
escape from the harness of the old party wagon they begin to paint the shafts in new colours.</p><blockquote><p>417</p></blockquote><p>On such occasions the party astrologists and horoscope readers, the so-called
shrewd and experienced men,
come forward. For the most part they are old parliamentary hands whose political schooling has furnished them with ample experience. They can remember former occasions when the masses showed signs of losing patience and they now sense the imminence of a similar situation.M
Resorting to their old prescription, they form a
They go around among their beloved public and listen to what is being said. They carefully digest newspaper articles and gradually begin to sense what the broad masses really want, what they abhor and what they hope for. Every section of the working community and every class of employee is carefully studied and their secret wishes weighed and considered. Even the malicious slogans of a dangerous opposition are now suddenly looked upon as worthy of cM
onsideration, and to the astonishment of those who originally coined and circulated them, appear innocently and as a matter of course in the official vocabulary of the older parties. So the committees meet to revise the old programme and draw up a new one, for these people change their convictions just as the soldier changes his shirt in war-time when the old one is lousy. In the new programme, everyone gets everything he wants. The farmer is assured that the interests of agriculture will be safeguarded, the industM
rialist is assured of protection for his products, the consumer is assured that his interests will be protected in regards to market prices. Teachers are given higher salaries and civil servants will have better pensions. Widows and orphans will receive generous assistance from the State. Trade will be promoted. Tariffs will be lowered and even taxes, though they cannot be entirely abolished, will be almost done away with. It sometimes happens that one section of the public is forgotten or that one of the demands mM
ooted by the public has not reached the ears of the party.</p><blockquote><p>418</p></blockquote><p>In such a case what can still be pushed on to the programme, is hastily added, until finally it is felt that there are good grounds for hoping that the whole host of Philistines, including their wives, will have their anxieties laid to rest and will beam with satisfaction once again. And so, internally armed with faith in the goodness of God and the impenetrable stupidity of the electorate, the struggle for what is cM
the reconstruction of the Reich
can now begin. When the election day is over and the parliamentarians have held their last public meeting for the next five years, when they can leave their job of getting the populace to toe the line and can now devote themselves to higher and more pleasing tasks, then the programme committee is dissolved. The struggle for the progressive reorganisation of public affairs becomes once again a business of earning one
s daily bread, which for the parliamentarian, merely mM
eans drawing his salary. Morning after morning, the honourable member wends his way to the House, and though he may not enter the Chamber itself, he gets at least as far as the lobby, where there is the register of members attending the meeting. His onerous service on behalf of his constituents consists in entering his name and he receives in return a small indemnity as the well-earned reward of his unceasing and exhausting labours. After the lapse of four years, or if any crisis arises in which parliament seems faM
ced with the danger of dissolution, these gentlemen are suddenly fired with the desire for action. Just as the grub-worm cannot help growing into a cockchafer, these parliamentarian worms leave the great House of Puppets and on new wings flutter out among the beloved public. They address the electors once again, give an account of the enormous labours they have accomplished and emphasise the malicious obstinacy of their opponents. They do not always meet with grateful applause, for occasionally the unintelligent maM
sses throw rude and unfriendly remarks in their faces. When this spirit of public ingratitude reaches a certain pitch, there is only one way of saving the situation. The prestige of the party must be burnished up once again.</p><blockquote><p>419</p></blockquote><p>The programme has to be amended, the committee is called into existence once more, and so the swindle begins anew. Once we understand the impenetrable stupidity of our public, we cannot be surprised that such tactics prove successful. Led by the press anM
d blinded once again by the alluring appearance of the new programme, the bourgeois, as well as the proletarian herds of voters, faithfully return to the fold and re-elect their old deceivers. The
and labour candidate now change back again into the parliamentarian grub and become fat and rotund as they batten on the leaves that grow on the tree of public life to be retransformed into the glittering butterfly after another four years have passed. Scarcely anything can be so depressing as to watcM
h this process in sober reality and to be forced to observe this repeatedly recurring fraud. On a spiritual training ground of that kind it is not possible for the bourgeois forces to develop the strength which is necessary to carry on the fight against the organised might of Marxism. Indeed, they have never seriously thought of doing so. Despite the admitted limitations or mental inferiority of the white race
they cannot seriously imagine that they can use Western Democracy asM
a weapon to fight against an ideology whose supporters regard democracy and all its ramifications merely as a means of paralysing their opponents and gaining for themselves a free hand to put their own methods into action. Certain groups of Marxists are, for the time being, using all their ingenuity to create the impression that they are inseparably attached to the principles of democracy. It may be well to recall the fact that, when a crisis arose, these same gentlemen snapped their fingers at the principle of deM
cision by majority vote, as that principle is understood by Western Democracy. Such was the case in those days when the bourgeois parliamentarians believed that the security of the Reich was guaranteed by the monumental short-sightedness of the overwhelming majority, whereas the Marxists, backed by a mob of loafers, deserters, political place-hunters and Jewish would-be literary men, simply seized the reins of government. This was a terrible blow to democracy.</p><blockquote><p>420</p></blockquote><p>Only those creM
dulous parliamentary wizards who represented bourgeois democracy could have believed that the brutal determination of those whose interest it is to spread the Marxist world-pest, of which they are the carriers, could for a moment, now, or in the future, be held in check by the magical formulas of western parliamentarianism. Marxism will march shoulder to shoulder with democracy until it succeeds indirectly in securing for its own criminal purposes, even the support of the intelligentsia of the nation whom Marxism hM
as set out to exterminate. But, if the Marxists should one day come to believe that there was a danger that from this witch
s cauldron of our parliamentary democracy a majority might be concocted, which, if merely by reason of its numerical weight, would be in a position to legislate and thus to constitute a serious threat to Marxism, then the whole parliamentarian hocus-pocus would be at an end. Instead of appealing to the democratic conscience, the leaders of the Red International would immediately send forth aM
furious rallying-cry to the proletarian masses and the ensuing fight would not take place in the sedate atmosphere of parliament, but in the factories and in the streets. Then democracy would be annihilated forthwith, and what the intellectual prowess of the apostles who represented the people in parliament had failed to accomplish, would now be successfully carried out by dint of the crow-bar and the sledge-hammer of the exasperated proletarian masses just as in the autumn of 1918. At one fell swoop they would maM
ke the bourgeois world see the madness of thinking that the Jewish drive towards world-conquest can be effectually opposed by means of Western Democracy. As I have said, only a very credulous soul could think of binding himself to observe the rules of the game when he has to face a player for whom those rules are nothing but a pretext for bluff or for serving his own interests, so that he will discard them when they prove no longer useful for his purpose. All the parties that profess so-called bourgeois principles M
look upon political life as being in reality a struggle for seats in parliament. The moment their principles and convictions are of no further use in that struggle they throw them overboard, as if they were sand ballast, and the programmes are constructed in such a way that they can be dealt with in like manner.</p><blockquote><p>421</p></blockquote><p>But such a practice has a correspondingly weakening effect on the strength of the parties concerned. They lack the great magnetic force which alone attracts the broaM
d masses, for the masses always respond to the compelling force which emanates from absolute faith in the ideas put forward, combined with an indomitable zest to fight for and defend them. At a time when the one side, armed with all the weapons of its<i>Weltanschauung</i>, no matter how criminal, makes an attack against the established order, the other side will be able to resist only if its resistance takes the form of a new faith. In our case, this is a political faith which exchanges the slogans of weak and cowaM
rdly defence for the battle-cry of a courageous and ruthless attack. Our present Movement is accused, especially by the so-called national bourgeois cabinet ministers (the Bavarian representatives of the Centre, for example) of heading towards a revolution. We have only one answer to give to those political pygmies, namely,
We are trying to remedy that which you, in your criminal stupidity, have failed to accomplish. By your parliamentarian jobbing you have helped to drag the nation into ruin, but we, by our aggM
ressive policy, are setting up a new<i>Weltanschauung</i>which we shall defend with indomitable devotion. Thus we are building the steps on which our nation once again may ascend to the temple of freedom.
Thus during the first stages of founding our Movement we had to take special care that our militant group, which fought for the establishment of a new and exalted political faith, should not degenerate into a society for the promotion of parliamentarian interests. The first preventive measure was to lay down a M
programme which of itself would tend towards developing a certain moral greatness that would scare away all the petty and weakling spirits who make up the bulk of our present party politicians. Those fatal defects which finally led to Germany
s downfall afford the clearest proof of how right we were in considering it absolutely necessary to set up programmatic aims which were sharply, and distinctly defined. Because we recognised the defects above mentioned, we realised that a new conception of the State had to bM
e established, which in itself became a part of our new conception of life.</p><blockquote><p>422</p></blockquote><p>In the first volume of this book I have already dealt with the term<i>v
lkisch</i>, and I said then that this term has not a sufficiently precise meaning to furnish the kernel around which a closely consolidated militant community could be formed. All kinds of persons, with all kinds of divergent, opinions, are, at the present time, playing their own game under the motto<i>v
lkisch</i>. Before I coM
me to deal with the purposes and aims of the National Socialist German Labour Party I want to establish a clear understanding of what is meant by the concept<i>v
lkisch</i>and herewith explain its relation to our party movement. The word<i>v
lkisch</i>does not express any clearly specified idea. It may be interpreted in several ways and in practical application it is just as general as the word
for instance. It is difficult to attach any precise meaning to this latter word, either as a theoreticaM
l concept or as a guiding principle in practical life. The word
acquires a precise meaning only when it is associated with a distinct and definite form through which the concept is put into practice. To say that a person is
may be very fine phraseology, but generally speaking, it tells us little or nothing. There may be some few people who are content with such a vague description and there may even be some to whom the word conveys a more or less definite picture of the inner M
quality of a person thus described. But, since the bulk of the people are not philosophers or saints, such a vague religious idea will mean to the individual merely that he is justified in thinking and acting according to his own bent. It will not lead to that practical faith into which inner religious yearning is transformed only when it leaves the sphere of general metaphysical ideas and is moulded to a well-defined belief. Such a belief is certainly not an end in itself, but the means to an end. Yet it is means M
without which the end could never be reached at all. This end, however, is not merely something ideal, for at bottom it is eminently practical.</p><blockquote><p>423</p></blockquote><p>We must always bear in mind the fact that, generally speaking, the highest ideals are always the outcome of some profound vital need, just as the nobility of beauty lies essentially in its practical value. By helping to lift the human being above the level of mere animal existence, faith really contributes to consolidate and safeguarM
d his very existence. Take from humanity as it exists to-day the religious beliefs which it generally holds and which have been consolidated through our education, so that they serve as moral standards in practical life, and abolish religious teaching without replacing it by anything of equal value and the foundations of human existence would be seriously shaken. We may safely say that man does not live merely to serve higher ideals, but that these ideals, in their turn, furnish the necessary conditions for his exiM
stence as a human being. Thus the circle is completed. Of course, the word
implies certain ideals and beliefs that are fundamental. Among these we may reckon the belief in the immortality of the soul, its future existence in eternity, the belief in the existence of a Higher Being, and so on. But all these ideas, no matter how firmly the individual believes in them, may be critically analysed by any person and accepted or rejected accordingly, until the emotional concept or yearning has been transforM
med into an active force that is governed by a clearly defined doctrinal faith. Such a faith constitutes the militant feature which clears the way for the recognition of fundamental religious ideals. Without a clearly defined belief, religious feeling would not only be worthless for the purposes of human existence, but might even contribute towards general disorganisation, on account of its vague and multifarious tendencies. What I have said about the word
can also be applied to the term<i>v
</i>. This word also implies certain fundamental ideas. Though these ideas are very important indeed, they assume such vague and indefinite forms that they cannot be estimated as having a greater value than mere opinions, until they become constituent elements in the structure of a political party.</p><blockquote><p>424</p></blockquote><p>The ideals set forth in a<i>Weltanschauung</i>and the demands arising from them cannot be realised by mere sentiment and inner longing any more than freedom can be won by universaM
l yearning for it. Only when the idealistic longing for independence is organised in such a way that it can fight for its ideal with military force, only then can the urgent wish of a people become a vital reality. Any<i>Weltanschauung</i>, though a thousand-fold right and supremely beneficial to humanity, will be of no practical assistance in moulding the life of a people as long as its principles have not yet become the rallying-point of a militant movement which, in its turn, will remain a mere party until its aM
ctivities have led to the victory of its ideals and its party doctrines form the new fundamental principles of a new national community. If an abstract conception of a general nature is to serve as the basis of a future development, then the first prerequisite is to form a clear understanding of the nature, character and scope of this conception, since only on such a basis can a movement be founded which can draw the necessary fighting strength from the infernal homogeneity of its principles and convictions. A poliM
tical programme must be constructed on a basis of general ideas and a general<i>Weltanschauung</i>must receive the stamp of a definite political faith. Since this faith must be directed towards ends that have to be attained in the world of practical reality, not only must it serve the general ideal as such, but it must also take into consideration the existing means that have to be employed for the triumph of the ideal. Here the practical wisdom, of the statesman must come to the assistance of the ideal, correct inM
the abstract, as evolved by the author of the political programme. In this way an eternal ideal, which has everlasting significance as a guiding star to mankind, must be adapted to the exigencies of human frailty so that its practical effect may not be frustrated at the very outset through those shortcomings which are general to mankind. The exponent of truth must here go hand in hand with him who has a practical knowledge of the mind of the people, so that from the realm of eternal verities and ideals what is suiM
ted to the capacities of human nature may be selected and given practical form.</p><blockquote><p>425</p></blockquote><p>To take abstract and general conceptions, derived from a<i>Weltanschauung</i>which is based on a solid foundation of truth and from them to mould a militant community whose members have the same political faith (a community which is precisely defined, rigidly organised, of and mind and one will) is the most important task of all, far the possibility of successfully carrying out the idea is dependM
ent on the successful fulfilment of this task. Out of the army of millions who feel, more or less clearly, the truth of these ideas, and may even understand them to some extent, one man must arise. This man must have the gift of being able to formulate from the vague ideas held by the masses, principles that will be as clear-cut and firm as granite and he must be able to fight for these principles as the only true ones, until a solid rock of common faith and common will emerges above the troubled waters of vagrant M
ideas. The general justification for such action lies in the necessity for it and the action of the individual will be justified by his success. If we try to penetrate the inner meaning of the word<i>v
lkisch</i>we arrive at the following conclusion. The current political conception of the world is that the State, though it possesses a creative force which can build up civilisations, has nothing in common with the concept of race as the foundation of the State. The State is considered rather as something which hasM
resulted from economic necessity or is, at best, the natural outcome of political urge for power. Such a conception together with all its logical consequences, not only ignores the primordial racial forces that underlie the State, but it also leads to a minimization of the importance of the individual. If it be denied that races differ from one another in their cultural creative ability, then this same erroneous notion must necessarily influence our estimation of the value of the individual. The assumption that alM
l races are alike leads to the assumption that nations and individuals are equal to one another. Therefore, international Marxism is merely the adoption by the Jew, Karl Marx, of a general conception of life, which had existed long before his day, as a definite profession of political faith. If it had not already existed as a widely diffused infection, the amazing political progress of the Marxist teaching would never have been possible.</p><blockquote><p>426</p></blockquote><p>In reality what distinguished Karl MaM
rx from the millions who were affected in the same way was that, in a world already in a state of gradual decomposition, he used the unerring instinct of the prophetic genius to detect the essential poisons, so as to extract them and concentrate them, with the art of an alchemist, in a solution which would bring about the rapid destruction of the independent nations of the earth. All this was done in the service of his race. Thus the Marxian doctrine is the concentrated extract of the mentality which underlies the M
general<i>Weltanschauung</i>to-day. For this reason alone it is out of the question and even ridiculous to think that what is called our bourgeois world can put up any effective fight against Marxism, for this bourgeois world is permeated with all those same poisons, and its<i>Weltanschauung</i>in general differs from Marxism only in degree and in the character of the persons who hold it. The bourgeois world is Marxist, but believes in the possibility of a certain group of people
that is to say, the bourgeoisie
being able to dominate the world, while Marxism itself systematically aims at delivering the world into the hands of the Jews. Over against all this, the<i>v
lkisch Weltanschauung</i>recognises that the primordial racial elements are of the greatest significance for mankind. In principle, the State is looked upon only as a means to an end and this end is the conservation of the racial characteristics of mankind. The<i>v
lkisch</i>principle does not admit that one race is equal to another, but by recognising thatM
they are different, separates mankind into races of superior and inferior quality. On the basis of this recognition it feels bound, in conformity with the Eternal Will that dominates the universe, to postulate the victory of the better and stronger and the subordination of the inferior and weaker thus subscribing to Nature
s fundamental aristocratic principle and it believes that this law holds good even down to the last individual organism. It selects individual values from the mass and thus operates as an orgaM
nising principle, whereas Marxism acts as a disintegrating solvent. The<i>v
lkisch</i>belief holds that humanity must have its ideals, because ideals are a necessary condition of human existence itself.</p><blockquote><p>427</p></blockquote><p>But, on the other hand, it denies that an ethical ideal has the right to prevail if it endangers the existence of a race that is the champion of a higher ethical ideal, for in a world composed of mongrels and Negroids all ideals of human beauty and nobility and all hopes of M
an idealised future for humanity would be lost for ever. On this planet of ours human culture and civilisation are indissolubly bound up with the presence of the Aryan. If he were to be exterminated or become extinct, then the dark shroud of a new barbaric era would enfold the earth. To undermine the existence of human culture by exterminating its custodians would be an execrable crime in the eyes of those who subscribe to the<i>v
lkisch Weltanschauung</i>. Whoever dares to raise his hand against the highest imageM
of God, sins against the bountiful Creator of this marvel and contributes to the expulsion from Paradise. Hence the<i>v
lkisch Weltanschauung</i>is in profound accord with Nature
s most sacred will, because it restores the free play of the forces which, through reciprocal education, will produce a higher type, until finally the best portion of mankind will possess the earth and will be free to work in spheres which lie not only within, but without the limits of that earth. We all feel that in the distant futureM
man may be faced with problems which can be solved only by a superior race of human beings, which is master over all the other peoples and has at its disposal the means and resources of the whole world. It is evident that such a general definition of what is implied by the term<i>v
lkisch Weltanschauung</i>may easily be interpreted in a thousand different ways. As a matter of fact, there is scarcely one of our recently founded political parties which does not in some manner have recourse to this conception; but tM
he very fact of its independent existence, despite the many others, goes to prove its infinite variety. Thus the Marxist conception, directed by a central organisation endowed with supreme authority, is opposed by a medley of opinions which are not ideologically impressive in face of the solid phalanx presented by the enemy.</p><blockquote><p>428</p></blockquote><p>Victory cannot be achieved with such weak weapons. Only when the international<i>Weltanschauung</i>politically directed by organised Marxism is confrontM
lkisch Weltanschauung</i>equally well-organised and equally well-directed will the one side do battle with the other on an equal footing and victory be on the side of eternal truth. The organisation and mobilisation of a<i>Weltanschauung</i>can never be carried out except on a basis of its clear definition. The function which dogma fulfils in religious beliefs comparable to the function which party principles fulfil in a political party which is in the process of being built up. It is, therefore, essenM
tial to forge an instrument which, like the Marxist party organisation which clears the way for internationalism, can be used in fighting for this ideal. This is the aim which the National Socialist German Labour Party pursues. That a definite formulation of the idea v
lkisch in connection with a party movement is a prerequisite for the triumph of the<i>v
lkisch Weltanschauung</i>is strikingly proved by a fact which is admitted, however indirectly, even by those who oppose such an amalgamation of the v
ea with party principles. The very people who never tire of insisting again and again that the<i>v
lkisch Weltanschauung</i>can never be the exclusive property of any individual, because it lies dormant or
in myriads of hearts, only confirm by their own statement the simple fact that the general presence of such ideas in the hearts of millions of men has not proved sufficient to prevent the victory of the opposing ideas, which are, admittedly, championed on the recognised party political lines. If thatM
were not so, the German people ought already to have gained a sweeping victory instead of finding themselves on the brink of the abyss. The international ideology achieved success because it was championed by a militantly organised party. The reason for the failure hitherto sustained by the opposite ideology is that it lacked a united front to fight for its cause. It is not by allowing the right of free interpretation of its general principles, but only in the limited and, consequently, concentrated form of a poliM
tical organisation that a<i>Weltanschauung</i>can sustain a struggle and triumph.</p><blockquote><p>429</p></blockquote><p>Therefore, I considered it my special duty to extract from the extensive but unformulated material of a general<i>Weltanschauung</i>the essential ideas and give them a more or less dogmatic form. Because of their precise and clear meaning, these ideas are suited to the purpose of uniting in a common front all those who are ready to accept them as principles. In other words, the National SocialiM
st German Labour Party extracts the essential principles from the general conception of the<i>v
lkisch Weltanschauung</i>. On these principles it establishes a political doctrine which takes into account the practical realities of the day, the character of the times, the available human material and all its deficiencies. Through this political doctrine it is possible to bring great masses of the people into a systematic organisation which is the main preliminary that is necessary for the final triumph of this ideaM
l.<blockquote><p>430</p></blockquote><blockquote><p>431</p></blockquote><blockquote><p>432</p></blockquote><h1 id="chapter-ii-the-state">CHAPTER II: THE STATE</h1><p>As early as 1920
1921, certain circles belonging to the effete bourgeois class accused our Movement again and again of taking up a negative attitude towards the modern State. For that reason the motley gang of camp-followers attached to the various political parties, representing a heterogeneous conglomeration of political views, assumed the right ofM
utilising all available means to suppress the protagonists of this young Movement which, was preaching a new political gospel. Our opponents deliberately ignored the fact that the bourgeois class itself stood for no uniform opinion as to what the State really meant and that the bourgeoisie did not and could not give any uniform definition of this institution. Those whose duty it is to explain what is meant when we speak of the State hold chairs in state universities, often in the department of constitutional law, M
and consider it their highest duty to find explanations and justifications for the more or less fortunate existence of that particular form of State which provides them with their daily bread. The more absurd such a form of State is, the more obscure, artificial and incomprehensible are the definitions which are advanced to explain the purpose of its existence. What, for instance, could a professor at a royal and imperial university write about the meaning and purpose of a State in a country whose constitution reprM
esented the greatest monstrosity of the twentieth century? That would be a difficult undertaking indeed, in view of the fact that the contemporary professor of constitutional law is obliged not so much to serve the cause of truth as to serve a definite purpose, and this purpose is to defend at all costs the existence of that monstrous human mechanism which we now call the State. Nobody need be surprised if concrete facts are evaded as far as, possible when the problem of the State is under discussion and if professM
ors adopt the tactics of concealing themselves in a morass of abstract values, duties and purposes which are described as
</p><blockquote><p>433</p></blockquote><p>Generally speaking, these various theorists may be classed in three groups:</p><p>1. Those who held that the State is a more or less voluntary association of men under governmental authority. This is numerically the largest group. In its ranks are to be found those who worship our present principle of legalized authority. InM
their eyes the will of the people plays no part whatever in the whole affair. For them, the fact that the State exists is sufficient reason to consider it sacred and inviolable. In order to champion this aberration of the human brain one would have to have a sort of canine adoration for what is called the authority of the State. In the minds of these people the means is quickly and easily substituted for the end. The State no longer exists for the purpose of serving men, but men exist for the purpose of revering tM
he authority of the State, which is vested in its functionaries, even down to the most inferior official. In order to prevent this placid and ecstatic adoration from changing into something that might become in any way disturbing, the authority of the State is limited simply to the task of preserving law and order. Thus it is no longer either a means or an end. The State must see that how and order are preserved and, in their turn, law and order must make the existence of the State possible. All life must move betwM
een these two poles. In Bavaria, this view is upheld by the artful politicians of the Bavarian Centre, which is called the
In Austria, the black-and-yellow Legitimists adopt a similar attitude. In the Reich, unfortunately, the so-called conservative elements often hold the same view.</p><p>2. The second group is numerically somewhat smaller. It includes those who would make the existence of the State dependent on certain conditions. They insist that not only should there be a uniforM
m system of government, but also, if possible, uniformity of language, if only for technical reasons of administration.</p><blockquote><p>434</p></blockquote><p>The authority of the State is no longer, the sole and exclusive end for which the State exists, but it must also promote the good of its subjects. Ideas of
mostly, based on a misunderstanding of the meaning of that word, enter into the concept of the State as it exists in the minds of this group. The form of government is no longer consideredM
inviolable simply because it exists. It must submit to the test of practical efficiency. Its venerable age no longer protects it from criticism in the light of modern exigencies. Moreover, in their view, the first duty laid upon the State is to guarantee the economic well-being of the individual citizen. Hence it is judged from the practical standpoint and according to general principles based on the idea of economic returns. The chief representatives of this theory of the State are to be found among the average GM
erman bourgeoisie, especially our liberal democrats.</p><p>3. The third group is numerically the smallest. In the State they see a means for the realisation of aims (generally vague in conception) dictated by a policy of power, on the part of a united people speaking the same language. They want a common language not only because they hope that thereby the State will be furnished with a solid basis for the extension of its power beyond its own frontiers, but also because they think
though falling into a fundamentM
al error by so doing
that such a common language would facilitate the carrying out of a definite process of nationalisation. During the last century it was lamentable for those who had to witness it, to notice how in these circles I have just mentioned the word
was frivolously played with, though often with the very best of intentions. I well remember how, in the days of my youth, this very term used to give rise to notions which were false to an incredible degree. Even in Pan-German circles oM
ne heard the opinion expressed that the Austrian Germans might very well succeed in Germanising the Austrian Slavs, if only the government were ready to co-operate.</p><blockquote><p>435</p></blockquote><p>Those people did not understand that a policy of Germanisation can be carried out only as regards territory and not as regards human beings. What was generally understood by this term was the enforced adoption of the German language, but it is almost inconceivable that people should imagine that a Negro or a ChinM
aman, for example, can become German simply by learning the German language, by being willing to speak it for the rest of their lives and even to vote in favour of some German political party. Our bourgeois nationalists could never clearly see that such a process of Germanisation is in reality de-Germanisation, for even if all the outstanding and, visible differences between the various peoples could be bridged over and finally eliminated by the use of a common language, this would give rise to a process of bastardM
isation which in this case would not signify Germanisation, but the annihilation of the German element. In the course of history it has happened only too often that a conquering race succeeded by force in compelling the people whom they had subjected to speak their tongue, with the result that after a thousand years their language was spoken by another people and thus the conqueror finally turned out to be the conquered. What makes a people or, to be more correct, a race, is not language but blood. It would therefoM
re be justifiable to speak of Germanisation only if that process could change the blood of the people who were subjected to it, which is obviously impossible. A change would be possible only by a mixture of blood, but in this case the quality of the superior race would be debased. The final result of such a mixture would be that precisely those qualities were destroyed which had enabled the conquering race to achieve victory over an inferior people. It is especially cultural creative ability which disappears when aM
superior race intermixes with an inferior one, even though all the resultant mongrel race speaks the language of the race that had once been superior. For a certain time there will be a conflict between the different mentalities and it may be that a nation which is in a state of progressive degeneration will at the last moment rally its cultural creative powers and once again produce striking cultural masterpieces. These are, however, produced only by individuals belonging to the superior race or by hybrids of theM
first crossing, in whom the superior blood has remained dominant and seeks to assert itself, but never by the last descendants of such hybrids.</p><blockquote><p>436</p></blockquote><p>These are always in a state of cultural retrogression. We must consider it fortunate that a Germanisation of Austria according to the plan of Joseph II did not succeed. Probably the result would have been that the Austrian State would have survived, but at the same time the use of a common language would have debased the racial qualM
ity of the German element. In the course of centuries a certain herd instinct might have been developed, but the herd itself would have deteriorated in quality. It is possible that a constitutional State would have been established, but a culturally creative people would have been lost to the world. For the German nation it was better that this process of intermixture did not take place, although it was not renounced for any high-minded reasons, but simply through the short-sighted pettiness of the Habsburgs. If itM
had taken place, the German people could now scarcely be looked upon as a cultural factor. Not only in Austria, however, but also in Germany, these so-called national circles were, and still are, under the influence of similar erroneous ideas. The much favoured policy with regard to Poland which provided for the Germanisation of the eastern provinces was, unfortunately, practically always based on the same false reasoning. Here again it was believed that the Polish people could be Germanised by being compelled to M
use the German language. The result would have been fatal, for people of an alien race by expressing their alien ideas in the German language would have debased the dignity and nobility of our nation by their own inferiority. It is revolting to think how much damage is indirectly done to German prestige to-day owing to the fact that the German patois of Jews entering the United States enables them to be classed as Germans, because of the ignorance of Americans with regard to things German. Here nobody would dream oM
f accepting the fact that these lousy emigrants from the East generally speak</p><blockquote><p>437</p></blockquote><p>German as proof of their German origin and nationality. What has been beneficially Germanised in the course of history was the land which our ancestors conquered with the sword and colonised with German tillers of the soil. Inasmuch as they introduced foreign blood into our national body in carrying out this colonisation, they helped to bring about the lamentable disintegration of our racial characM
ter, a process which has resulted in our German hyper-individualism, though this latter characteristic is, unfortunately, frequently praised even now. In the third group also, there are people who, to a certain degree, consider the State as an end in itself. Hence they consider its preservation as one of the highest aims of human existence. Summing up, we arrive at the following conclusion: A common feature of all these views is, that they are not grounded on a recognition of the profound truth that the capacity foM
r creating cultural values is essentially based on the racial element. In accordance with this fact, the paramount purpose of the State to preserve and improve the race, an indispensable condition of all progress in human civilisation. Thus the Jew, Karl Marx, was able to utilise and exploit these false concepts and ideas on the nature and purpose of the State. By eliminating from the concept of the State all thought of the obligation which the State has towards the race, without finding any other formula that mighM
t be universally accepted, the bourgeois teaching prepared the way for that doctrine which rejects the State as such. That is why the bourgeois struggle against Marxian internationalism is doomed to fail in this particular. The bourgeois classes have already sacrificed the basic principles which alone could furnish a solid footing for their ideas. Their crafty opponent has perceived the defects in their structure and advances to the assault with those weapons which they themselves have unwittingly placed in his hanM
ds. Therefore any new movement which is based on the<i>v
lkisch Weltanschauung</i>will first of all have to put forward a clear and logical definition of the nature and purpose of the State.</p><blockquote><p>438</p></blockquote><p>The fundamental principle is that the State is not an end in itself, but the means to an end. It is the preliminary condition for the development of a higher form of human civilisation, but not the reason for such a development, for which a culturally creative race is alone responsible.M
There may be hundreds of excellent States on this earth and yet if the Aryan, who is the creator and custodian of civilisation, should disappear, all culture corresponding to the spiritual needs of the superior nations to-day would also disappear. We may go still further and say that the fact that States have been created by human beings does not exclude the possibility that the human race may become extinct, if the superior intellectual faculties and powers of adaptation were to be lost because the race possessinM
g these faculties and powers had disappeared. If, for instance, the surface of the globe were to be shaken to-day by some seismic convulsion and if new Himalayas were to emerge from the waves of the sea, this one catastrophe alone might annihilate human civilisation. No State could continue to exist. All order would be shattered, and all vestiges of cultural products which had been evolved in the course of thousands of years would disappear. Nothing would be left but one tremendous field of death and destruction suM
bmerged in floods of water and mud. If, however, only a few people were to survive this terrible havoc, and if these people belonged to a definite race that had the innate power to build up a civilisation, when the commotion had passed, the earth would again bear witness to the creative power of the human spirit, even though a span of a thousand years might intervene. Only with the extermination of the last race that possesses the gift of cultural creativeness, and indeed only if all the individuals of that race alM
so disappeared, would the earth definitely be turned into a desert. On the other hand, modem history furnishes examples to show that States which are of racial origin cannot, if the representatives of that race lack creative genius, preserve them from disaster and destruction. Just as many varieties of prehistoric animals had to give way to others and leave no trace behind them, so man will also have to give way, if he loses that definite intellectual faculty which enables him to find the weapons that are necessaryM
for him to preserve his own existence.</p><blockquote><p>439</p></blockquote><p>It is not the State as such that brings about a certain definite advance in cultural progress. The State can only protect the race that is the cause of such progress. The State as such may well exist without undergoing any change for hundreds of years, though the cultural faculties and the general life of the people, which is shaped by these faculties, may have suffered profound changes, by reason of the fact that the State did not preM
vent a mixing of races from taking place. The present State, for instance, may continue to exist in a mere mechanical form, but the poison of miscegenation permeating the national body is bringing about a cultural decadence which is already manifesting itself in various symptoms of a detrimental character. Thus the indispensable prerequisite for the existence of a superior type of human beings is not the State, but the race, which is alone capable of producing that higher type. This capacity is always there, thoughM
it will lie dormant unless external circumstances awaken it to action. Nations, or rather races, which are endowed with the faculty of cultural creativeness possess this faculty in a latent form during periods when external circumstances are unfavourable for the time being. They therefore do not allow the faculty to express itself effectively. It is, therefore, outrageously unjust to speak of the pre-Christian Germans as uncivilised barbarians, for such they never were. But the severity of the climate that prevailM
ed in the northern regions which they inhabited, imposed conditions of life which hampered a free development of their creative faculties. If they had come to the fairer climate of the South, with no previous culture whatsoever, and if they had acquired the necessary human material
that is to say, men of an inferior race
to serve them as tools in performing necessary labours, the cultural faculty dormant in them would have blossomed forth in splendour as happened in the case of the Greeks, for example.</p><bloM
ckquote><p>440</p></blockquote><p>But this primordial creative faculty in cultural things was not solely due to their northern climate. Neither the Laplanders nor the Eskimos would have become creators of a culture if they had been transplanted to the South. This wonderful creative faculty is a special gift bestowed on the Aryan, whether it lies dormant in him or becomes active, according as adverse conditions and surroundings prevent the active expression of that faculty or favourable circumstances permit it. FromM
these facts the following conclusions may be drawn: The State is only a means to an end. Its end and its purpose are to preserve and promote a community of human beings who are physically as well as spiritually kindred. Above all, it must preserve the existence of the race, thereby providing the indispensable condition for the free development of all the forces dormant in this race. A great part of these faculties will always have to be employed in the first place to preserve the physical existence of the race, anM
d only the remaining portion will be free to work in the field of intellectual progress. But, as a matter of fact, the one is always, the fundamental prerequisite for the other. Those States which do not serve this purpose have no justification for their existence. They are monstrosities. The fact that they do exist is no more of a justification than the successful raids carried out by a band of pirates can be considered a justification of piracy. We National Socialists, who are fighting for a new<i>Weltanschauung<M
/i>, must never take our stand on the famous
, if these be mistaken facts. If we did so, we should cease to be the protagonists of a new and great idea and would become slaves in the service of the fallacy which is dominant to-day. We must make a clear-cut distinction between the vessel and its contents. The State is only the vessel and the race is what it contains. The vessel can have significance only if it preserves and safeguards the contents. Otherwise it is worthless.</p><blockquote><p>441M
</p></blockquote><p>Hence, the supreme purpose of the v
lkisch State is to guard and preserve those racial elements which, through their work in the cultural field, create that beauty and dignity which are characteristic of a higher mankind. As Aryans, we can consider the State only as the living organism of a people, an organism which does not merely preserve the existence of a people, but functions in such a way as to lead that people to a position of supreme liberty by the progressive development of its intelleM
ctual and cultural faculties. What they want to impose upon us as a State to-day is, in most cases, nothing but a monstrosity, the product of a profound human abet ration which brings untold suffering in its train. We National Socialists know that in holding these views we are taking up a revolutionary stand in the world of to-day and that we are branded as revolutionaries. Despite this, our views and our conduct will not be determined by the approbation or disapprobation of our contemporaries, but only by our dutyM
in following a truth which we have acknowledged. In doing this we, have reason to believe that posterity will have a clearer insight and will not only understand the work we are doing to-day, but will also ratify it as the right work and will extol it accordingly. On these principles, we National Socialists base our standards of value in appraising a State. This value will be relative when viewed from the particular standpoint of the individual nation, but it will be absolute, when considered from the standpoint oM
f humanity as a whole. In other words; this means that the excellence of a State can never be judged by the level of its culture or the degree of importance which the outside world attaches to its power, but that its excellence must be judged by the degree to which its constitution serves the race in question. A State may be considered as a model example if it adequately serves not only the vital needs of the race it represents, but if by its very existence it actually ensures the preservation of this same race, noM
matter what general cultural significance this constitution may have within the framework of the world.</p><blockquote><p>442</p></blockquote><p>For it is not the task of the State to create human capabilities, but only to assure free scope for the exercise of capabilities that already exist. On the other hand, a State may be called bad if, in spite of the existence of a high cultural level, it dooms to destruction the representatives of that culture by breaking up their racial compositeness. For the practical effM
ect of such a policy would be to destroy those conditions that are indispensable for the ulterior existence of that culture, which the State did not create, but which is the fruit of the creative power inherent in the race whose existence is assured by being united in the living organism of the State. Once again, let me emphasise the fact that the State itself is not the substance but the form. Therefore, the cultural level of a people is not the standard by which we can judge the value of the State in which that pM
eople lives. It is evident that a people endowed with high creative powers in the cultural sphere is of more worth than a tribe of Negroes, and yet the constitutional organism of the former, if judged from the standpoint of efficiency, may be worse than that of the Negroes. Not even the best of States and state institutions can cultivate in a people faculties which they lack and which they never possessed, but a bad State may gradually destroy the faculties which once existed. This it can do by allowing or favourinM
g the suppression of those who are the champions of a racial culture. The worth of a State can, therefore, be determined only by asking how far it actually succeeds in promoting the well-being of a definite race and not by the role which it plays in the world at large. Its relative worth can be estimated readily and accurately, but it is difficult to judge its absolute worth, because the latter is conditioned not only by the State, but also by the quality and cultural level of the people that belong to the individuM
al State in question. Therefore, when we speak of the high mission of the State we must not forget that the high mission belongs to the people and that the business of the State is to use its organising powers for the purpose of furnishing the necessary conditions which allow this people freely to develop its creative faculties.</p><blockquote><p>443</p></blockquote><p>Again, if we ask what kind of constitution we Germans need, we must first have a clear notion as to the people which it is destined to embrace and wM
hat purpose it must serve. Unfortunately, German national life is not based on a uniform racial nucleus,. The process of welding the original elements together has not gone so far as to warrant us in saying that a new race has emerged. On the contrary, the poison which has invaded the national body, especially since the Thirty Years
War, has destroyed the uniform constitution not only of our blood, but also of our national soul. The open frontiers of our native country, the association with non-German foreign elM
ements in the territories that lie all along those frontiers, and especially the strong influx of foreign blood into the interior of the Reich itself, has prevented any complete assimilation of those various elements, because the influx has continued steadily. Out of this melting-pot no new race has arisen. The heterogeneous elements continue to exist side by side, and the result is that, especially in times of crisis, when the herd usually flocks together, the Germans disperse in all directions. The fundamental raM
cial elements are not only different in different districts, but there are also various elements within these various districts. Beside the Nordic type we find the East-European type, beside the Eastern there is the Dinaric, the Western type intermingling with both, and hybrids among them all. That is a grave drawback to us. Through it the Germans lack that strong herd instinct which arises from unity of blood and saves nations from ruin in dangerous and critical times, because on such occasions small differences dM
isappear, and a united herd faces the enemy. What we understand by the word hyper-individualism is explained by the fact that our primordial racial elements have existed side by side without ever consolidating. In times of peace such a situation may offer some advantages but taken all in all, it has prevented us from becoming the masters of the world.</p><blockquote><p>444</p></blockquote><p>If, in its historical development, the German people had possessed that united herd instinct by which other peoples have so mM
uch benefited, then the German Reich would probably be mistress of the globe to-day. World history would have taken another course and no man can tell if what many benighted pacifists hope to attain by petitioning, whining and crying, might not have been achieved in this way, namely, a peace which would not be based upon the waving of olive branches and tearful misery-mongering of pacifist old women, but a peace guaranteed by the triumphant sword of a people endowed with the power to master the world and administerM
it in the service of a higher civilisation. The fact that our people were not a national entity based on unity of blood has been the source of untold misery for us. To many petty German potentates it gave residential capital cities; but the German people as a whole was deprived of its right to rulership. Even to-day our nation still suffers from this lack of inner unity, but what has been the cause of our past and present misfortunes may turn out a blessing for us in the future. Though on the one hand it may be a M
drawback that our racial elements were not welded together, so that no homogeneous national body could develop, on the other hand, it was fortunate that, since at least a part of our best blood was thus kept pure, its racial quality was not debased. A complete assimilation of all our racial elements would certainly have brought about a homogeneous national organism, but, as has been proved in the case of every racial mixture, it would have been less capable of creating a civilisation than would its best original elM
ements. One benefit resulting from the fact that there was no all-round assimilation is the fact that even now we have large groups of German Nordic people within our national organism, and that their blood has not been mixed with the blood of other races. We must look upon this as our most valuable asset for the sake of the future. During that dark period of absolute ignorance in regard to all racial laws, when each individual was considered to be on a par with every other, there could be no clear appreciation of M
the difference between the various fundamental racial characteristics.</p><blockquote><p>445</p></blockquote><p>We know to-day that a complete assimilation of all the various elements which constitute the nation might have resulted in giving us a larger share of external power. On the other hand, the highest of human aims would not have been attained, because the only kind of people, which Fate has obviously chosen to bring about this perfection, would have been lost in the general mixture of races which would haveM
resulted from such a racial amalgamation. Nevertheless, what has been prevented by a friendly Destiny, without any assistance on our part, must now be reconsidered and utilised in the light of our new knowledge. He who talks of the German people as having a mission to fulfil on this earth must know that this mission cannot be fulfilled except by the building up of a State whose highest purpose is to preserve and promote those nobler elements of our race, and of the whole of mankind, which have remained unimpaired.M
Thus, for the first time a high inner purpose is accredited to the State. In contrast to the ridiculous thesis that the State should do no more than act as the guardian of public law and order, so that everybody can peacefully dupe everybody else, it is given a very high mission indeed in preserving and encouraging the highest types of humanity which a beneficent Creator has bestowed on this earth. Out of a dead mechanism which claims to be an end in itself a living organism shall arise which has to serve one purpM
ose exclusively, and that a purpose which belongs to a higher order of ideas. As a State, the German Reich shall include all Germans, Its task is not only to gather in and foster the most valuable sections of our people, but to lead them slowly and surely to a dominant position in the world. Thus a period of stagnation is superseded by a period of effort. And here, and in every other sphere, the proverb holds good, that to rest is to rust, and furthermore the proverb, that victory will always be won by him who attaM
cks. The higher the final goal which we strive to reach, and the less it be understood at the time by the broad masses, the more magnificent will be our success.</p><blockquote><p>446</p></blockquote><p>That is the lesson which history teaches, and the achievement will be all the more significant, if the end is conceived in the right way and the fight carried through with unswerving persistence. Many of the officials who direct the affairs of State nowadays may find it easier to work for the maintenance of the presM
ent order than to fight for a new one. They will find it more comfortable to look upon the State as a mechanism, whose purpose is its own preservation, and to say that
their lives belong to the State,
as if anything that grew from the inner life of the nation can logically serve anything but the national life, and as if man could have any finer task than to serve his fellow beings. Naturally, it is easier, as I have said, to consider the authority of the State as nothing but the formal mechanism of an organisM
ation, rather than as the sovereign incarnation of a people
s instinct for self-preservation on this earth. For these weak minds the State (and the authority of the State) is nothing but an aim in itself, while for us it is an effective weapon in the great and eternal struggle for existence, a weapon to which everyone must yield, not because it is a mere formal mechanism, but because it is the main expression of our common will to exist. Therefore, in the fight for our new idea, which conforms completely to the pM
rimal meaning of life, we shall find only a small number of comrades in a social order which has become decrepit not only physically, but mentally. From these circles only a few exceptional people will join our ranks, only those few old people whose hearts have remained young and whose courage is still vigorous, but not those who consider it their duty to maintain the status quo. Against us we have the innumerable army of all those who are lazy-minded and indifferent rather than evil, and those whose self-interest M
leads them to uphold the present state of affairs. In the apparent hopelessness of our great struggle lie the magnitude of our task and the possibilities of success. A battle-cry, which from the very start will scare off all the petty spirits, or at least discourage them, will become a rallying signal for all those that are of the real fighting mettle.</p><blockquote><p>447</p></blockquote><p>Moreover, it must be clearly recognised that if a highly energetic and active body of men emerges from a nation and unites iM
n the fight for one goal, thereby ultimately rising above the inert masses of the people, this small percentage will become masters of the whole. World history is made by minorities, if these numerical minorities possess in themselves the will, energy and initiative of the majority. What seems an obstacle to many persons is really a preliminary condition of our victory. Just because our task is so great and because so many difficulties have to be overcome, the probability is that only the best kind of protagonist wM
ill join our ranks. This selection is the guarantee of our success. Nature generally takes certain measures to correct the effect which racial inter-breeding produces. She is not much in favour of the mongrel. The earlier products of inter-breeding have to suffer bitterly, especially the third, fourth and fifth generations. Not only are they deprived of the higher qualities that belonged to the parents who participated in the first crossing, but they also lack definite will-power and vigorous vital energies, owing M
to the lack of harmony in the quality of their blood. At all critical moments in which a person of pure racial blood makes correct decisions, that is to say, decisions that are coherent and uniform, the person of mixed blood will become confused and take half-measures. Hence we see that a person of mixed blood is not only relatively inferior to a person of pure blood, but is also doomed to become extinct more rapidly. In innumerable cases where the pure race holds its ground, the mongrel breaks down. Therein we seeM
the corrective measures adopted by Nature; she restricts the possibilities of procreation, thus impeding the fertility of cross-breeds and dooming them to extinction. For instance, if an individual member of a race should mingle his blood with the member of a superior race, the first result would be a lowering of the racial level, and furthermore, the issue of this mixed marriage would be weaker than those of the people around them who had maintained their blood unadulterated.</p><blockquote><p>448</p></blockquoteM
><p>Where no new blood from the superior race enters the racial stream of the mongrels, and where these mongrels continue to cross-breed among themselves, the latter will either die out because they have insufficient powers of resistance, which is Nature
s wise provision, or in the course of many thousands of years they will form a new mongrel race in which the original elements will become so wholly mixed through this millennial crossing that traces of the original elements will be no longer recognizable. In thiM
s way, a new people would be evolved possessing a certain resistance capacity of the herd type; but its, intellectual value and its cultural significance would be essentially inferior to those of the superior race participating in the original inter-breeding. But even in this last case, the mongrel product would succumb in the mutual struggle for existence with a higher racial group that had maintained its blood unmixed. The herd solidarity which this mongrel race had developed in the course of thousands of years wM
ould not be equal to the struggle, and this is because it would lack elasticity and constructive capacity to prevail over a race of homogeneous blood that was mentally and culturally superior. Hence, we may lay down the following principle as well-founded. Every racial mixture leads of necessity sooner or later to the downfall of the mongrel product, as long as a section of the superior race participating in the cross-breeding remains intact and preserves some sort of racial homogeneity. The threat to the mongrels M
ceases only with the bastardization of the last members of the superior race who are of unmixed blood. This principle is the source of a slow but constant regeneration whereby all the poison which has invaded the racial body is gradually eliminated as long as there remains a fundamental stock of pure racial elements and there is no further inter-breeding. Such a process may set in automatically among those people where a strong racial instinct has remained. Among such people we may count those elements which, for sM
ome particular cause such as coercion, have been thrown out of the normal way of reproduction along strict racial lines. As soon as this compulsion ceases, that part of the race which has remained intact will tend to marry with its own kind and thus impede further intermingling.</p><blockquote><p>449</p></blockquote><p>Then the mongrels recede quite naturally into the background unless their numbers have increased so much as to be able to withstand all serious resistance from those elements which have preserved theM
purity of their race. When men have lost their natural instincts and ignore the obligations imposed on them by Nature, then there is no hope that Nature will repair the damage that has been caused, until recognition of their own obligations has replaced their lost instincts. Then the task of making good what has been lost will have to be accomplished by Nature. But there is a serious danger that those who have once become blind in this respect will continue more aid more to break down racial barriers and finally lM
ose the last remnants of what is best in them. What then remains is nothing but a uniform pulpy mass, which seems to be the dream of our fine Utopians, but that pulpy mass would soon banish all ideals from the world. Certainly a great herd could thus be formed. One can breed a herd of animals, but from a mixture of this kind, men such as have created and founded civilisations would not be produced. The mission of humanity might then be considered at an end. Those who do not wish that the earth should fall into suchM
a condition must realise that it is the task of the Germanic States in particular to see to it that the process of bastardization is brought to a stop. Our contemporary generation of weaklings will naturally decry such a policy and whine and complain about it as an encroachment on the most sacred of human rights. But there is only one right that is sacrosanct and that right is at the same time a most sacred duty, namely, to protect racial purity so that the best types of human beings may be preserved and thus rendM
er possible a more noble development of humanity itself. A v
lkisch State ought, in the first place, to raise matrimony above the level of continual racial adulteration. The State should consecrate it as an institution for the procreation of creatures made in the likeness of God Himself and not of monsters that are a mixture of man and ape.</p><blockquote><p>450</p></blockquote><p>The protest which is put forward in the name of humanity does not befit the mouth of a generation that makes it possible for the most dM
epraved degenerates to propagate their kind, thereby imposing unspeakable suffering on their own products and on their contemporaries, while, on the other hand, contraceptives, are permitted and sold in every drug store and even by street hawkers, so that babies should not be born to the healthiest of our people. In this present State of ours, whose function it is to be the guardian of law and order, our national bourgeoisie looks upon it as a crime to make procreation impossible for syphilitics and those who suffeM
r from tuberculosis or hereditary diseases, and also for cripples and imbeciles. But the practical prevention of procreation among millions of our very best people is not considered an evil, nor does it offend against the moral code of this hypocritical class, but rather suits their short-sightedness and mental lethargy, for otherwise they would have to rack their brains to find an answer to the question of how to create conditions for the feeding and maintaining of those yet unborn beings who will be the healthy rM
epresentatives of our nation and will, in their turn, have to perform the same task for the generation that is to follow them. How devoid of ideals and how ignoble is the whole contemporary system! No effort is being made to perfect the breed for the future, but things are simply allowed to slide. The fact that the churches join in condoning this sin against the image of God, even though they continue to emphasise the dignity of that image, is quite in keeping with their present activities. They talk about the SpirM
it, but they allow man, as the embodiment of the Spirit, to degenerate to the proletarian level. Then they gape with amazement when they realise how small is the influence of the Christian Faith in their own country and how depraved and ungodly is this riff-raff which is physically degenerate and therefore morally degenerate also. To balance this state of affairs they try to convert the Hottentots, the Zulus and the Kaffirs and to bestow on them the blessings of the Church. While our European people, God be praisedM
and thanked, are left to become the victims of moral depravity, the pious missionary goes out to Central Africa and establishes mission-stations for Negroes. Finally, sound and healthy though primitive and backward people will be transformed, in the name of our
higher civilisation,
into a motley of lazy and brutalized mongrels.</p><blockquote><p>451</p></blockquote><p>It would better accord with noble human aspirations if our two Christian denominations would cease to bother the Negroes with their preaching,M
which the Negroes do not want and do not understand. It would be better if they left this work alone and if, in its stead, they tried to teach people in Europe, kindly and seriously, that it is much more pleasing to God if a couple that is not of healthy stock were to show lovingkindness to some poor orphan and become a father and mother to him, rather than give life to a sickly child that will be a cause of suffering and unhappiness to all. In this field the v
lkisch State will have to repair the damage that hasM
been caused by the fact that the problem is at present neglected by all the various parties concerned. It will be the task of the v
lkisch State to make the race the nucleus of the life of the community. It must make sure that the purity of the racial strain will be preserved. It must proclaim the truth that the child is the most valuable possession a nation can have. It must see to it that only those who are healthy beget children; that there is only one infamy, namely, for parents that are ill or show hereditarM
y defects to bring children into the world and that in such cases it is a matter of honour to refrain from doing so. But, on the other hand, it must be considered as reprehensible to refrain from giving healthy children to the nation. In this matter, the State must assert itself as the trustee of a millennial future, in the face of which the egotistic desires of the individual count for nothing and will have to give way before the ruling of the State. In order to fulfil this duty in a practical manner the State wilM
l have to avail itself of modem medical discoveries. It must proclaim as unfit for procreation all those who are afflicted with some identifiable hereditary disease or are the carriers of it, and practical measures must be adopted to have such people rendered sterile.</p><blockquote><p>452</p></blockquote><p>On the other hand, provision must be made for the normally fertile woman so that she will not be restricted in child-bearing through the financial and economic conditions obtaining under a regime which makes thM
e having of children a curse to parents. The State will have to abolish the cowardly and even criminal indifference with which the problem of social amenities for large families is treated, and it will have to be the supreme protector of this greatest blessing of which a people can boast. Its attention and care must be directed towards the child rather than the adult. Those who are physically or mentally unhealthy and unfit must not perpetuate their own suffering in the bodies of their children. From the educationaM
l point of view there is here a huge task for the v
lkisch State to accomplish, but in a future era this work will appear greater and more significant than the victorious wars of our present bourgeois epoch. Through education the State must teach individuals that illness is not a disgrace, but an unfortunate accident which is to be pitied, yet that it is a crime and a disgrace to make this affliction worse by passing on disease and defects to innocent creatures, out of mere egotism. The State must also teach the pM
eople that it is an expression of a really noble nature and that it is a humanitarian act worthy of admiration if a person who innocently suffers from hereditary disease refrains from having a child of his own, but gives his love and affection to some unknown child who, through its health, promises to become a healthy member of a healthy community. In accomplishing such an educational task the State integrates its practical function by this activity in the moral sphere. It must act on this principle without paying M
any attention to the question of whether its conduct will be understood or misconstrued, blamed or praised. If, throughout a period of not more than six hundred years, all physically degenerate or mentally defective persons were sterilized, humanity would not only be delivered from an immense misfortune, but also restored to a state of general health such as we at present can hardly imagine.</p><blockquote><p>453</p></blockquote><p>If the fecundity of the healthy portion of the nation were encouraged in a conscientM
ious and methodical way, we should have at least the beginnings of a race from which all those germs would be eliminated which are to-day the cause of our moral and physical decadence, If a people and a State take this course to develop that nucleus of the nation which is most valuable from the racial standpoint and thus increase its fecundity, the people as a whole will subsequently enjoy the blessings which go with pure breeding. To achieve this, the State should first of all not leave the colonisation of newly aM
cquired territory to a haphazard policy, but should have it carried out in accordance with definite principles. Specially competent committees ought to issue certificates to individuals entitling them to engage in colonisation work, and these certificates should guarantee the racial purity of the individuals in question. In this way frontier colonies could gradually be founded whose inhabitants would be of the purest racial stock, and hence would possess the best qualities of the race. Such colonies would be a valuM
able asset to the whole nation. Their development would be a source of joy, confidence and pride to each citizen of the nation, because they would contain the nucleus which would ultimately bring about a great development of the nation and indeed of mankind itself. The<i>Weltanschauung</i>which bases the State on the racial idea must finally succeed in bringing about a nobler era, in which men will no longer pay exclusive attention to breeding and rearing pedigree dogs, horses and cats, but will endeavour to improvM
e the breed of the human race itself, That will be an era of self-restraint and renunciation for one class of people, while the others will give their gifts and make their sacrifices joyfully. That such a mentality may be possible cannot be denied in a world where hundreds and thousands accept the principle of celibacy of their own free will, without being obliged or pledged to do so by anything except an ecclesiastical precept. Why should it not be possible to induce people to make this sacrifice if, instead of suM
ch a precept, they were simply told that they ought to put an end to the original sin of racial corruption which is steadily being committed from one generation to another.</p><blockquote><p>454</p></blockquote><p>Further, they ought to be made to realise that it is their bounden duty to give to the Almighty Creator beings such as He Himself made in His own image. Naturally, our wretched army of contemporary Philistines will not understand these things. They will ridicule them or shrug their round shoulders and groM
an out their everlasting excuses,
Of course, it is a fine thing, but the pity is that it cannot be carried out.
With you indeed it cannot be done, for your world is incapable of such an idea. You know only one anxiety and that is for your own personal existence. You have but one God, and that is your money.
We do not turn to you, however, for help, but to the great army of those who are too poor to consider their personal existence as the highest good on earth. They do not place their trusM
t in money, but in other gods, into whose hands they confide their lives.
Above all we turn to the vast army of our German youth. They are coming to maturity in a great epoch, and they will fight against the evils which were the outcome of the laziness and indifference of their fathers.
Either the German youth will one day create a new State founded on the racial idea or they will be the last witnesses of the complete breakdown and death of the bourgeois world. If a generation suffers from defects which it reM
cognises and even admits and is nevertheless quite pleased with itself, as the bourgeois world is to-day, resorting to the cheap excuse that nothing can be done to remedy the situation, then such a generation is doomed to disaster. A marked characteristic of our bourgeois world is that it can no longer deny the evil conditions that exist. It has to admit that there is much which is foul and wrong; but it is unable to make up its mind to fight against that evil, which would mean putting forth the energy to mobilise M
the forces of sixty or seventy million people and thus oppose the menace. The bourgeois classes do just the opposite. When such an effort is made elsewhere they only indulge in silly comment and try from a safe distance to show that such an enterprise is theoretically impossible and doomed to failure. No arguments are too stupid to be employed in defence of their own pettifogging opinions and their moral attitude.</p><blockquote><p>455</p></blockquote><p>If, for instance, a whole continent wages war against alcoholM
ic poisoning, so as to free an entire people from this devastating vice, the only reaction of our European bourgeois is to gape, shake his head and ridicule the movement with a superior sneer
a state of mind which is particularly effective in a society that is so ridiculous. But if all this proves of no avail and in some corner of the world the time-honoured, inviolable routine is attacked, and attacked to some effect, then as has been said, at least the effect must be belittled, even if bourgeois moral principleM
s have to be invoked against a movement, the object of which is to suppress a great moral evil. We must not permit ourselves any illusions on this point. The contemporary bourgeois world has become unfit to perform any such noble task for the sake of humanity, simply because it is of inferior quality and at the same time evil, not so much because it is bent on evil, but because of an all-pervading indolence and its consequences. That is why those political societies which call themselves bourgeois parties are nothiM
ng but associations to promote the interests of certain professional groups and classes: Their highest aim is to defend their own egotistic interests as best they can. It is obvious that such a guild, consisting of bourgeois politicians, may be considered fit for anything rather than a struggle, especially when the adversaries are not cautious shopkeepers but the proletarian masses, goaded to extremity and out to win at any cost. If we consider it the first duty of the State to serve and promote the general welfareM
of the people, by preserving and encouraging the development of the best racial elements, the logical consequence is that this task cannot be limited to measures concerning the birth of the infant members of the race and nation, but that the State will also have to adopt educational means for making each citizen a worthy factor in the further propagation of the race. Just as, in general, racial quality is the preliminary condition for the mental efficiency of any given human material, the training, of the individuM
al will first of all have to be directed towards the development of sound bodily health, for the general rule is that a strong and healthy mind is found only in a strong and healthy body. The fact that men of genius are sometimes not robust in health and stature, and are even of a sickly constitution, is no proof of the falsity of the principle I have enunciated.</p><blockquote><p>456</p></blockquote><p>These cases are only exceptions which, as everywhere else, prove the rule. But when the bulk of a nation is compoM
sed of physical degenerates it is rare for a great man to arise from such a miserable motley, and in any case his activities would never meet with great success. A degenerate mob will either be incapable of understanding him at all or their will-power will be so feeble that they cannot follow the soaring flight of such an eagle. The State that is grounded on the racial principle and is alive to the significance of this truth will first of all have to base its educational work not on the mere imparting of knowledge,M
but rather on physical training and the development of healthy bodies. The cultivation of the intellectual faculties occupies only second place, and here again it is character which has to be developed first of all, namely, strength of will and the ability to make decisions. The educational system ought to foster a spirit of readiness to accept responsibilities gladly. Formal instruction in the sciences must be considered last in importance. Accordingly, the State which is grounded on the racial idea must start wiM
th the principle that a person whose formal education in the sciences is relatively small, but who is physically sound and robust, of a steadfast and honest character, ready and able to make decisions and endowed with strength of will, is a more useful member of the national community than a weakling who is scholarly and refined. A nation composed of learned men who are physically degenerate, or weak-willed and timid pacifists, is not capable of ensuring even its own existence on this earth. In the bitter struggle M
which decides the destiny of man, it is very rare that an individual has succumbed because he lacked learning. Those who fail are they who try to ignore these consequences and are too faint-hearted to put them into effect. There must be a certain balance between mind and body. A degenerate body is not more beautiful because it houses a radiant spirit.</p><blockquote><p>457</p></blockquote><p>We should not be acting justly if we were to bestow the highest intellectual training on those who are physically deformed anM
d crippled, who lack decision and are weak-willed and cowardly. What has made the Greek ideal of beauty immortal is the wonderful union of splendid physical beauty with nobility of mind and spirit. Moltke
s saying, that, in the long run, fortune favours only the efficient, certainly holds good for the relationship between body and spirit. A mind which is sound generally dwells in a body that is sound. Accordingly, in the v
lkisch State physical training is not a matter for the individual alone, nor is it a duty M
which first devolves on the parents and is only secondarily a matter of public interest. It is necessary for the preservation of the people, who are represented and protected by the State. As regards purely formal education the State even now interferes with the individual
s right of self-determination and insists upon the right of the community by subjecting the child to an obligatory system of training, without regard to the views of the parents. In a similar way and to a higher degree the new v
ill one day make its authority prevail, over the ignorance and incomprehension of individuals in problems appertaining to the safety of the nation. It must organise its educational work in such a way that the bodies of the young will lie systematically trained from infancy onwards, so as to be tempered and hardened for the demands to be made on them in later years. Above all, the State must see to it that a generation of book-worms is not developed. The work of education and hygiene has to begin with the young mothM
er. Painstaking efforts carried on for several decades have succeeded in abolishing septic infection in childbirth and in reducing puerperal fever to a relatively small number of cases. It ought to be possible to give nurses and mothers a thorough course of instruction and to institute a system of training the child from early infancy onwards which may serve as an excellent basis for its future development.</p><blockquote><p>458</p></blockquote><p>The v
lkisch State ought to allow much more time for physical trainM
ing in schools. It is nonsense to burden young brains with a load of material of which, as experience shows, they retain only a small part, and mostly not the essentials, but only what is of secondary importance, because the young mind is incapable of sifting the right kind of learning from among all that is crammed into it. To-day, even in the curriculum of the high schools, only two short hours in the week are reserved for gymnastics; and, worse still, it is left to the pupils to decide whether or not they want tM
o take part. This shows a grave disproportion between this branch of education and purely intellectual instruction. Not a single day should be allowed to pass on which the young pupil does not have one hour of physical training in the morning and one in the evening, and every sort of sport and gymnastics should be included. There is one kind of sport which should be especially encouraged, although many people who call themselves v
lkisch consider it brutal and vulgar, namely, boxing. It is incredible how many falsM
e notions prevail among the
classes. The fact that the young man learns, how to fence and then spends his time in duelling is considered quite natural and respectable. But boxing
that is brutal! Why? There is no other sport which equals this in developing the militant spirit, none that demands such a power of rapid decision or gives the body the flexibility of fine steel. It is no more vulgar for two young people to settle their differences with their fists rather than with sharp-pointed pieces of M
steel. One who is attacked and defends himself with his fists surely does not act in less manly a fashion than one who runs off and yells for the assistance of a policeman. But, above all, a healthy youth has to learn to endure hard knocks. This principle may appear savage to our contemporary champions who fight only with the weapons of the intellect, but it is not the purpose of the v
lkisch State to raise a colony of aesthetic pacifists and physical degenerates.</p><blockquote><p>459</p></blockquote><p>This StatM
e does not consider that the human ideal is to be found in the honourable Philistine or the maidenly spinster, but in a bold prototype of manly virtues and in women capable of bringing men into the world. Generally speaking, the function of sport is not only to make the individual strong, alert and daring, but also to harden the body and train it to endure adverse conditions. If our intellectual upper classes had not been trained exclusively in the art of gentlemanly behaviour and if, on the contrary, they had learM
ned boxing, it would never have been possible for bullies, deserters and other such canaille to carry through a German revolution. For the success of this revolution was not due to the courageous, energetic and audacious activities of its authors, but to the lamentable cowardice and irresolution of those who ruled the German State at that time and were responsible for it. Our educated leaders had received only an
training and therefore found themselves defenceless when their adversaries used crowM
-bars instead of intellectual weapons. All this could happen only because our superior scholastic system did not train men to be real men, but merely to be civil servants, engineers, technicians, chemists, litterateurs, jurists and, finally, professors, lest intellectualism die out. Our leaders in the purely intellectual sphere have always been brilliant, but when it came to taking resolute action in practical affairs our leaders have been beneath criticism. Of course, education cannot make a courageous man out of M
one who is temperamentally a coward, but a man who naturally possesses a certain degree of courage will not be able to develop that quality if his defective education has made him inferior to others from the very start as regards physical strength and prowess. The Army offers the best example of the fact that the knowledge of his physical ability develops a man
s courage and militant spirit. Outstanding heroes were not the rule in the Army, but men of average courage. The excellent schooling which the German soldM
ier received before the War imbued the members of the whole gigantic organism with a degree of confidence in their own superiority such as even our opponents never thought possible.</p><blockquote><p>460</p></blockquote><p>All the immortal examples of dauntless courage and daring which the German armies gave during the late summer and autumn of 1914, as they advanced from triumph to triumph, were the result of that training which had been pursued systematically. During the long years of peace before the last war meM
n who were almost physical weaklings were made capable of incredible deeds, and thus a self-confidence was developed which did not fail them even in the most terrible battles. It is our German people, which is now in a state of collapse and helpless to defend itself against the kicks dealt it by the rest of the world, that has need of the power that is the outcome of self-confidence. But this confidence in oneself must be instilled into our children from their very early years. The whole system of education and traM
ining must be directed towards fostering in the child the conviction that he is unquestionably a match for anybody and everybody. The individual has to regain his own physical strength and prowess in order to believe in the invincibility of the nation to which he belongs. What has formerly led the German armies to victory was the sum total of the confidence which each individual had in himself, and which all of them had in their leaders. What will restore the national strength of the German people is the convictionM
that they will be able to regain their liberty, but this conviction can only be the final product of this same feeling in millions of individuals. And here again we must have no illusions. The collapse of our people was overwhelming, and the efforts who put an end to so much misery must be superhuman. It would be a bitter and grave error to believe that our people could be made strong again simply by means of our present bourgeois training in good order and obedience. That will not suffice if we are to break up thM
e present order of things, which now sanctions the acknowledgment of our defeat, and cast the broken chains of our slavery in the faces of our opponents. Only by a superabundance of national energy and a passionate this it for liberty can we recover what has been lost. Again, the manner of clothing the young should be such as harmonises with this purpose.</p><blockquote><p>461</p></blockquote><p>It is really lamentable to see how our young people have fallen victims to a fashion mania which perverts the meaning of M
the old adage that clothes make the man. Especially in regard to young people, clothes should have their place in educational training. The boy who walks about in summer-time wearing long baggy trousers and clad up to the neck is hampered by his clothes from feeling any inclination towards strenuous physical exercise. Ambition and, to speak quite frankly, even vanity must be appealed to. I do not mean such vanity as leads people to want to wear fine clothes, which not everybody can afford, but rather the vanity whiM
ch makes a person want to develop a fine physique which everybody can try to do. This is also of value in later years. The young girl must get to know her mate. If the beauty of the body were not completely forced into the background to-day through our stupid manner of dressing, it would not be possible for thousands of our girls to be led astray by Jewish mongrels, with their repulsive crooked waddle. It is also in the interests of the nation that those of beautiful physique should mate in order that they may playM
their part in providing the nation with fresh beauty. Since we have at present no form of military training and since, consequently, the only institution which, in peace-time at least, partly made up for the lack of physical training in our education is now lacking, what I have suggested is all the more necessary in our time. The success of our old military training not only showed itself in the education of the individual, but also in the influence which it exercised over the mutual relationship between the sexesM
. The young girl preferred the soldier to one who was not a soldier. The v
lkisch State must not confine its control of physical training to the official school period, but must demand that, after leaving school, and while his adolescent body is still developing, the boy continues this training, for on such proper physical development, success in after-life largely depends. It is stupid to think that the right of the State to supervise the education of its young citizens suddenly comes to an end the moment they leM
ave school and recommences only with military service.</p><blockquote><p>462</p></blockquote><p>This right is a duty, and as such it must continue uninterruptedly. The present State, which does not interest itself in developing healthy men, has criminally neglected its duty. It leaves our contemporary youth to be, corrupted on the streets and in the brothels, instead of keeping hold of the reins and continuing the physical training of these young people up to the time when they are grown into healthy young men and M
women. For the present, it is a matter of indifference what form the State chooses for carrying on this training. The essential thing is that it should be developed and that the most suitable ways of doing so should be investigated. The v
lkisch State will have to consider the physical training of the youth after the school period just as much a public duty as his intellectual training, and this training will have to be carried out through public institutions. On general lines it can be a preparation for subsequenM
t service in the Army, and then it will no longer be the task of the Army to teach the young recruit the most elementary drill regulations. In fact, the Army will no longer have to deal with recruits in the present sense of the word, but will rather have to transform into a soldier the youth whose bodily prowess has already been fully developed. In the v
lkisch State the Army will no longer be obliged to teach boys how to walk and stand erect, but it will be the final and supreme school of patriotic education. In M
the Army the young recruit will learn the art of bearing arms and .at the same time he will be equipped for his other duties in later life. The supreme aim of military education must always be to achieve that which was attributed to the old Army as its highest merit, namely, that through his military schooling the boy must be transformed into a man, that he must not only learn to obey, but also acquire the fundamentals that will enable him one day to command. He must learn to remain silent, not only when he is justM
ly rebuked, but also when he is unjustly rebuked. Furthermore, in the consciousness of his own strength and on the basis of that<i>esprit de corps</i>which inspires him and his comrades, he must become convinced that he belongs to a nation which is invincible.</p><blockquote><p>463</p></blockquote><p>After he has completed his military training two certificates shall be handed to the soldier. The one will be his diploma as a citizen of the State, a juridical document which will enable him to take part in public affM
airs. The second will be an attestation of his physical health, which guarantees his fitness for marriage. The v
lkisch State will have to direct the education of girls just as that of boys and according to the same fundamental principles. Here again, special importance must be assigned to physical training, and only after that must the importance of spiritual and mental training be taken into account. In the education of the girl the final goal always to be kept in mind is that she is one day to be a mother. In tM
he second place, the v
lkisch State must busy itself with the all-round training of character. Of course, the essential traits of the individual character are already there before any education takes place. A person who is fundamentally egotistic will always remain fundamentally egotistic, and the idealist will always remain fundamentally an idealist. Besides those, however, who already possess a definite stamp of character there are millions of people with characters that are indefinite and vague. The born delinqM
uent will always remain a delinquent, but numerous people who show only a certain tendency to commit criminal acts may become useful members of the community if rightly trained; whereas, on the other hand, weak and unstable characters may easily become evil elements if the system of education is bad. During the War it was often lamented that our people could be so little reticent. This failing made it very difficult to keep even highly important secrets from the knowledge of the enemy. But let us put the question: M
What did the German educational system do in pre-war times to teach Germans to be discreet?</p><blockquote><p>464</p></blockquote><p>Did it not very often happen in school-days that the little tell-tale was preferred to his companions who kept their mouths shut? Is it not true that then, as well as now, complaining about others was considered praiseworthy
while silent discretion was taken as obstinacy? Has any attempt ever been made to teach the young that discretion is a precious and manly virtue? NM
o, for such matters are trifles in the eyes of our education authorities. But these trifles cost our State innumerable millions in legal expenses, for ninety per cent of all the processes for defamation and similar charges arise only from a lack of discretion. Remarks that are made without any sense of responsibility are thoughtlessly repeated from mouth to mouth, and our economic welfare is continually damaged because important methods of production are carelessly disclosed. Secret preparations for our national deM
fence are rendered illusory because our people have never learned the duty of silence. They repeat everything they happen to hear. In time of war such talkative habits may even cause the loss of battles and may therefore contribute essentially for the unsuccessful outcome of a campaign. Here, as in other matters, we may rest assured that adults cannot do what they have not learnt to do in youth. A teacher must not try to discover the wild tricks of the boys by encouraging the evil practice of tale-bearing. Young peM
ople form a sort of state among themselves and face adults with a certain solidarity. That is quite natural. The ties which unite the ten-year-old boys to one another are stronger and more natural than their relationship to adults. A boy who tells on his comrades commits an act of treason and shows a bent of character which is, to speak bluntly, similar to that of a man who commit; high treason. Such a boy must not be classed as
and so on, but rather as one with undesirable traits of chaM
racter.</p><blockquote><p>465</p></blockquote><p>It may be rather convenient for the teacher to make use of such unworthy tendencies in order to help him in his own work, but by such an attitude the germ of a moral habit is sown in young hearts and may one day have fatal consequences. It has happened more often than once that a young informer developed into a scoundrel. This is only one example among many. The deliberate training of fine and noble traits of character in our schools to-day is almost negative. In theM
future much more emphasis will have to be laid on this side of our educational work. Loyalty, self-sacrifice, and discretion are virtues which a great nation must possess, and the teaching and development of these in the schools is a more important matter than many other things now included in the curriculum. To make the children give up habits of complaining, whining and howling when they are hurt, etc., also belongs to this part of their training. If the educational system fails to teach the child at an early agM
e to endure pain and injury without complaining we cannot be surprised, if at a later age, when the boy has grown to manhood and is, for example, in the trenches, the postal service is used for nothing but to send home letters full of grumbles and complaints. If our youths, during their years in the primary schools, had had their minds crammed with a little less knowledge and if, instead, they had been better taught how to be masters of themselves, it would have served us well during the years 1915
ducational system the v
lkisch State will have to attach the highest importance to the development of character, hand-in-hand with physical training. Many more defects which our rational organism betrays at present could be ameliorated, if not completely eliminated, by education of the right kind. Extreme importance should be attached to the training of will-power and young people should be trained to make firm decisions and to accept responsibility. In the training of our old Army the principle was in vogue that M
any order is always better than no order.</p><blockquote><p>466</p></blockquote><p>Applied to our youth this principle ought to take the form that any answer is better than no answer. The fear of replying, because one fears to be wrong, ought to be considered more humiliating than giving thee wrong reply. On this simple and primitive basis, our youth should be trained to have the courage to act. It has been often lamented that in November and December 1918 all the authorities lost their heads and that, from the monM
arch down to the last divisional commander, nobody had sufficient mettle to make a decision on his own responsibility. That terrible fact constitutes a grave charge against our educational system, because what was revealed on a colossal scale in that moment of catastrophe was only what happens on a smaller scale everywhere among us. It is the lack of will-power, and not the lack of arms, which renders us incapable of offering any serious resistance to-day. This defect is found everywhere among our people and prevenM
ts decisive action wherever risks have to be taken, as if any great action can be taken without involving risk. Quite unsuspectingly, a German general found a formula for this lamentable lack of the will-to-act when he said,
I act only when I can count on a fifty-one per cent chance of success.
fifty-one per cent chance
we find the very key to the German collapse. The man who demands from Fate a guarantee of his success deliberately denies the significance of heroic action, for this significanceM
consists in the very fact that, in the definite knowledge that the situation in question is fraught with mortal danger, an action is undertaken which may lead to success. A patient suffering from cancer, who knows that his death is certain if he does not undergo an operation, needs no assurance of a fifty-one per cent chance of a cure before facing the operation, and if the operation promise only a fraction of a one per cent probability of success; a man of courage would risk it and he who does not take the risk hM
as no right to whine. Taking all in all, cowardly lack of will-power and inability to form resolutions are mainly the outcome of the fundamentally wrong training which our young people receive.</p><blockquote><p>467</p></blockquote><p>The disastrous effects become evident in later life and reach their peak in the lack of civilian courage which our leading statesmen display. The cowardice which leads nowadays to the shirking of every kind of responsibility springs from the same source. Here again it is the fault of M
the education given to our young people. This drawback permeates all sections of public life and finds its consummation in the institutions of government that function under the parliamentary regime. Even in the schools, unfortunately, more value is attached to
confession and full repentance
contrite abjuration,
on the part of little sinners than to a simple and frank avowal. But this latter seems to-day, in the eyes of many a teacher, to savour of a spirit of utter incorrigibility and depravity, anM
d, though it may seem incredible, many a boy is told that the gallows is waiting for him, because he has shown certain traits which might be of inestimable value to the nation its a whole. Just as the v
lkisch State must one day give its attention to training the will-power and capacity for decision among the youth, so too it must cultivate in the hearts of the younger generation from early childhood onwards a readiness to accept responsibility, and the courage to make open and frank avowal. If it recognises the fM
ull significance of this necessity, finally
after a century of educative work
it will succeed in building up a nation which will no longer be subject to those defects that have contributed so disastrously to bring about our present overthrow. The formal imparting of knowledge, which constitutes the chief work of our educational system to-day, will be taken over by the v
lkisch State with only few modifications. These modifications must be made in three branches. First of all, the brains of young people must noM
t be generally burdened with subjects of which ninety-five per cent is useless to them and is therefore forgotten again. The curriculum of the primary and central schools presents an odd mixture at the present time. In many branches of study the subject matter to be learned has become so enormous that only a very small fraction of it can be remembered later on, and indeed only a very small fraction of this whole mass of knowledge can be used.</p><blockquote><p>468</p></blockquote><p>On the other hand, what is learnM
ed is insufficient for anybody who wishes to specialise in any certain branch for the purpose of earning his daily bread. Take, for example, the average civil servant who has passed through the Gymnasium or High School, and ask him, at the age of thirty or forty, how much he has retained of the knowledge that was crammed into him with so much pains. How much is retained of all that was stuffed into his brain? He will certainly answer,
Well, the sole purpose of all I swotted up in those days was not to provide meM
with a great stock of knowledge from which I could draw in later years; but it served to develop the understanding, the memory, and above all it helped to strengthen the thinking power of the brain.
That is partly true. And yet it is somewhat dangerous to submerge a young brain in a flood of impressions, which it can hardly master and the single elements of which it cannot discern or appreciate at their true value. It is mostly the essential part of this knowledge, and not the incidental, that is forgotten and M
sacrificed. Thus the principal purpose of this copious instruction is frustrated, for that purpose cannot be to make the brain capable of learning by simply offering it an enormous and varied amount of subjects for acquisition, but rather to furnish the individual with that stock of knowledge, which he will need in later life and which he can use for the good of the community. This aim, however, is rendered illusory if, because of the superabundance of subjects that have been crammed into his head in childhood, a pM
erson is able to remember nothing, or at least not the essential portion, of all this in later life. There is no reason why millions of people should learn two or three languages during their school years, when only a very small fraction will have the opportunity to use these languages in later life and when most of them will therefore forget these languages completely. To take one instance, out of one hundred thousand students who learn French there are probably not two thousand who will be in a position to make uM
se of this accomplishment in later life, while ninety-eight thousand will never have a chance to utilise in practice what they have learned in youth.</p><blockquote><p>469</p></blockquote><p>They have spent thousands of hours on a subject which will afterwards be of no value or importance to them. The argument that these, subjects form part of a general education is invalid. It would be sound if all these people were able to use this learning in after-life. But, as matters stand, ninety-eight thousand are tortured M
to no purpose and waste valuable time, for the sake of the two thousand to whom the language will be of any use. In the case of that language which I have chosen as an example it cannot be said that the learning of it educates the student in logical thinking or sharpens his mental acumen, as the learning of Latin, for instance, might be said to do. It would, therefore, be much better to teach young students only the general outline or, better, the inner structure of such a language, that is to say, to allow them toM
discern the characteristic features of the language, or perhaps to make them acquainted with the rudiments of its grammar, its pronunciation, its syntax, style, etc. That would be sufficient for average students, because it would provide a clearer view of the whole and could be more easily remembered and would be more practical than the present-day attempt to cram into their heads detailed knowledge of the whole language, which they can never master and which they will readily forget. If this method were adopted, M
then we should avoid the danger that, out of the superabundance of matter taught, only some fragments will remain in the memory, for the children would then have to learn what is worth while, and the selection between the useful and the useless would thus have been made beforehand. As regards the majority of students, the knowledge and understanding of the rudiments of a language would be quite sufficient for the rest of their lives, and those who really do need this language subsequently would thus have a foundatiM
on on which to build, should they, choose to make a more thorough study of it.</p><blockquote><p>470</p></blockquote><p>By adopting such a curriculum the necessary amount of time would be gained for physical exercises, as well as for a more intense training in the various educational fields that have already been mentioned. A reform of particular importance is that which ought to take place in the present methods of teaching history. Scarcely any other people is made to study as much history as the Germans, and scaM
rcely any other people makes such bad use of its historical knowledge. If politics are history in the making, then our way of teaching history stands condemned by the way we have conducted our politics. But, there would be no point in bewailing the lamentable results of our political conduct, unless we are now determined to give our people a better political education. In ninety-nine out of one hundred cases the results of our present teaching of history are deplorable. Usually only a few dates, years of birth and M
names, remain in the memory, while a knowledge of the main and clearly defined lines of historical development is completely lacking. The essential features which are of real significance are not taught. It is left to the more or less bright intelligence of the individual to discover the inner motivating urge amid the mass of dates and chronological succession of events. You may object as strongly as you like to this unpleasant statement, but read with attention the speeches which our parliamentarians make during oM
ne single session on the problems connected with, let us say, foreign policy. Remember that these gentlemen are, or claim to be, the elite of the German nation and that at least a great number of them have sat on the benches of our secondary schools and that many of them have passed through our universities. Then you will realise how defective the historical education of these men has been. If these gentlemen had never studied history at all, but had possessed a sound instinct for public affairs, things would have M
gone better, and the nation would have benefited greatly thereby. The subject matter of our history teaching must be curtailed. The chief value of that teaching is to make the principal lines of historical development understood.</p><blockquote><p>471</p></blockquote><p>The more our historical teaching is limited to this task, the more we may hope that it will turn out subsequently to be of advantage to the individual and, through the individual, to the community as a whole, for history must not be studied merely wM
ith a view to knowing what happened in the past, but as a guide for the future, and to teach us what policy would be the best to follow for the preservation of our own people. That is the real end, and the teaching of history is only a means to attain this end. But here again the means has superseded the end in our contemporary education. The goal is completely forgotten. Do not retort that a profound study of history demands a detailed knowledge of all these dates because otherwise we could not fix the great linesM
of development. That task falls to the professional historians, but the average man is not a professor of history. For him history has only one mission, and that is to provide him with that amount of historical knowledge which is necessary in order to enable him to form an independent opinion on the political affairs of his own country. The man who wants to become a professor of history can devote himself to all the details later on. Naturally he will have to occupy himself even with the smallest details. Of coursM
e our present teaching of history is not adequate to all this, Its scope is too vast for the average student and too limited for the student who wishes to be a historical expert. Finally, it is the business of the v
lkisch State to arrange for the writing of a world history in which the racial problem will occupy a dominant position. To sum up: The v
lkisch State must reconstruct our system of general instruction in such a way that it will embrace only what is essential. Beyond this it will have to make provisionM
for more advanced teaching in the various subjects for those who want to specialise in them. It will suffice for the average individual to be acquainted with the fundamentals of the various subjects to serve as the basis of what may be called an all-round education.</p><blockquote><p>472</p></blockquote><p>He ought to study exhaustively and in detail only that subject in which he intends to work during the rest of his life. General instruction in all subjects should be obligatory, and specialisation should be leftM
to the choice of the individual. In this way the scholastic programme would be shortened, and thus several school hours would be gained which could be utilised for physical exercise and character training in will-power, the capacity for making practical judgments, decisions, etc. The little account taken by our school training to-day, especially in the central schools, of the callings that have to be followed in after-life is demonstrated by the fact that men who are destined for the same calling in life are educaM
ted in three different kinds of schools. What is of decisive importance is general education and not specialised teaching. When special knowledge is needed it cannot be given in the curriculum of our central schools as they are to-day. The v
lkisch State will, therefore, one day have to abolish such half-measures. The second modification in the curriculum which the v
lkisch State will have to make is the following: It is a characteristic of our materialistic epoch that our scientific education shows a growing empM
hasis on what is real and practical, on such subjects as, for instance, applied mathematics, physics, chemistry, etc. Of course, they are necessary in an age that is dominated by industrial technology and chemistry, and of which they are, externally at least, a most significant factor of everyday life, but it is dangerous to base the general education of the nation on a knowledge of, these subjects to the exclusion of all others. General education should, on the contrary, be on cultural lines. It ought to be foundeM
d more on classical studies and should aim at providing only the groundwork for specialised instruction later on in the various practical sciences. Otherwise we should sacrifice those forces that are more important for the preservation of the nation than any technical knowledge. In the history department the study of ancient history should not be omitted.</p><blockquote><p>473</p></blockquote><p>Roman history, along general lines, is, and will remain, the best teacher, not only for our own time, but also for the fuM
ture, and the ideal of Hellenic culture should be preserved for us in all its marvellous beauty. The differences between the various peoples should not prevent us from recognising the community of race which unites them, on a higher plane. The conflict of our time is one that is being waged around great objectives. A civilisation is fighting for its existence. It is a civilisation that is the product of thousands of years of historical development, and the Greek as well as the German forms part of it. A clear-cut dM
ivision must be made between general education and specialised subjects. To-day the latter threaten more and more to become debased in the service of Mammon. To counterbalance this tendency, general culture should be preserved, at least in its ideal forms. The principle should be repeatedly emphasised, that industrial and technical progress, trade and commerce, can flourish only as long as a folk-community inspired by ideals provides the requisite basis. That condition is not created by a spirit of materialistic egM
otism, but by a spirit of self-denial and the joy of giving oneself in the service of others. The system of education which obtains to-day sees its principal object in cramming into young people that knowledge which wall help them to make their way in life. This principle is expressed in the following terms,
The young man must one day become a useful member of human society.
That phrase refers to his ability to gain an honest livelihood. The superficial training in the duties of good citizenship, which he acqM
uires merely incidentally, has very weak foundations. The State in itself represents only a vessel, and therefore it is difficult to train people to look upon this vessel as the ideal which they will have to serve and towards which they must feel responsible. A vessel can be too easily broker. But, as we have seen, people to-day have no clear-cut concept of what the term State
implies. Therefore, there is nothing but the usual stereotyped
patriotic training.</p><blockquote><p>474</p></blockquote><p>In the oldM
Germany this mainly took the form of an adulation (which was often rather stupid and usually boring) of petty potentates who were so numerous that it became necessary to omit all mention of the really great men whom Germany has produced. The result was that the broad masses acquired a very inadequate knowledge of German history. Here, too, the great lines of development were missing. It is evident that by such methods no real national enthusiasm could be aroused. Our educational system proved incapable of selectinM
g from the general mass of our historical personages the names of a few personalities which the German people could be proud to look upon as their own. Thus the whole nation might have been united by the ties of a common knowledge of this common heritage. The really important figures in German history were not presented to the present generation. The attention of the whole nation was not concentrated on them for the purpose of awakening a common national spirit. From the various subjects that were taught, those whoM
had charge of our training seemed incapable of selecting what redounded most to the national honour and of lifting that above the common objective level, in order to inflame the national pride in the light of such brilliant examples. At that time such a course would have been looked upon as rank chauvinism, which did not then have a very pleasant savour. Pettifogging dynastic patriotism was more acceptable and more easily tolerated than the glowing fire of a supreme national pride. The former could always be pressM
ed into service, whereas the latter might one day become a dominating force. Monarchist patriotism terminated in associations of veterans, whereas passionate national patriotism might have opened a road whose goal would have been difficult to determine. This national passion is like a thoroughbred which will not tolerate any sort of rider in the saddle. No wonder that most people preferred to shirk such a danger. Nobody seemed to think it possible that one day a war might come which would put the mettle of this kinM
d of patriotism to the test, in artillery bombardments and waves of attacks with poison gas.</p><blockquote><p>475</p></blockquote><p>But when it did come our lack of this patriotic passion was avenged in a terrible way. None were very enthusiastic about dying for their imperial and royal sovereigns, whilst on the other hand, the
was not recognised by the greater number of the soldiers. Since the Revolution has taken place in Germany and monarchist patriotism has become a thing of the past, the purposeM
of teaching history has merely been to add to the stock of objective knowledge. The present State has no use for patriotic enthusiasm, but it will never obtain what it really desires, for it dynastic patriotism failed to produce a supreme power of resistance at a time when the principle of nationalism dominated, it will be still less possible to arouse republican enthusiasm. There can be no doubt that the German people would not have stood on the field of battle for four and a half years and fought to the battle sM
least of all those who created this grand institution. In reality this Republic has been allowed to exist undisturbed only by virtue of its readiness in assuring all and sundry of its willingness to pay tribute and reparations to the foreigner and to put its signature to any kind of territorial renunciation. The rest of the world approves of it, just as a weakling is always more pleasing to those who want to bend him to their own will than is a man of mettle. But the fact that the enemM
y like this form of government is the worst kind of condemnation. They love the German Republic and tolerate its existence because no better instrument could be found to help them to keep our people in slavery. It is to this fact alone that this magnanimous institution owes its survival. That is why it can dispense with, any real system of national education and can feel satisfied when the heroes who belong to the Reich Banner organisation shout their hurrahs, but in reality these same heroes would scamper away likM
e rabbits if called upon to defend that banner with their blood. The v
lkisch State will have to fight for its existence. It will neither gain nor secure this existence by signing documents like the Dawes Plan, but for its existence and defence it will need precisely those things with which our present system believes it can dispense.</p><blockquote><p>476</p></blockquote><p>The more worthy its form and its inner national character, the greater will be the envy and opposition of its adversaries. The best defence wM
ill not be in the arms it possesses, but in its citizens. It is not fortresses that will protect it, but the living wall of its men and women, filled with an ardent love for their country and a passionate spirit of national patriotism. Therefore, the third point which will have to be considered in relation to our educational system is the following: The v
lkisch State must realise that the sciences may also be made a means of promoting a spirit of pride in the nation. Not only the history of the world, but the hisM
tory of civilisation as a whole, must be taught in the light of this principle. An inventor must appear great not only as an inventor but also, and even more so, as a member of the nation. The admiration aroused by the contemplation of a great achievement must be, transformed into a feeling of pride and satisfaction that a man of one
s own race has been chosen to accomplish it. But out of the abundance of great names in German history the greatest will have to be selected and presented to our younger generation iM
n such a way as to become solid pillars of strength to support the national spirit. The subject matter ought to be systematically organised from the standpoint of this principle, and the teaching should be so orientated that the boy or girl, after leaving school, will not be a semi-pacifist, a democrat or something else of that kind, but a whole-hearted German. In order that this national feeling be sincere from the very beginning, and not a mere pretence, the following fundamental and inflexible principle should bM
e impressed on the young brain while it is yet malleable: The man who loves his nation can prove the sincerity of this sentiment only by being ready to make sacrifices for the nation
s welfare. There is no such thing as a national sentiment which is directed towards personal interests, and there is no such thing as a nationalism that embraces only certain classes.</p><blockquote><p>477</p></blockquote><p>Hurrahing proves nothing and does not confer the right to call oneself national if behind that shout there is M
no sincere preoccupation for the conservation of the nation
s well-being. One can be proud of one
s people only if there is no class left of which one need be ashamed. When one half of a nation is sunk in misery and worn cut by hardship and distress, or even depraved or degenerate, that nation presents such an unattractive picture that nobody can feel proud to belong to it. It is only when a nation is sound in all its members, physically and morally, that the joy of belonging to it can grow and swell to that suM
preme feeling which we call national pride. But this pride, in its highest form, can be felt only by those who know the greatness of their nation. The spirit of nationalism and a feeling for social justice must be fused into one sentiment in the hearts of the youth. Then a day will come when a nation of citizens will arise which will be welded together through a common love and a common pride that shall be invincible and indestructible for ever. The dread of chauvinism, which is a symptom of our time, is a sign of M
its impotence. Since our epoch not only lacks everything in the nature of exuberant energy, but even finds such a manifestation disagreeable, Fate will never select it for the accomplishment of any great deeds. For the greatest changes that have taken place on this earth would have been inconceivable if they had not been inspired by ardent and even hysterical passions, but only by the bourgeois virtues of peacefulness and order. One thing is certain, namely, that our world is facing a great revolution. The only queM
stion is whether the outcome will be propitious for the Aryan portion of mankind or whether the everlasting Jew will profit by it. By educating the younger generation along the right lines, the v
lkisch State will have to see to it that a generation of men will arise fit to play its part in this supreme and final combat that will decide the destiny of the world. That nation will conquer which is the first to take this road. The whole organisation of education and training which the v
lkisch State is to build up mM
ust regard as its crowning task the work of instilling into the hearts and minds of the youth entrusted to it the racial instinct and understanding of the racial idea.</p><blockquote><p>478</p></blockquote><p>No boy or girl must leave school without having attained a clear insight into the meaning of racial purity and the importance of maintaining our racial blood unadulterated. Thus the first indispensable condition for the preservation of our race will have been established and the future cultural progress of ourM
people assured, for all physical and mental training would be in vain unless it benefits an entity which is ready and determined to carry on its own existence and to maintain its own characteristic qualities. If it were otherwise, something would result which we Germans have cause to regret already, without perhaps having hitherto recognised the extent of the tragic calamity. Even in future we should be doomed to remain mere manure for civilisation, and that not in the banal sense of the contemporary bourgeois minM
d, which sees in a lost fellow-member of our people only a lost citizen, but in a sense which we should have to recognise in sorrow, namely, that our, racial blood would be destined to disappear. By continually mixing with other races we might lift them from their former lower level of civilisation to a higher plane, but we ourselves should descend for ever from the heights we had reached. Finally, from the racial standpoint, this training must also find its culmination in military service. The term of military serM
vice is to be a final stage in the educational training which the average German receives. While the v
lkisch State attaches, the greatest importance to physical and mental training, it has also to consider, as no less important, the task of selecting men for the service of the state itself. This important matter is passed over lightly at the present time. Generally, the children of parents who are for the time being in higher situations are, in their turn, considered worthy of a higher education. Here talent playM
s a subordinate part, but talent can be estimated only relatively. Though in general culture he may be inferior to the city child, a peasant boy may be more talented than the son of a family that has occupied high positions for many generations.</p><blockquote><p>479</p></blockquote><p>But the superior culture of the city child has in itself nothing to do with a greater or lesser degree of talent, for this culture has its roots in the more copious mass of impressions which arise from the more varied education and tM
he surroundings among which this child lives. If the intelligent son of peasant parents were educated from childhood in similar surroundings, his intellectual accomplishments would be quite otherwise. In our day there is only one sphere where the circumstances in which a person has been born mean less than his innate gifts. That is the sphere of art. Here, where a person cannot just
but must have innate gifts that later on may undergo a more or less happy development (in the sense of a wise developmentM
of what is already there), money and parental property are of no account. This is definite proof that genius is not necessarily connected with the higher social strata or with wealth. Not rarely the greatest artists come from poor families, and many a boy from a country village has eventually become a celebrated artist. It does not say much for the mental acumen of our time that this truth is not recognised and acted upon to the advantage of our whole intellectual life. The opinion is advanced that this principle,M
though undoubtedly valid in the field of art, has not the same validity in regard to what are called the applied sciences. It is true that a man can be trained to a certain amount of mechanical dexterity, just as a poodle can be taught incredible tricks by a clever master, but such training does not bring the animal to use his intelligence in order to carry out those tricks. The same holds good in regard to man. It is possible to teach men, irrespective of talent, to go through certain scientific exercises, but inM
such cases the results are quite as automatic and mechanical as in the case of the animal. It would even be possible to force a person of mediocre intelligence, by means of an intensive course of intellectual drilling, to acquire more than the average amount of knowledge; but that knowledge would remain sterile.</p><blockquote><p>480</p></blockquote><p>The result would be a man who might be a walking dictionary of knowledge, but who would fail miserably on every critical occasion in life and at every juncture wherM
e vital decisions had to be taken. Such people need to be drilled specially for every new and even most insignificant task and will never be capable, of contributing in the least to the general progress of mankind. Knowledge that is merely drilled into people can at best qualify them to fill government positions under our present regime. It goes without saying that, among the sum total of individuals who make up a nation, gifted people are always to be found in every sphere of life. It is also quite natural that thM
e value of knowledge will be the, greater the more vitally the dead mass of learning is animated by the innate talent of the individual who possesses it. Creative work in this field can be done only through the marriage of knowledge and talent. One example will suffice to show how much our contemporary world is at fault in this matter. From time to time our illustrated papers publish, for the edification of the German Philistine, the news that in some quarter or other of the globe, and for the first time in that loM
cality, a Negro has become a lawyer, a teacher, a pastor, or even a grand opera singer or something else of that kind. While the bourgeois blockhead stares with amazed admiration at the paragraph that tells him how marvellous are the achievements of our modern educational technique, the more cunning Jew sees in this fact a new proof to be utilised for the spreading of the theory with which he wants to infect the public, namely, that all men are equal. It does not dawn on the murky bourgeois mind that the fact whichM
is published for him is a sin against reason itself, that it is an act of criminal insanity to train a being who is only an anthropoid by birth until the pretence can be made that he has been turned into a lawyer; while, on the other hand, millions who belong to the most civilised races have to remain in positions which are unworthy of their cultural level.</p><blockquote><p>481</p></blockquote><p>The bourgeois mind does not realise that it is a sin against the will of the eternal Creator to allow hundreds of thouM
sands of highly gifted people to remain floundering in the swamp of proletarian misery, while Hottentots and Zulus are drilled to fill positions in the intellectual professions. For here we have the product only of a drilling technique, just as in the case of the performing dog. If the same amount of care and effort were applied among intelligent races, each individual would become a thousand times more capable in such matters. This state of affairs would become intolerable if a day should dawn when it is no longerM
a matter of exceptional cases, but the situation is already intolerable where talent and natural gifts are not taken as decisive factors in qualifying for the right to a higher education. It is indeed intolerable to think that year after year hundreds of thousands of young people without a vestige of talent are deemed worthy of a higher education, while other hundreds of thousands who possess high natural gifts have to go without any sort of higher schooling at all. The practical loss thus suffered by the nation iM
s incalculable. If the number of important discoveries which have been made in North America, in particular, has grown considerably in recent years, one of the reasons is that the number of gifted persons belonging to the lowest social classes who were given a higher education in that country is proportionately much larger than in Europe. A stock of knowledge packed into the brain will not suffice for the making of discoveries. What counts here is only that knowledge which is illuminated by natural talent, but withM
us at the present time no value is placed on such gifts. Only good school reports count. Here is another educative work that is waiting for the v
lkisch State to accomplish. It will not be its task to assure a dominant influence to a certain social class already existing, but it will be its duty to attract the most competent brains in the total mass of the nation and promote them to place and honour. It is not merely the duty of the State to give to the average child a certain amount of education in the primary sM
chool, but it is also its duty to make it possible for talent to develop, and above all, it must open the doors of the colleges and universities to talent of every sort, no matter in what social circles it may appear.</p><blockquote><p>482</p></blockquote><p>This is an imperative necessity, for thus alone will it be possible to develop a talented body of public leaders from among the class which has acquired sterile learning. There is still another reason why the State should provide for this situation. Our intelleM
ctual class, particularly in Germany, is so shut up in itself and fossilised that it lacks living contact with the classes beneath it. Two evil consequences result from this. Firstly, the intellectual class neither understands nor sympathises with the broad masses. It has been so long cut off from all connection with them that it cannot understand their psychology. It has become estranged from the people. Secondly, the intellectual class lacks the necessary will-power, for this faculty is always weaker in cultivateM
d circles, which live in seclusion, than among the primitive masses of the people. God knows, we Germans have never been lacking in abundant scientific culture, but we have always had a considerable lack of will-power and of the capacity for making decisions. For example, the more
our statesmen have been, the more lacking they have been, for the most part, in practical achievement. Our political preparation and our technical equipment for the World War were defective, certainly not because the brM
ains governing the nation were too little educated, but because the men who directed our public affairs were overeducated, filled to overflowing with knowledge and intelligence, yet without any sound instinct and simply without energy, or any spirit of daring. It was our nation
s tragedy to have to fight for its existence under a Chancellor who was a dilly-dallying philosopher. If, instead of a Bethmann-Hollweg, we had had a more robust man of the people as our leader, the heroic blood of the common grenadier wouM
ld not have been shed in vain. The exaggeratedly intellectual material out of which our leaders were made, proved to be the best ally of the scoundrels who carried out the November Revolution. These intellectuals safeguarded the national wealth in a miserly fashion; instead of conscripting it to its limits they created the conditions under which others won success.</p><blockquote><p>483</p></blockquote><p>Here, the Catholic Church presents an instructive example. Clerical celibacy forces the Church to recruit its pM
riests not from their own ranks, but progressively from the masses of the people. Yet there are not many who recognise the significance of celibacy in this relation. Therein lies the cause of the inexhaustible vigour which characterises that ancient institution. By unceasingly recruiting the ecclesiastical dignitaries from the lower classes of the people, the Church is enabled not only to maintain the contact of instinctive understanding with the masses of the population, but also to assure itself of always being aM
ble to draw upon that fund of energy which is present only among the lower classes. Hence the surprising youthfulness of that gigantic organism, its mental flexibility and its iron resolution. It will be the task of the v
lkisch State so to organise and administer its educational system that the existing intellectual-class will be constantly furnished with a supply of fresh blood from beneath. From the bulk of the nation the State must sift out with careful scrutiny those persons who are endowed with natural talenM
ts and see to it that they are employed in the service of the community, for neither the State itself nor the various departments of State exist to furnish revenues for members of a special class, but to fulfil the tasks allotted to them. This will be possible, however, only if the State trains individuals especially for these offices. Such individuals must have the necessary fundamental capability and will-power. The principle does not hold good only in regard to the, civil service, but also in regard to all thoseM
who are to take part in the intellectual and moral leadership of the people, no matter in what sphere they may be employed. The greatness of a people is partly dependent on the condition that it must succeed in training the best brains for those branches of the public service for which they show a special natural aptitude and in placing them in the offices where they can do their best work for the good of the community. If two nations of equal strength and quality engage in a mutual conflict, that nation will comeM
out victorious which has entrusted its intellectual and moral leadership to its best talents and that nation will go under whose government represents only a common food trough for privileged groups or classes irrespective of the innate talents of its individual members.</p><blockquote><p>484</p></blockquote><p>Of course, such a reform seems impossible in the world as it is to-day. The objection will at once be raised, that it is too much to expect from the favourite son of a highly-placed civil servant, for instaM
nce, that he shall work with his hands simply because somebody else, whose parents belong to the working-class, seems more capable of filling a job in the civil service. That argument may be valid as long as manual work is looked upon as it is looked upon to-day. Hence the v
lkisch State will have to take up an attitude towards the appreciation of manual labour which will be fundamentally different from that which now exists. If necessary, it will have to organise a persistent system of teaching which will aim at M
abolishing the stupid present-day habit of looking down on manual labour as an occupation of which to be ashamed. The individual will have to be valued, not by the class of work he does, but by the way in which he does it and by its usefulness to the community. This statement may sound monstrous in an epoch when the most brainless column-writer on a newspaper staff is more esteemed than the most expert mechanic, merely because the former pushes a pen. But, as I have said, this false valuation does not correspond toM
the true nature of things. It has been artificially introduced, and there was a time when it did not exist at all. The present unnatural state of affairs is one of those general morbid phenomena that have arisen from our materialistic epoch. Fundamentally, every kind of work has a double value; the one material, the other ideal. The material value depends on the importance of the work in the life of the community. The greater the number of the population who benefit from the work, directly or indirectly, the higheM
r will be its material value. This evaluation is expressed in the material recompense which the individual receives for his labour. In contradiction to this purely material value there is the ideal value. Here the work performed is not judged by its material importance, but by the degree to which it answers a necessity.</p><blockquote><p>485</p></blockquote><p>Certainly the material utility of an invention may be greater than that of the service rendered by an ordinary workman; but it is also certain that the commuM
nity needs each of those small daily services just as much as the greater services. From the material point of view a distinction can be made in the evaluation of different kinds of work according to their utility to the community, and this; distinction is expressed by differentiation in the scale of recompense; but on the ideal or abstract plane all workmen become equal the moment each strives to do his best in his own field, no matter what that field may be. It is on this that a man
s value must be estimated, aM
nd not on the amount of recompense received. In a sensibly governed State care must be taken that each individual is given the kind of work which corresponds to his capabilities. In other words, people will be trained for the positions indicated by their natural endowments; but these endowments or faculties are innate and cannot be acquired by any amount of training, being a gift of Nature and not the reward of effort. Therefore, the way in which men are generally esteemed by their fellow-citizens must not be accorM
ding to the kind of work they do, because that has been more or less assigned to the individual. Seeing that the kind of work on which the individual is employed is determined by his circumstances and the training which he has, in consequence, received from the community. He will have to be judged by the way in which he performs the work entrusted to him by the community, for the work which the individual performs is not the purpose of his existence, but only a means of livelihood. His real purpose in life is to beM
tter himself and raise himself to a higher level as a human being; but this he can only do in and through the community, whose cultural life he shares and this community must always exist on the foundations of a State. He must contribute to the conservation of those foundations.</p><blockquote><p>486</p></blockquote><p>Nature determines the form of this contribution. It is the duty of the individual to return to the community, zealously and honestly, what the community has given him. He who does this deserves the hM
ighest respect and esteem. Material remuneration may be given to him whose work has a corresponding utility for the community; but the ideal recompense must lie in the esteem to which everyone has a claim who serves his nation with whatever powers Nature has bestowed upon him and which have been developed by the training he has received from the national community. Then it will no longer be dishonourable to be an honest craftsman, but it will be a source of disgrace to be an inefficient State official, wasting God
s day and filching one
s daily bread from an honest public. Then it will be looked upon as quite natural that positions should not be given to persons who, of their very nature, are incapable of filling them. Furthermore, this personal efficiency will be the sole criterion of the right to take part on an equal juridical footing in general civic affairs. The present epoch is working out its own ruin. It introduces universal suffrage and chatters about equal rights, but can find no foundation for this equality. IM
t considers the material wage as the expression of a man
s value and thus destroys the basis of the noblest kind of equality that can exist, for equality cannot and does not depend on the work a man does, but only on the manner in which each one does the particular work allotted to him. Thus alone will the mere accident of birth be set aside in determining the worth of a man and thus only does the individual become the creator of his own social worth. At the present time, when whole groups of people estimate eachM
s value only by the size of the salaries which they respectively receive, there can be no understanding of all this, but that is no reason why we should cease to champion these ideas. On the contrary, in an epoch which is inwardly diseased and decaying anyone who would heal it must have the courage first to probe to the real roots of the disease.</p><blockquote><p>487</p></blockquote><p>The National Socialist Movement must take that duty on its shoulders, it must act over the heads of the small bourgeoisieM
and rally together and coordinate all those elements within the community which are fit to become the protagonists of a new<i>Weltanschauung</i>. Of course the objection will be made that in general it is difficult to differentiate between the material and ideal values of work and that the lower prestige which is attached to manual labour is due to the fact that smaller wages are paid for that kind of work. It will be said that the lower wage is, in its turn, the reason why the manual worker has less chance to parM
ticipate in the culture of the nation, so that the ideal side of human culture is less open to him although it may have nothing to do with his daily activities. It may be added that reluctance to do physical work is justified by the fact that, on account of his low wages the cultural level of the manual labourer must naturally be low, and that this in turn is a justification for the lower estimation in which manual labour is generally held. There is a good deal of truth in all this, but that is the very reason why M
we ought to see that in future there should not be such a wide difference in the scale of remuneration. We will not entertain the argument that under such condition: poorer work would be done. It would be the saddest symptom of decadence if finer intellectual work could be obtained only through the stimulus of higher payment. If that point of view had ruled the world up to now, humanity would never have come into its great scientific and cultural heritage, for the greatest inventions, the greatest discoveries, the M
most profoundly revolutionary scientific work, and the most magnificent monuments of human culture, were not given to the world from greed of gain. On the contrary only too often the fact that they were given to the world meant a renunciation of the worldly pleasures that wealth can purchase. It may be that money has become the one power that governs life to-day, yet a time will come when men will again bow to higher gods. Much that we have to-day owes its existence to the desire for money and property, but there iM
s very little among all this which would leave the world poorer by its absence.</p><blockquote><p>488</p></blockquote><p>It is also one of the aims of our Movement to hold out the prospect of a time when the individual will be given what he needs for the purposes of his life and it will be a time in which, on the other hand, the principle will be upheld that man does not live for material enjoyment alone. This principle will find expression in a wisely limited scale of wages and salaries which will enable everyone,M
including the humblest workman who fulfils his duties conscientiously, to live an honourable and decent life both as a man and as a citizen. Let it not be said that this is merely a visionary ideal, that this world would never tolerate it in practice and that of itself it is impossible to attain. Even we are not so simple as to believe that there will ever be an age in which there will be no drawbacks, but that does not release us from the obligation to fight for the removal of the defects which we have recognisedM
, to overcome the shortcomings and to strive towards the ideal. In any case, the hard reality of the facts to be faced will always place only too many limits on our aspirations. But that is precisely why man must strive again and again to serve the ultimate aim. No failures must induce him to renounce his intentions, just as we cannot spurn the sway of justice because mistakes creep into the administration of the law, and just as we cannot despise medical science because, in spite of it, there will always be diseasM
e. Man should take care not to have too low an estimate of the power of an ideal. If there are some who feel disheartened over present conditions, and if they happen to have served as soldiers, I would remind them of the time when their heroism was the most convincing example of the power inherent in ideal motives. It was not preoccupation about their daily bread that led men to sacrifice their lives, but love of their country, the faith which they had in its greatness, and the common struggle to uphold the honour M
of the nation. Only after the German people had abandoned these ideals in favour of the material promises offered by the Revolution, only after they had exchanged their arms for the rucksack, only then
instead of entering an earthly paradise
did they think into the purgatory of universal contempt and universal want. That is why we must confront the calculators of the materialistic Republic with faith in an ideal Reich.</p><blockquote><p>489</p></blockquote><blockquote><p>490</p></blockquote><blockquote><p>491<M
/p></blockquote><h1 id="chapter-iii-citizens-and-subjects-of-the-state">CHAPTER III: CITIZENS AND SUBJECTS OF THE STATE</h1><p>The institution that is now erroneously called the State generally classifies people in two groups
citizens and aliens. Citizens are all those who possess full civic rights, either by reason of their birth or by an act of naturalization. Aliens are those who enjoy the same rights in some other State. Between these two categories there are certain beings who resemble a sort of meteoric pheM
nomena. They are people who have no citizenship in any State and consequently no civic-rights anywhere. In most cases, a person acquires civic rights nowadays by being born within the frontiers of a State. The race or nationality to which he may belong plays no role whatsoever. The child of a Negro who once lived in one of the German protectorates and now takes up his residence in Germany automatically becomes a
in the eyes of the world. In the same way the child of any Jew, Pole, African or AsM
ian may automatically become a German citizen. Besides nationality that is acquired through the fact of having been born within the confines of a State, there exists another kind of nationality which can be acquired later. This process is subject to various preliminary requirements. For example, one condition is that, if possible, the applicant must not be a burglar or a pimp. His political attitude must be such as to give no cause for uneasiness; in other words, he must be a harmless simpleton in politics. It is rM
equired that he shall not be a burden to the State of which he wishes to become a citizen. In this realistic epoch of ours this last condition naturally only means that he must not be a financial burden.</p><blockquote><p>492</p></blockquote><p>If the affairs of the candidate are such that it appears likely he will turn out to be a good taxpayer, that is a very important consideration and will help him to obtain civic rights all the more rapidly. The question of race plays no part at all. The whole process of acquiM
ring civic rights is not very different from that of being admitted to membership of an automobile club, for instance: A person files his application; it is examined; it is sanctioned, and one day the man receives a card which informs him that he has become a citizen. The information is given in an amusing way. An applicant who has hitherto been a Zulu or a Kaffir is informed,
By these presents you have now become a German citizen.
The President of the State can perform this piece of magic. What God Himself cM
ould not do is achieved by some Theophrastus Paracelsus of a civil servant. A stroke of the pen, and a Mongolian slave is forthwith turned into a real
. Not only is no question asked regarding the race to which the new citizen belonged; even the matter of his physical health is not inquired into. His flesh may be corrupt with syphilis; but he will still be welcome in the State as it exists to-day, as long as he is not likely to become a financial burden or a political menace. In this way, year after yeaM
r, those organisms which we call States absorb poisonous matter which they can hardly ever overcome. Another point of distinction between a citizen and an alien is that the former is admitted to all public offices, that he may possibly have to do military service and that in return, he is permitted to take a passive or active part at public elections. Those are his chief privileges, for in regard to personal rights and personal liberty the alien enjoys the same amount of protection as the citizen, and frequently evM
en more. Anyhow that is what happens in our present German Republic. I fully realise that nobody likes to hear these things, but it would be difficult to find anything more illogical or more insane than our contemporary laws in regard to State citizenship.</p><blockquote><p>493</p></blockquote><p>At present there exists one State which is making at least a feeble attempt to follow a sounder principle in this respect. It is not, however, in our model German Republic, but in the U.S.A. that efforts are being made to M
conform at least partly to the dictates of common sense. By refusing to allow immigrants to enter the country if they are in a bad state of health, and by excluding certain races from the right to become naturalised as citizens, they have begun to introduce principles similar to those on which we wish to ground the v
lkisch State will classify its population in three groups, namely, citizens, subjects of the State, and aliens. The principle is that birth within the confines of the State gives M
only the status of a subject. It does not carry with it the right to fill any position under the State or to participate in political life, such as taking an active or passive part in elections. Another principle is that the race and nationality of every subject of the State will have to be proved. A subject is at any time free to cease being a subject and to become a citizen of that country to which he belongs in virtue of his nationality. The only difference between an alien and a subject of the State is that theM
former is a citizen of another country. A boy of German nationality who is a subject of the German State is bound to complete the period of school education which is obligatory for every German. Thereby he submits to the system of training which will make him, race-conscious and make him realise that he is a member of the folk-community. Then he has to fulfil all those requirements laid down by the State in regard to physical training after he has left school, and finally he enters the Army. The training in the ArM
my is of a general kind. It must be given to each individual German and will render him competent to fulfil the physical and mental requirements of military service.</p><blockquote><p>494</p></blockquote><p>The rights of citizenship will be conferred on every young man, whose health and character have been certified as good, after having completed his period of military service. This act of admission to the dignity of citizenship will be a solemn ceremony, and the diploma conferring the rights of citizenship will bM
e preserved by the young man as a most precious testimonial throughout his whole life. It entitles him to exercise all the rights of a citizen and to enjoy all the privileges attached thereto, for the State must draw a sharp line of distinction between those who, as members of the nation, are the foundation and the support of its existence and greatness, and those who are domiciled in the State simply because they earn their livelihood there. On the occasion of receiving a diploma of citizenship the new citizen musM
t take a solemn oath of loyalty to the national community and the State. This diploma must be a bond which unites all the various classes and sections of the nation. It must be regarded as a greater honour to be a citizen of this Reich, even as a street-sweeper, than to be the king of a foreign State. The citizen has privileges which are not accorded to the alien. He is the master in the Reich, but this high honour brings with it obligations. Those who are without personal honour or character, who are common criminM
als, or traitors to the Fatherland, can at any time be deprived of the rights of citizenship. Thereby they revert to the status of mere subjects of the State. The German girl is a subject of the State, but becomes a citizen when she marries. At the same time those women who earn their livelihood independently have the right to acquire citizenship, if they are German subjects.</p><blockquote><p>495</p></blockquote><blockquote><p>496</p></blockquote><blockquote><p>497</p></blockquote><h1 id="chapter-iv-personality-anM
d-the-ideal-of-the-v
lkisch-state">CHAPTER IV: PERSONALITY AND THE IDEAL OF THE<em>V
LKISCH</em>STATE</h1><p>If the principal duty of the national socialist v
lkisch State be to educate and promote the existence of those who constitute the material out of which the State is formed, it will not be sufficient to promote those racial elements as such, educate them and finally train them for practical life. The State must also adapt its own organisation to meet the exigencies of this task. It would be absurd to apprM
s worth by the race to which he belongs, and at the same time to make war against the Marxist principle that all men are equal, without being determined to pursue our own principle to its logical conclusion. If we admit the significance of blood, that is to say, if we recognise the race as the fundamental element on which all life is based, we shall have to apply to the individual the logical consequences of this principle. In general I must estimate the worth of nations differently, on the basis of thM
e different races from which they spring, and I must also differentiate in estimating the, worth of the individual within his own race. The principle that one people is not the same as another, applies also to the individual members of a national community, just as no one man, for instance, is equal to another, because the constituent elements belonging to the same blood vary in a thousand subtle details, though they are fundamentally of the same quality. The first consequence of recognition of this fact is, if I mM
ay use such an expression, somewhat crude, being an attempt to help and promote those elements within the folk-community which are of particular value from the racial point of view and to encourage them to increase and multiply. This task is comparatively simple because it can be recognised and carried out almost mechanically. It is much more difficult to select from among the whole bulk of the people those who actually possess the highest intellectual and spiritual characteristics and to assign them to that sphereM
of influence which not only corresponds to their outstanding talents, but in which their activities will be of benefit to the nation.</p><blockquote><p>498</p></blockquote><p>Selection according to capacity and efficiency cannot be effected in a mechanical way. It is a work which can be accomplished only through the permanent struggle of everyday life itself. A<i>Weltanschauung</i>which repudiates the democratic principle of the rule of the masses and aims at giving this world to the best people
highest quality of mankind
must also apply that same aristocratic postulate to the individuals within the folk-community. It must take care that the positions of leadership and highest influence are given to the best men. Hence it is not based on the idea of the majority, but on that of personality. Anyone who believes that the v
lkisch National Socialist State should distinguish itself from the other States only mechanically, as it were, through the better construction of its economic life
thanks to a better M
equilibrium between poverty and riches, or to the extension to broader masses of the power to determine the economic process, or to a fairer wage-system, or to the elimination of vast differences in the scale of salaries
understands only the superficial feature, of our Movement and has not the least idea of what we man when we speak of our<i>Weltanschauung</i>. All these features just mentioned could not guarantee us a lasting existence and certainly would be no warranty of greatness. A nation that could content M
itself with external reforms, would not have the slightest chance of success in the general struggle for life among the nations of the world. A movement that confined its mission to such adjustments, however right and equitable, would effect no far-reaching or profound reform of the existing order. The whole effect of such measures would be limited to externals. They would not furnish the nation with that moral armament which alone will enable it effectively to overcome the weaknesses from which we are suffering toM
-day. In order to elucidate this point of view it may be worth while to glance once again at the real origins and causes of the cultural evolution of mankind. The first step which visibly raised mankind above the animal world was that which led to the first invention.</p><blockquote><p>499</p></blockquote><p>The invention itself owes its origin to the ruses and stratagems which man employed to assist him in the struggle for existence against, other creatures and often to provide him with the only means he could adoM
pt to achieve success in this struggle. Those first very crude inventions do not reveal the individual personality, for the subsequent observer, that is to say, the modern observer, recognises them only as collective phenomena. Certain tricks and skilful tactics which can be observed among animals strike the eye of the observer as established facts which may be seen everywhere and man is no longer in a position to discover or explain their primary cause and so he contents himself with calling such phenomena instincM
tive. In our case, this term has no meaning, because everyone who believes in the higher evolution of living organisms must admit that every manifestation of the vital urge and struggle to live must have had a definite, beginning in time and that one subject alone must have manifested it for the first time. It was then repeated again and again, and the practice of it spread over a widening area, until finally it passed into the subconsciousness of every member of the species, where it manifested itself as
This is more easily understood and more easy to believe in the case of man. His first skilled tactics in the struggle against the rest of the animals undoubtedly originated with individuals possessing special capabilities. There can be no doubt that personality was then the sole factor in all decisions and achievements which were afterwards taken over by the whole of humanity as a matter of course. An exact exemplification of this may be found in those fundamental military principles which have now become thM
e basis of all strategy in war. Originally, they sprang from the brain of a single individual and in the course of many years, maybe even thousands of years, they were accepted all around as a matter of course and thus gained universal validity. Man supplemented his first discovery by making a second. Among other things he learned how to master other living beings and make then serve him in his struggle for existence, and thus began the real inventive activity of mankind, as it is now evident to its.</p><blockquoteM
><p>500</p></blockquote><p>Those material inventions, beginning with the use of stones as weapons, which led to the domestication of animals and the production of fire by artificial means, down to the many marvellous inventions of our own day, reveal more clearly the individual as the originator, the nearer we come to our own time and the more important and revolutionary the inventions become. All the material inventions which we see around us have been produced by the creative powers and capabilities of individualM
s, and all these inventions help man to raise himself higher and higher above the animal world and to separate himself from that world in an absolutely definite way. Hence, they serve fundamentally to promote the continued progress of the human species. What the most primitive artifice once did for man in his struggle for existence, as he went hunting in the primeval forest, is being done for him to-day in the form of marvellous scientific inventions which help him to wage the present-day struggle for life and forgM
e weapons for future struggles. Ultimately, all human thought and all human inventions help man in his life-struggle on this planet, even though the so-called practical utility of an invention, a discovery or a profound scientific theory, may not be evident at first sight. Everything contributes to raise man higher and higher above the level of all the other creatures that surround him, thereby strengthening and consolidating his position, so that he develops more and more in every direction as the ruling being on M
this earth. Hence, all inventions are the result of the creative faculty of the individual and all such individuals, whether they have willed it or not, are, in a greater or lesser degree, benefactors of mankind. Through their work millions, and indeed billions, of human beings have been provided with means which facilitate their struggle for existence. If then we see the inventive minds to which we owe the origin of the material civilisation of our day, as individuals who supplement one another and continue the woM
rk their predecessors have begun, the same is true in regard to the practical application of those inventions and discoveries. For all the various methods of production are in their turn inventions also and consequently dependent on the creative faculty of the individual.</p><blockquote><p>501</p></blockquote><p>Even the purely theoretical work, which cannot be measured by a definite rule and is preliminary to all subsequent technical discoveries, is exclusively the product of the individual brain. Humanity in bulkM
does not turn out inventions, nor does the majority organise and think, but only the individual man. Accordingly, a human community is well organised only when it facilitates to the highest possible degree individual creative forces and utilises their work for the benefit of the community. The most valuable factor of an invention, whether it be in the world of material realities or in the world of abstract ideas, is the personality of the inventor himself. The first and supreme duty of an organised folk-community M
is to place the inventor in a position where he can be of the greatest benefit to all. Indeed, the very purpose of the organisation is to put this principle into practice. Only by so doing can it ward off the curse of mechanisation and become a living thing. In itself it must personify the effort to place men of brains above the multitude and to make the latter obey the former. Therefore, not only does the organisation possess no right to prevent men of brains from rising above the multitude but, on the contrary, iM
t must use its organising powers to enable and promote their progress as far as it possibly can. It must set out from the principle that the blessings of mankind never came from the masses, but from the creative brains of individuals, who are therefore the real benefactors of humanity. It is in the interest of all to ensure men of creative brains a decisive influence and facilitate their work. This common interest is surely not served by allowing the multitude to rule, for it is not capable of thinking nor is it efM
ficient and in no circumstances whatsoever can it be said to be gifted. Only those should rule who have the natural temperament and gifts of leadership.</p><blockquote><p>502</p></blockquote><p>Such men of brains are selected mainly, as I have already said, through the hard struggle for existence itself. In this struggle there are many who break down and collapse and thereby show that they are not called upon by Destiny to fill the highest positions, and only very few are left who can be classed among the elect. InM
the realm of thought and of artistic creation, and even in the economic field, this same process of selection takes place even to-day, although
especially in the economic field
its operation is heavily handicapped. This same principle of selection holds good in the administration of the State and in that force which is represented by the organised military defence of the nation. The idea of personality, of the authority of the individual over his subordinates and of the responsibility of the individual towardM
s the persons who are placed over him dominates in every sphere of life. It is only in political life that this very natural principle has been completely ignored. Though all human civilisation has resulted exclusively from the creative activity of the individual, the principle that it is
the majority which counts,
persists throughout the entire, national community and more especially as regards its administration, whence the poison gradually filters into all branches of national life, thus causing a veritablM
e decomposition. The destructive activities of Judaism in different parts of the national body can be ascribed fundamentally to the persistent Jewish efforts at undermining the importance of personality among the nations that are their hosts and, in place of personality, substituting the domination of the masses. The constructive principle of Aryan humanity is thus displaced by the destructive principle of the Jews. They are the ferment of decomposition
among nations and races and, in a broad sense, the wreckersM
of human civilisation. Marxism represents the most striking phase of the Jewish endeavour to eliminate the dominant significance of personality in every sphere of human life and to replace it by the numerical power of the masses. In politics the parliamentary form of government is the expression of this effort. We can observe the fatal effects of it everywhere, from the smallest parish council upwards to the highest government circles in the Reich.</p><blockquote><p>503</p></blockquote><p>In the field of economicsM
we have the trade-union movement, which serves not the real interests of the employees, but the destructive aims of international Jewry. In the same degree in which the principle of personality is excluded from the economic life of the nation, and the influence and activities of the masses substituted in its stead, national economy, which should be for the service and benefit of the community as a whole, will gradually deteriorate in creative capacity. The works committees which, instead of caring for the interestM
s of the employees, strive to influence the process of production, serve the same destructive purpose. They damage production as a whole and consequently injure the individual engaged in industry, for in the long run it is impossible to satisfy popular demands merely by high-sounding theoretical phrases. These can be satisfied only by supplying goods to meet the individual needs of daily life and by so doing, creating the conviction that, through the productive collaboration of its members, the folk-community serveM
s the interests of the individual. Even if, on the basis of its mass-theory, Marxism should prove itself capable of taking over and developing the present economic system, this would not be of vital significance. The question as to whether the Marxist doctrine be right or wrong cannot be decided by any test which would show that it can administer for futurity what already exists to-day. It need only be asked whether it has the creative power to build up, according to its own principles, a civilisation which would bM
e a counterpart of what already exists. Even if Marxism were a thousand-fold capable of taking over the economic system as we now have it, and of maintaining it in operation under Marxist direction, such an achievement would prove nothing. This is because, on the basis of its own principles, Marxism would never be able to create anything which could supplant what exists to-day. Marxism itself has furnished the proof that it cannot do this. Not only has it been unable to create a cultural or economic system of its oM
wn anywhere; but it was not even able to develop, according to its own principles, the civilisation and economic system it found ready to hand.</p><blockquote><p>504</p></blockquote><p>It has had to make compromises, by way of a return to the principle of personality, nor can it dispense with that principle in its own organisation. The<i>v
lkisch Weltanschauung</i>differs fundamentally from the Marxist by reason of the fact that the former recognises the significance of race and therefore also of personal worth anM
d has made these the pillars of its structure. These are the most important factors of this<i>Weltanschauung</i>. If the National Socialist Movement should fail to understand the fundamental importance of this essential principle, if it should content itself with patching up the present State from without and adopt the majority principle, it would really do nothing more than compete with Marxism on its own ground. For that reason it would not have the right to call itself a<i>Weltanschauung</i>. If the social progrM
amme of the movement consisted in eliminating personality and putting the multitude in its place, then National Socialism would be corrupted with the poison of Marxism, just as our bourgeois parties are. The<i>v
lkisch</i>State must ensure the welfare of its citizens by recognising the importance of the individual in all circumstances and by preparing the way for the maximum of productive efficiency in all the various branches of economic life, thus securing to the individual the highest possible share in the geneM
ral output. Hence, the<i>v
lkisch</i>State must mercilessly eliminate from all the leading circles in the government of the country the parliamentarian principle, according to which decisive power through the majority vote is invested in the multitude. Personal responsibility must be substituted in its stead. Thus we arrive at the following conclusion; The best constitution and the best form of government is that which, as a matter of course, renders it possible for the best brains to reach a position of dominant M
importance and influence in the community. Just as in the field of economics men of outstanding ability cannot be selected from above, but must come to the fore by virtue of their own efforts, and just as there is an unceasing educative process that leads from the smallest shop to the largest undertaking, and just as life itself provides the necessary tests, so in the political field it is not possible to
political talent at short notice.</p><blockquote><p>505</p></blockquote><p>Genius of an extraordM
inary stamp precludes consideration of the claims of the average man. In its organisation, the State must be established on the principle of personality, starting from the smallest cell and ascending to the supreme man in the government of the country. There are no decisions made by the majority vote, but only by responsible persons, and the word
is once more restored to its original meaning. Every man in a position of responsibility will have counsellors at his side, but the decision is made by that M
individual alone. The principle which made the former Prussian Army an admirable instrument of the German nation will have to become the basis of our state constitution, that is to say, full authority over his subordinates must be invested in each leader and he must be responsible to those above him. Even then we shall not be able to do without those corporations which at present we call parliaments, but they will be real councils, in the sense that they, will have to give advice. The responsibility can and must beM
borne by one individual, who alone will be vested with authority and the right to command. Parliaments as such are necessary, because they alone furnish the opportunity for leaders, who will subsequently be entrusted with positions of special responsibility, to rise gradually to authority. The following is an outline of the picture which the organisation will present. From the municipal administration up to the government of the Reich, the<i>v
lkisch</i>State will not have any body of representatives which makes M
its decisions by a majority vote. It will have only advisory bodies to assist the chosen leader for the time being and he will distribute among them the various duties they are to perform. In certain fields they may, if necessary, have to assume full responsibility, such as the leader or president of each corporation possesses on a larger scale. In principle the<i>v
lkisch</i>State must forbid the custom of taking advice on certain political problems (economics, for instance) from parsons who are entirely incompetM
ent, because they lack special training and practical experience in such matters.</p><blockquote><p>506</p></blockquote><p>Consequently, the State must divide its representative bodies into a political chamber and a corporative chamber that represents the respective trades and professions. To assure effective co-operation between those two bodies, a selected body, or senate will be placed ever them. No vote will be taken in the chambers or in the senate. They are to be organisations for work and not voting machinesM
. The individual members will have consultative votes, but no right of decision will be attached thereto. The right of decision belongs exclusively to the president, who must be entirely responsible for the matter under discussion. This principle of combining absolute authority with absolute responsibility will gradually cause a selected group of leaders to emerge
a thing which is impossible in our present epoch of irresponsible parliamentarianism. The political construction of the nation will thereby be brought M
into harmony with those laws to which the nation already owes its greatness in the economic and cultural spheres. Regarding the possibility of putting these principles into practice, I should like to call attention to the fact that the principle of parliamentarian democracy, whereby decisions are enacted through the majority vote, has not always ruled the world. On the contrary, we find it prevalent only during short periods of history and these have always been periods of decline in nations and States. One must noM
t believe, however, that such a radical change could be effected by measures of a purely theoretical character, operating from above downwards. The change I have been describing could not be limited to transforming the constitution of a State, but would have to include the various fields of legislation and civic existence as a whole. Such a revolution can be brought about only by means of a movement which is itself organised on the lines of these principles and thus bears, the germ of the future State in its own orM
ganism.</p><blockquote><p>507</p></blockquote><p>Therefore, it is well for the National Socialist Movement to make itself completely familiar with these principles to-day and actually to put them into practice within its own organisation, so that not only will it be in a position to serve as a guide for the future State, but will have so far completed its own constitution that it can be placed at the disposal of the State itself.</p><blockquote><p>508</p></blockquote><blockquote><p>509</p></blockquote><blockquote><M
p>510</p></blockquote><h1 id="chapter-v-weltanschauung-and-organisation">CHAPTER V:<em>WELTANSCHAUUNG</em>AND ORGANISATION</h1><p>The<i>v
lkisch</i>state, which I have tried to sketch in general outline, will not yet become a reality by virtue of the simple fact that we know the conditions indispensable for its existence. It does not suffice to know what aspect such a State would present. The problem of its foundation is far more important. The parties which exist at present and which draw their, profits from the M
State, as it now is, cannot be expected to bring about a radical change in the regime or to change their attitude on their own initiative. This is rendered all the more impossible because those who now have the direction of affairs in their hands are all of them Jews. The trend of development which we are now experiencing would, if allowed to go on unchecked, lead to the realisation of the pan-Jewish prophecy that the Jews will one day devour the other nations and become lords of the earth. In contrast to the milliM
Germans, who are stumbling to their ruin, mostly through timidity, indolence and stupidity, the Jew pursues his way persistently and keeps his eye always fixed on his future goal. Any party that is led by him fights for no other interests than his, and his interests certainly have nothing in common with those of the Aryan nations. If we would transform our ideal picture of the<i>v
lkisch</i>State into a reality we shall have to keep independent of the forces that now coM
ntrol public life and seek for new forces that will be ready and capable of taking up the fight for such an ideal. For a fight it will have to be, since the first task will not be to build up the idea of the<i>v
lkisch</i>State, but rather to wipe out the Jewish State which now exists. As so often happens in the course of history, the main difficulty is not to establish a new order of things, but to clear the ground for its establishment.</p><blockquote><p>511</p></blockquote><p>Prejudices and egotistic interests M
join together in forming a common front against the new idea and in trying by every means to prevent its triumph, because it is disagreeable to them or threatens their existence. That is why the protagonist of the new idea is, unfortunately, in spite of his desire for constructive work, compelled to wage a destructive battle first, in order to abolish the existing state of affairs. A doctrine whose principles are radically new and of essential importance must adopt the sharp probe of criticism as its weapon, thoughM
this may prove disagreeable to the individual followers. It is evidence of a very superficial insight into historical developments if the supporters of the so-called pseudo-<i>v
lkisch</i>movement emphasise again and again that they will, in no circumstances, adopt the use of negative criticism, but will engage only in constructive work. That is nothing but puerile chatter and is typical of all the rubbish talked by the adherents of this<i>v
lkisch</i>craze. It is another proof that the history of our own times,M
has made no impression on their minds. Marxism, too, has had its aims to pursue and converted and won over to the new movement simply by being shown that something new is necessary. On the contrary, what may easily happen is that two different situations will exist side by side and that a<i>Weltanschauung</i>is transformed into a party, above which level it will not be able to raise itself afterwards, for a<i>Weltanschauung</i>is intolerant and cannot permit another to exist side by side with it. It imperiously deM
mands its own recognition as unique and exclusive, and insists upon a complete reformation of public life in all its branches, in accordance with its views. It can never allow the previous state of affairs to continue in existence alongside it. The same holds true of religions. Christianity was, not content with erecting an altar of its own. It had first to destroy the pagan altars. It was only by virtue of this passionate intolerance that an apodictic faith could grow up, and intolerance is an indispensable conditM
ion for the growth of such a faith. It may be objected here that in these phenomena which we find throughout the history of the world we have to recognise mostly a specifically Jewish mode of thought and that such fanaticism and intolerance are typical symptoms of the Jewish mentality.</p><blockquote><p>512</p></blockquote><p>This may be true a thousand times over and we may regret that it is so and note with a feeling of uneasiness that this phenomenon has hitherto been unknown in the history of mankind
hard fact remains that such is the situation to-day. It is not the business of the men who wish to liberate our German nation from the conditions is in which it now exists to burden their brains with thinking how excellent it would be if this or that had never occurred. They must strive to find ways and means of abolishing what actually exists. A philosophy of life which is inspired by a fanatical spirit of intolerance can only be set aside by a doctrine that is advanced in an equally ardent spirit and fought for wM
ith as determined a will and which is itself a new idea, pure and absolutely sincere. Each one of us to-day may regret the fact that the advent of Christianity was the first occasion on which spiritual terror was introduced into the much freer ancient world, but the fact cannot be denied that ever since then, the world has been pervaded and dominated by this kind of coercion and that violence is broken only by violence and terrorism by terrorism. Only then can a new regime be created by means of constructive work. M
Political parties are prone to make compromises, but a<i>Weltanschauung</i>never does this. A political party even reckons with opponents, but a<i>Weltanschauung</i>proclaims its own infallibility. In the beginning, political parties have nearly always the intention of securing exclusive and despotic domination for themselves. They always show a slight tendency to become<i>Weltanschauungen</i>, but the limited nature of their programme is in itself enough to rob them of that heroic spirit which a<i>Weltanschauung</M
i>demands. The spirit of conciliation, which animates their will, attracts those petty and chicken-hearted people who are not fit to take part in any crusade. That is the reason why they mostly become stuck in their miserable pettiness very early on the march.</p><blockquote><p>513</p></blockquote><p>They give up fighting for their ideology and, by way of what they call
positive collaboration,
they try as quickly as possible to wedge themselves into some tiny place at the trough of the existent regime and to M
stick there as long as possible. Their whole effort ends at that, and if they should get shouldered away from the common manger by competitors with more brutal manners, then their only idea is to force themselves in again, by force or chicanery, among the herd of all the others who have similar appetites, to get back into the front row, and finally
even at the expense of their most sacred convictions
to regale themselves anew at that beloved spot where they find their fodder. They are the jackals of politics. AM
<i>Weltanschauung</i>will never of itself willingly give ground to another. Therefore it can never agree to collaborate in any order of things that it condemns. On the contrary, it feels obliged to employ every available means in the fight against the old order and the whole world of ideas belonging to that order and to prepare the way for its destruction. These purely destructive tactics, the danger of which is so readily perceived by the enemy that he forms a united front against them for his common defence, and M
also the constructive tactics, which must be aggressive in order to carry the new world of ideas to success
both these phases of the struggle call for a body of resolute fighters. Any new<i>Weltanschauung</i>will be successful in establishing its ideas only if the most courageous and active elements of its epoch and its people are enrolled under its standards and grouped firmly together in a powerful fighting organisation. To achieve this purpose it is absolutely necessary to select from the general ideology a ceM
rtain number of ideas which will appeal to such individuals, and which, once they are expressed in a precise and clear-cut form, will serve as articles of faith for a new association of men. While the programme of the ordinary political party is nothing but the recipe for achieving favourable results at the next general election, the programme of a<i>Weltanschauung</i>represents a declaration of war against an existing order of things, against present conditions, in short, against the established<i>Weltanschauung</M
i>.</p><blockquote><p>514</p></blockquote><p>It is not necessary, however, that every individual fighter for such a new doctrine need have a full grasp of the ultimate ideas and plans of those who are the leaders of the movement. It is only necessary that each should have a clear notion of the fundamental ideas and that he should thoroughly assimilated a few of the most fundamental principles, so that he will be convinced of the necessity of carrying the movement and its doctrines to success. The individual soldierM
is not initiated into the secrets of high strategical plans, but he is trained to submit to a rigid discipline, to be passionately convinced of the justice and inner might of his cause and to devote himself to it without reserve. So, too, the individual follower of a movement must be made acquainted with its far-reaching purpose, and realise that it is inspired by a powerful will and that it has a great future before it. Supposing that each soldier in an army were a general, if only as regards his training and capM
acity, that army would not be an efficient fighting instrument. Similarly, a political movement would not be very efficient in fighting for a<i>Weltanschauung</i>if it were made up exclusively of intellectuals. We need the private soldier too. Without him no discipline can be established. By its very nature, an organisation can exist only if leaders of high intellectual ability are served by a large mass of men who are emotionally devoted to the cause. To maintain discipline in a company of two hundred men who are M
equally intelligent and capable would turn out more difficult in the, long run than to maintain discipline in a company of one hundred and ninety less gifted men and ten who have had a higher education. The Social Democrats have profited by recognising this truth. They took the broad masses of our people who had just completed military service and learned to submit to discipline, and they subjected this mass of men to the discipline of the Social Democratic organisation, which was no less rigid than the discipline M
through which the young men had passed in the course of their military training.</p><blockquote><p>515</p></blockquote><p>The Social Democratic organisation consisted of an army divided into officers and men. The German worker who had completed his military service became the private soldier in that army, and the Jewish intelligentsia were its officers. The German trade-union functionaries may be compared to its noncommissioned officers. The fact, which was always looked upon with dismay by our middle classes, thatM
only the so-called uneducated classes joined the Marxists was the very ground on which this party achieved its success. For while the bourgeois parties
because they consisted mostly of intellectuals, were only a feckless band of undisciplined individuals
the Marxist leaders have formed out of much less intelligent human material an army of party combatants who obey their Jewish masters just as blindly as they formerly obeyed their German officers. The German middle classes, who never bothered their heads aboutM
psychological problems, because they felt themselves superior to such matters, did not think it necessary to reflect on the profound significance of this fact and the hidden danger involved in it. Indeed, they believed that a political movement which draws its followers exclusively from intellectual circles must, for that very reason, be of greater importance and have better chances of success, and even a better chance of taking over the government of the country than a party made up of the ignorant masses. They cM
ompletely failed to realise the fact that the strength of a political party never consists in the intelligence and independent spirit of the rank and file of its members, but rather in the spirit of willing obedience with which they follow their intellectual leaders. What is of decisive importance is the leadership itself. When two bodies of troops are arrayed in mortal combat, victory will not fall to that side in which every soldier has an expert knowledge of the rules of strategy, but rather to that side which hM
as the best leaders and, at the same time, the best disciplined, most blindly obedient and best drilled troops. That is a fundamental fact which we must always bear in mind when we examine the possibility of transforming a<i>Weltanschauung</i>into a practical reality.</p><blockquote><p>516</p></blockquote><p>If we agree that in order to carry a<i>Weltanschauung</i>into practical effect it must be incorporated in a fighting movement, then the logical consequence is that the programme of such a movement must take accM
ount of the human material at its disposal. Just as the ultimate aims and fundamental principles must be made absolutely definite and intelligible, so the propaganda programme must be well drawn up and must be inspired by a keen sense of its psychological appeal to the minds of those without whose help the noblest ideals will be doomed to remain forever in the realm of visions. If the idea of the<i>v
lkisch</i>State, which is at present an obscure ideal, is one day to attain a clear and definite success, from its M
vague and vast mass of thought it will have to put forward certain definite principles which of their very nature and content are calculated to attract a broad mass of adherents. In other words, such a group of people as can guarantee that these principles will be fought for. That group of people is the German working-class. That is why the programme of the new Movement was condensed into a few fundamental postulates, twenty-five in all. They are meant first of all to give the ordinary man a rough idea of what the M
Movement is aiming at. They are, so to speak, a profession of faith which, on the one hand, is meant to win adherents for the Movement and, on the other, they are meant to unite such adherents together in a covenant to which all have subscribed. In this connection we must never lose sight of the following fact: What we call the programme of the Movement is absolutely right as far as its ultimate aims are concerned, but as regards the manner in which that programme is formulated certain psychological considerations M
had to be taken into account. Hence, in the course of time, the opinion may well arise that certain principles should be expressed differently and might be better formulated, but any attempt at a different formulation has a fatal effect in most cases, for something that ought to be fixed and unshakable thereby becomes the subject of discussion. As soon as one single point is removed from the sphere of dogmatic certainly, the discussion will not simply result in a new and better formulation which will have greater cM
onsistency, but may easily lead to endless debates and general confusion.</p><blockquote><p>517</p></blockquote><p>In such cases, the question must always be carefully considered as to whether a new and more adequate formulation is to be preferred, though it may cause a controversy within the Movement, or whether it may not be better to retain the old formula which, though probably not the best, represents an organism enclosed in itself, solid and internally homogeneous. Every test shows that the second of these alM
ternatives is preferable, for, since in these changes one is dealing only with external forms, such corrections will always appear desirable and possible, but the deciding factor is that people in general think superficially, and therefore the great danger is that in what is merely an external formulation of the programme people will see an essential aim of the movement. In that way the will and the combative force at the service of the ideal are weakened and the energies that ought to be directed towards the outerM
world are dissipated in programmatic discussions within the ranks of the Movement. For a doctrine that is actually right in its main features it is less dangerous to retain a formulation which may no longer be quite adequate, instead of trying to improve it and thereby allowing a fundamental principle of the Movement, which had hitherto been considered as solid as granite, to become the subject of a general discussion which may have unfortunate consequences. This is particularly to be avoided as long as a MovementM
is still fighting for victory, for would it be possible to inspire people with blind faith in the truth of a doctrine if doubt and uncertainty are encouraged by continual alterations in its external formulation? The essentials of a doctrine must never be looked for in its external formulas, but always in its inner meaning, and this is unchangeable. One could only wish that for the sake of this inner meaning a movement could exclude everything that tends towards disintegration and uncertainty in order to preserve tM
he unified force that is necessary for its triumph. Here again the Catholic Church has a lesson to teach us. Though sometimes, and often quite unnecessarily, its dogmatic system is in conflict with the exact sciences and with scientific discoveries, it is not disposed to sacrifice one syllable of its teachings.</p><blockquote><p>518</p></blockquote><p>It has rightly recognised that its powers of resistance would be weakened by introducing greater or lesser doctrinal adaptations to cope with temporary scientific disM
coveries, which are in reality always vacillating, but that they gain strength from the fact that it holds fast to its fixed and established dogmas which alone can give to the whole system the character of a faith. That is the reason why it stands firmer to-day than ever before. We may prophesy that, as a fixed star amid fleeting phenomena, it will continue to attract increasing numbers of people who will be the more blindly attached to it the more rapid the rhythm of changing phenomena around it. Therefore, whoeveM
r really and seriously desires that the<i>v
lkisch Weltanschauung</i>should triumph must realise that this triumph can be assured only through a militant movement and that this movement must found its strength only on the granite firmness of an impregnable and well-defined programme. In regard to its formulas it must never make concessions to the spirit of the time, but must maintain the form that has once and for all been decided upon as the right one
in any case, until victory has crowned its efforts. Before tM
his goal has been reached any attempt to open a discussion on the appropriateness of this or that point, in the programme might tend to disintegrate the solidarity and fighting strength of the movement, according to the measure in which its followers might take part in such an internal dispute. Some
introduced to-day might be subjected to a critical examination to-morrow, in order to substitute for it something better the day after. Once the barrier has been broken down, the way is opened and we kM
now only the beginning, but we do not know to what shoreless sea it may lead. This important principle had to be acknowledged in practice by the members of the National Socialist Movement from the outset. In its programme of twenty-five points the National Socialist German Labour Party has been furnished with a basis that must remain unshakable. The members of the Movement, both present and future, must never feel themselves called upon to undertake a critical revision of these postulates, but rather feel themselveM
s obliged to put them into practice as they stand.</p><blockquote><p>519</p></blockquote><p>Otherwise, the next generation would, in its turn, and with an equal right, expend its energy in such purely formal work within the Party, instead of winning new adherents for the Movement and thus adding to its power. For the majority of our followers the essence of the Movement will consist not so much in the letter of our theses as in the meaning that we attribute to them. The new Movement owes its name to these consideraM
tions, and later on its programme was drawn up in conformity with them. They are the basis of our propaganda. In order to carry the<i>v
lkisch</i>ideal to victory, a popular party had to be founded, a party that did not consist of intellectual leaders only, but also of manual labourers. Any attempt to carry these theories into effect without the aid of a militant organisation would be doomed to failure to-day, as it has failed in the past and must fail in the future. That is why it is not only the right, but also M
the duty, of the Movement to consider itself as the champion and representative of these ideas. Just as the fundamental principles of the National Socialist Movement are based on the<i>v
lkisch</i>ideas are National Socialist. If National Socialism would triumph it will have to hold firm to this fact unreservedly, and here again it is not only its right, but also its duty, to emphasise most rigidly that any attempt to represent the<i>v
lkisch</i>idea outside of the National Socialist German LM
abour Party is futile and, in most cases, even fraudulent. If the reproach should be raised against our Movement that it has
lkisch</i>idea, there is only one answer to give. Not only have we monopolised the<i>v
lkisch</i>idea but, to all practical intents and purposes, we have created it, for what hitherto existed under this name was not in the least capable of influencing the destiny of our people, since all those ideas lacked a political and coherent formulation. In most cases, they wM
ere nothing but isolated and incoherent notions which were more or less right. Quite frequently these were in open contradiction to one another and in no case was there any internal cohesion among them.</p><blockquote><p>520</p></blockquote><p>Even if this internal cohesion existed it would have been much too weak to form the basis of any movement. Only the National Socialist Movement proved capable of fulfilling this task. All kinds of associations and groups, big as well as small, now claim the title<i>v
/i>. This is one result of the work which National Socialism has done. Without this work, not one of all these parties would have thought of adopting the word<i>v
lkisch</i>at all. That expression would have meant nothing to them and especially their leaders would have had nothing to do with such an idea. Not until the work of the National Socialist German Labour Party had given this idea a pregnant meaning did it appear in the mouths of all kinds of people. Above all, our Party has, by the success of its propaganM
da, shown the force of the<i>v
so much so that the others, in an effort to gain proselytes, find themselves forced to copy our example, at least in words. Just as heretofore they exploited everything to serve their petty electoral purposes, to-day they use the word<i>v
lkisch</i>only as an external and hollowsounding phrase for the purpose of counteracting the force of the impression which the National Socialist Party makes on the members of the other parties. Only the desire to maintain their exM
istence and the fear that our Movement may prevail, because it is based on a<i>Weltanschauung</i>that is of universal importance, and because they feel that the exclusive character of our movement betokens danger for them only for these reasons do they use words which they repudiated eight years ago, derided seven years ago, branded as stupid six years ago, combated five years ago, hated four years ago, derided three years ago and finally, two years ago, annexed and incorporated in their present political vocabularM
y, employing them as slogans in their struggle. For this reason, it is necessary even now, not to cease to call attention to the fact that not one of those parties has the slightest idea of what the German nation needs. The most striking proof of this is provided by the superficial way in which they use the word<i>v
lkisch</i>. Not less dangerous are those who run about as pseudo-adherents of the<i>v
lkisch</i>ideal formulating fantastic schemes which are mostly based on nothing else than a fixed idea which, in iM
tself, might be right.</p><blockquote><p>521</p></blockquote><p>But because it is an isolated notion, is of no use whatsoever for the formation of a great homogeneous fighting association and could by no means serve as the basis of its organisation. Those people who concoct a programme which consists partly of their own ideas and partly of ideas filched from others, about which they have read somewhere, are often more dangerous than the outspoken enemies of the<i>v
lkisch</i>idea. At best they are sterile theoristM
s, but more frequently they are mischievous agitators. They believe that they can mask their intellectual vanity, the futility of their efforts and their lack of ability, by sporting flowing beards and indulging in ancient Germanic gestures. In the face of all these futile attempts, it is, therefore, worth while to recall the time when the new National Socialist Movement began its fight.</p><blockquote><p>522</p></blockquote><blockquote><p>523</p></blockquote><blockquote><p>524</p></blockquote><h1 id="chapter-vi-thM
e-first-phase-of-our-strugglethe-significance-of-the-spoken-word">CHAPTER VI: THE FIRST PHASE OF OUR STRUGGLE
THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE SPOKEN WORD</h1><p>The echoes of our first great meeting, in the<i>Festsaal</i>of the Hofbr
uhaus on February 24th, 1920, had not yet died away when we began preparations for our next meeting. Up to that time we had had to consider carefully the advisability of holding a small meeting every month, or at most every fortnight, in a city like Munich; but now it was decided that we shM
ould hold a mass meeting every week. I need not say that on each occasion we anxiously asked ourselves again and again: Will the people come and will they listen? Personally, I was firmly convinced that if once they came they would remain to listen. During that period the hall of the Hofbr
uhaus in Munich acquired for us National Socialists a sort of mystic significance. Every week there was a meeting, almost always in that hall, and each time the hall was better filled than on the former occasion, and our public M
more attentive. Starting with the theme,
Responsibility for the War,
about which nobody cared at that time, and passing on to the discussion of the peace treaties, we dealt with almost everything that served to stimulate the minds of our hearers and make them interested in our ideas. We drew attention to the peace treaties. What the new Movement prophesied again and again before those great masses of people has been fulfilled in almost every detail. To-day it is easy to talk and write about these things, but M
in those days, to criticise the Peace Treaty of Versailles at a public mass meeting attended not by the small bourgeoisie, but by proletarians who had been worked up by agitators, amounted to an attack on the Republic and an evidence of reactionary, if not of monarchist, tendencies.</p><blockquote><p>525</p></blockquote><p>The moment one uttered the first criticism of the Versailles Treaty one could expect an immediate reply, which became almost stereotyped,
And what about Brest Litovsk?
And then the crowd would murmur and the murmur would gradually swell to a roar, until the speaker would have to give up his attempt to persuade them. We felt that we were knocking our heads against a brick wall, so thoroughly did we despair of such a public. They neither wanted to be told nor to admit that Versailles was a scandal and a disgrace and that the dictate signified an act of highway robbery against our people. The disruptive work done by the Marxists and the poisonous propaganda of the enemy had robbed tM
hese people of their reason. Nor had we the right to complain, for the guilt on the German side was enormous. What had the German bourgeoisie done to call a halt to this terrible campaign of disintegration, to oppose it and open a way to a recognition of the truth by giving, a better and more thorough explanation of the situation than that given by the Marxists? Nothing at all. At that time I never saw those who are now the great apostles of the people. Perhaps they spoke to select groups, at tea-parties of their oM
wn little coteries, but where they ought to have been, where the wolves were at work, they never dared to appear, unless they found an opportunity of yelling in concert with the wolves. As for myself, I then saw clearly that for the small group which first composed our Movement the question of war-guilt had to be cleared up, and cleared up in the light of historical truth. A preliminary condition for the future success of our Movement was that it should bring knowledge of the meaning of the peace treaties to the miM
nds of the masses. In the opinion of the masses, the peace treaties then signified a democratic success. Therefore, it was necessary to take the opposite side and impress ourselves on the minds of the people as the enemies of the peace treaties, so that later on, when the naked truth of this despicable swindle should be disclosed in all its hideousness, the people would recall the attitude which we then took up and would give us their confidence. Even at that time I adopted the attitude that if public opinion went M
astray on important and fundamental questions, it was necessary to oppose it, regardless of popularity, hatred or the bitterness of the fight.</p><blockquote><p>526</p></blockquote><p>The National Socialist German Labour Party ought not to be the servant, but rather the master, of public opinion. It must not serve the masses, but dominate them. In the case of every movement, especially during its struggling stages, there is naturally a temptation to conform to the tactics of an opponent and use the same battle crieM
s, when his tactics have succeeded in leading the people to crazy conclusions, or to adopt a mistaken attitude towards the questions at issue. This temptation is particularly strong when motives can be found, though they are entirely illusory, that seem to point towards the same ends at which the young movement is aiming. Human poltroonery will then all the more readily adopt those arguments which give it a semblance of justification,
from its own point of view,
for participating in the criminal policy which M
the adversary is following. On several occasions, I have experienced such crises, in which the greatest energy had to be employed to prevent the ship of our Movement from being drawn into a general current which had been started artificially, and indeed from sailing with it. The last occasion was when our accursed press, to which the existence of the German nation is unimportant, succeeded in bringing into prominence the question of South Tyrol which is bound to prove fatal to the interests of the German people. WiM
thout considering what interests they were serving several so-called
men, parties and leagues, joined in the general cry, simply for fear of public opinion which had been excited by the Jews, and foolishly contributed to help in the struggle against a system which we Germans ought, particularly in these days, to consider as the one ray of light in this distracted world. While the international Jew is slowly but surely strangling us, our so-called patriots vociferate against a man and his system whichM
have had the courage to liberate themselves from the shackles of Jewish freemasonry, at least in one quarter of the globe, and to set the forces of national resistance against the international world poison.</p><blockquote><p>527</p></blockquote><p>But weak characters were tempted to set their sails according to the direction of the wind and to capitulate before the storm of public opinion
for it was truly a capitulation. Even if people are so much in the habit of lying and so morally base that they do not admitM
it even to themselves, the truth remains that only cowardice and fear of the public feeling aroused by the Jews induced certain people to join in the hue and cry. All the other reasons put forward were only the miserable excuses of paltry culprits who were conscious of their own crime. Then it was necessary to grasp the rudder with an iron hand and turn the Movement about, so as to save it from a course that would have set it on the rocks. Certainly, to attempt such a change of course was not a popular manoeuvre aM
t that time, when public opinion had been fanned by every conceivable means and its trend was in one direction only. Such a decision almost always brings disaster on those who dare to take it. In the course of history not a few men have been stoned for an act for which posterity has afterwards had reason to thank them on its knees. But a movement must count on posterity and not on the plaudits of the moment. It may well be that at such times certain individuals have to endure hours of anguish, but they should not fM
orget that the moment of liberation will come and that a movement which purposes to reshape the world must serve the future and not the passing hour. In this connection it may be asserted that the greatest and most enduring successes in history are mostly those which were least understood at the beginning, because they were in direct opposition to public opinion and the views and wishes of the time. We had experience of this when we made our own first public appearance. It can be said in all truth that we did not cM
ourt public favour, but made an onslaught on the follies of our people. In those days what happened almost always was that I presented myself before an assembly of men who believed the opposite of what I wished to say and who wanted the opposite of what I believed in.</p><blockquote><p>528</p></blockquote><p>Then I had to spend a couple of hours in convincing two or three thousand people that the opinions they had hitherto held were false, in destroying the foundations of their views with one blow after another andM
finally in persuading them to take their stand on the grounds of our own convictions and our<i>Weltanschauung</i>. I learned something that was important at that time, namely, to snatch from the hands of the enemy the weapons which he was using in his reply. I soon noticed that our adversaries, especially in the persons of those who led the discussion against us, were furnished with a definite repertoire of arguments out of which they took points against bur claims which they were constantly repeating. The uniformM
character of this mode of procedure pointed to a systematic and uniform training and so we were able to recognise the incredible way in which the enemy
s propagandists had been disciplined and I am proud to-day that I discovered a means not only of making this propaganda ineffective, but of beating the authors of it at their own game. Two years later I was master of this art. In every speech which I made it was important to get a clear idea beforehand of the probable form and matter of the counter-arguments we hM
ad to expect in the discussion, so that in the course of my own speech these could be dealt with and refuted. To this end it was necessary to mention all the possible objections and show their inconsistency; it was all the easier to win over an honest listener by expunging from his memory the arguments which had been impressed upon it, so that, I anticipated his replies. What he had learned was refuted without having been mentioned by him and that made him all the more attentive to what I had to say. That was the rM
eason why, after my first lecture on
The Peace Treaty of Versailles,
which I delivered to the troops while I was still a political instructor in my regiment, I made an alteration in the title and subject and henceforth spoke on,
The Treaties of Brest-Litovsk and Versailles.
I did so because, during the discussion which followed my first lecture, I quickly ascertained that in reality people knew nothing about the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk and that able party propaganda had succeeded in presenting that treaM
ty as one of the most scandalous acts of violence in the history of the world.</p><blockquote><p>529</p></blockquote><p>As a result of the persistency with which this falsehood was repeated again and again to the masses of the people, millions of Germans saw in the Treaty of Versailles a just retribution for the crime we had committed at Brest-Litovsk. Thus they considered all opposition to Versailles as unjust and in many cases there was an honest moral dislike of such a proceeding. This was also the reason why thM
e shameless and monstrous word
came into common use in Germany. This hypocritical falsehood appeared to millions of our exasperated fellow-countrymen as the merit of a higher justice. It is a terrible thought, but the fact was so. The best proof of this was the propaganda which I initiated against Versailles by explaining the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk. I compared the two treaties, point by point, and showed how in truth the one treaty was immensely humane, in contradiction to the inhuman barbarity oM
f the other. The effect was very striking. When I used to speak on this theme before an assembly of two thousand persons, I often saw three thousand six hundred hostile eyes fixed on me, yet three hours later I had in front of me a crowd swayed by righteous indignation and fury. A great lie had been uprooted from the hearts and brains of thousands of individuals and a truth had been implanted in its place. The two lectures that
On the Causes of the World War
The Peace Treaties of Brest-LitM
, I then considered as the most important, of all. Therefore, I repeated them dozens of times, always giving them a new intonation, until, on those points at least, there reigned a definitely clear and unanimous opinion among those from whom our Movement recruited its first members. Furthermore, these gatherings, had for me the advantage that I slowly became a platform orator at mass meetings, and they gave me practice in the pathos and gesture required in large halls that held thousands of peM
ople. Apart from the small circles already mentioned, I could not discover that the slightest effort was being made by any party to explain things to the people in this way.</p><blockquote><p>530</p></blockquote><p>Not one of those parties was then active which talk to-day as if it were they who had brought about the change in public opinion. If a political leader, calling himself a nationalist, pronounced a discourse somewhere or other on this theme it was only to circles which were, for the most part already of hM
is own conviction and among whom the most that was done was to confirm them in their opinions. But that was not what was needed then. What was needed was to win over through propaganda and explanation those who, by education and conviction, belonged to the enemy camp. The one-page circular was also adopted by us to help in this propaganda. While still a soldier I had written a circular in which I contrasted the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk with that of Versailles. That circular was printed and distributed in large numbeM
rs. Later on I used it for the Party, and also with good success. Our first meetings were distinguished by the fact that there were tables covered with leaflets, papers, and pamphlets of every kind, but we relied principally on the spoken word. And, indeed this is the only means capable of producing really great revolutions, which fact can be explained on general psychological grounds. In the first volume I have already stated that all the formidable events which have changed the aspect of the world were carried thM
rough, not by the written, but by the spoken word. On that point there was a long discussion in a certain section of the press, during the course of which our shrewd bourgeois people strongly opposed my thesis, but the reason for this attitude confounded the sceptics. The bourgeois intelligentsia protested against my attitude simply because they themselves did not have either the force or the ability to influence the masses through the spoken word, for they always relied exclusively on the help of writers and did nM
ot enter the arena themselves as orators for the purpose of arousing the people. This habit necessarily led to that condition of affairs which is characteristic of the bourgeoisie to-day, namely, the loss of the psychological instinct to work up and influence the masses.</p><blockquote><p>531</p></blockquote><p>An orator receives continuous guidance from the people whom he is addressing. This helps him to correct the trend of his speech, for he can always gauge, by the faces of his hearers, how far they follow and M
understand him, and whether his words are producing the desired effect. The writer, on the other hand, does not know his reader at all. Therefore, from the outset, he does not address himself to a definite group of persons which he has before him, but must write in a general way. Hence, to a certain extent he must fail in psychological finesse and flexibility. Therefore, in general it may be said that a brilliant orator writes better than a brilliant writer can speak, unless the latter has continual practice in pubM
lic speaking. One must also remember that of itself the multitude is mentally inert. It clings to its old habits and is not naturally prone to read something which does not conform to its own pre-established beliefs or does not contain what it hopes to find there. Therefore, a piece of writing which has a particular tendency is for the most part read only by those who are in sympathy with it. Only a leaflet or a placard, on account of its brevity can hope to arouse a momentary interest in those whose opinions diffeM
r from it. The picture, in all its forms, including the film has better prospects. Here less intelligence is required on the part of the audience, it need only gaze, or at most read short captions or titles, and so it comes about that many people are more ready to accept a pictorial presentation than to read a long written description. A pictorial representation will convey to people much more quickly (one might almost say, immediately) an idea, to grasp which would require long and arduous effort if they were forcM
ed to read about it. The most important consideration, however, is that one never knows into what hands a piece of written material may fall and yet the form in which its subject is presented must remain the same. In general, the effect is greater when the form of treatment corresponds to the mental level of the reader and suits his nature. Therefore, a book which is meant for the broad masses of the people must try from the very start to gain its effects through a style and level of ideas which would be quite diffM
erent from those of a book intended to be read by the higher intellectual classes.</p><blockquote><p>532</p></blockquote><p>Only through this capacity for adaptability does the force of the written word approach that of direct speech. The orator may deal with the same subject as a book deals with, but if he has the genius of a great and popular orator he will scarcely ever repeat the same argument or the same material in the same form on two consecutive occasions. He will always follow the lead of the great masses M
in such a way that from the living emotion of his hearers the apt word which he needs will be suggested to him and in its turn this will go straight to the hearts of his hearers. Should he make even a slight mistake he has the living correction before him. As I have already said, he can read the play of expression on the faces of his hearers, firstly to see if they understand what he says, secondly, to see if they take in the whole of his argument and, thirdly, to see in how far he has succeeded in convincing them M
of the justice of what he has, said. Should he observe, firstly, that his hearers do not understand him, he will make his explanation so elementary and clear that they will be able to grasp it, even to the last individual. Secondly, if he feels that they are not capable of following him he will make one idea follow another carefully and slowly until the most slow-witted hearer no, longer lags behind. Thirdly, as soon as he has the feeling that they do not seem convinced that he is right in the way he has put thingsM
to them he will repeat his argument over and over again, always giving fresh illustrations and he himself will state their unspoken objection. He will repeat these objections, dissecting them and refuting them, until the last group of the opposition shows him by its behaviour and play of expression that it has capitulated before his exposition of the case. Not infrequently it is a case of overcoming ingrained prejudices which are mostly unconscious and founded on sentiment rather than on reason. It is a thousand tM
imes more difficult to overcome, this barrier of instinctive aversion, emotional hatred and prejudice than to correct opinions which are founded on defective or erroneous knowledge. False ideas and ignorance may be set aside by means of instruction, but emotional resistance never can.</p><blockquote><p>533</p></blockquote><p>Nothing but an appeal to these hidden forces will be effective here, and that appeal, can be made by scarcely any writer. Only the orator can hope to make it. A very striking proof of this is fM
ound in the fact that, though we had a bourgeois press which, in many cases, was well written and produced and had a circulation of millions of copies, it could not prevent the broad masses from becoming the implacable enemies of the bourgeois class. The deluge of papers and books published by intellectual circles year after year passed over the minds of millions of the lower social strata as water runs off a duck
s back. This proves that one of two things must be true: either that the matter offered in the bourgM
eois press was worthless or that it is impossible to reach the hearts of the broad masses by means of the written word alone. Of course, the latter is essentially true when the written material betrays as little psychological insight as hitherto. It is useless to object here, as certain big Berlin papers of German Nationalist tendencies have attempted to do, that this statement is refuted by the fact that the Marxists have exercised their greatest influence through their writings and especially through their princiM
pal book, published by Karl Marx. Seldom has a more superficial attempt been made to support an argument based on a false assumption. What gave Marxism its amazing influence over the broad masses was not that formal printed work which sets forth the Jewish system of ideas, but the tremendous oral propaganda carried on for years among the masses. Out of one hundred thousand German workers scarcely one hundred know Marx
s book. It has been studied much more in intellectual circles and especially by the Jews than byM
the genuine followers of the movement who come from the lower classes. That work was not written for the masses, but exclusively for the intellects behind the Jewish machine for conquering the world. The engine was heated with quite different fuel, namely, the press. What differentiates the bourgeois press from the Marxist press is that the latter is written by agitators, whereas the bourgeois press would like to carry on agitation by means of professional writers.</p><blockquote><p>534</p></blockquote><p>The SociM
al Democratic editor of some local
, who almost always comes directly from the meeting to the editorial offices of his paper, knows his job to his finger-tips, but the bourgeois scribbler who wishes to appeal to the broad masses, feels faint if their stench but reach his delicate nostrils and so he is naturally powerless to touch them by his writings. What won over millions of work-people to the Marxist cause was not the<i>ex cathedra</i>style of the Marxist writers, but the strenuous propaganda work done M
by tens of thousands of indefatigable agitators, from the ardent agitator down to the insignificant trade-union official, the trusty employee and the heckler. Furthermore, there were the hundreds of thousands of meetings where these orators, standing on tables in smoky public houses, hammered their ideas into the heads of the masses, thus acquiring an admirable psychological knowledge of the human material they had to deal with, and in this way they were enabled to select the best weapons for their assault on the cM
itadel of public opinion. In addition to all this there were the gigantic mass-demonstrations with processions in which a hundred thousand persons took part. All this was calculated to give the petty-hearted individual the proud conviction that, though a poor worm he was at the same time an integral part of the great dragon before whose devastating breath the hated bourgeois world would one day be consumed in fire and flame, and the dictatorship of the proletariat would celebrate its final victory. This kind of proM
paganda influenced men in such a way as to give them a taste for reading the Social Democratic press and prepare their minds for its teaching. That press, in its turn, was a vehicle of the spoken, rather than of the written, word. Whereas in the bourgeois camp professors and learned writers, theorists and authors of, all kinds, made attempts at speaking, in the Marxist camp real speakers often made attempts at writing. This applies especially to the Jew who, on account of his dialectical skill and cunning in distorM
ting the truth, assumes even as an author rather the guise of an eloquent agitator than of a creative writer.</p><blockquote><p>535</p></blockquote><p>For this reason the bourgeois press (quite apart from the fact that it is dominated by the Jew and has, therefore, no interest in enlightening the broad masses) is not capable of exercising the slightest influence on the opinions held by the great masses of our people. It is difficult to eradicate emotional prejudices, psychological bias, feelings, etc., and to put oM
thers in their place. Success depends here on conditions and influences which cannot be gauged. Only the orator who is gifted with the most sensitive insight can estimate all this. Even the time of day at which the speech is delivered has a decisive influence on its effectiveness. The same speech, made by the same orator and on the same theme, will have very different results according as it is delivered at ten o
clock in the forenoon, at three in the afternoon, or in the evening. When I first engaged in public sM
peaking I arranged for meetings to take place in the forenoon and I remember particularly a demonstration that we held in the M
nchner-Kindl-Keller as a protest against the oppression of German minorities. That was the biggest hall then in Munich and the risk appeared very great. In order to make the hour of the meeting suitable for all the members of our Movement and the other people who might come, I fixed it for ten o
clock on a Sunday morning. The result was depressing, but it was very instructive. The hall M
was filled. The impression was profound, but the general atmosphere was chilly. Nobody got warmed up and I myself, as the speaker of the occasion, felt profoundly unhappy at the thought that I could not establish the slightest contact with my audience. I do not think I spoke worse than on other occasions, but the effect seemed absolutely negative. I left the hall in a very depressed frame of mind, but also feeling that I had gained a new experience. Later on I tried the same kind of experiment, but always with the M
same results. That was not to be wondered at. If one goes to a theatre to see a matinee performance and, then attends an evening performance of the same play, one is astounded at the difference in the impression created. A sensitive person and one who is capable of analysing his own reactions, will readily acknowledge that the impression created by the matinee performance is by no means as vivid as that gained at the evening performance.</p><blockquote><p>536</p></blockquote><p>The same is true of cinema productionM
s. This latter point is important; for one may say of the theatre that perhaps in the afternoon the actor does not make the same effort as in the evening, but surely it cannot be said that the cinema is different in the afternoon from what it is at nine o
clock in the evening. In this case, the time of day exercises a distinct influence, just as a room exercises a distinct influence on me. There are rooms which leave one cold, for reasons which are difficult to explain. There are rooms which steadfastly prevent tM
he creation of an atmosphere of any sort. Moreover, certain memories and traditions which are present as pictures in the human mind may have a determining influence on the impression produced. Thus a performance of Parsifal at Bayreuth will have an effect quite different from that which the same opera produces in any other part of the world. The mysterious charm of the House on the
in the old city of the Margrave can neither be equalled nor conjured up by external surroundings in any other plM
ace. In all these cases one is dealing with the problem of influencing the freedom of the human will, and that is true especially of meetings where there are men whose wills are opposed to the speaker and who must be brought round to a new way of thinking. In the morning and during the day it seems that the rower of the human will rebels most strongly against any attempt to impose upon it the will or opinion of another. On the other hand, in the evening it easily succumbs to the domination of a stronger will, becauM
se actually in such assemblies there is a contest between two opposing forces. The superior oratorical art of a man who has the compelling character of an apostle will succeed better in bringing round to a new way of thinking those who have, in the course of nature, been subjected to a weakening of their forces of resistance rather than in converting those who are in full possession of their volitional and intellectual faculties.</p><blockquote><p>537</p></blockquote><p>The mysterious artificial dimness of the CathM
olic churches, the burning candles, the incense, the thurible, etc. also serve this purpose. In this struggle between the orator and the opponent whom he must convert to his cause, the former gradually acquires an awareness of the psychological fitness of his propaganda weapons, which the writer seldom possesses. Generally speaking, the effect of the writer
s work helps rather to conserve, reinforce and deepen the foundations of opinions already formed. All really great historical revolutions were not produced byM
the written word; at most, they were accompanied by it. It is out of the question to think that the French Revolution could have been carried into effect by philosophising theories had it not been for an army of agitators headed by demagogues of a pronounced type who inflamed popular passion that had been already aroused, until that volcanic eruption finally broke out which convulsed the whole of Europe. The same is true of the greatest revolutionary movement of our own day, namely, the Bolshevist Revolution in RuM
ssia, which was not the outcome of Lenin
s writings, but of the oratorical activities of innumerable agitators, great and small, who stirred up hatred. The masses of illiterate Russians were not fired to communist revolutionary enthusiasm by reading the theories of Karl Marx, but by the promises of paradise made to the people by thousands of agitators in the service of a single idea. It has always been so, and it always will be so. It is typical of our pig-headed intellectuals, who live apart from the practical wM
orld, to think that a writer must of necessity be superior in intelligence to an orator. This point of view was once effectively illustrated by a critique, published in a certain national paper which I have already mentioned, where it was stated that one is often disillusioned by reading the speech of an acknowledged great orator in print. That reminded me of another article which fell into my hands during the War. It dealt with the speeches of Lloyd George, who was then Minister of Munitions, and examined them in M
a painstaking way under the microscope of criticism.</p><blockquote><p>538</p></blockquote><p>The writer made the brilliant statement that these speeches showed inferior intelligence and learning and that, moreover, they were banal and commonplace productions. I happened to get hold of some of these speeches, published in pamphlet form, and had to laugh at the fact that an ordinary German quill-driver did not in the least understand these psychological masterpieces in the art of influencing the masses. This man criM
ticised these speeches solely according to the impression they made on his own arrogant mind, whereas the one aim of the great British demagogue was to produce the maximum effect upon his audiences and, in the widest sense, on the lower classes throughout the length and breadth of, Britain. Looked at from this point of view, that British statesman
s speeches were most wonderful achievements, precisely because they showed an astounding knowledge of the mentality of the broad masses of the people. For that reason tM
heir effect was really overwhelming. Compare with them the futile stammerings of a Bethmann-Hollweg. On the surface the latter
s speeches were undoubtedly more intellectual, but they actually proved the man
s inability to speak to his own people, whom he did not understand. Nevertheless to the stupid average brain of the German writer, who had, of course amassed a great deal of learning, it seemed only natural to judge the speeches of the British statesman
which were made for the purpose of influencing the maM
by the impression which they made on his own mind, fossilised as it was by learning and to compare them to the brilliant but futile talk of the German statesman, which of course had a greater appeal for him. That the genius of Lloyd George was not only equal, but a thousand-fold superior to that of a Bethmann-Hollweg, is proved by the fact that he found for his speeches that form and expression which opened the hearts of his people to him and made that people carry out his will absolutely. The primitive qualM
ity of these speeches, the originality of his expressions, his choice of clear and simple illustration, prove the superior political capacity of the British spokesman.</p><blockquote><p>539</p></blockquote><p>One must never judge the speech of a statesman to his people by the impression which it leaves on the mind of a university professor, but by the effect it produces on the public, and this is the sole criterion of the orator
s genius. The astonishing development of our Movement, which was created out of nothiM
ng a few years ago and is to-day singled out for persecution by all the internal and external enemies of our nation, must be attributed to the constant recognition and practical application of those principles. However important the literature of the Movement may be, it is, nevertheless, at present more important as a means of providing leaders of the upper, as well as of the lower grades, with a uniform course of instruction, than for the purpose of converting antagonistic masses. It was only in very rare cases thM
at a convinced and devoted Social Democrat or Communist was induced to gain an insight into our<i>Weltanschauung</i>or to study a criticism of his own by procuring and reading one of our pamphlets or even one of our books. Even a newspaper is rarely read if it does not bear the stamp of party opinions. Moreover, the reading of newspapers helps little, because the general picture given by a single number of a newspaper is so confused and produces such a fragmentary impression that it really does not influence the ocM
casional reader. Where a man has to count his pennies, it cannot be assumed that, exclusively for the purpose of being objectively informed, he will become a regular reader or subscriber to a paper which opposes his views. Scarcely one man in ten thousand will do this. Only after he has already joined a movement will he regularly read the party organ of that movement, more especially for the purpose of keeping himself informed of what is happening in the movement. It is quite different with the
. Especially if it be distributed gratis it will be taken up by one person or another, all the more willingly if its display title refers to a question about which everybody is talking at the moment. Perhaps someone after having read through such a leaflet more or less carefully, will have his eyes opened to the existence of new points of view, a new mental attitude, and even a new movement.</p><blockquote><p>540</p></blockquote><p>But, at best, this will only serve as a slight impulse and will not establish a firmM
conviction, because the leaflet can do no more than arouse interest and attract attention, and can only be effective if the reader subsequently gains more definite and thorough information, the only road to which is via the mass meeting. Mass meetings are also necessary for the reason that, in attending them, the individual who, about to join the new movement, feels himself alone and is easily scared of acting singularly acquires for the first time the feeling of a great community, which has a strengthening and enM
couraging effect on most people. The same man will, as a member of a company or battalion, surrounded by his companions, march with a lighter heart to the attack than if he had to march alone. In the crowd he feels himself in some way sheltered, though in reality there are a thousand arguments against such a feeling. Mass demonstrations on a grand scale not only reinforce the will of the individual, but they draw him still closer to the movement and help to create an<i>esprit de corps</i>. The man who appears as thM
e first representative of a new doctrine in his place of business or in his factory is bound to have to face obstacles and has need of that strength which comes from the consciousness that he is a member of a great community, and only a mass demonstration can impress upon him the greatness of this community. If, on leaving the shop or mammoth factory, in which he feels very small indeed, he enters a cast assembly for the first time and sees around him thousands upon thousands of men who hold the same opinions;</p><M
ul><li>if, while still seeking his way, he is gripped by the force of mass suggestion which comes from the excitement and enthusiasm of three or four thousand other men in whose midst he finds himself; and</li><li>if the manifest success and the consensus of thousands confirm the truth and justice of the new teaching and for the first time raise in his mind doubt as to the truth of the opinions held by himself up to now, then he submits himself to the fascination of what we call mass suggestion.</li></ul><p>The wilM
l, the yearning and indeed the strength of thousands of people are in each individual. A man who enters such a meeting in doubt and hesitation leaves it inwardly fortified; he has become a member of a community.</p><blockquote><p>541</p></blockquote><p>The National Socialist Movement should never forget this, and it should never allow itself to be influenced by those bourgeois blockhead, who think they know everything, but who have foolishly gambled away a great State, together with their own existence and the suprM
emacy of their own class. They are extraordinarily clever, they can do everything, and they know everything, but there was one thing which they failed to do, namely, to save the German people from falling into the clutches of Marxism. In that they failed miserably and their present high opinion of their prowess is mere conceit, for their pride and their stupidity are fruits of the same tree. If these people try to disparage the importance of the spoken word to-day, they do it only because they realise
how futile all their own speechifying has been.</p><blockquote><p>542</p></blockquote><blockquote><p>543</p></blockquote>h!

<blockquote><p>544</p></blockquote><h1 id="chapter-vii-the-struggle-with-the-reds">CHAPTER VII: THE STRUGGLE WITH THE REDS</h1><p>In 1919
20 and also in 1921 I attended some of the bourgeois meetings. Invariably I had the same feeling towards these as towards the compulsory dose of castor oil in my boyhood days. It had to be taken because it was good for one, but it certainly tasted unpleasant. If it were possible to tie ropes round the German people and forcibly drag them to these bourgeois
ep them there behind barred doors and to allow nobody to escape until the meeting closed, then this procedure might prove successful in the course of a few hundred years. For my own part I must frankly admit that, in such circumstances, I should not find life worth living and indeed I should no longer wish to be a German. But, thank God, all that is impossible, and so it is not surprising that the sane and unspoilt masses shun these
bourgeois mass meetings
as the devil shuns holy water. I came to know the proM
phets of the bourgeois<i>Weltanschauung</i>, and I was not surprised at what I learned, as I knew that they attached little importance to the spoken word. At that time, I attended meetings of the Democrats, the German Nationalists, the German People
s Party and the Bavarian People
s Party (the Centre Party of Bavaria). What struck me at once was the homogeneous uniformity of the audiences. Nearly always they were made up exclusively of party members. The whole affair was more like a yawning card party than an aM
ssembly of people who had just passed through a great revolution. The speakers did all they could to maintain this tranquil atmosphere. They declaimed, or rather read out, their speeches in the style of an intellectual newspaper article or a learned treatise, avoiding all forcible expressions. Here and there a feeble professorial joke would be introduced, whereupon the people sitting at the speaker
s table felt themselves obliged to laugh
not loudly or infectiously, but with well-bred reserve.</p><blockquote><pM
>545</p></blockquote><p>Oh, those people at the speaker
s table! I once attended a meeting in the Wagner Hall in Munich. It was a demonstration to celebrate the anniversary of the Battle of Leipzig. The speech was delivered, or rather read out, by a venerable old professor from one or other of the universities. The committee sat on the platform: one monocle on the right, another monocle on the left, and in the centre a gentleman with no monocle. All three of them were punctiliously attired in morning dress, and IM
had the impression of being present in a court of justice just as the death-sentence was about to be pronounced or at a christening or some more solemn religious ceremony. The so-called speech, which in printed form may have read quite well, had a disastrous effect. After three-quarters of an hour the audience fell into a sort of hypnotic trance, which was interrupted only when some man or woman left the hall, or by the clatter which the waitresses made, or by the increased yawning of members of the audience. I haM
d posted myself behind three workmen who were present either out of curiosity or because they were sent there by their parties. From time to time they glanced at one another with an ill-concealed grin, nudged one another with their elbows and then silently left the hall. One could see that they had no intention whatsoever of interrupting the proceedings, nor indeed was it necessary to do so. At long last the proceedings showed signs of drawing to a close. After the professor, whose voice had meanwhile become more aM
nd more inaudible, had finally ended his speech the gentleman without the monocle delivered a rousing peroration to the assembled
German sisters and brethren.
On behalf of the audience and himself he expressed his thanks for the magnificent lecture which they had just heard from Professor X and emphasised how deeply the Professor
s words had moved them all. If a general discussion on the lecture were to take place it would be tantamount to profanity, and he thought he was voicing the opinion of all present M
in suggesting that such a discussion should not be held. Therefore, he would ask the assembly to rise from their seats and join in singing the patriotic song,<i>Wir Binden Einig Volk von Br
dern</i>.</p><blockquote><p>546</p></blockquote><p>The proceedings finally closed with the singing of the anthem,<i>Deutschland
ber Alles</i>. It appeared to me that when the second verse was reached the voices were fewer and that only when the refrain was reached did they swell louder. When we reached the third verse my suspM
icion that a good many of those present were not very familiar with the text was confirmed. But what does that matter when such a song is sung whole-heartedly and fervidly by an assembly of German Nationalists? After this the meeting broke up and everyone hurried to get outside, one to his glass of beer, one to a cafe, and others simply into the fresh air. Out into the fresh air! That was also my one desire. Was this the way to commemorate a heroic struggle in which hundreds of thousands of Prussians and Germans haM
d fought? No, a thousand times no! That sort of thing might find favour with the Government, it being merely a
meeting. The minister responsible for law and order had no need to fear that enthusiasm might suddenly get the better of public decorum and induce these people to pour out of the room and, instead of dispersing to public houses and caf
s, march four abreast through the town singing<i>Deutschland hoch in Ehren</i>and causing some unpleasantness to a police force in need of sleep. He had reasM
on to be well satisfied with this type of citizen. On the other hand, the National Socialist meetings were by no means
affairs. Two distinct<i>Weltanschauungen</i>raged in bitter opposition to one another, and these meetings did not close with the mechanical rendering of a dull patriotic song, but rather with a passionate outbreak of popular national feeling. It was imperative from the start to introduce rigid discipline into our meetings and establish the authority of the chairman absolutely. Our pM
urpose was not to pour out a mixture of soft-soap bourgeois talk; what we had to say was meant to arouse the opponents at our meetings! How often did they not turn up in large numbers with a few agitators among them ready, judging by the expression on all their faces, to finish us off there and then.</p><blockquote><p>547</p></blockquote><p>How often did they turn up in strength, those supporters of the Red Flag, having been previously instructed to smash up everything once and for all, and put an end to our meetinM
gs. More often than not everything hung in the balance, and only the chairman
s ruthless determination and the rough handling by our hall-guards baffled our adversaries
. They had every reason to be irritated. The fact that we had chosen red as the colour for our posters sufficed to attract them to our meeting. The ordinary bourgeoisie were very shocked to see that we had also chosen the symbolic red of Bolshevism and they regarded this as something ambiguously significant. It was whispered in GerM
man Nationalist circles that we also were merely another variety of Marxists, perhaps even Marxists suitably disguised, or better still, Socialists. The actual difference between Socialism and Marxism still remains a mystery to these people to this day. The charge of Marxism was conclusively proved when it was discovered that at our meetings we deliberately substituted the word
Ladies and Gentlemen
and addressed each other as
We used to roar with laughter at these siM
lly faint-hearted bourgeois and their efforts to puzzle out our origin, our intentions and our aims. We chose red for our posters after careful deliberation, our intention being to irritate the Left, so as to arouse their attention and tempt them to come to our meetings
if only in order to break them up
so that it this way we might have a chance of talking to the people. In those years it was indeed a delightful experience to follow the constantly changing tactics of our perplexed and helpless adversaries. FirsM
t of all, they appealed to their followers to ignore us and keep away from our meetings. Generally speaking, this appeal was heeded. But, as time went on, more and more of their followers gradually found their way to us and accepted our teaching. Then the leaders became nervous and, uneasy.</p><blockquote><p>548</p></blockquote><p>They clung to their belief that such a development should not be ignored forever, and that force must be applied in order to put an end to it. Appeals were then made to the
to attend our meetings in masses and strike with the clenched hand of the proletarian at the representatives of a
monarchist and reactionary agitation.
Our meetings suddenly became packed with work-people fully three-quarters of an hour before the proceedings were scheduled to begin. These gatherings resembled a powder cask ready to explode at any moment, and the fuse was conveniently at hand. But things always turned out differently. People came as enemies and left, not perhaps prepared tM
o join us, yet in a reflective mood and disposed to examine critically the correctness of their own doctrine. Gradually, as time went on, my three-hour lectures resulted in supporters and opponents becoming, united in one single enthusiastic group of people. Every signal for the breaking up of the meeting failed. The result was that the opposition leaders became more frightened and once again looked for help from those quarters that had formerly discountenanced these tactics and, with some show of right, had been oM
f the opinion that on principle the workers should be forbidden to attend our meetings. Thereafter, they did not come any more, or only in small numbers, but after a short time the whole game began again. The instructions to keep away from us were ignored, the comrades came in steadily increasing numbers, until finally the advocates of the radical tactics won the day. We were to be broken up. Yet when, after two, three and even many meetings, it was realised that to break up these gatherings was easier said than doM
ne and that every meeting resulted in a decisive weakening of the Red, fighting forces, the other cry was taken up again,
Proletarians and comrades, avoid the meetings of the National Socialist agitators.
The same eternally alternating tactics were also to be observed in the Red press. At one time they tried to silence us, but discovered the uselessness of such an attempt. After that they swung round to the opposite tactics. Daily
was made to us solely for the purpose of ridiculing us in the eM
yes of the working classes.</p><blockquote><p>549</p></blockquote><p>After a time these gentlemen must have felt that no harm was being done to us, but that, on the contrary, we were reaping an advantage in that people were asking themselves why so much space was being devoted to a subject which was supposed to be so futile. People became curious. Suddenly, there was a change of tactics and for a time we were treated as veritable criminals against mankind. One article followed another, in which our criminal intentiM
ons were explained and fresh proofs brought forward in support of what was said. Scandalous tales, all of them fabricated from start to finish, were published in order to help to poison the public mind, but in a short time even these attacks also proved unavailing and in fact they were of material assistance to us because they attracted public attention to us. In those days I took up the standpoint that it was immaterial whether they laughed at us or reviled us, whether they depicted us as fools or criminals; the iM
mportant point was that they took notice of us and that in the eyes of the working classes we came to be regarded as the only force capable of putting up a fight. I said that we would one day show the rabble that was the Jewish press what we really were and what we were really aiming at. One reason why they never got so far as breaking up our meetings was undoubtedly the incredible cowardice displayed by the leaders of the opposition. On every critical occasion they left the dirty work to the smaller fry whilst theM
y waited outside the halls for the results of the break-up. We were nearly always well-informed of our opponents
intentions, not only because we allowed several of our party colleagues to remain members of the Red organisations for reasons of expediency, but also because the Red wire-pullers, were, most luckily for us, afflicted with a degree of talkativeness that is still unfortunately very prevalent among Germans. They could not keep their own counsel, and more often than not they started cackling before the pM
roverbial egg was laid. Hence, time and again, we were able to take such far-reaching precautionary measures that the
who had been told off to break up our meeting had no inkling that they were about to be ejected.</p><blockquote><p>550</p></blockquote><p>This state of affairs compelled us to take the work of safeguarding our meetings into our own hands. No reliance could be placed on the protection of the authorities, on the contrary, experience showed that it was the disturbing element which gained by M
such intervention. The only real outcome of police intervention was that the meeting would be dissolved, which was precisely what our opponents wanted. Generally speaking, this led the police to adopt a method of procedure which, to say the least of it, was a most infamous example of official malpractice. The moment they received information of a threat that some meeting was to be broken up, instead of arresting the would-be disturbers, they promptly forbade the non-guilty party to hold the meeting, this being a meM
asure which appealed to the average police mentality as the climax of wisdom. This step the police proclaimed to be a
precautionary measure in the interests of law and order.
The political work and activities of decent people could, therefore, always be hindered by any desperate ruffians who had the means at their disposal. In the name of law and order State authority bowed down to these ruffians and demanded that others should not provoke them. When the National Socialists desired to hold meetings in certainM
places and the trade-unions declared that their members would resist, then it was not the blackmailers that were arrested and gaoled. On the contrary, our meetings were forbidden by the police. In fact, the strong arm of the law had the unspeakable impudence to advise us in writing to this effect on innumerable occasions. To avoid such eventualities it was necessary to see to it that every attempt to disturb a meeting was nipped in the bud. Another feature to be taken into account in this respect is that all meetiM
ngs which rely on police protection must necessarily bring discredit to their promoters in the eyes of the general public. Meetings that can be held only with the protective assistance of a strong force of police convert nobody, because in order to win over the lower strata of the people there must be a visible show of strength on one
s own side.</p><blockquote><p>551</p></blockquote><p>In the same way that a man of courage will win a woman
s affection more easily than a coward, so a fearless movement will be mM
ore successful in winning the hearts of a people than a weak movement which relies on police support for its very existence. It is for this latter reason in particular that our young Party had to assume the full responsibility of safeguarding its own existence, defending itself and foiling the terrorist tactics of its opponents. The measures adopted for the protection of our meetings were as follows: Firstly, energetic and judicious conduct of the meeting. Secondly, the organisation of a squad of men to maintain orM
der. In those days, we and no one else were masters of the situation at our meetings, and on no occasion did we fail to emphasise this. Our opponents fully realised that any provocation would be a signal to have them thrown out of the hall at once whatever the odds against us. At meetings, particularly outside Munich, we had in those days from five to eight hundred opponents to fifteen or sixteen National Socialists; yet we brooked no interference for our opponents knew full well that we were prepared to die ratherM
than capitulate. More than once a handful of party members offered a heroic resistance to a raging and violent mob of Reds. Those fifteen or twenty men would certainly have been overwhelmed in the end had not the opponents known that three or four times as many of themselves would first get their skulls cracked, and that risk they were not willing to run. We had done our best to study the Marxist and bourgeois methods of conducting meetings, and we had certainly learnt something. The Marxists had always exercised M
a most rigid discipline so that the question of breaking up their meetings could never have originated in bourgeois quarters. The more, therefore, did the Reds concentrate on these tactics. In time they not only became past masters in this art, but in certain large districts of the Reich they went so far as to declare that non-Marxist meetings were nothing less than a cause of provocation to the proletariat.</p><blockquote><p>552</p></blockquote><p>This was particularly the case when the wire-pullers suspected thatM
a meeting might call attention to their own transgressions and thus expose their own treachery and chicanery. Therefore, the moment such a meeting was announced, a howl of rage went up from the Red press. They, who despised the law on principle, nearly always appealed in the first instance to the authorities and requested in imperative and threatening language that this
provocation of the proletariat
be stopped forthwith in the
interests of law and order.
Their language was chosen according to the impoM
rtance of the official blockhead with whom they were dealing and thus success was assured. If by chance the official happened to be a true German
and not a mere figurehead
and he did not comply with the impudent request, then the well-known appeal to stop
provocation of the proletariat
was issued together with instructions to attend such and such a meeting on a certain date in full strength for the purpose of
putting a stop to the disgraceful machinations of the bourgeoisie by means of the proletarian M
The pitiful and frightened manner in which these bourgeois meetings were conducted had to be seen to be believed. Very frequently these threats were sufficient to make them call off such a meeting at once. The feeling of fear was so marked that the meeting, instead of commencing at eight o
clock, very seldom opened before a quarter to nine or nine o
clock. The chairman thereupon did his best, by showering compliments on the
gentlemen of the opposition
to prove how he and all others present were pM
leased (a palpable lie) to welcome the presence of men who were not as yet in sympathy with them, for the reason that only by mutual discussion (to which he hereby gave his consent) could they be brought closer together in mutual understanding. Apart from this the chairman also assured them that the meeting had no intention whatsoever of interfering with anybody
s professed conviction. Far from it. Everyone had the right to form and hold his own political views, but he should allow others to do likewise.</p><blocM
kquote><p>553</p></blockquote><p>He, therefore, requested that the speaker be allowed to deliver his speech without interruption
the speech in any case not being a long affair
so that this meeting should not provide the world with the spectacle of yet another shameful instance of the bitter fraternal strife raging in Germany. And so on and so forth. The brethren of the Left had little, if any, sympathy with that sort of talk; the speaker had hardly commenced when he was shouted down. One gained the impression aM
t times that these speakers were grateful to the Fate which peremptorily cut short their martyr-like discourse. These bourgeois toreadors left the arena amidst a vast uproar, that is to say, if they escaped being thrown down the stairs with cracked skulls, as was very often the case. Therefore, our methods of organisation at National Socialist meetings were something quite strange to the Marxists. They came to our meetings in the belief that the little game which they had so often played successfully could, as a maM
tter of course, be repeated on us.
To-day we shall finish them off.
How often did they bawl this out to each other on entering the meeting hall, only to be thrown out with lightning speed before they had time to repeat it! In the first place, our method of conducting a meeting was entirely different. We did not crave permission to be allowed to speak, and we did not straightaway give everybody the right to hold endless discussions. We curtly gave everyone to understand that we were masters of the meeting and M
that we could, therefore, do as we pleased and that everyone who dared to interrupt would be unceremoniously thrown out. We stated clearly our refusal to accept responsibility for anyone treated in this manner. If time permitted, and if it suited us, a discussion would take place. Party member so-and-so would now speak. That kind of talk was sufficient in itself to astonish the Marxists. Secondly, we had at our disposal a well-trained and organised body of men for maintaining order at our meetings. On the other hanM
d, the bourgeois parties protected their meetings with a body of men better classified as ushers who, by virtue of their age, thought they were entitled to authority and respect, but as the Marxist-taught mob had no respect either for age or authority, protective measures at the bourgeois meetings were practically non-existent.</p><blockquote><p>554</p></blockquote><p>When our political meetings first started I made it a special point to organise a suitable defensive squad composed, as a matter of principle, solelyM
of young men. Some of them were ex-service men who had seen active service with me. Others were young party members who, right from the start, had been trained to realise that terrorism can be combated only by terrorism, that only courageous and determined people had made a success of things in this world. Finally, they knew that we were fighting for an ideal so lofty that, it was worth the last drop of our blood. These young men had been trained to realise that where force replaced common sense in the solution ofM
a problem, the best means of defence was attack and that the reputation of our hall-guard squads should stamp us as a political fighting force and not as a debating society. It was extraordinary how eagerly those boys of the war-generation responded to this order. They had indeed good reason to be bitterly disappointed and indignant at the miserable milksop methods employed by the bourgeoisie. Thus it became clear to everyone that the Revolution had only been possible thanks to the dastardly methods of a bourgeoisM
government. At that time there was certainly no lack of man-power to suppress the revolution, but unfortunately there was an entire lack of an organising brain. How often did the eyes of my young men light up with enthusiasm when I explained to them the vital functions connected with their task. I assured them time and again that all earthly wisdom is useless unless it be supported and protected by force; that the gentle goddess of Peace can only walk in company with the god of War; and that every great measure peM
rformed in the name of Peace must be protected and furthered by means of force. In this way the idea of military service appeared to them in a far more realistic light
not in the fossilised sense of decrepit officials serving the dead authority of a dead State
but in the living realisation of the duty of each man to sacrifice his life for his country at any given time and in any given place.</p><blockquote><p>555</p></blockquote><p>All honour to those young men for the way in which they performed their duty! LiM
ke a swarm of hornets they tackled disturbers at our meetings, regardless of superiority of numbers, however great, indifferent to wounds and bloodshed, inspired with the great idea of blazing a trail for the sacred mission of our Movement. As early as the summer of 1920 the organisation of squads of men as hall-guards for the purpose of maintaining order at our meetings was gradually assuming definite shape. By the spring of 1921 this body of men was sectioned off into squads of one hundred which, in turn, were suM
bdivided into smaller groups. The urgency for this was apparent, as meanwhile the number of our meetings had steadily increased. We still frequently met in the Munich Hofbr
uhaus, but more frequently in larger meeting halls throughout the city. In the autumn and winter of 1920
21 our meetings in the Burgerbrau and M
nchener-Kindl-Keller had assumed vast proportions and the same thing always happened, namely, that the National Socialist German Labour Party meetings were always crowded out so that the police wereM
compelled to close and bar the doors long before the proceedings commenced. The organisation of hall-guards to keep order at our meetings cleared up a very difficult question. Up till then the Movement had possessed no party badge and no party flag. The lack of these tokens was not only a disadvantage at that time, but was bound to prove intolerable in the future. The disadvantages were chiefly that members of the Party possessed no outward token of membership which linked them together and it was absolutely unthiM
nkable that for the future they should remain without some token which would be a symbol of the Movement and could be set against that of the International. More than once in my youth the psychological importance of such a symbol had become clearly evident to me and from a sentimental point of view also it was advisable. In Berlin, after the War, I was present at a mass demonstration of Marxists in the Lustgarten in front of the Royal Palace. A sea of red flags, red armlets and red flowers was in itself sufficient M
to give that huge assembly of about one hundred and twenty thousand persons an outward appearance of strength.</p><blockquote><p>556</p></blockquote><p>I was now able to feel and understand how easily the man in the street succumbs to the hypnotic magic of such a grandiose piece of theatrical demonstration. The bourgeoisie, which, politically speaking, neither possessed nor championed any<i>Weltanschauung</i>, had, therefore, no banner of its own. Its parties were composed of
who appropriated the colM
ours of the Reich. Had these colours been the symbol of a definite<i>Weltanschauung</i>then one could understand the rulers of the State regarding this flag as expressive of their own<i>Weltanschauung</i>, seeing that through their efforts the symbol of their<i>Weltanschauung</i>had become the emblem of the Reich. This was, however, not the case. The Reich was welded together without the aid of the German bourgeoisie and the flag itself was born of the War and was, therefore, merely a State emblem possessing no sigM
nificance in the sense of any particular ideological mission. Only in one part of the German-speaking territory in German Austria was there anything like a bourgeois party flag in existence. Here a section of the national bourgeoisie selected the 1848 colours (black, red and gold) as their party flag and then they created a symbol which, though of no significance from the point of view of a<i>Weltanschauung</i>, had, nevertheless, a revolutionary character from a national political point of view. The most bitter opM
ponents of this flag at that time (and this should not be forgotten to-day) were the Social Democrats and the Christian Socialists or the clergy. They it was, in particular, who degraded and besmirched these colours just as in 1918 they dragged black, white and red in the gutter. Of course, the black, red and gold of the German parties in the old Austria were the colours of the year 1848; that is to say, of a period likely to be regarded as somewhat visionary, but it was a period that had honest Germans as its reprM
esentatives, although the Jews were lurking unseen as wire-pullers in the background. It was the act of high treason and the shameful bartering of the German people and German territory that first of all made these colours so attractive to the Marxists and the Centre Party; so much so, that to-day they revere them as their most cherished possession and found their own associations for the protection of the flag they once foully besmirched.</p><blockquote><p>557</p></blockquote><p>It is a fact, therefore, that, up tM
o 1920, there was no flag that could have stood for a<i>Weltanschauung</i>diametrically opposed to Marxism. For even if the better political elements among the German bourgeoisie were loath to accept the suddenly discovered black, red and gold colours as their symbol after the year 1918, they were nevertheless incapable of countering this with a programme of their own for the future. At last, they had a reconstruction of the old Reich in mind. It is to this way of thinking that the black, white and red colours of tM
he old Reich are indebted for their resurrection as the flag of our so-called national bourgeois parties. It is obvious that the emblem of a regime which had been, overthrown by the Marxists in inglorious circumstances is not now worthy to serve as a banner under which the same Marxism is to be crushed in its turn. However much any honourable German may love and revere those old colours, glorious in their youthful freshness, if he has fought under them and seen the sacrifice of so many lives; they can never serve aM
s an emblem for the struggle of the future. In our Movement I have always adopted the attitude that it was a really lucky thing for the German nation that it had lost its old flag. This attitude of mine was in strong contrast to that of the bourgeois politicians. It may be immaterial to us what the Republic does under its flag, but let us be deeply grateful to Fate for having so graciously spared the most glorious war flag of all time from becoming an ignominious rag. The Reich of to-day, which has sold itself and M
its people, must never be allowed to adopt the honourable and heroic black, white and red colours. As long as the November outrage endures, that outrage may continue to bear its own external sign and not steal that of an honourable past. Our bourgeois politicians should awaken their consciences to the fact that whoever desires this State to adopt the black, white and red colours is pilfering the past. The old flag was suitable only for the old Reich and, thank Heaven, the Republic chose the colours best suited to iM
tself.</p><blockquote><p>558</p></blockquote><p>This was also the reason why we National Socialists recognised that to hoist the old colours would not be symbolic of our special aims, for we had no wish to resurrect from the dead the old Reich which had been ruined through its own blunders, but to build up a new State. The Movement which is fighting Marxism to-day along these lines must display on its banner the symbol of the new State. The question of the new flag, that is to say, the form and appearance it must tM
ake, gave us much food for thought in those days. Suggestions poured in from all sides, which although well-meant were not suitable. The new flag had not only to be a symbol expressing our own struggle but, on the other hand, it was necessary that it should prove effective as a large poster. All those who have to consider the tastes of the public will recognise and appreciate the great importance of these apparently petty details. In hundreds of thousands of cases a really striking emblem may be the first thing to M
awaken interest in a movement. For this reason we declined all suggestions from various quarters for the identification of our Movement, by means of a white flag, with the old State or rather with those decrepit parties whose sole political objective was the restoration of past conditions. Apart from this, white is not a colour capable of attracting and focussing public attention. It is a colour suitable only for temperance associations and not for a movement that stands for reform in a revolutionary period. Black M
certainly well-suited to the times, but embodying no significance expressive of the will behind our Movement. Moreover, black is incapable of attracting attention. White and blue were discarded, despite their admirable aesthetic appeal as being the colours of an individual German federal state
a state that, unfortunately, through its political attitude of particularist narrow-mindedness did not enjoy a good reputation. In addition, with these colours it would have been difficult to attract atM
tention to our Movement. The same applies to black and white. Black, red and gold did not come into consideration; neither, for the reasons already mentioned, did black, white and red
at least not in the form hitherto in use.</p><blockquote><p>559</p></blockquote><p>But the effectiveness of these three colours is far superior to all others and they are certainly the most strikingly harmonious combination. I myself was always for keeping the old colours, not only because I, as a soldier, regarded them as my most sM
acred possession, but because in their aesthetic effect they are, more than any others, symbolic of my personal sentiments. Accordingly, I had to discard all the innumerable suggestions and designs which had been proposed for the new Movement, among which were many that had incorporated the swastika in a design with the old colours. I, as leader, was unwilling to make public my own design, as it was possible that someone else would come forward with a design just as good, if not better, than my own. As a matter of M
fact, a dental surgeon from Starnberg submitted a good design very similar to mine, with only one mistake, namely, that upon a white ground he set a swastika with curved limbs. After innumerable trials I decided upon a final form
a flag of red material with a white disc bearing in its centre a black swastika. After many attempts I obtained the correct proportions between the dimensions of the flag and that of the white central disc, as well as of the swastika. This design was finally adopted. At the same time, weM
immediately ordered corresponding armlets for our squad of men who kept order at meetings, armlets of red material bearing a white disc with the black swastika upon it. A party badge was designed on the same lines, namely, a white disc on a red ground bearing the swastika in the centre. Herr Fuss, a Munich goldsmith, supplied the first practical and permanent design for this. The new flag made its first appearance in public in the summer of 1920. It suited out Movement admirably, both being new and young. Not a soM
ul had seen this flag before and its effect at that time was something akin to that of a flaming torch. We ourselves experienced almost a boyish thrill when one of the women-members of the Party who had been entrusted with the making of the flag finally handed it over to us.</p><blockquote><p>560</p></blockquote><p>A few months later we in Munich possessed six of these flags. The steadily increasing strength of our hall-guards was a main factor in popularizing the symbol, for it, became a symbol in the truest senseM
of the word. By incorporating those colours, dear to every one of us, which had once gained so much honour for the German nation it bore testimony to our reverence for the past and was at the same time symbolic of the Movement
s aims. Our nationalist and socialist programme was made manifest in our flag. The red expressed the social thought underlying the Movement, white the national thought, and the swastika signified the mission allotted to us
the struggle for the victory of Aryan mankind and at the same timM
e the triumph of the ideal of creative work which in itself is, and always will be, anti-Semitic. Two years later, when our squad of hall-guards had long since grown into storm detachments, it seemed necessary to give this defensive organisation of a young<i>Weltanschauung</i>a particular symbol of victory, namely, a standard. I also designed this and entrusted, the execution of it to an old party comrade, Herr Gahr, who was a goldsmith. Ever since that time this standard has been the distinctive emblem of the NatiM
onal Socialist struggle. The increasing interest taken in our meetings, particularly during 1920, compelled us at times to hold two meetings a week. Crowds gathered round our posters, the large meeting-halls in the town were always filled and tens of thousands of people, who had been led astray by the teachings of Marxism, found their way back to the national community to assist in the work of fighting for the liberation of the Reich. The public in Munich had got to know us. We were being talked about. The term
had become common property to many and signified for them a definite party programme. Our circle of supporters and even of members was constantly increasing, so that in the winter of 1920
21 we were able to appear as a strong party in Munich. At that time there was no party in Munich, with the exception of the Marxist parties, and certainly no nationalist party which was able to hold such mass demonstrations as ours.</p><blockquote><p>561</p></blockquote><p>The M
nchner-Kindl-Keller, which M
held five thousand people, was more than once overcrowded and up till then there was only one other hall, the Circus Krone, which we had not yet ventured to hire. At the end of January 1921 there was again great cause for anxiety in Germany. The Paris Agreement, by which Germany pledged herself to pay the crazy sum of a hundred milliard gold marks, was to be confirmed by the London Treaty. Thereupon an well-established Munich co-operative association, representative of so-called<i>v
lkisch</i>groups, deemed it advM
isable to call a public meeting of protest. I became nervous and restless when I saw that a lot of time was being wasted and nothing achieved. At first a meeting was suggested in the Konigsplatz; on second thoughts this proposal was turned down, as someone feared the proceedings might be wrecked by Red elements. Another suggestion was a demonstration in front of the Feldherrnhalle, but this also came to nothing. Finally, a combined meeting in the M
nchner-Kindl-Keller was suggested. Meanwhile day after day went byM
; the parties entirely ignored the terrible event and the co-operative association could not decide on a definite date for holding the demonstration. On Tuesday, February 1st, I put forward an urgent demand for a final decision. I was told I should be given it on Wednesday. On that day I demanded to be told clearly, if and when, the meeting was to take place. The reply was again uncertain and evasive, it being stated that it was
to arrange a demonstration for that day week. At that I lost all patiencM
e and decided to conduct a meeting of protest on my own. At noon on Wednesday I dictated in ten minutes the text of the poster and at the same time hired the Circus Krone for the next day, February 3rd. In those days this was a tremendous venture, not only because of the uncertainty of filling that vast hall, but also because of the risk of the meeting being broken up. Numerically, our squad of hall-guards was not strong enough for this vast hall. I was also uncertain about what to do in case the meeting was brokenM
up, as I imagined it would be more difficult to deal with that contingency, in the huge circus building than in an ordinary meeting hall.</p><blockquote><p>562</p></blockquote><p>But events showed that my fears were misplaced, the opposite being the case. In that vast building a band of men bent on breaking up the meeting could be tackled and subdued more easily than in crowded halls. One thing was certain
a failure would throw us back for a long time to come. If one meeting were broken up our prestige would be M
seriously injured and our opponents would be encouraged to repeat their success. That would lead to sabotage of our work in connection with further meetings and months of difficult struggle would be necessary to overcome this. We had only one day in which to post our bills, Thursday. Unfortunately it rained during the morning of that day and there was reason to fear that many people would prefer to remain at home rather than hurry to a meeting through rain and snow, especially when there was likely to be violence aM
nd bloodshed. Indeed on that Thursday morning I was suddenly struck by the fear that the hall might never be filled to capacity, which would have made me ridiculous in the eyes of the co-operative association. I therefore immediately dictated various leaflets and had them printed and distributed in the afternoon. Of course, they contained an invitation to attend the meeting. Two lorries which I hired were draped as much as possible in red, each had our new flag hoisted on it and was then
twenty members of our Party. Orders were given to the members to canvas the streets thoroughly, distribute leaflets and conduct propaganda for the mass meeting to be held that evening. It was the first time that lorries had driven through the streets bearing flags and not manned by Marxists. The public stared open-mouthed at these red-draped cars, and in the outlying districts clenched fists were angrily raised at this new evidence of
provocation of the proletariat.
Were not the Marxists the only ones entitleM
d to hold meetings and drive about in motor-lorries? By seven o
clock in the evening the circus hall was by no means full.</p><blockquote><p>563</p></blockquote><p>I was being kept informed by telephone every ten minutes and was becoming uneasy. Usually at seven or a quarter past our meeting-halls were already halffilled and sometimes even packed, but I soon discovered the cause of this. I had entirely forgotten to take into account the huge dimensions of this new meeting-place. A thousand people in the Hofbr
aus was quite an impressive sight, but the same number in the Circus building was swallowed up in its vastness and was hardly noticeable. Shortly afterwards I received more hopeful reports and at a quarter to eight I was informed that the hall was three-quarters full, with huge crowds still lined up at the pay-boxes. I then left for the meeting. I arrived at the Circus building at two minutes past eight. There was still a crowd outside, composed partly of inquisitive people and among them many opponents who preferrM
ed to wait outside for developments. When I entered the great hall I felt the same joy I had felt a year previously at the first meeting in the Festsaal of the M
nchener Hofbrauhaus; but it was not until I had forced my way through the solid wall of people and reached the platform that I perceived the full measure of our success. The hall was before me, like a huge shell packed with thousands upon thousands of people. Even the arena was densely crowded. More than five thousand six hundred tickets had been sold andM
, allowing for the unemployed, poor students and our own detachments of men for keeping order, a crowd of about six thousand five hundred must have been present. My theme was,
and I was filled with joy at the conviction that the future was represented by the crowd that I was addressing. I began, and spoke for about two and a half hours. I had the feeling after the first half-hour that the meeting was going to be a big success. Contact had at once been established with all those thousands ofM
individuals. After the first hour the speech was already being received by spontaneous outbursts of applause, but after the second hour this died down to a solemn stillness which I was to experience so often later on in this same hall and which will be for-ever remembered by all those present.</p><blockquote><p>564</p></blockquote><p>Nothing broke, this impressive silence and only when the last word had been spoken did the meeting give vent to its feelings by singing the national anthem. I watched the scene duringM
the next twenty minutes, as the vast hall slowly emptied itself, and only then did I leave the platform, a happy man, and make my way home. Photographs were taken of this first meeting in the Circus Krone in Munich. They are more eloquent than words in demonstrating the success of this meeting. The bourgeois papers reproduced photographs and reported the meeting as having been merely
in character-in their usual modest fashion they omitted all mention of its promoters. Thus we had, for the first tM
ime, far exceeded the limits of an ordinary party. We could now no longer be ignored, and to dispel all doubt that the meeting was merely an isolated success, I immediately arranged for another at the Circus Krone in the following week, with the same results. Once more the vast hall was filled to overflowing; so much so that I decided to hold a third meeting in the same hall during the following week, and yet a third time the immense building was filled with people. After these initial successes early in 1921 I incM
reased our activity in Munich still further. I not only held meetings once a week, but often twice a week and very often during, the summer and autumn as many as three meetings were held every week. We met regularly at the Circus Hall and it gave us great satisfaction to see that every meeting brought us the same measure of success. The result was shown in an ever-growing number of supporters and an increase in the number of party members. Naturally the news of our success did not allow our opponents to sleep soundM
ly. At first their tactics fluctuated between the use of terrorist tactics and silence. But as they were forced to realise that neither terrorism nor silence could hinder the progress of our Movement, they had recourse to a supreme act of terrorism which was intended to put a definite end to our activities as regards the holding of meetings. As a pretext for action along this line they took advantage of a mysterious attack on one of the Landtag deputies, named Erhard Auer. It was declared that someone had fired sevM
eral shots at this man one evening, that is to say, he was not actually hit, but an attempt had been made to shoot him.</p><blockquote><p>565</p></blockquote><p>Fabulous presence of mind and heroic courage on the part of the Social Democratic leader not only foiled this dastardly attempt on his life, but also put the crazy would-be assassins to flight. They were so quick and fled so far that subsequently the police could not find even the slightest traces of them. This mysterious episode was used by the organ of thM
e Social Democratic Party to arouse public feeling against the Movement and at the same time it delivered its old rigmarole about what was to happen in the near future. They would see to it that the proletariat would intervene in time and prevent us from flourishing like the green bay-tree. A few days later the real attack came. It was decided finally to interrupt one of our meetings which was billed to, take place in the M
uhaus and at which I myself was to speak. On November 4th, 1921, between sixM
clock in the evening, I received the first definite news that the meeting would positively be broken up and that to carry out this action our adversaries had decided to send to the meeting large numbers of workmen employed in certain
factories. It was due to an unfortunate accident that we did not receive this news sooner. On that day, we had given up our old business office in the Sternecker Gasse in Munich and moved into other premises; or rather we had given-up the old offices and our neM
w quarters were not yet in functioning order. The telephone had already been cut off in the old office and had not yet been installed in the new one. Hence it happened that several attempts to inform us by telephone of the break-up which had been planned for that evening failed. Consequently our hall-guards were not present in strength at that meeting. There was only one squad present, which did not consist of the usual one hundred men, but only of about forty-six, and our machinery for giving the alarm was not yetM
sufficiently perfect for us to be able to collect within the space of an hour a sufficient number of guards to deal with the situation. It must also be added that on several previous occasions we had been forewarned, but nothing unusual had happened. The old saying that revolutions which are predicted seldom take place had hitherto proved true in our case. Possibly this was an additional reason why sufficient precautions had not been taken on that day to cope with the brutal determination of our opponents to breakM
up our meeting.</p><blockquote><p>566</p></blockquote><p>Finally, we did not believe that the Hofbr
uhaus in Munich was suitable for the interruptive tactics of our adversaries. We had feared such a thing far more in the bigger halls, especially in the Circus Krone, but on this point we were to learn a very serviceable lesson on that evening. Later, we studied this whole question scientifically and arrived at conclusions, both interesting and incredible, which were afterwards of fundamental importance in determinM
ing the organisation and tactics of our Storm Troops. When I arrived at the entrance hall of the Hofbr
uhaus at 7:45 p.m. that evening, I realised that there could be no doubt as to what the Reds intended. The hall was filled, and for that reason the police had barred the entrances. Our adversaries, who had arrived very early, were in the hall, and our followers were, for the most part, outside. The small bodyguard of S.A. men awaited me at the entrance. I had the doors leading to the principal hall closed and theM
n asked the bodyguard of forty-five or forty-six men to come forward. I made it clear to them that perhaps on that evening they would for the first time have to show their unbending and unbreakable loyalty to the Movement and that not one of us must leave the hall unless he were carried out dead. I added that I would remain in the hall and that I did not believe that one of them would abandon me, and that if I saw any one of them act the coward I myself would personally tear off his armlet and his badge. I demandedM
of them that they should come forward if the slightest attempt were made to sabotage the meeting and that they must remember that the best defence is always attack. I was answered with a triple
which sounded more hoarse and enthusiastic than usual. Then I advanced through the hall and could take in the situation with my own eyes. Our opponents sat close together and tried to pierce me with their looks.</p><blockquote><p>567</p></blockquote><p>Innumerable pairs of eyes glowing with hatred and rage were fM
ixed on me, while others with sneering faces greeted me with shouts and threats to the effect that they would
look out for ourselves
and that they would
stop our mouths once and for all
, along with other expressions of an equally elegant character. They knew that they were superior in numbers and they acted accordingly. Yet we were able to open the meeting, and I began to speak. In the hall of the Hofbr
uhaus I always stood against one of the side walls and my platM
form was a beer table. Therefore I was always right in the midst of the audience. Perhaps this circumstance was responsible for creating a certain atmosphere which I never sensed elsewhere. Before me, and especially towards my left, there were only opponents, seated or standing. They were mostly robust youths and men from the Maffei Factory, from Kustermann
s, from the Isaria meter works, etc. Along the left-hand wall of the hall they had pushed their way close to my table and now began to collect beer-mugs, thatM
is to say, they ordered one beer after another and placed the empty mugs under the tables. In this way they succeeded in collecting whole batteries of ammunition, and no one would have been more surprised than I, had the meeting passed off quietly. In spite of all the interruptions, I was able to speak for about an hour and a half and I began to feel that I was master of the situation. Even the ringleaders among the disturbers appeared to be convinced of this, for they steadily became more uneasy, often left the hM
all, returned and spoke to their men in an obviously nervous way. A small psychological error which I committed in replying to an interruption, a mistake of which I myself was conscious the moment the words had left my mouth, gave the sign for the outbreak. There were a few furiously angry shouts and all in a moment a man jumped on a seat and shouted
At that signal the champions of liberty began their work.</p><blockquote><p>568</p></blockquote><p>In a few moments the hall was filled with a yelling sM
hrieking mob. Numerous beer-mugs flew like shells above their heads. Amid this din, one heard the crash of chair legs, the crashing of mugs, shouts, yells and screams. It was a mad uproar and I should just like to have seen such a scene enacted at a bourgeois meeting. I stood were I was and could observe my men doing their duty, every one of them. The fun had hardly begun when my Storm Troops, as they were called from that day onwards, launched their attack. Like wolves they threw themselves on the enemy again and M
again, in parties of eight or ten and began steadily to drive them out of the hall. After five minutes I could see hardly one of them that was not streaming with blood. Then I realised what kind of men many of them were, above all my brave Maurice and Hess, who is my private secretary to-day, and many others who, even though seriously wounded, returned to the attack again and again, as long as they could stand on their feet. Pandemonium reigned for some twenty minutes and by that time our opponents, who had numbereM
d seven or eight hundred, had been driven from the hall or hurled out headlong by my men, who had not numbered fifty. Only, in the left corner a big crowd was still standing out against our men and putting up a stiff fight. Then two pistol-shots rang out from the entrance to the hall and immediately wild shooting broke out on all sides. One
s heart almost rejoiced at this spectacle which recalled memories of the War. At that moment it was not possible to identify the persons who had fired the shots, but at any raM
te I could see that my men had returned to the attack with increased fury, until finally the last disturbers were overcome and flung out of the hall. About twenty-five minutes had passed since it all began. The hall looked as if a bomb had exploded there. Many of my comrades were being bandaged and others were being taken away, but we remained masters of the situation. Hermann Esser, who was chairman of the meeting, announced,
The meeting will continue. The speaker will proceed.
So I went on with my speech.</M
p><blockquote><p>569</p></blockquote><p>When we ourselves had declared the meeting at an end, an excited police officer rushed in, waved his arms and declared,
The meeting is dissolved.
I could not help laughing at this example of the law
s delay. It was typical of the officiousness of the police. The more insignificant they are, the more important they try to appear. That evening taught us many a lesson and our adversaries never forgot the lesson they had received. Up to the autumn of 1923 the<i>M
Post</i>did not again threaten us with the clenched fist of the proletariat.</p><blockquote><p>570</p></blockquote><blockquote><p>571</p></blockquote><blockquote><p>572</p></blockquote><h1 id="chapter-viii-the-strong-are-stronger-without-allies">CHAPTER VIII: THE STRONG ARE STRONGER WITHOUT ALLIES</h1><p>In the preceding chapter I mentioned the existence of a co-operative association between the German patriotic societies. Here I shall deal briefly with this question. In speaking of a co-operative association we gM
enerally mean a group of societies which, for the purpose of facilitating their work, establish mutual relations for collaborating along certain lines, appointing a common board of management vested with a varying degree of authority with a view to undertaking concerted action. This very fact shows that these were societies, associations and parties, whose aims and course of action were not too widely divergent, and it was asserted that this was invariably true. The average citizen is pleased and reassured when he M
hears that these societies, by establishing a co-operative association, have at long last discovered a common platform on which they can stand united and have eliminated all causes of dissension. Therewith a general conviction arises, to the effect that such a union is an immense gain in strength and that small groups which were weak as long as they stood alone have now suddenly become strong. Yet this conviction is generally a mistaken one. It will be interesting and, in my opinion, important for the better undersM
tanding of this question to try to get a clear notion of how it came about that so many of these associations, unions, etc., were formed when all of them declared that they had the same ends in view. In itself it would be logical to expect that one aim should be fought for by a single association and it would be more sensible if there were not a number of associations fighting for the same aim. In the beginning there was undoubtedly only one association which had this one fixed aim in view. Some men somewhere stateM
d a definite fact, called for the solution of a definite problem, enunciated their aim and founded a movement for the purpose of achieving that aim.</p><blockquote><p>573</p></blockquote><p>That is how an association or a party is founded, whose programme may be either the abolition of existing evils or the positive establishment of a certain order of things in the future. Once such a movement has come into existence it may lay practical claim to certain priority rights. The natural course of things would now be thM
at all those who wish to fight for the same objective as this movement is striving for, should identify themselves with it and thus increase its strength, so that the common purpose in view may be the better served. Especially men of superior intelligence must feel, one and all, that by joining the movement they are establishing precisely those conditions which are necessary for practical success in the common struggle. Accordingly it is reasonable and, in a certain sense, honest
which honesty, as I shall show laM
ter, is an element of very great importance
that only one movement should be founded for the purpose of attaining one aim. The fact that this does not happen must be attributed to two causes. The first may almost be described as tragic; the second as despicable, because it has its source in the weaknesses of human nature. But, when all is said and done, I see in both causes only facts which go to strengthen our determination and our energy and which, by this intensification of human activity render possible the sM
olution of the problem in question. The tragic reason why it so often happens that the pursuit of one definite task is not left to one association alone is as follows: Generally speaking, every action carried out on a grand scale is the expression of a desire that has already existed for a long time in millions of human hearts, a longing which may have been nourished, in silence. It may even happen that throughout the centuries many men have been yearning for the solution of a definite problem, because they have beM
en suffering under an unendurable state of affairs, without hope of fulfilment of the universal longing.</p><blockquote><p>574</p></blockquote><p>Nations which are no longer capable of finding a heroic deliverance from such a sorrowful fate may be looked upon as effete. But, on the other hand, nothing affords better proof of the vital forces of a people and the consequent guarantee of its right to exist than that one day, through a happy decree of Destiny, a man arises who is capable of liberating his people from sM
ome great oppression, or of wiping out some bitter distress, or of calming the national soul which had been tormented through is sense of insecurity, and thus fulfilling what had long been the universal yearning of the people. An essential characteristic of what are called the great questions of the age is that thousands undertake the task of solving them and that many feel themselves called upon to fulfil this task; it may even be that Destiny herself puts forward many for selection, in order that, through the freM
e play of events the strongest and most capable man shall ultimately be the victor and be entrusted with the task of solving the problem. Thus it may happen that for centuries many are discontent with the form in which their religious life expresses itself and yearn for a reformation. So it may come about that through this impulse of the soul some dozens of men may arise who believe that, by virtue of their understanding and their knowledge, they are called upon to solve the religious difficulties of the day and acM
cordingly present themselves as the prophets of a new doctrine or at least as declared adversaries of the accepted dogmas. Here also it is certain that the laws of Nature will take their course, inasmuch as the strongest will be destined to fulfil the great mission, but usually the others are slow to acknowledge that only one man is called upon to fulfil the task. On the contrary they all believe that they have an equal right to engage in the solution of the difficulties in question and that they are equally fittedM
for that task. Their contemporary world is generally quite unable to decide which of them possesses the highest gifts and accordingly merits universal support. Thus, in the course of centuries, and indeed often within the same epoch, different men establish different movements to achieve the same end. At least the end is declared by the founders of the movements to be the same, or may be looked upon as such by the bulk of the people.</p><blockquote><p>575</p></blockquote><p>The people nourish vague desires and havM
e only general opinions, without having any precise notion of their own ideals and desires or of the question whether and how it is possible for these ideals and desires to be fulfilled. The tragedy lies in the fact that many men struggle to reach the same objective by different roads, each one genuinely believing in his own mission and holding himself in duty bound to follow his own road without regard for the others. These movements, parties, religious groups, etc., originate entirely independently of one anotherM
out of the general urge of the age, and all with a view to working towards the same goal. It may seem a tragic thing, at least at first sight, that this should be so, because people are too often inclined to think that forces which are dispersed in different directions would attain their ends far more quickly and more surely if they were united in one common effort. This is, however, not so, for Nature herself decides according to the rules of her inexorable logic. She leaves these diverse groups to compete with oM
ne another and dispute the palm of victory in order, finally, to lead that movement to the final goal which has chosen the clearest, shortest and surest path. How can the world decide which path is right or wrong, if the available forces are note given free play, if the final decision is not taken out of the hands of men who are convinced of their own infallibility and left to the infallible test of established success which is always the final confirmation of the justice of a course of action. Therefore, if variouM
s groups are striving by various routes to reach the same goal, they will, inasmuch as they are aware that similar efforts are being made elsewhere, examine more critically their own method of procedure, simplify it if possible and, by exerting themselves to the utmost, try to reach that goal more quickly. Through this rivalry the faculties of each individual protagonist are developed to a still higher pitch of perfection and the human race has frequently owed its progress to the lessons learned front former attempM
ts which have come to grief.</p><blockquote><p>576</p></blockquote><p>Thus it happens that in the initial dispersion of effort for which the individual is not consciously to blame and which appeared at first sight to be fraught with tragic consequences, we may recognise the means by which the best method is finally selected. History shows that, as most people believe, the two parties by which a solution of the German problem might have been reached amid whose chief advocates were Austria and Prussia, the Habsburg aM
nd the Hohenzollern, should have been united from the outset. In the opinion of these same people both parties should have decided to follow either one path or the other, but at that time, the path chosen would inevitably have been that of the rival who was then more important and Austria
s aims would never have included the foundation of the German Reich. A strong and united German Reich finally arose out of that which many millions of Germans deplored in their hearts as the last and most terrible manifestation M
of our fratricidal strife. The truth is that the German Imperial Crown was secured on the battlefield of Koniggratz and not, as was commonly asserted afterwards, in the battles that were waged outside Paris. Thus the foundation of the German Reich was not the consequence of any common will working along common lines, but it was rather the outcome of a deliberate, if sometimes unconscious, struggle for hegemony, in which Prussia finally was victorious. Anybody who is not so blinded by party politics as to be unable M
to recognise the truth must perforce admit that the so-called wisdom of men would never have come to the same wise decision which the wisdom of Life itself, that is to say, the free play of forces, finally brought to realisation. For in the German territories of two hundred years ago who would seriously have believed that Hohenzollern Prussia, and not Habsburg, would become the nucleus, the founder and the tutor of the new Reich? And, on the other hand, who would deny to-day that Destiny thus acted with more insighM
t than human wisdom. Who could now imagine a German Reich based on the foundations of an effete and degenerate dynasty?</p><blockquote><p>577</p></blockquote><p>The natural course of events, even though it took centuries of struggle, finally awarded the superior force the position which it was fitted to occupy. This will always be so and will remain, as it always has been, an immutable law. It is, therefore, not a matter for regret if different men set out to attain the same objective by various means. In this way M
the strongest and swiftest is recognised and will be the victor. There is yet a second cause for the fact that often in the lives of nations several movements which show the same characteristics strive by different routes to reach what appears to be the same goal. This second cause is not at all tragic, but merely deserves scorn. It arises from a sad mixture of envy, jealousy, ambition and predatory instincts. Unfortunately these failings are often found united in single specimens of the human species. The moment aM
man arises who profoundly understands the distress of his people and, having diagnosed the evil with perfect accuracy, takes measures to cure it; the moment he fixes his aim and chooses the means to reach it then paltry and pettifogging people become all attention and eagerly follow the doings of this man who has thus come before the public eye. Just like sparrows who are apparently indifferent, but in reality keenly observant of the movements of their more fortunate companion with the morsel of bread, in order thM
at they may snatch it from him if he should momentarily relax his hold, so it is also with the human species. All that is needed is that one man should strike out on a new road and then a crowd of poltroons will prick up their ears and begin to hope that some trifling gain may lie at the end of that road. The moment they think they have discovered where the reward is to be reaped they hasten to find another route by which to reach the goal more quickly. As soon as a new movement is founded and has formulated a defiM
nite programme, people of that kind come forward and proclaim that they are fighting for the same cause.</p><blockquote><p>578</p></blockquote><p>This does not imply that they are honestly ready to join the ranks of such a movement and thus recognise its right of priority. It implies rather that they intend to steal the programme and found a new party. In doing this they are shameless enough to assure the unthinking public that they had long intended to take the same line of action as the other had now taken and frM
equently succeed in thus placing themselves in a favourable light, instead of arousing the general disapprobation which they justly deserve. For it is a piece of gross impudence to steal another
s slogan and proclaim it as one
s own, to steal the programme of another, and then to form a separate group as if all this had been created by the new founder of this group. The impudence of such conduct is particularly obvious when the individuals who first caused dispersion and disruption by their new foundation are, M
the same who (as experience has shown) are most emphatic in proclaiming the necessity for union and unity the moment they find they cannot catch up with their adversary
s advance. It is to that kind of conduct that so-called
lkisch</i>disintegration
is to be attributed. Certainly in the years 1918
1919 the founding of a multitude of new groups, parties, etc., calling themselves
was a natural phenomenon of the time, for which the founders were not responsible. By 1920 the NatioM
nal Socialist German Labour Party had slowly crystallised from all these parties and had become supreme. There could be no better proof of the sterling honesty of certain individual founders than the fact that many of them decided, in a way that calls for admiration, to sacrifice their manifestly less successful movements to the stronger movement, by joining it unconditionally and dissolving their own. This is especially true in regard to Julius Streicher, who was at that time the protagonist of the German SocialisM
rnberg. The National Socialist German Labour Party had been founded with similar aims in view, but quite independently of the other. As I have already said, Streicher, then a teacher in N
rnberg, was the chief protagonist of the German Socialist Party. He had a sacred conviction of the mission and future of his own movement.</p><blockquote><p>579</p></blockquote><p>As soon, however, as he recognised the superior strength and steadier growth of the National Socialist Party, he gave up his work in the M
German Socialist Party and called upon his followers to fall into line with the National Socialist German Labour Party, which had emerged victorious from the mutual contest, and carry on the fight for the common cause within its ranks. The decision was personally a difficult one for him, but it showed a profound sense of honour. When that first period of the Movement was over, there remained no further dispersion of forces, for their honest intentions had led the men of that day to the same honourable, straightforwM
ard and just conclusion. What we now call the
lkisch</i>disintegration
owes its existence exclusively to the second of the two causes which I have mentioned. Ambitious men who, at first, had no ideas of their own, and still less any
conception of aims to be pursued, felt themselves
exactly at that moment in which the success of the National Socialist German Labour Party became unquestionable. Programmes suddenly appeared which were mere transcripts of ours. Ideas were proclaimed whiM
ch had been filched from us. Aims were enunciated on behalf of which we had been fighting for several years, and a course of action chosen which the National Socialists had for a long time followed. All kinds of means were resorted to for the purpose of trying to convince the public that, although the National Socialist German Labour Party had now been in existence for a long time it was found necessary to establish these new parties, but the more noble the motives put forward, the more insincere the phraseology. IM
n reality there was only one dominant motive, namely, the personal ambition of the founders, who wished to play a part in which their own pigmy talents could contribute nothing except the grass effrontery of appropriating the ideas of others, a mode of conduct which in ordinary life is looked upon as thieving. At that time there was not an idea or concept launched by other people which these political kleptomaniacs did not seize upon at once for the purpose of applying it for their own ends.</p><blockquote><p>580</M
p></blockquote><p>Those who did all this were the same people who subsequently, with tears in their eyes, profoundly deplored
lkisch</i>disintegration
and spoke unceasingly about the
necessity for unity.
In doing this they nurtured the secret hope that they might be able to cry down the others, who would tire of hearing these loud-mouthed accusations and would end up by abandoning in favour of the thieves, not only the ideas already stolen by the latter, but the movements which had been founded foM
r the execution of these ideas. When that did not occur and the new enterprises, thanks to the poor mentality of their promoters, did not show, the favourable results which had been promised beforehand, then they became more modest in their pretensions and were happy if they could find refuge in one of the so-called
co-operative associations.
At that period everything which could not stand on its own feet joined one of those co-operative associations, probably in the belief that eight cripples arm-in-arm equaM
lled one gladiator. If among all these cripples there was one who was sound of limb he had to use all his strength to sustain the others and thus he himself was, in the long run, crippled. We ought to look upon the question of joining these co-operative associations as a tactical problem, but, in coming to a decision, we must never forget the fundamental principle that through the formation of a co-operative association, societies which are weak in themselves can never be made strong, whereas it can and does not inM
frequently happen that a strong society or party loses in strength by joining a coalition of weaker ones. It is a mistake to believe that a factor of strength will result from the coalition of weak groups, because experience shows that in any form and under any conditions the majority is representative of the stupid and cowardly elements. Hence, a multiplicity of societies or parties is, as soon as it comes under the control of a board of management consisting of several persons elected by the parties, the victim oM
f weakness and cowardice. Through such a coalition the free play of forces is paralysed, the struggle for the selection of the best is abolished and therewith the necessary and final victory of the healthier and stronger elements is impeded.</p><blockquote><p>581</p></blockquote><p>Coalitions of that kind are inimical to the process of natural development, because for the most part they hinder rather than advance the solution of the problem which is the object of the struggle. It may happen that, from considerationM
s of a purely tactical kind, the leaders of a movement which looks ahead will enter into a coalition with other, movements for the treatment of special questions and may also act in common with them, but this can be only for a short and limited period. Such a coalition must not be permanent, if the movement does not wish to renounce its liberating mission, because if it should become indissolubly tied up in such a combination it would lose the capacity and the right to allow its own forces to work freely in followiM
ng out a natural development, in order to overcome rivals and attain its own objective. It must never be forgotten that nothing really great in this world has ever been achieved through coalitions, but that such achievements have always been due to the triumph of the individual. Successes achieved through coalitions, owing to the very nature of their source carry in them from the very start the germs of future disintegration and the possibility of losing what has already been achieved. The great revolutions which hM
ave taken place in human thought and have transformed the aspect of the world would have been inconceivable and impossible except as the titanic struggles waged by individual elements. They could never have been the work of coalitions. Above all things, the<i>v
lkisch</i>State will never be created by the compromising attitude of co-operative associations but only by the iron determination of a single movement which has struggled and triumphed over all the others.</p><blockquote><p>582</p></blockquote><blockquote>M
<p>583</p></blockquote><blockquote><p>584</p></blockquote><h1 id="chapter-ix-nature-and-organisation-of-the-storm-troops">CHAPTER IX: NATURE AND ORGANISATION OF THE STORM TROOPS</h1><p>The strength of the old state rested on three pillars: the monarchical form of government, the civil service, and the Army. The Revolution of 1918 abolished the form of government, disbanded the Army and abandoned the civil service to the corruption of party politics. Thus the essential supports of the so-called authority of the StatM
e were shattered. This authority nearly always depends on three elements, which are the essential foundations of all authority. Popular support is the first element which is necessary for the creation of authority, but an authority resting on that foundation alone is still quite frail, uncertain and vacillating. Hence, everyone who finds himself vested with an authority that is based only on popular support must take measures to improve and consolidate the foundations of that authority by the acquisition of power. M
Accordingly, we must look upon power, that is to say the capacity to use force, as the second foundation on which all authority is based. This foundation is more stable and secure, but not always stronger, than the first. If popular support and power are united and can endure for a certain time, then an authority may evolve which is based on a still stronger foundation, namely, the authority of tradition. Finally, if popular support, power, and tradition are united together, then the authority based on them may be M
looked upon as invincible. In Germany the Revolution abolished this last foundation. There was no longer even a traditional authority. With the collapse of the old Reich, the abolition of the monarchical form of government, the destruction of all the old insignia of greatness and the imperial symbols, tradition was shattered at a blow. The result was that the authority of the State was shaken to its foundations.</p><blockquote><p>585</p></blockquote><p>The second pillar of state authority, namely power, also ceasedM
to exist. In order to carry through the Revolution it was necessary to disband that body which had hitherto incorporated the organised force and power of the State, namely, the Army. Indeed some decimated fragments of the Army itself had to be employed as fighting elements in the Revolution. The armies at the front were not subjected in the same measure to this process of disruption, but as they gradually left farther behind them the fields of glory on which they had fought heroically for four and a half years theM
y were attacked by the corrosive acid that was destroying the discipline of the home front. When they arrived at the demobilizing centres, they fell into that state of confusion which was styled
voluntary obedience,
at the time of the Soldiers
Councils. Of course it was out of the question to think of founding any kind of authority on this crowd of mutineering soldiers, who looked upon military service as a job of eight hours per day. Therefore, the second element, that which guarantees the stability of auM
thority, was also abolished and the Revolution had only the original element, popular support, on which to build up its authority, but this basis was extraordinarily insecure. With one mighty blow, the Revolution had shattered the old state edifice, but only because the normal equilibrium within the social structure of the nation had already been destroyed by the war. Every national body is made up of three main classes. At one extreme we have the best of the people, taking the word
as indicating those wM
ho are highly endowed with the civic virtues and are noted for their courage and their readiness to sacrifice their private interests. At the other extreme are the worst dregs of humanity, in whom vice and egotistic interests prevail. Between these two extremes stands the third class, which is made up of the broad middle stratum, which does not incorporate either radiant heroism or vulgar vice. Those eras which mark the rise of a State are characterized and indeed made possible only by the fact that they occur undeM
r the exclusive leadership of that section belonging to the best extreme of the population.</p><blockquote><p>586</p></blockquote><p>Times of normal and steady development, or of stable conditions, owe their existence and outwardly visible characteristics to the preponderating influence of the middle stratum. In this stage the two extreme classes counterbalance each other, or in other words; they cancel each other. Times of national collapse are determined by the preponderating influence of the worst elements. It mM
ust be noted here, however, that the broad masses, which constitute what I have called the middle section, come forward and make their influence felt only when the two extreme sections are engaged in mutual strife, in case one of the extreme sections comes out victorious, the middle section will readily submit to its domination. If the best dominate, the broad masses will follow it. Should the worst extreme prove triumphant, then the middle section will at least offer no opposition to it, for the masses that constiM
tute the middle stratum never fight their own battles. The bloodshed which continued for four and a half years during the War destroyed the inner equilibrium between these three sections in so far as it can be said (with all due respect for the sacrifices made by the middle section) that it nearly led to the best extreme being bled white, because the total amount of irreplaceable and heroic German lives lost during these four and a half years was really tremendous. Just think of the hundreds of thousands of instancM
es when there was a call for volunteers for the front, volunteers for patrol duty, volunteer dispatch carriers, volunteers to go out and rig up a telephone, volunteers for bridge building, volunteers for the submarines, volunteers for the air service, volunteers for the storm battalions, and so on. During four and a half years, and on thousands of occasions, there was always the cry for volunteers and again for volunteers, and the result was always the same. Beardless young fellows or fully developed men, all filleM
d with an ardent love for their country; urged on by their own courageous spirit or by a lofty sense of their duty
it was always such men who answered the call for volunteers. There were tens of thousands, indeed hundreds of thousands, of such cases, so that that kind of human material steadily grew scarcer and scarcer. Those who were not killed were either maimed on the field of battle or disappeared gradually owing to the steady decrease in the number of survivors.</p><blockquote><p>587</p></blockquote><p>Let uM
s remember, above all, that in 1914 whole armies were composed of volunteers who, owing to a criminal lack of conscience on the part of our feckless parliamentarians, had not received a regulation peace-time training and were consequently defenceless cannon-fodder at the mercy of the enemy. The four hundred thousand who fell or were permanently maimed on the battlefields of Flanders were irreplaceable. Their loss was something far more than a numerical loss. With their death the scales, being too lightly weighted aM
t the best end, tipped rapidly upwards and the vulgar, infamous and cowardly elements, in short, those who constituted the worst extreme of our population, weighed heavier in the balance than previously. In addition to this, for four and a half years, our best human material was being thinned to an exceptional degree on the battlefields, while the worst extreme surpassed itself in the art of self-preservation. For each heroic volunteer who made the supreme sacrifice and ascended the steps of Valhalla, there was a sM
hirker who cunningly dodged death on the plea of being engaged in business that was of more or less national importance at home. Thus, the state of affairs at the end of the war was as follows: The great middle stratum of the nation had fulfilled its duty and paid its toll of blood. One extreme of the population, which was constituted of the best elements, had, with exemplary heroism, sacrificed itself almost to a man. The other extreme, which was, constituted of the worst elements of the population, had preserved M
itself almost intact, through taking advantage of absurd laws and also because the authorities failed to enforce certain articles of the military code. This carefully preserved scum of our nation then engineered the Revolution, and the reason why it could do so was that the extreme section composed of the best elements was no longer there to oppose it. It no longer existed.</p><blockquote><p>588</p></blockquote><p>Hence the German Revolution, from the very beginning, depended on only one section of the population. M
This act of Cain was not committed by the German people as such, but by an obscure rabble of deserters, hooligans, etc. The man at the front gladly welcomed the end of the strife in which so much blood had been shed. He was happy to be able to return home and be with his wife and children once again, but he had no moral connection with the Revolution. He did not like it, nor did he like those who had provoked and organised it. During the four and a half years of that utter struggle at the front he had come to forgeM
t the party hyenas at home and all their wrangling had become alien to him. The Revolution was really popular only with a small section of the German people, namely, that Class and their accomplices who had selected the rucksack as the hall-mark of all honorary citizens in this new State. They did not like the Revolution for its own sake, as many people still erroneously believe, but for the consequences which followed in its train. It was, however, very difficult to establish any abiding authority on the popular sM
upport given to these Marxist freebooters, and yet the young Republic stood in need of authority at any cost, unless it was prepared to be suddenly overthrown after a short period of chaos by an avenging force assembled from those last elements that still remained of the best extreme of the population. The danger which those who were responsible for the Revolution feared most at that time was that, in the turmoil of the confusion which they themselves had created, the ground would suddenly give under their feet, thM
at they might be abruptly seized and transported to another milieu by an iron hand, such as has often made itself felt at such junctures in the history of nations. The Republic had to be consolidated at all costs. Hence, it was forced almost immediately after its foundation to erect another pillar beside that unstable pillar of its wavering popularity. Its promoters found that power must be organised once again in order to procure a firmer foundation for their authority.</p><blockquote><p>589</p></blockquote><p>WheM
n those who had been the matadors of the Revolution in December 1918, and January and February 1919, felt the ground trembling beneath their feet they looked around them for men who would be prepared to support, by means of military force, the insecure position which their popularity with the public afforded them. The
Republic had need of soldiers. Since, however, the first and only pillar on which the authority of the State rested, namely, its popularity, was grounded only on a conglomerationM
of rowdies, thieves, burglars, deserters, shirkers, etc., namely, on that section of the nation which we have called the evil extreme, it was useless to look to it to provide men who would be willing to sacrifice their lives for the sake of a new ideal. The section which had nourished the revolutionary idea and carried out the Revolution was neither able nor willing to provide the men to protect it, for that section had no wish whatsoever to organise a republican State, but to disorganise what already existed in oM
rder the better to satisfy its own instincts. Their watchword was not the organisation and construction of the German Republic, but rather the pillaging of it. Hence, the cry for help, sent out by the public representatives, who were beset by a thousand anxieties, did not find any response among this class of people, but rather provoked a feeling of bitterness and repudiation. They looked upon this step as a breach of faith and trust, and in the building up of an authority which was no longer based on popular suppoM
rt, but also on force, they saw the beginning of a struggle against what was, for these elements, an essential factor of the Revolution, namely, the right to plunder and absolute domination by a horde of thieves and robbers in short, the worst rabble who had broken out of the convict prisons, leaving their chains behind. The representatives of the people might cry out as much as they liked, but they could get no help from that rabble and only the answering cry,
revealed the attitude of the very peopM
le on whose support the popularity of the regime was founded. Then for the first time large numbers of young Germans were ready to don their military uniform once again in the service, as they believed, of
shouldering their rifles and donning their steel helmets, to defend the wreckers of the Fatherland. Volunteer corps were assembled and, although hating the Revolution, they set to work to defend and to establish it firmly.</p><blockquote><p>590</p></blockquote><p>In doing this they acted in peM
rfect good faith. The real organiser of the Revolution and the actual wire-puller behind it, the international Jew, had sized up the situation correctly. The German people were not yet ripe to be drawn into the bloody swamp of Bolshevism, as the Russian people had been drawn. That was because there was a closer racial unity between the intellectual classes in Germany and the manual workers, and also because, as was also the case in the other States in Western Europe, broadly speaking, most classes of the community M
had their quota of cultured persons, whereas this was not the case in Russia. In that country the intellectual classes were, for the most part, not of Russian nationality, or at least they did not have the racial characteristics of the Slav. The thin upper layer of intellectuals which then existed in Russia could be abolished at any time, because there was no intermediate stratum connecting it organically with the great mass of the people. There the mental and moral level of the great mass of the people was extremeM
ly low. In Russia, the moment the agitators were successful in inciting the broad masses of the people, who could neither read nor write, against the upper layer of intellectuals who were not in contact with the masses or permanently linked with them in any way, the fate of Russia was decided, the success of the Revolution assured. Thereupon the analphabetic Russian became the slave of his Jewish dictators who, on their side, were shrewd enough to name their dictatorship
the dictatorship of the people.
case of Germany an additional factor must be taken into account. Here the Revolution could be carried into effect only if the Army could first be gradually dismembered. The real author of the Revolution and of the process of disintegration in the Army was not the soldier who had fought at the front, but canaille who more or less shunned the light and were either quartered in the home garrisons or were officiating as
somewhere in the business world at home.</p><blockquote><p>591</p></blockquote>M
<p>This canaille was reinforced by ten thousand deserters who, without running any particular risk, could turn their backs on the fighting front. At all times the real coward fears nothing so much as death, but at the front he had death before his eyes every day in a thousand different shapes. There has always been one possible way, and one only, of making weak or wavering men, or even downright cowards, face their duty steadfastly and that is that the deserter be given to understand that his desertion will bring uM
pon him just the very thing from which he is fleeing. At the front a man may die, but the deserter must die. Only this draconian threat against every attempt to desert the flag can have an intimidating effect, not merely on the individual, but also on the mass. Therein lay the meaning and purpose of the military penal code. It was a magnificent delusion, to believe that the great struggle for the life of a nation could be carried through if it were based solely on voluntary fidelity, arising from and sustained by tM
he knowledge that such a struggle was necessary. The voluntary fulfilment of one
s duty is a motive that determines the actions of only the best men, but not of the average type of man. Hence, special laws are necessary, just as, for instance, the law against stealing, which was not made for men who are honest on principle, but for the weak and unstable elements. Such laws are meant to hinder the evil-doer by their deterrent effect and thus prevent a state of affairs from arising in which the honest man is considM
ered stupid, and which would end in the belief that it is better to have a share in the robbery, than to stand by with empty hands or allow oneself to be robbed. It was a mistake to believe that in a struggle which, according to all human reckoning, might last for several years it would be possible to dispense with those expedients which the experience of hundreds and even of thousands of years had proved to be effective in making weak and unstable men face and fulfil their duty in difficult times and at moments ofM
great nervous stress. For the voluntary war-hero it is, of course, not necessary to have the death-penalty in the military code, but it is necessary for the cowardly egotists who value their own lives above the existence of the community in the hour of national need.</p><blockquote><p>592</p></blockquote><p>Such weak and characterless people can be deterred from surrendering to their cowardice only by the application of the heaviest penalties. When men have to struggle with death every day and remain for weeks in M
trenches of mire, often very badly supplied with food, the man who is unsure of himself and begins to waver cannot be made to stick to his post by threats of imprisonment or even penal servitude. Only by a ruthless enforcement of the death-penalty can this be effected, for experience shows that at such a time the weakling considers prison a thousand times preferable to the battlefield. In prison his precious life is not in danger. The abolition of the death-penalty during the War, that is to say, the fact that the M
military penal code was, to all practical purposes, in abeyance, was a mistake for which we had to pay dearly. An army of deserters poured into the stations at the rear or returned home, especially in 1918, and there began to form that huge criminal organisation with which we were suddenly faced, after November 7th, 1918, and which engineered the Revolution. The front had nothing to do with all this. Naturally, the soldiers at the front were yearning for peace, but it was precisely that fact which represented a speM
cial danger for the Revolution, for when the German soldiers began to draw near home, after the Armistice, the revolutionaries, in trepidation, asked again and again,
What will the troops from the front do? Will the men in fieldgrey stand for it?
During those weeks the Revolution was forced to give itself at least an external appearance of moderation, if it were not to run the risk of being speedily wrecked by a few German divisions. For at that time, had the commander of one single division made up his mind M
to rally the men of his command, who had always remained faithful to him, to participate in an onslaught, to tear down the red flag and put the
against the wall, or, if there was any resistance, to break in with trench-mortars and hand-grenades, that division would have grown into an army of sixty divisions in less than four weeks.</p><blockquote><p>593</p></blockquote><p>The Jewish wire-pullers were terrified by the prospect more than by anything else, and to forestall this particular danger they foM
und it necessary to give the Revolution a certain aspect of moderation. They dared not allow it to degenerate into Bolshevism, but, conditions being what they were, had to produce a semblance of
hence many important concessions, the appeal to the old civil service and to the leaders of the old Army. They would be needed, at least for a certain time, and only when they had served their turn could they be dismissed with impunity and the Republic taken entirely cut of the hands of the old servantM
s of the State and delivered into the clutches of the revolutionaries. They thought that this was the only means of duping the old generals and civil servants and of disarming beforehand any possible opposition through the apparently harmless and mild character of the new regime. Experience has shown to what extent the plot succeeded. The Revolution, however, was not made by the peaceful and orderly elements of the nation but rather by rioters, thieves and robbers, and the way in which the Revolution was developingM
did not accord with the intentions of these latter elements. Still, on tactical grounds, it was not possible to explain to them the reasons for the course things were taking and make that course acceptable. As Social Democracy gradually gained power, it lost more and more the character of a crude revolutionary party. Of course in their inner hearts the Social Democrats wanted a revolution and their leaders had no other end in view. The final result, however, was only a revolutionary programme and a body of men no M
longer capable of putting it into execution. A revolution cannot be carried through by a party often million members. In such a movement there is no longer a climax of activity, but merely the broad masses of the middle stratum, that is to say, inertia. Recognising all this, even during the War, the Jews brought about the famous split in the Social Democratic Party.</p><blockquote><p>594</p></blockquote><p>While the Social Democratic Party, conforming to the inertia of its mass following, hung like a leaden weight M
on the neck of the national defence, the actively radical elements were extracted from it and formed into a particularly efficient force for purposes of attack. The Independent Party and the Spartacist League were the storm-battalions of revolutionary Marxism. The objective assigned to them was to create a<i>fait accompli</i>, on the basis of which the masses of the Social Democratic Party could take their stand, having been prepared for this event long beforehand. The spineless bourgeoisie had been estimated at itM
s just value by the Marxists and treated en canaille. Nobody bothered about it, knowing well that in their canine servility the representatives of an old and worn-out generation would not be able to offer any serious resistance. When the Revolution had succeeded and its engineers believed that the main pillars of the old State had been broken down, the Army returning from the front began to appear in the light of a sinister sphinx and thus made it necessary to slow down the natural course of the Revolution. The maiM
n body of the Social Democratic horde occupied the conquered positions, and the Independent and Spartacist storm-battalions were sidetracked. This was not, however, possible without a struggle. Not only were the active assault formations that had started the Revolution dissatisfied and, feeling that they had been betrayed, eager to continue the fight on their own account, but their unchecked racketeering was even approved by the wire-pullers of the Revolution, for the Revolution itself had scarcely been accomplisheM
d when it appeared to be divided into two camps. In the one camp were the elements of law and order; in the other, those of blood and terrorism. Was it not perfectly natural that our bourgeoisie should take up its stand with flying colours in the camp of law and order? For once these pitiable, political organisations found it possible to act, inasmuch as, although not admitting it, they had gained a first foothold and thus to a certain extent they found themselves in coalition with that power which they hated but fM
eared. The German political bourgeoisie achieved the high honour of being able to associate itself with the accursed Marxist leaders for the purpose of combating Bolshevism.</p><blockquote><p>595</p></blockquote><p>Thus as early as December 1918 and January 1919 the situation was as follows: A minority consisting of the worst elements had engineered the Revolution, and behind this minority all the Marxist parties immediately fell into step. The Revolution itself had an outward appearance of moderation, which arouseM
d the enmity of the fanatical extremists. These began to resort to the use of hand-grenades and machine-guns, occupying public buildings, and thus threatening to destroy the moderate trend of the Revolution. To prevent this terrorism from developing further a truce was concluded between the representatives of the new regime and the adherents of the old order, for the purpose of waging a common fight against the extremists. The result was that the enemies of the Republic ceased to oppose the Republic as such and helM
ped to subjugate those who were also enemies of the Republic, though for quite different reasons, but a further consequence was that all danger of the adherents of the old State putting up a fight against the new was now definitely averted. This fact must always be borne in mind. Only by remembering it, can we understand how it was possible that a nation in which nine-tenths of the people had not joined in a revolution, while seven-tenths repudiated it and six-tenths detested it, allowed the Revolution to be imposeM
d upon it by the remaining one-tenth of the population. Gradually the barricade heroes in the Spartacist camp petered out, and so did the nationalist patriots and idealists on the other side. As these two groups steadily dwindled, the masses of the middle stratum triumphed, as they always will. The bourgeoisie and the Marxists met together on the basis of a fait accompli and the Republic began to be consolidated. At first, however, that did not prevent the bourgeois parties from continuing to propound their monarchM
ist ideas for some time, especially at the elections, whereby they endeavoured to conjure up the spirit of the dead past to encourage and win over once more their own feeble-hearted followers. It was not an honest proceeding. In their hearts they had broken with the monarchy long ago; but the foulness of the new regime had begun to extend its corruptive action and make itself felt in the camp of the bourgeois parties.</p><blockquote><p>596</p></blockquote><p>The common bourgeois politician now felt better in the slM
ime of republican corruption than in the severe austerity of the defunct State, which still lived in his memory. As I have already pointed out, after the destruction of the old Army the revolutionary leaders were forced to strengthen the authority of the State by creating a new factor of power. In the conditions that existed they could do this only by winning over to their side the adherents of a<i>Weltanschauung</i>which was diametrically opposed to their own. From those elements alone was it possible slowly to crM
eate a new Army, limited numerically by the peace treaties, whose spirit had to undergo a transformation, before it could become an instrument of the new regime. If, setting aside the very real defects of the old State, which undoubtedly constituted a contributory factor, we ask ourselves how it was possible for the revolutionary action to succeed, we arrive at the following conclusions: Firstly, it was due to the petrifaction of our sense of duty and obedience. Secondly, it was due also to the passive timidity of M
the parties who were supposed to uphold the State. Moreover, it should be emphasised that the process of petrifaction of our sense of duty and obedience was fundamentally due to our wholly non-national and purely State education which resulted in a confusion of the conceptions
Consciousness of duty, fulfilment of duty and obedience, are not ends in themselves any more than the State is an end in itself, but they all ought to be employed as means to facilitate and assure the existence of M
a community of people who are physically and mentally akin. At a moment when a nation is manifestly collapsing and when all outward signs show that it is on the point of becoming the victim of ruthless oppression, thanks to the conduct of a few miscreants, to obey these people and fulfil one
s appointed task is merely doctrinaire formalism, and indeed pure folly. On the other hand, refusal to obey and to
in such a case might save the nation from collapse.</p><blockquote><p>597<M
/p></blockquote><p>According to our current bourgeois idea of the State, a divisional general who received from his superior the order not to shoot fulfilled his duty and therefore acted rightly in not shooting, because, to the bourgeois mind blind obedience is more valuable than the life of a nation. But, according to the National Socialist concept it is not a sense of obedience to weak superiors that should prevail at such moments. In such an hour the duty of assuming personal responsibility towards the whole natM
ion arises. The Revolution succeeded because that concept had ceased to be a vital force with our people, or rather with our governments, and lead given place to something that was merely formal and doctrinaire. As regards the second point, it may be said that the real reason for the cowardly attitude of the parties which supported the former State was that the most active and upright section of our people had been killed during the War. Apart from that, the bourgeois parties, which may be considered as the only poM
litical formations that stood by the old State, were convinced that they ought to defend their principles only by intellectual ways and means, since the use of physical force was permitted only to the State. That outlook was a sign of the weakness and decadence which had been gradually developing, and it was also senseless at a period when there was a political adversary in the field who had long ago abandoned that standpoint and had instead openly declared that he meant to attain his political ends by force whenevM
er possible. When Marxism appeared in the world of bourgeois democracy, as a consequence of that democracy itself, the appeal sent out by the bourgeois democracy to fight Marxism with intellectual weapons was a piece of folly for which terrible expiation had to be made later on. Marxism always professed the doctrine that the choice of weapons was a matter which had to be decided from the standpoint of expediency and that success justified the choice of the weapon. This idea was proved correct during the days from NM
ovember 7th to 11th, 1918. At that time the Marxists did not bother themselves in the least about parliament or democracy, but gave the death-blow to both by turning loose their horde of criminals to shoot and raise hell. It was, therefore, only natural that the long-winded bourgeois organisations were forthwith rendered defenceless.</p><blockquote><p>598</p></blockquote><p>When the Revolution was over, the bourgeois parties changed the name of their firm and suddenly reappeared, the heroic leaders emerging from thM
e dark cellars or more airy storehouses where they had sought refuge. But, just as happens in the case of all representatives of antiquated institutions, they had not forgotten their errors or learned anything new. Their political programme was grounded in the past, even though they themselves had become reconciled to the new regime. Their aim was to secure, if possible, a share in the new institution, and so they continued to use words as their sole weapon. Therefore, after the Revolution the bourgeois parties alsM
o capitulated to the mob in a miserable fashion. When the Law for the Protection of the Republic was introduced the majority was not at first in favour of it, but, confronted with two hundred thousand Marxists demonstrating in the streets, tine bourgeois
were so terror stricken that they voted for the law against their better judgment, for the edifying reason that they feared they might otherwise be beaten up by the enraged masses on leaving the Reichstag
something which unfortunately did not occuM
r upon the law being passed. Thus, the new State developed along its own lines, as if there had been no national opposition at all. The only organisations which might at that time have had the strength and courage to face Marxism and its incited masses were, first of all, the<i>Freikorps</i>and subsequently the organisations for self-defence, the civic guards, and finally, the ex-servicemen
s association. For the following reasons the existence of these bodies did not appreciably change the course of German histoM
ry. Just as the so-called national parties were unable to take any steps since they lacked an efficient force to deal with the mob, the defence leagues were likewise unable to exert any influence because they had no political ideal and especially because they had no definite political aim in view. The success which Marxism had scored was due to perfect co-operation between political determination and ruthless force.</p><blockquote><p>599</p></blockquote><p>What prevented nationalist Germany from taking a hand in shM
aping developments was the lack of determined co-operation between brute force and inspired political aims. Whatever may have been the aspirations of the
parties, they had no force whatsoever to fight for these aspiration least of all in the streets. The power lay in the hands of the defence leagues. They were masters of the street and of the State, but they lacked political ideals and aims on behalf of which their forces could have been mobilised in the interests of the German nation. In both cases,M
the cunning Jew was able by his astute powers of persuasion, to make this unfortunate state of affairs permanent or at least to aggravate it. The Jew succeeded brilliantly in using his press for the purpose of spreading abroad the idea that the defence leagues were of a
non-political character,
just as in politics he was always astute enough to praise the
character of the struggle and demand that it must always be kept on that plane. Millions of German imbeciles then repeated this fM
olly, without having the slightest suspicion that by so doing, they were, to all practical purposes, disarming themselves and delivering themselves defenceless into the hands of the Jew. There is a natural explanation of this also. The lack of a great ideal capable of re-moulding conditions has always meant a limitation of fighting power. The conviction of the right to employ even the most brutal weapons is always associated with an ardent faith in the necessity for the triumph of a new and revolutionary order of tM
hings on this earth. A movement which does not fight for such high aims and ideals will never have recourse to extreme means. The appearance of a new and great ideal was the secret of the success of the French Revolution. The Russian Revolution owes its triumph to an ideal, and it was only the ideal that enabled Fascism to bestow on a whole nation the blessing of a complete reformation.</p><blockquote><p>600</p></blockquote><p>Bourgeois parties are not capable of such an achievement, and it was not the bourgeois paM
rties alone whose political aim was a restoration of the past. This was also the aim of the defence leagues, in so far as they concerned themselves with political aims at all. The spirit of the old war legions and Kyffh
user traditions lived on in them and thereby helped to blunt, from the political point of view, these, the sharpest weapons which nationalist Germany then possessed and to, allow them to degenerate to the level of slaves of the Republic. The fact that these leagues were inspired by the best of inteM
ntions in so doing, and certainly acted in good faith, does not alter in the slightest degree the foolishness of the course they adopted. In the consolidated Reichswehr, Marxism gradually acquired the support of force, which it needed for the exercise of its authority. As a logical consequence it proceeded to abolish the defence leagues, which it considered dangerous, declaring that they were now no longer necessary. Some particularly bold leaders who were regarded with suspicion were tried and sent to prison, but M
even so, Fate dealt with them as they deserved. With the founding of the National Socialist German Labour Party there came into being for the first time a movement whose aim, unlike that of the bourgeois parties, was not mechanically to restore the past, but to set up in place of the absurd State machinery of the present day an organic<i>v
lkisch</i>State. From the outset the new Movement took its stand on the principle that its ideas had to be propagated by intellectual means but that, when necessary, force wouldM
be employed in support of its propaganda. In accordance with their conviction of the paramount importance of the new doctrine, the leaders of the new Movement naturally believe that no sacrifice can be considered too great when it is a question of carrying out the purpose of the Movement. I have emphasised that in certain circumstances a movement which is meant to win the hearts of the people must be ready to defend itself with its own forces against terrorist attempts on the part of its adversaries.</p><blockquotM
e><p>601</p></blockquote><p>It has invariably happened in the history of the world that formal State authority has failed to break a reign of terror which was inspired by a<i>Weltanschauung</i>. It can only be overcome by a new and different<i>Weltanschauung</i>whose representatives are quite as bold and determined. Recognition of this fact has always been very unpleasant for the bureaucrats who are the protectors of the State, but the fact remains nevertheless. The rulers of the State can guarantee law and order oM
nly if the constitution coincides absolutely with the prevailing<i>Weltanschauung</i>so that disturbing elements merely assume the character of isolated criminals, instead of being considered as the champions of an ideal which is diametrically opposed to the State ideology. In the latter case the State may employ the most violent measures for centuries against the terrorism that threatens it; but in the end all these measures will prove futile, and the State will have to succumb. The German State was systematicallyM
attacked by Marxism. In a struggle that went on for seventy years the State was not able to prevent the triumph of the Marxist idea. Even though the sentences to penal servitude and imprisonment amounted in all to thousands of years, and even though the most sanguinary measures were, in innumerable instances, adopted against the champions of the Marxist<i>Weltanschauung</i>, which threatened its safety, in the end the State was forced to capitulate almost completely. The ordinary bourgeois political leaders will dM
eny all this, but in vain. The State which capitulated unconditionally to Marxism on November 9th, 1918, will not suddenly arise again to-morrow as the conqueror of Marxism
far from it! Bourgeois simpletons sitting on office stools in the various ministries babble about the necessity of not governing against the wishes of the workers and by the word
they mean the Marxists. By identifying the German worker with Marxism not only are they guilty of a vile distortion of the truth, but they are attemptiM
ng to conceal the fact of their own collapse before the Marxist idea and the Marxist organisation.</p><blockquote><p>602</p></blockquote><p>In view of the complete subordination of the present State to Marxism, the National Socialist Movement feels all the more bound, not only to prepare the way for the triumph of its ideal by appealing to the reason and understanding of the public, but also to take upon itself the responsibility of organising its own defence against the terrorism of the International, which is intM
oxicated with its own victory. I have already described how the practical experience gained by our young Movement led us slowly to organise a system of defence at our meetings. This gradually assumed the character of a military body specially trained for the maintenance of order and tended to develop into a service having its properly organised cadres. This new formation might resemble the defence leagues externally, but in reality there were no grounds of comparison between the one and the other. As I have alreadyM
said, the German defence leagues had no definite political ideas of their own. They were really only associations formed for purposes of self-defence, their training and organisation being more or less efficient so that they were an illegal complement or auxiliary to the legal forces of the State. Their<i>Freikorps</i>character arose only from the manner of their organisation and the situation in which the State found itself at that time, but they certainly could not claim to be<i>Freikorps</i>on the grounds that M
they were associations formed voluntarily and privately for the purpose of fighting for their own independent political convictions. Such they were not, despite the fact that some of their leaders and some associations as such were definitely opposed to the Republic, for before we can speak of political convictions in the higher sense, we must be something more than merely convinced that the existing regime is defective. Political convictions in the higher sense mean that a man has a clear conception and profound uM
nderstanding of the form of a new regime and feels that the establishment of this regime is an absolute necessity and one which he regards as the aim of his life
s work. The body of men organised for the preservation of order, which was then formed under the National Socialist Movement, was fundamentally different from all the other defence associations.</p><blockquote><p>603</p></blockquote><p>This was by reason of the fact that our formations were not meant in any way to defend the state of things created by thM
e Revolution, but rather that they were meant exclusively to support our struggle for the creation of a new Germany. In the beginning this body was merely a guard to maintain order at our meetings. Its first task was limited to making it possible for us to hold our meetings, which our opponents would otherwise have made completely unfeasible. These men were at that time trained to attack in blind obedience to orders but not, as was then pretended in stupid German patriotic circles, to revere the baton as the highesM
t ideal, because they were aware that the highest ideals can be brought to naught if their champion is hit over the head with a club, since it has happened not infrequently in the course of history that great men have perished under the blows of the most insignificant helots. Our body-guards did not look upon violence as an end in itself, but they protected the protagonists of ideal aims and purposes against hostile coercion by means of violence. They also understood that there was no obligation to undertake the deM
fence of a State which did not guarantee the defence of the nation, but that, on the contrary, they had to defend the nation against those who were threatening to destroy nation and State. After the fight which took place at the meeting in the M
uhaus, where the small number of our guards who were present won everlasting fame for themselves by the heroic manner in which they stormed their adversaries, these guards were called the Storm Detachment. As the name itself indicates, they represent only a M
detachment of the Movement. They form one constituent element of it, as do the press, the propaganda, scientific institutes or other sections of the Party. We learned how necessary was the formation of such a body, not only from our experience on the occasion of that memorable meeting, but also when we sought gradually to carry the Movement beyond Munich and extend it to the other parts of Germany. Once we had begun to appear as a danger to Marxism, the Marxists lost no opportunity of trying to quash beforehand allM
preparations for the holding of National Socialist meetings.</p><blockquote><p>604</p></blockquote><p>When they did not succeed in this they tried to break up the meeting itself. It goes without saying that all, the Marxist organisations, no matter of what grade, blindly supported every move and action of this nature taken by their representatives. What can be said for the bourgeois parties which, when they had been reduced to silence by these same Marxists and in many places did not dare to let their speakers appM
ear before the public, were, nevertheless, childishly and incomprehensibly delighted, every time we received any kind of set-back in our fight against Marxism? The bourgeois parties were happy to think that those whom they themselves could not oppose and to whom they had been forced to capitulate, could not be broken by us. What can be said for those State officials, chief of police, and even cabinet ministers, who showed a scandalous lack of principle in presenting themselves to the public as
d yet unashamedly played the part of henchmen to the Marxists in the disputes which we, the National Socialists, had with the latter? What can be said for persons who, for the sake of a little abject praise in the Jewish Press, debased themselves so far as to persecute those men to whose heroic courage and intervention, regardless of risk, they were partly indebted for not having been torn to pieces by the
mob a few years previously and strung up to the lamp-posts? One day these lamentable phenomena forceM
d the late but unforgotten Prefect P
hner (a man whose unflinching honesty forced him to hate all twisters and to hate them as only an honourable man can hate) to say,
All my life I wished to be first a German and then an official, and I never wanted to be taken for one of those creatures who, like prostitutes, sold themselves body and soul to anybody who could play lord and master for the time being.
It was extremely sad that gradually tens of thousands of honest and loyal servants of the State did not onlyM
come under the power of such people, but were also slowly contaminated by their unprincipled morals. Moreover, men of this kind pursued honest officials with a furious hatred, hounding them out of their jobs, while passing themselves off as
with the aid of their lying hypocrisy.</p><blockquote><p>605</p></blockquote><p>From officials of that kind we could expect no support, and only in very rare instances was it given. Only by building up its own defence could our Movement become secure and attraM
ct that amount of public attention and general respect which is given to those who can defend themselves when attacked. We decided that, as an underlying principle in the internal development of the Storm Detachment, it should not only be perfectly trained as regards physical fitness, but that the men should be so instructed as to make them indomitably convinced champions of the National Socialist ideals and, finally, that they should be schooled to observe the strictest discipline. This body was to have nothing toM
do either with the defence organisations of the bourgeois type or with any secret organisation. Even at that time my reasons for guarding strictly against allowing the Storm Detachment of the National Socialist German Labour Party, to be organised on the lines of a defence league were as follows: On purely practical grounds it is impossible to build up a national defence organisation by means of private associations, unless the State makes an enormous contribution to it. Whoever thinks otherwise over-estimates hisM
own powers. Now, it is entirely out of the question to form organisations of any military value for a definite purpose on the principle of so-called
voluntary discipline.
Here the chief support for, the enforcement of orders, namely, the power to inflict punishment, is lacking. In the autumn, or rather in the spring, of 1919 it was still possible to raise so-called<i>Freikorps</i>, not only because most of the men who came forward at that time had been through the school of the old Army, but also because theM
kind of duty imposed there constrained the individual to absolute obedience, at least for a definite period of time. That spirit is entirely lacking in the volunteer defence organisations of to-day. The larger the defence league grows, the weaker its discipline becomes and so much less can be demanded of the individual members. Thus, the whole organisation will assume more and more the character of the old non-political associations of ex-servicemen and veterans.</p><blockquote><p>606</p></blockquote><p>To attemptM
to instruct in military duties a large number of men who have volunteered to undergo such training, is impossible without the backing of absolute power to issue commands. There will always be very few men who will voluntarily and spontaneously submit to that kind of discipline which is considered natural and necessary in the Army. Moreover, a proper system of military training cannot be developed where the funds available are as ridiculously scanty as those at the disposal of the defence leagues. The principal tasM
k of such an institution must be to impart the best and most reliable kind of instruction. Eight years have passed since the end of the War, and during that time none of our German youth, at an age when formerly they would have had to do military service, have received any systematic training at all. The aim of a defence league cannot be to enlist all those who have already received a military training, since in that case it could be reckoned with mathematical accuracy when the last member would leave the league. EM
ven the youngest soldier of 1918 will not be fit for front-line service twenty years later, and we are approaching that state of affairs with a rapidity that gives cause for anxiety. Thus the defence leagues must assume more and more the aspect of the old ex-service men
s association, but that cannot be the meaning and purpose of an institution which calls itself, not an association of ex-service men but a defence league. By that title it considers its task to be to preserve the tradition of the old soldiers and M
hold them together, to propagate the idea of national defence, and be able to put this idea into practice
which means the creation of a body of men who are fit and trained for military defence. In order to fulfil this condition, it is, however, necessary that those elements receive a military training which up to now have received none. This is something that, in practice, is impossible for the defence leagues to accomplish. Real soldiers cannot be made by training men for one or two hours per week.</p><blockquotM
e><p>607</p></blockquote><p>In view of the enormously increasing demands which modern warfare imposes on each individual soldier to-day a military service of two years is barely sufficient to transform a raw recruit into a trained soldier. At the front during the War we all saw the fearful consequences which our young recruits had to suffer from their lack of a thorough military training. Volunteer formations which had been drilled for fifteen to twenty weeks under iron discipline and shown unlimited self-sacrificiM
ng enthusiasm proved nevertheless to be no better than cannon-fodder at the front. Only when distributed among the ranks of the old and experienced soldiers did the young recruits, who had been trained for four to six months, become useful members of a regiment. Guided by the
they adapted themselves gradually to their task. In the light of all this, how hopeless must be any attempt to create a body of fighting troops by a so-called training of one to two hours in the week, without any definite poM
wer to enforce commands and without sufficient means. It might be possible to give old soldiers a
of this kind, but raw recruits cannot be turned into useful soldiers in this way. How such a proceeding produces utterly worthless results may also be strikingly demonstrated by the fact that, while these so-called volunteer defence leagues, by dint of tremendous effort and after overcoming many difficulties, train, or attempt to train, a few thousand willing men (the others being beyond their reM
ach) for national defence; the State, through its pacifist-cum-democratic education, perverts the natural instincts of millions of young men, poisons their logical sense of patriotism and gradually turns them into a herd of sheep who will patiently follow any arbitrary command. In the face of all this how ridiculous are all the attempts made by defence leagues to inculcate their ideas upon the minds of the German youth! Almost more important is the following consideration, which has always made me take up a stand aM
gainst all attempts at a so-called military training on the basis of the volunteer associations.</p><blockquote><p>608</p></blockquote><p>Assuming that, in spite of all the difficulties just mentioned, a defence league were successful in training a certain number of Germans every year to be efficient soldiers, with regards to mental outlook, physical fitness and the expert handling of arms; the result must necessarily be null and void in a State whose whole tendency makes it look upon such a defensive organisation M
as undesirable and even intolerable
because such an organisation would be in complete contradiction to the secret aims of the political leaders, who are the corruptors of this State. Such a result would, in any case, be worthless under governments which have demonstrated by their own acts that they do not attach the slightest importance to the military power of the nation and are not disposed to have recourse to that power unless for the preservation of their own existence on earth. That is the state of affairs tM
o-day. Is it not ridiculous to think of training some ten thousand men in the use of arms, and to carry on that training surreptitiously, when a few years previously the State, having shamefully sacrificed eight and a half million highly trained soldiers, not merely did not require their services any longer but, as a mark of gratitude for their faithful service, held them up to public contumely? Shall we train soldiers for a regime which besmirched and spat upon our most glorious soldiers, tore the medals and badgeM
s from their breasts, trampled on their flags and derided their achievements? Has the present regime taken one step towards restoring the honour of the old Army and making those who destroyed and outraged it answer for their deeds? Not in the least. On the contrary, the people I have just referred to may be seen enthroned in the highest governmental positions to-day, and yet it was said at Leipzig,
Since, however, in our Republic to-day might is in the hands of the very men who started the RevM
olution, and since that Revolution represents a most despicable act of high treason against the nation yes the vilest act in German history
there can surely be no grounds for saying that the might of these men should be enhanced by the formation of a new young army. It is against all sound reason. The importance which this State attached, after the Revolution of 1918, to the reinforcement of its position from the military point of view is clearly and unmistakably demonstrated by its attitude towards the large selM
f-defence organisations which existed at that period.</p><blockquote><p>609</p></blockquote><p>They were not unwelcome as long as they were of use for the protection of the miserable creatures who had come into power with the Revolution. As soon as the danger threatening these creatures seemed to be on the decrease, thanks to the gradual debasement of our people, and the existence of the defence leagues represented a national-political strengthening factor, they became superfluous and every effort was made to disarM
m them and suppress them wherever that was possible. History records but few examples of gratitude on the part of princes and only a patriot belonging to the new bourgeoisie would dream of counting on the gratitude of revolutionary incendiaries and assassins, who have enriched themselves by robbing the public and by betraying the nation. On examining the problem as to the wisdom of forming these defence leagues, I could not refrain from asking:
For whom shall I train these young men? For what purpose will they bM
e employed and when are they to be called out?
The answer to these questions provides the best rule for us to follow. If the present State should one day call upon trained troops of this kind it would never be for the purpose of defending the interests of the nation against the foreigner, but rather to protect the oppressors of the nation within the country against the danger of a general outbreak of wrath on the part of a nation which has been deceived and betrayed and whose interests have been bartered away. FM
or this reason it was decided that the Storm Detachment of the National Socialist German Labour Party ought not to be in the nature of a military organisation. It had to be an instrument of protection and education for the National Socialist Movement and its duties lay in quite a different sphere to those of the military defence association. Moreover, the Storm Detachment was not to be in the nature of a secret organisation. Secret organisations are established only for purposes that are illegal, and the purpose ofM
such an organisation is limited by its very nature.</p><blockquote><p>610</p></blockquote><p>Considering the loquacious propensities of the German people, it is not possible to build up any vast organisation, at the same time keeping it secret or disguising its purpose. Every attempt of that kind is destined to turn out absolutely futile. It is not merely that our political officials to-day have at their disposal a staff of informers and other such rabble who are ready to play traitor, like Judas, for thirty pieceM
s of silver and will betray whatever secrets they can discover and will invent what they do not know, for the sake of having something to reveal, but one
s own followers cannot be relied upon to maintain the silence necessary in such circumstances. Only small groups can become really secret societies, and that only after long years of selective elimination, but the very smallness of such groups would deprive them of all value for the National Socialist Movement. What we needed then, and need now, is not one or twM
o hundred daredevil conspirators, but hundreds of thousands of devoted champions of our<i>Weltanschauung</i>. The work must not be done through secret conventicles, but through impressive mass demonstrations in public. Dagger and pistol and poison-vial cannot clear the way for the progress of the Movement; that can be done only by winning over the man in the street. We must teach the Marxists that, in future, National Socialism will be master of the street, just as it will one day become master of the State. There M
is another danger connected with secret societies, It lies in the fact that their members often completely misunderstand the greatness of the task in hand and are apt to believe that the destiny of the nation can be assured overnight by the assassination of a, single man. Such a belief may find historical justification in cases where a nation had been suffering under the tyranny of some oppressor who at the same time was a man of genius and whose extraordinary personality was the sole guarantee for the continuance M
and frightfulness of his terrible oppression. In such cases a man may suddenly arise from the ranks of the people who is ready to sacrifice himself and plunge his deadly steel into the heart of the hated individual.</p><blockquote><p>611</p></blockquote><p>In order to look upon such a deed with horror one must have the republican mentality of petty rogues conscious of their own crime, but Schiller, the greatest poet-champion of liberty that the German people have ever had, has glorified such a deed in his
During 1919 and 1920 there was a danger that the members of secret organisations, under the influence of great historical examples and overcome by the immensity of the nations misfortunes, might attempt to wreak vengeance on the destroyers of their country, in the belief that this would end the miseries of the people. All such attempts were sheer folly, by reason of the fact that the Marxist triumph was not due to the superior genius of one remarkable person, but rather to immeasurable incompetence and cM
owardly shirking on the part of the bourgeoisie. The hardest criticism that can be uttered against our bourgeoisie is simply to state the fact that it submitted to the Revolution, even though the Revolution did not produce one single man of outstanding worth. One can, after all, understand how it was possible to capitulate to a Robespierre, a Danton, or a Marat; but it was utterly scandalous to go down on all fours before the withered Scheidemann, the obese Herr Erzberger, Friedrich Ebert, and the innumerable otherM
political pygmies of the Revolution. There was not a single man of parts in whom one could see the revolutionary man of genius. Therein lay the country
s misfortune, for they were only revolutionary Spartacist vermin wholesale and retail. To put one of them out of the way was of little avail, as the only result was that another pair of blood-suckers, equally fat and thirsty, was ready to take his place. During those years we had to take up a determined stand against an attitude which had its origin and justificaM
tion in genuinely great historical phenomena, but which did not, in the least, suit our present pigmy age. The same holds good in cases where it is a question of
a so-called traitor to his country. It would be ridiculous and illogical to shoot a poor wretch who had betrayed the position of a gun to the enemy while the highest positions in the government are occupied by a rabble who bartered away a whole empire, who have on their consciences the deaths of two million men who were sacrificed in vain, feM
llows who were responsible for the millions maimed in the war, but who, nevertheless, continue unperturbed to
out of the republican regime without allowing their conscience to be disturbed in any way.</p><blockquote><p>612</p></blockquote><p>It would be absurd to do away with small traitors in a State whose government absolves traitors on a large scale from all punishment. For it might easily happen that one day an honest idealist, who, out of love for his country, had removed some miserableM
informer who had betrayed the whereabouts of secret stores of arms was called upon to answer for his act before the chief traitors of the country. There is yet another important question, namely, is some petty traitorous wretch to meet death at the bands of another petty traitor, or of an idealist? In the former case the result would be doubtful and the deed would almost surely be revealed later on. In the second case an unworthy rascal is put out of the way, but the life of an idealist who may be irreplaceable isM
placed in jeopardy. For my own part, I believe that small thieves should not be hanged while big thieves are allowed go free. One day a national tribunal will have to judge and sentence some tens of thousands of organisers who were responsible for the criminal November betrayal and all the consequences that followed on it. Such an example will teach the necessary lesson, once, and for ever, to such as those paltry traitors who revealed to the enemy the places where arms were hidden. On the grounds of these consideM
rations I steadfastly forbade all participation in secret societies, and I took care that the Storm Detachment should not assume such a character. During those years I prevented the National Socialist Movement from making experiments such as were being undertaken by young Germans who were, for the most part, inspired by a sublime idealism, but who became the victims of their own actions, without being able to ameliorate the lot of their Fatherland in the slightest degree. If, then, the Storm Detachment must not be M
either a military defence organisation or a secret society, we arrive at the following conclusion:</p><blockquote><p>613</p></blockquote><p>Firstly, its training must not be organised from the military standpoint, but from the point of view of what is most practical for party purposes. In so far as the members have to undergo a thorough physical training, attention must not be focussed mainly on military drill, but rather on the practice of sports. I have always considered boxing and ju-jitsu more important than trM
aining in rifle shooting, which, if inadequate, is definitely bad. If the German nation were presented with a body of six million young men who had been perfectly trained in athletic sports, who were imbued with an ardent love of their country and were ready to take the initiative in a fight, then the nationalist State could make an army out of that body within less than two years, if necessary, provided the cadres already existed. The situation being what it is to-day, the cadres would be furnished only by the ReiM
chswehr, and not by a defence league that was neither one thing nor the other. Physical fitness must develop in the individual a conviction of his superiority and give him that confidence which is always based only on the consciousness of one
s own prowess. It must also develop that athletic agility which can be employed as a defensive weapon in the service of the Movement. Secondly, in order to safeguard the Storm Detachment against acquiring a secret character, the uniform must not only be such that it can immeM
diately be recognised by everybody, but the large number of its members must serve as an indication of a course of action which is of advantage to the Movement and is known to the general public. The members of the Storm Detachment must not hold secret gatherings, but must march in the open and thus be employed in a manner which will put an end to all legends about a secret organisation in order to prevent them from finding an outlet for their mental energies in small conspiracies. We had from the very beginning toM
inculcate upon their minds the great idea behind the Movement and to educate them so thoroughly in the task of defending this idea that their horizon became enlarged and the individual no longer considered it his mission to
some rascal or other, whether big or small, but to devote himself entirely to the task of bringing about the establishment of a new National Socialist<i>v
lkisch</i>State.</p><blockquote><p>614</p></blockquote><p>In this way the struggle against the present State was placed on a hiM
gher plane than that of petty revenge and small conspiracies. It was elevated to the level of a spiritual struggle on behalf of a<i>Weltanschauung</i>, for the destruction of Marxism in all its shapes and forms. Thirdly, the form of organisation adopted for the Storm Detachment, as well as its uniform and equipment, had to be on a different model from those of the old Army. They had to be specially adapted to the task that was assigned to the Storm Detachment. These were the ideas I followed out in 1920 and 1921. IM
endeavoured to instil them gradually into the members of the young organisation, with the result that by the midsummer of 1922 we had a goodly number of formations each consisting of a hundred men. By the late autumn of that year these formations received their distinctive uniforms. There were three events which turned out to be of supreme importance for the subsequent development of the Storm Detachment. The first was the great mass demonstration against the Law for the Protection of the Republic held in the lateM
summer of 1922 in the Konigsplatz in Munich. The patriotic associations of Munich had announced the holding of a gigantic mass demonstration as a protest against the introduction of the Law for the Protection of the Republic. The National Socialist Movement also participated. Our Party marched into the Square, in serried ranks, led by six Munich Storm Detachment units followed by the political sections of the Party. Two bands marched with us and about fifteen banners were carried. When the National Socialists arriM
ved at the great square it was already half full, but no banners were displayed. Our arrival aroused unbounded enthusiasm. I myself had the honour of being one of the speakers who addressed that crowd of about sixty thousand people.</p><blockquote><p>615</p></blockquote><p>The demonstration was an overwhelming success, especially because it was proved for the first time that nationalist Munich could march through the streets, in spite of all threats from the Reds. Members of the organisation for the defence of the M
Red Republic endeavoured to hinder the marching columns by their terrorist activities, but they were scattered by the companies of the Storm Detachment within a few minutes and sent packing. The National Socialist Movement then showed for the first time that in future it was determined to exercise its right to march through the streets and thus deprive the international traitors and enemies of the country of their monopoly of this privilege. The events of that, day provided incontestable proof that our views on theM
creation of the Storm Detachment were right, both from the psychological standpoint and from the point of view of organisation. The principle having thus been proved correct we pushed on with the establishment of Storm Detachment units so that within a few weeks the number of Munich units was doubled. The second event was the expedition to Coburg in October 1922. Certain so-called<i>v
lkisch</i>societies had decided to hold a German Rally at Coburg. I was invited to take part, with the intimation that they wishedM
me to bring a following along. This invitation, which I received at eleven o
clock in the morning, arrived just in time. Within an hour the arrangements for our participation in the German Rally were completed. I picked eight hundred men of the Storm Detachment to accompany me. These were divided into about fourteen companies and were to be conveyed by special train from Munich to Coburg, which had become a part of Bavaria. Corresponding orders were given to other groups of the National Socialist Storm DetachmenM
t which had meanwhile been formed in various other localities. This was the first time that a special train for us was run in Germany. At all the places where the new units of the Storm Detachment joined us, our train caused a sensation.</p><blockquote><p>616</p></blockquote><p>Many of the people had never seen our banner and it created a very great impression. When we arrived at the station in Coburg we were received by a deputation of the organising committee of the German Rally. They announced that by order of tM
he local trade-unions
that is to say, the Independent and Communist Parties
that we should not enter the town with our banners unfurled and our band playing (we had a hand consisting of forty-two musicians with us) and that we should not march in formation. I immediately rejected these undignified conditions and did not fail to declare to the gentlemen who had arranged this
how astonished I was at the idea of their negotiating with such people and coming to an arrangement M
with them. Then I announced that the Storm Troops would immediately march into the town in company formation, with flags flying and band playing
which we proceeded to do forthwith. As we emerged in to the station square we were met by a hissing, yelling mob of several thousands, which greeted us with shouts of:
These were the choice names which these exemplary founders of the German Republic showered on us. The young Storm Detachment gave a fine exhiM
bition of discipline. The companies fell into formation in the square in front of the station and at first took no notice of the insults hurled at them by the mob. The police were anxious. They did not pilot us to the quarters assigned to us on the outskirts of Coburg, a city quite unknown to us, but to the Hofbr
uhaus-Keller in the centre of the town. To right and left of us as we marched the tumult raised by the accompanying mob steadily increased. Scarcely had the last company entered the courtyard of the HofbrM
uhaus when the huge mob made a rush to get in after them, shouting madly. In order to prevent this, the police locked the gates. Seeing that the position was untenable I called the Storm Detachment to attention spoke a few words to them and then asked the police to open the gates immediately.</p><blockquote><p>617</p></blockquote><p>After a good deal of hesitation; they consented. We now marched back along the same route by which we had come, in the direction of our quarters and there we had to make a stand againM
st the crowd. As their cries and yells all along the route had failed to disturb the equanimity of our companies, the champions of true Socialism, Equality, and Fraternity, now took to throwing stones. That brought our patience to an end. For ten minutes blows fell right and left, like a devastating shower of hail. Fifteen minutes later there were no Reds to be seen in the street. After nightfall serious clashes occurred. Patrols of the Storm Detachment had discovered National Socialists who had been attacked singlM
y and were in a dangerous condition. Thereupon we made short work of the opponents. By the following morning the Red Terror, under which Coburg had been suffering for years, was definitely broken. With typical Marxist and Jewish mendacity, an attempt was made by the distribution of leaflets to passers-by in the street to incite the
comrades of the International Proletariat
to demonstrate, once more in the public streets. Completely distorting the facts, they declared that our
a war of extermination against the peaceful workers of Coburg.
At half-past one that day there was to be a
great popular demonstration,
at which it was hoped that thousands of workers from the whole district would turn up. I was determined finally to crush this Red Terror and so I summoned the Storm Detachment to meet at midday. Their number had now increased to fifteen hundred. I decided to march with these men to the Coburg citadel and to cross the big square where the Red demonstration was to tM
ake place.</p><blockquote><p>618</p></blockquote><p>I wanted to see if they would attempt to assault us again. When we entered the square we found that, instead of the thousands that had been advertised, there were only a few hundred people present. As we approached, they remained silent for the most part, and some ran away. Only at certain points along the route some bodies, of Reds, who had arrived from outside the city and had not yet come to know us, attempted to start a row, but they were soon put to flight. WM
e could now observe how the town
s people, who had for such a long time been so thoroughly intimidated, slowly woke up and recovered their courage. They welcomed us openly, and in the evening, on our return march, spontaneous cheering broke out at several points along the route. At the station the railway officials informed us all of a sudden that our train would not depart. Thereupon I had some of the ringleaders told that if this were the case I would arrest all the Red Party heroes on whom we could lay our hanM
ds, that we would drive the train ourselves, but that we would take away with us, in the locomotive, on the tender and in every carriage, a few dozen disciples of international solidarity. I did not omit to let these gentry know that if we had to drive the train, the journey would undoubtedly be a very risky adventure and that we might all break our necks. It would be a consolation, however, to know that we should not go to Eternity alone, but in equality and fraternity with the Red gentry. Thereupon the train depaM
rted punctually and we arrived next morning safe and sound in Munich. Thus at Coburg, for the first time since 1914, the equality of all citizens was re-established in the eye of the law, for even if some coxcomb of a higher official should presume to assert to-day that the State protects the lives of its citizens, in those days at least it was not so. At that time the citizens had to defend themselves against the representatives of the present State. At first it was not possible fully to estimate the importance ofM
the consequences of that day. The victorious Storm Troops had their confidence in themselves considerably reinforced and also their faith in the sagacity of their leaders.</p><blockquote><p>619</p></blockquote><p>Our contemporaries began to pay us special attention and for the first time many recognised in the National Socialist Movement an institution which was in all probability destined to bring the Marxist folly to an end. Only the democrats lamented the fact that we had not had the complaisance to allow our sM
kulls to be cracked and that, in a democratic Republic, we had dared to reply to a brutal assault with fisticuffs and cudgels rather than with pacifist chants. The bourgeois press as a whole adopted, as usual, an attitude that was partly lachrymose and partly mean. Only a few decent newspapers expressed their satisfaction that in one locality at least, the Marxist street-bullies had been effectively dealt with. In Coburg itself, at least a section of the Marxist workers who must be looked upon as misled, learned frM
om the blows of National Socialist fists that they too, were workers fighting for ideals, because experience teaches that the human being fights only for something in which he believes and which he loves. The Storm Detachment itself benefited most from the Coburg expedition. It grew so quickly in numbers that at the Party Congress in January 1923, six thousand men participated in the ceremony of consecrating the flags and the first companies appeared for the first time in the glory of their new uniform. Our experieM
nce at Coburg proved how essential it was to introduce one distinctive uniform for the Storm Detachment, not only for the purpose of strengthening its<i>esprit de corps</i>, but also to avoid confusion and the danger of not recognising the opponent in a fight. Up to that time they had merely been distinguished by the armlet, but now the tunic and the well-known cap were added. The experience gained at Coburg had also another important result. We now determined to break the Red Terror in all those localities in whicM
h it had for many years prevented men of other views from holding meetings. We were determined to restore the right of free assembly. From that time onward we brought our battalions together in such places and little by little the Red citadels of Bavaria fell one after another before tie National Socialist propaganda. The Storm Troops became more and more adept at their task.</p><blockquote><p>620</p></blockquote><p>Gradually, they placed an increasingly wide gulf between themselves and the aimless defence movementM
s and established themselves as an active militant organisation, fighting for the establishment of a new German State. This logical development continued until March 1923. Then an event occurred which made me divert the Movement from the course hitherto followed and introduce certain fundamental formations. The third event was that in the first months of 1923 the French occupied the Ruhr district. The consequence of this was of great importance in the development of the Storm Detachment. It is no yet possible, nor M
would it be in the interests of the nation, to write or speak openly and freely on the subject. I shall speak of it only in so far as the matter has been dealt with in public discussions and thus brought to the knowledge of everybody. The occupation of the Ruhr district, which did not come as a surprise to us, gave grounds for hoping that Germany would at last abandon her cowardly policy of submission and thereby give the defence leagues a definite task to fulfil. The Storm Detachment, which now numbered several thM
ousand vigorous young men, would also have participated in this national service. During the spring and summer of 1923 it was transformed into a fighting military organisation. It is to this reorganisation that we must in great part attribute the later developments that took place during 1923, in so far as these affected our Movement. Elsewhere I shall deal in broad outline with the events of 1923. Here I wish only to state that the transformation of the Storm Detachment at that time was detrimental to the interestM
s of the Movement, since the condition (namely, the adoption of a policy of active resistance against France) which had led to the change, was never realised. The events which took place at the close of 1923, terrible as they may appear at first sight, were almost a necessity if looked at from a higher standpoint; because in view of the attitude taken by the Government of the German Reich, the conversion of the Storm Troops into a military force became meaningless and thus a transformation which would have proved hM
armful to the Movement was stopped forthwith. Thereby it was made possible for us to set about the task of reconstruction at the point at which we had been diverted from our proper course.</p><blockquote><p>621</p></blockquote><p>In the year 1925 the National Socialist German Labour Party was refounded and had to organise and train its Storm Detachment once again according to the principles I had laid down. It must revert, to its original sound views and must once more consider as its most essential function the esM
tablishment of its Storm Detachments as an instrument of defence and strength in the Movement
s struggle to establish its<i>Weltanschauung</i>and once more it must consider it as its most essential task to function as the instrument of defence and reinforcement in the spiritual struggle to establish the ideals of the Movement. The Storm Detachment must not be allowed to sink to the level of something in the nature of a defence league or a secret society. Steps must rather be taken to make it a force one hundred tM
housand strong to act as champion of the National Socialist, and thus of the genuinely<i>v
lkisch</i>ideal.</p><blockquote><p>622</p></blockquote><blockquote><p>623</p></blockquote><blockquote><p>624</p></blockquote><h1 id="chapter-x-the-mask-of-federalism">CHAPTER X: THE MASK OF FEDERALISM</h1><p>In the winter of 1919, and still more in the spring and summer of 1920, the young Party felt bound to take up a definite stand on a question which had already become serious during the War. In the first volume of this boM
ok I have briefly recorded certain facts which I had personally witnessed, and which foreboded the break-up of Germany. In describing these facts I made reference to the special nature of the Propaganda which was directed by the English as well as by the French towards reopening the breach that had existed between North and South in Germany. In the spring of 1915 there appeared the first of a series of leaflets, the aim of which was to arouse feeling against Prussia as being solely responsible for the War. By 1916 M
this kind of propaganda had been developed and perfected in a mariner that was as cunning as it was poisonous. Appealing to the basest of human instincts, this propaganda endeavoured to arouse the wrath of the South Germans against the North Germans and after a short time it bore fruit. Persons who were then in high positions in the Government and in the Army, especially those attached to the headquarters of the Bavarian divisions, merited the just reproof of having blindly neglected their duty and failed to take tM
he necessary definite steps to counter such propaganda, but nothing was done. On the contrary, it did not appear to be wholly unwelcome in some quarters and probably they were short-sighted enough to think that such propaganda would not only put an end to the movement towards unification in Germany, but that it might even automatically serve to strengthen the federative states. Scarcely ever in the course of history has such wicked neglect called down a more severe retribution.</p><blockquote><p>625</p></blockquoteM
><p>The weakening of Prussia, which, it was hoped, would result from this propaganda, affected the whole of Germany. It served to hasten the collapse which not only wrecked Germany as a whole, but primarily the federal states. The Revolution first broke out in the city in which the artificially created hatred against Prussia raged most violently and, as elsewhere, it took the form of revolt against the reigning House. It would be a mistake to think that the enemy propaganda was exclusively responsible for creating M
an anti-Prussian feeling and that there was no excuse for the people for having listened to this propaganda. The incredible fashion in which our national economy was administered during the War through an absolutely crazy system of centralisation by means of which the whole Reich territory was brought under its control and exploited, furnished the principal grounds for the growth of anti-Prussian feeling. The average citizen looked upon the companies formed for the collection and distribution of war-time supplies, M
all of which had their headquarters in Berlin, as identical with Berlin, and Berlin itself as identical with Prussia. The average citizen did not realise that the organisation of these robber companies, which were called war-companies, was not in the hands of either Berlin or Prussia or even in German hands at all. People recognised only the gross irregularities and the continual encroachments perpetrated by that hated institution in the metropolis of the Reich and directed their anger against Berlin and Prussia, aM
ll the more because in certain quarters nothing was done to correct this attitude, but it was even welcomed with silent satisfaction. The Jew was far too shrewd not to understand that the infamous campaign which he had organised, under the disguise of war-companies, for plundering the German nation must eventually arouse opposition. As long as that opposition was not directed against himself he had no reason to be afraid. Hence he decided that the best way of forestalling an outbreak of hatred against himself on thM
e part of the enraged and desperate masses was to direct their wrath against someone else and thus to allow it to burn itself out. Let Bavaria quarrel as much as it liked with Prussia and Prussia with Bavaria! The more bitter the strife between the two states, the greater the security of the Jew.</p><blockquote><p>626</p></blockquote><p>Thus public attention was completely diverted from the international maggot in the body of the nation; indeed it seemed to have been forgotten. Then when there appeared to be a dangM
er that level-headed people, of whom there were many even in Bavaria, called for reflection and the exercise of restraint, thus calming the rage against Prussia, so that the bitter struggle threatened to peter out, all the Jew in Berlin had to do was to stage a fresh provocation and await results. Immediately all those profiting by the conflict between North and South hailed such an incident with delight and again fanned the flame of indignation until it became a blaze. It was a shrewd and expert manoeuvre on the pM
art of the Jew, to set the different branches of the German people quarrelling among themselves, so that their attention was turned away from himself and he could exploit them all the more completely. Then came the Revolution. Until the year 1918, or rather until the November of that year, the average German citizen, particularly the less educated lower middle classes and the workers, did not rightly understand what was happening and did not realise what must be the inevitable consequences, especially for Bavaria, M
of this internecine strife between the various branches of the German people. Those sections of the people who called themselves
ought to have clearly perceived these consequences on the day on which the Revolution broke out, for the moment the<i>coup d
etat</i>had succeeded, the leader and organiser of the Revolution came forward in Bavaria as the defender of
interests. The international Jew Kurt Eisner, began to play off Bavaria against Prussia. This Oriental was the last person inM
the world fitted to defend the interests of Bavaria, since in following his profession as a newspaper reporter, he had wandered from place to place all over Germany, and of all the world, Bavaria was the place which interested him least. In deliberately giving the revolutionary rising in Bavaria the character of an offensive against the rest of the Reich, Kurt Eisner was not by any means acting from the standpoint of Bavarian interests, but merely as the authorised representative of Jewry.</p><blockquote><p>627</pM
></blockquote><p>He exploited existing instincts and antipathies in Bavaria as a means of facilitating the dismemberment of Germany. Once dismembered, the Reich would fall an easy prey to Bolshevism. The tactics employed by him were continued for a time after his death. The Marxists, who had always derided the individual German states and their princes, now suddenly appealed, as an
, to those sentiments and instincts which had their strongest roots in the houses of the reigning princes and inM
the individual states. The fight waged by the Bavarian Soviet Republic against the military contingents that were sent to free Bavaria from its grasp was represented by the Marxist propagandists as being primarily the Bavarian workers
Prussian militarism.
This explains why it was that the Soviet Republic in Munich did not have the same effect there as in the other German districts. Instead of recalling the masses to a sense of reason, it led to increased bitterness and anger against PruM
ssia. The art of the Bolshevist agitators, in representing the suppression of the Bavarian Soviet Republic as a victory of
people of Bavaria, bore rich fruit. Whereas at the elections for the Bavarian Legislative Diet in Munich, Kurt Eisner did not have ten thousand followers and the Communist Party less than three thousand, after the fall of the Bavarian Republic, the two parties together could reckon on nearly one hundred thousand voM
ting in their favour. It was at this time that I began my own struggle against the folly of inciting one branch of the German people against the other. I believe that never in my life did I undertake a more unpopular task than I did when I took my stand against the anti-Prussian agitation. During the Soviet regime in Munich great public meetings were held at which hatred against the rest of Germany, but particularly against Prussia, was roused to such a pitch that a North German would have risked his life in attendM
ing one of those meetings. These meetings often ended in wild shouts of
War against Prussia,
and so on. This feeling was openly expressed in the Reichstag by a particularly brilliant defender of Bavarian sovereign rights, when he said:
Rather let us die Bavarians than rot as Prussians.
</p><blockquote><p>628</p></blockquote><p>Only those who attended some of the meetings held at that time can realise what it implied for me personally, when, for the first timM
e and surrounded by only a handful of friends, I raised my voice against this folly at a meeting held in the M
nchener Lowenbrau-Keller. My war comrades stood by me then. It is easy to imagine how we felt when we were howled at and threatened by a raging crowd, which was beyond all control and composed of men who, while we had been defending our country, had for the most part been deserters and shirkers skulking in billets behind the lines or at home. It is true that such episodes turned out to be of advantage to M
me. My small band of comrades felt for the first time absolutely united with me and readily swore to stand by me to the death. These clashes, which were constantly repeated throughout the year 1919, seemed to become more violent soon after the beginning of 1921. There were meetings I remember especially one in the Wagnersaal in the Sonnenstrasse in Munich, during the course of which my group, now grown much larger, had to defend itself against assaults of the most violent character. It happened more than once that M
dozens of my followers were manhandled, thrown to the floor and stamped upon by the attackers and were finally thrown out of the hall more dead than alive. The struggle upon which I had embarked, first on my own, and supported only by my war-comrades, was now continued by the young Movement, I might say almost as a sacred mission. I am proud of being able to say to-day that we-depending almost exclusively on our followers in Bavaria-were responsible for putting an end, slowly but surely, to the coalition of folly aM
because, although convinced that the masses who joined in it meant well but were stupid, I cannot consider such simplicity as an extenuating circumstance in the case of the organisers and their abettors. I looked upon them then, and still look upon them to-day, as traitors in the pay of France. In one case, that of Dorten, history has already pronounced judgment.</p><blockquote><p>629</p></blockquote><p>The situation became specially dangerous at that time by reason of the M
fact that they were very astute in their ability to cloak their real tendencies, by insisting primarily on their federative intentions and claiming that these were the sole motives for their actions. Of course, it is quite obvious that the agitation against Prussia had nothing to do with federalism. Surely
is not the phrase with which to describe an effort to dissolve and dismember another federal state, for an honest federalist (in whom it is not hypocrisy to quote the formula used by BismM
arck to define his idea of the Reich) could not in the same breath express the desire to cut off portions of the Prussian State, which was created or at least completed by Bismarck, nor could he publicly support such a separatist attempt. What an outcry would have been raised in Munich if some Prussian conservative party had declared itself in favour of detaching Franconia from Bavaria, or had publicly demanded or taken steps to promote such a separatist policy. Nevertheless, one cannot but feel sympathy for the geM
nuine federalists who did not see through this infamous swindle, for they were its principal victims. By distorting the federalist idea in such a way, its own champions prepared its grave. One cannot make propaganda for a federal form of government within the Reich by debasing, abusing and besmirching the essential element of such a political structure, namely Prussia, and thus making such a state impossible as a member of the federation. It is all the more, incredible by reason of the fact that the fight carried oM
n by those so-called federalists was directed against that section of the Prussian people which was the last that could be regarded as being connected with the November democracy. For the abuse and attacks of these so-called federalists were not levelled against the authors of the Weimar Constitution
the majority of whom were South Germans or Jews
but against those who represented the old conservative Prussia, which was the antithesis of the Weimar Constitution. The fact that those who directed this campaign weM
re careful not to touch the Jews is not to be wondered at and perhaps gives the key to the whole riddle.</p><blockquote><p>630</p></blockquote><p>Before the Revolution, the Jew was successful in distracting attention from himself and his war-companies by inciting the masses, and especially the Bavarians, against Prussia; similarly, he felt obliged, after the Revolution, to find some way of camouflaging his new marauding campaign, the scope of which had increased tenfold. Again he succeeded, in this case by provokinM
elements in Germany against one another
the conservative Bavarians against the Prussians, who were just as conservative. He acted again with extreme cunning, inasmuch as he, who held the destiny of Germany in his hands, was behind acts of provocation so crude and tactless that the victims became incensed again and again
never against the Jew, but always against their own fellow-Germans. The Bavarian did not see the Berlin of four million industrious and efficient working people, bM
ut only the lazy and decadent Berlin which haunts the worst quarters of the West End, and yet antipathy was not directed against the West End of Berlin but against the
city. I was often driven to despair. The ability which the Jew displays in turning public attention away from himself and directing it elsewhere can be observed at the present time. In 1918 there was nothing like an organised anti-Semitic feeling. I still remember the difficulties we encountered the moment we mentioned the word Jew. WeM
were either confronted with dumb-struck faces or else met with lively antagonism. The efforts we made at the time to point out to the public its real enemy seemed to be doomed to failure, but then things began to change for the better, though only very slowly. The<i>Schutz and Trutzbund</i>(Watch and Ward League) was defectively organised, but at least it had the great merit of opening up the Jewish question once again. In the winter of 1918
1919 a kind of anti-Semitism slowly began to take root. Later on, the NM
ational Socialist Movement presented the Jewish problem in a new light.</p><blockquote><p>631</p></blockquote><p>Taking the question beyond the restricted circles of the upper classes and small bourgeoisie we succeeded in transforming it into the vital motive of a great popular movement, but the moment we were successful in placing this problem before the German people in the light of an idea that would unite them in one struggle, the Jew reacted. He resorted to his old tactics. With amazing alacrity lie, sowed theM
seeds of discord within the<i>v
lkisch</i>movement itself and started a rift there. The raising of the ultramontane question and the resulting quarrels between Catholic and Protestant presented, under the conditions then prevailing, the only possibility of diverting public attention to other matters and staving off a concentrated attack upon the Jews. The men who dragged our people into this controversy can never make amends for the crime they then committed against the nation. Anyhow, the Jew has attained his enM
ds. Catholics and Protestants are fighting one another to their heart
s content, while the enemy of Aryan humanity and of all Christendom is laughing up his sleeve. Just as it was once possible to occupy the attention of the public for several years with the struggle between federalism and unification, wearing out its energy in this mutual friction, while the Jew trafficked in the freedom of the nation and sold our country to the masters of international high finance
so in our day he has succeeded again, this tM
ime by raising strife between the two German religious denominations, while the foundations on which both rest are being eaten away and destroyed through the poison injected by international and cosmopolitan Jewry. Look at the injuries which our people are suffering daily as a result of being contaminated with Jewish blood. Bear in mind the fact that this poisonous contamination can be eliminated from the national body only after the lapse of centuries, if ever. Think further of how the process of racial degeneratiM
on is debasing and in some cases even destroying the fundamental Aryan qualities of our German people, so that our cultural creative ability as a nation is gradually decreasing and we are running the danger, at least in our great cities, of sinking to the level on which Southern Italy is to-day.</p><blockquote><p>632</p></blockquote><p>This pestilential adulteration of the blood, of which hundreds of thousands of our people take no account, is being systematically practised by the Jew to-day. Systematically these SM
warthy parasites within our national body corrupt our innocent fair-haired girls and thus destroy something which can never be replaced in this world. The two Christian denominations look on with indifference at the profanation and destruction of a noble and unique creature who was given to the world as a gift of God
s grace. As regards the future of the world, it does not matter which of the two triumphs, the Catholic or the Protestant faith, but it does matter whether Aryan humanity survives or perishes. Yet thM
e two Christian denominations are not contending against the destroyer of Aryan humanity, but are trying to destroy one another. It is the sacred duty, particularly of those who adopt a patriotic attitude, to see to it that within the framework of their own particular denomination, they do not render mere lip-service to God, but actually fulfil the Will of God and do not allow His handiwork to be debarred, for it was by the Will of God that man was created in a certain image and endowed with certain characteristicsM
and certain faculties. Whoever destroys His work, wages war against God
s will. Therefore, everyone should endeavour, each in his own denomination, of course, and should consider it as his first and most solemn duty, to hinder any and every one whose conduct tends, either by word or deed, to overstep the limits of his own religious community and to raise a quarrel with those of another denomination. For, in view of the religious schism that exists in Germany, to attack the essential characteM
ristics of one denomination must necessarily lead to a war of extermination between the two Christian denominations. There can be no comparison between our position and that of France, Spain or Italy. In those three countries one may, for instance, make propaganda for the side that is fighting against clericalism or ultramontanism, without thereby incurring the danger of a national rift among the French, Spanish or Italian people.</p><blockquote><p>633</p></blockquote><p>In Germany, however, that cannot be done, foM
r here the Protestants would also take part in such a movement and thus the defence, which elsewhere only Catholics organise against clerical interference by their own prelates in political matters, would assume with us the character of a Protestant attack against Catholicism. What may be tolerated by the faithful belonging to one denomination even when it seems unjust to them, will at once be indignantly rejected and opposed on<i>a priori</i>grounds if it should come from the militant leaders of another denominatiM
on. This is so true that even men who might be ready and willing to fight for the removal of manifest grievances within their own religious denomination will drop their own fight and turn their activities against the outsider, the moment the abolition of such grievances is counselled or demanded by one who is not of the same faith. They consider it unjustifiable, inadmissible and incorrect for outsiders to meddle in matters which do not concern them. Such attempts are not excusable even when they are inspired by a M
feeling for the supreme interests of the national community, because even in our day religious sentiment still has deeper roots than all feeling for political and national expediency. This cannot be changed by setting one denomination against another in bitter conflict. It can be changed only if, through a spirit of mutual tolerance, the nation can be assured of a future, the greatness of which will gradually operate as a conciliating factor in the sphere of religion also. I have no hesitation in saying with regardM
to those men who to-day seek to embroil the<i>v
lkisch</i>movement in religious quarrels, that they are worse enemies of my country than any internationally-minded Communist. The National Socialist Movement has set itself the task of converting those Communists, but anyone who goes outside the ranks of his own movement and tends to divert it from the fulfilment of its mission, is acting in a manner that deserves the severest condemnation. He is acting as a champion of Jewish interests, whether consciously or uncoM
nsciously does not matter, for it is to the interest of the Jews to-day that the energies of the<i>v
lkisch</i>movement should be frittered away in a religious conflict, because it is beginning to be dangerous for the Jews. I have purposely used the phrase about
the energies of the movement, because no one but he who is entirely ignorant of history could imagine that this movement can to-day solve a question which the greatest statesmen have tried for centuries to solve, and tried in vain.</pM
><blockquote><p>634</p></blockquote><p>Anyhow, the facts speak for themselves. The men who suddenly discovered in 1924, that the highest mission of the<i>v
lkisch</i>movement was to fight ultramontanism, have not succeeded in smashing it, but they did succeed in splitting the<i>v
lkisch</i>movement. I have to guard against some immature brain in the<i>v
lkisch</i>movement thinking that it can accomplish what even a Bismarck failed to do. It will always be one of the first duties of those who are directing the NaM
tional Socialist Movement to oppose unconditionally any attempt to place the National Socialist Movement at the service of such a conflict. Anybody who conducts propaganda with that end in view must be expelled forthwith from its ranks. As a matter of fact, we succeeded until the autumn of 1923 in keeping our Movement aloof from such controversies. The most devout Protestant could stand side by side with the most devout Catholic in our ranks, secure in the knowledge that his religious convictions would be respectedM
. The bitter struggle which both waged in common against the wrecker of Aryan civilisation taught them mutual respect and esteem; and it was, moreover, just at that time that our Movement had to engage in a bitter strife with the Centre Party not on religious grounds, but on national, racial, political and economic issues. The success we then achieved showed that we were right, and it speaks against those who to-day think they know better. In recent years things have gone so far that<i>v
lkisch</i>circles, in the M
godforsaken blindness of their religious strife, could not recognise the folly of their conduct even in the light of the fact that atheist Marxist newspapers advocated the cause of one religious denomination or the other, according as it suited them
so as to inculpate now the one party and now the other by the repetition of remarks which were often incredibly foolish, thus fanning the fire to keep the blaze at its highest. To a people like the Germans, whose history, has so often shown them capable of fighting foM
r phantoms to the point of complete exhaustion, every slogan of this kind is a mortal danger.</p><blockquote><p>635</p></blockquote><p>By these slogans the attention of our people has too often been diverted from the real problems affecting their very existence. While we were exhausting our energies in religious wars, other countries were acquiring their share of the world, and while the<i>v
lkisch</i>movement is debating with itself whether the ultramontane danger be greater than the Jewish, or vice versa, the JeM
w is destroying the racial basis of our existence and thereby annihilating our people. As regards that kind of<i>v
lkisch</i>champion, I pray with all my heart on behalf of the National Socialist Movement and therefore of the German people,
Lord, preserve us from such friends, that we can more easily deal with our enemies.
The controversy over federation and unification, so cunningly propagated by the Jews in 1919
1920 and thereafter, forced National Socialism, which repudiated the quarrel, to take up a deM
finite attitude in relation to the essential problems bound up with it. Ought Germany to be a federated or a united State? What is the practical significance of these terms? To me it seems that the second question is more important than the first, because it is fundamental to the understanding of the whole problem and also because the answer to it may help to clear up confusion and therefore have a conciliating effect. What is a federation of states? By a federation of states we mean a union of sovereign states whiM
ch, of their own free will, and by virtue of their sovereignty come together and create a collective unit, ceding to that unit as much of their own sovereign rights as will render the existence of the union possible and will guarantee it. The theoretical formula is not put wholly into practice by any federation of states that exists to-day, least of all by the American Union, where it is impossible to speak of original sovereignty in regard to the majority of the states.</p><blockquote><p>636</p></blockquote><p>ManM
y of them were not included in the federal complex until long after it had been established. The states that make up the American Union are mostly in the nature of greater or smaller territories, limited for technical administrative purposes, their boundaries having in many cases been fixed in the mapping office. Originally, these states did not and could not possess sovereign rights of their own, since they did not combine to form the Union, but it was, on the contrary, the Union which created a number of these soM
-called states. Therefore the sovereign rights, often very comprehensive, which were left, or rather granted, to the various territories, correspond not only to the whole character of the Confederation, but also to its vast area, which is almost equivalent to the size of a continent. Consequently, in speaking of the United States of America one must not consider them as sovereign states, but as states enjoying certain rights, or perhaps one ought to say powers, which have been granted to them and guaranteed under tM
he constitution. Nor does our definition adequately express the condition of affairs in Germany, although it is true that in Germany the individual states existed as states before the Reich and that the Reich was formed from them. The Reich, however, was not formed by the voluntary and equal co-operation of the individual states, but rather because the state of Prussia gradually acquired a position of hegemony over the others. The difference in territorial area alone precludes any comparison between the German statM
es and the American Union. The great difference in territorial area between the very small German states which then existed and the larger, and, in a still more pronounced degree, the largest, demonstrates the inequality of their achievements and shows that they could not have played an equal part in founding the Reich and in shaping the federal Empire. In the case of most of these individual states it cannot be maintained that they ever enjoyed real sovereignty, unless we choose to regard the phrase
as being merely an official designation. As a matter of fact, not only developments in the past, but also in our own time wiped out several of these so-called
and thus proved in the most definite way how frail these structures were.</p><blockquote><p>637</p></blockquote><p>I cannot deal here with the historical question of how these individual states came to be established, but I must call attention to the fact that hardly in any case did their frontiers coincide with the ancestral trM
ibal frontiers of their inhabitants. They were purely political phenomena which for the most part emerged during the darkest period in the history of the German Empire and they represented both cause and effect in that, process of exhaustion and partition of our Fatherland. The constitution of the old Reich took all this into account, at least to a certain degree, in so far as the individual states were not accorded equal representation in the Federal Council, but a representation proportionate to their respective M
areas, their actual importance and the role which they played in the formation of the Reich. Only in very few cases can it be asserted that the sovereign rights which the individual states renounced in order to render possible the foundation of the Reich were ceded voluntarily, since, for the most part, they did not exist in reality. In other instances they were simply done away with under the pressure exerted by the more powerful Prussia. The principle followed by Bismarck was not, to give to the Reich what he couM
ld take from the individual states, but to demand from the individual states only what was absolutely necessary for the Reich. A moderate and wise policy! On the one, hand, Bismarck showed the greatest regard for customs and traditions; on the other hand his policy secured for the new Reich, from its foundation onwards, a great measure of love and willing co-operation. It would, however, be a fundamental error to attribute Bismarck
s decision to any conviction on his part that the Reich had thus acquired such rigM
hts of sovereignty as would suffice for all time. That was far from being Bismarck
s idea. On the contrary, he wished to leave it to the future to settle what would be difficult to carry through at the moment and might not have been readily agreed to by the individual states. He trusted to the levelling effect of time and to the pressure exercised by the process of evolution, the steady action of which appeared to him more effective than an attempt to break the resistance which the individual states offered at thM
e moment.</p><blockquote><p>638</p></blockquote><p>By adopting this policy, he showed his mastery of the art of statesmanship. As a matter of fact, the sovereignty of the Reich has continually increased at the cost of the sovereignty of the individual states. The passing of time has achieved what Bismarck hoped it would. The German collapse and the abolition of the monarchical form of government necessarily hastened this development. The German federal states, which had not been grounded on ethnological foundationsM
, but arose rather out of political conditions, were bound to lose their importance the moment the monarchical form of government and the dynasties connected with it were abolished. For it was to the spirit inherent in these that the individual states owed their political origin and development. Thus deprived of their internal raison d
tre, many of these petty states renounced all right to survival and were induced for purely practical reasons to fuse with their neighbours, or else they joined the more powerfulM
states of their own free will. This proved in a striking manner low extraordinarily frail was the actual sovereignty these small states enjoyed, and it proved too, how lightly they were esteemed by their own citizens. Though the abolition of the monarchical regime and its representatives had dealt the federal character of the Reich a hard blow, still more destructive, from the federal point of view, was the acceptance of the obligations that resulted from the
treaty. It was only natural and logical thaM
t the federal states should lose all sovereign control over their finances, the moment the Reich, in consequence of a lost war, was subjected to financial obligations which could never have been met by means of individual agreements concluded with the individual states. The subsequent steps which led the Reich to take over the postal services and railways were the inevitable result of the enslavement of our people which had begun with the peace treaties. The Reich was forced to obtain sole possession of more and moM
re resources, in order to be in a position to meet the obligations resulting from increased extortion.</p><blockquote><p>639</p></blockquote><p>The form in which the powers of the Reich were thus extended to embrace the federal states was often ridiculously stupid, but in itself the procedure was logical and natural. The blame for this must be laid at the door of those men and those parties that failed in the hour of need to concentrate all their energies in an effort to bring the War to a victorious issue. The guiM
lt lies with those parties which, especially in Bavaria, catered for their own egotistic interests during the War, and refused to the Reich what the Reich had to requisition in a tenfold greater measure when the War was lost. The retribution of history! Rarely has the vengeance of Heaven followed so closely on the crime, as it did in this case. Those same parties which, a few years previously, placed the interests of their own states
especially in Bavaria
before those of the Reich, had now to look on passively M
while the pressure of events forced the Reich, in its own interests, to abolish the existence of the individual states. They were the victims of their own defaults. It is an unparalleled act of hypocrisy to complain to the electorate (for it is only to the electorate that our contemporary parties address their propaganda) of the loss suffered by the individual states in being deprived of certain of their sovereign powers, while, at the same time, these self-same parties vied with each other in pursuing a policy of M
favouring the fulfilment of the Versailles obligations
a policy of which the final outcome will be a profound alteration in the internal structure of the Reich. Bismarck
s Reich was free and unhampered by any obligations towards the outside world. Bismarck
s Reich never had to shoulder such heavy and entirely unproductive obligations as those imposed on Germany under the Dawes Plan. Even at home the authority of Bismarck
s Reich was confined to dealing with only a few absolutely essential matters. It was, tM
herefore, possible for the Reich to dispense with the necessity for financial control over the federal states and to live on their contributions. It goes without saying that, on the one hand, the preservation of certain of their sovereign rights and, on the other, the relatively small financial tribute which the federal states had to pay to the Reich induced them to welcome its existence.</p><blockquote><p>640</p></blockquote><p>But it is untrue and unfair to state now, as certain propagandists do that the federal M
states were antagonistic to the Reich merely because of their financial subjection to it. That is not the true state of affairs. The lack of sympathy for the political idea embodied in the Reich is not due to the loss of sovereign rights on the part of the individual states. It is much more the result of the deplorable fashion in which the present regime acts as the representative of the German people. Despite all the celebrations in honour of the national flag and the constitution, the present Reich has failed to M
arouse the enthusiasm of any section of the people and the Law for the Protection of the Republic may prevent outrages against republican institutions, but it will not gain the devotion of one single German. The excessive care displayed by the Republic in attempting to protect itself against its own citizens by means of laws and sentences of imprisonment, constitutes the most damning and most humiliating criticism of all republican institutions as such. For yet another reason it is untrue to say, as certain partiesM
do to-day, that the waning popularity of the Reich is due to its encroachment upon certain sovereign rights which the individual states had heretofore enjoyed. Supposing the Reich had not extended its authority over the individual states, there is no reason to believe that it would find more favour among those states, if the general obligations remained as heavy as they now are. On the contrary, if the individual states to-day had to pay contributions to the amount required by the Reich in order to fulfil the provM
isions of the dictates designed to reduce Germany to slavery, the hostility towards the Reich would be infinitely greater. For then not only would it prove difficult to collect the respective contributions due to the Reich from the federal states, but coercive methods would have to be employed in making the collections. The Republic, having accepted the peace treaties and having neither the courage nor the intention to break them, must reckon with the obligations which the peace treaties have imposed on it.</p><bloM
ckquote><p>641</p></blockquote><p>The responsibility for this situation lies solely with those parties who preach unceasingly to the patient electoral masses the necessity of maintaining the autonomy of the federal states, while at the same time they advocate and demand that the Reich should pursue a policy which must necessarily lead to the suppression of even the very last of those so-called
because the present Reich has no other possible means of bearing the burdenM
of charges which an insane domestic and foreign policy have laid on it. The wedge is being driven ever deeper and every new debt which the Reich contracts, through the criminal way in which the interests of Germany are represented<i>vis-<b>
</b>-vis</i>foreign countries, necessitates the exertion of fresh and stronger pressure at home. This again entails the progressive abolition of all the sovereign rights of the individual states in order to prevent the germs of opposition from becoming active or even from comiM
ng into being. The chief characteristic difference between the policy of the present Reich and that of former times lies in this: The old Reich gave freedom to its people at home and showed itself strong towards the outside world, whereas the Republic shows itself weak towards the foreigner and oppresses its own citizens at home. In both cases one attitude determines the other. A vigorous national state does not need to make many laws for the interior, because of the affection and loyalty of its citizens. The interM
national servile state can live only by coercing its citizens to render it the services it demands, and it is a piece of impudence for the present regime to speak of
They existed only in the Germany that is gone. The present Republic is a colony of slaves at the beck and call of the foreigner. At best it has subjects, but not citizens. Hence it does not possess a national emblem, but only a trade mark, introduced and protected by official decrees and legislative measures. This symbol, which is M
s cap of German Democracy, will always remain alien to our people. The Republic having no sense of tradition or respect for past greatness, dragged the emblem of the past in the mire, but it will be surprised to discover one day how superficial is the devotion of its subjects to their own emblems.</p><blockquote><p>642</p></blockquote><p>The Republic has given itself the character of an intermezzo in German history. This State is bound to restrict the sovereign rights of the individual states more andM
more, not only for general reasons of a financial character, but also on principle, for by enforcing a policy of financial blackmail. In order to squeeze the last ounce of substance out of its people, it is forced also to deprive them of their last remaining rights, lest the general discontent may one day flare up into open rebellion. We National Socialists would reverse this formula and would adopt the following fundamental principle: A strong national Reich which in its foreign policy represents and protects theM
interests of its citizens in the highest possible degree can allow freedom to reign at home without trembling for the safety of the State. On the other hand, a strong national government can encroach to a considerable degree on the liberties of the individual subject as well as on the liberties of the constituent states without thereby weakening the ideal of the Reich; and it is justified in so doing, if in these particular acts and measures the individual citizen recognises a means of promoting the prestige of thM
e nation as a whole. It is a fact that the tendency in every state throughout the world is towards uniformity, and Germany will prove no exception in this respect. Even to-day it is absurd to talk of the sovereignty of individual states because this has already become impossible on account of the ridiculously small size of so many of these states. In the sphere of commerce, as well as in that of administration, the importance of the individual states has been steadily decreasing. Modern means of communication and mM
echanical progress have gradually reduced distance and space. What was once a state is to-day only a province and the territory covered by a modern state had once the importance of a continent. The purely technical difficulties connected with the administration of a State like Germany are not greater than those connected with the government of a province like Brandenburg a hundred and twenty years ago. To-day it is easier to cover the distance from Munich to Berlin than it was to cover the distance from Munich to SM
tarnberg a hundred years ago.</p><blockquote><p>643</p></blockquote><p>Thanks to modern means of transport, the whole territory of the Reich to-day is smaller than that of certain German federal states at the time of the Napoleonic wars. To close one
s eyes to the consequences of these facts is to live in the past. There always were, there are, and always will be, men who do this. They may retard, but they cannot stop the wheels of history. We National Socialists must not close our eyes to the logical consequenceM
s of these facts. Here again we must not permit ourselves to be misled by the hollow phrases of our so-called national bourgeois parties. I say
because these same parties do not seriously believe that it is possible for them to carry out their proposals, and because they themselves are chiefly responsible for the present state of affairs. Especially in Bavaria, the demand for de-centralisation is no more than a party move behind which there is no serious resolve. Whenever these parties had to M
pass from the realm of phrase-making into that of practical deeds they failed miserably. On every occasion on which the Reich
the Bavarian State
of sovereign rights,
it met with no real resistance apart from a senseless and revolting outcry. Indeed, when anyone seriously opposed the madness that was shown in carrying out this system of centralisation he was condemned by those same parties as disloyal to the present State. They slandered, condemned and persecuted him until he was either shut up inM
prison or illegally deprived of the right of public speech. These facts should serve to convince our followers of the profound hypocrisy which characterizes these so-called federalist circles. To a certain extent they use the federalist doctrine just as they use religion-merely as a means of promoting their own base party interests. A certain uniformity, especially in the field of transport appears logical. But we National Socialists feel it our duty to oppose with all our might such a development in the modem StaM
te, especially when the measures proposed are solely for the purposes of screening and rendering possible a disastrous foreign policy.</p><blockquote><p>644</p></blockquote><p>Just because the present Reich has undertaken the nationalisation of the railways, the postal and telegraph services, the finances, etc., not from the elevated standpoint of national politics, but in order to have in its hands the means and security for the execution of a policy of unrestricted fulfilment of its pledges, we National SocialistM
s must take every step that seems suitable to obstruct and, if possible, to prevent such a policy. We must fight against the present system of centralising institutions that are vitally important for the existence of our people, because this system is being adopted solely to facilitate the payment of milliards and the transference of pledges to the foreigner in accordance with our post-war foreign policy. For this reason the National Socialist Movement has to take up a stand against any such attempt. A second reasoM
n why we must oppose such centralisation is because in domestic affairs it helps to reinforce a system of government which in all its manifestations has brought the greatest misfortunes on the German nation. The present Jewish-Democratic Reich, which has become a veritable curse to the German people, is seeking to negate the force of the criticism offered by all the federal states which have not yet become imbued with the spirit of the age, and is trying to carry out this policy by reducing them to complete insigniM
ficance. We National Socialists, on the other hand, have every reason for attempting not only to establish the opposition of those individual states on the basis of a constitutional force which promises to be successful, but to make their struggle against centralisation as a whole the expression of higher national German interests in a wide sense. Therefore, while the Bavarian People
s Party, acting from its own narrow and particularist standpoint, fights to maintain the
of the Bavarian stateM
, we must utilise this particular attitude in the service of higher national interests which are at variance with those of the November Democracy. A third reason for opposing a centralising process of that kind arises from the certain conviction that to a great extent this so-called
does not make for unification at all and still less for simplification.</p><blockquote><p>645</p></blockquote><p>In many cases it is adopted simply as a means of removing from the sovereign control of the individual sM
tates certain institutions and of placing these in the hands of the revolutionary parties. Never in, the course of German history has flagrant favouritism played so great a part as in the democratic republic. A great deal of this mania for centralisation is the work of those parties which once promised that they would open the way for the promotion of talent, intending thereby to fill posts and offices entirely with their own partisans. Since the foundation of the Republic the Jews especially have been obtaining poM
sitions in the economic institutions taken over by the Reich and also positions in the national administration, so that the one and the other have become the preserves of Jewry. For tactical reasons, this last consideration obliges us to watch with the greatest attention any further move in the direction of centralisation and fight it at every step. But in doing this our standpoint must always be that of a lofty national policy and never of pettifogging particularism. This last observation is necessary, lest the opM
inion might gain ground among our own followers that we do not accredit to the Reich the right of incorporating in itself a sovereignty which is superior to that of the constituent states. As regards this right we cannot, and must not, entertain the slightest doubt. Since for us the State is nothing but a vessel and its contents (that is to say, the nation, the people) the essential factor, it is clear that every other interest must be subordinated to the supreme interests of the nation. In particular, we cannot acM
credit to any other state a sovereign power and sovereign rights within the confines of the nation and the Reich, which represents the nation. The absurdity which some federal states commit by maintaining
abroad and among themselves must, and will, cease. Until this happens we cannot be surprised if certain foreign countries are dubious about the political unity of the Reich and act accordingly. The absurdity of these
is all the greater because they do harm and do not yieM
ld the slightest advantage.</p><blockquote><p>646</p></blockquote><p>If the interests of a German abroad cannot be protected by the minister of the Reich, how much less can they be protected by the minister of some small federal state which appears ridiculous in the framework of the present world-order? The real truth is that these small federal states are envisaged as points of attack in connection with any attempt to bring about disintegration, engineered either from within or from without the German Reich, whichM
attempts are always pleasing to a certain foreign State. We National Socialists must not allow some noble but degenerate family to obtain for one of its semi-moribund scions a ministerial post abroad with the idea that he might thrive in pastures new. Even in the days of the old Reich our diplomatic representatives abroad were such a sorry lot that further experiments of that kind are highly undesirable. It is certain that in the future the importance of the individual states will be transferred to the sphere of oM
ur cultural policy. Ludwig I, the monarch who did most to make Bavaria an important centre was not an obstinate particularist with anti-German tendencies, but was as much devoted to the ideal of a greater Germany as he was to art. His first consideration was to use the powers of the state to develop the cultural position of Bavaria and not its political power and in doing this he produced better and more durable results than if he had followed any other line of conduct. Up to this time Munich was a provincial capitM
al of no great importance, but he transformed it into the metropolis of German art and by doing so he made it an intellectual centre which even to-day binds Franconia to Bavaria, though the Franconians are of quite a different temperament. If Munich had remained as it was formerly, what has happened in Saxony would have been repeated in Bavaria, with the difference that N
rnberg, the Bavarian counterpart of Leipzig, would have become, not a Bavarian, but a Franconian, city. It was not the cry of
that made Munich great. What made this a city of importance was that the King wished to present it to the German nation as an artistic masterpiece that had to be seen to be appreciated, and it was both seen and appreciated. Therein lies a lesson for the future.</p><blockquote><p>647</p></blockquote><p>The importance of the individual states in the future will no longer lie in their political or constitutional power. I look on them rather as important Germanic ethnological and cultural political centres, but eM
ven here, time will perform its levelling work. Modem travelling facilities shuffle people together in such a way that tribal boundaries will fade out and even the cultural picture is gradually beginning to assume a more uniform pattern. The Army must definitely be kept clear of the influence of the individual states. The coming National Socialist State must not fall back into the error of the past by imposing on the Army a task which is not within its sphere and should never be assigned to it. The German Army is nM
ot meant to be a school for the preservation of provincial idiosyncrasies, but a school in which all Germans will learn to understand and adapt themselves to each other
s ways. Whatever tends to have a separating influence in the life of the nation ought to be made a unifying influence in the Army. The Army must raise the German boy above the narrow horizon of his own little native province and make him conscious that he is part of the nation. The youth must learn to know, not the confines of his own district, buM
t those of his Fatherland, because it is the latter that he will have to defend one day. It is, therefore, absurd to have the German youth do his military training in his own native district. During that period he ought to learn to know Germany. This is all the more important to-day, since young Germans no longer travel during their years of apprenticeship as they once used to do, thus enlarging their horizon. In view of this, is it not absurd to leave the young Bavarian recruit in Munich, the Franconian in N
rg, the recruit from Baden in Karlsruhe, the Wurtemberger at Stuttgart and so on? Would it not be more sensible to show the Bavarian the Rhine and the North Sea, the native of Hamburg the Alps and the lad from East Prussia the mountains of Central Germany?</p><blockquote><p>648</p></blockquote><p>The character proper to each region ought to be maintained in the troops, but not in the barracks. We may disapprove of every attempt to achieve uniformity, but not as regards the Army. On the contrary, even if we were oppM
osed to any such tendency, we would be bound to welcome it in this specific case, apart from the fact that, in view of the size of the present Army of the Reich, it would be absurd to maintain federal divisions. Moreover, we regard the uniformity which has been achieved in the Reich Army as something which we must retain even in future when we re-establish the national Army. Finally, a new and triumphant ideal should burst every chain which tends to paralyse its activity in promoting its ideas. National Socialism mM
ust claim the right to impose its principles on the whole German nation, without regard to what were hitherto the confines of federal states. We must educate the German nation in our ideology and principles. As the Churches do not feel themselves bound or limited by political frontiers, so the National Socialist ideology cannot be confined to any of the federal states which constitute our Fatherland. The National Socialist doctrine is not meant to serve the political interests of the individual federal states, but M
to dominate the whole German nation. It must determine the life of the whole people and shape that life anew. For this reason we must imperatively demand the right to overstep boundaries that have been traced by a political development which we repudiate. The more complete the triumph of the National Socialist ideology, the greater will be the liberty which it can concede to the individual within the State.<blockquote><p>649</p></blockquote><blockquote><p>650</p></blockquote><blockquote><p>651</p></blockquote><h1 iM
d="chapter-xi-propaganda-and-organisation">CHAPTER XI: PROPAGANDA AND ORGANISATION</h1><p>The year 1921 was, from many points of view, particularly important for me and for the National Socialist Movement. When I entered the German Labour Party, I at once took charge of the propaganda, believing this branch to be far the most important for the time being. The first necessity was not so much to rack one
s brains over problems connected with organisation as to spread out ideas among as many people as possible. PropM
aganda should go well ahead of organisation and gather together the human material for the latter to work up. I have never been in favour of hasty and pedantic methods of organisation, because, in most cases, the result is merely a piece of dead mechanism and rarely a living organisation. Organisation is a thing which derives its existence from organic life, organic evolution. When the same set of ideas have taken root in the minds of a certain number of people they tend of themselves to achieve a certain degree ofM
order among those people and this inner development is of inestimable value. Of course, here, as everywhere else, one must take account of those human weaknesses which make men hesitate, especially at the beginning, to submit to the control of a superior mind. As soon as an organisation functions mechanically from above, there is always the danger that some individual who has been appointed to a certain office, but who has not yet proved his mettle and may be far from efficient, will, from motives of sheer jealousM
y, try to hinder abler persons from taking a leading place in the movement. The damage that results from that kind of thing may have fatal consequences, especially in a new movement. For this reason it is advisable first to propagate and publicly expound the ideas on which the movement is founded. This work of propaganda should continue for a certain time and should be directed from one centre.</p><blockquote><p>652</p></blockquote><p>When the ideas have gradually won over a number of people this human material shoM
uld be carefully sifted for the purpose of selecting those who have, ability in leadership and of putting that ability to the test. It will often be found that apparently insignificant persons nevertheless turn out to be born leaders. At the same time it is quite wrong to imagine that possession of vast theoretical knowledge is a proof of capacity for leadership. The contrary is very frequently the case. Great theorists are only very rarely great organisers, because the greatness of the theorist and founder of a syM
stem coexists in being able to discover and lay down those laws that are right in the abstract, whereas the organiser must be first and foremost a psychologist. He must take men as they are, and for that reason he must know them, and have neither too high nor too low an estimate of human nature. He must take account of their weaknesses, their baseness and all their various characteristics, so as to form something which will be a living organism, endowed with great and unwavering force, fit to champion an ideal and M
pave the way for its successful realisation. It is still more rare to find a great theorist who is at the same time a great leader. An agitator is much more likely to prove a great leader a truth that is not palatable to many of those who deal with problems only from the scientific standpoint! Yet this is only natural, for an agitator who shows himself capable of expounding ideas to the great masses must always be a psychologist, even though he be only a demagogue. Therefore he will always be a much more capable leM
ader than the contemplative theorist who, far from the madding crowd, meditates on his ideas. To be a leader means to be able to move the masses. The gift of formulating ideas has nothing whatsoever to do with the capacity for leadership.</p><blockquote><p>653</p></blockquote><p>It would be entirely futile to discuss the question as to which is the more important
the faculty for conceiving ideals and human aims or that of being able to realise them. Here, as so often in this world, the one would be entirely meaniM
ngless without the other. The noblest theoretical conceptions remain without purpose or value, if the leader cannot move the masses to accept them, and, conversely, what would it avail to have all the genius and verve of a leader if the intellectual theorist does not fix the aims for which mankind must struggle? But when the abilities of theorist, organiser and leader are united in the one person, then we have the rarest phenomenon on this earth, for it is that union which makes the great man. As I have already saiM
d, during my early days in the Party I devoted myself to the work of propaganda. I had to succeed in gradually gathering together a small nucleus of men who became imbued with the new doctrine, thus providing the human material which was subsequently to form the first elements of an organisation. Thus the goal of the propagandist was nearly always fixed far beyond that of the organiser. If a movement proposes to overthrow a certain order of things and set up a new one in its place, then the following principles musM
t be clearly understood and respected by its leaders. Every movement which has gained its human material must first divide this material into two groups, namely, adherents and members. It is the task of the propagandist to gain adherents and it is the task of the organising body to enlist members. The adherent of a movement is he who sympathises with and accepts its aims, while the member is he who fights for them. The adherent is one for whom propaganda has converted to the doctrine of the movement. The member is M
he who will be charged by the organising body with collaborating in winning ever new adherents who will in turn become new members. Since to be an adherent demands only passive acceptance of an ideal, whereas membership implies championing and defending it, there will never be more than two members to every ten adherents.</p><blockquote><p>654</p></blockquote><p>Adhesion is based only on comprehension, whereas membership is founded on the courage to stand up for what has been comprehended and accepted and to propouM
nd it to others. The majority, being lazy and timid, is content with passive acceptance of a doctrine and only a minority will assume the responsibility of membership which implies readiness to defend one
s opinions. Such being the case, the propagandist must seek untiringly to acquire new followers for the movement, whereas the organising body must see to it that only the best elements among these followers are admitted to membership. The propagandist need not trouble about the personal worth of the individual cM
onverts he has won over to the movement. He need not inquire into their abilities, their intelligence or their character. From among these converts, however, the organising body will have to select those individuals who are most capable of actively helping to achieve victory for the movement. The propagandist aims at inducing the whole people to accept his teaching. The organising body includes within the framework of membership only those who, on psychological grounds, will not impede the further diffusion of the M
doctrines of the movement. The propagandist inculcates his doctrine upon the minds of the nation as a whole, preparing it for the time when this doctrine will triumph, whereas the organising body brings that triumph nearer by the continual, organic and combatant cohesion of those followers who have given proof of the necessary ability and will-power to carry on the struggle until victory is won. The more effectively propaganda has swayed the people as a whole and the more exclusive, rigorous and rigid the organisatM
ion, the greater the possibility of the triumph of its ideology. It follows, therefore, that the number of adherents can never be too large, whereas the number of members is apt to become too large rather than too small. When a whole nation has become imbued with an idea as a result of propaganda, the organising body can realise its aims with a handful of supporters.</p><blockquote><p>655</p></blockquote><p>There is, therefore, a certain fixed relationship between propaganda and organisation, and between the numberM
of adherents and members. If the propaganda is good the organising body may be small, while the larger the number of adherents, the smaller the number of members. Conversely, if the propaganda be bad, the organising body must be large and if there be only a small number of adherents, the membership must be all the larger if the movement still genuinely hopes to be successful. The first task of the propagandist is to win over people who will subsequently belong to the organising body. The first duty of the organisiM
ng body is to select and train men who will be capable of carrying on the propaganda. The second task of the propagandist is to disrupt the existing order of things and to saturate this order with the new teaching, while the second task of the organising body must be to fight for power, so that the doctrine may finally triumph. An ideological revolution will always be most successful, if the new ideology has been taught to the entire population, or if necessary, forced upon it subsequently, whilst, on the other hanM
d, the movement itself, the organisation, should comprise only the minimum number of persons required to man the nerve-centres of the state in question. Put in another way, this means that in every great revolutionary movement of world-importance, the ideals of that movement must always first be propagated through the operation of propaganda. The propagandist must never tire in his efforts to make the new ideas clearly understood, to persuade others to adopt them and to endeavour to shake their confidence in the coM
nvictions they have hitherto held. In order that such propaganda should have a firm character, it must be based on an organisation. The organisation gains its members from any among those followers whom propaganda has won over and will grow the more rapidly if the work of propaganda be pushed forward intensively, and it will be all the more effective if the organisation at the back of it is vigorous and strong in itself. Hence, the supreme task of the organising body is to see to it that any discord or differences M
which may arise among the members of the movement will not lead to a split and thereby cramp the work within the movement.</p><blockquote><p>656</p></blockquote><p>Moreover, it is the duty of the organising body to see that the fighting spirit of the movement does not flag or die out, but that it is constantly reinvigorated and reinforced. It is not necessary that the number of members should increase indefinitely; on the contrary, in view of the fact that only a fraction of humanity has energy and courage, a movemM
ent which increases its own organisation indefinitely must of necessity one day become weakened thereby. Organisations, that is to say, memberships, which increase beyond certain limits gradually lose their fighting force and are no longer capable of backing up and turning to account propaganda on behalf of an ideal with the requisite verve and determination. Now, the greater and more revolutionary a doctrine is, the more active will be the spirit inspiring its body of members, because the very fact of the revolutiM
onary nature of the doctrine implies danger for its champions and this suffices to frighten away the chicken-hearted and small-minded Philistines. In their hearts they may believe in the doctrine, but they are afraid to acknowledge their belief openly by becoming members of the movement. By reason of this very fact, however, an organisation inspired by a genuinely revolutionary ideal will attract as members only the most active of those who have been won over by its propaganda. It is in this activity on the part ofM
the members, guaranteed by the process of natural selection, that we have the prerequisite conditions for the continuation of an active and spirited propaganda and also for the victorious struggle for the realisation of the ideal on which the movement is based. The greatest danger that can threaten a movement is an abnormal increase in the number of its members, owing to its too rapid success. So long as a movement has to carry on a hard and bitter fight, people of weak and fundamentally egotistic temperament willM
steer clear of it; but these will try to be accepted as members the moment the party appears likely to achieve, or has already achieved, a great measure of success.</p><blockquote><p>657</p></blockquote><p>It is for this reason that so many movements which are at first successful, slow down before reaching the fulfilment of their purpose and, from an inner weakness which cannot otherwise be explained, give up the struggle and finally disappear from the field. As a result of the early successes achieved, so many unM
desirable, unworthy and especially timid individuals become members of the movement that they are finally in the majority and overrule those who are filled with the fighting-spirit, use the movement to gain their own ends, dragging it down to their own petty level and do nothing to bring about the triumph of the original idea. The fire of the first fervour dies out, the fighting spirit flags and, as the bourgeois world is accustomed to remark (and in this case with some justice) the wine has become mixed with waterM
and then it is, of course, impossible to achieve great things. For this reason it is necessary that a movement should, from the sheer instinct of self-preservation, close its list of membership the moment it becomes successful, while any further increase in its organisation should be undertaken only after the most careful precautions have been taken and after a painstaking sifting of those who apply for membership. Only thus will it be possible to keep the kernel of the movement intact, fresh and sound. Care must M
be taken that the conduct of the movement remains exclusively in the hands of the original nucleus, which means that this nucleus must direct the propaganda which aims at securing general recognition for the movement and is the central authority which decides what measures are to be adopted for the practical realisation of its ideals. The organisation should not only appoint the men who formed the original nucleus of the movement to all the important positions in those parts of the country that have been won over, M
but should see to it that the entire governing body is composed of such elements. This should continue until the maxims and doctrines of the party have become the foundation and substance of the new State. Only then will it be permissible gradually to transfer the reins to the hands of the constitution of that State which the spirit of the movement has created.</p><blockquote><p>658</p></blockquote><p>But this usually happens as the result of mutual rivalry, for here it is less a question of human intelligence thanM
of the play of the forces whose development may indeed be foreseen from the start, but not perpetually controlled. All great movements, whether of a political or religious nature, owe their success to the recognition and adoption of these principles, and no durable success is conceivable if these laws are not observed. As director of propaganda for the Party, I took care not merely to prepare the ground for the size of the Movement in its subsequent stages, but I also adopted the most radical type of propaganda inM
order to make sure that none but the best would enter the organization. For the more radical and stirring my propaganda was, the more did it frighten away weak and wavering characters, thus preventing them from entering the first nucleus of our organisation. Perhaps they remained followers, but they did not advertise the fact, on the contrary, they maintained a discreet silence on the subject. Many thousands of persons then assured me that although they were in full agreement with us, they could not on any accountM
become members of our Party. They said that the Movement was so radical that to take part in it as members would expose them to grave censure and even danger, so that nobody could take it amiss if an honest, peace-loving citizen chose to remain in the background, for the time being at least, though devoted whole-heartedly to our cause. This was all to the good. If all those men, who in their hearts did not approve of the Revolution, had joined our Movement as members at that time, we could regard ourselves to-day M
as a pious confraternity and not as a young Movement inspired with the spirit of combat. The lively and combative form which I gave to all our propaganda at that time fortified and guaranteed the radical tendency of our Movement, and the result was that, with few exceptions, only men of radical views were disposed to become members. It was due to the effect of our propaganda that, within a short period of time, hundreds of thousands of citizens not only became convinced in their hearts that we were right, but wisheM
d us victory, although personally they were too timid to make sacrifices for that victory or even to fight for it.</p><blockquote><p>659</p></blockquote><p>Up to the middle of 1921 the mere gaining of followers sufficed and was of value to the Movement, but in the summer of that year, certain events happened which made it seem opportune for us to bring our organisation into line with the manifest successes which the propaganda had achieved. An attempt made by a group of patriotic visionaries, supported by the chairM
man of the Party at that time, to take over the management of the party led, to the failure of this little intrigue, and, as the result of a motion carried unanimously at a general meeting of the members, the entire management of the Party was entrusted to me. At the same time a new statute was passed investing the chairman of the movement with absolute responsibility, abolishing the system of resolutions in committee and introducing in its stead a system of division of labour which, since that time, has worked excM
ellently. From August 1st, 1921, onwards, I undertook the internal reorganisation of the Party and was supported by a number of excellent men. I shall mention them and their work individually in a postscript to the present work. In my endeavour to utilise the results gained by propaganda to the advantage of the organisation and thus to stabilise them, I had to abolish completely a number of established practices and introduce regulations which none of the other parties either possessed or recognised. In the years 1M
20 the Movement was controlled by a committee elected at meetings of the members, held in accordance with the constitution. The committee was composed of a treasurer and an assistant-treasurer, a secretary and an assistant-secretary and, at the head of it, a chairman and a vice-chairman. In addition to these there were a members
representative, the director of propaganda, and various assessorial members. Comically enough, the committee embodied the very principle against which the Movement itself wanted toM
fight with all its energy, namely, the principle of parliamentarianism. It was evident that from the smallest local groups to the district and regional groups, the state groups and finally the supreme directorate for the Reich, the principle adopted incorporated the self-same system under which we were all suffering and continue to suffer.</p><blockquote><p>660</p></blockquote><p>It was imperative to change this state of affairs forthwith, if this bad foundation in the internal organisation was not to jeopardise tM
he Movement and render the fulfilment of its high mission impossible. The sessions of the committee at which minutes were read out, and at which resolutions were passed according to the vote of the majority, presented the picture of a miniature parliament. Here there was no such thing as personal responsibility, the same absurdities and paradoxes prevailed as in the great representative bodies of the State. Names were presented to this committee for appointment as secretaries, treasurers, members of the organisatioM
n, propaganda agents and God knows what else. Every single question was discussed by the committee as a whole and put to the vote. Accordingly, the director of propaganda voted on a question that concerned the man who had to do with the finances, and the latter, in his turn, voted on a question that concerned only the organising side as such, the organiser voting on a subject that had to do with the secretarial department, and so on. Why select a special man for propaganda, if treasurers, secretaries, members
presentatives etc., had to deliver judgment on questions concerning it? To a person of common sense that sort of thing seems as incomprehensible as it would be if, in a large manufacturing concern, the board of directors or technical experts belonging to other departments and other branches were called upon to decide questions which had nothing to do with their own particular job. I refused to countenance this kind of folly and after a short time I ceased to appear at the meetings of the committee. I did nothing exM
cept attend to my own department of propaganda and I did not permit any of the others to poke their noses into my activities. Conversely, I did not interfere in the affairs of others. When the new statute was approved and I was appointed chairman, I had the necessary authority and also the corresponding right to make short shrift of all that nonsense.</p><blockquote><p>661</p></blockquote><p>In the place of decisions by majority vote of the committee, the principle of absolute responsibility was introduced. The chaM
irman is responsible for the whole control of the Movement. He apportions the work to be done among the members of the committee subordinate to him and for special work he selects other individuals. Each of these gentlemen must bear sole responsibility for the task assigned to him. He is subordinate only to the chairman, whose duty is to supervise the general collaboration, selecting the personnel and giving general directions as to how co-operation is to be achieved. This principle of absolute responsibility has gM
radually become a matter of course within the Movement, at least in so far as the management of the Party is concerned. In the small local groups and perhaps also in the regional and district groups it will take yet a long time before the principle can be thoroughly imposed, because the timid and inefficient are naturally opposed to it. For them the idea of bearing absolute responsibility for an action opens up an unpleasant prospect and they feel more at ease and safer if, faced with a difficult decision, they havM
e the support of the majority on a so-called committee. But it seems to me a matter of absolute necessity to take a decisive stand against that view, to make no concessions whatsoever to this fear of responsibility, even though it will take some time before we can attain this concept of duty and ability in leadership, which will place in positions of authority only those who possess the necessary gifts and are selected for the work. In any case, a movement which has to fight against the absurdity of parliamentary iM
nstitutions must itself be immune from them. Only thus will it have the requisite strength to carry on the struggle. It is absolutely certain that a movement which, in an era in which the majority principle holds good in every sphere of life, adopts as its fundamental principle that of leadership (and consequently the assumption of responsibility by the leaders), will one day succeed in abolishing and triumphing over existing conditions.</p><blockquote><p>662</p></blockquote><p>This idea made it necessary to reorgaM
nise our Movement internally. The logical development of this reorganisation brought about a clear-cut distinction between the economic section of the Movement and the general political management. The principle of personal responsibility was extended to all the administrative branches of the party and inevitably had a regenerating effect, by liberating them from political influences and allowing them to operate solely on economic principles. In the autumn of 1919, when I joined the Party, there were only six membeM
rs. The Party had neither an office, officials, forms, a stamp, nor printed material of any sort. The committee first held its sittings in a restaurant in the Herrengasse and then in a cafe in the Gasteig. This state of affairs was intolerable, so I at once took action in the matter. I went around to several restaurants and hotels in Munich with the idea of renting a room in one of them for the use of the Party. In the old Sterneckerbr
u im Tal, there was a small vault-like room which in earlier times had served tM
he Bavarian Counsellors of the Holy Roman Empire as a tap-room when they foregathered. It was dark and dismal and accordingly well suited to its ancient uses, though less suited to the new purpose it was now destined to serve. The little street on which its one window looked out was so narrow that even on the brightest summer day the room remained dim and sombre. This became our first office. As the rent came to only fifty marks per month, (then an enormous sum for us) we could not expect very much and we dared notM
complain even when the wooden wainscoting was removed a few days before we took possession. This panelling had been specially put up for the Imperial Counsellors. The place began to look more like a tomb than an office. Still it marked an important step forward. By degrees, we had electric light installed and later on a telephone. A table and some borrowed chairs were put in, open bookshelves, and afterwards, a cupboard. Two sideboards, which belonged to the landlord, served to store our leaflets, placards, etc. AM
s time went on, it proved impossible to direct the course of the Movement merely by holding a committee meeting once a week.</p><blockquote><p>663</p></blockquote><p>The current business administration of the Movement could not be regularly attended to unless we had a salaried official, but at that time it was very difficult for us to arrange anything of the kind. The Movement had still so few members that it was hard to find among them a suitable person for the job, who would be content with very little for himselM
f and would at the same time be ready to meet the manifold demands which the Movement would make on his time and energy. After a long search we discovered a soldier who consented to become our first business-manager. His name was Sch
ssler, an old war-time comrade of mine. At first he came to our new office every day between six and eight o
clock in the evening, later on he came from five to eight and subsequently for the whole afternoon; finally, it became a full-time job and he worked in the office from morninM
g until late at night. He was an industrious, upright and thoroughly honest man, who was exceedingly painstaking and a loyal supporter of the Movement. He brought with him a small Adler typewriter of his own
it was the first typewriter to be used in the service of the Party. Subsequently, the Party bought it, paying for it in instalments. We needed a small safe in order to keep our papers and register of members out of harm
s way, not to hold our funds, which were then non-existent. On the contrary, our financiM
al position was so hopeless that I often had to dip into my own personal savings. After eighteen months had passed our business quarters had become too small, so we moved to a new place in the Cornelius Strasse. Again our office was in a restaurant, but instead of one room we now had three smaller rooms and one large room with counters. At that time this appeared a wonderful thing to us. We remained in these premises until November 1923. In December 1920, we acquired the<i>V
lkischer Beobachter</i>. This newspaperM
which, as its name implies, championed the<i>v
lkisch</i>cause, was now to become the organ of the National Socialist German Labour Party. At first it appeared twice weekly; but at the beginning of 1923 it became a daily paper, and at the end of August in the same year it began to appear in the form now so well known.</p><blockquote><p>664</p></blockquote><p>As a complete novice in journalism I then learned many a lesson for which I had to pay dearly. In contrast to the enormous number of papers in Jewish hands, M
there was at that time scarcely any important newspaper that defended the<i>v
lkisch</i>cause. This state of affairs ought to have provided us with food for thought. As I have often seen from experience, the reason for that state of things was, to a great extent, attributable to the incompetent way in which the business side of the so-called<i>v
lkisch</i>newspapers was managed. These were conducted too much according to the view that political opinion should be taken into consideration before efficiency
a mistaken attitude, inasmuch as political opinion should not be paraded, but should find expression in efficient work. The man who does valuable work for the nation expresses thereby the soundness of his political opinions, whereas another who merely talks about his opinions and does nothing that is of real value to the nation is detrimental to any real political opinion, and his attitude is also prejudicial to his particular political party. The<i>V
lkischer Beobachter</i>was a so-called<i>v
lkisch</i>paper as M
its name indicates. It had all the good qualities, but still more the errors and weaknesses, inherent in all<i>v
lkisch</i>institutions. Though the reading-matter was excellent, the business side was conducted on very inefficient lines. Here also the underlying idea was that a<i>v
lkisch</i>newspaper ought to be subsidized by contributions from people holding<i>v
lkisch</i>views, and the fact was ignored that it had to make its way in competition with the others and that it was dishonest to expect the subscriptiM
ons of good patriots to make up for the mistakes and inefficiency of the management of the undertaking. I took care to alter these conditions promptly, for I recognised the danger inherent in them. Luck was on my side inasmuch as it brought me a man who, since that time, has rendered incalculable service to the Movement, not only as business-manager of the newspaper, but also as business-manager of the Party. In 1914, during the War, I made the acquaintance of Max Amann, who was then my superior officer and is to-dM
ay general business-manager of the Party.</p><blockquote><p>665</p></blockquote><p>During four years of war I had occasion to observe the unusual ability, diligence and rigorous conscientiousness of my future collaborator. In the summer of 1921 I applied to my old regimental comrade, whom I met one day by chance, and asked him to become business-manager of the Movement. At that time the Movement was passing through a grave crisis and I had reason to be dissatisfied with several of our officials, with one of whom I M
had had a very bitter experience. Amann then held a good position with good prospects. After long hesitation he agreed to my request, but only on condition that he would not be at the mercy of incompetent committees and would be responsible to one master, and one only. It is to the inestimable credit of this first business-manager of the Party, whose commercial knowledge is extensive and profound, that he brought order and probity into the various business concerns of the Party. Since that time these have remained M
exemplary and cannot be equalled, or excelled, by any other branches of the Movement. But as often happens in life, great ability provokes envy and disfavour; that was to be expected in this case and had to be put up with. From 1922 onwards we followed definite guiding principles as regards the commercial development of the Movement as well as in connection with its organisation. There already existed a central filing system, where the names and personal data of all the members were noted. The finances of the PartyM
had been rendered sound. The current expenditure had to be covered by the current receipts and special receipts were used only for special expenditure. Thus, notwithstanding the difficulties of the time, the Movement remained practically free of debt, except for a few small current accounts. Indeed there was a steady increase in the funds. Things were managed as in a private business. The personnel employed held their jobs by virtue of their efficiency and could not in any way take cover behind their professed loyM
alty to the Party.</p><blockquote><p>666</p></blockquote><p>A good National Socialist proves his loyalty by the readiness, diligence and efficiency with which he discharges whatever duties are assigned to, him, in performing whatever work is allotted to him within the national community. The man who does not fulfil his duty in the job he holds cannot boast of a loyalty against which he actually transgresses. Adamant against all kinds of influence, the new business-manager of the party firmly maintained the standpoiM
nt that there were no sinecure posts in the party administration for followers and members of the Movement who did not want to work. A movement, which fights energetically against the corruption introduced into our civil service by the various political parties must be immune from that vice in its own administrative department. It happened that some men were taken on to the staff of the paper who had formerly been adherents of the Bavarian People
s Party, but whose work showed that they were excellently qualifiedM
for the job. The result of this experiment was, generally speaking, eminently satisfactory. It was owing to this honest and frank recognition of individual efficiency that the Movement won the hearts of its employees more readily and more profoundly than had ever been the case before. Subsequently these men became good National Socialists and remained so, not only professedly, but proved to be so by the steady, honest and conscientious work which they performed in the service of the new Movement. Although a well-qM
ualified party member was preferred to another who had equal qualifications, but did not belong to the Party, nobody obtained a post merely by reason of the fact that he was a member of the Party. The rigid determination with which our new business-manager applied these principles and gradually put them into force, despite all opposition, turned out to be of great advantage to the Movement. To this we owe the fact that it was possible for us, during the difficult period of the inflation, when thousands of businesseM
s failed and thousands of newspapers had to cease publication, not only to keep the commercial department of the Movement going and finance its activities, but also to make steady progress with the<i>V
lkischer Beobachter</i>. At that time it came to be ranked among the big newspapers.</p><blockquote><p>667</p></blockquote><p>The year 1921 was of further importance by reason of the fact that, as chairman of the party, I slowly but steadily succeeded in putting a stop to criticism and interference by numerous membeM
rs of committee with regard to various business concerns of the Party. This was important, because we could not get a capable man to take on a job if nincompoops were constantly allowed to butt in, pretending that they knew better, whereas in reality they left only chaos behind them. Then these wiseacres retired, for the most part quite modestly, to seek another field for their supervisory and animating activities. Some men seemed to have a mania for finding fault with everything and were, so to speak, always in a M
permanent state of pregnancy with magnificent plans, ideas, projects and methods. Naturally, their great aim and ideal was always the formation of a committee which, in its supervisory capacity, would be in a position to poke its nose into the efficient work being done by others. Many of these committee fiends failed to realise that it is offensive and contrary to the spirit of National Socialism if unauthorised people constantly interfere in the work of really competent persons. During those years I felt it to be M
my duty to safeguard against such annoyance all those who were performing good work or were entrusted with responsible task, to give them support so that they were guaranteed a free hand in their day
s work. The best means of rendering innocuous those committees, which either did nothing or hatched impracticable decisions, was to give them some real work to do. It was then amusing to see how the members would silently fade away and were soon nowhere to be found. It made me think of that great institution of the sM
ame kind, the Reichstag. How quickly its members would evanesce, if they were put to some real work instead of talking, especially if each member were made personally responsible for the work assigned to him. I always demanded that, as in private life so in the Movement, we should not abandon the search until the best, most honest and manifestly most competent person had been found for the position of official manager or leader, as the case might be, in every business concern of the Movement.</p><blockquote><p>668<M
/p></blockquote><p>Once installed in his position he should be given absolute authority and full freedom of action in regard to his subordinates and at the same time be called upon to assume full responsibility towards his superiors. Nobody was placed in a position of authority over subordinates unless he himself was more competent than they to perform the work entrusted to them. In the course of two years I put my views more and more into practice, so that to-day, at least as far as the higher positions of authoriM
ty in the Movement are concerned, they are accepted as a matter of course. The manifest success of this attitude was shown on November 9th, 1923. Four years previously, when I entered the Movement, it did not possess even a rubber stamp. On November 9th, 1923, the Party was dissolved and its property confiscated. This, including all objects of value and the newspaper, amounted to more than one hundred and seventy thousand gold marks.</p><blockquote><p>669</p></blockquote><blockquote><p>670</p></blockquote><blockquoM
te><p>671</p></blockquote><h1 id="chapter-xii-the-problem-of-the-trade-unions">CHAPTER XII: THE PROBLEM OF THE TRADE-UNIONS</h1><p>Owing to the rapid growth of the movement, we felt compelled in 1922 to take a definite stand on a question which has not been fully solved even yet. In our efforts to discover the quickest and easiest way for the Movement to reach the heart of the broad masses, we were always confronted with the objection that the worker could never completely belong to us while his interests in the puM
rely vocational and economic sphere were cared for by a political organisation conducted by men whose principles were quite different from ours. That was quite a serious objection. The general belief was that a workman engaged in some trade or calling could not exist if he did not belong to a trade-union. Not only were his professional interests thus protected, but his position in the factory or concern, would, in the long run, have become untenable, if he were not a member of a trade-union. The majority of the worM
kers belonged to trade-unions. Generally speaking, the unions had conducted successfully the battle for the establishment of a definite scale of wages and had concluded agreements which guaranteed the worker a steady income. Undoubtedly, all workers benefited by the results of that campaign and, for honest men especially, conflicts of conscience must have arisen if they took the wages which had been assured through the struggle fought by the trade-unions and at the same time refrained from taking part in the fight.M
It was difficult to discuss this problem with the average bourgeois employer. He had no understanding (or did not wish to have any) for either the material or moral side of the question. Finally, his own supposed economic interests were, on principle, opposed to every kind of organisation which united the workmen that were dependent on him. Hence it was for the most part impossible to bring these bourgeois employers to take an impartial view of the situation.</p><blockquote><p>672</p></blockquote><p>Here, thereforM
e, as in so many other cases, it was necessary to appeal to disinterested outsiders who would not be liable to fix their attention on the trees and fail to see the forest. With a little goodwill on their part, they could readily understand a state of affairs which is of the highest importance for our present and future existence. In the first volume of this book I have already expressed my views on the nature, purpose and necessity of trade-unions. There I adopted the standpoint that, unless measures are undertakenM
by the State (usually futile in such cases) or a new ideal is introduced in our education, which would change the attitude of the employer towards the worker, no other course will be open to the latter, except to defend his own interests himself by claiming his equal rights as a contracting party within the economic sphere of the nation
s existence. I stated further that this would conform to the ideal of a national community, if thereby social injustices could be redressed which would otherwise cause serious daM
mage to the whole social structure. I stated, moreover, that the worker would always find it necessary to undertake this protective action as long as there were men among the employers who had no sense of their social obligations or even of the most elementary human rights, whilst I concluded by saying, that, if such self-defence be considered necessary, its form ought to be that of an association made up of the workers themselves on the basis of trade-unions. This was my general idea and it remained the same in 19M
22, but a clear and precise formula was still to be discovered. We could not be satisfied with merely understanding the problem; it was necessary to come to some conclusions that could be put into practice. The following questions had to be answered:</p><ol><li>Are trade-unions necessary?</li><li>Should the National Socialist German Labour Party itself operate on a trade-unionist basis or have its members take part in trade-unionist activities in some form or other?</li><li>What form should a National Socialist traM
de-union take? What are the tasks confronting us and the ends we must try to attain?</li><li>How can we establish trade-unions for such tasks and aims?</li></ol><blockquote><p>673</p></blockquote><p>I think that I have already answered the first question adequately. In the present state of affairs I am convinced that we cannot possibly dispense with the trade-unions. On the contrary, they are among the most important institutions in the economic life of the nation. Not only are they important in the sphere of sociaM
l policy but also, and even more so, in the national political sphere, for, when the great messes of a nation see their vital needs satisfied through a just trade-unionist movement, which is at the same time educating them, the stamina of the whole nation in its struggle for existence will be enormously reinforced thereby. Above all, the trade-unions are necessary as building stones for the future economic parliament, which will be made up of chambers representing the various professions and occupations. The secondM
question is also easy to answer. If the trade-unionist movement is important, then it is clear that National Socialism ought to take a definite stand on that question, not only theoretically, but also in practice. But how? That is more difficult to decide. The National Socialist Movement, which aims at establishing the National Socialist<i>v
lkisch</i>State, must always bear in mind the principle that every future institution under that State must be evolved from the Movement itself. It is a great mistake to beliM
eve that, by the mere acquisition of supreme political power, we can suddenly bring about a definite reorganisation, from nothing, without the help of a certain reserve of men who have been trained beforehand, especially in the spirit of the Movement. Here, also, the principle holds good that the spirit is always more important than the external form which it animates, since this form can be created mechanically and quickly. For instance, the leadership principle may be imposed on an organised political community iM
n a dictatorial way. But, this principle can become a living reality only when, by means of a gradual process of development from an extremely small nucleus, and by that process of elimination which the hard realities of life continually enforce, there is produced, after the lapse of years, the necessary material from which leaders, capable of carrying the principle into practical effect, are chosen.</p><blockquote><p>674</p></blockquote><p>It is out of the question to think that a scheme for the constitution of a M
State can be pulled out of a portfolio at a moment
by imperative orders from above. One may try that kind of thing, but the result will always be something that cannot endure, and may even prove abortive. This calls to mind the origin of the Weimar Constitution and the attempt to impose on the German people a new constitution and a new flag, neither of which had any inner relation to the vicissitudes of our nation
s history during the last half century. The National Socialist StateM
must guard against all such experiments. It can only grow out of an organisation which has already existed for a long time. This organisation must be in itself the essence of National Socialist life, so that finally it may be able to establish a National Socialist State which will be a living reality. As I have already said the germ-cells of the economic chambers must be established in the various vocational representative bodies and especially in the trade-unions. If this subsequent vocational representation and M
the central economic parliament are to be National Socialist institutions, these important germ-cells must be vehicles of the National Socialist ideology. The institutions of the Movement must be transferred to the State; but the State cannot call into existence all of a sudden and as if by magic, corresponding organisations unless these are to remain completely lifeless. Looking at the matter from the highest standpoint, the National Socialist Movement will have to recognise the necessity for instituting its own tM
rade-unionist activities. It must do so for a further reason, namely, because a real National Socialist education for the employer as well as for the employee, in the spirit of mutual co-operation within the common framework of the national community, cannot be secured by theoretical instruction, appeals and exhortations, but only through the struggle of daily life.</p><blockquote><p>675</p></blockquote><p>In and through this struggle the Movement must educate the several large economic groups and bring them closerM
to one another through a wider outlook. Without this preparatory work it would be sheer illusion to hope that a real national community could be brought into existence. Only the great<i>Weltanschauung</i>for which the Movement is fighting can serve to form by degrees that general attitude which the new era will one day prove to be internally and fundamentally sound and not mere outward show. Hence, the Movement must not only adopt a positive attitude towards the trade-unionist idea, it must go further; it must, byM
means of practical activity, provide the multitude of its members and adherents with the education requisite for the future National Socialist State. The answer to the third question follows from what has already been said. The National Socialist trade-union is not an instrument for class warfare, but a representative organ of the various professions and callings. The National Socialist State recognises no
but, from the political point of view, only citizens with absolutely equal rights and equal oblM
igations corresponding thereto. Apart from these, it recognises subjects of the State who have no political rights whatsoever. According to the National Socialist concept, it is not the task of the trade-union to band together certain men within the national community and thus gradually to transform these men into a class, so as to use them in a conflict against other similarly organised groups within the national community. We certainly cannot assign this task to the trade-union as such. This was the task assignedM
to it the moment it became a fighting weapon in the hands of the Marxist. The trade-union is not naturally an instrument of class warfare; but the Marxists transformed it into an instrument for use in their own class struggle. They created the economic weapon which the international Jew uses for the purpose of destroying the economic foundations of free and independent national States, of ruining their national trade and industry and thereby enslaving free nations to serve Jewish world finance, which transcends alM
l state boundaries.</p><blockquote><p>676</p></blockquote><p>In contradiction to this, the National Socialist trade-union must organise definite groups of those who participate in the economic life of the nation. They will thus enhance the security of the national economic system, reinforcing it by the elimination of all those anomalies which ultimately exercise a destructive influence on the social body of the nation, damage the vital forces of the national community, prejudice the welfare of the State and, by no M
means least, bring evil and destruction on economic life itself. In the hands of the National Socialist trade-union the strike is not, therefore, an instrument for disturbing and dislocating national production, but for increasing it and making it run smoothly, by fighting against all those abuses which, by reason of their non-social character, hinder efficiency in business and thereby hamper the existence of the whole nation. Individual efficiency is always in direct relation to the general social and legal positiM
on of the individual in the economic process, and to the consequent conviction that the economic prosperity of the nation must necessarily redound to the benefit of the individual citizen. The National Socialist employee will have to recognise the fact that his own material welfare is bound up with the economic prosperity of the nation. The National Socialist employer must recognise that the welfare and contentment of his employees are necessary prerequisites for the existence and development of his own economic prM
osperity. National Socialist workers and employers are both, at one and the same time, the representatives and administrators of the whole national community. The large measure of personal freedom which is accorded to them for their activities is to be explained by the fact that experience has shown that the productive powers of the individual are greater if he is accorded a generous measure of freedom than if he is coerced from above. Moreover, by according this freedom, we give free play to the natural process ofM
selection which brings forward the ablest, most capable and most industrious. For the National Socialist trade-union, therefore, the strike is a means that may, and indeed must be, resorted to as long as there is not yet a National Socialist<i>v
lkisch</i>State, but when that State is established it will, as a matter of course, abolish the class struggle between the two great groups made up of employers and employees respectively. For that is a struggle which has always resulted in lessening national production aM
nd injuring the national community.</p><blockquote><p>677</p></blockquote><p>In place of this struggle, the National Socialist State will undertake the task of caring for and defending the rights of all parties concerned. It will be the duty of the economic chambers to keep the national economic system in smooth working order and to remove whatever defects or errors may affect it adversely. Questions which are to-day settled only by the struggle of millions of people will then be settled in the representative chambM
ers of trades and professions and in the central economic parliament. Thus employers and employees will no longer find themselves drawn into a mutual conflict over wages and hours of work, always to the detriment of the interests of both. They will solve these problems together before a higher authority, whose sole aim will be to safeguard the welfare of the national community and of the State. Here, as everywhere else, the inflexible principle must hold good that the interests of the country must come before partyM
interests. The task of the National Socialist trade-union will be to educate and prepare its members to conform to these ideals, namely, that all must work together for the maintenance and security of our nation and its State, each one according to the abilities and powers with which Nature has endowed him and which have been developed and trained by the national community. Our fourth question was,
How can we establish trade-unions for such tasks and aims?
It is by far the most difficult to answer. GenerallyM
speaking, it is easier to establish something in new territory than in old territory which already has its established institutions. It is easy to set up a new business in a district where there is no existing business of the same kind, but it is more difficult if the same kind of enterprise already exists and it is most difficult of all when the conditions are such that only one enterprise of this kind can prosper. In the latter case, the promoters of the new enterprise find themselves confronted not only with thM
e problem of introducing their own business, but also that of how to bring about the destruction of the other business already existing in the district, so that the new enterprise may prosper.</p><blockquote><p>678</p></blockquote><p>It would be senseless to have a National Socialist trade, union side by side with other trade-unions, for the former must be thoroughly imbued with a feeling for the ideological nature of its task and the resulting obligation not to tolerate other similar or hostile institutions. It muM
st also insist that it alone is necessary, to the exclusion of all the rest. It can come to no arrangement and no compromise with kindred tendencies, but must assert its own absolute and exclusive right to exist. There were two ways which might have led to such a development:</p><ol><li>We could have established our own trade-union and then gradually taken up the fight against the Marxist international trade-unions.</li><li>We could have joined the Marxist trade-unions in an attempt to imbue them with a new spirit M
and, with the idea of transforming them into an instrument in the service of the new ideal. For the following reasons, it would have been inadvisable to choose the first method. Our financial situation was still the cause of much concern to us at that time and our resources were very slender.</li></ol><p>The effects of the inflation were steadily spreading and made the situation still more difficult, because at that time the trade-unions were unable to render their members any tangible service. From this point of vM
iew, there was no reason why the individual worker should pay his dues to the union. Even the Marxist unions then existing were on the point of collapse when, as the result of Herr Curio
s inspired Ruhr policy, millions suddenly poured into their coffers. This so-called
Chancellor of the Reich should be dubbed the
of the Marxist trade-unions. We could not count on similar financial facilities, and nobody would have felt inclined to join a new trade-union which, on account of its finanM
cial weakness, could not offer him the slightest material benefit. On the other hand, I had to guard against the danger of creating a new organisation of this kind which would only serve to provide
for men of little ability.</p><blockquote><p>679</p></blockquote><p>At that time the question of personnel played a most important role. I did not have a single man whom I could have called upon to carry out this important task. He who could have succeeded at that time in overthrowing the Marxist unions M
to make way for the triumph of the National Socialist corporative idea, which would have replaced this weapon of ruinous class warfare, could have been reckoned as one of the very greatest men our country had produced and his bust installed in the Valhalla at Regensburg for the admiration of posterity. But I knew of no person who could have qualified for such an honour. In this connection we must not be led astray by the fact that the international trade-unions are conducted by men of only mediocre significance. ThM
is fact is actually of no importance, for when those unions were founded there was nothing else of a similar kind in existence. To-day, the National Socialist Movement must fight against a monster organisation which has existed for a long time, and has been carefully thought out to the last detail. The assailant must always exercise more intelligence than the defender, if he is to overthrow the latter. The Marxist trade-unionist citadel may be governed to-day by mediocre leaders, but it cannot be taken by assault, M
except through the dauntless energy and genius of a superior leader on the other side. If such a leader cannot be found it is futile to haggle with Fate and even more foolish to try to make the attempt under a leader wanting in the necessary qualities. Here one must apply the maxim that in life it is often better to leave a thing alone for the time being, rather than try to do it by halves or do it badly, owing to a lack of suitable means. To this we had to add another consideration, which was not at all of a demagM
ogic character. At that time I had, and I still have to-day, the firmlyrooted conviction that when one is engaged in a great ideological struggle in the political field, it would be a grave mistake to mix up economic questions with this struggle in its earlier stages. This applies particularly to our German people, because in their case, the economic struggle would immediately divert their energy from the political fight.</p><blockquote><p>680</p></blockquote><p>Once people are brought to believe that they can buy M
a little house with their savings they will devote themselves to the task of increasing their savings and no spare time will be left to them for the political struggle against those who, one way or another, intend one day to secure possession of the pennies that have been hoarded. Instead of participating in the political conflict on behalf of the opinions and convictions which they have been brought to accept, they will now go
idea and in the end they will fall between two M
stools. To-day the National Socialist Movement is at the beginning of its struggle. To a great extent it must first of all shape and develop its ideals. It must employ every ounce of its energy in the struggle to have its great ideals accepted, but this effort will not be crowned with success, unless the combined energies of the Movement be devoted exclusively to this struggle. To-day we have a classic example of how the militant strength of a people becomes paralysed when that people is too much taken up with pureM
ly economic problems. The Revolution which took place in November 1918, was not brought about by the trade-unions, but was carried out in spite of them, and the German bourgeoisie is not waging a political fight for the future of its country because it believes that that future can be amply secured by constructive work in the economic field. We must learn as lesson from such phenomena, because in our case the same thing would happen in the same circumstances. The more the combined strength of our Movement is concenM
trated in the political struggle, the more confidently may we count on being successful along our whole front, but if we busy ourselves prematurely with trade-unionist problems, settlement problems, etc., it will be to the detriment of our cause, taken as a whole. For, though these problems may be important, they cannot be solved in an adequate manner until we have political power in our hands and are able to use it in the service of these schemes. Until that day comes these problems can have only a paralysing effeM
ct on the Movement and if it takes them up too soon they will only be a hindrance in the effort to attain its ideological aims. It may then easily happen that trade-unionist considerations will decide the political trend of the Movement, instead of the<i>Weltanschauung</i>of the Movement determining the course the trade-unions are to adopt.</p><blockquote><p>681</p></blockquote><p>The Movement and the nation can derive advantage from a National Socialist trade-unionist organisation, only if the latter be so thorougM
hly inspired by National Socialist ideas that it runs no danger of falling into step behind the Marxist movement, for a National Socialist trade-union which considered itself only as a competitor against the Marxist unions would be worse than none. It must declare war against the Marxist trade-union, not only as an organisation but, above all, as an ideal. It must declare itself hostile to the idea of class and class warfare and, in place of this, it must declare itself the defender of the various vocational and prM
ofessional interests of the German people. Considered from all these points of view it was not then advisable, nor is it yet advisable, to think of founding our own trade-union, unless somebody appeared who was obviously called upon by Fate to solve this particular problem. Therefore, there remained only two possible courses
either to recommend our own party members to leave the trade-unions in which they were enrolled, or to remain in them for the moment, with the idea of disrupting them as much as possible. In M
general, I recommended the latter alternative. There could be nothing against this, especially in 1922
1923, since, during the inflation, the financial gain which the trade-unions derived from the few members who belonged to our, as yet, youthful Movement was negligible, but the damage done to the unions was very considerable since the adherents of National Socialism were their most inveterate critics and consequently exerted a disintegrating influence from within. I entirely discountenanced all experiments whichM
were destined from the very beginning to be unsuccessful. I would have considered it criminal to deprive a worker of some part of his scanty earnings on behalf of an organisation which, according to my inner conviction, could not promise any real advantage to its members. If a new political party fades out of existence it is seldom a matter for regret, but nearly always for congratulation and nobody has a right to complain, for what each individual contributes to a political movement is given with the idea that heM
may receive no return for it.</p><blockquote><p>682</p></blockquote><p>The man who pays his dues to a trade-union has the right to expect that the promises made to him will be kept in return; if this is not done, then the promoters of such a trade-union are swindlers, or at least irresponsible persons who ought to be brought to book. The course of action we pursued in 1922 was adopted in accordance with these principles. Others thought they knew better and founded trade-unions. They upbraided us for being short-siM
ghted and failing to see into the future, but it did not take long for these organisations to disappear and the result was the same as in our own case, with this difference, that we had deceived neither ourselves nor other people.</p><blockquote><p>683</p></blockquote><blockquote><p>684</p></blockquote><blockquote><p>685</p></blockquote><h1 id="chapter-xiii-the-german-policy-of-alliances">CHAPTER XIII: THE GERMAN POLICY OF ALLIANCES</h1><p>The erratic manner in which the foreign affairs of the Reich were conducted M
was due to a lack of sound guiding principles in the formation of practical and useful alliances. Not only did this state of affairs continue after the Revolution, but it became even worse. If the confused state of our political ideas in general before the War may be looked upon as the chief cause of our defective foreign policy, in the post-war period this must be attributed to a lack of honest intentions. It was natural that those parties which had finally achieved their destructive purpose by means of the RevoluM
tion were not interested in the adoption of a policy of alliances which must ultimately result in the restoration of a free German State. A development in this direction would not have been in conformity with the purposes of the November crime; it would have interrupted, or even put an end to, the internationalisation of German national economy and German labour. Above all, it would put an end to the political repercussions within the country resulting from a foreign policy which aimed at liberating Germany, which M
would, in the long run, have been fatal to those who now wield the power in the Reich. One cannot imagine the revival of a nation unless that revival be preceded by a process of nationalisation. Conversely, every important success in the field of foreign politics must call forth a favourable reaction at home. Experience proves that every struggle for liberty increases national sentiment and national self-confidence and thereby gives rise to a keener awareness of anti-national elements and tendencies. Conditions andM
persons that may be tolerated and even pass unnoticed in times of peace will not only become the object of aversion when national enthusiasm is aroused, but will even provoke positive opposition, which frequently turns out disastrous for them.</p><blockquote><p>686</p></blockquote><p>In this connection we may recall the spy-scare that became prevalent when the war broke out, when human passion suddenly manifested itself to such a heightened degree as to lead to the most brutal persecutions, often without justifiabM
le grounds, although everybody knows that the spy danger is greater during long periods of peace. Yet, for obvious reasons, it does not then attract a similar amount of public attention. For this reason the subtle instinct of those parasites of the State who came to the surface of the national body as a result of the events which took place in November 1918 makes them feel at once that a movement to restore the freedom of our people, supported by a wise foreign policy and the consequent awakening of national feelinM
which would possibly mean the end of their own criminal existence. Thus we may explain the fact that, since 1918, the competent government departments have failed as regards foreign policy and the Government of the country has practically always worked systematically against the interests of the German nation, for that which at first sight seemed a matter of chance proved, on closer examination, to be a logical advance along the lines first openly followed by those responsible for the November Revolution of 191M
8. Undoubtedly a distinction ought to be made between, (1) the responsible administrators of our affairs of State, or rather those who ought to be responsible; (2) the average run of our parliamentary
and (3) the bulk of our people, whose sheepish docility corresponds to their want of intelligence. The first know what they want. The second fall into line with them, either because they know what is afoot, or because they have not the courage to take an uncompromising stand against a course which tM
hey know and feel to be detrimental. The third just submit because they are too stupid to understand. While the National Socialist German Labour Party was only a small and practically unknown society, problems of foreign policy could have only a secondary importance in the eyes of many of its members. This was the case especially because our Movement has always proclaimed, and must proclaim, the principle, that the freedom of the country in its foreign relations is not a gift that will be bestowed upon us by HeavenM
or by any earthly powers, but can only be the fruit of a development of our inner strength.</p><blockquote><p>687</p></blockquote><p>Only by fist rooting out the causes which led to our collapse and by eliminating all those who are profiting by that collapse can we establish the conditions necessary for the struggle for freedom abroad. It will be easily understood, therefore, why during the early stages of our young Movement
s development, we preferred to concentrate on the problem of internal reform rather thanM
on foreign policy. But, when the small and insignificant society expanded and finally outgrew its first framework, and the young organisation assumed the importance of a great association, we then felt it incumbent upon us to take a definite stand on problems regarding the development of a foreign policy. It was necessary to lay down fundamental principles which would not only be in accord with the basic ideas of our<i>Weltanschauung</i>, but would actually be an outcome of it. Just because our people have had no M
political education in matters concerning our relations abroad, it is necessary for the youthful Movement to teach its leaders and also the masses of the people, the guiding principles governing our foreign political attitude. This is the prerequisite for the practical execution of any measures adopted in our foreign policy of the future with the object of regaining the freedom of our people and of re-establishing the genuine sovereignty of the Reich. The fundamental and guiding principles which we must always bearM
in mind when studying this question are, that foreign policy is only a means to an end and that the sole end to be pursued is the welfare of our own people. Every problem in foreign politics must be considered solely from the following point of view: Will such and such a solution prove advantageous to our people now or in the future, or will it injure their interests? That is the only question which must be considered in dealing with any problem. Party politics, religious considerations, humanitarian ideals
such and all other preoccupations must, without compromise, give way to this. Before the War, the purpose to which German foreign policy should have been directed was to ensure the supply of material necessities for the maintenance of our people and their children, to prepare means for the attainment of this end and the gaining of the necessary support in the shape of advantageous alliances.</p><blockquote><p>688</p></blockquote><p>The task to be accomplished is the same to-day, but with this difference, that in prM
e-war times it was a question of caring for the maintenance of the German people, with the help of the power which a strong and independent State then possessed, but our task to-day is to make our nation powerful once again by re-establishing a strong and independent State. The re-establishment of such a State is the prerequisite and necessary condition which must be fulfilled in order that we may be able subsequently to put into practice a foreign policy which will serve to guarantee the existence, welfare and subM
sistence of our people in the future. In other words, the aim which Germany ought to pursue to-day in her foreign policy is to prepare the way for the recovery of her liberty to-morrow. In this connection there is a fundamental principle which we must bear in mind, namely, that the possibility of winning back the independence of a nation is not absolutely bound up with territorial integrity. It will suffice if a remnant, no matter how small, of a nation and State still exists, provided it possesses the necessary inM
dependence to become not only the vehicle of the common spirit of the whole people, but also to prepare the way for the military fight for the nation
s liberty. If a people numbering a hundred million souls tolerates the yoke of common slavery in order to prevent the territory belonging to its State from being broken up and divided, that is worse than it such a State and such a people were dismembered, and only one fragment still retained its complete independence. Of course, the proviso here is that this fragmenM
t is inspired with a consciousness of the solemn duty that devolves upon it, not only persistently to proclaim its spiritual and cultural unity, but also to make the necessary preparations for the military conflict which will finally liberate and re-unite the fragments suffering under oppression. One must also bear in mind the fact that the restoration of lost territories which were formerly part of the State, both ethnologically and politically, must, in the first instance, be a question of winning back political M
power and independence for the mother-country itself.</p><blockquote><p>689</p></blockquote><p>In such cases, the special interests of the lost territories must be uncompromisingly regarded as a matter of secondary importance in the face of the one main task, which is to win back the freedom of the mother-country. The liberation of oppressed or detached fragments of the population, or provinces of an empire, cannot be accomplished by reason of the wishes of the oppressed or the protests of the bereaved mother-countM
ry, but only by resort to force on the part of those sections of the one-time united parent-country which have still more or less retained their sovereign rights. Therefore, the first condition for the reconquest of lost territories is intensive promotion of the welfare, and reinforcement of the strength, of that portion of the State which remained intact after the partition. It must be allied to a cherished and indestructible determination to consecrate the fresh strength thus being developed to the cause of liberM
ating and uniting the entire nation when the time is ripe. That is to say, the interests of the separated territories must be subordinated to a single purpose, namely, to gain for the remaining portion of the original State that degree of political strength and power necessary to oppose the will of the hostile victor. Oppressed territories are not returned to the bosom of their common parent-country as a result of heated protests, but only by the power of the sword. The forging of this sword must be the aim of the M
domestic policy adopted by a country
s government, whereas it is the object of foreign policy to safeguard the forging process and to gain allies. In the first volume of this book I discussed the inadequacy of our policy of alliances before the War. There were four possible ways of securing the necessary foodstuffs for the maintenance of our people. Of these ways, the fourth, which was the most unfavourable, was chosen: Instead of a sound policy of territorial expansion in Europe, our rulers embarked on a policy M
of colonial and trade expansion. Their policy was the more mistaken, inasmuch as they presumed that in this way the danger of an armed conflict would be averted. The result of their attempt to sit on two stools at the same time might have been foreseen, they fell between them, and the World War was only the final reckoning which the Reich had to pay for the failure of its foreign policy.</p><blockquote><p>690</p></blockquote><p>The course that should have been adopted in those days was the third, which I indicated,M
namely, to increase the strength of the Reich as a continental Power by the acquisition of new territory in Europe. At the same time, a further expansion through the subsequent acquisition of colonial territory, might thus have been brought within the range of possibility. Of course, this policy could not have been carried through except in alliance with Britain, or by making such an abnormal effort to increase the country
s military strength and armament that, for forty or fifty years, all cultural undertakingsM
would have had to be completely relegated to the background. This would have been justifiable, for the cultural importance of a nation is almost always dependent on its political freedom and independence. Political freedom is a prerequisite condition for the existence, or rather the growth, of culture. Accordingly, no sacrifice can be too great when there is a question of securing the political freedom of a nation. The sacrifices which have to be made in the sphere of general culture, in favour of an intensive strM
engthening of the military power of the State will be richly rewarded later on. Indeed, it may be asserted that such a concentrated effort to preserve the independence of the State is usually succeeded by a certain easing of tension or is counterbalanced by a sudden blossoming forth of the hitherto neglected cultural spirit of the nation. Thus Greece flourished during the great Periclean era after the miseries she had suffered during the Persian Wars, and the Roman Republic turned its energies to the cultivation ofM
a higher civilisation when it was freed from the stress and troubles of the Punic Wars. Of course, it is not to be expected that a parliamentary majority of cowardly and stupid people would ever be capable of deciding on such a resolute policy entailing the absolute subordination of all other national interests to the one sole task of preparing for a future conflict of arms which would result in establishing the security of the State.</p><blockquote><p>691</p></blockquote><p>The father of Frederick the Great sacriM
ficed everything in order to be ready for such a conflict; but the fathers of our absurd parliamentarian democracy, with the Jewish hall-mark, could not do so. That is why, in pre-war times, the military preparations necessary to enable us to conquer new territory in Europe were only very mediocre, so that it was difficult to dispense with the support of really useful allies. Those who directed our foreign affairs would not entertain the bare idea of systematically preparing for war. They rejected every plan for thM
e acquisition of territory in Europe and, by preferring a policy of colonial and trade expansion, they sacrificed the alliance with England, which was then possible. At the same time, they neglected to seek the support of Russia, which would have been a logical proceeding. Finally, they stumbled into the World War, abandoned by all except the ill-starred Habsburgs. The characteristic of our present foreign policy is that it follows no discernible or even intelligible line of action. Whereas before the War, a mistakM
e was made in taking the fourth way that I have mentioned, and in pursuing it in a half-hearted manner, since the Revolution not even the then keenest observer can detect any attempt to pursue a definite course. Even more than before the War, there is absolutely no such thing as a systematic plan, except systematic attempts to destroy the last possibility of a national revival. If we make an impartial examination of the situation existing in Europe to-day as far as concerns the relation of the various Powers to oneM
another, we can establish the following facts. For the past three hundred years the history of our Continent has been definitely determined by Britain
s efforts to preserve the balance of power in Europe, thus ensuring the necessary protection of her own rear while she pursued the great aims of British world-policy. The traditional tendency of British diplomacy ever since the reign of Queen Elizabeth has been to employ systematically every possible means to prevent any one Power from attaining a preponderant posM
ition over the other European Powers and, if necessary, to break that preponderance by means of armed intervention.</p><blockquote><p>692</p></blockquote><p>The only German parallel to this has been the tradition of the Prussian Army. Throughout the centuries Britain has adopted various methods to achieve her ends, choosing them according to the actual situation or the task to be faced; but the will and determination to use them has always been the same. The more difficult Britain
s position became in the course M
of history, the more did the British Imperial Government consider it necessary to maintain a condition of political paralysis among the various European States, as a result of their mutual rivalries. When the North American colonies obtained their political independence, it became still more necessary for Britain to make every effort to establish and maintain the defence of her flank in Europe. In accordance with this policy, Britain, after having crushed the great naval Powers, Spain and Holland, concentrated all M
her forces against the increasing strength of France, until she brought about the downfall of Napoleon Bonaparte and thereby destroyed the military hegemony of France, her most dangerous rival. The change in the attitude of British statesmen towards Germany took place only very slowly, because the German nation did not represent an obvious danger for Britain as long as it lacked national unification, and because the current of public opinion in Britain
long moulded along certain lines for political purposes
ld be directed into a fresh channel only by slow degrees. In this case the calm reflections of the statesman are transformed into sentimental values which are not only more telling in effect, but also more permanent. When the statesman has attained one of his ends he immediately turns his thoughts to others; but only by degrees and by the slow process of propaganda, can the sentiment of the masses be shaped into an instrument for the attainment of the new aims which their leaders have chosen. As early as 1870/71, BM
ritain had, however, decided on the new stand she would take. On certain occasions minor oscillations in that policy were caused by the growing influence of America on the commercial markets of the world and also by the increasing political power of Russia. Unfortunately, Germany did not take advantage of these and, therefore, the original tendency of British diplomacy was reinforced.</p><blockquote><p>693</p></blockquote><p>Britain looked upon Germany as a Power which was of importance commercially and politicallyM
and which, partly because of its enormous industrial development, was assuming such threatening proportions that the two countries were already contending against one another in the same sphere. The so-called peaceful conquest of the world by commercial enterprise, which, in the eyes of those who governed our public affairs at that time, represented the highest peak of human wisdom, was just the thing that led British statesmen to adopt a policy of resistance. That this resistance assumed the form of organised aggM
ression on a vast scale was in full conformity with a type of statesmanship which did not aim at the maintenance of a dubious world peace, but aimed at the consolidation of British world-mastery. In carrying out this policy, Britain allied herself with all those countries which were of any military importance and this was in keeping with her traditional caution in estimating the power of her adversary and also in recognising her own temporary weakness. That line of conduct cannot be called unscrupulous, because sucM
h a comprehensive organisation for war purposes must not be judged from the heroic point of view, but from that of expediency. The object of a diplomatic policy is not to see that a nation perishes heroically, but rather that it survives. Hence, every road that leads to this goal is justifiable and failure to take it must be looked upon as criminal neglect of duty. When the German Revolution took place, Britain
s fears of German world-hegemony were laid to rest. From that time onward Britain has not been interestM
ed in erasing Germany from the map of Europe. On the contrary, the astounding collapse which took place in November 1918, found British diplomacy confronted with a situation which at first appeared incredible. For four and a half years the British Empire had fought to break the presumed preponderance of a continental Power. A sudden collapse then occurred which apparently removed this Power from the foreground of European affairs.</p><blockquote><p>694</p></blockquote><p>Germany betrayed such a lack of even the priM
mordial instinct of self-preservation, that European equilibrium was destroyed within forty-eight hours. Germany was annihilated and France became the first political Power on the continent of Europe. The tremendous propaganda which was carried on during the War for the purpose of encouraging the British public to
to the end aroused all the primitive instincts and passions of the populace and was bound eventually to act as a drag on the decisions of British statesmen. With the colonial, economic M
and commercial destruction of Germany, Britain
s war aims were realised. Anything in excess of these aims was an obstacle to the furtherance of British interests. Only the enemies of Britain could profit by the disappearance of Germany as a great continental Power in Europe. In November 1918, however, and up to the summer of 1919, it was not possible for Britain to change her diplomatic attitude, because during the long war she had appealed, more than ever before, to the feelings of the populace. In view of the fM
eeling prevalent among her own people, Britain could not change her foreign policy. Another reason which rendered this impossible was the military strength to which other European Powers had now attained. France had taken the direction of affairs into her own hands and could impose her law upon the others. During those months of negotiation and bargaining the only Power that could have altered the course which things were taking was Germany herself but Germany was torn asunder by a civil war, and had declared throuM
gh the medium of her so-called statesmen that she was ready to accept any and every dictate imposed on her. Now, in the history of nations, when a nation loses its instinct for self-preservation and ceases to be a possible active ally, it sinks to the level of an enslaved nation and its territory is fated to deteriorate into a colony. The only possible course which Britain could adopt in order to prevent France from becoming too powerful was to participate in her lust for aggrandisement.</p><blockquote><p>695</p></M
blockquote><p>Actually, Britain had not realised her war aims. Not only had she failed to prevent a continental Power from predominating and thus upsetting the balance of power in Europe, but she had helped to bring about this very situation and in an acute degree. In 1914, Germany, considered as a military State, was wedged in between two countries, one of which equalled, while the other excelled her in military strength. Then there was Britain
s supremacy at sea. France and Russia alone hindered and opposed theM
excessive aggrandisement of Germany. The unfavourable geographical situation of the Reich, from the military point of view, might be looked upon as another coefficient of security against an exaggerated increase of German power. In the event of a conflict with Britain, Germany
s seaboard, being short and cramped, was unfavourable from the military point of view, whilst her frontiers on land were too extensive and open to attack. France
s position is different to-day. She is the foremost military Power, withoutM
a serious rival on the Continent. Her southern frontiers are practically secure from attack by Spain and Italy, she is safeguarded against Germany by the prostrate condition of our country. A long stretch of her coast-line faces the vital nerve-centre of the British Empire. Not only could French aeroplanes and long-range batteries attack the vital industrial, commercial and administrative, centres in Great Britain, but submarines could threaten the great British commercial routes. A submarine campaign based on FraM
s long Atlantic coast and on the European and North African coasts of the Mediterranean, would have disastrous consequences for Britain. Thus the political results of the war to prevent the development of German power was the creation of French hegemony on the Continent. The military result was the consolidation of France as the first continental Power and the recognition of American equality at sea. The economic result was the cession of great spheres of British interests to her former allies and associates.M
s traditional policy renders the Balkanisation of Europe desirable and necessary up to a certain point, France aims at the Balkanisation of Germany.</p><blockquote><p>696</p></blockquote><p>What Britain has always desired, and will continue to desire, is to prevent any one continental Power in Europe from attaining a position of world-importance. Therefore, Britain wishes to maintain the balance of power in Europe, for this appears to be the prerequisite of British world hegemony. What France hasM
always desired, and will continue to desire, is to prevent Germany from becoming a homogeneous Power. Therefore, France wants to maintain a system of small German States, whose forces would balance one another and over which there would be no central government. This, in conjunction with the French occupation of the left bank of the Rhine, would furnish the conditions necessary for the establishment and guarantee of French hegemony in Europe. The final aims of French diplomacy will inevitably be in perpetual opposM
ition to the ultimate tendencies of British statesmanship. Taking these considerations as a starting-point, anyone who investigates the possible alliances which Germany could form to-day, is forced to the conclusion that the only course open to Germany is a rapprochement with Great Britain. Although the consequences of Britain
s war policy were, and are, disastrous for Germany, we cannot close our eyes to the fact that, as things stand to-day, Britain
s vital interests no longer demand the destruction of GermanM
y. On the contrary, British policy must tend more and more, from year to year, towards curbing France
s unbridled lust for hegemony. Now, a policy of alliances cannot be pursued by bearing past grievances in mind, but it can be rendered fruitful by taking account of past experiences. Experience should have taught us that alliances formed for negative purposes are intrinsically weak. The destinies of nations can be welded together only by the prospect of a common success, of common gain and conquest, in short, a cM
ommon extension of power for both contracting parties. Our people
s lack of insight in questions of foreign politics is clearly demonstrated by the reports in the daily press, which talk about the
of one or the other foreign statesman, this assumed pro-German attitude being taken as a special guarantee that such persons will champion a policy that will be advantageous to our people.</p><blockquote><p>697</p></blockquote><p>That kind of talk is absurd to an incredible degree and reckons wM
ith the unparalleled simplicity of the average German Philistine when he comes to talking politics. There is no British, American, or Italian statesman who could ever be described as
Every British statesman is, first and foremost, a Britisher, the American statesman, an American, and no Italian statesman would be prepared to adopt a policy that was not pro-Italian. Therefore, anyone who expects to form alliances with foreign nations on the basis of a pro-German feeling among the statesmen of otherM
countries is either a fool or a deceiver. The necessary condition for linking together the destinies of nations is never mutual esteem or mutual sympathy, but rather the prospect of advantages accruing to the contracting parties. Although it is true that a British statesman will always follow a pro-British and not a pro-German policy, it is also true that certain definite interests involved in this pro-British policy may, for various reasons, coincide with German interests. Naturally, that can be so only to a certM
ain degree and the situation may one day be completely reversed. But the art of the statesman consists in finding at the crucial moment, for the execution of his own vital policy, those allies who must, in their own interests, adopt a similar course. The practical application of these principles at the present time must depend on the answers to the following questions: What States are not vitally interested in the fact that, by the complete abolition of a German Central Europe, the economic and military power of FrM
ance has reached a position of absolute hegemony? Which are the States that, in consideration of the conditions which are essential to their own existence and in view of the tradition that has hitherto been followed in conducting their foreign policy, envisage such a development as a menace to their own future? One point on which we must be clear is that France is, and will remain, the implacable enemy of Germany.</p><blockquote><p>698</p></blockquote><p>It does not matter what governments have ruled or will rule iM
n France, whether Bourbon or Jacobin, Napoleonist or bourgeois-democratic, clerical Republican or Red Bolshevik, their foreign policy will always be directed towards acquiring possession of the Rhine frontier and consolidating France
s position on this river by disuniting and dismembering Germany. Britain did not want Germany to be a world-power, but France did not want Germany as a Power to exist at all
a very different matter! To-day we are not fighting for our position as a world-power, but only for the exisM
tence of our country, for national unity and our children
s daily bread. Taking this point of view into consideration, only two States remain to us as possible allies in Europe, namely, Britain and Italy. Britain is by no means desirous of having a France on whose military power there is no check in Europe, with the result that she might one day pursue a policy which, in some way or other, would inevitably conflict with British interests. Nor can Britain be pleased to see France in possession of such enormous coaM
l and iron fields in Western Europe, which might make it possible for her one day to play a role in world-commerce which might endanger British interests. Moreover, Britain will never be desirous of having a France whose political position on the Continent, owing to the dismemberment of the rest of Europe, seems so absolutely assured that she is riot only able to resume a French world-policy on a large scale, but even finds herself compelled to do so. It would be possible for an enemy to drop nightly a thousand timM
es as many bombs as the Zeppelins did in the past. The military predominance of France weighs heavily on the minds of the British. Italy is another Power which cannot, and surely will not, welcome any further strengthening of France
s power in Europe. The future of Italy will be conditioned by developments in the territories bordering on the Mediterranean. The reason that made Italy come into the War was not a desire to contribute towards the aggrandisement of France, but rather to deal her hated Adriatic rival aM
mortal blow.</p><blockquote><p>699</p></blockquote><p>Any further increase of France
s power on the Continent would hamper the development of Italy
s future, and Italy does not deceive herself into thinking that racial kinship between the nations will in any way eliminate rivalries. Serious and impartial consideration proves that it is these two Powers, Great Britain and Italy, whose natural interests not only do not run counter to the conditions essential to the existence of the German nation, but are to a ceM
rtain extent identical with them. When we consider the possibility of alliances we must be careful not to lose sight of three factors. The first factor concerns ourselves; the other two concern the States in question. Is it at all possible to conclude an alliance with Germany as she is to-day? Can a Power which would enter into an alliance for the purpose of securing assistance in the execution of its own offensive aims form an alliance with a State, whose rulers have, for years, presented a spectacle of deplorableM
incompetence and pacifist cowardice? A State where the majority of the nation, blinded by democratic and Marxist teachings, betrays the interests of its own people and country in a manner that cries to Heaven for vengeance? As things stand to-day, can any Power hope to establish useful relations with a State and hope to fight together for the furtherance of their common interests, if this State has neither the will nor the courage to lift a finger in defence of its bare existence? Can a Power for which an allianceM
must be much more than a pact to guarantee a state of slow decomposition on the lines of the old and disastrous Triple Alliance, associate itself for life or death with a State whose most characteristic signs of activity consist in an abject servility in external relations and a scandalous repression of the national spirit at home? Can such a Power be associated with a State in which there is nothing of greatness, because its whole policy does not deserve it? Or can alliances be made with governments which are in M
the hands of men who are despised by their own fellow-citizens and are consequently not respected abroad?</p><blockquote><p>700</p></blockquote><p>Never! A self-respecting Power which expects something more from alliances than commissions for greedy parliamentarians will not, and cannot, enter into an alliance with our present-day Germany. Our present inability to form alliances furnishes the principal and most profound reason for the solidarity of the enemies who are robbing us. Because Germany does not defend herM
self in any way apart from the flamboyant protests of our parliamentarian elect; because there is no reason why the rest of the world should take up the fight in our defence; and because God does not follow the principle of granting freedom to a nation of cowards, despite all the blubbering prayers addressed to Him by our
associations; even those States which have not a direct interest in our annihilation cannot do otherwise than participate in France
s campaign of plunder
if for no other reasonM
than that, by their participation, they at least prevent France from being the sole country to be aggrandised thereby. In the second place, we must not underestimate the difficulty of changing the opinion of the bulk of the population in former enemy countries, which had been influenced in a certain direction by means of propaganda. When a foreign nation has for years been presented to the public as a horde of
etc., it cannot suddenly be presented as something different, aM
nd the enemy of yesterday cannot be recommended as the ally of to-morrow. A third factor, however, deserves greater attention, since it is of essential importance for the establishment of future alliances in Europe. From the political point of view it is not in the interests of Great Britain that Germany should be ruined still more, but such a development would be very much in the interests of the Jews who manipulate the international money-markets. The cleavage between official, or rather traditional, British statM
esmanship and the controlling influence of the Jew on the money-markets is nowhere so clearly manifested as in the various attitudes adopted towards problems of British foreign policy.</p><blockquote><p>701</p></blockquote><p>Contrary to the interests and welfare of Great Britain, Jewish finance demands not only the absolute economic destruction of Germany, but its complete political enslavement. The internationalisation of our German economic system, that is to say, the transference of our productive forces to theM
control of Jewish international finance, can be completely carried out only in a State that has been politically Bolshevised. But the Marxist fighting forces of international and Jewish stock-exchange capital cannot finally smash the German national State without friendly, help from outside. To this end the armies of France will have to attack Germany until the Reich, inwardly cowed, succumbs to the Bolshevist storm-troops of international money-grubbing Jewry. Hence it is that, at the present time, the Jew is theM
chief agitator for the complete destruction of Germany. Whenever we read of Germany being attacked in any part of the world the Jew is always the instigator. In peace-time as well as during the War the Jewish-Marxist stock-exchange press systematically stirred up hatred against Germany, until one State after another abandoned its neutrality and placed itself at the service of the Allies in the World War, even against the real interests of its own people. The Jewish way of reasoning is quite clear. The BolshevisatiM
on of Germany, that is to say, the extermination of the<i>v
lkisch</i>and national German intellectuals, and the resultant exploitation of German labour under the yoke of Jewish international finance, is only the overture to the movement for expanding Jewish power on a wider scale and finally subjugating the world to its rule. As has so often happened in the course of history, Germany is the chief pivot of this formidable struggle. If our people and our State fall victims to these oppressors of the nations, who luM
st after blood and gold, the whole earth will become the prey of that hydra-headed monster. If Germany succeeds in freeing herself, from its grip, this great menace to the nations of the world will thereby be eliminated.</p><blockquote><p>702</p></blockquote><p>It is certain that Jewry will resort to every possible underhand device in order not only to keep alive the old anti-German feeling among other nations, but to intensify it if possible. It is no less certain that these activities are only very partially in kM
eeping with the true interests of the nations among whom the poison is being spread. As a general principle, Jewry carries on its campaign in the various countries by the use of arguments that are best calculated to appeal to the mentality of the respective nations and are most likely to produce the desired results. Our nation has been so torn asunder racially that it is easy for Jewry in its fight for power to make use of the more or less
and pacifist ideas, in short, the international tendencieM
s, which are the result of this disruption. In France, the Jews exploit the well-known and accurately estimated chauvinistic spirit. In England, they exploit the commercial and world political outlook. In short, they always work upon the essential characteristics peculiar to the mentality of each nation. When they have by this means achieved a decisive influence in the political and economic spheres, they can drop the pretence which their former tactics necessitated, now disclosing their real intentions and the endM
s for which they are fighting. Their work of destruction now goes ahead more quickly, reducing one State after another to a mass of ruins on which they will erect the everlasting and sovereign Jewish Empire. In England, and also in Italy, the contrast between the better kind of native statesmanship and the policy of the Jewish financiers often becomes strikingly evident. Only in France does there exist to-day, in a greater degree than ever before, a profound harmony between the aims of the Stock Exchange, of the JeM
ws who control it and those of a chauvinistic national policy. This identity of purpose constitutes an immense danger for Germany and it is for this very reason that France is, and will remain, by far her most dangerous enemy.</p><blockquote><p>703</p></blockquote><p>The French nation, which is becoming more and more polluted by Negro blood, represents a menace to the existence of the white race in Europe, because it is bound up with the Jewish campaign for world domination. The contamination caused by the influx oM
f Negroid blood on the Rhine, in the very heart of Europe, is in accord with the sadistic and perverse lust for vengeance on the part of the hereditary enemy of our people. This suits the purpose of the cool, calculating Jew, who would use this means of beginning a process of bastardisation in the very centre of the European continent and, by infecting the white race with the blood of an inferior stock, destroy the foundations of its independent existence. France
s activities in Europe to-day, spurred on by the FM
rench lust for vengeance and systematically directed by the Jew, are a criminal attack upon the existence of the white races and will one day arouse against the French people a spirit of vengeance among a generation which will recognise racial pollution as the original sin of mankind. As far as Germany is concerned, the danger which France represents, makes it her duty to relegate all sentiment to a subordinate plane and to extend a hand to those who are threatened with the same menace and who are not willing to suM
ffer or tolerate France
s lust for hegemony. For a long time to come there will be only two Powers in Europe with which it may be possible for Germany to conclude an alliance. These Powers are Great Britain and Italy. If we take the trouble to review the way in which German foreign policy has been conducted since the Revolution we must, in view of the constant and incomprehensible failure of our governments, either lose heart or be overcome with rage and take up the cudgels against such a regime. Their way of actM
ing cannot be attributed to a want of understanding, because what seemed to every thinking man to be inconceivable was accomplished by the leaders of the November parties, with their Cyclopean intellects. They wooed France and begged her favour. Indeed, throughout these past years, they have, with the touching simplicity of incorrigible visionaries, gone on their knees to France again and again, they have grovelled before the Grande Nation, and thought they recognised in each successive wily trick performed by the M
French hangmen the first signs of a change of feeling.</p><blockquote><p>704</p></blockquote><p>Our real political wire-pullers never shared this absurd credulity. The idea of establishing a friendship with France was for them only a means of thwarting every attempt on Germany
s part to adopt a practical policy of alliances. They had no illusions about French aims or those of the men behind the scenes in France. What induced them to take up such an attitude and to act as if they honestly believed that the fate ofM
Germany could possibly be changed in this way, was the cool calculation that otherwise our people might take the reins into their own hands and choose another road. Of course, it is difficult for us, even within the framework of our own Movement, to propose Britain as our possible ally in the future. Our Jewish press has been adept in concentrating hatred against Britain, in particular, and many of our good German simpletons perched on the branches which the Jews had lined to fool them. They babbled about a restorM
ation of German sea-power and protested against the robbery of our colonies. Thus they furnished material which the contriving Jew transmitted to his clansmen in England, to be used there for purposes of practical propaganda. It is high time that even our easily duped bourgeoisie, which loves to dabble in politics, realised that to-day we have not to fight for
and the like. Even before the War it was absurd to direct the national energies of Germany towards this end without first having secured our M
position in Europe. Such an aspiration to-day reaches that peak of absurdity which may be called criminal in the domain of politics. The success of the Jewish wire-pullers in concentrating the attention of the people on things which are only of secondary importance to-day was often calculated to, drive one to despair. They incited the people to demonstrations and protests while at the same time France was tearing our nation asunder bit by bit and systematically removing the very foundations of our national independM
ence.</p><blockquote><p>705</p></blockquote><p>In this connection I have in mind one particular bone of contention of which the Jew has made extraordinarily skilful use in recent years, namely, South Tyrol. The reason why I take up this question here is that I want to call to account that shameless canaille, who, relying on the ignorance and short memory of a large section of our people, simulate a national indignation which is as foreign to the real character of our parliamentary imposters as the idea of respect fM
or private property is to a jackdaw. I should like to state here that I was one of those who, at the time when the fate of South Tyrol was being decided
that is to say, from August 1914 to November 1918
took their place where that country could be most effectively defended, namely, in the Army. I did my share of the fighting during those years, not merely to save South Tyrol from being lost, but also to save every other German province for the Fatherland. The parliamentary highwaymen, the whole gang of party poM
liticians, did not take part in that combat. On the contrary, while we carried on the fight in the belief that a victorious issue to the War would enable the German nation to keep South Tyrol, along with other frontier provinces, these traitors carried on a seditious agitation against such a victorious issue, until the fighting Siegfried succumbed to the dagger-thrust in his back. The inflammatory and hypocritical speeches of the elegantly dressed parliamentarians in the Vienna Rathaus Plat or in front of the FeldhM
errnhalle in Munich could not save South Tyrol for Germany. That could have been done only by the battalions fighting at the front. Those who broke up that fighting front betrayed South Tyrol, together with all the other provinces of Germany. Anyone who thinks that the South Tyrolean question can be solved to-day by protests, declarations and processions organised by various associations, is either a humbug or merely a German Philistine. It must be quite clearly understood that we shall not get back the territoriesM
we have lost if we depend on solemn prayers addressed to Almighty God or on pious faith in a League of Nations, but only by the force of arms. The only question is, therefore: Who is ready to take up arms for the restoration of the lost territories?</p><blockquote><p>706</p></blockquote><p>As far as I myself am concerned, I can state with a good conscience, that I would have courage enough to take part in a campaign for the reconquest of South Tyrol, at the head of parliamentarian storm battalions consisting of paM
rliamentary gasconaders, other party leaders and various Councillors of State. How I should enjoy seeing the shrapnel burst above the heads of those taking part in an
protest demonstration! I think that if a fox were to break into a poultry-yard his presence would not provoke such a helter-skelter and rush for cover as we should witness in the case of such a fine assembly of
The vilest part of it all is, that these talkers themselves do not believe that anything can be achieved M
in this way. Each one of them knows very well how harmless and ineffectual their whole play-acting is. They do it only because it is easier to babble about the restoration of South Tyrol now, than it was to fight for its preservation in days gone by. Each one plays the part that he is best suited to play in life. In those days we sacrificed our lives. To-day these people are engaged in shouting themselves hoarse. It is particularly interesting to note to-day how Legitimist circles in Vienna preen themselves on theiM
r work for the restoration of South Tyrol. Seven years ago their august and illustrious dynasty helped, by an act of perjury and treason, to make it possible for the victorious world-coalition to take away South Tyrol. At that time these circles supported the perfidious policy adopted by their dynasty and did not trouble themselves in the least about the fate of South Tyrol or any other province. Naturally, it is easier to-day to take up the fight for this territory, since the present struggle is waged with
weapons of the mind.
Anyhow it is easier to join in a
and talk yourself hoarse in giving vent to the righteous indignation that fills your breast, or stain your finger with the writing of a newspaper article, than to blow up a bridge, for instance, during the occupation of the Ruhr.</p><blockquote><p>707</p></blockquote><p>The reason why certain circles have made the question of South Tyrol the pivot of German-Italian relations during the past few years is quite evident. Jews and HabsburM
g Legitimists are greatly interested in preventing Germany from pursuing a policy of alliance which might one day lead to the resurgence of a free German Fatherland. It is not out of love for South Tyrol that they play this role to-day
for their policy would turn out detrimental rather than helpful to the interests of that province
but through fear of an agreement being established between Germany and Italy. A tendency towards lying and calumny is inborn in these people, and that explains how they can calmly anM
d brazenly attempt to twist things in such a way as to make it appear that we have
South Tyrol. One thing must be made clear to these gentlemen, namely, that South Tyrol was betrayed, in the first place, by every German who was sound in wind and limb and was not at the front during the years 1914
1918 to do his duty to his country. In the second place, South Tyrol was betrayed by every man who, during those years, did not help to reinforce the national spirit and the national powers of resistance, M
so as to enable the country to carry on the war and keep up the fight to the very end. In the third place, South Tyrol was betrayed by everyone who took part in the November Revolution, either directly by co-operation, or indirectly by a cowardly toleration of it, and thus destroyed the sole weapon that could have saved South Tyrol. In the fourth place, South Tyrol was betrayed by those parties and their adherents who put their signatures to the disgraceful treaties of Versailles and St. Germain. Thus the matter stM
ands, my brave gentlemen, who make your protests only in words. To-day I am guided by a calm and cool recognition of the fact that the lost territories cannot be won back by the glib tongues of parliamentary speechifiers, but only by the whetted sword; in other words, through a fight in which blood will be shed.</p><blockquote><p>708</p></blockquote><p>I have, therefore, no hesitation in saying that now the die is cast, it is impossible to win back South Tyrol through a war. In fact, I would definitely take my stanM
d against such a move, because I am convinced that it would not be possible to arouse the national enthusiasm of the German people to the pitch necessary to carry such a war to a successful issue. On the contrary, I believe that if we have to shed German blood once again it would be criminal to do so for the sake of liberating two hundred thousand Germans, when close at hand more than seven million Germans are suffering under a foreign yoke, while a life-line of the German nation has become a playground for hordes M
of African Negroes. If the German nation is to put an end to a state of things which threatens to wipe it off the map of Europe, it must not fall into the error of the pre-war period and make the whole world its enemy. It must ascertain who is its most dangerous enemy, so that it can concentrate all its forces in a struggle to rout him, and if, in order to gain the victory in this struggle, sacrifices have to be made elsewhere, future generations will not condemn us on that account. The more brilliant the resultingM
victory, the better will they be able to appreciate the dice necessity and the deep anxiety which led us to make that bitter decision. We must always be guided by the fundamental principle that, as a preliminary to winning back lost provinces, the political independence and strength of the mother-country must first be restored. The first task which a strong government must accomplish in the sphere of foreign politics is to make that independence possible and to secure it by a wise policy of alliances, but it is juM
st on this point that we National Socialists have to guard against being dragged along in tow by our ranting bourgeois patriots who take their cue from the Jew. It would be a disaster if, instead of preparing for the coming struggle, our Movement, too, were to content itself with mere protests by word of mouth. It was the fantastic idea of a Nibelungen alliance with the rotting body of the Habsburg State that brought about Germany
s ruin. Fantastic sentimentality in dealing with the possibilities arising in the fM
ield of foreign politics to-day would be the best means of preventing our revival for innumerable years to come.</p><blockquote><p>709</p></blockquote><p>Here I must briefly answer the objections which may be raised in connection with the three questions I have put.</p><ol><li>Is it possible to form an alliance with present-day Germany whose weakness is obvious to all?</li><li>Can the enemy nations change their attitude towards Germany?</li><li>Is not the influence of Jewry stronger than the recognition of facts, aM
nd does not this influence thwart all good intentions and render all plans futile?</li></ol><p>I think that I have already dealt adequately with one aspect of the first question. Of course nobody will enter into an alliance with present-day Germany. No Power in the world would link its fortunes with those of a State whose government does not afford grounds for the slightest confidence. I strongly object to the attempt which has been made by many of our compatriots to explain and excuse the conduct of the governmentM
by referring to the woeful state of public feeling. The lack of character which our people have shown during the last six years is indeed deeply distressing. The indifference with which they have treated the crying needs of our nation is depressing in the extreme and their cowardice is often revolting, but one must never forget that we are dealing with a people who gave the world, a few years previously, an admirable example of the highest human qualities. From the first days of August 1914 to the end of the tremeM
ndous struggle between the nations, no people in the world gave a better proof of manly courage, tenacity and patient endurance, than this people which is so cast down and dispirited to-day. Nobody dare assert that our humiliating position to-day is in keeping with the true character of our nation. What we have to endure to-day, physically and spiritually, is due only to the appalling, soul destroying influence of the act of high treason committed on November 9th, 1918. More than ever before the poet is right when M
he says that evil must inevitably continue to breed evil.</p><blockquote><p>710</p></blockquote><p>But even to-day, the fundamentally sound qualities of our nation are not dead, they are only dormant in the depths of the national conscience, and sometimes in the clouded firmament we see the gleam of qualities which Germany will one day remember as the first symptoms of a revival. More than once thousands of young Germans have rallied to a call, resolved, as in 1914, freely and willingly to offer themselves as a sacM
rifice on the altar of their beloved Fatherland. Millions of men have resumed work, whole-heartedly and zealously, as if no revolution had ever affected them. The smith is at his anvil once again, the farmer is driving his plough and the scientist is in his laboratory
all doing their duty, with the same zeal and devotion as formerly. The oppression which we suffer at the hands of our enemies is no longer accepted, as formerly, with a laugh and a shrug, but is resented with bitterness and anger. There can be no doM
ubt that a great change of attitude has taken place. This change has not yet taken the shape of a conscious intention and urge to restore the political power and independence of our nation, but the blame for this must be attributed to those who, less in response to a heaven-sent call than in order to satisfy their own ambition, have been governing our nation since 1918 and leading it to ruin. If any man seeks to sit in judgment upon our nation to-day he must ask himself,
What has been done to help it?
poor support which the nation gave the resolutions passed by our governments (which were of a shadowy nature) a sign of our nation
s lack of vitality or was it not rather a sign of the complete failure of the methods employed in administering this valuable trust? What have our governments done to reawaken in this nation a spirit of proud self-assertion, courageous defiance and righteous hatred? In 1919, when the Peace Treaty was imposed on the German nation, these were grounds for hoping that this instrument of M
unrestricted oppression would help to reinforce the outcry for the freedom of Germany.</p><blockquote><p>711</p></blockquote><p>Peace treaties which make demands that fall like a whip-lash on the people turn out not infrequently to be the signal for a future revival. How could the Treaty of Versailles have been exploited! How, in the hands of a willing government, could this instrument of unlimited blackmail and shameful humiliation have been applied for the purpose of rousing national sentiment to fever-pitch! HowM
could a well-directed system of propaganda have utilised the sadistic cruelty of that treaty in order to change the indifference of the people into a feeling of indignation and transform that indignation into a spirit of dauntless resistance! Every clause of that treaty should have been branded upon the hearts and minds of the German people until, in the souls of sixty million men and women, a common sense of shame and a hatred shared in common burst into flame like a torrent of fire, in the heat of which were forM
ged an inflexible resolve and the cry,
A treaty of that kind can be used for such a purpose. Its unbounded oppression and its impudent demands were an excellent propaganda weapon to arouse the sluggish spirit of the nation and restore its vitality. Then, every type of reading-matter from the child
s story-book to the last newspaper in the country, every theatre and cinema, every pillar where placards are posted and every free space on the hoardings should be utilised in the service of thiM
s one great mission; until the faint-hearted cry of
which our patriotic associations send up to Heaven to-day was transformed, even in the mind of the smallest child, into the ardent prayer,
Almighty God, bless our arms when the hour comes. Be just, as Thou hast always been just. Judge now if we deserve our freedom. Lord, bless our struggle.
All opportunities were neglected and nothing was done. Who can be surprised if our people are not such as they should be or might be, when the resM
t of the world looks upon us only as its valet, or as an obedient dog that will lick his master
s hand after he has been whipped. Of course the possibility of forming alliances with other nations is hampered by the indifference of our own people, but much more by our government. Their corrupting influence is to blame for the fact that now, after eight years of indescribable oppression, there exists only a faint desire for liberty.</p><blockquote><p>712</p></blockquote><p>Before our nation can embark upon a policyM
of alliances, it must restore its prestige among other nations, and it must have an authoritative government that is not a drudge in the service of foreign States and the taskmaster of its own people, but rather the herald of the national will. If our people had a government which looked upon this as its mission, a courageous foreign policy pursued by the Reich government would, before six years had elapsed, enjoy the equally courageous support of a people yearning for freedom. The second objection referred to theM
difficulty of changing ex-enemy nations into friendly allies. That objection may be answered as follows: The general anti-German psychosis which has developed in other countries through war-propaganda must of necessity continue to exist as long as there is no renascence of the national instinct of self-preservation among the German people. The appearance of such an instinct will transform the German Reich once more into a State able to play its part on the chess-board of European politics and one which the others M
regard as a worthy partner. Only when the government and the people give evidence of their fitness to enter into an alliance will some Power, whose interests coincide with ours, set about instituting a system of propaganda for the purpose of changing public opinion among its own people. Naturally, it will take several years of persevering and ably directed work to achieve such a result. Just because a long period is needed in order to change the public opinion of a country, it is necessary to reflect calmly before M
such an enterprise be undertaken. This means that one must not enter upon this kind of work unless one is absolutely convinced that it is worth the trouble and that it will bring results which will bear good fruit in the future. One must not try to change the opinions and feelings of a people by basing one
s actions on the vain cajolery of a more or less brilliant Foreign Minister, but only if there be a tangible guarantee that the new orientation will be really useful.</p><blockquote><p>713</p></blockquote><p>OtM
herwise, public opinion in the country concerned would be plunged into a state of complete confusion. The most reliable guarantee that can be given for the possibility of subsequently entering into an alliance with a certain State is not to be found in the loquacious suavity of some individual member of the government, but in the manifest stability of a definite and practical policy on the part of the government as a whole, and in public opinion which is solidly of the same mind. Universal faith in this policy willM
be strengthened in the same measure in which the government give tangible evidence of their activity through the medium of preparatory and supporting propaganda and in the measure in which the trend of public opinion is reflected in the government
s policy. Therefore, a nation in such a position as ours will be looked upon as a possible ally only when public opinion and the government are united in the same enthusiastic and openly avowed determination to carry through the fight for national freedom. That conditiM
on of affairs must be firmly established before any attempt can be made to change public opinion in other countries which, for the sake of defending their own interests, are disposed to take the road shoulder-to-shoulder with a companion who seems able to play his part in defending those interests
in other words, they are ready to establish an alliance. For this purpose, however, one thing is necessary. Seeing that the task of bringing about a radical change in the public opinion of a country calls for hard work
and many will at first not understand what that means
it would be both foolish and criminal to commit mistakes which could be used as weapons in the hands of those who are opposed to such a change. One must recognise the fact that it takes a long time for a people to understand completely the inner purposes which a government has in view, because it is not possible to explain the ultimate aims of the preliminary steps undertaken with a view to pursuing a certain policy. The government has to count on the blind M
faith of the masses or the intuitive instinct of the more intellectually developed ruling caste
but since many people lack this insight and political acumen, and since political considerations forbid a public explanation of why such and such a course is being followed
a certain number of leaders in intellectual circles will always oppose new tendencies which, because they are not easily grasped, can easily be regarded in the light of mere experiments.</p><blockquote><p>714</p></blockquote><p>It is in this way tM
hat the opposition of over-anxious conservative circles is aroused. For this reason it is our bounden duty not to allow any weapon to fall into the hands of those who would interfere with the work of bringing about a mutual understanding with other nations. This is especially so when, as in our case, we have to deal with the pretensions and unpractical talk of our patriotic associations and our small bourgeoisie who air their political opinions in the caf
s. That the cry for a new navy, the restoration of our coloM
nies, etc., is just silly talk which is not based on any plan for its practical execution, cannot be denied by anyone who thinks over the matter calmly and seriously. At the same time the manner in which Britain exploits the foolish tirades of these champions of the policy of protest who are in reality playing into the hands of our mortal enemies cannot be considered advantageous to Germany. These people dissipate their energies in futile demonstrations against everything and everybody which is harmful to our interM
ests and those who indulge in them forget the fundamental principle which is a preliminary condition of all success, namely, that if a thing is worth doing, it is worth doing well. Because they keep on grumbling against five or ten States, they fail to concentrate all the forces of our national will and our physical strength for a blow at the heart of our most bitter enemy and in this way they sacrifice the possibility of securing an alliance which would reinforce our strength for that decisive conflict. Here, too,M
there is a mission for National Socialism to fulfil. It must teach our people not to fix their attention on the little things, but rather on major issues, not to exhaust their energies on questions of secondary importance and not to forget that the object for which we have to fight to-day is the bare existence of our people and that the sole enemy at whom we must strike, is the Power which is robbing us of that existence.</p><blockquote><p>715</p></blockquote><p>It may be that we shall have to swallow many a bitteM
r pill, but this is by no means an excuse for refusing to listen to reason or for raising a stupid and useless outcry against the rest of the world, instead of concentrating all our forces against our most deadly enemy. Moreover, the German people will have no moral right to complain of the manner in which the rest of the world acts towards them, as long as they themselves have not called to account those criminals who sold and betrayed their country. We are not acting sincerely if we indulge in long-range abuse anM
d protests against Britain and Italy and then allow those scoundrels to go scotfree, who, acting in the pay of the enemy, wrested the weapons out of our hands, broke the backbone of our resistance and bartered away the paralysed Reich for thirty pieces of silver. Our enemies are acting in the only way in which they could be expected to act, and we ought to learn a lesson from their behaviour. Anyone who cannot rise to the level of this outlook must reflect that otherwise there would be nothing for us to do except tM
o resign ourselves to our lot, since a policy of alliances would be impossible for all time. For if we cannot form an alliance with Britain because she has robbed us of our colonies, or with Italy because she has taken possession of South Tyrol, or with Poland or Czechoslovakia, then there remains no other possibility of an alliance in Europe except with France which, inter alia, has robbed us of Alsace and Lorraine. There can scarcely be any doubt as to whether this last alternative would be advantageous to the GeM
rman people; the only matter for doubt is whether he who upholds such opinions is merely a simpleton or an astute rogue. As far as the leaders are concerned, I think the latter hypothesis is true. A change in public feeling among those nations which have hitherto been enemies and whose true interests will, in the future, coincide with ours could be effected, as far as one can foresee, if the internal strength of our State and our manifest determination to secure our own existence made it clear that we should prove M
valuable allies. Moreover, it is essential that incompetence or even criminal bungling should not furnish grounds which may be utilised for purposes of propaganda by those who would oppose our projects for establishing an alliance with one or other of our former enemies.</p><blockquote><p>716</p></blockquote><p>The answer to the third question is the most difficult. Is it conceivable that those who represent the true interests of those nations which may possibly form an alliance with us could put their views into pM
ractice against the will of the Jew, who is the mortal enemy of national and independent States? For instance, could the motive forces of Great Britain
s traditional statesmanship smash the disastrous influence of the Jew, or could they not? This question, as I have already said, is very difficult to answer. The answer depends on so many factors that it is impossible to form a conclusive judgment. One thing, at least, is certain: There is, at the present time, one State in which the regime is so firmly establisheM
d and so absolutely at the service of the country
s interests that the forces of international Jewry could not possibly organise a real and effective obstruction of measures considered to be politically necessary. The fight which Fascist Italy waged against Jewry
s three principal weapons, even if it be to a great extent subconscious (though I do not believe this myself), furnishes the best proof that the poison-fangs of that power which transcends all State boundaries are being drawn, even though in an indirecM
t way. The prohibition of freemasonry and secret societies, the suppression of the international press and the definite abolition of Marxism, together with the steadily increasing consolidation of the Fascist concept of the State
all this will enable the Italian Government, in the course of years, to advance more and more the interests of the Italian people without paying any attention to the hissing of the Jewish world-hydra. The situation in Britain is not so favourable. In that country of
it is the Jew who, even to-day, can impose his will practically without let or hindrance, through his hold on public opinion. And yet there is a perpetual struggle in Britain between those who are entrusted with the defence of state interests and the protagonists of Jewish world-dictatorship. To what extent these two tendencies run counter to one another became obvious for the first time when, after the War, British statesmen adopted one attitude with regard to the Japanese problem, while the press took up a diffM
erent one.</p><blockquote><p>717</p></blockquote><p>Immediately after the cessation of hostilities, the old mutual antipathy between America and Japan began to reappear. Naturally, the great European Powers could not remain indifferent to this new war menace. In Britain, despite the ties of kinship, there was a certain amount of jealousy and anxiety over the growing importance of the United States in all spheres of international economics and politics. What was formerly a colonial territory, the daughter of a greatM
mother, seemed about to become the new mistress of the world. It is quite understandable that to-day Britain should re-examine her old alliances and that British statesmen should look anxiously ahead to a day when the cry will no longer be,
Britannia rules the waves
The seas belong to the United States.
The gigantic North American State, with the enormous resources of its virgin soil, is much more invulnerable than the encircled German Reich. Should a day come when the fate of the nations M
will have to be decided, Britain would be doomed, if she stood alone. Therefore she eagerly reaches out her hand to a yellow race and enters upon an alliance which, from the racial point of view is perhaps unpardonable; but from the political standpoint it represents the sole possibility of reinforcing Britain
s world position in face of the tremendous developments taking place on the American continent. Thus, despite the fact that Britain and America fought side by side on the battlefields of Europe, the BritishM
Government could not decide to break off the alliance with their Asiatic partner, yet the whole Jewish press opposed the idea of a Japanese alliance. How can we explain the fact that up to 1918, the Jewish press championed the policy of the British Government against the German Reich and then suddenly veered round and began to go its own way. It was not in the interests of Great Britain to have Germany annihilated, but primarily a Jewish interest, and to-day the destruction of Japan would serve British political iM
nterests less than it would serve the far-reaching intentions of those who are leading the movement that hopes to establish a Jewish world-empire.</p><blockquote><p>718</p></blockquote><p>While Britain is making every effort to maintain her position in the world, the Jew is laying his plans for its conquest. He already sees the present European States as pliant instruments in his hands, whether indirectly through the power of so-called Western Democracy or in the form of direct domination through Russian BolshevismM
. But it is not only the Old World that he holds in his snare; alike fate threatens the New World. Jews control the financial forces of America on the Stock Exchange. Year after year the Jew increases his hold on labour in a nation of one hundred and twenty million souls, but a very small section still remains quite independent and is thus a cause of chagrin to the Jew. The Jews show consummate skill in manipulating public opinion and forge from it a weapon to be wielded in the struggle for their own future. The grM
eat leaders of Jewry are confident that the day is near at hand when the promise given in the Old Testament will be fulfilled and the Jews will rule the other nations of the earth. Among this great mass of de-nationalised countries which have become Jewish colonies one independent State could bring about the ruin of the whole structure at the last moment, the reason being that Bolshevism as a worldsystem cannot continue to exist unless it encompasses the whole earth. Should one State alone preserve its national strM
ength and its national greatness the empire of the Jewish satraps, like every other form of tyranny, would succumb to the force of the national idea. As a result of his millennial experience in accommodating himself to surrounding circumstances, the Jew knows very well that he can undermine the existence of European nations by a process of racial bastardisation, but that he could hardly do the same to an Asiatic national State like Japan. To-day he can ape the ways of the German and the Englishman, the American andM
the Frenchman, but he has no means of approach to the yellow Asiatic.<blockquote><p>719</p></blockquote><p>Therefore, he seeks to destroy the Japanese national State by using other national States as his instruments, so that he may rid himself of a dangerous opponent before he takes over supreme control of the last existing national State and transforms that control into a tyranny for the oppression of the defenceless. He does not want to have a national Japanese State in existence when he founds his millennial JeM
wish empire of the future and therefore he wants to destroy the former before establishing his own dictatorship. That is why he is busy to-day stirring up antipathy towards Japan among the other nations, as he once stirred it up against Germany. Thus it may happen that even while British statesmanship is still endeavouring to base its policy on an alliance with Japan, the Anglo-Jewish press is clamouring for war against the prospective ally and, to the accompaniment of the slogans,
Japanese militarism and imperialism!
actually preparing for a way of annihilation. Thus, in Britain to-day the Jew is becoming refractory and so the struggle against the Jewish world-menace is bound to commence there, too. In this field, too, the National Socialist Movement has a tremendous task before it. It must open the eyes of our people in regard to foreign nations and it must continually remind them of the real enemy who menaces the world to-day. Instead of preaching hatred against Aryans from whom we mayM
be separated on almost every other count, but with whom the bond of kindred blood and the main features of a common civilisation unite us, we must arouse general indignation against the malevolent enemy of humanity and the real author of all our sufferings. The National Socialist Movement must see to it that at least in our own country the mortal enemy is recognised and that the fight against him may be the beacon-light of a happier era, and show other nations, too, the way of salvation for struggling Aryan humaniM
ty. Moreover, may reason be our guide and our strength be in our indomitable will. May the sacred duty of acting thus grant us perseverance and our faith prove our supreme protection.</p><blockquote><p>720</p></blockquote><blockquote><p>721</p></blockquote>h!

<h1 id="chapter-xiv-eastern-bias-or-eastern-policy">CHAPTER XIV: EASTERN BIAS OR EASTERN POLICY</h1>
<p>There are two considerations which induce me to make a special
s attitude towards Russia.
These are, that firstly, this may prove to be the most important problem
which German foreign policy has to solve, and secondly; this problem is, at the
same time, the touchstone which will test the political capacity of the young
National Socialist Movement for cleM
ar thinking and adopting the right course of action.
I must confess that the second consideration has often been a source of
great anxiety to me. The members of our Movement are not recruited from
circles which are habitually indifferent to public affairs, but mostly from
among men who hold more or less extreme views.
Such being the case, it is only natural that their understanding of foreign
politics should at first labour under the prejudices and inadequate knowledge
of those circles to which they formerly belongM
ed by virtue of their political and
ideological opinions.
This is true not only of the men who come to us from the Left. On the
contrary, however harmful may have been the kind of teaching they formerly
received in regard to these problems, in very many cases this was, in part, at
least, counterbalanced by the sound and natural instincts which they retained.
In such cases it is only necessary to substitute a better teaching in place
of the earlier influences, in order to transform the instinct of self-preservation
and other sound instinct into valuable assets.
On the other hand, it is much more difficult to train a man to see clearly
in political matters, if his previous education in this field was no less devoid
of sense and logic, but if, in addition, he has sacrificed the last residue of his
natural instincts on the altar of objective thinking.
It is particularly difficult to induce such representatives of our so-called
intellectual circles to adopt a realistic and logical attitude in protecting their
own interests and thM
e interests of their nation in its relations with foreign countries.</p>
<p>Their minds are overladen with a large burden of prejudices and absurd
ideas and, as if this were not enough, they have lost or renounced every instinct
of self-preservation. Against these men the National Socialist Movement has to
fight a hard battle, too, and the struggle is all the harder because, though very
often they are utterly incompetent, they are so self-conceited that, without the
ustification, they even look, down on others whose opinions are more sound.
These arrogant snobs, who pretend to know better than other people, are
wholly incapable of calmly and coolly analysing a problem land of weighing
the pros and cons, which is the necessary preliminary to any decision or action
taken in the field of foreign politics.
Since these particular circles are, at present, beginning to deflect our
foreign policy in the most disastrous way from protecting the real interests of
our people, in order to M
serve their own fantastic ideologies, I feel it incumbent
upon me to give my own followers a clear exposition of the most important
problem in our foreign policy, namely, our relations with Russia.
I shall deal with it as thoroughly as may be necessary to make it
generally understood and as far as the limits of this book permit.
Let me begin by making the following general remarks.
If, by foreign policy, we mean the establishment of relations between any
nation and the other nations on this earth, we must admit thaM
of such relations must depend on certain definite facts.
Moreover, we, as National Socialists, must lay down the following
principle as regards the essential characteristics of the foreign policy pursued
The first object of the foreign policy of a <i>v
lkisch</i> State is to safeguard
the existence on this earth of the race which has been organised as an entity by
this State, by the establishment of a healthy, enduring and natural proportion
between the size and theM
growth of the population, on the one hand, and the
area and resources of its territory, on the other.
The only proportion which can be termed
is one in which the
resources of the soil are sufficient, to guarantee the nation
Any condition which falls short of this is none the less unhealthy for the
fact that it may endure for centuries or even thousands of years.</p>
<p>Sooner or later, this lack of proportion must of necessity lead to the
; or even annihilation of the people concerned. Only a sufficiently large
space on this earth can assure the independent existence of a people.
The extent of the territory necessary for the accommodation of the
national population must not be estimated in the light of present exigencies or
even of its agricultural productivity in relation to the number of the population.
In the first volume of this book, under the heading,
Alliances before the War
, I have already explained that the terriM
dimensions of a State are of importance not only as the immediate source of the
s food-supply, but also from the military standpoint.
Once a people have become self-supporting as a result of the adequate
area of its territory, the next consideration is how to take the necessary steps to
safeguard his territory.
National security depends on the political and military strength of a State
and this, in turn, depends on its geographical situation looked at from the
military point of view.
nation could assure its own future only by becoming a
World Power. For nearly two thousand years the defence of our national
interests (as we ought to describe our more or less successful foreign political
activities) was a matter of world history.
We ourselves have witnessed this, since the gigantic international
struggle of the German people for their existence on this earth, and it was
carried out in such a way that it has become known in the annals of history as
When Germany entered this strugglM
e it was presumed that she was a
because in reality she was no such thing. If, in 1914,
there had been a different proportion between the German population and its
territorial area, Germany would really have been a World Power and, leaving
other factors out of count, the War would have ended in her favour.</p>
<p>It is neither my task nor my intention here to discuss what would have
happened if certain conditions had been fulfilled, but I feel M
incumbent on me to depict the present situation in its true light, and to point out
its weaknesses which give cause for alarm, in order to make at least those who
belong to the National Socialist Movement aware of what steps must be taken.
Germany is not a World Power to-day. Even though our present military
weakness could be overcome, we would still have no claim to be called a
What importance has any State on earth in which the proportion between
the size of the population and the terriM
torial area is so hopelessly unsatisfactory
as in the present German Reich?
In an epoch in which the world is being gradually portioned out among
States, many of whom embrace almost whole continents, one cannot speak of a
World Power in referring to a State whose political mother-country is limited
to a territorial area of barely five-hundred-thousand square kilometres.
Looked at purely from the territorial point of view, the area of the
German Reich is insignificant in comparison with that of so-called World PowerM
It would be wrong to cite the case of Britain for the purpose of
disproving this statement, because Great Britain, the mother-country, is in
reality the great metropolis of the British World Empire, which covers almost
one-fourth of the earth
s surface. Among the giant States we must also consider
the United States of America, Russia and China. These are enormous
territories, some of which have more than ten times the area of the present
France must also be ranked among these States. Not only becM
constantly increasing the strength of her army by recruiting coloured troops
from the population of her gigantic empire, but also because, from the racial
point of view, she is rapidly becoming Negroid to such an extent that we can
actually speak of the formation of an African state on European soil.
The contemporary colonial policy of France cannot be compared with
that of Germany in the past. If France develops along the lines it has taken in
our day, and should that development continue for the next M
three hundred years,
all traces of French blood will finally be lost in the formation of a Euro-African mulatto state.</p>
<p>This would represent a formidable and compact colonial territory
stretching from the Rhine to the Congo, inhabited by an inferior race which had
developed through a slow and steady process of bastardization. In this, French
colonial policy differs from the policy followed by the old Germany.
The former German colonial policy consisted in half measures asM
almost everything undertaken at that time It did not aim at the acquisition of
new territory for the settlement of German nationals nor did it make any
attempt (criminal though this might have been) to reinforce the power of the
Reich through the enlistment of black troops.
The Askari units in German East Africa represented a small and hesitant
step in this direction, but in reality they served only for the defence of the
The idea of transporting black troops to a European theatre of war
t entirely from the practical impossibility of doing so during the World
was never entertained as a proposal to be carried out under favourable
conditions; whereas the French, on the contrary, always looked on this as the
underlying motive and justification for their colonial activities.
Thus we find in the world to-day a number of powerful States which are
not only superior to Germany as regards the numerical strength of their
population, but which also possess in territorial area the chief support of their
Never has the position of the German Reich, judged from the point of
view of its area and the size of its population, been so unfavourable in
comparison with other States of whilom importance, as at the beginning of its
history two thousand years ago and again to-day.
In that other era we were a young people and we stormed a world of
decadent giant States, the last of which was Rome, to whose overthrow we
contributed. To-day we find ourselves in a world of great and powerful States
own Reich is steadily losing in significance. We must always
face this bitter truth with clear and calm minds. We must study the area and
population of the German Reich in relation to the other States and compare
them throughout the centuries.
Then, I know, everyone will realise to his consternation that what I said
at the outset is true, namely, that Germany is no longer a World Power, whether
she be strong or weak from the military point of view.</p>
<p>There is no comparisonM
between our position and that of the other States
throughout the world, and this is to be attributed to the ill-fated foreign policy
pursued by our governments, to the fact that our foreign policy failed
absolutely to pursue a definite aim with unswerving perseverance and also to
the fact that we have lost every sound impulse and instinct for self-preservation.
If the National Socialist Movement is to be credited by posterity with
having fulfilled a great mission on behalf of our nation it must fully recognise
serious nature of our actual position in the world, and struggle bravely and
doggedly against the aimlessness and inefficiency which have hitherto led the
German people to pursue a false course as regards foreign policy.
Without respect for
and without any pre-conceived notions, the
Movement must find the courage to organise our national forces, and set them
on the path which will lead them beyond the confines of the
which is theirs to-day, to the acquisition of new territory.
hus the Movement will save the German people from the danger of
perishing or of becoming slaves in the service of any other people.
Our Movement must seek to abolish the present lack of proportion
between our population and the area of our national territory, considered as the
source of our maintenance or as a basis of political power.
It ought also to strive to abolish the contrast between past history and the
hopelessly powerless position in which we are to-day.
In striving to do so, it must bear in mind the factM
custodians of the highest form of civilisation on this earth, that we have a
correspondingly high duty and that we shall fulfil this duty only if we inspire
the German people with race-consciousness, so that they will concern
themselves not merely with the breeding of dogs, horses and cats, but also care
for the purity of their own blood.
When I say that the foreign policy hitherto followed by Germany has
been aimless and ineffectual, the proof of my statement will be found in the
<p>Were our people intellectually backward, or did they lack courage, the
final results of their efforts could not have been worse than those of which we
are witnesses to-day. We must not allow ourselves to be misled by
developments during the last decades before the War, because we must not
measure the strength of a State taken by itself, but in comparison with other States.
Now, this comparison shows that not only had the strength of the other
ed more steadily than that of Germany, but that in the long run it
proved to be greater, so that, despite her apparent prosperity, Germany
gradually dropped further behind in the race with other States.
In short, the difference in size increases much to our detriment.
Even in the size of our population we lagged behind, and kept on losing
ground. Since the courage of our people is unsurpassed by that of any other in
the world and their sacrifice in defence of their existence greater than that of
any other nation, tM
heir failure can be ascribed only to the false way in which
this sacrifice was used.
If, in this connection, we examine the chain of political vicissitudes
through which our people have passed during more than a thousand years,
recalling the innumerable struggles and wars and investigating the results as
we have them before us to-day, we must confess that from the sea of blood only
three phenomena have emerged which we can consider as the lasting fruits of a
definite foreign policy, or, in fact of a policy at all.
These were, firstly, the colonization of the <i>Ostmark</i>, which was mainly
the work of the Bavarian secondly, the conquest and settlement of the territory
east of the Elbe; and thirdly, the organisation of the Brandenburg-Prussian
State, which was the work of the Hohenzollerns and which became the model
for, and the nucleus of, a new Reich. An instructive lesson for the future!
These first two great successes of our foreign policy turned out to be the
most enduring. Without them our people would play no part in M
These achievements were the first, and unfortunately the only, successful
attempts to establish a satisfactory balance between cur increasing population
and the area of our country, and we must regard it as a fatal mistake that our
German historians have never correctly appreciated these two outstanding
achievements which were of such significance for the following generations.</p>
<p>On the other hand, they wrote panegyrics on many other things, on
splayed in the pursuit of a fantastic aim and on innumerable
adventurous campaigns and wars, instead of realising that these latter had no
significance in relation to the main course of our national development.
The third great success achieved by our political activity was the
establishment of the Prussian State and the development of a particular State
concept which grew out of this.
To the same source we must attribute the organisation of the instinct of
national self-preservation and self-defence in the German M
achievement which suited the modem world.
The transformation of the idea of self-defence on the part of the
individual into the duty of national defence is derived from the Prussian State
and the new State concept which it introduced.
It would be impossible to over-estimate the importance of this process.
The German nation, which, as a result of racial disintegration, had become the
victim of exaggerated individualism, partially regained, through the
disciplinary training of the Prussian Army, its capacityM
What other nations still retain of the original herd instinct, we regained,
in some measure, for the national community by the artificial means of military training.
Consequently, the abolition of compulsory national military service
which may have no significance for dozens of other nations
consequences for us.
Let ten generations of Germans be without the corrective and educative
effect of military training and delivered over to the evil effects of their racial
ideological disintegration and our people would lose the
last relics of an independent existence on this earth.
The German intellect could then make its contribution to civilisation only
through the medium of individuals living under the rule of foreign nations and
its origin would remain unknown, while acting as the fertilizing manure of
civilisation, until the last residue of Nordic-Aryan blood in us had become
corrupted or extinct.</p>
<p>It is a remarkable fact that the reM
al political successes achieved by our
people during their millennial struggles are better appreciated and understood
by our adversaries than by ourselves.
Even to-day we wax enthusiastic about an act of heroism which robbed
our people of millions of their best racial stock and turned out completely
fruitless in the end.
The distinction between the real political successes which our people
have achieved in the course of their long history and the futile aims for which
the blood of the nation has been shed is of supM
reme importance in determining
our policy now and in the future.
We National Socialists must never allow ourselves to join in the huzzaing
patriotism of our contemporary bourgeois circles.
It would be fatal for us to look upon the developments immediately
before the War as in any way binding us in the choice of our own course.
We can recognise no obligation devolving on us which may have its
origin in any historical phase of the nineteenth century.
In contradiction to the policy of those who represented that perioM
must take our stand on the principles already mentioned in regard to foreign
policy, namely, the necessity for bringing our territorial area into accord with
the number of our population.
From the past we can learn only one lesson, and this is that the aim
which is to be pursued in our political conduct must be two-fold, namely, (1)
the acquisition of territory as the objective of our foreign policy and (2) the
establishment of a new, uniform and ideologically secure foundation as the
objective of our politicM
al activities at home.
I shall deal briefly with the question of how far our territorial aims are
justified according to ethical and moral principles.
This is all the more necessary here because, in our so-called <i>v
circles, there are all kinds of smooth-tongued phrase-mongers who try to
persuade the German people that the great aim of their foreign policy ought to
be to right the wrongs of 1918, while at the same time they consider it
incumbent on them to assure the whole world of the brotherly spiriM
sympathy of the German people.</p>
<p>In regard to this point I should like to make the following preliminary
statement. To demand that the 1914 frontiers should be restored is a glaring
political absurdity that is fraught with such consequences as to make the claim
itself appear criminal.
The confines of the Reich as they existed in 1914 were thoroughly
illogical, because they were not really complete, in the sense of including all
the members of the German people, nor wM
ere they reasonable, in view of the
geographical exigencies of military defence.
They were not the outcome of a well-considered political plan, they
were temporary frontiers established in virtue of a political struggle that had
not been fought to a finish, and indeed they were partly the chance result of circumstances.
One would be equally justified (and in many cases better justified) in
selecting any other year in our history and in demanding that the objective of
our foreign policy should be the re-establishmenM
t of the conditions then existing.
The demands I have mentioned are quite characteristic of our bourgeois
compatriots, who, in such matters, take no politically productive thought for the future.
They live only in the past and indeed only in the immediate past, for even
their retrospect does not go back beyond their own times.
The law of inertia binds them to the present order of things, leading them
to oppose every attempt to change this. Their opposition, however, never takes
the form of any kind of active defencM
e, it is merely passive obstinacy.
Therefore, we must regard it as quite natural that the political horizon of
such people should not reach beyond 1914. In proclaiming that the aim of their
political activities is to have the frontiers of that time restored, they only help
to close up the rifts that are already becoming apparent in the league which our
enemies have formed against us.
Only on these grounds can we explain the fact that eight years after a
world conflagration in which a number of allied belligerents hM
and aims that were partly in conflict with one another, the coalition of the
victors still remains more or less solid.</p>
<p>Each of those States in its turn profited by the German collapse. In the
fear which they all felt of our strength, the Great Powers maintained a mutual
silence about their individual feelings of envy and enmity towards one another.
They felt that to carry into effect a general process of expropriation of
s possessions would be M
the surest guarantee against the possibility of
A bad conscience and fear of the strength of our people made up the
durable cement which has held the members of that league together, even up to
the present moment; nor have they been deceived by us.
Inasmuch as our bourgeoisie sets up the restoration of the 1914 frontiers
as the aim of Germany
s political programme, each member of the enemy
coalition who might otherwise be inclined to withdraw from it, clings to the
coalition for fear that he mightM
, having lost the support of his allies, become an
isolated object of attack.
Each individual State feels itself endangered and threatened by this
battle-cry, and that battle-cry itself is absurd, for the two following reasons:
Firstly, because there is no available means of extricating it from the twilight
atmosphere of club meetings and transforming it into something real.
Secondly, because even if it could be carried into effect the result would
be so futile that it would not be worth while to risk the blood of M
once again for such a purpose.
There can be scarcely any doubt whatsoever that only through bloodshed
could we achieve the restoration of the 1914 frontiers.
One must have the simple mind of a child to believe that the revision of
the Versailles Treaty can be obtained by indirect means and by beseeching the
clemency of the victors
apart from the fact that for this we should need a
Talleyrand, and there is no Talleyrand among us.
Fifty per cent of our politicians are artful dodgers who are without
cter and hostile to our people, while the other fifty per cent is made up of
well-meaning, harmless, and complaisant incompetents.
Moreover, times have changed since the Congress of Vienna, it is no
longer princes or their courtesans who haggle and bargain about State
frontiers, but the inexorable cosmopolitan Jew who fights for dominion over the nations.</p>
<p>The sword is the only means whereby a nation can ward off that strangle-hold.
Only when the concentrated might of ramM
pant patriotic fervour is
organised can it defy the menace of international enslavement of the nations.
Such a course of action entails, and always will entail, bloodshed. If we are
once convinced that the future of Germany calls for supreme effort, then, apart
from considerations of political prudence, we are in duty bound to set up an
aim that is worthy of that effort and to struggle to achieve it.
The 1914 frontiers are of no significance for the future of the German
nation. They did not serve to protect us in tM
he past, nor do they offer any
guarantee for our defence in the future.
These frontiers do not help the German people to achieve internal unity,
nor do they serve to safeguard its food-supplies.
From the military standpoint these frontiers are neither strategically good
nor even satisfactory.
Finally, they cannot serve to improve our present position in relation to
other World Powers, or rather in relation to the real World Powers.
They will not lessen the discrepancy between ourselves and Great
Britain, nor help uM
s to rival the United States its size. Not only that, but they
would not serve to lessen substantially the importance of France in
international politics.
One thing alone is certain, namely, the attempt to restore the frontiers of
1914, even if it proved successful, would lead to a further draining of the
blood of our nation to such an extent that no virile men would be left to execute
the revolutions and perform the deeds necessary in order to assure the future
existence of the nation.
On the contrary, under the iM
ntoxicating influence of such a superficial
success further aims would be renounced, all the more so because so-called
would seem to be vindicated and new ports would be
opened, at least for a certain time, to our commercial development.
In the face of all this we National Socialists must adhere firmly to the
aim that we have set for our foreign policy, namely, that the German people
must be guaranteed that living-space to which it is entitled, and only in
pursuance of such an aim can the shedM
ding of the blood of our people be
justified in the eyes of God, and future generations of Germans.</p>

The German frontiers are the outcome of chance and are only temporary
frontiers that have been established as the result of political struggles which
took place at various times.
The same is also true of the frontiers which demarcate the territories in
which other nations live.
Only an imbecile could look on the physical geography of the gloM
fixed and unchangeable. Actually, it represents only an apparent interval in a
continual evolutionary process due to the certain action of the formidable
forces of Nature, and is liable to destruction and transformation to-morrow
through still more formidable forces.</p>

reason why other nations should for ever acknowledge its right to that territory.
At most, the possession of such territory is a proof of the might of the
conqueror and the weakness of those who submit to him and this might alone is right.
If the German people is cramped in an insufficient living space and is,
for that reason, faced with a hopeless future, it is not by the law of Destiny, and
the refusal to accept such a situation is by no means a violation of DM
Just as no Higher Power has allotted more territory to other nations than
to the German nation, an unjust distribution of territory cannot constitute an
offence against such a Power.
The land in which we now live was not a gift bestowed by Heaven on
our forefathers, but was conquered by them at the risk of their lives.
Thus, now, in future our people will not acquire territory and with it the
means of subsistence as a favour at the hands of any other nation, but will have
to win it by the power of M
a triumphant sword. To-day we are all convinced of
the necessity for regulating our position with regard to France; but our success

of pre-war days and are making a start upon the future policy of territorial
expansion, but when we speak of new territory in EuropM
e to-day we must think
principally of Russia and the border states under her rule. Destiny itself seems
to point the way for us here. In delivering Russia over to Bolshevism, Fate
robbed the Russian people of that intellectual class which had once created the
Russian State and was the guarantee for its existence.</p>
<p>The Russian State as such was not the outcome of the ability of the Slav
to establish a constitution, but rather a marvellous example of the constructive
cal activity of the Germanic element in a race of inferior worth.
This is the way in which many mighty empires throughout the world
were created. More than once inferior races with Germanic organisers and
rulers as their leaders became formidable States and continued to exist as long
as the racial nucleus which had originally created the State remained.
For centuries, Russia has lived on this Germanic nucleus of its governing
classes, but to-day this nucleus has been practically exterminated. The Jew has
Just as it is impossible for the Russian, on his own, to shake off the
Jewish yoke so, too, it is impossible for the Jew to keep this mighty State in
existence for any lengthy period of time.
He himself is by no means an organising element, but rather a ferment of
decomposition. This colossal empire in the East is ripe for dissolution, and the
end of the Jewish domination in Russia will also be the end of Russia as a State.
We are chosen by Destiny to be the witnesses of a catastrophe which

It is our task, and the mission of the National Socialist Movement, to
develop in our people that political mentality which will enable them to
realise that the aim which they must set themselves in future could not find
fulfilment in the glorious enthusiasm of a victorious campaign fought with the
ardour of an Alexander the Great.
That the Jew should declare himself bitterly hostile to such a policy is
only natural, for the Jew knows better than anyM
other what the adoption of this
line of conduct will mean for his own future.
That fact alone ought to teach all genuine nationalists that this new
orientation is the right one, but, unfortunately, the reverse is the case.
Not only among the members of the German National Party, but also in
lkisch</i> circles, violent opposition is being raised against this Eastern
European policy, and in connection with that opposition, as in all such cases,
the authority of great men is cited.</p>
<p>The spirit of Bismarck is evoked in defence of a policy which is as
stupid as it is impossible, and is in the highest degree detrimental to the
They say that Bismarck attached great importance to the maintenance of
good relations with Russia. To a certain extent, that is true, but they quite forget
to add that he laid equal stress on the importance of good relations with Italy,
Indeed, the same Herr von Bismarck once concluded an alliance with
Italy so that he mighM
t more easily settle accounts with Austria.
Why is this policy not continued to-day? The answer will be to the effect
that the Italy of to-day is not the Italy of that time.
Well then, honourable sirs, permit me to remind you that the Russia of to-day is no longer the Russia of that time.
Bismarck never dreamt of laying down a political course of action
which, from the tactical point of view, was to hold good for all time. He was
too much the master of the hour to bind himself in that way.
The question, therefore, M
ought not to be what did Bismarck do then, but
rather what would he do to-day.
And that question is much easier to answer. His political sagacity would
never allow him to ally himself with a State that is doomed to disappear.
Moreover, Bismarck looked upon the colonial and commercial policy of
his time with mixed feelings, because at first, his chief concern was to find the
surest way of consolidating and internally strengthening the state system which
he himself had created.
That was the sole reason why, at that tM
ime, he welcomed Russian
protection in the rear, which gave him a free hand for his activities in the West,
but what was then advantageous to Germany would now be detrimental.
21, the young National Socialist Movement was
slowly, beginning to make itself felt in the political world and was spoken of
in various circles as the movement for the liberation of the German nation. At
that time it was approached from various quarters with the object of
establishing definite relations with the liberationiM
st movements in other countries.
<p>This was quite in keeping with the much-advertised

loquacious gentlemen who gave themselves airs, but had no real backing.
Not a few Germans, however, especially in the nationalist camp,
allowed themselves to be taken in by these pompous Orientals, and in the
rson of some Indian or Egyptian student they believed at once that they were
face to face with a
They did not realise that, in most cases, they were dealing with persons
who had no backing and who were not authorised to conclude any sort of
agreement whatsoever, so that the practical result of any contact with such
individuals was nil, unless one chose to enter the time spent thus as a dead loss.
I was always on my guard against these attempts, not only because I had
g better to do than to waste weeks in such sterile
also because I believed that even if one were dealing with authorised
representatives of such nations, the whole affair would be bound to turn out
futile, if not positively harmful.
Even in peace-time it was lamentable enough that the German policy of
alliances, because it had no active and aggressive aims in view, ended in a
defensive association of antiquated States which, as far as history was
concerned were already on the retired list.
ere was little to be said either for the alliance with Austria or for that
with Turkey. While the greatest military and industrial States of the earth had
joined together in a league for purposes of active aggression, a few old and
effete States were got together, and with this antique bric-a-brac an attempt
was made to face an active world-coalition.
Germany has had to pay dearly for that mistaken foreign policy and yet

<p>It is disastrous because in that way the attention of the German people is
again being diverted from real possibilities, which they abandon for the sake
of fanciful and fruitless hopes and illusions.

were then at a loose end in Europe and succeeded in
inspiring otherwise quite reasonable people with the fixed notion that the
British World Empire, of which India was the hub, was just about to collapse there.
They never realised that this was wishful thinking, nor did they stop to
think how absurd their hopes were, for inasmuch as they expected the end of
the British Empire and of Britain
s power to follow the collapse of its
ominion over India, they themselves admitted that India was of paramount
importance to Britain.
It is more than probable that this vital question was not in the nature of a
mystery known only to the prophets of German <i>v
lkisch</i> circles, but also to
those in whose hands lay the shaping of British history. It is simply puerile to
suppose that in Britain itself the importance of India for the British Empire was
not adequately appreciated.
It is a proof of failure to have learned a lesson from the World War and
of a thorough misunderstanding and inability to recognise the quality of Anglo-Saxon determination,
if anyone imagines that Britain would let India go without
first putting forth the last ounce of her strength in a struggle to hold it.
Moreover, it shows how complete is the ignorance prevailing in
Germany as to the manner in which Britain administers her Empire and
permeates it with her spirit.</p>

entirely out of the question in India), or unless she is overcome by the sword of

overcome Britain, and apart from all this, I as a Teuton, would far rather see
India under British rule than under that of any other nation.

To-day we must take up the same attitude towards Russia.
The Russia of to-day, deprived of its Germanic ruling class, is, apart
from the secret designs of its new rulers, no suitable ally in the struggle for
From the purely military point of view, a Russo-German coalition
g war against Western Europe, and probably against the whole world on
that account, would be catastrophic for us.
The struggle would have to be fought out, not on Russian, but on German
territory, without Germany being able to receive from Russia the slightest
effective support. The military forces at the disposal of the present German
Reich are so small and so inadequate for the waging of a foreign war that it
would be impossible to defend our frontiers against Western Europe, Britain

before the concentrated attack of our adversaries, It must be added that
between Germany and Russia there is the Polish State, completely in the hands
Should Germany and Russia together wage war against Western Europe,
Russia would have to overthrow Poland before the first Russian soldier could
be conveyed to a German front, but it is less a question of soldiers than of
technical equipment.
our plight during the World War would be repeated, but in
a more terrible manner.
At that time, German, industry had to be drained to help our glorious
allies, and on the technical side Germany had to carry on the war almost alone.
In this new hypothetical war Russia, as a technical factor, would count
for nothing. We should have practically nothing to oppose to the general
mechanisation of the world, which in the next war will assume overwhelming
and decisive proportions.
In this important field Germany has not onM
ly shamefully lagged behind,
but would, with the little she has, have to reinforce Russia, which at the
present moment does not possess a single factory capable of producing a
motor-car in good running order.
Under such conditions such a struggle would assume the character of
sheer slaughter. The youth of Germany would have to shed more of its blood
than it did even in the World War; for, as always, it would fall to us to bear the
brunt of the fighting, and the result would be an inevitable catastrophe.
ing that a miracle took place and that this war did not end in
the total annihilation of Germany, the final result would be that the German
nation would be bled white, and, surrounded as she would be by great military
States, her real situation would be in no way ameliorated.
It is useless to object here that in case of an alliance with Russia we
should not think of an immediate war or that anyhow we should have the means
of making thorough preparations for war.</p>
absurd, since an alliance which is not for the purpose of waging
war has no meaning and no value. The object of forming an alliance is to wage war.
Even though, at the moment when an alliance is concluded, the prospect
of war is a distant one, still the idea of the situation developing towards war is
the reason underlying the formation of an alliance.
It is out of the question to think that the other Powers would be deceived
as to the purpose of such an alliance. A Russo-German coalition would either
scrap of paper (in which case it would have no meaning for us),
or the terms of the agreement would be put into effect, and in that case the rest
of the world would be forewarned.
It would be childish to think that in such circumstances Britain and
France would wait ten years to give the Russo-German alliance time to
complete its technical preparations.
Far from it, the storm would break over Germany immediately. The fact
of forming an alliance with Russia would, therefore; be the signal for a new
f which would be the end of Germany.
To these considerations the following must be added:</p>
<p>(1) Those who are in power in Russia to-day have no intention of
forming an honourable alliance or of remaining true to it, if they did.
It must never be forgotten that the present rulers of Russia are blood-stained criminals,
that here we have the dregs of humanity which, favoured by
the circumstances of a tragic moment, overran a great State, and, in their lust
for blood, killed and extirpated millions of educated peM
ople belonging to the
ruling classes, and that now for nearly ten years they have ruled with a savage
tyranny such as has never been known.
It must not be forgotten that these rulers belong to a people in which the
most bestial cruelty is allied to a capacity for artful mendacity and which,
to-day more than ever, believes itself called upon to impose its sanguinary
despotism on the rest of the world.</p>
<p>It must not be forgotten that the international Jew, who is to-day absM
master in Russia, does not look upon Germany as an ally, but as a State
condemned to the same doom as Russia itself.
One does not form an alliance with a partner whose only aim is the
destruction of his co-partner.
Above all, one does not enter into alliances with people to whom no
treaty is sacred, because they do not exist as the upholders of truth and honour,
but as the protagonists of lying and deception, thievery, plunder and robbery.
The man who thinks that he can enter into a treaty with parasites is lM
tree that believes it can make a bargain with the mistletoe that feeds on it.</p>
<p>(2) The menace to which Russia once succumbed is perpetually hanging over Germany.
Only a bourgeois simpleton could imagine that the Bolshevist danger has
been overcome. In his superficial way of thinking he does not suspect that here
we are dealing with a phenomenon that is due to an urge of the blood, namely,
the aspiration of the Jewish people to become the despots of the world.
That aspiration is quite as natural as the iM
mpulse of the Anglo-Saxon to
rule the world, and as the Anglo-Saxon chooses his own way of attaining those
ends and fights for them with characteristic weapons, so does the Jew.
The Jew follows his own methods, he insinuates himself into the very
heart of the nations and then proceeds to undermine the national structure from within.
The weapons with which he works are lies and calumny, poisonous
infection and disintegration, intensifying the struggle until he has succeeded in
exterminating his hated adversary to thM
e accompaniment of much bloodshed.
In Russian Bolshevism we must recognise the kind of attempt which is
being made by the Jew in the twentieth century to secure dominion over the
world. In other epochs he worked towards the same goal, but with different,
though fundamentally similar, means.
The ambition of the Jew is part and parcel of his very nature. Just as no
other people would voluntarily check the instinct to increase in numbers or in
power, unless forced to do so by external circumstances or senile decay, soM
Jew will never, of his own accord, repress his eternal urge and abandon his
struggle for world dictatorship.</p>
<p>Only external forces can thwart him, or his instinct for world domination
will die out with his race.
If nations become impotent or extinct through senility it is because they

against Germany. I do not forget the continual mobilisation rehearsals, the sole
object of which was to irritate Germany.
I cannot forget the tone of public opinion in Russia which, in pre-war

Reich, nor can I forget the big Russian press which was always more
favourable to France than to us.
Yet, despite all this, another alternative was open to us before the War.
We might have won tM

Circumstances are entirely different to-day. Although, before the War, we

It may end by gaining what Britain has, what even Russia had, and what
enabled France again and again to make analogous decisions which ultimately
proved to be to her advantage, namely, a political testament.
The fundamental principles of the political testament of the German
nation determining the course of its foreign policy shallM
be as follows: Never
permit two continental Powers to arise in Europe.
Look upon every attempt to establish a second military Power on the
frontiers of Germany, be it only in the shape of a State capable of becoming a
military power, as tantamount to an attack upon Germany.
Regard it not only as your right, but as your duty, to prevent by every
possible means, including resort to arms, the establishment of such a State, and
to crush it, should it be established.
See to it that the strength of our nation does not rM
foundations, but on those of our own native territory in Europe.
Never consider the Reich secure unless, for centuries to come, it is in a
position to give every descendant of our race a piece of ground that he can call
Never forget that the most sacred of all rights in this world is man
to the soil which he wishes to cultivate for himself and that the holiest of all
sacrifices is that of the blood shed for it.
I should not like to conclude these remarks without referring once agaM
to the sole possibility of an alliance that exists for us in Europe at the present moment.
In the previous chapter dealing with the problem of Germany
alliances, I mentioned Britain and Italy as the only countries with which it
would be worth while for us to strive to form a close alliance and that such an
alliance would be advantageous.</p>
<p>I should like here to deal briefly with the military importance of such an alliance.
The military consequences of thisM
alliance would be the direct opposite
of the consequences of an alliance with Russia.
Most important of all is the fact that a rapprochement with Britain and
Italy would in no way involve a danger of war.
The only Power liable to oppose such an alliance would be France who
would scarcely be in a position to do so. Thus, such an alliance would afford
Germany an opportunity of quietly making those preparations which, within the
framework of such a coalition, would necessarily have to lie made with a view
accounts with France.
The lull significance of such an alliance lies in the fact that its
conclusion would not automatically lay Germany open to the threat of invasion,
but that the very coalition would be broken up, that is to say, the Entente which
has been the cause of so many of our misfortunes, would be dissolved, thus
making France, our inveterate enemy, the victim of violation.
Even though this success would at first have only a moral effect, it would
be sufficient to allow Germany such liberty of action asM
imagine, for the new Anglo-German-Italian alliance would have the political
initiative and no longer France.
A further result would be that at one stroke Germany would finally be
delivered from her unfavourable strategical position.
On the one side, her flank would be strongly protected and, on the other,
the guarantee that we would have an adequate supply of foodstuffs and raw
materials would be a beneficial result of this new coalition of States.
Almost more important, however, is the fact that thiM
include States whose potential of technical production would, in many
respects, be mutually complementary.
For the first time Germany would have allies who would not like
vampires suck the life-blood of her industry, but could, and would, contribute
liberally to the completion of our technical equipment.</p>
<p>We must not forget one final fact, namely, that in this case we should not
have allies like Turkey or present-day Russia.
The greatest World Power on M
this earth and a young national State would
constitute factors in a European struggle which were very different from the
corrupt and decadent Powers to which Germany was allied in the last war.
As I have already said, there are great obstacles in the way of such an
alliance. But was not the formation of the Entente somewhat more difficult?
Where King Edward VII succeeded, partly in the face of traditional
interests, we must and will succeed, if we are so convinced of the necessity for
such a development that we areM
wisely prepared to conquer our own feelings
and carry the policy through.
This will be possible only when, driven to action by suffering and
distress, we renounce the shilly-shallying foreign policy of recent decades and
follow unswervingly a course of action in pursuit of a definite aim.
The future goal of our foreign policy ought to be neither a Western nor an
Eastern bias; it ought to be an Eastern policy the object of which is the
acquisition of such territory as is necessary in order that the German people
To carry out this policy we need that force of which France, the mortal
enemy of our nation, is now depriving us by holding us in her grip and
pitilessly robbing us of our strength.
We must, therefore, stop at no sacrifice in an effort to stop France
striving for hegemony in Europe. As our natural ally to-day we have every
Power on the Continent which, like ourselves, feels France
in Europe unbearable.
No attempt to approach those Powers ought to appear too difficult to us,
acrifice should be considered too great, if the final outcome would be
to make it possible for us to overthrow our most bitter enemy.
The minor wounds will be cured by the beneficent influence of Time,

It is, therefore, necessary that in the eyes of the rest of the world our
Movement should be recognised M
as representing a definite political programme.
Whatever fate Heaven may have in store for us, we must be recognised
by an outward and visible sign.
As long as we ourselves recognise the ineluctable necessity which must
determine our foreign policy, this knowledge will lend us that power of
endurance which we often require when, under the withering fire of the
opposition press, some of us experience fear and are assailed by the temptation
to make concessions here or there and
to do as the Romans do,

<h1 id="chapter-xv-the-right-to-self-defence">CHAPTER XV: THE RIGHT TO SELF-DEFENCE</h1>
<p>After we had laid down our arms, in November 1918, a policy was
adopted which, as far as man could foretell, was bound to lead gradually to
our complete subjugation.
Analogous examples culled from history show that those nations which
lay down their arms without being aM
bsolutely forced to do so, subsequently
prefer to submit to the greatest humiliations and exactions rather than try to
change their fate by resorting to arms again.
That can be explained on purely human grounds. A shrewd conqueror
will always enforce his demands on the conquered only by stages, as far as that
Then he may be reasonably certain that a people who have lost all
strength of character (which is always true of every nation that voluntarily
submits to the threats of an opponent) will not find M
in any of these acts of
oppression, if one be enforced apart from the other, sufficient grounds for
taking up arms again.
The more often the conquered nation submits to extortion, the less
justifiable in its eyes is the final revolt against a fresh and apparently isolated,
but constantly recurring act of extortion, especially if more and greater
misfortunes have already been borne in silence and with patience.
The fall of Carthage is a terrible example of the slow destruction of a
people for which they themselves wM
In his <i>Drei Bekenntnisse</i>, Clausewitz expressed this idea admirably and
gave it a definite form when he said,
The stigma of shame incurred by
cowardly submission can never be effaced. The drop of poison which thus
enters the blood of a nation will be transmitted to posterity. It will undermine
and paralyse the strength of later generations.
But he added that, on the contrary,
even the loss of liberty after a
sanguinary and honourable struggle ensures the resurgence of a nation and is
e vital nucleus from which a new tree will one day put forth sound roots.
Naturally, a nation which has lost all sense of honour and all strength of
character will not feel the force of such a doctrine, but any nation that takes it
to heart will never fall so low.</p>
<p>Only those who forget it or do not wish to
acknowledge it will collapse. Hence, those responsible for a cowardly
submission cannot be expected suddenly to change their line of conduct in
accordance with the M
dictates of common sense and human experience.
On the contrary, they will repudiate such a doctrine, either until the
people becomes habituated to the yoke of slavery or until the better elements of
the nation come to the fore and wrest the power from the hands of the infamous
In the first case these who hold power will be pleased with the state of
affairs, because the conquerors often entrust them with the duties of slave-driver,
and they, as utterly characterless beings, are then more cruel in the
rcise of their authority over their own countrymen than the most cruel alien
appointed to the task by the enemy.
The events which happened in Germany after 1918 prove how the hope
of securing the clemency of the victor by means of a voluntary submission had
the most disastrous influence on the political attitude and conduct of the broad masses.
expressly, because I cannot persuade myself that
the things which were done or left undone by the leaders of the people are to
a similar disastrous illusion.
Seeing that since the war our fate has been in the hands of the Jews, and
to-day admittedly so, it is impossible to assume that a defective knowledge of
the state of affairs was the sole cause of our misfortunes.
On the contrary, we may take it for granted that our people were
intentionally brought to ruin.
Looked at from this point of view the apparent insanity of our
s foreign policy is revealed as a piece of shrewd calculating logic,
put into effect in order to promoteM
the Jewish idea of a struggle for world-mastery.
Thus it appears comprehensible that the same period of seven years,
which, after 1806, sufficed to imbue Prussia (which had been in a state of
collapse) with fresh vitality and the zeal for battle, has to-day not only been
wasted, but has led to a steady sapping of the vital strength of the State.</p>
<p>Seven years after November 1918 the Locarno Pact was signed. Thus the
development which occurred took the form I have indicateM
Once the shameful Armistice had been signed, our people were unable to
pluck up sufficient courage and energy to offer a sudden resistance to the
oppressive measures adopted and constantly repeated by the enemy, who was
too shrewd to put forward too many demands at once.
He invariably limited his exactions to, amounts which, in his opinion and
that of our German Government, could be submitted to for the moment, thus
avoiding the risk of an outburst of public feeling.
But, the more frequently single impositM
ions were accepted and tolerated,
the less justifiable did it appear to do now, on account of one single imposition
or attempted humiliation, what had not been done previously in the case of so
many others, namely, to offer resistance. That is the
Clausewitz speaks. Once this lack of character is manifested the resultant
condition becomes steadily aggravated and weighs like an evil heritage on all
It may become a millstone round the nation
s neck, which cannot be
aken off, but which forces it to drag out its existence in slavery.
Thus, in Germany measures enforcing disarmament, oppression,
economic spoliation and measures designed to render us politically
defenceless followed one upon the other.
The result of all this was to create that mood which made so many look
upon the Dawes Plan as a blessing and the Locarno Pact as a success.
From a higher point of view we may speak of one sole blessing in the
midst of so much misery, namely, that, though men may be fooled, Heaven
nnot be bribed, for Heaven withheld its blessing.
Since that time misery and anxiety have been the constant companions of
our people, and distress is the one ally that has remained loyal to us.
Here, too, Destiny has made no exceptions. It has given us our deserts.
Since we did not know how to value honour, it has taught us to value liberty
through want of bread.
Now that the nation has learned to cry for bread, it may one day learn to pray for freedom.</p>

following 1918 that was nevertheless the time chosen to persecute with the
utmost severity anyone who presumed to foretell what afterwards invariably
This was particularly so when it was a question of
voices which were unwelcome because unpleasant.
The government to which our people submitted was as hopelessly
incompetent as it was conceited, and this was evinced in their attitude towards
those who made themselves unpopular by issuM
ing disconcerting warnings.
Then we saw, as we can see to-day, the greatest parliamentary
nincompoops, really common saddlers and glove-makers (not merely by trade,
for that would signify very little) suddenly raised to the rank of statesmen and
sermonising to humble mortals from that pedestal.

predict similar failures in the future.

23, at the latest, it ought to have, been generally
recognised that, even after the conclusion of peace, France was still
endeavouring with iron consistency to realise her original war aims. It is
inconceivable that for four and a half years France should have continued to
sacrifice the none too abundant supply of her national blood in the mosM
decisive struggle throughout her history in order subsequently to obtain
compensation through reparations for the damages sustained.</p>
<p>Even Alsace and Lorraine, taken by themselves, would not account for
the energy with which the French conducted the War, if Alsace-Lorraine were
not already considered as a part of the really vast programme which French
foreign policy had envisaged for the future.
The aim of that programme was the dismemberment of Germany into a
small states. It was for this that chauvinist France waged war, and in
so doing she was in reality selling her people as mercenaries to the
This French war aim would have been attained through the World War if,
as was originally hoped in Paris, the struggle had been fought out on German soil.
Let us imagine the bloody battles of the World War not as having taken
place on the Somme, in Flanders, in Artois, outside Warsaw, NishniNovogorod,
Kowno and Riga, but in Germany, in the Ruhr or on the MaiM
the Elbe, outside Hanover, Leipzig, N
rnberg, etc.; had this happened, then we
must admit that the destruction of Germany might have been accomplished.
It is very doubtful whether our young federal State could have borne the
hard struggle for four and a half years, as it was borne by a France that had
been centralised for centuries, with the whole national imagination focussed on Paris.
If this titanic conflict between the nations took place beyond the frontiers
of our Fatherland, not only is all the merit M
due to the immortal service rendered
by our old Army, but it was also very fortunate for the future of Germany.
I am of the firm conviction (and this conviction often fills me with dread)
that if things had taken a different course there would no longer be a German

which was shed by our friends and brothers during the War was not shed quite

<p>At that time France
s first preoccupation was not the dismemberment of
Germany, but the problem of how to get the German troops out of France, and
Belgium as quickly as possible. In order to put an end to the War, the first thing
that had to be done by the French Government was to disarm the German
troops and push them back into Germany if possible.M
Until this was done the French could not devote their attention to
realising their own particular and original war aims.
France was, however, hindered in this by the fact that as far as Britain
was concerned, the War was really only won when Germany was destroyed as
a colonial and commercial power, and was reduced to the rank of a secondclass State.
It was not to Britain
s interest to wipe out the German State altogether. In
fact, on many grounds it was desirable for her to have a future rival against
France was therefore forced to carry on by peaceful means the work for
which the War had paved the way; and Clemenceau
s statement, that for him
peace was merely a continuation of the War, thus acquired added significance.
Persistently and at every possible opportunity the effort to dislocate the
framework of the Reich had to be continued. By perpetually sending new notes
that demanded disarmament, on the one hand, and by the imposition of
economic levies, on the other, which could be carried out as a resM
process of disarmament, it was hoped in Paris that the framework of the Reich
would gradually become unstable.
The more the Germans lost their sense of national honour, the more
would economic pressure and continued economic distress be effective as
factors of political destruction.
Such a policy of political oppression and economic exploitation, carried
out for ten or twenty years, must it was believed, in the long run steadily ruin
and eventually disintegrate the most solid national body.

23 the intentions of the French must have long been obvious.
There remained only two possible ways of confronting the situation.</p>
<p>It was hoped that either French determination might be blunted by the toughness
of the German national body, or, that it might at least be possible to do what
was bound to become inevitable one day
that is to say, under the provocation
of some particularly brutal act of M
oppression to put the helm of the German
ship of state to roundabout and ram the enemy.
That would naturally involve a life-and-death struggle. The chance of
surviving this struggle depended on whether France could be so far isolated
beforehand that in this second conflict, Germany would not have to fight
against the whole world, but in defence of Germany against a France that was
persistently disturbing the peace of the world.
I insist on this point, and I am profoundly convinced that it is inevitable
cond alternative will one day come about.
I shall never believe that France will of herself alter her intentions
towards us, because they are, at bottom, only the expression of the French
instinct for self-preservation.
Were I a Frenchman, and were the greatness of France as dear to me as
that of Germany is sacred, I neither could nor would act otherwise than a Clemenceau.
The French nation, which is slowly dying out, not so much through
depopulation as through the progressive disappearance of the best elements of
the race, can continue to play an important role in the world only if Germany
French policy may make a thousand detours on the march towards its
fixed goal, but the destruction of Germany is the end which it always has in
view as the fulfilment of the most profound desire and ultimate intentions of the French.
Now, it is a mistake to believe that if the will on one side remains
merely passive and intent on its own self-preservation, it can hold out
permanently against another will which is not less M
forceful, but is active.
As long as the eternal conflict between France and Germany is waged
only in the form of a German defence against the French attack, it will never be
brought to a conclusion, although Germany will, in the course of centuries, lose
one foothold after another.</p>
<p>If we study the changes, the line of demarcation of the German language
has undergone from the twelfth century up to our day, in the frontier, within
which the German language is spoken, we caM
n hardly hope for future success
from an attitude and development which have hitherto been so detrimental to us.
Only when the Germans have fully realised all this will they cease to
allow the national will to live to peter out in passive defence, but will rally it
for a last decisive contest with France and a final struggle for the realisation of
Only then will it be possible to put an end to the eternal Franco-German
conflict which has hitherto proved so sterile. Of course it is here preM
Germany sees in the suppression of France nothing more than a means which
will make it possible for our people finally to expand in another direction.
To-day there are eighty million Germans in Europe, and our foreign
policy will be recognised as rightly conducted only when, after barely a
hundred years, there will be two hundred and fifty million Germans living on
this Continent, not packed together like coolies and working in factories at the
bidding of the rest of the world, but as tillers of the soilM
labours will be a mutual guarantee for their existence.
In December 1922, the situation between Germany and France assumed a
particularly threatening aspect. France had new and comprehensive oppressive
measures in view and needed pledges.
Political pressure had to precede economic exploitation, and the French
believed that only by making a violent attack upon the central nervous system
of German life would they be able to make our
tion of the Ruhr, it was hoped in France that not only
would the moral backbone of Germany be finally broken, but that we should be
reduced to such grave economic straits that we should be forced to subscribe
willy-nilly to the heaviest possible obligations.
It was a question of bending and breaking Germany. At first Germany
bent and subsequently broke down completely.
Through the occupation of the Ruhr, Fate once more reached out its hand
to the German people and gave them the chance to arise, for what at first
peared as a heavy stroke of misfortune was found, on closer examination, to
be an extremely promising opportunity of bringing Germany
s sufferings to an end.
<p>As regards foreign politics, the action of France in occupying the Ruhr
really estranged Britain for the first time, Indeed it estranged not merely British
diplomatic circles, which had concluded, appraised and upheld the AngloFrench alliance in a
spirit of calm and objective calculation, but it also
sections of the British public.
The English business-world in particular ill concealed its displeasure at
this incredible additional strengthening of the power of France on the Continent.
Not only had France now assumed from the military standpoint alone a
position in Europe such as Germany herself had not held previously, but she
thus obtained control of economic resources which, from the practical point of
view, combined her ability to compete in the political world with economic
advantages almost amounting to a M
The most important iron and coal mines in Europe were now all in the
hands of one nation which, in contrast to Germany, had hitherto defended its
vital interests in an active and resolute fashion and which had, during the Great
War, given the world fresh proof of its military efficiency. The French
occupation of the Ruhr coal-fields effectively cancelled all that Britain had
gained by the War, and the victors were no longer the diligent and painstaking
British statesmen, but Marshal Foch and the France heM
In Italy also the attitude towards France, which, in any case, had not been
very favourable since the end of the War, now became positively hostile.
The great and critical moment had come when the Allies of yesterday
might become the enemies of to-morrow. The fact that events took another
course and that the Allies did not suddenly come into conflict with one another,
as in the Second Balkan War, was due to the fact that Germany had no Enver
Pasha, but merely a Cuno, as Chancellor of the Reich.
heless, the French invasion of the Ruhr opened up great
possibilities for the future, not only in the field of Germany
but also of her internal politics.</p>
<p>A considerable section of our people who, thanks to the persistent
influence of a mendacious press, had looked upon France as the champion of
progress and liberty, were suddenly cured of its illusion.
As in 1914 the dream of international solidarity was suddenly banished
from the minds of our German M
working class and they were brought back to the
world of everlasting struggle, where one creature feeds on the other and where
the death of the weaker implies the life of the stronger, so again in the spring of 1923.
When the French put their threat into effect and penetrated, at first
hesitatingly and cautiously, into the coal-field of the Ruhr the hour of destiny
had struck for Germany.
If, at that moment, our people had changed not only their frame of mind,
but also their conduct, the German Ruhr could have beenM
made for France what
Moscow was for Napoleon.
Indeed, there were only two possibilities
either to tolerate this new
move, in addition to all the rest and to do nothing, or to focus the attention of
the German people on, that region of sweltering forges and blazing furnaces,
thus firing them with the determination to put an end to this persistent
humiliation and to face the horrors of the moment rather than submit to a terror
Cuno, who was then Chancellor of the Reich, can claim the immortal
it of having discovered a third way, and our German bourgeois political
parties merit the still greater glory of having admired him and collaborated
I shall first deal as briefly as possible with the second alternative. By
occupying the Ruhr, France committed a flagrant violation of the Versailles
Treaty. Her action brought her into conflict with several of the guarantor
Powers, and especially with Britain and Italy.
She could no longer hope that those States would back her in her
egotistic act of brigandM
age. She could only count on bringing the adventure, for
such it was at the start, to a satisfactory conclusion by her own unaided efforts.
For a German National Government there was only one alternative,
namely, the course which honour prescribed.
Certainly at the beginning we could not have opposed France with active
armed resistance, but it should have been clearly recognised that any
negotiations which did not have the argument of force to back them up would
turn out futile and ridiculous.</p>
<p>It was absurd to adopt the attitude,
We refuse to take part in any
unless there was a possibility of offering active resistance, but it
was still more absurd to consent finally to negotiate without having meantime
organised a supporting force.
At the same time, it was, of course, impossible for us to prevent the
occupation of the Ruhr by the adoption of military measures.
Only a madman could have recommended such a course, but while the
impression made by the French actioM
n lasted and during the time that that action
was being carried out, measures could have been, and should have been
undertaken without any regard to the Versailles Treaty
which France herself
to collect a military force which would serve as a collateral
argument to back up the negotiators later on.
For it was quite clear from the beginning that the fate of this district
occupied by the French would one day be decided at some conference table or other.
It must also be quite clear to everybody that eM
ven the best negotiators
have little hope of success as long as the ground on which they stand and the
very chair on which they sit are not under the armed protection of their own people.
A weak pigmy cannot argue with athletes and a negotiator without armed
defence at his back must always acquiesce when a Brennus throws his sword
into the scales on the enemy
s side, unless he can preserve the balance with an
equally mighty sword of his own.
It was distressing to watch the comedy of negotiations which, ever sinceM
1918, regularly preceded each arbitrary dictate that the enemy imposed upon us.
We presented a sorry spectacle in the eyes of the whole world when we
were invited, as if in derision, to attend conferences, simply to be presented
with decisions and programmes which had already been drawn up and passed
a long time previously, and which, though we were permitted to discuss them,
had, from the outset, to be considered as unalterable.</p>
<p>It is true that in scarcely a single insM
tance were our negotiators men of
more than mediocre ability. For the most part they justified only too well the
sarcastic remark made by Lloyd George with reference to Herr Simon,
an excabinet minister of the Reich, that the Germans were not able to choose men of
intelligence as their leaders and representatives.
But in face of the enemy
s resolute determination to acquire power, on
the one side, and the lamentable defencelessness of Germany, on the other,
even a genius could have achieved but little.
ring of 1923, however, anyone who weighed the possibility of
seizing the opportunity of the French invasion of the Ruhr to reconstruct the
military power of Germany would first have had to restore to the nation its
moral weapons, to reinforce its will-power, and to do away with those who
had destroyed this most valuable element of national strength.
Just as in 1918 we had to pay with our blood for failure to crush the
Marxist serpent underfoot once and for all in 1914 and 1915, we have now to
suffer retribution forM
the fact that in the spring of 1923, we did not seize the
opportunity then offered us for finally putting a stop to the mischief being done
by the Marxist traitors and murderers.
Any idea of offering real resistance to the French was pure folly as long
as the fight had not been taken up against those forces which, five years
previously, had broken German resistance on the battlefields by the influence
which they exercised at home.
Only bourgeois minds could have arrived at the
incredible conviction
had probably become quite a different thing now and that the
unprincipled ringleaders of 1918, who callously used the bodies of our two
million dead as stepping-stones on which they climbed into various
government positions, would now, in the year 1923, suddenly show themselves
ready to pay tribute to the national conscience.
It was veritably a piece of incredible folly to expect that those traitors
would suddenly appear as the champions of German freedom.
They had no intention of doing so. Just as a hyena will noM
carrion, a Marxist will not give up betraying his country. It is beside the point
to put forward the stupid argument, that so and so many workers gave their
lives for Germany. That is true, but then they were no longer internationally minded Marxists.</p>
<p>If, in 1914, the German working class had consisted of real Marxists, the
War would have ended within three weeks. Germany would have collapsed
before the first soldier had put a foot beyond the frontier.
fact that the German people carried on the War proved that the
Marxist delusion had not yet penetrated deeply, but as the War dragged on
German soldiers and workers gradually fell once more under the spell of the
Marxist leaders, and to the same degree in which they relapsed, their country
was bereft of their services. If, at the beginning of the War, or even during the
War, twelve or, fifteen thousand of these Jewish corruptors of the people had
been forced to submit to poison-gas, just as hundreds of thousands ofM
German workers from every social class and from every trade and calling had
to face it in the field, then the millions of sacrifices made at the front would not
have been made in vain.
On the contrary, if twelve thousand of these malefactors had been
eliminated in time, probably the lives of a million decent men, who would
have been of service to Germany in the future, might have been saved.
But it was in accordance with bourgeois
without batting an eyelid, millions of huM
man beings to be slaughtered on the
battlefield, and to look upon ten or twelve thousand public traitors, profiteers,
usurers and swindlers, as the nation
s most precious and most sacred asset and
to publicly proclaim their persons inviolable.
Indeed it would be hard to, say what is the most outstanding feature of
these bourgeois circles, mental debility, moral weakness and cowardice, or
rascally ideology. It is a class that is certainly doomed to go under, but,
unhappily, it drags down the whole nation with it iM
The situation in 1923 was similar to that of 1918. No matter what form
of resistance was decided upon, the first prerequisite for taking action was the
elimination of the Marxist poison from the body of the nation, and in my
opinion it was the first task of a really National government to seek and to find
those forces that were determined to wage a war of annihilation against
Marxism and to give those forces a free hand.
It was their duty not to bow down before the fetish of
moment when the enemy from without was dealing the Fatherland a death
blow and when high treason was lurking at every streetcorner at home.</p>
<p>A really National government ought then to have welcomed disorder and
unrest, if this turmoil afforded an opportunity of finally settling with the
Marxists, who are the mortal enemies of our people.
This opportunity having been neglected, it was sheer folly to think of
resisting, no matter what form that resistance might take.
urse, to settle accounts with the Marxists on a scale which would
be of genuine historical and universal importance could not be effected along
lines laid down by some secret council or according to a plan concocted in the
worn-out brain of some cabinet minister.
It would have to be in accordance with the eternal laws of life on this
Earth which are, and will remains those of a ceaseless struggle for existence.
It must be remembered, that in many instances a hardy and healthy nation
has emerged from the ordeal of bM
loody civil war, while from peace conditions
which had been artificially maintained there often resulted a state of national
putrescence that reeked to heaven.
The fate of a nation cannot be altered with the velvet glove and in 1923
the iron hand should have been used ruthlessly to crush the vipers that battened
on the body of the nation. Only after this had been done would preparations for
active resistance have had any point.
At that time I often talked myself hoarse trying to make clear, at least to
d national circles, how much was then at stake, and that by
repeating the errors committed in 1914 and the subsequent years we would
inevitably meet with the same catastrophe as in 1918.
I frequently implored them to let Fate have a free hand and to make it
possible for our Movement to settle with the Marxists, but I preached to deaf ears.
All of them, including the Chief of the Defence Forces, thought they knew
better, until finally they found themselves forced to subscribe to the vilest
capitulation in the recordM
I then became profoundly convinced that the German bourgeoisie had
come to the end of its mission and was not capable of fulfilling any further function.</p>
<p>Then, too, I recognised that all the bourgeois parties had been fighting
Marxism merely out of a spirit of competition without sincerely wishing to
They had long ago become reconciled to the idea that their country was
doomed to destruction and their one care was to secure good seats at the
eral banquet. It was for this alone that they kept on
At that time (I admit it freely) I conceived a profound admiration for the

effort to wipe them out.

miserable pygmies our sham statesmen in Germany appear by
comparison with him!
How nauseating it is to witness the conceit and effrontery of these
nonentities in criticising a man who is a thousand times greater than they, and
how humiliating it is to think that this takes place in a country which as recently
fifty years ago had a Bismarck for its leader!
The attitude adopted by the bourgeoisie in 1923 and the way in which
they dealt kindly with Marxism decided from the outset the fate of any attempt
istance in the Ruhr.
With that deadly enemy in our own ranks it was sheer folly to think of
fighting France. The most that could then be done was to stage a sham fight in
order to satisfy the German national element to some extent, to tranquillize the
seething indignation of the public,
or dope it, which was what was really intended.
Had they really believed in what they did, they ought to have recognised
that the strength of a nation lies, primarily, not in its arms, but in its will, and
that before setting M

the very first day of the fight.</p>
<p>The shadow of one defeat is sufficient to break the resistance of a nation
that has not been liberated from its internal enemies, and give the adversary the

ask whether it was then possible to count on a military sucM

existence, Germany would possess forces which no power in the world could

will be smashed for ever, for never in the course of our history have we been
conquered by the might of oM
ur enemies, but only through our own failings and
the enemy in our own camp.
Since the German Government of that day were unable to decide on such
a heroic step, the only alternative left was to house the first course, namely, to
do nothing and let things slide.
But, at this crucial moment, Heaven sent Germany a great man in the
person of Herr Cuno. He was neither a statesman nor a politician by
profession, still less a born politician, but he was a kind of political office-boy
who was entrusted with odd jobs.
t from that, he was more of a business-man. It was Germany
misfortune that this politicising business-man looked upon politics in the light
of business and acted accordingly.
France has occupied the Ruhr. What is there in the Ruhr? Coal. Then
France has occupied the Ruhr for the sake of its coal!
What was more natural than that Herr Cuno should hit on the idea of a
strike in order to prevent the French from obtaining coal?
Then (at least so argued Herr Cuno), they would leave the Ruhr one fine

were lost in admiration. Of course they needed the Marxists for the strike,
because the strike had necessarily to be an action undertaken by the workers.
It was, therefore, essential to bring the worker (who to a bourgeois statesman
o, was one and the same thing as a Marxist) into a united front with
It was wonderful to see how the countenances of these moth-eaten
bourgeois party politicians beamed with delight when the great genius spoke
the word of revelation to them. Here was a nationalist and a man of genius.
At last they had discovered what they had so long sought, for now the
gulf between Marxism and themselves could be bridged over. Thus it became
possible for the pseudo-nationalist to play the heavy Teuton to adopt aM
nationalist pose and at the same time to extend the trusty hand of friendship to
the internationalist traitors of his country.
The traitors readily grasped that hand, because, just as Herr Cuno had
need of the Marxist chiefs for his
the Marxist chiefs needed Herr
s money. Both parties, therefore, benefited by the transaction.
Cuno obtained his united front, constituted of nationalist chatterboxes
and anti-national swindlers, and now, with the help of the money paid to them
the international imposters were able to pursue their glorious
mission, which was to destroy the national economic system, this time at the
expense of the State.
It was a stroke of genius to think of saving a nation by means of a general
strike in which the strikers were paid by the State. It was a command that could
be enthusiastically obeyed by the most indifferent of loafers.
Everybody knows that prayers will not liberate a nation, but history has
yet to show whether a nation can be set free by

Herr Cuno had demanded two hours more work
from every German, then the swindle of the
over and done with, within three days.
Nations do not obtain their freedom by refusing to work, but by making sacrifices.</p>
<p>Anyhow, the so-called passive resistance could not last long. Nobody
but a man entirely ignorant of war could imagM
ine that an army of occupation
could be frightened and driven out by such ridiculous means, and yet this could
have been the only purpose of an action for which the country had to pay out
milliards and which contributed seriously to devaluate the national currency.
Of course, the French were able to settle down comfortably in the Ruhr
with an easy mind the moment they saw that such ridiculous measures were
being adopted against them.
We ourselves had shown them the best way of bringing a recalcitrant
ation to a sense of reason, if its, conduct implied a serious
danger to the officials which the army of occupation had placed in authority.
Nine years previously we had with lightning-like rapidity wiped out bands of
Belgian francs-tireurs and made the civilian population clearly understand the
seriousness of the situation, when the activities of these bands threatened grave
danger to the German Army.
Similarly, if passive resistance in the Ruhr had really become a menace
to the French, the armies of occupation wouM
ld have needed no more than eight
days to bring the whole piece of childish nonsense to a gruesome end.
The fundamental question will always be, what are we to do if passive
resistance reaches a point where it really gets on the nerves of our opponents
and they proceed to suppress it with force and bloodshed?
Are we still to resist? If so, then we must, whether we like it or not,
submit to severe and bloody persecution, and in that case we shall be faced
with the same situation which we should have had to face, hadM
active resistance, in other words, we should have to fight.
Therefore, so-called passive resistance would be logical only if
supported by the determination to continue this resistance, if necessary, either
in an open fight or by means of guerilla warfare.
Generally speaking, such a struggle is never carried on, except in the
conviction that success is possible.
A besieged stronghold, hard pressed by the enemy, surrenders, to all
practical purposes, at that moment when it is forced to abandon all hope ofM
relief, especially if, in such a case, the defenders are attracted by the promise
of life instead of probable death.</p>
<p>Let the garrison of a citadel which has been completely encircled by the
enemy once lose all hope of deliverance, and the spirit of the defenders is

inevitably have led, if it was to prove successful, passive resistance in the
Ruhr had no practical meaning unless an activeM
front had been organised to
In that case a tremendous effort might have been demanded of our nation.
If all the Westphalians in the Ruhr could have been assured that the home
country had mobilised an army of eighty or a hundred divisions to support
them, the French would have found themselves treading on thorns.
Surely a greater number of courageous men could have been found to
sacrifice themselves for a successful enterprise than for an enterprise that was
This was the classic occasM
ion that induced us National Socialists to take
up a resolute stand against the so-called national battle-cry.
During those months I was attacked by people whose patriotism was a
mixture of stupidity and humbug and who took part in the general hue and cry
because of the pleasant sensation they felt at being suddenly enabled to show
themselves as nationalists, without thereby incurring any danger. In my
estimation, this despicable united front was one of the most ridiculous
phenomena imaginable, and events proved thM
at I was right. As soon as the
trade-unions had nearly filled their treasuries with Cuno
s contributions, and
the moment had come for passive resistance to change over from inert defence
to active aggression, the
hyenas suddenly broke out of the national
sheepfold and appeared in their true light.
Silently, Herr Cuno stole back to his business. Germany was richer by
one experience and poorer by the loss of one great hope.
Up to midsummer of that year several officers, who certainly were not
ave and honourable of their kind, had not really believed that the
course of things could take a turn that wits so humiliating.
They had all hoped that
if not openly, then at least secretly
necessary measures would be taken to make this insolent French invasion a
turning-point in German history.</p>
<p>In our ranks also there were many who counted on the intervention of the
Reich Army. That conviction was so ardent that it exerted a decisive influence
especially on the training of innumerable young men.
But when the disgraceful collapse actually took place, and, after millions
of German money had been spent in vain and thousands of young Germans who
had been foolish enough to trust in the promises made by the rulers of the Reich
had been sacrificed, the Government capitulated in the most humiliating way,
public indignation at such a betrayal of our unhappy nation blazed forth.
Millions, of people now became fully convinced that Germany could be
e whole prevailing system were destroyed root and branch.
There never had been a more propitious moment for such a solution. On
the one hand, an act of high treason had been committed against the country,
openly and shamelessly.
On the other, a nation was, economically speaking, delivered over to
slow starvation. Since the State itself had trampled upon all precepts of faith
and loyalty, made a mockery of the rights of its citizens, rendered the sacrifice
of millions of its most loyal sons fruitless and robbed otheM
last penny, it could no longer expect anything but hatred from its subjects.
This hatred against those who had ruined the people and the country was
bound to find an outlet in one form or another.
In this connection I quote here the concluding sentence of a speech which
I delivered at the great trial that took place in the spring of 1924.
Let the judges of this State condemn us for our conduct at that time;
History, the goddess of a higher truth and a finer justice, will smile as she tears
their verdict and will acquit us of all guilt.
But History will then also summon before its own tribunal, those who,
invested with power, have trampled on law and justice, condemning our
people to misery and ruin, and who, in the hour of their country
took more account of their own ego than of the life of the community.
I shall not here relate the history of the events leading up to November
8th, 1923, and ending with that date. I shall not do so, because I cannot see that
this would serve any bM
eneficial purpose in the future and also because no good
could come of opening old sores that have only just healed.</p>
<p>Moreover, it would be out of place to talk about the guilt of men who,
perhaps in the depths of their hearts, loved their people equally well and who
merely failed to take the same path or did not recognise it as the right one to take.
In the face of the great misfortune which has befallen our Fatherland and
which affects us all, I must abstain from offendM
ing and perhaps disuniting those
men who must, at some future date, form one great united front which will be
made up of true and loyal Germans and which will have to withstand the
common front presented by the enemy of our people.
For I know that a time will come when those who then treated us as
enemies will venerate the men who trod the bitter way of death for the sake of
I have dedicated the first volume of this book to our eighteen fallen heroes.
Here, at the end of this second volume, let me agaM
in, before the adherents
and champions of our ideals, evoke the memory of those men as heroes who, in
the full consciousness of what they were doing, sacrificed their lives for us all.
They must always recall the weak and wavering to a sense of their duty that same duty
which they themselves fulfilled loyally even to the making of the

<p>That man was DIETRICH ECKART.</p>
<h1 id="epilogue">EPILOGUE</h1>
<p>On November 9, 1923, in the fourth year of its existence, the National
Socialist German Workers
Party was dissolved and prohibited in the whole
Reich territory. To-day, in November, 1926, it stands again free before us,
stronger and inwardly firmer than ever before.
All the persecutions of the M
movement and its individual leaders, all
vilifications and slanders, were powerless to harm it. The correctness of its
ideas, the purity of its will, its supporters
spirit of self-sacrifice, have caused
it to issue from all repressions strong than ever.
If, in the world of our present parliamentary corruption, it becomes more
and more aware of the profoundest essence of its struggle, feels itself to be the
purest embodiment of the value of race and personality and conducts itself
accordingly, it will with almostM
mathematical certainty some day emerge
victorious from its struggle.
Just as Germany must inevitably win her rightful position on this earth if
she is led and organized according to the same principles.
A state which in this age of racial poisoning dedicates itself to the care
of its best racial elements must some day become lord of the earth.
May the adherents of our movement never forget this if ever the
magnitude of the sacrifices should beguile them to an anxious comparison with
the possible results.</p>

<h1 id="chapter-xii-the-first-stage-in-the-development-of-the-national-socialist-german-labour-party">CHAPTER XII: THE FIRST STAGE IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE NATIONAL SOCIALIST GERMAN LABOUR PARTY</h1>
<p>Here at the close of this volume I shall describe the first stage in the
progress of our Movement and shall give a brief account of the problems we
had to deal with during that period.
In doing this I have no intention of expounding the ideals which we have
setup as the goal ofM
our Movement, for these ideals are so momentous in their
significance that an exposition of them will need a whole volume.
Therefore, I shall devote the second volume of this book to a detailed
survey of the principles which form the programme of our Movement and I
shall attempt to draw a picture of what we mean by the word
, in this connection, I mean to include all those hundreds
of thousands who have fundamentally the same longing, though in the
individual cases they cannot find M
adequate words to describe the vision that
hovers before their eyes.
It is a characteristic feature of all great reforms that, in the beginning,
there is only one single protagonist to come forward on behalf of several
The final goal of a great reformation has often been the object of
profound longing on the part of hundreds of thousands for centuries past, until
finally one among them comes forward as a herald to announce the will of that
multitude and become the champion of the old desire, which hM
triumphantly realising in the form of a new ideal.
The fact that millions of our people yearn for a radical change in our
present conditions is proved by the profound discontent which exists among them.
This feeling is manifested in a thousand ways. Some express it in their
discouragement and despair; others show it in resentment, anger and indignation.
In some this profound discontent calls forth an attitude of indifference,
while it urges others to violent manifestations of wrath.</p>
<p>Another indication of this feeling may be seen, on the one hand, in the
attitude of those who abstain from voting at elections and, on the other, in the
large numbers of those who side with the fanatical extremists of the left wing.
It was to the latter that our young Movement had to appeal first of all. It
was not to be an organisation for contented and satisfied people, but was meant
to gather in all those who were suffering from profound anxiety and could find
no peace, those who weM
re unhappy and discontented. It was not meant to float
on the surface of national life, but rather to push its roots deep down among the people.
Looked at from the purely political point of view, the situation in 1918
was as follows: A nation had been torn asunder. One part, which was by far
the smaller of the two, comprised the intellectual classes of the nation, from
which all those employed in physical labour were excluded.
On the surface, these intellectual classes appeared to be national-minded, but that word M
meant nothing to them except a very vague and feeble
concept of the duty to defend what they called the interests of the State, which
in turn seemed identical with those of the dynastic regime.
This class tried to defend its ideas and realise its aims by carrying on the
fight with the aid of intellectual weapons, which, insufficient and superficial
enough in the face of the brutal methods adopted by the adversary, were, of
their very nature, bound to fail.
With one violent blow the class which had hitherto governeM
struck down; it trembled with fear and accepted every humiliation imposed on
it by the merciless victor.
Over against this class stood the broad masses of manual labourers who
were organised in movements with a more or less radically Marxist tendency.
These organised masses were firmly determined to break any kind of
intellectual resistance by the use of brute force.
They had no nationalist tendencies whatsoever and deliberately
repudiated the idea of advancing the interests of the nation as such.
contrary, they promoted the interests of the foreign oppression.
Numerically, this class embraced the majority of the population and, what is
more important, included all those elements of the nation without whose
collaboration a national resurgence was not only a practical impossibility, but
was even inconceivable.</p>
<p>Even in 1918 one thing had to be clearly recognised, namely, that no
resurgence of the German nation could take place until we had first re-established
national strength in relation to the outside world.
For this purpose arms were not the preliminary necessity, though our
always blathered about it being so; what was wanted
At one time the German people had more than sufficient armaments, and
yet that did not suffice for the defence of its liberty, because it lacked that
energy which springs from the instinct of national self-preservation and the
The best armament is only dead and worthless materiaM
spirit is wanting which makes men willing and determined to avail themselves
of such weapons. Germany was rendered defenceless, not because she lacked
arms, but because she lacked the will to keep her arms for the further
preservation of her people.
To-day our left-wing politicians, in particular, are constantly insisting
that their craven-hearted and obsequious, but in reality treacherous, foreign
policy necessarily results from the disarmament of Germany.
To all that kind of talk the answer oughtM
No, the contrary is the
truth. Your action in delivering up the arms was dictated by your anti-national
and criminal policy of abandoning the interests of the nation. Now you try to
make people believe that your miserable whining is fundamentally due to the
fact that you have no arms. Just like everything else in your conduct, this is a
lie and a falsification of the true facts.
The politicians of the right deserve exactly the same reproach. It was
through their miserable cowardice that those ruffiansM
of Jews who came into
power in 1918 were able to rob the nation of its arms.
The conservative politicians have neither right nor reason on their side
when they cite disarmament as the cause which compelled them to adopt a
policy of prudence (that is to say, of cowardice).</p>
<p>The truth is that disarmament is the result of their pusillanimity.
Therefore, the problem of restoring Germany
s power is not a question
of how we can manufacture arms, but rather a question of how M
that spirit which enables a people to bear arms.
Once this spirit prevails among a people, then it will find a thousand
ways, each of which leads to the acquisition of arms. A coward will not fire
even a single shot when attacked, though he may be armed with ten pistols; to
him they are of less value than a blackthorn in the hands of a man of courage.
The problem of re-establishing the political power of our nation is first
of all a problem of restoring the instinct of national self-preservation, if fM
other reason than that every preparatory step in foreign policy and every
weighing up by foreign Powers of the military value of a State has been proved
by experience to be grounded not on the total amount of armaments such a State
may possess, but rather on the moral capacity for resistance which such a State
has, or is believed to have.
The question whether or not a nation be desirable as an ally is
determined not so much by the inert mass of arms which it has at hand, but by
the obvious presence of an enthM
usiastic will to national self-preservation and a
heroic courage which will fight to the last breath, for an alliance is not made
between arms but between men.
The British nation will, therefore, be considered as the most valuable
ally in the world as long as it can be counted upon to show that brutality and
tenacity in its government, as well as in the spirit of the broad masses, which
enables it to carry on till victory any struggle upon which it once enters, no
matter how long such a struggle pray last, no matteM
r how great the sacrifice that
may be necessary and no matter what the means that have to be employed
all this even though the actual military equipment at hand may be utterly
inadequate as compared with that of other nations.
Once it is understood that the restoration of Germany is a question of
reawakening the will to political self-preservation we shall see quite clearly
that it will not be enough to win over those elements that are already national-minded,
but that the deliberately anti-national masses mM
believe in the national ideals.</p>
<p>A young movement that aims at re-establishing a German State with full
sovereign powers will therefore have to make the task of winning over the
broad masses a special objective of its plan of campaign.
national bourgeoisie
are so lamentably supine, generally
speaking, and their national spirit appears so feckless, that we may feel sure
they will offer no serious resistance against a vigorous nationaM
l foreign or domestic policy.
Even though the narrow-minded German bourgeoisie should keep up a
passive resistance when the hour of deliverance is at hand, as they did in
s time, we shall never have to fear any active resistance on their
part, because of their acknowledged and proverbial cowardice.
It is quite different with the masses of our population, who are imbued
with ideas of internationalism. Through the primitive roughness of their
natures, they are disposed to accept the idea of violence, whileM
time their Jewish leaders are more brutal and ruthless.
They will crush any attempt at a German revival, just as they smashed
the German Army by striking at it from the rear.
Above all, these organised masses will use their numerical majority in
this parliamentarian State, not only to hinder any national foreign policy, but
also to prevent Germany from restoring her prestige abroad and so establishing
her desirability as an ally.
For it is not we ourselves alone who are aware of the handicap that
ts from the existence of fifteen million Marxists, democrats, pacifists and
followers of the Centre in our midst; foreign nations also recognise this
internal burden which we have to bear and take it into their calculations when
estimating the value of a possible alliance with us.
Nobody would wish to form an alliance with a State where the active
portion of the population is at least passively opposed to any resolute foreign policy.
The situation is made still worse by reason of the fact that the leaders of
parties which were responsible for the betrayal of the nation are ready to
oppose any and every attempt at a revival, simply because they want to retain
the positions they now hold.</p>
<p>According to the laws that govern human history, it is inconceivable that
the German people could resume the place they formerly held without
retaliating on those who were both cause and occasion of the collapse that
involved the ruin of our State.
Before the judgment seat of posterity NovembM
regarded as a simple rebellion but as high treason against the country.
Therefore, it is not possible to think of re-establishing German
sovereignty and political independence without at the same time reconstructing
a united front within the nation.
Looked at from the standpoint of practical ways and means, it seems
absurd to think of liberating Germany from foreign bondage as long as the
masses of the people are not willing to support such an ideal of freedom.
Considering this problem from the M
purely military point of view,
everybody, and in particular every officer, will agree that a war cannot be
waged against an outside enemy by battalions of students; but that, together
with the brains of the nation, the physical strength of the nation is also necessary.
Furthermore, it must be remembered that the nation would be robbed of
irreplaceable assets, if the national defence were composed only of the
intellectual circles, as they are called.
The young German intellectuals who joined the volunteer regiments M
fell on the, battlefields of Flanders in the autumn of 1914 were bitterly missed
They were the most valuable treasure which the nation possessed and
their loss could not be made good in the course of the war.
It is not only the struggle itself which could not be waged if the working
classes of the nation did not join the storm battalions, but the necessary
technical preparations could not be made without a united will and a common
front within the nation itself.
Our nation which has to exist disarmed M
under tie thousand eyes
appointed by the Versailles Peace Treaty, cannot make any technical
preparations for the recovery of its freedom and human independence, until the
whole army of spies employed within the country is cut down to those few
whose inborn baseness would lead them to betray anything and everything for
the proverbial thirty pieces of silver.</p>
<p>We can deal with such people, but the millions, who are opposed to the
national revival, simply because of their poM
litical opinions, constitute an
insurmountable obstacle.
At least, the obstacle will remain insurmountable, as long as the cause of
their opposition, which is international Marxism, is not overcome and its
teachings banished from both their hearts and minds.
From whatever point of view we may examine the possibility of
recovering our independence as a State and as a nation, whether we consider
the problem from the standpoint of technical rearmament or from that of the
actual struggle itself, the necessary prerequisM
ite always remains the same.
This prerequisite is that the broad masses of the people must first be won
over to accept the principle of our national independence.
If we do not regain our external freedom, every step forward in domestic
reform will be at best an augmentation of our productive powers for the benefit
of those nations that look upon us as a colony to be exploited.
The surplus produced by any so-called economic revival would only go
into the hands of our international supervisors, and any social bettermM
would at best increase our output, to the advantage of those persons.
No cultural progress can be made by the German nation, because such
progress is too much bound up with the political independence and dignity of a people.
Since, therefore, we can find a satisfactory solution for the problem of
s future only by winning over the broad masses of our people for the
support of the national idea, this must be considered the highest and most
important task to be accomplished by a movement which does not sM
merely to satisfy the needs of the moment, but considers itself bound to
examine in the light of future results everything it decides to do or to refrain
As early as 1919 we were convinced that to make the masses national-minded would
have to constitute the first and paramount aim of the new
movement. From the tactical standpoint, this decision brought with it a certain
number of obligations.</p>
<p>(1) No social sacrifice could be considered too great in thiM
over the masses for the national revival.
Whatever economic concessions are granted to-day to employees are
negligible when compared with the benefit to be reaped by the whole nation if
such concessions contribute to bring back the masses of the people once more
to an appreciation of their own nationality.
Nothing but meanness and short-sightedness, which are characteristics
that are unfortunately only too prevalent among our employers, could prevent
people from recognising that in the long run no eM
conomic improvement and
therefore no rise, in profits are possible unless the internal <i>v
lkisch</i> solidarity
of our nation be restored.
If the German trade-unions had defended the interests of the working-classes uncompromisingly during the War;</p>
<li>if, even during the War, they had used the weapon of the strike to force
the industrialists (who were greedy for higher dividends) to grant the demands
of the workers for whom the unions acted;</li>
<li>if at the same time they had stood up as good GermanM
of the nation as stoutly as for their own claims; and</li>
<li>if they had given as unstintedly to their country that which was their
then the War would never have been lost.
How ludicrously insignificant would all, and even the greatest, economic
concessions have been as compared with the tremendous importance of such a
<p>For a movement which would restore the German worker to the German
people it is, therefore, absolutely necessary to understand clearly thaM
economic sacrifices must be considered negligible in such cases, provided, of
course, that they do not go the length of endangering the independence and
stability of the national economic system.</p>
<p>(2) The education of the masses along national lines can be carried out
only indirectly, by improving social conditions, for only by such a process can
the economic conditions be created which enable everybody to share in the
cultural life of the nation.</p>
of the broad masses national-minded can never be
achieved by half-measures
that is to say, by feebly insisting on what is called
the objective side of the question
but only by a ruthless and fanatically
one-sided insistence on the aim which must be achieved.
This means that a people cannot be made
in the sense of that
word as accepted by our bourgeois class to-day
that is to say, nationalism
with many reservations
in the vehement and extreme sense.
Poison can be overcome oM
nly by a counter-poison and only the supine
bourgeois mind could think that the Kingdom of Heaven can be attained by a compromise.
The broad masses of a nation are not made up of professors and
diplomats. Since these masses have but little acquaintance with abstract ideas,
their reactions lie more in the domain of the feelings, which determine their
positive or their negative attitude as the case may be.
They are susceptible only to a manifestation of strength which comes
definitely either from the positive or the M
negative side, but they are never
susceptible to any half-hearted attitude that wavers between one pole and the other.
The emotional grounds of their attitude furnish the reason for their
extraordinary stability. It is always more difficult to fight successfully against
faith than against knowledge.
Love is less subject to change than respect. Hatred is more lasting than
mere aversion. None of the tremendous revolutions which this world has
witnessed, have been brought about by a scientific revelation, which has
ved the masses, but always by an ardour which has inspired them, and often
by a kind of hysteria which has urged them to action.
Whoever wishes to win over the masses must find the key that will open
the door to their hearts. It is not objectivity, which is weakness, but
determination and strength.</p>
<p>(4) The soul of the masses can be won only if those who lead the
movement are determined not merely to carry through the positive struggle for
their own aims, but are also determined to destroy the enemy that oppoM
<p>When they see an uncompromising onslaught against an adversary, the
people have at all times taken this as a proof that right is on the side of the aggressor.
But if the aggressor should go only half-way and fail to push home his
success by driving his opponent entirely from the scene of action, the people
will look upon this as a sign that the aggressor is uncertain of the justice of his
own cause and, that his half-way policy may even be an acknowledgment thaM
his cause is unjust.
The masses are but a part of Nature herself. Their feeling is such that
they cannot understand mutual handshakings between men who are declared enemies.
Their wish is to see the stronger side win and the weaker wiped out, or
subjected unconditionally to the will of the stronger.
It is possible to succeed in making the masses national-minded, only if,
positive though the struggle to win the soul of the people may be, those who
spread the international poison among them are exterminated.</p>
>(5) All the great problems of our time are problems of the moment and
are only the results of certain definite causes, and among all these there is only
one that has a profoundly causal significance.
This is the problem of preserving the pure racial stock among the people.
Human vigour or decline depends on the blood.
Nations that are not aware of the importance of their racial stock, or
which neglect to preserve it, are like men who would try to educate the pugdog
to do the work of the greyhound, not understandiM
ng that neither the speed of
the greyhound nor the imitative faculties of the poodle are inborn qualities
which cannot be drilled into the one or the other by any form of training.
A people that fails to preserve the purity of its racial blood thereby
destroys the unity of the soul of the nation in all its manifestations.
A disintegrated national character is the inevitable consequence of a
process of disintegration in the blood, and the change which takes place in the
spiritual and creative faculties of a people iM
s only an outcome of the change
that has modified its racial substance. If we are to free the German people from
all those non-characteristic failings and traits we must first get rid of alien
causes of these traits and failings.</p>
<p>The German nation will never revive unless
the racial problem, and with it, the Jewish question, is taken into account and dealt with.
The racial problem furnishes the key, not only to the understanding of
human history, but also to the understaM
nding of every kind of human culture.</p>
<p>(6) By incorporating in the national community the broad masses of our
people (who are now in the international camp) we do not mean to renounce
the principle that the interests of the various trades and professions must be safeguarded.
Divergent interests in the various branches of labour and in the trades
and professions are not the same as a division between the various classes, but
rather a natural feature inherent in our economic life.
Vocational grouping does not cM
lash in the least with the idea of a national
community, for it means national unity in regard to all those problems that
affect the life of the nation as such.
To incorporate in the national community, or in the State, a stratum of the
people which has now formed a social class, the standing of the upper classes
must not be lowered, but that of the lower classes must be raised.
The class which carries through this process is never the upper class, but
rather the lower one which is fighting for equality of rights.
The bourgeoisie of to-day was not incorporated in the State through
measures enacted by the feudal nobility, but only through its own energy and
leaders who had sprung from its own ranks.
The German worker cannot be raised from his present status and
incorporated in the German folk-community by means of goody-goody
meetings where people talk about the brotherhood of the people, but rather by a
systematic improvement in the social and cultural life of the worker, until the
yawning gulf between him and the other clasM
A movement which has this for its aim must try to recruit its followers
mainly from the ranks of the working class. It must include members of the
intellectual classes only in so far as such members have rightly understood,
and accepted without reserve, the ideal towards which the movement is
striving. This process of transformation and reunion cannot be completed
within ten or twenty years; it will take several generations, as the history of
such movements has shown.</p>
<p>The most difficult obstacle to the inclusion of our contemporary worker
in the national folk-community does not consist so much in the fact that he
fights for the interests of his fellow-workers, but rather in the influence of his
international leaders and their anti-national and non-patriotic attitude which he
If they were inspired by the principle of devotion to the nation in all that
concerns its political and social welfare, the trade-unions would make those
millions of workers mM
ost valuable members of the national community,
irrespective of their own individual struggle on behalf of economic interests.
A movement which sincerely endeavours to bring the German worker
back into his folk community, and rescue him from the folly of internationalism,
must wage a vigorous campaign against certain notions that are prevalent
among the industrialists.
One of these notions is that according to the concept of the folk-community,
the employee is obliged to surrender all his economic rights to the
ployer and, further, that the workers would come into conflict with the folk-community,
if they should attempt to defend their own justified and vital interests.
Those who try to propagate such a notion are deliberate liars.
The folk-community imposes obligations not only on the one side, but also on the other.
A worker certainly does something which is contrary to the spirit of the
folk-community, if he acts entirely on his own initiative and puts forward
exaggerated demands, without taking the common weal or thM
the national economic structure into consideration.
But an industrialist also acts against the spirit of the folk-community, if
he adopts inhumane methods of exploitation and misuses the working capacity
of the nation and, by sweating the workers, amasses million for himself.
He has no right to call himself
and no right to talk of a folk-community,
for he is only an unscrupulous egotist who sows the seeds of social
discontent and provokes future conflicts which are bound to prove inM
the interests of the country.</p>
<p>The reservoir from which the young movement has to draw its members
will be first of all the working classes. These classes must be delivered from
the clutches of the international mania.
Their social distress must be eliminated. They must be raised above
their present cultural level, which is deplorable and transformed into a
resolute and valuable factor in the folk-community, inspired by national ideas
and national sentiment.
, among those intellectual circles that are nationalist in their outlook,
men can be found who genuinely love their people and look forward eagerly to
the future of Germany, and at the same time have a sound grasp of the
importance of a struggle, whose aim is to win over the soul of the masses, such
men will be cordially welcomed in the ranks of the movement.
They can serve as a valuable intellectual support in the work that is to be
done. But this movement can never aim at recruiting its membership from the
king herd of bourgeois voters. If it did so, the movement would be
burdened with a mass of people whose whole mentality would only help to
paralyse the efforts of the campaign to win over the broad masses.
In theory it may be very fine to say that the broad masses ought to be
influenced by a combined leadership of the upper and lower social strata
within the framework of the one movement; but notwithstanding all this, the
fact remains that, though it may be possible to exercise a psychological
influence on the bourM
geois classes and to arouse some enthusiasm or even
awaken some understanding among them by public demonstrations, it is
impossible to eliminate those characteristics, or rather faults, which have
grown and developed in the course of centuries.
The difference between the cultural levels of the two groups and
between their respective attitudes towards economic questions is still so great
that it would turn out a hindrance to the movement the moment the first
enthusiasm aroused by demonstrations calmed down.
it is not part of our programme to transform the nationalist camp
itself, but, rather to win over those who are anti-national in their outlook. It is
this point of view which must finally determine the tactics of the whole movement.</p>
<p>(7) This one-sided, but, consequently, clear and definite attitude must be
manifested in the propaganda of the movement; and, on the other hand, this
clarity is absolutely necessary in order to make the propaganda itself effective.
anda is to be of service to the movement it must be addressed to
one side alone; for if it should vary the direction of its appeal it will not be
understood in the one camp and may be rejected by the other as obvious and
uninteresting, for the intellectual background of the two camps that come into
question is very different.
Even the manner in which something is presented and the tone in which
particular details are emphasised cannot have the same effect on those two
strata that belong respectively to the oppositeM
extremes of the social structure.
If the propaganda should refrain from using primitive forms of
expression, it will not appeal to the sentiment of the masses.
If, on the other hand, it conforms to the crude sentiments of the masses in
its words and gestures, the intellectual circles will be averse to it because of
its crudity and vulgarity.
Among a hundred men who call themselves orators, there are scarcely
ten who are capable of speaking with effect to an audience of street-sweepers,
mechanics, navvies, etc., toM
-day and of expounding the same subject with equal
effect to-morrow to an audience of university professors and students.
Among a thousand public speakers there may be only one who can
address a mixed audience of mechanics and professors in the same hall in such
a way that his statements can be fully comprehended by each group while, at
the same time, he effectively influences both to such an extent that they are
carried away by a common enthusiasm. It must always be remembered that in
most cases even the most beauM
tiful idea embodied in a sublime theory can be
brought home to the public only by men of middling ability.
The thing that matters here is not the vision of the man of genius who
created the great ideal, but rather what his apostles tell the broad masses, how
they do this and with what degree of success.
Social Democracy and the whole Marxist movement were particularly
qualified to attract the great masses of the nation, because of the uniformity of
the public to which they addressed their appeal.</p>
<p>The more limited and narrow their ideas and arguments, the easier it was
for the masses to grasp and assimilate them, for those ideas and arguments
were well adapted to a low level of intelligence.
These considerations led the new movement to adopt the following clear
and simple line of policy. In its message as well as in its forms of expression
the propaganda had to be kept on a level with the intelligence of the masses,
and its value had to be measured only by the actual success it achM
At a public meeting where the great masses are gathered together the best
speaker is not he whose way of approaching a subject is most akin to the spirit
of those intellectuals who may happen to be present, but the speaker who
knows how to win the hearts of the masses.
An educated man who is present and who finds fault with an address
because he considers it to be on an intellectual plane that is too low, though he
himself has witnessed its effect on the lower intellectual groups whose
adherence has to be woM
n, only shows himself completely incapable of rightly
judging the situation and thereby proves that he can be of no use in the new movement.
Only those intellectuals can be of use to a movement who understand its
mission and its aims so well that they have learned to judge the methods of
propaganda exclusively by the success obtained and never by the impression
which those methods, make on them personally.
Propaganda is not meant to serve as an entertainment for those people
who already have a nationalist outlook; M
its purpose is to win the adhesion of
those who have hitherto been hostile to the nation, but who are, nevertheless,
of our own blood and race.
In general, those considerations of which I have given a brief summary in
became the guiding rules and principles
which determined the kind of propaganda we were to adopt in our campaign
and the method by which we were to carry it out.
The success that has been obtained proves that our decision was right.</p>
<p>(8) The ends which any polM
itical reform movement sets out to attain can
never be reached by trying to educate the public or influence those in power,
but only by getting political power into its hands.
It is not only the right, but the duty, of the protagonists of any world
shattering ideal to secure control of such means as will enable them to realise that idea.</p>
<p>In this world, success is the standard whereby we can decide whether
such an undertaking was right or wrong, and by the word
connection I do not mean such a success as the mere acquisition of power in
1918, but the beneficial results of such an acquisition of power.
etat</i> cannot, therefore, he considered successful if, as many
empty-headed critics in Germany now, believe, the revolutionaries succeeded
in seizing control of the State, but only if, in comparison with the state of
affairs under the old regime, the lot of the nation has been improved when the
aims and intentions on which the revolution was based M
have been put into practice.
This certainly does not apply to the German Revolution, as the coup was
called, which was effected by a gang of bandits in the autumn of 1918.
But if the acquisition of political power be a requisite preliminary for
the practical realisation of the ideals that inspire a reform movement, then any
movement which aims at reform must, from the very first day of its activity, be
considered by its leaders as a movement of the masses and not as a literary
tea-club or an association of PhilistiM
nes who meet to play ninepins.</p>
<p>(9) The nature and internal organisation of the new movement make it anti-parliamentarian.
That is to say, it rejects in general, and in its own structure, the principle
according to which decisions are to be taken on the vote of the majority and
according to which the leader is only the executor of the will and opinion of others.
The movement lays down the principle that, in the smallest, as well as in
the greatest, problems, one person must have absolute authority and bear alM
In the movement the practical consequences of this principle are as
follows: The president of a local group is appointed by the head of the group
immediately above his in authority. He is then the responsible leader of his group.
All the committees are subject to his authority and not he to theirs.</p>
<p>There is no such thing as committees that vote, but only committees that work.
This work is allotted by the responsible leader, who is the president of
roup. The same principle applies to the higher organisations
(district), the <i>Kreis</i> (urban circuit) and the <i>Gau</i> (the region).
In each case the president is appointed from above and is invested with
full authority and executive power. Only the leader of the whole party is
elected, at the general meeting of the members, but he is the sole leader of the movement.
All the committees are responsible to him, but he is not responsible to
the committees. His decision is final, but he bears M
the whole responsibility for it.
The members of the movement are entitled to call him to account by
means of a new election, or to remove him from office, if he has violated the
principles of the movement or has not served its interests adequately.
He is then replaced by a more capable man, who is invested with the
same authority and obliged to bear the same responsibility.
One of the highest duties of the movement is to make this principle valid
not only within its own ranks, but also for the whole State.
who becomes leader is invested with supreme and unlimited
authority, but he also has to bear the final and heaviest responsibility.
The man who has not the courage to shoulder responsibility for his
actions is not fitted to be a leader. Only a man of heroic mould can have the
vocation for such a task.
Human progress and human culture are not founded by the multitude.
They are exclusively the work of personal genius and personal efficiency.
To cultivate these and give them their due, is one of the conditions
ry for the regaining of the prestige and power of our nation.
Because of this principle, the movement must necessarily be anti-parliamentarian:
and if it takes part in a parliamentary institution it must be
only for the purpose of destroying this institution from within; in other words,
we wish to do away with an institution which we must look upon as one of the
gravest symptoms of human decline.</p>
<p>(10) The movement steadfastly refuses to take up any stand in regard to
oblems which are either outside of its sphere of political work or seem to
have no fundamental importance for it.
It does not aim at bringing about a religious reformation, but rather a
political re-organisation of our people.
It looks upon the two religious denominations as equally valuable
mainstays for the existence of our people, and therefore it makes war on all
those parties which would degrade the foundation on which the religious and
moral stability of our people is based, by exploiting it in the service ofM
Finally, the movement does not aim at re-establishing any one form of
State or trying to destroy another, but rather at making those fundamental
principles prevail without which no republic and no monarchy can exist for
The movement does not consider its mission to be the establishment of a
monarchy or the preservation of the Republic but rather the creation of a
The problem of the external form of this State, that is to say, its final
shape, is not of fundamentM
al importance. It is a problem which must be solved
in the light of what seems practical and opportune. Once a nation has
understood and appreciated the great problems that affect its inner existence,
the question of formalities will never lead to internal conflict.</p>
<p>(11) The problem of the inner organisation of the movement is not one of
principle, but of expediency.
The best kind of organisation is not that which places a large
intermediary apparatus between the leadership of the movement and the
followers, but rather that which functions with the smallest possible
intermediary apparatus.
For it is the task of such an organisation to transmit a certain idea, which
originated in the brain of one individual, to a multitude of people and to
supervise the manner in which this idea is being put into practice.
From any and every point of view, therefore, the organisation is only a
necessary evil. At best it is only a means to an end, at the worst, an end in itself.</p>
nce the world produces more mechanically-minded beings than
idealists, it will always be easier to develop the form of an organisation than
its substance, that is to say, the ideals which it is meant to serve.
The march of any ideal which strives towards practical fulfilment, and in
particular those ideals which are of a reformatory character, may be roughly
sketched as follows: A creative idea takes shape in the mind of somebody who thereupon
feels himself called upon to transmit this idea to the world. He propounM
faith to others and thereby gradually gains a certain number of followers.
This direct and personal way of promulgating one
contemporaries is the most natural and the best, but as the movement develops
and secures a large number of followers it gradually becomes impossible for
the original founder of the doctrine on which the movement is based, to carry
on his propaganda personally among his many followers and at the same time
to guide the course of the movement.
According as the comM
munity of followers increases, direct
communication between the head and the individual followers becomes impossible.
This intercourse must then take place through an intermediary apparatus
introduced into the framework of the movement. Thus ideal conditions of
intercommunication cease, and organisation has to be introduced as a
Small subsidiary groups come into existence, as in the political
movement, for example, where the local groups represent the germ-cells out of
which the organisation developM
But such subdivisions must not be introduced into the movement until the
authority of the spiritual founder, and of the school he has created, are accepted
without reservation.
Otherwise the movement would run the risk of becoming split up by
divergent doctrines. In this connection too much emphasis cannot be laid on the
importance of having one geographic centre as the chief seat of the movement.</p>
<p>Only the existence of such a seat, or centre, around which a magiM
such as that of Mecca or Rome is woven, can supply a movement, with that
permanent driving force which has its source in the internal unity of the
movement, and the recognition of one head as representing this unity.
When the first germ-cells of the organisation are being formed, care must
always be taken not only to insist on the importance of the place where the idea
originated, but to invest it with a sublime significance.
The creative, moral and practical significance of the place whence the
nt forth and from which it is governed must be stressed in the
same measure in which the original cells of the movement become so numerous
that they have to be regrouped into larger units in the structure of the organisation.
When, the number of individual followers becomes so large that direct
personal, contact with the head of the movement is out of the question, we have
to form those first local groups.
As these groups multiply it becomes necessary to establish higher cadres
in which the local groups are organisM
ed. Examples of such cadres in the
political organisation are those of the region (<i>Gau</i>) and the district (<i>Bezirk</i>).
Though it may be easy enough to maintain the original central authority
over the lowest groups, it is much more difficult to do so in relation to the
higher units of organisation which have now developed.
Yet we must succeed in doing so, for this is an indispensable condition if
the unity of the movement is to be guaranteed and its ideal realised.
Finally, when those larger intermediary oM
rganisations have to be
combined in new and still higher units, it becomes increasingly difficult to
maintain the absolute supremacy of the original seat of the movement and its
Consequently, the mechanical forms of an organisation must only be
introduced if, and in so far as, the spiritual authority and the ideas of the
central seat of the organisation are shown to be firmly established.
In the case of a political structure, this authority can frequently be
guaranteed only by the exercise of powM
<p>Having taken all these considerations into account, the following
principles were laid down for the inner structure of the movement:</p>
<p>(a) That at the beginning all activity should be concentrated in one town:
namely, Munich. That a group of absolutely reliable followers should be
trained and a school founded which would subsequently help to propagate the
ideal of the Movement.
That the necessary authority for later should be established by gaining
ble successes in this particular place.
To secure name and fame for the Movement and its leader it was
necessary, not only to give, in this one town, a striking example to shatter the
belief that the Marxist doctrine was invincible, but also to show that a counterdoctrine was possible.</p>
<p>(b) That local groups should not be established before the supremacy of
the central authority in Munich was definitely established and acknowledged.</p>
<p>(c) That District, Regional, and Provincial groups should be formed noM
only after the need for them had become evident, but after the supremacy of the
central authority has been satisfactorily guaranteed.
Further, that the creation of subordinate units should depend on whether
or not persons could be found who were qualified to undertake the leadership
Here there are two alternatives:
<p>(a) That the movement should have the necessary funds to attract and
train intelligent people who would be capable of becoming leaders.
The personnel thus obtained could then be systemaM
according as the tactical situation and the necessity for efficiency demanded.
This solution is the easier and the more expeditious, but it necessitates
large financial resources, for this group of leaders can work for the Movement
only if they are paid a salary.</p>
<p>(b) Because the Movement, owing to lack of funds, is not in a position to
employ paid officials it must begin by depending on voluntary helpers.
Naturally this solution is slower and more difficult.</p>
<p>It means that the leaders of the Movement have to allow large districts to
remain uncanvassed, unless in these respective districts a member comes
forward who is capable and willing to place himself at the service of the
central authority for the purpose of organising and directing the Movement in
the region concerned.
It may happen that in extensive regions no such leader can be found, but
that at the same time in other regions two or three or even more persons appear
whose capabilities are almost on aM
The difficulty which this situation involves is very great and can be
overcome only with the passage of time.
The necessary condition for the establishment of any branch of the
organisation must always be that a person can be found who is capable of
fulfilling the functions of a leader.
Just as the army and all its various units of organisation are useless if
there are no officers, so any political organisation is worthless, if it has not the
right kind of leaders. If an inspiring personality who has the giM
cannot be mound for the organisation and direction of a local group it is better
for the Movement to refrain from establishing such a group, than to run the risk
of failure after the group has been founded.
A necessary qualification for leadership is the possession, not only of
will-power, but of efficiency, and will-power and energy must be considered
as more important than the intellect of a genius.
The most valuable association of qualities is a combination of talent,
determination and perseveraM
<p>(12) The future of a movement is determined by the devotion, and even
intolerance, with which its members fight for their cause.
They must feel convinced that their cause alone is just, and they must
carry it through to success, as against other similar organisations in the same field.
It is quite erroneous to believe that the strength of a movement must
increase if it is to be combined with other movements of a similar kind.</p>
<p>Any expansion resulting from suchM
a combination will of course mean an
increase in external development, which superficial, observers might consider
to be also an increase of power; but in reality the movement thus admits
outside elements which will subsequently weaken its constitutional vigour.
Though it may be said that one movement is identical in character with another,
in reality no such identity exists.
If it did exist, then in practice there would not be two movements, but
only one. No matter what the difference may be, even if it consists M
measure in which the capabilities of the one set of leaders differ from those of
the other, it is still there.
It is against the natural law of all development to couple dissimilar
organisms; for the law is that the stronger must overcome the weaker and,
through the struggle necessary for such a conquest, increase the constitutional
vigour and effective strength of the victor.
By amalgamating political organisations that are approximately alike,
certain immediate advantages may be gained, but advantagesM
bound in the long run to become the cause of internal weaknesses which will
make their appearance later on.
A movement can become great only if the unhampered development of its
internal strength be safeguarded and steadfastly augmented, until victory over
all rivals is secured.
One may safely say that the strength of a movement and its right to
existence can be developed only as long as it remains true to the principle that
struggle is a necessary condition of its progress and that it has exceededM
maximum limit of its strength at that moment in which complete victory, is
Therefore, a movement must not strive to obtain successes that will be
only immediate and transitory, but it must show a spirit of uncompromising
perseverance in carrying on a long struggle which will secure for it a long
period of inner growth.
All those movements which owe their expansion to a so-called
combination of similar organisms, which means that their external strength is
due to a policy of compromise, are liM
ke plants whose growth is forced in a hot-house.
They shoot up rapidly, but they lack that inner strength which enables the
natural plant to grow into a tree that will withstand the storms of centuries.</p>
<p>The greatness of every powerful organisation which embodies a creative
ideal lies in the spirit of religious devotion and intolerance with which it
stands out against all others, because it has an ardent faith in its own cause.
If an ideal is right in itself and, furnisheM
d with the fighting weapons I
have mentioned, wages war on this earth, then it is invincible and persecution
will only add to its internal strength.
The greatness of Christianity did not arise from attempts to make
compromises with those philosophical opinions of the ancient world which
had some resemblance to its own doctrine, but in the unrelenting and fanatical
proclamation and defence of its own teaching.
The apparent advance that a movement makes by associating itself with
other movements will be easily reacheM
d and surpassed by the steady increase
of strength which a doctrine and its organisation acquires if it remains
independent and fights its own cause alone.</p>
<p>(13) The movement ought to educate its adherents on the principle that
struggle must not be considered a necessary evil, but as something desirable in itself.
Therefore, they must not be afraid of the hostility which their adversaries
manifest towards them, but they must take it as a necessary condition on which
their own right to existence is based.
must not try to avoid being hated by those who are the enemies of
our people and our <i>Weltanschauung</i>, but must welcome such hatred.
Lies and calumnies are part of the method which the enemy employs to
express his hatred. The man who is not opposed, vilified and slandered in the
Jewish press is not a staunch German and not a true National Socialist.
The best standard whereby the sincerity of his convictions, his character
and strength of will can be measured is the hostility which his name arouses
ortal enemies of our people.
The followers of the Movement, and indeed the whole nation, must be
reminded again and again of the fact that, through the medium of his
newspapers, the Jew is always spreading falsehood. If he tells the truth on
certain occasions, it is only for the purpose of masking some greater deception,
which turns the apparent truth into a deliberate falsehood.</p>
<p>The Jew is past master in the art of lying. Falsehood and duplicity are
the weapons with whiM
ch he fights. Every calumny and falsehood published by
the Jews are honourable scars borne by our comrades. He whom they decry
most is nearest to our hearts and he whom they mortally hate is our best friend.
If a comrade of ours opens a Jewish newspaper in the morning and does
not find himself vilified there, then he has wasted the previous day, for, if he
had achieved something, he would be persecuted, slandered, derided, and abused.
Those who effectively combat this mortal enemy of our people, who is at
time the enemy of an Aryan peoples and all culture, can only expect to
arouse: opposition on the part of this race and become the object of its
When these truths become part of the flesh and blood, as it were, of our
members, then the Movement will be unshakable and invincible.</p>
<p>(14) The Movement must use every possible means to cultivate respect
for the individual personality. It must never forget that all human values are
based on personal values, and that every idea and achievement is tM
the creative power of one man.
We must never forget that admiration for everything that is great, is not
only a tribute to one creative personality, but that all those who feel such
admiration become thereby united under one covenant.
Nothing can take the place of the individual, especially if the individual
embodies in himself not the mechanical element, but the element of cultural
No pupil can take the place of the master in completing a great picture
which he has left unfinished; anM
d just in the same way no substitute can take the
place of the great poet or thinker, the great statesman or the great general, for
their activity lies in the realm of artistic creative ability which can never be
mechanically acquired, because it is an innate and divine gift.
The greatest revolutions and the greatest achievements of this world, its
greatest cultural works and the immortal creations of great statesmen, are
inseparably bound up with one name which stands as a symbol for them in each
<p>Failure to pay tribute to one of those great spirits signifies a neglect of
that enormous source, of power which lies in the remembrance of all great men
and women. The Jew is well aware of this. He, whose great men have always
been great only in their efforts to destroy mankind and its civilisation, takes
good care that they are worshipped as idols.
The Jew tries to belittle the respect in which nations hold their own great
men and women. He stigmatises this respect as M
the cult of personality.
As soon as a nation has so far lost its courage as to submit to this
impudent defamation on the part of the Jew, it renounces the most important
source of its own inner strength.
This inner force cannot arise from a policy of pandering to the masses,
but only from the worship of men of genius, with its uplifting and ennobling
influence, to any of our speakers.
Consider that only six or seven poor devils who were entirely unknown
came together to found a movement which should succeed iM
great mass-parties had failed to do, namely, to reconstruct a German Reich,
having even greater power and glory than before.
We should have been very pleased if we had been attacked or even
ridiculed, but the most depressing fact was that nobody paid any attention to us
whatsoever. This utter lack of interest in us caused me great mental distress at
When I entered the circle of these men there was not yet any question of
a party or a movement. I have already described the impression whicM
made on me when I first came into contact with that small organisation.
Subsequently, I had time and opportunity, to study the impossible form of
this so-called party. The picture was indeed depressing and discouraging. It
was a party only in name and absolutely devoid of significance.
The committee consisted of all the party members. Somehow or other, it
seemed just the kind of thing we were about to fight against
a miniature parliament.</p>
<p>The voting system was emM
ployed. When the members of the great
parliaments cried until they were hoarse, at least they shouted over problems
of importance, but here this small circle engaged in interminable discussions
as to the form in which they might answer the letters which they were delighted
Needless to say, the public knew nothing of all this. In Munich nobody
knew of the existence of such a party, not even by name, except our own few
members and their small circle of acquaintances.
Every Wednesday, what was calledM
a committee meeting was held in one
s, and a debate was arranged for one evening each week.
In the beginning, all the members, of the
of the committee; therefore the same persons always turned up at both meetings.
The first step that had to be taken was to extend the narrow limits of this
small circle and get new members, but, above all, it was necessary to utilise
all the means at our command for the purpose of making the movement known.
We chose the following methods.M
We attempted to hold a
month, and later, every fortnight.
Some of the invitations were typewritten, and some were written by
hand. For the first few meetings we distributed them in the streets and
delivered them personally at certain houses.
Each one canvassed among his own acquaintances and tried to persuade
some of them to attend our meetings. The result was lamentable.
I still remember how I personally once delivered eighty of these
invitations and how we waited in the evening for the crowdsM
After waiting in vain for a whole hour the
finally had to open
Again there were only seven persons present, the old familiar seven.
We then changed our methods. We had the invitations typewritten and
multi-graphed at a Munich stationer
s shop. The result was that a few more
people attended our next meeting.
The number increased, gradually from eleven to, thirteen, to seventeen,
to twenty-three and finally to thirty-four.</p>
ollected some money within our
own circle, each poor soul giving a small contribution, and in that way we
raised sufficient funds to be able to advertise one of our meetings in the
nchener Beobachter</i>, which was then an independent paper.
This time we had an astonishing success. We had chosen the Munich
uhaus Keller (which must not be confounded with the Munich
uhaus-Festsaal) as our meeting-place.
It was a small hall and would accommodate scarcely more than one
hundred and thirty persons. ToM
me, however, the hall seemed enormous, and we
were all trembling lest this tremendous edifice would remain partly empty on
the night of the meeting.
clock one hundred and eleven persons were present, and the
meeting was opened. A Munich professor delivered the principal address, and
That was my first appearance in the role of public orator. The whole
thing seemed a very daring adventure to Herr Harrer, who was then chairman
of the Party. He was a very decent fellow, but he had an <iM
>a priori</i> conviction
that, though I might have, quite a number of good qualities, I certainly did not
have a talent for public speaking.
Even later he could not be persuaded to change his opinion. Things
turned out differently. Twenty minutes had been allotted to me for my speech on
this occasion, which might be looked upon as our first public meeting.
I spoke for thirty minutes, and what I always had felt deep down in my
heart, without being able to put it to the test, was here proved to be true; I
At the end of the thirty minutes, it, was quite clear that all the people in
the little hall had been profoundly impressed. The enthusiasm aroused among
them found its first expression in the fact that my appeal to those present
brought us donations which amounted to three hundred marks. That was a great
relief to us. Our finances were at that time so meagre that we could not afford
to have our party programme, or even leaflets, printed. Now we possessed at
least the nucleus of a fund from which we cM
ould meet the most urgent and
necessary expenses.</p>
<p>The success of this first larger meeting was also important from another
point of view. I had already begun to introduce some young and fresh members
During the long period of my military service I had come to know a large
number of good comrades whom I was now able to persuade to join our Party.
All of them were energetic and disciplined young men who, through their
years of military service, had beenM
imbued with the conviction that nothing is
impossible and that where there
The need for this fresh blood became evident to me after a few weeks of
collaboration with the new members. Herr Harrer, who was then chairman of
the Party, was a journalist by profession, and as such, he was a well-educated
man, but as leader of the Party he had one very serious handicap
Though he did his work conscientiously, it lacked the necessary driving
force, probably forM
the reason that he had no oratorical gifts whatsoever.
Herr Drexler, at that time chairman of the Munich local group, was a
simple working man. He, too, was not of any great importance as a speaker.
Moreover, he was not a soldier. He had never done military service, even
during the War, so that he, who was feeble and diffident by nature, had missed
the only school which can transform diffident and weakly natures into real men.
Therefore neither of those two men were of the stuff that would have
enabled them to havM
e an ardent and indomitable faith in the ultimate triumph of
the Movement and to brush aside, with obstinate force and, if necessary, with
brutal ruthlessness, all obstacles that stood in the path of the new ideal.
Such a task could be carried out only by men who had been trained, body
and soul, in those military virtues which make a man, so to speak, agile as a
greyhound, tough as leather, and hard as Krupp steel.
At that time I was still a soldier. Physically and mentally I had the polish
of six years of service,M
so that in the beginning this circle must have looked on
me as quite a stranger.
In common with my army comrades, I had forgotten such phrases as,
That is not possible,
We ought not to take such a
risk; it is too dangerous.
<p>The whole undertaking was, of its very nature, dangerous. At that time
there were many parts of Germany where it would have been absolutely
impossible to invite people openly to a national meeting that daM
direct appeal to the masses. Those who attended such meetings were usually
dispersed and driven away with broken heads. It certainly did not call for any
great qualities to be able to do things in that way. The largest so-called
bourgeois mass meetings were accustomed to dissolve, and those in attendance
would scuttle away like rabbits frightened by a dog, as soon as a dozen
communists appeared on the scene.
The Reds used to pay little attention to those bourgeois organisations
where only babblers talM
ked. They recognised the inner triviality of such
associations much better than the members themselves and therefore felt that
they need not be afraid of them.
On the other hand, however, they were all the more determined to use
every possible means of annihilating, once and for all, any movement that
appeared to them to be dangerous.
The most effective means which they always employed in such cases
were terrorism and brute force.
The Marxist leaders, whose business consisted in deceiving and
misleading the public,M
naturally hated most of all a movement whose declared
aim was to win over those masses which had hitherto been exclusively at the
service of international Marxism in the Jewish and Stock Exchange parties.
German Labour Party,
irritated them. It could easily be
foreseen that at the first opportune moment we should have to face the
opposition of the Marxist despots who were still intoxicated with their triumph
People in the small circle of our own Movement at that time showed a
amount of anxiety at the prospect of such a conflict.
They wanted to refrain as much as possible from coming out into the
open, because they feared that they might be attacked and beaten.
In their minds they saw our first public meetings broken up and feared
that the Movement might thus be ruined for ever.</p>
<p>I found it difficult to defend my own opinion, which was, that the conflict
should not be evaded, but that it should be faced openly and that we should be
those weapons which are the only protection against brute force.
Terrorism cannot be overcome by the weapons of the mind, but only by
counter-terror. The success of our first public meeting strengthened my own
position. The members felt encouraged to arrange for a second meeting on a
somewhat larger scale.
Some time in October 1919 the second larger meeting took place in the
ukeller. The theme of our speeches was
There were four speakers.
I spoke for almost an hour, and M
my success was even more striking than
at our first meeting. The number of people who attended had increased to over
one hundred and thirty. An attempt to disturb the proceedings was immediately
frustrated by my comrades. The would-be disturbers were thrown down the
stairs, with bruised heads. A fortnight later, another meeting took place in the
same hall. The number in attendance had now increased to more than one
hundred and seventy, which meant that the room was fairly well filled. I spoke
again, and once more tM
he success obtained was greater than at the previous meeting.
Then I proposed that a larger hall should be found. After looking around
for some time we discovered one at the other end of the town,
in the <i>Deutsches Reich</i> in the Dachauer Strasse.
The first meeting at this new rendezvous had a smaller attendance than
the previous meeting. There were just about one hundred and forty present. The
members of the committee began to be discouraged, and those who had always
been sceptical were now convinced that thiM
s falling-off in the attendance was
due to the fact that we were holding the meetings at too short intervals.
There were lively, discussions, in which I upheld my own opinion that a
city of seven hundred thousand inhabitants ought to be able not only to stand
one meeting every fortnight, but ten meetings every week.
I held that we should not be discouraged by one set-back, that the tactics
we had chosen were correct, and that sooner or later success would be ours if
we only continued with determined perseverance toM
push forward on our road.
This whole winter of 1919
20 was one continual struggle to strengthen
confidence in our ability to carry the Movement on to success, and, to intensify
this confidence, until it became a burning faith that could move mountains.</p>
<p>Our next meeting in the same hall proved the truth of my contention. Our
audience had increased to more than two hundred. The publicity effect and the
financial success were splendid.
I immediately urged that a further M
meeting should be held. It took pace in
less than a fortnight, and there were more than two hundred and seventy people present.
Two weeks later, we invited our followers and their friends, for the
seventh time to attend our meeting. The same hall was scarcely large enough
for the number that came. They amounted to more than four hundred.
During this phase the young Movement developed its inner form. Some
times we had more or less heated discussions within our small circle.
it was then just the saM
were made against the idea of calling the young Movement a party.
I have always considered such criticism as a demonstration of practical
incapability and narrow-mindedness on the part of the critic.
Such objections have always been raised by men who cannot
differentiate between external appearances and inner strength, but try to judge a
movement by the high-sounding character of the name attached to it and to this
end they ransack the vocabulary of our ancestors, with unfortunate reM
At that time it was very difficult to make the people understand that
every movement is a party as long as it has not realised its ideas and thus
achieved its purpose. It is a party no matter by what name it chooses to call itself.
Any person who tries to carry into practice an original idea whose
realisation would be for the benefit of his fellow men will first have to look
for disciples who are ready to fight for the ends he has in view.
Even if these aims were merely to destroy the existing party system, M
thereby to put a stop to the process of disintegration, then all those who come
forward as protagonists and apostles of such an ideal are a party in themselves
as long as their final goal is not reached.</p>
<p>It is only hair-splitting and playing with words if these antiquated
lkisch</i> theorists, whose practical success is in inverse ratio to their wisdom,
presume to think they can change the character of a movement, which is at the
same time a party, by merely chM
If there is anything which is non-<i>v
lkisch</i> it is this messing about with
old Germanic expressions, in particular, which neither suit the present time nor
conjure up a definite picture.
This habit of borrowing words from the dead past tends to mislead the
people into thinking that the external trappings of its vocabulary are the
important feature of a movement.
It is a mischievous habit; but it is very prevalent nowadays. At that time,
and subsequently, I had to warn followers repeatedly agaM
inst these wandering
lkisch</i> scholars who never accomplished anything positive or practical,
except to cultivate their own superabundant self-conceit.
The new Movement must guard against an influx of people whose only
recommendation is their own statement that they have been fighting for these
same ideals for the last thirty or forty years.
Now, if somebody has fought for forty years to carry into effect what he
calls an ideal, and if these alleged efforts not only show no positive results, but
en been able to hinder the success of the opposing party, then the
story of those forty years of futile effort furnishes sufficient proof for the
incompetence of such a protagonist.
People of that kind are especially dangerous because they do not want to
participate in the movement as ordinary members. They talk rather of the
leading positions which, in view of their past work and also of their intended
activities in the future, are the only positions they are fitted to fill, but woe to a
young movement if the condM
uct of it should fall into the hands of such people.
A business man who has been in charge of a great firm for forty years
and who has completely ruined it through mismanagement is not the kind of
person one would recommend as the founder of a new firm, nor would a
lkisch</i>-minded Methuselah who, for the space of forty years, has been
preaching a great ideal, until it has lost all meaning and vitality, be a suitable
leader of a fresh young movement.
Furthermore, only a very small percentage of such people jM
movement with the intention of serving its ends unselfishly and helping in the
spread of its principles.</p>
<p>In most cases they come because they think that, under the aegis of the
movement, it will be possible for them to promulgate their old ideas, to the
misfortune of their new listeners.
Anyhow, nobody ever seems able to make out what exactly these ideas
are. It is typical of such persons that they rant about ancient Teutonic heroes of
the dim and distant ages,M
stone axes, battle-spears and shields, whereas in
reality they themselves are the woefullest poltroons imaginable.
For they are the very same people who brandish Teutonic tin swords that
have been fashioned carefully according to ancient models and wear padded
bear-skins, with the horns of oxen mounted over their bearded faces, proclaim
that all contemporary conflicts must be decided by the weapons of the mind
alone, and skedaddle at the very sight of a communist cudgel. Posterity will
have little occasion to writM
e a new epic on these heroic gladiators.
I have seen too much of that kind of person not to feel a profound
contempt for their miserable play-acting. To the masses of the nation they are
just an object of ridicule; but the Jew finds it to his own interest to treat these
lkisch</i> comedians with respect and to prefer them to real men who are
fighting to establish a German State.
Yet such people are extremely proud of themselves. Notwithstanding
their complete fecklessness, which is an established fact, they pM
everything better than other people; so much so, that they make themselves a
veritable nuisance to all sincere and honest patriots, to whom not only the
heroism of the past is worthy of honour, but who also feel bound to leave
examples of their own work for the inspiration of the coming generation.
Among these people there are some whose conduct can be explained by
their innate stupidity and incompetence; but there are others who have a
definite ulterior purpose in view. Often it is difficult to distM
The impression which I often get, especially of those so-called religious
reformers whose creed is grounded on ancient Germanic customs, is that they
are the missionaries and prot
s of those forces which do not wish to see a
national revival taking place in Germany.</p>
<p>All their activities tend to turn the attention of, the people away from the
necessity of fighting together for a common cause against the common enemy,
ore ever, that kind of preaching induces the people to use up their
energies, not in fighting for the common cause, but in absurd and ruinous
religious controversies within their own ranks.
These are definite grounds that make it absolutely necessary for the
movement to be dominated by a strong central force which is embodied in the
authoritative leadership.
In this way alone is it possible to counteract the activity of such fatal
elements, and that is just the reason why these <i>v
lkisch</i> Ahasueruses are
rously hostile to any movement whose members are firmly united under
one leader and one discipline.
Those people of whom I have, spoken hate such a movement because it
is capable of putting a stop to their mischief.
It was not without good reason that when we laid down a clearly defined
programme for the new movement we excluded the word <i>v
The concept underlying the term <i>v
lkisch</i> cannot serve as the basis of a
movement, because it is too indefinite and general in its application.
refore, if somebody calls himself <i>v
lkisch</i> this cannot be taken as a sign of
Because this concept is practically indefinable it gives rise to various
interpretations and thus people can use it all the more easily as a sort of
personal recommendation.
Whenever such a vague concept, which is subject to so many
interpretations, is admitted into a political movement it tends to break up the
disciplined solidarity of the fighting forces.
No such solidarity can be maintained if each individual mM
allowed to define for himself what he believes and what he is willing to do.
One feels it a disgrace when one notices the kind of people who trot
about nowadays with the <i>v
lkisch</i> symbol stuck in their buttonholes, and at the
same time realises how many people have various ideas of their own as to the
significance of that symbol.</p>
<p>A well-known professor in Bavaria, a famous combatant who fights only
with the weapons of the mind and who boasts of having laiM

evidence that the <i>v

concept in his own way, but such multifarious opinions cannot be adopted as
the basis of a militant political movement.
I need not call attention to the absolute lack of worldly wisdom, and
especially failure to understand the soul of the nation, which is displayed by
lkisch</i> John-the-Baptists of the twentieth century.
Sufficient attention has been called to these people by the ridicule which
the left-wing parties have heaped on them. They allow them to babble on and
I do not set much value on the friendship of people who do not succeed
in getting themselves disliked by their enemies.
Therefore, we considered the friendship of such people as not only
worthless, but even dangerous to our young Movement.
That was the principal reason why we first calleM
d ourselves a Party. We
hoped that by giving ourselves such a name we might scare away a whole host
lkisch</i> dreamers, and that was also the reason why we named our Party,
The National Socialist German Labour Party.
The first term, Party, kept away all those dreamers who live in the past
and all lovers of bombastic nomenclature, as well as those who went around
beating the big drum for the <i>v
lkisch</i> idea.</p>
<p>The full name of the Party kept away all those hM

the sword of the spirit and all those whining poltroons who take refuge behind

It was only to be expected that this latter class would launch a massed
attack against us after our Movement had started; but, of course, it was only a
pen-and-ink attack, for the goose-quill is the only weapon which these <i>v

In addition to all this one ought to note the arrogance and conceited
impudence with which these obscurantist idlers try to tear to pieces the work
of other people, criticising it with an air of superiority, and thus playing into
the hands of the mortal enemy of our people.

At the beginning of 1920 I put forward the idea of holding our first mass
meeting. On this proposal there were differences of opinion amongst us. Some
leading members of our Party thought that the time was not ripe for such a
meeting and that the result might be detrimental.
The press of the Left had begun to take notice of us and we were lucky
enough to be able gradually to arouse their wrath. We had begun to appear at
other meetings and to ask questions or contradict the speakers, with the natural

It was up to us from the very first to immortalise the Movement by

Within the space of twenty-four hours, we had to be able to arrange mass

During the period which followed, the close bond of union between the
Marxists and the Centre party (in Bavaria as elsewhere) was clearly revealed
by the strenuous efforts made by the Bavarian People

allies by completely prohibiting those placards which
proclaimed a message that was bringing back hundreds of thousands of
workers who had been misled by international agitators and worked up against
their own nation to the bosom of their own people.
These placards bear witness to the bitterness of the struggle in which the
young Movement was then engaged.
Future generations will find iM
n these placards documentary evidence of
our determination and the justice of our own cause. They will also prove how
the so-called national officials took arbitrary action to strangle a movement
that did not please them, because it was making the broad masses of the people
national-minded and winning them back to their own racial stock.
These placards will also help to refute the theory that there was then a
national, government in Bavaria and they will afford documentary confirmation
of the fact that if Bavaria rM
emained national-minded during the years 1919,
1920, 1921, 1922 and 1923, this was not due to a national government, but was
because the national spirit gradually gained a deeper hold on the people and
the government was forced to follow public feeling.
The government authorities themselves did everything in their power to
hamper this process of recovery and make it impossible, but in this connection
two officials must be mentioned as outstanding exceptions.
hner was Chief of Police at the time. He had a lM
in Dr. Frick, who was his chief executive officer.</p>
<p>These were the only men
among the higher officials who had the courage to place the interests of their
country before their own interests in holding on to their jobs.
Of those in responsible positions, Ernst P
hner was the only one who
did not pay court to the mob, but felt that his duty was towards the nation as
such and was ready to risk and sacrifice everything, even his personal
livelihood, to help iM
n the restoration of the German people, whom he dearly loved.
For that reason he was a bitter thorn in the side of the venal group of
government officials. It was not the interests of the nation or the necessity of a
national revival that inspired or directed their conduct. They simply truckled to
the wishes of the government, as their employer, but they had no thought
whatsoever for the national welfare for which they were responsible.
hner was one of those people who, in contradiction to the
y of our so-called defenders of the authority of the State, did not fear to
incur the enmity of the traitors to the country and the nation, but rather courted
it as mark of honour.
For such men the hatred of the Jews and Marxists, and the lies and
calumnies they spread concerning them, was their only source of happiness in
the midst of the national misery. P
hner was a man of absolute honesty, classic
simplicity and German straightforwardness for whom the saying
is not an empty phrasM
e, but the essence of his being.
In my opinion, he and his collaborator, Dr. Frick, were the only men then
holding positions in Bavaria who have the right to be considered as having
taken an active part in the creation of a national Bavaria.
Before holding our first great mass meeting it was necessary not only to
have our propaganda material ready, but also to have the main items of our
In the second volume of this book I shall give a detailed account of, the
guiding principles which we then follM
owed in drawing up our programme.
Here I will only say that, the programme was arranged not merely to set
forth the form and scope of the young Movement, but also with an eye to
making it understood by the broad masses.</p>
<p>The so-called intellectual circles made jokes and sneered at it and then
tried to criticise it, but the effect of our programme proved that the ideas which
we then held were right.
During those years I saw dozens of new movements arise and disappear
ut leaving a trace behind. Only one movement had survived; it is the
National Socialist German Labour Party.
To-day I am more convinced than ever before that, though they may
combat us and try to paralyse our Movement, and though pettifogging party
ministers may forbid us the right of free speech, they cannot prevent the
triumph of our ideals.
When the present system of state administration and even the names of
the political parties that represent it will be forgotten, the programmatic basis
of the National SocialM
ist Movement will supply the groundwork on which the
future State will be built.
The meetings which we held before January 1920 had enabled us to
collect the financial means that were necessary to have, our first pamphlets and
posters and our programme printed.
I shall bring the first part of this book to a close by referring to our first
great mass meeting, because that meeting marked the occasion on which the
Party shed its fetters as a small association and exercised for the first time a
definite influence on puM
blic opinion which is the most powerful factor of our
age. At that time my chief anxiety was that we might not fill the hall and that we
might have to face empty benches. I myself was firmly convinced that if only
the people would come, this day would turn out a great success for the young
movement so that it was with a feeling of tense excitement that I waited
impatiently for the evening to come.
It had been announced that the meeting would begin at 7.30 p.m. A
quarter of an hour before the opening time I entered M
the <i>Festsaal</i> of the
uhaus in the Platz in Munich and my heart nearly burst with joy.
for at that time it seemed very big to me
overflowing. Nearly two thousand persons were present, and, above all, those
people had come whom we had always wished to reach.
More than half the audience consisted of persons who seemed to be
communists or independents. Our first great demonstration was destined, in
their view, to come to an abrupt end.</p>
<p>But they were mistaken. When the first speaker had finished I got up to
speak. After a few minutes I was met with a hailstorm of interruptions, and
violent encounters broke out in the body of the hall.
A handful of my loyal war-comrades and some other followers grappled
with the disturbers and gradually restored a semblance of order. I was able to
After half an hour the applause began to drown the interruptions and the
cat-calls. Then I turned to the question of our programme, which I proM
elucidate for the first time.
Then interruptions gradually ceased and applause took their place.
When I finally came to explain the twenty-five points and laid them,
point by point, before the masses gathered there and asked them to pass their
own judgment on each point, one after another was accepted with increasing enthusiasm.
When the last point was reached I had before me a hall full of people
united by a new conviction, a new faith and a new resolve.
Nearly four hours had passed, when the hall began M
masses streamed towards the exits, crammed shoulder to shoulder, shoving and
pushing, I knew that a Movement was now set afoot among the German people
which would never fade into oblivion.
A fire had been kindled from whose glowing heat the sword would be
fashioned which would restore freedom to the German Siegfried and bring
back life to the German nation.
Beside the revival which I then foresaw, I also felt that the Goddess of
Vengeance was now getting ready to redress the wrongs of November 9th M
The hall was emptied. The Movement was on the march.</p>
<h1 id="volume-two-the-national-socialist-movement">VOLUME TWO: THE NATIONAL SOCIALIST MOVEMENT</h1>
<h1 id="chapter-1-weltanschauung-and-party">CHAPTER I: <em>WELTANSCHAUUNG</em> AND PARTY</h1>
<p>On February 24th 1920, the first great mass meeting under the auspices
of, the new movement took place. In M
uhaus-Festsaal in Munich the
twenty-five theses which constituted the programme of our new Party were
expounded to an audience of nearly two thousand people and each thesis was
enthusiastically received.
Thus we brought to the knowledge of the public the first principles and
lines of action along which was to be conducted the new struggle for the
abolition of a confused mass of obsolete ideas and opinions which had obscure
and often pernicious tendencies.
A new force was to make its appearance among the M
bourgeoisie. This force was destined to impede the triumphant advance of the
Marxists and bring the chariot of Fate to a standstill just as it seemed about to
It was evident that this new movement could gain the public significance
and support which are necessary prerequisites in such a gigantic struggle only
if it succeeded from the very outset in awakening a sacred conviction in the
hearts of its followers.
It was not a case of introducing a new electoral-slogan into the politicM
field, but that an entirely new <i>Weltanschauung</i> of radical significance had to
be established. One must try to recall from what a feeble jumble of opinions
the so-called party programmes are usually
remodelled from time to time.
If we want to gain an insight into these programmatic monstrosities we
must carefully investigate the motives which inspire the average bourgeois
programme committee.
They are always influenced by one and the same preoccupation when
ce something new into their programme or modify something
already contained in it, namely, the results of the next election.
The moment these artists in parliamentary government have the first
glimmering of a suspicion that their beloved public may be ready to kick up its
heels and escape from the harness of the old party wagon they begin to paint
the shafts in new colours.</p>
<p>On such occasions the party astrologists and horoscope readers, the so-called
come forward. For the most part they
are old parliamentary hands whose political schooling has furnished them with
They can remember former occasions when the masses showed signs of
losing patience and they now sense the imminence of a similar situation.
Resorting to their old prescription, they form a
around among their beloved public and listen to what is being said. They
carefully digest newspaper articles and gradually begin to sense what the
s really want, what they abhor and what they hope for.
Every section of the working community and every class of employee is
carefully studied and their secret wishes weighed and considered.
Even the malicious slogans of a dangerous opposition are now suddenly
looked upon as worthy of consideration, and to the astonishment of those who
originally coined and circulated them, appear innocently and as a matter of
course in the official vocabulary of the older parties.
So the committees meet to revise the old programmeM
one, for these people change their convictions just as the soldier changes his
shirt in war-time when the old one is lousy.
In the new programme, everyone gets everything he wants. The farmer is
assured that the interests of agriculture will be safeguarded, the industrialist is
assured of protection for his products, the consumer is assured that his interests
will be protected in regards to market prices.
Teachers are given higher salaries and civil servants will have better
pensions. Widows and M
orphans will receive generous assistance from the
Trade will be promoted. Tariffs will be lowered and even taxes, though
they cannot be entirely abolished, will be almost done away with.
It sometimes happens that one section of the public is forgotten or that
one of the demands mooted by the public has not reached the ears of the party.</p>
<p>In such a case what can still be pushed on to the programme, is hastily
added, until finally it is felt that there are good grounM
ds for hoping that the
whole host of Philistines, including their wives, will have their anxieties laid
to rest and will beam with satisfaction once again.
And so, internally armed with faith in the goodness of God and the
impenetrable stupidity of the electorate, the struggle for what is called
reconstruction of the Reich
When the election day is over and the parliamentarians have held their
last public meeting for the next five years, when they can leave their job of
getting the populace M
to toe the line and can now devote themselves to higher
and more pleasing tasks, then the programme committee is dissolved.
The struggle for the progressive reorganisation of public affairs becomes
once again a business of earning one
s daily bread, which for the
parliamentarian, merely means drawing his salary. Morning after morning, the
honourable member wends his way to the House, and though he may not enter
the Chamber itself, he gets at least as far as the lobby, where there is the
register of members attendM
His onerous service on behalf of his constituents consists in entering his
name and he receives in return a small indemnity as the well-earned reward of
his unceasing and exhausting labours.
After the lapse of four years, or if any crisis arises in which parliament
seems faced with the danger of dissolution, these gentlemen are suddenly fired
with the desire for action.
Just as the grub-worm cannot help growing into a cockchafer, these
parliamentarian worms leave the great House of Puppets and on nM
flutter out among the beloved public.
They address the electors once again, give an account of the enormous
labours they have accomplished and emphasise the malicious obstinacy of their opponents.
They do not always meet with grateful applause, for occasionally the
unintelligent masses throw rude and unfriendly remarks in their faces.
When this spirit of public ingratitude reaches a certain pitch, there is
only one way of saving the situation. The prestige of the party must be
burnished up once again.</p>
<p>The programme has to be amended, the committee is
called into existence once more, and so the swindle begins anew.
Once we understand the impenetrable stupidity of our public, we cannot
be surprised that such tactics prove successful. Led by the press and blinded
once again by the alluring appearance of the new programme, the bourgeois, as
well as the proletarian herds of voters, faithfully return to the fold and re-elect
their old deceivers.
our candidate now change back again into the
parliamentarian grub and become fat and rotund as they batten on the leaves
that grow on the tree of public life to be retransformed into the glittering
butterfly after another four years have passed.
Scarcely anything can be so depressing as to watch this process in sober
reality and to be forced to observe this repeatedly recurring fraud.
On a spiritual training ground of that kind it is not possible for the
bourgeois forces to develop the strength which is necessary tM
fight against the organised might of Marxism. Indeed, they have never seriously
thought of doing so.
Despite the admitted limitations or mental inferiority of the white race
they cannot seriously imagine that they can use
Western Democracy as a weapon to fight against an ideology whose supporters
regard democracy and all its ramifications merely as a means of paralysing
their opponents and gaining for themselves a free hand to put their own
methods into action. CM
ertain groups of Marxists are, for the time being, using
all their ingenuity to create the impression that they are inseparably attached to
the principles of democracy.
It may be well to recall the fact that, when a crisis arose, these same
gentlemen snapped their fingers at the principle of decision by majority vote,
as that principle is understood by Western Democracy.
Such was the case in those days when the bourgeois parliamentarians
believed that the security of the Reich was guaranteed by the monumental
-sightedness of the overwhelming majority, whereas the Marxists, backed
by a mob of loafers, deserters, political place-hunters and Jewish would-be
literary men, simply seized the reins of government.
This was a terrible blow to democracy.</p>
<p>Only those credulous parliamentary wizards who represented bourgeois democracy could have
believed that the brutal determination of those whose interest it is to spread the
Marxist world-pest, of which they are the carriers, could for M
or in the future, be held in check by the magical formulas of western
Marxism will march shoulder to shoulder with democracy until it
succeeds indirectly in securing for its own criminal purposes, even the support
of the intelligentsia of the nation whom Marxism has set out to exterminate.
But, if the Marxists should one day come to believe that there was a
danger that from this witch
s cauldron of our parliamentary democracy a
majority might be concocted, which, if merely by reM
ason of its numerical
weight, would be in a position to legislate and thus to constitute a serious
threat to Marxism, then the whole parliamentarian hocus-pocus would be at an end.
Instead of appealing to the democratic conscience, the leaders of the Red
International would immediately send forth a furious rallying-cry to the
proletarian masses and the ensuing fight would not take place in the sedate
atmosphere of parliament, but in the factories and in the streets.
Then democracy would be annihilated forthwith, anM
intellectual prowess of the apostles who represented the people in parliament
had failed to accomplish, would now be successfully carried out by dint of the
crow-bar and the sledge-hammer of the exasperated proletarian masses just as
in the autumn of 1918.
At one fell swoop they would make the bourgeois world see the madness
of thinking that the Jewish drive towards world-conquest can be effectually
opposed by means of Western Democracy.
As I have said, only a very credulous soul could think of binding hM
to observe the rules of the game when he has to face a player for whom those
rules are nothing but a pretext for bluff or for serving his own interests, so that
he will discard them when they prove no longer useful for his purpose. All the
parties that profess so-called bourgeois principles look upon political life as
being in reality a struggle for seats in parliament. The moment their principles
and convictions are of no further use in that struggle they throw them
overboard, as if they were sand ballast, M
and the programmes are constructed in
such a way that they can be dealt with in like manner.</p>
<p>But such a practice has a correspondingly weakening effect on the
strength of the parties concerned. They lack the great magnetic force which
alone attracts the broad masses, for the masses always respond to the
compelling force which emanates from absolute faith in the ideas put forward,
combined with an indomitable zest to fight for and defend them.
At a time when the one side,M
armed with all the weapons of its
<i>Weltanschauung</i>, no matter how criminal, makes an attack against the
established order, the other side will be able to resist only if its resistance
takes the form of a new faith. In our case, this is a political faith which
exchanges the slogans of weak and cowardly defence for the battle-cry of a
courageous and ruthless attack.
Our present Movement is accused, especially by the so-called national
bourgeois cabinet ministers (the Bavarian representatives of the Centre, for
example) of heading towards a revolution.
We have only one answer to give to those political pygmies, namely,
are trying to remedy that which you, in your criminal stupidity, have failed to
accomplish. By your parliamentarian jobbing you have helped to drag the
nation into ruin, but we, by our aggressive policy, are setting up a new
<i>Weltanschauung</i> which we shall defend with indomitable devotion. Thus we
are building the steps on which our nation once again may ascend to the temple
uring the first stages of founding our Movement we had to take
special care that our militant group, which fought for the establishment of a
new and exalted political faith, should not degenerate into a society for the
promotion of parliamentarian interests.
The first preventive measure was to lay down a programme which of
itself would tend towards developing a certain moral greatness that would
scare away all the petty and weakling spirits who make up the bulk of our
present party politicians.
Those fatal defects M
which finally led to Germany
s downfall afford the
clearest proof of how right we were in considering it absolutely necessary to
set up programmatic aims which were sharply, and distinctly defined.
Because we recognised the defects above mentioned, we realised that a
new conception of the State had to be established, which in itself became a
part of our new conception of life.</p>
<p>In the first volume of this book I have already dealt with the term
lkisch</i>, and I sM
aid then that this term has not a sufficiently precise meaning to
furnish the kernel around which a closely consolidated militant community
could be formed. All kinds of persons, with all kinds of divergent, opinions,
are, at the present time, playing their own game under the motto <i>v
Before I come to deal with the purposes and aims of the National
Socialist German Labour Party I want to establish a clear understanding of
what is meant by the concept <i>v

interpreted in several ways and in practical application it is just as general as

theoretical concept or as a guiding principle in practical life.
acquires a precise meaning only when it is
associated with a distinct and definite form through which the concept is put
To say that a person is
may be very fine phraseology,
but generally speaking, it tells us little or nothing.
There may be some few people who are content with such a vague
description and there may even be some to whom the word conveys a more or
less definite picture of the inner quality of a person thus described.
But, since the bulk of the people are not philosophers or saints, such a
vague religious idea will mean to the individual merely that he is justified in
ting according to his own bent.
It will not lead to that practical faith into which inner religious yearning
is transformed only when it leaves the sphere of general metaphysical ideas
and is moulded to a well-defined belief.
Such a belief is certainly not an end in itself, but the means to an end. Yet
it is means without which the end could never be reached at all.
This end, however, is not merely something ideal, for at bottom it is eminently practical.</p>
bear in mind the fact that, generally
speaking, the highest ideals are always the outcome of some profound vital
need, just as the nobility of beauty lies essentially in its practical value.
By helping to lift the human being above the level of mere animal
existence, faith really contributes to consolidate and safeguard his very existence.
Take from humanity as it exists to-day the religious beliefs which it
generally holds and which have been consolidated through our education, so
that they serve as moral standardM
s in practical life, and abolish religious
teaching without replacing it by anything of equal value and the foundations of
human existence would be seriously shaken.
We may safely say that man does not live merely to serve higher ideals,
but that these ideals, in their turn, furnish the necessary conditions for his
existence as a human being. Thus the circle is completed.
Of course, the word
implies certain ideals and beliefs that are
fundamental. Among these we may reckon the belief in the immortalM
soul, its future existence in eternity, the belief in the existence of a Higher
But all these ideas, no matter how firmly the individual believes in them,
may be critically analysed by any person and accepted or rejected accordingly,
until the emotional concept or yearning has been transformed into an active
force that is governed by a clearly defined doctrinal faith.
Such a faith constitutes the militant feature which clears the way for the
recognition of fundamental religious ideals. M
Without a clearly defined belief,
religious feeling would not only be worthless for the purposes of human
existence, but might even contribute towards general disorganisation, on
account of its vague and multifarious tendencies.
What I have said about the word
can also be applied to the
lkisch</i>. This word also implies certain fundamental ideas.
Though these ideas are very important indeed, they assume such vague
and indefinite forms that they cannot be estimated as having a greater valM
than mere opinions, until they become constituent elements in the structure of a
political party.</p>
<p>The ideals set forth in a <i>Weltanschauung</i> and the demands arising from
them cannot be realised by mere sentiment and inner longing any more than
freedom can be won by universal yearning for it.
Only when the idealistic longing for independence is organised in such a
way that it can fight for its ideal with military force, only then can the urgent
wish of a people beM
come a vital reality.
Any <i>Weltanschauung</i>, though a thousand-fold right and supremely
beneficial to humanity, will be of no practical assistance in moulding the life of
a people as long as its principles have not yet become the rallying-point of a
militant movement which, in its turn, will remain a mere party until its
activities have led to the victory of its ideals and its party doctrines form the
new fundamental principles of a new national community.
If an abstract conception of a general nature is to serM
ve as the basis of a
future development, then the first prerequisite is to form a clear understanding
of the nature, character and scope of this conception, since only on such a basis
can a movement be founded which can draw the necessary fighting strength
from the infernal homogeneity of its principles and convictions.
A political programme must be constructed on a basis of general ideas
and a general <i>Weltanschauung</i> must receive the stamp of a definite political
Since this faith must be directed towaM
rds ends that have to be attained in
the world of practical reality, not only must it serve the general ideal as such,
but it must also take into consideration the existing means that have to be
employed for the triumph of the ideal. Here the practical wisdom, of the
statesman must come to the assistance of the ideal, correct in the abstract, as
evolved by the author of the political programme.
In this way an eternal ideal, which has everlasting significance as a
guiding star to mankind, must be adapted to the exigM
encies of human frailty so
that its practical effect may not be frustrated at the very outset through those
shortcomings which are general to mankind.
The exponent of truth must here go hand in hand with him who has a
practical knowledge of the mind of the people, so that from the realm of eternal
verities and ideals what is suited to the capacities of human nature may be
selected and given practical form.</p>
<p>To take abstract and general conceptions, derived from a
nschauung</i> which is based on a solid foundation of truth and from them to
mould a militant community whose members have the same political faith (a
community which is precisely defined, rigidly organised, of and mind and one
will) is the most important task of all, far the possibility of successfully
carrying out the idea is dependent on the successful fulfilment of this task.
Out of the army of millions who feel, more or less clearly, the truth of
these ideas, and may even understand them to some extent, one maM
This man must have the gift of being able to formulate from the vague
ideas held by the masses, principles that will be as clear-cut and firm as
granite and he must be able to fight for these principles as the only true ones,
until a solid rock of common faith and common will emerges above the
troubled waters of vagrant ideas.
The general justification for such action lies in the necessity for it and
the action of the individual will be justified by his success.
If we try to penetrate the inner meaninM
lkisch</i> we arrive at
the following conclusion. The current political conception of the world is that
the State, though it possesses a creative force which can build up civilisations,
has nothing in common with the concept of race as the foundation of the State.
The State is considered rather as something which has resulted from
economic necessity or is, at best, the natural outcome of political urge for power.
Such a conception together with all its logical consequences, not only
primordial racial forces that underlie the State, but it also leads to
a minimization of the importance of the individual.
If it be denied that races differ from one another in their cultural creative
ability, then this same erroneous notion must necessarily influence our
estimation of the value of the individual. The assumption that all races are
alike leads to the assumption that nations and individuals are equal to one
another. Therefore, international Marxism is merely the adoption by the Jew,
eneral conception of life, which had existed long before his
day, as a definite profession of political faith.
If it had not already existed as a widely diffused infection, the amazing
political progress of the Marxist teaching would never have been possible.</p>
<p>In reality what distinguished Karl Marx from the millions who were
affected in the same way was that, in a world already in a state of gradual
decomposition, he used the unerring instinct of the prophetic genius to M
the essential poisons, so as to extract them and concentrate them, with the art of
an alchemist, in a solution which would bring about the rapid destruction of the
independent nations of the earth. All this was done in the service of his race.
Thus the Marxian doctrine is the concentrated extract of the mentality
which underlies the general <i>Weltanschauung</i> to-day.
For this reason alone it is out of the question and even ridiculous to think
that what is called our bourgeois world can put up any effectivM
Marxism, for this bourgeois world is permeated with all those same poisons,
and its <i>Weltanschauung</i> in general differs from Marxism only in degree and in
the character of the persons who hold it.
The bourgeois world is Marxist, but believes in the possibility of a
certain group of people
that is to say, the bourgeoisie
dominate the world, while Marxism itself systematically aims at delivering the
world into the hands of the Jews.
Over against all this, the <i>v
schauung</i> recognises that the
primordial racial elements are of the greatest significance for mankind.
In principle, the State is looked upon only as a means to an end and this
end is the conservation of the racial characteristics of mankind.
lkisch</i> principle does not admit that one race is equal to another,
but by recognising that they are different, separates mankind into races of
superior and inferior quality.
On the basis of this recognition it feels bound, in conformity with the
hat dominates the universe, to postulate the victory of the better
and stronger and the subordination of the inferior and weaker thus subscribing
s fundamental aristocratic principle and it believes that this law
holds good even down to the last individual organism.
It selects individual values from the mass and thus operates as an
organising principle, whereas Marxism acts as a disintegrating solvent.
lkisch</i> belief holds that humanity must have its ideals, because
ideals are a necessary cM
ondition of human existence itself.</p>
<p>But, on the other hand, it denies that an ethical ideal has the right to
prevail if it endangers the existence of a race that is the champion of a higher
ethical ideal, for in a world composed of mongrels and Negroids all ideals of
human beauty and nobility and all hopes of an idealised future for humanity
would be lost for ever.
On this planet of ours human culture and civilisation are indissolubly
bound up with the presence of the ArM
yan. If he were to be exterminated or
become extinct, then the dark shroud of a new barbaric era would enfold the earth.
To undermine the existence of human culture by exterminating its
custodians would be an execrable crime in the eyes of those who subscribe to
lkisch Weltanschauung</i>.
Whoever dares to raise his hand against the highest image of God, sins
against the bountiful Creator of this marvel and contributes to the expulsion
lkisch Weltanschauung</i> is in profoundM
most sacred will, because it restores the free play of the forces which, through
reciprocal education, will produce a higher type, until finally the best portion
of mankind will possess the earth and will be free to work in spheres which lie
not only within, but without the limits of that earth.
We all feel that in the distant future man may be faced with problems
which can be solved only by a superior race of human beings, which is master
over all the other peoples and has at its disposal tM
he means and resources of
It is evident that such a general definition of what is implied by the term
lkisch Weltanschauung</i> may easily be interpreted in a thousand different ways.
As a matter of fact, there is scarcely one of our recently founded
political parties which does not in some manner have recourse to this
conception; but the very fact of its independent existence, despite the many
others, goes to prove its infinite variety.
Thus the Marxist conception, directed by a central orgaM
with supreme authority, is opposed by a medley of opinions which are not
ideologically impressive in face of the solid phalanx presented by the enemy.</p>
<p>Victory cannot be achieved with such weak weapons. Only when the
international <i>Weltanschauung</i> politically directed by organised Marxism is
confronted by a <i>v
lkisch Weltanschauung</i> equally well-organised and equally
well-directed will the one side do battle with the other on an equal footing aM
victory be on the side of eternal truth.
The organisation and mobilisation of a <i>Weltanschauung</i> can never be
carried out except on a basis of its clear definition.
The function which dogma fulfils in religious beliefs comparable to the
function which party principles fulfil in a political party which is in the
process of being built up. It is, therefore, essential to forge an instrument
which, like the Marxist party organisation which clears the way for
internationalism, can be used in fighting for this idM
eal. This is the aim which
the National Socialist German Labour Party pursues.
That a definite formulation of the idea v
lkisch in connection with a
party movement is a prerequisite for the triumph of the <i>v
Weltanschauung</i> is strikingly proved by a fact which is admitted, however
indirectly, even by those who oppose such an amalgamation of the v
idea with party principles.
The very people who never tire of insisting again and again that the
lkisch Weltanschauung</i> can never be the excM
lusive property of any
individual, because it lies dormant or
in myriads of hearts, only confirm
by their own statement the simple fact that the general presence of such ideas in
the hearts of millions of men has not proved sufficient to prevent the victory of
the opposing ideas, which are, admittedly, championed on the recognised party
If that were not so, the German people ought already to have gained a
sweeping victory instead of finding themselves on the brink of the abyss.
rnational ideology achieved success because it was championed
by a militantly organised party.
The reason for the failure hitherto sustained by the opposite ideology is
that it lacked a united front to fight for its cause.
It is not by allowing the right of free interpretation of its general
principles, but only in the limited and, consequently, concentrated form of a
political organisation that a <i>Weltanschauung</i> can sustain a struggle and triumph.</p>
<p>Therefore, I conM
sidered it my special duty to extract from the extensive
but unformulated material of a general <i>Weltanschauung</i> the essential ideas and
give them a more or less dogmatic form.
Because of their precise and clear meaning, these ideas are suited to the
purpose of uniting in a common front all those who are ready to accept them as
In other words, the National Socialist German Labour Party extracts the
essential principles from the general conception of the <i>v
nciples it establishes a political doctrine which takes into
account the practical realities of the day, the character of the times, the
available human material and all its deficiencies.
Through this political doctrine it is possible to bring great masses of the
people into a systematic organisation which is the main preliminary that is
necessary for the final triumph of this ideal.
<h1 id="chapter-ii-M
the-state">CHAPTER II: THE STATE</h1>
1921, certain circles belonging to the effete bourgeois
class accused our Movement again and again of taking up a negative attitude
towards the modern State.
For that reason the motley gang of camp-followers attached to the
various political parties, representing a heterogeneous conglomeration of
political views, assumed the right of utilising all available means to suppress
the protagonists of this young Movement which, was preaching a new political gospeM
Our opponents deliberately ignored the fact that the bourgeois class itself
stood for no uniform opinion as to what the State really meant and that the
bourgeoisie did not and could not give any uniform definition of this institution.
Those whose duty it is to explain what is meant when we speak of the
State hold chairs in state universities, often in the department of constitutional
law, and consider it their highest duty to find explanations and justifications for
the more or less fortunate existence of that pM
articular form of State which
provides them with their daily bread.
The more absurd such a form of State is, the more obscure, artificial and
incomprehensible are the definitions which are advanced to explain the
purpose of its existence.
What, for instance, could a professor at a royal and imperial university
write about the meaning and purpose of a State in a country whose constitution
represented the greatest monstrosity of the twentieth century?
That would be a difficult undertaking indeed, in view of the fact M
contemporary professor of constitutional law is obliged not so much to serve
the cause of truth as to serve a definite purpose, and this purpose is to defend
at all costs the existence of that monstrous human mechanism which we now
Nobody need be surprised if concrete facts are evaded as far as,
possible when the problem of the State is under discussion and if professors
adopt the tactics of concealing themselves in a morass of abstract values,
duties and purposes which are described as
<p>Generally speaking, these various theorists may be classed in three groups:</p>
<p>1. Those who held that the State is a more or less voluntary association
of men under governmental authority.
This is numerically the largest group. In its ranks are to be found those
who worship our present principle of legalized authority.
In their eyes the will of the people plays no part whatever in the whole
affair. For them, the fact that the State exists M
is sufficient reason to consider it
sacred and inviolable.
In order to champion this aberration of the human brain one would have
to have a sort of canine adoration for what is called the authority of the State.
In the minds of these people the means is quickly and easily substituted
for the end. The State no longer exists for the purpose of serving men, but men
exist for the purpose of revering the authority of the State, which is vested in
its functionaries, even down to the most inferior official.
event this placid and ecstatic adoration from changing into
something that might become in any way disturbing, the authority of the State is
limited simply to the task of preserving law and order.
Thus it is no longer either a means or an end. The State must see that how
and order are preserved and, in their turn, law and order must make the
existence of the State possible.
All life must move between these two poles. In Bavaria, this view is
upheld by the artful politicians of the Bavarian Centre, which is called tM
In Austria, the black-and-yellow Legitimists adopt a similar attitude.
In the Reich, unfortunately, the so-called conservative elements often
hold the same view.</p>
<p>2. The second group is numerically somewhat smaller.
It includes those who would make the existence of the State dependent on
certain conditions. They insist that not only should there be a uniform system of
government, but also, if possible, uniformity of language, if only for technical
reasons of administration.M
<p>The authority of the State is no longer, the sole and exclusive end for
which the State exists, but it must also promote the good of its subjects.
mostly, based on a misunderstanding of the meaning
of that word, enter into the concept of the State as it exists in the minds of this group.
The form of government is no longer considered inviolable simply
because it exists. It must submit to the test of practical efficiency.
Its venerable age no longM
er protects it from criticism in the light of
modern exigencies. Moreover, in their view, the first duty laid upon the State is
to guarantee the economic well-being of the individual citizen.
Hence it is judged from the practical standpoint and according to general
principles based on the idea of economic returns.
The chief representatives of this theory of the State are to be found
among the average German bourgeoisie, especially our liberal democrats.</p>
<p>3. The third group is numerically the smallest. In the M
means for the realisation of aims (generally vague in conception) dictated by a
policy of power, on the part of a united people speaking the same language.
They want a common language not only because they hope that thereby
the State will be furnished with a solid basis for the extension of its power
beyond its own frontiers, but also because they think
though falling into a
fundamental error by so doing
that such a common language would facilitate
the carrying out of a definite process of natiM
During the last century it was lamentable for those who had to witness it,
to notice how in these circles I have just mentioned the word
was frivolously played with, though often with the very best of intentions.
I well remember how, in the days of my youth, this very term used to
give rise to notions which were false to an incredible degree. Even in Pan-German
circles one heard the opinion expressed that the Austrian Germans
might very well succeed in Germanising the Austrian SlavM
government were ready to co-operate.</p>
<p>Those people did not understand that a policy of Germanisation can be
carried out only as regards territory and not as regards human beings.
What was generally understood by this term was the enforced adoption
of the German language, but it is almost inconceivable that people should
imagine that a Negro or a Chinaman, for example, can become German simply
by learning the German language, by being willing to speak it forM
their lives and even to vote in favour of some German political party.
Our bourgeois nationalists could never clearly see that such a process of
Germanisation is in reality de-Germanisation, for even if all the outstanding
and, visible differences between the various peoples could be bridged over
and finally eliminated by the use of a common language, this would give rise to
a process of bastardisation which in this case would not signify
Germanisation, but the annihilation of the German element.
e course of history it has happened only too often that a conquering
race succeeded by force in compelling the people whom they had subjected to
speak their tongue, with the result that after a thousand years their language
was spoken by another people and thus the conqueror finally turned out to be
What makes a people or, to be more correct, a race, is not language but
blood. It would therefore be justifiable to speak of Germanisation only if that
process could change the blood of the people who werM
e subjected to it, which
is obviously impossible.
A change would be possible only by a mixture of blood, but in this case
the quality of the superior race would be debased. The final result of such a
mixture would be that precisely those qualities were destroyed which had
enabled the conquering race to achieve victory over an inferior people.
It is especially cultural creative ability which disappears when a
superior race intermixes with an inferior one, even though all the resultant
mongrel race speaks the languagM
e of the race that had once been superior.
For a certain time there will be a conflict between the different
mentalities and it may be that a nation which is in a state of progressive
degeneration will at the last moment rally its cultural creative powers and once
again produce striking cultural masterpieces.
These are, however, produced only by individuals belonging to the
superior race or by hybrids of the first crossing, in whom the superior blood
has remained dominant and seeks to assert itself, but never by thM
descendants of such hybrids.</p>
<p>These are always in a state of cultural retrogression. We must consider it
fortunate that a Germanisation of Austria according to the plan of Joseph II did
Probably the result would have been that the Austrian State would have
survived, but at the same time the use of a common language would have
debased the racial quality of the German element.
In the course of centuries a certain herd instinct might have been
but the herd itself would have deteriorated in quality. It is possible
that a constitutional State would have been established, but a culturally
creative people would have been lost to the world.
For the German nation it was better that this process of intermixture did
not take place, although it was not renounced for any high-minded reasons, but
simply through the short-sighted pettiness of the Habsburgs.
If it had taken place, the German people could now scarcely be looked
upon as a cultural factor.
ustria, however, but also in Germany, these so-called
national circles were, and still are, under the influence of similar erroneous ideas.
The much favoured policy with regard to Poland which provided for the
Germanisation of the eastern provinces was, unfortunately, practically always
based on the same false reasoning.
Here again it was believed that the Polish people could be Germanised
by being compelled to use the German language. The result would have been
fatal, for people of an alien race by expressing theiM
r alien ideas in the German
language would have debased the dignity and nobility of our nation by their
It is revolting to think how much damage is indirectly done to German
prestige to-day owing to the fact that the German patois of Jews entering the
United States enables them to be classed as Germans, because of the ignorance
of Americans with regard to things German. Here nobody would dream of
accepting the fact that these lousy emigrants from the East generally speak</p>
<p>German as proof of their German origin and nationality. What has been
beneficially Germanised in the course of history was the land which our
ancestors conquered with the sword and colonised with German tillers of the soil.
Inasmuch as they introduced foreign blood into our national body in
carrying out this colonisation, they helped to bring about the lamentable
disintegration of our racial character, a process which has resulted in our
German hyper-individualism, though this latter characteristiM
c is, unfortunately,
frequently praised even now.
In the third group also, there are people who, to a certain degree,
consider the State as an end in itself. Hence they consider its preservation as
one of the highest aims of human existence.
Summing up, we arrive at the following conclusion: A common feature
of all these views is, that they are not grounded on a recognition of the
profound truth that the capacity for creating cultural values is essentially based
on the racial element.
In accordance with this fact, M
the paramount purpose of the State to
preserve and improve the race, an indispensable condition of all progress in
Thus the Jew, Karl Marx, was able to utilise and exploit these false
concepts and ideas on the nature and purpose of the State.
By eliminating from the concept of the State all thought of the obligation
which the State has towards the race, without finding any other formula that
might be universally accepted, the bourgeois teaching prepared the way for that
doctrine which rejects thM
That is why the bourgeois struggle against Marxian internationalism is
doomed to fail in this particular. The bourgeois classes have already sacrificed
the basic principles which alone could furnish a solid footing for their ideas.
Their crafty opponent has perceived the defects in their structure and
advances to the assault with those weapons which they themselves have
unwittingly placed in his hands.
Therefore any new movement which is based on the <i>v
Weltanschauung</i> will first of alM
l have to put forward a clear and logical
definition of the nature and purpose of the State.</p>
<p>The fundamental principle is that the State is not an end in itself, but the
means to an end. It is the preliminary condition for the development of a higher
form of human civilisation, but not the reason for such a development, for
which a culturally creative race is alone responsible.
There may be hundreds of excellent States on this earth and yet if the
Aryan, who is the creatM
or and custodian of civilisation, should disappear, all
culture corresponding to the spiritual needs of the superior nations to-day
would also disappear. We may go still further and say that the fact that States
have been created by human beings does not exclude the possibility that the
human race may become extinct, if the superior intellectual faculties and
powers of adaptation were to be lost because the race possessing these
faculties and powers had disappeared.
If, for instance, the surface of the globe were tM
o be shaken to-day by
some seismic convulsion and if new Himalayas were to emerge from the
waves of the sea, this one catastrophe alone might annihilate human civilisation.
No State could continue to exist. All order would be shattered, and all
vestiges of cultural products which had been evolved in the course of
thousands of years would disappear.
Nothing would be left but one tremendous field of death and destruction
submerged in floods of water and mud. If, however, only a few people were to
survive this terriblM
e havoc, and if these people belonged to a definite race that
had the innate power to build up a civilisation, when the commotion had
passed, the earth would again bear witness to the creative power of the human
spirit, even though a span of a thousand years might intervene.
Only with the extermination of the last race that possesses the gift of
cultural creativeness, and indeed only if all the individuals of that race also
disappeared, would the earth definitely be turned into a desert.
On the other hand, modem hiM
story furnishes examples to show that States
which are of racial origin cannot, if the representatives of that race lack
creative genius, preserve them from disaster and destruction.
Just as many varieties of prehistoric animals had to give way to others
and leave no trace behind them, so man will also have to give way, if he loses
that definite intellectual faculty which enables him to find the weapons that are
necessary for him to preserve his own existence.</p>
the State as such that brings about a certain definite advance in
cultural progress. The State can only protect the race that is the cause of such progress.
The State as such may well exist without undergoing any change for
hundreds of years, though the cultural faculties and the general life of the
people, which is shaped by these faculties, may have suffered profound
changes, by reason of the fact that the State did not prevent a mixing of races
The present State, for instance, may continue to M
mechanical form, but the poison of miscegenation permeating the national body
is bringing about a cultural decadence which is already manifesting itself in
various symptoms of a detrimental character.
Thus the indispensable prerequisite for the existence of a superior type
of human beings is not the State, but the race, which is alone capable of
producing that higher type.
This capacity is always there, though it will lie dormant unless external
circumstances awaken it to action. Nations, or rather M
endowed with the faculty of cultural creativeness possess this faculty in a
latent form during periods when external circumstances are unfavourable for
the time being. They therefore do not allow the faculty to express itself effectively.
It is, therefore, outrageously unjust to speak of the pre-Christian Germans
as uncivilised barbarians, for such they never were.
But the severity of the climate that prevailed in the northern regions
which they inhabited, imposed conditions of life which hampered M
development of their creative faculties.
If they had come to the fairer climate of the South, with no previous
culture whatsoever, and if they had acquired the necessary human material
that is to say, men of an inferior race
to serve them as tools in performing
necessary labours, the cultural faculty dormant in them would have blossomed
forth in splendour as happened in the case of the Greeks, for example.</p>
<p>But this primordial creative faculty in cultural thinM
gs was not solely due
to their northern climate. Neither the Laplanders nor the Eskimos would have
become creators of a culture if they had been transplanted to the South.
This wonderful creative faculty is a special gift bestowed on the Aryan,
whether it lies dormant in him or becomes active, according as adverse
conditions and surroundings prevent the active expression of that faculty or
favourable circumstances permit it.
From these facts the following conclusions may be drawn: The State is
only a means to an enM
Its end and its purpose are to preserve and promote a community of
human beings who are physically as well as spiritually kindred.
Above all, it must preserve the existence of the race, thereby providing
the indispensable condition for the free development of all the forces dormant
A great part of these faculties will always have to be employed in the
first place to preserve the physical existence of the race, and only the
remaining portion will be free to work in the field of intellectual progressM
But, as a matter of fact, the one is always, the fundamental prerequisite
Those States which do not serve this purpose have no justification for
their existence. They are monstrosities.
The fact that they do exist is no more of a justification than the successful
raids carried out by a band of pirates can be considered a justification of piracy.
We National Socialists, who are fighting for a new <i>Weltanschauung</i>,
must never take our stand on the famous
, if these be mistakeM
facts. If we did so, we should cease to be the protagonists of a new and great
idea and would become slaves in the service of the fallacy which is dominant to-day.
We must make a clear-cut distinction between the vessel and its contents.
The State is only the vessel and the race is what it contains.
The vessel can have significance only if it preserves and safeguards the
contents. Otherwise it is worthless.</p>
<p>Hence, the supreme purpose of the v
lkisch State is to guard M
preserve those racial elements which, through their work in the cultural field,
create that beauty and dignity which are characteristic of a higher mankind.
As Aryans, we can consider the State only as the living organism of a
people, an organism which does not merely preserve the existence of a people,
but functions in such a way as to lead that people to a position of supreme
liberty by the progressive development of its intellectual and cultural faculties.
What they want to impose upon us as a State to-day iM
nothing but a monstrosity, the product of a profound human abet ration which
brings untold suffering in its train.
We National Socialists know that in holding these views we are taking
up a revolutionary stand in the world of to-day and that we are branded as revolutionaries.
Despite this, our views and our conduct will not be determined by the
approbation or disapprobation of our contemporaries, but only by our duty in
following a truth which we have acknowledged.
In doing this we, have reason toM
believe that posterity will have a clearer
insight and will not only understand the work we are doing to-day, but will
also ratify it as the right work and will extol it accordingly.
On these principles, we National Socialists base our standards of value
in appraising a State. This value will be relative when viewed from the
particular standpoint of the individual nation, but it will be absolute, when
considered from the standpoint of humanity as a whole.
In other words; this means that the excellence of a State cM
judged by the level of its culture or the degree of importance which the outside
world attaches to its power, but that its excellence must be judged by the
degree to which its constitution serves the race in question.
A State may be considered as a model example if it adequately serves
not only the vital needs of the race it represents, but if by its very existence it
actually ensures the preservation of this same race, no matter what general
cultural significance this constitution may have within the fM
ramework of the world.</p>
<p>For it is not the task of the State to create human capabilities, but only to
assure free scope for the exercise of capabilities that already exist.
On the other hand, a State may be called bad if, in spite of the existence
of a high cultural level, it dooms to destruction the representatives of that
culture by breaking up their racial compositeness. For the practical effect of
such a policy would be to destroy those conditions that are indispensabM
the ulterior existence of that culture, which the State did not create, but which
is the fruit of the creative power inherent in the race whose existence is
assured by being united in the living organism of the State.
Once again, let me emphasise the fact that the State itself is not the
substance but the form. Therefore, the cultural level of a people is not the
standard by which we can judge the value of the State in which that people lives.
It is evident that a people endowed with high creative powers in M
cultural sphere is of more worth than a tribe of Negroes, and yet the
constitutional organism of the former, if judged from the standpoint of
efficiency, may be worse than that of the Negroes.
Not even the best of States and state institutions can cultivate in a people
faculties which they lack and which they never possessed, but a bad State may
gradually destroy the faculties which once existed.
This it can do by allowing or favouring the suppression of those who are
the champions of a racial culture.
h of a State can, therefore, be determined only by asking how
far it actually succeeds in promoting the well-being of a definite race and not
by the role which it plays in the world at large.
Its relative worth can be estimated readily and accurately, but it is
difficult to judge its absolute worth, because the latter is conditioned not only
by the State, but also by the quality and cultural level of the people that belong
to the individual State in question.
Therefore, when we speak of the high mission of the StatM
forget that the high mission belongs to the people and that the business of the
State is to use its organising powers for the purpose of furnishing the necessary
conditions which allow this people freely to develop its creative faculties.</p>
<p>Again, if we ask what kind of constitution we Germans need, we must
first have a clear notion as to the people which it is destined to embrace and
what purpose it must serve.
Unfortunately, German national life is not baseM
d on a uniform racial
nucleus,. The process of welding the original elements together has not gone so
far as to warrant us in saying that a new race has emerged.
On the contrary, the poison which has invaded the national body,
especially since the Thirty Years
War, has destroyed the uniform constitution
not only of our blood, but also of our national soul. The open frontiers of our
native country, the association with non-German foreign elements in the
territories that lie all along those frontiers, and especialM
ly the strong influx of
foreign blood into the interior of the Reich itself, has prevented any complete
assimilation of those various elements, because the influx has continued steadily.
Out of this melting-pot no new race has arisen. The heterogeneous
elements continue to exist side by side, and the result is that, especially in
times of crisis, when the herd usually flocks together, the Germans disperse in
The fundamental racial elements are not only different in different
districts, but there areM
also various elements within these various districts.
Beside the Nordic type we find the East-European type, beside the
Eastern there is the Dinaric, the Western type intermingling with both, and
hybrids among them all. That is a grave drawback to us.
Through it the Germans lack that strong herd instinct which arises from
unity of blood and saves nations from ruin in dangerous and critical times,
because on such occasions small differences disappear, and a united herd faces
What we understand by the worM
d hyper-individualism is explained by
the fact that our primordial racial elements have existed side by side without
In times of peace such a situation may offer some advantages but taken
all in all, it has prevented us from becoming the masters of the world.</p>
<p>If, in its historical development, the German people had possessed that
united herd instinct by which other peoples have so much benefited, then the
German Reich would probably be mistress of theM
World history would have taken another course and no man can tell if
what many benighted pacifists hope to attain by petitioning, whining and
crying, might not have been achieved in this way, namely, a peace which would
not be based upon the waving of olive branches and tearful misery-mongering
of pacifist old women, but a peace guaranteed by the triumphant sword of a
people endowed with the power to master the world and administer it in the
service of a higher civilisation.
The fact that our people M
were not a national entity based on unity of
blood has been the source of untold misery for us.
To many petty German potentates it gave residential capital cities; but the
German people as a whole was deprived of its right to rulership.
Even to-day our nation still suffers from this lack of inner unity, but what
has been the cause of our past and present misfortunes may turn out a blessing
for us in the future.
Though on the one hand it may be a drawback that our racial elements
were not welded together, so that noM
homogeneous national body could
develop, on the other hand, it was fortunate that, since at least a part of our best
blood was thus kept pure, its racial quality was not debased. A complete
assimilation of all our racial elements would certainly have brought about a
homogeneous national organism, but, as has been proved in the case of every
racial mixture, it would have been less capable of creating a civilisation than
would its best original elements.
One benefit resulting from the fact that there was no all-rounM
assimilation is the fact that even now we have large groups of German Nordic
people within our national organism, and that their blood has not been mixed
with the blood of other races.
We must look upon this as our most valuable asset for the sake of the future.
During that dark period of absolute ignorance in regard to all racial
laws, when each individual was considered to be on a par with every other,
there could be no clear appreciation of the difference between the various
fundamental racial characteristics.M
<p>We know to-day that a complete assimilation of all the various elements
which constitute the nation might have resulted in giving us a larger share of
On the other hand, the highest of human aims would not have been
attained, because the only kind of people, which Fate has obviously chosen to
bring about this perfection, would have been lost in the general mixture of
races which would have resulted from such a racial amalgamation.
Nevertheless, what has M
been prevented by a friendly Destiny, without
any assistance on our part, must now be reconsidered and utilised in the light
of our new knowledge.
He who talks of the German people as having a mission to fulfil on this
earth must know that this mission cannot be fulfilled except by the building up
of a State whose highest purpose is to preserve and promote those nobler
elements of our race, and of the whole of mankind, which have remained unimpaired.
Thus, for the first time a high inner purpose is accredited to thM
contrast to the ridiculous thesis that the State should do no more than act as the
guardian of public law and order, so that everybody can peacefully dupe
everybody else, it is given a very high mission indeed in preserving and
encouraging the highest types of humanity which a beneficent Creator has
bestowed on this earth.
Out of a dead mechanism which claims to be an end in itself a living
organism shall arise which has to serve one purpose exclusively, and that a
purpose which belongs to a higher ordeM
As a State, the German Reich shall include all Germans, Its task is not
only to gather in and foster the most valuable sections of our people, but to
lead them slowly and surely to a dominant position in the world.
Thus a period of stagnation is superseded by a period of effort. And
here, and in every other sphere, the proverb holds good, that to rest is to rust,
and furthermore the proverb, that victory will always be won by him who attacks.
The higher the final goal which we strive to reach, and the lM
understood at the time by the broad masses, the more magnificent will be our success.</p>
<p>That is the lesson which history teaches, and the achievement will be all
the more significant, if the end is conceived in the right way and the fight
carried through with unswerving persistence.
Many of the officials who direct the affairs of State nowadays may find it
easier to work for the maintenance of the present order than to fight for a new one.
They will find it more M
comfortable to look upon the State as a
mechanism, whose purpose is its own preservation, and to say that
belong to the State,
as if anything that grew from the inner life of the nation can
logically serve anything but the national life, and as if man could have any finer
task than to serve his fellow beings.
Naturally, it is easier, as I have said, to consider the authority of the State
as nothing but the formal mechanism of an organisation, rather than as the
sovereign incarnation of a people
s instinct for self-preservation on this earth.
For these weak minds the State (and the authority of the State) is nothing
but an aim in itself, while for us it is an effective weapon in the great and
eternal struggle for existence, a weapon to which everyone must yield, not
because it is a mere formal mechanism, but because it is the main expression of
our common will to exist.
Therefore, in the fight for our new idea, which conforms completely to
the primal meaning of life, we shall find only a small number of coM
social order which has become decrepit not only physically, but mentally.
From these circles only a few exceptional people will join our ranks,
only those few old people whose hearts have remained young and whose
courage is still vigorous, but not those who consider it their duty to maintain
Against us we have the innumerable army of all those who are lazy-minded and
indifferent rather than evil, and those whose self-interest leads
them to uphold the present state of affairs.
arent hopelessness of our great struggle lie the magnitude of
our task and the possibilities of success. A battle-cry, which from the very start
will scare off all the petty spirits, or at least discourage them, will become a
rallying signal for all those that are of the real fighting mettle.</p>
<p>Moreover, it must be clearly recognised that if a highly energetic and active body of men
emerges from a nation and unites in the fight for one goal, thereby ultimately
the inert masses of the people, this small percentage will become
masters of the whole.
World history is made by minorities, if these numerical minorities
possess in themselves the will, energy and initiative of the majority.
What seems an obstacle to many persons is really a preliminary
condition of our victory. Just because our task is so great and because so many
difficulties have to be overcome, the probability is that only the best kind of
protagonist will join our ranks.
This selection is the guarantee of ouM
r success. Nature generally takes
certain measures to correct the effect which racial inter-breeding produces.
She is not much in favour of the mongrel. The earlier products of inter-breeding have to suffer
bitterly, especially the third, fourth and fifth generations.
Not only are they deprived of the higher qualities that belonged to the
parents who participated in the first crossing, but they also lack definite will-power and
vigorous vital energies, owing to the lack of harmony in the quality of their blood.
t all critical moments in which a person of pure racial blood makes
correct decisions, that is to say, decisions that are coherent and uniform, the
person of mixed blood will become confused and take half-measures.
Hence we see that a person of mixed blood is not only relatively inferior
to a person of pure blood, but is also doomed to become extinct more rapidly.
In innumerable cases where the pure race holds its ground, the mongrel
breaks down. Therein we see the corrective measures adopted by Nature; she
ts the possibilities of procreation, thus impeding the fertility of cross-breeds and dooming them to extinction.
For instance, if an individual member of a race should mingle his blood
with the member of a superior race, the first result would be a lowering of the
racial level, and furthermore, the issue of this mixed marriage would be
weaker than those of the people around them who had maintained their blood unadulterated.</p>
<p>Where no new blood from the superior race enterM
s the racial stream of
the mongrels, and where these mongrels continue to cross-breed among
themselves, the latter will either die out because they have insufficient powers
of resistance, which is Nature
s wise provision, or in the course of many
thousands of years they will form a new mongrel race in which the original
elements will become so wholly mixed through this millennial crossing that
traces of the original elements will be no longer recognizable.
In this way, a new people would be evolved possessing a cM
resistance capacity of the herd type; but its, intellectual value and its cultural
significance would be essentially inferior to those of the superior race
participating in the original inter-breeding.
But even in this last case, the mongrel product would succumb in the
mutual struggle for existence with a higher racial group that had maintained its
The herd solidarity which this mongrel race had developed in the course
of thousands of years would not be equal to the struggle, and this is becaM
would lack elasticity and constructive capacity to prevail over a race of
homogeneous blood that was mentally and culturally superior.
Hence, we may lay down the following principle as well-founded. Every
racial mixture leads of necessity sooner or later to the downfall of the mongrel
product, as long as a section of the superior race participating in the cross-breeding
remains intact and preserves some sort of racial homogeneity.
The threat to the mongrels ceases only with the bastardization of the last
mbers of the superior race who are of unmixed blood.
This principle is the source of a slow but constant regeneration whereby
all the poison which has invaded the racial body is gradually eliminated as
long as there remains a fundamental stock of pure racial elements and there is
no further inter-breeding.
Such a process may set in automatically among those people where a
strong racial instinct has remained. Among such people we may count those
elements which, for some particular cause such as coercion, have been tM
out of the normal way of reproduction along strict racial lines.
As soon as this compulsion ceases, that part of the race which has
remained intact will tend to marry with its own kind and thus impede further intermingling.</p>
<p>Then the mongrels recede quite naturally into the background unless their
numbers have increased so much as to be able to withstand all serious
resistance from those elements which have preserved the purity of their race.
When men have lost theiM
r natural instincts and ignore the obligations
imposed on them by Nature, then there is no hope that Nature will repair the
damage that has been caused, until recognition of their own obligations has
replaced their lost instincts.
Then the task of making good what has been lost will have to be
accomplished by Nature. But there is a serious danger that those who have
once become blind in this respect will continue more aid more to break down
racial barriers and finally lose the last remnants of what is best in them.M
What then remains is nothing but a uniform pulpy mass, which seems to
be the dream of our fine Utopians, but that pulpy mass would soon banish all
ideals from the world. Certainly a great herd could thus be formed.
One can breed a herd of animals, but from a mixture of this kind, men
such as have created and founded civilisations would not be produced. The
mission of humanity might then be considered at an end.
Those who do not wish that the earth should fall into such a condition
must realise that it is the task M
of the Germanic States in particular to see to it
that the process of bastardization is brought to a stop.
Our contemporary generation of weaklings will naturally decry such a
policy and whine and complain about it as an encroachment on the most sacred
But there is only one right that is sacrosanct and that right is at the same
time a most sacred duty, namely, to protect racial purity so that the best types of
human beings may be preserved and thus render possible a more noble
development of humaniM
lkisch State ought, in the first place, to raise matrimony above the
level of continual racial adulteration. The State should consecrate it as an
institution for the procreation of creatures made in the likeness of God Himself
and not of monsters that are a mixture of man and ape.</p>
<p>The protest which is put forward in the name of humanity does not befit
the mouth of a generation that makes it possible for the most depraved
degenerates to propagate their kinM
d, thereby imposing unspeakable suffering on
their own products and on their contemporaries, while, on the other hand,
contraceptives, are permitted and sold in every drug store and even by street
hawkers, so that babies should not be born to the healthiest of our people.
In this present State of ours, whose function it is to be the guardian of
law and order, our national bourgeoisie looks upon it as a crime to make
procreation impossible for syphilitics and those who suffer from tuberculosis
or hereditary diseasesM
, and also for cripples and imbeciles.
But the practical prevention of procreation among millions of our very
best people is not considered an evil, nor does it offend against the moral code
of this hypocritical class, but rather suits their short-sightedness and mental
lethargy, for otherwise they would have to rack their brains to find an answer
to the question of how to create conditions for the feeding and maintaining of
those yet unborn beings who will be the healthy representatives of our nation
their turn, have to perform the same task for the generation that is
How devoid of ideals and how ignoble is the whole contemporary
system! No effort is being made to perfect the breed for the future, but things
are simply allowed to slide.
The fact that the churches join in condoning this sin against the image of
God, even though they continue to emphasise the dignity of that image, is quite
in keeping with their present activities.
They talk about the Spirit, but they allow man, as the embodiment M
Spirit, to degenerate to the proletarian level. Then they gape with amazement
when they realise how small is the influence of the Christian Faith in their own
country and how depraved and ungodly is this riff-raff which is physically
degenerate and therefore morally degenerate also. To balance this state of
affairs they try to convert the Hottentots, the Zulus and the Kaffirs and to
bestow on them the blessings of the Church.
While our European people, God be praised and thanked, are left to
ms of moral depravity, the pious missionary goes out to
Central Africa and establishes mission-stations for Negroes.
Finally, sound and healthy though primitive and backward people will be
transformed, in the name of our
higher civilisation,
into a motley of lazy and brutalized mongrels.</p>
<p>It would better accord with noble human aspirations if our two Christian
denominations would cease to bother the Negroes with their preaching, which
the Negroes do not want and do M
It would be better if they left this work alone and if, in its stead, they
tried to teach people in Europe, kindly and seriously, that it is much more
pleasing to God if a couple that is not of healthy stock were to show lovingkindness
to some poor orphan and become a father and mother to him, rather
than give life to a sickly child that will be a cause of suffering and unhappiness
lkisch State will have to repair the damage that has
been caused by the fact that the proM
blem is at present neglected by all the
various parties concerned.
It will be the task of the v
lkisch State to make the race the nucleus of the
life of the community. It must make sure that the purity of the racial strain will
It must proclaim the truth that the child is the most valuable possession a
It must see to it that only those who are healthy beget children; that there
is only one infamy, namely, for parents that are ill or show hereditary defects to
bring children into the M
world and that in such cases it is a matter of honour to
refrain from doing so.
But, on the other hand, it must be considered as reprehensible to refrain
from giving healthy children to the nation.
In this matter, the State must assert itself as the trustee of a millennial
future, in the face of which the egotistic desires of the individual count for
nothing and will have to give way before the ruling of the State.
In order to fulfil this duty in a practical manner the State will have to
avail itself of modem medicM
al discoveries. It must proclaim as unfit for
procreation all those who are afflicted with some identifiable hereditary
disease or are the carriers of it, and practical measures must be adopted to
have such people rendered sterile.</p>
<p>On the other hand, provision must be made for the normally fertile
woman so that she will not be restricted in child-bearing through the financial
and economic conditions obtaining under a regime which makes the having of
children a curse to pM
The State will have to abolish the cowardly and even criminal
indifference with which the problem of social amenities for large families is
treated, and it will have to be the supreme protector of this greatest blessing of
which a people can boast.
Its attention and care must be directed towards the child rather than the adult.
Those who are physically or mentally unhealthy and unfit must not
perpetuate their own suffering in the bodies of their children.
From the educational point of view there is here a hM
lkisch State to accomplish, but in a future era this work will appear greater
and more significant than the victorious wars of our present bourgeois epoch.
Through education the State must teach individuals that illness is not a
disgrace, but an unfortunate accident which is to be pitied, yet that it is a crime
and a disgrace to make this affliction worse by passing on disease and defects
to innocent creatures, out of mere egotism.
The State must also teach the people that it is an expression ofM
noble nature and that it is a humanitarian act worthy of admiration if a person
who innocently suffers from hereditary disease refrains from having a child of
his own, but gives his love and affection to some unknown child who, through
its health, promises to become a healthy member of a healthy community.
In accomplishing such an educational task the State integrates its
practical function by this activity in the moral sphere. It must act on this
principle without paying any attention to the question of M
will be understood or misconstrued, blamed or praised.
If, throughout a period of not more than six hundred years, all physically
degenerate or mentally defective persons were sterilized, humanity would not
only be delivered from an immense misfortune, but also restored to a state of
general health such as we at present can hardly imagine.</p>
<p>If the fecundity of the healthy portion of the nation were encouraged in a
conscientious and methodical way, we sM
hould have at least the beginnings of a
race from which all those germs would be eliminated which are to-day the
cause of our moral and physical decadence,
If a people and a State take this course to develop that nucleus of the
nation which is most valuable from the racial standpoint and thus increase its
fecundity, the people as a whole will subsequently enjoy the blessings which
go with pure breeding.
To achieve this, the State should first of all not leave the colonisation of
newly acquired territory to a haphazM
ard policy, but should have it carried out
in accordance with definite principles.
Specially competent committees ought to issue certificates to individuals
entitling them to engage in colonisation work, and these certificates should
guarantee the racial purity of the individuals in question.
In this way frontier colonies could gradually be founded whose
inhabitants would be of the purest racial stock, and hence would possess the
best qualities of the race.
Such colonies would be a valuable asset to the whole natioM
development would be a source of joy, confidence and pride to each citizen of
the nation, because they would contain the nucleus which would ultimately
bring about a great development of the nation and indeed of mankind itself.
The <i>Weltanschauung</i> which bases the State on the racial idea must
finally succeed in bringing about a nobler era, in which men will no longer pay
exclusive attention to breeding and rearing pedigree dogs, horses and cats, but
will endeavour to improve the breed of the human raM
That will be an era of self-restraint and renunciation for one class of
people, while the others will give their gifts and make their sacrifices joyfully.
That such a mentality may be possible cannot be denied in a world
where hundreds and thousands accept the principle of celibacy of their own
free will, without being obliged or pledged to do so by anything except an
ecclesiastical precept.
Why should it not be possible to induce people to make this sacrifice if,
instead of such a precept, they were simM
ply told that they ought to put an end to
the original sin of racial corruption which is steadily being committed from
one generation to another.</p>
<p>Further, they ought to be made to realise that it is
their bounden duty to give to the Almighty Creator beings such as He Himself
made in His own image.
Naturally, our wretched army of contemporary Philistines will not
understand these things. They will ridicule them or shrug their round shoulders
and groan out their everlastinM
Of course, it is a fine thing, but the
pity is that it cannot be carried out.
With you indeed it cannot be done, for your world is
incapable of such an idea. You know only one anxiety and that is for your own
personal existence. You have but one God, and that is your money.
We do not turn to you, however, for help, but to the great army of those
who are too poor to consider their personal existence as the highest good on
earth. They do not place their trust in money, but in otheM
hands they confide their lives.
Above all we turn to the vast army of our German youth. They are
coming to maturity in a great epoch, and they will fight against the evils which
were the outcome of the laziness and indifference of their fathers.
Either the German youth will one day create a new State founded on the
racial idea or they will be the last witnesses of the complete breakdown and
death of the bourgeois world. If a generation suffers from defects which it
recognises and even admitM
s and is nevertheless quite pleased with itself, as the
bourgeois world is to-day, resorting to the cheap excuse that nothing can be
done to remedy the situation, then such a generation is doomed to disaster.
A marked characteristic of our bourgeois world is that it can no longer
deny the evil conditions that exist. It has to admit that there is much which is
foul and wrong; but it is unable to make up its mind to fight against that evil,
which would mean putting forth the energy to mobilise the forces of sixty or
seventy million people and thus oppose the menace.
The bourgeois classes do just the opposite. When such an effort is made
elsewhere they only indulge in silly comment and try from a safe distance to
show that such an enterprise is theoretically impossible and doomed to failure.
No arguments are too stupid to be employed in defence of their own
pettifogging opinions and their moral attitude.</p>
<p>If, for instance, a whole
continent wages war against alcoholic poisoning, so asM
to free an entire people
from this devastating vice, the only reaction of our European bourgeois is to
gape, shake his head and ridicule the movement with a superior sneer
of mind which is particularly effective in a society that is so ridiculous.
But if all this proves of no avail and in some corner of the world the
time-honoured, inviolable routine is attacked, and attacked to some effect, then
as has been said, at least the effect must be belittled, even if bourgeois moral
principles have to be invokeM
d against a movement, the object of which is to
suppress a great moral evil.
We must not permit ourselves any illusions on this point. The
contemporary bourgeois world has become unfit to perform any such noble
task for the sake of humanity, simply because it is of inferior quality and at the
same time evil, not so much because it is bent on evil, but because of
an all-pervading indolence and its consequences.
That is why those political societies which call themselves bourgeois
parties are nothing but associationM
s to promote the interests of certain
professional groups and classes: Their highest aim is to defend their own
egotistic interests as best they can.
It is obvious that such a guild, consisting of bourgeois politicians, may
be considered fit for anything rather than a struggle, especially when the
adversaries are not cautious shopkeepers but the proletarian masses, goaded to
extremity and out to win at any cost.
If we consider it the first duty of the State to serve and promote the
general welfare of the people, byM
preserving and encouraging the development
of the best racial elements, the logical consequence is that this task cannot be
limited to measures concerning the birth of the infant members of the race and
nation, but that the State will also have to adopt educational means for making
each citizen a worthy factor in the further propagation of the race.
Just as, in general, racial quality is the preliminary condition for the
mental efficiency of any given human material, the training, of the individual
ll have to be directed towards the development of sound bodily
health, for the general rule is that a strong and healthy mind is found only in a
strong and healthy body.
The fact that men of genius are sometimes not robust in health and
stature, and are even of a sickly constitution, is no proof of the falsity of the
principle I have enunciated.</p>
<p>These cases are only exceptions which, as everywhere else, prove the
rule. But when the bulk of a nation is composed of physicaM
rare for a great man to arise from such a miserable motley, and in any case his
activities would never meet with great success.
A degenerate mob will either be incapable of understanding him at all or
their will-power will be so feeble that they cannot follow the soaring flight of
The State that is grounded on the racial principle and is alive to the
significance of this truth will first of all have to base its educational work not
on the mere imparting of knowledge, but rather onM
physical training and the
development of healthy bodies.
The cultivation of the intellectual faculties occupies only second place,
and here again it is character which has to be developed first of all, namely,
strength of will and the ability to make decisions.
The educational system ought to foster a spirit of readiness to accept
responsibilities gladly. Formal instruction in the sciences must be considered
Accordingly, the State which is grounded on the racial idea must start
le that a person whose formal education in the sciences is
relatively small, but who is physically sound and robust, of a steadfast and
honest character, ready and able to make decisions and endowed with strength
of will, is a more useful member of the national community than a weakling
who is scholarly and refined.
A nation composed of learned men who are physically degenerate, or
weak-willed and timid pacifists, is not capable of ensuring even its own
existence on this earth.
In the bitter struggle which decides M
the destiny of man, it is very rare that
an individual has succumbed because he lacked learning. Those who fail are
they who try to ignore these consequences and are too faint-hearted to put them
There must be a certain balance between mind and body. A degenerate
body is not more beautiful because it houses a radiant spirit.</p>
<p>We should not be acting justly if we were to bestow the highest
intellectual training on those who are physically deformed and crippledM
lack decision and are weak-willed and cowardly.
What has made the Greek ideal of beauty immortal is the wonderful
union of splendid physical beauty with nobility of mind and spirit.
s saying, that, in the long run, fortune favours only the efficient,
certainly holds good for the relationship between body and spirit.
A mind which is sound generally dwells in a body that is sound.
Accordingly, in the v
lkisch State physical training is not a matter for the
individual alone, nor is it a duty which firsM
t devolves on the parents and is only
secondarily a matter of public interest.
It is necessary for the preservation of the people, who are represented
and protected by the State.
As regards purely formal education the State even now interferes with
s right of self-determination and insists upon the right of the
community by subjecting the child to an obligatory system of training, without
regard to the views of the parents.
In a similar way and to a higher degree the new v
lkisch State will one
y make its authority prevail, over the ignorance and incomprehension of
individuals in problems appertaining to the safety of the nation.
It must organise its educational work in such a way that the bodies of the
young will lie systematically trained from infancy onwards, so as to be
tempered and hardened for the demands to be made on them in later years.
Above all, the State must see to it that a generation of book-worms is not developed.
The work of education and hygiene has to begin with the young mother.
aking efforts carried on for several decades have succeeded in
abolishing septic infection in childbirth and in reducing puerperal fever to a
relatively small number of cases.
It ought to be possible to give nurses and mothers a thorough course of
instruction and to institute a system of training the child from early infancy
onwards which may serve as an excellent basis for its future development.</p>
lkisch State ought to allow much more time for physical training
It is nonsense to burden young brains with a load of material of which, as
experience shows, they retain only a small part, and mostly not the essentials,
but only what is of secondary importance, because the young mind is incapable
of sifting the right kind of learning from among all that is crammed into it.
To-day, even in the curriculum of the high schools, only two short hours
in the week are reserved for gymnastics; and, worse still, it is left to the pupils
to decide whether or not they want to takeM
This shows a grave disproportion between this branch of education and
purely intellectual instruction. Not a single day should be allowed to pass on
which the young pupil does not have one hour of physical training in the
morning and one in the evening, and every sort of sport and gymnastics should
There is one kind of sport which should be especially encouraged,
although many people who call themselves v
lkisch consider it brutal and
vulgar, namely, boxing. It is incredible how many false notiM
The fact that the young man learns, how to fence and then spends his time
in duelling is considered quite natural and respectable. But boxing
brutal! Why? There is no other sport which equals this in developing the
militant spirit, none that demands such a power of rapid decision or gives the
body the flexibility of fine steel.
It is no more vulgar for two young people to settle their differences with
their fists rather than with sharp-pointed pieces of steel.M
One who is attacked and defends himself with his fists surely does not
act in less manly a fashion than one who runs off and yells for the assistance of
But, above all, a healthy youth has to learn to endure hard knocks. This
principle may appear savage to our contemporary champions who fight only
with the weapons of the intellect, but it is not the purpose of the v
to raise a colony of aesthetic pacifists and physical degenerates.</p>
does not consider that the human ideal is to be found in the
honourable Philistine or the maidenly spinster, but in a bold prototype of manly
virtues and in women capable of bringing men into the world.
Generally speaking, the function of sport is not only to make the
individual strong, alert and daring, but also to harden the body and train it to
endure adverse conditions.
If our intellectual upper classes had not been trained exclusively in the
art of gentlemanly behaviour and if, on the contrary, they had learneM
would never have been possible for bullies, deserters and other such canaille
to carry through a German revolution. For the success of this revolution was
not due to the courageous, energetic and audacious activities of its authors, but
to the lamentable cowardice and irresolution of those who ruled the German
State at that time and were responsible for it.
Our educated leaders had received only an
therefore found themselves defenceless when their adversaries used crow-bM
instead of intellectual weapons.
All this could happen only because our superior scholastic system did
not train men to be real men, but merely to be civil servants, engineers,
technicians, chemists, litterateurs, jurists and, finally, professors, lest
intellectualism die out. Our leaders in the purely intellectual sphere have
always been brilliant, but when it came to taking resolute action in practical
affairs our leaders have been beneath criticism.
Of course, education cannot make a courageous man out of onM
temperamentally a coward, but a man who naturally possesses a certain degree
of courage will not be able to develop that quality if his defective education
has made him inferior to others from the very start as regards physical strength
The Army offers the best example of the fact that the knowledge of his
physical ability develops a man
s courage and militant spirit. Outstanding
heroes were not the rule in the Army, but men of average courage.
The excellent schooling which the German soldieM
r received before the
War imbued the members of the whole gigantic organism with a degree of
confidence in their own superiority such as even our opponents never thought possible.</p>
<p>All the immortal examples of dauntless courage and daring which the
German armies gave during the late summer and autumn of 1914, as they
advanced from triumph to triumph, were the result of that training which had
been pursued systematically.
During the long years of peace before the last war M
physical weaklings were made capable of incredible deeds, and thus a self-confidence
was developed which did not fail them even in the most terrible
battles. It is our German people, which is now in a state of collapse and
helpless to defend itself against the kicks dealt it by the rest of the world, that
has need of the power that is the outcome of self-confidence.
But this confidence in oneself must be instilled into our children from
their very early years. The whole system of education and M
directed towards fostering in the child the conviction that he is unquestionably
a match for anybody and everybody.
The individual has to regain his own physical strength and prowess in
order to believe in the invincibility of the nation to which he belongs.
What has formerly led the German armies to victory was the sum total of
the confidence which each individual had in himself, and which all of them had
What will restore the national strength of the German people is the
ion that they will be able to regain their liberty, but this conviction can
only be the final product of this same feeling in millions of individuals.
And here again we must have no illusions. The collapse of our people
was overwhelming, and the efforts who put an end to so much misery must be
superhuman. It would be a bitter and grave error to believe that our people
could be made strong again simply by means of our present bourgeois training
in good order and obedience.
That will not suffice if we are to break upM
the present order of things,
which now sanctions the acknowledgment of our defeat, and cast the broken
chains of our slavery in the faces of our opponents.
Only by a superabundance of national energy and a passionate this it for
liberty can we recover what has been lost.
Again, the manner of clothing the young should be such as harmonises
with this purpose.</p>
<p>It is really lamentable to see how our young people have
fallen victims to a fashion mania which perverts the meanM
ing of the old adage
that clothes make the man.
Especially in regard to young people, clothes should have their place in
educational training. The boy who walks about in summer-time wearing long
baggy trousers and clad up to the neck is hampered by his clothes from feeling
any inclination towards strenuous physical exercise.
Ambition and, to speak quite frankly, even vanity must be appealed to. I
do not mean such vanity as leads people to want to wear fine clothes, which
not everybody can afford, but rather the vanM
ity which makes a person want to
develop a fine physique which everybody can try to do.
This is also of value in later years. The young girl must get to know her
mate. If the beauty of the body were not completely forced into the background
to-day through our stupid manner of dressing, it would not be possible for
thousands of our girls to be led astray by Jewish mongrels, with their repulsive
It is also in the interests of the nation that those of beautiful physique
should mate in order that they mM
ay play their part in providing the nation with
Since we have at present no form of military training and since,
consequently, the only institution which, in peace-time at least, partly made up
for the lack of physical training in our education is now lacking, what I have
suggested is all the more necessary in our time.
The success of our old military training not only showed itself in the
education of the individual, but also in the influence which it exercised over
the mutual relationship between thM
e sexes. The young girl preferred the soldier
to one who was not a soldier.
lkisch State must not confine its control of physical training to the
official school period, but must demand that, after leaving school, and while
his adolescent body is still developing, the boy continues this training, for on
such proper physical development, success in after-life largely depends.
It is stupid to think that the right of the State to supervise the education of
its young citizens suddenly comes to an end the moment M
they leave school and
recommences only with military service.</p>
<p>This right is a duty, and as such it must continue uninterruptedly. The
present State, which does not interest itself in developing healthy men, has
criminally neglected its duty. It leaves our contemporary youth to be, corrupted
on the streets and in the brothels, instead of keeping hold of the reins and
continuing the physical training of these young people up to the time when they
are grown into healthy youM
For the present, it is a matter of indifference what form the State chooses
for carrying on this training. The essential thing is that it should be developed
and that the most suitable ways of doing so should be investigated.
lkisch State will have to consider the physical training of the
youth after the school period just as much a public duty as his intellectual
training, and this training will have to be carried out through public institutions.
On general lines it can be a preparation foM
r subsequent service in the
Army, and then it will no longer be the task of the Army to teach the young
recruit the most elementary drill regulations.
In fact, the Army will no longer have to deal with recruits in the present
sense of the word, but will rather have to transform into a soldier the youth
whose bodily prowess has already been fully developed.
lkisch State the Army will no longer be obliged to teach boys
how to walk and stand erect, but it will be the final and supreme school of
In the Army the young recruit will learn the art of bearing arms and .at
the same time he will be equipped for his other duties in later life.
The supreme aim of military education must always be to achieve that
which was attributed to the old Army as its highest merit, namely, that through
his military schooling the boy must be transformed into a man, that he must not
only learn to obey, but also acquire the fundamentals that will enable him one
day to command. He must learn to remain silent, not only whenM
rebuked, but also when he is unjustly rebuked.
Furthermore, in the consciousness of his own strength and on the basis of
that <i>esprit de corps</i> which inspires him and his comrades, he must become
convinced that he belongs to a nation which is invincible.</p>
<p>After he has completed his military training two certificates shall be
handed to the soldier. The one will be his diploma as a citizen of the State, a
juridical document which will enable him to take pM
art in public affairs.
The second will be an attestation of his physical health, which
guarantees his fitness for marriage.
lkisch State will have to direct the education of girls just as that
of boys and according to the same fundamental principles.
Here again, special importance must be assigned to physical training,
and only after that must the importance of spiritual and mental training be taken
In the education of the girl the final goal always to be kept in mind is that
In the second place, the v
lkisch State must busy itself with the all-round
training of character.
Of course, the essential traits of the individual character are already
there before any education takes place.
A person who is fundamentally egotistic will always remain
fundamentally egotistic, and the idealist will always remain fundamentally an idealist.
Besides those, however, who already possess a definite stamp of
character there are millions of people with characters that are indefinite and vagueM
The born delinquent will always remain a delinquent, but numerous
people who show only a certain tendency to commit criminal acts may become
useful members of the community if rightly trained; whereas, on the other hand,
weak and unstable characters may easily become evil elements if the system of
During the War it was often lamented that our people could be so little
reticent. This failing made it very difficult to keep even highly important
secrets from the knowledge of the enemy.
ut the question: What did the German educational system do
in pre-war times to teach Germans to be discreet?</p>
<p>Did it not very often happen in school-days that the little tell-tale was
preferred to his companions who kept their mouths shut?
Is it not true that then, as well as now, complaining about others was
considered praiseworthy
while silent discretion was taken as obstinacy?
Has any attempt ever been made to teach the young that discretion is a
s and manly virtue? No, for such matters are trifles in the eyes of our
education authorities.
But these trifles cost our State innumerable millions in legal expenses,
for ninety per cent of all the processes for defamation and similar charges arise
only from a lack of discretion.
Remarks that are made without any sense of responsibility are
thoughtlessly repeated from mouth to mouth, and our economic welfare is
continually damaged because important methods of production are carelessly disclosed.
s for our national defence are rendered illusory
because our people have never learned the duty of silence. They repeat
everything they happen to hear. In time of war such talkative habits may even
cause the loss of battles and may therefore contribute essentially for the
unsuccessful outcome of a campaign.
Here, as in other matters, we may rest assured that adults cannot do what
they have not learnt to do in youth. A teacher must not try to discover the wild
tricks of the boys by encouraging the evil practice of tM
Young people form a sort of state among themselves and face adults with
a certain solidarity. That is quite natural. The ties which unite the ten-year-old
boys to one another are stronger and more natural than their relationship to adults.
A boy who tells on his comrades commits an act of treason and shows a
bent of character which is, to speak bluntly, similar to that of a man who
commit; high treason.
Such a boy must not be classed as
and so on, but rather
sirable traits of character.</p>
<p>It may be rather convenient for the
teacher to make use of such unworthy tendencies in order to help him in his
own work, but by such an attitude the germ of a moral habit is sown in young
hearts and may one day have fatal consequences.
It has happened more often than once that a young informer developed
This is only one example among many. The deliberate training of fine
and noble traits of character in our schools to-day iM
In the future much more emphasis will have to be laid on this side of our
educational work. Loyalty, self-sacrifice, and discretion are virtues which a
great nation must possess, and the teaching and development of these in the
schools is a more important matter than many other things now included in the curriculum.
To make the children give up habits of complaining, whining and
howling when they are hurt, etc., also belongs to this part of their training.
If the educational system fails to teachM
the child at an early age to endure
pain and injury without complaining we cannot be surprised, if at a later age,
when the boy has grown to manhood and is, for example, in the trenches, the
postal service is used for nothing but to send home letters full of grumbles and complaints.
If our youths, during their years in the primary schools, had had their
minds crammed with a little less knowledge and if, instead, they had been
better taught how to be masters of themselves, it would have served us well
In its educational system the v
lkisch State will have to attach the highest
importance to the development of character, hand-in-hand with physical training.
Many more defects which our rational organism betrays at present could
be ameliorated, if not completely eliminated, by education of the right kind.
Extreme importance should be attached to the training of will-power and
young people should be trained to make firm decisions and to accept responsibility.
In the training of our old Army the priM
nciple was in vogue that any order
is always better than no order.</p>
<p>Applied to our youth this principle ought to take
the form that any answer is better than no answer. The fear of replying, because
one fears to be wrong, ought to be considered more humiliating than giving
thee wrong reply. On this simple and primitive basis, our youth should be
trained to have the courage to act.
It has been often lamented that in November and December 1918 all the
authorities lost theirM
heads and that, from the monarch down to the last
divisional commander, nobody had sufficient mettle to make a decision on his
That terrible fact constitutes a grave charge against our educational
system, because what was revealed on a colossal scale in that moment of
catastrophe was only what happens on a smaller scale everywhere among us.
It is the lack of will-power, and not the lack of arms, which renders us
incapable of offering any serious resistance to-day.
This defect is found everywherM
e among our people and prevents
decisive action wherever risks have to be taken, as if any great action can be
taken without involving risk.
Quite unsuspectingly, a German general found a formula for this
lamentable lack of the will-to-act when he said,
I act only when I can count on
a fifty-one per cent chance of success.

we find the very key to the German
collapse. The man who demands from Fate a guarantee of his success

action, for this significance
consists in the very fact that, in the definite knowledge that the situation in

A patient suffering from cancer, who knows that his death is certain if he

chance of a cure before facing the operation, and if the operation promise only
a fraction of a one per cent probability of success; a man of courage would risk
who does not take the risk has no right to whine.
Taking all in all, cowardly lack of will-power and inability to form
resolutions are mainly the outcome of the fundamentally wrong training which
our young people receive.</p>
<p>The disastrous effects become evident in later life and reach their peak
in the lack of civilian courage which our leading statesmen display.
The cowardice which leads nowadays to the shirking of every kind of
responsibility springs from the same sourcM
e. Here again it is the fault of the
education given to our young people.
This drawback permeates all sections of public life and finds its
consummation in the institutions of government that function under the
parliamentary regime.
Even in the schools, unfortunately, more value is attached to
contrite abjuration,
on the part of little sinners than to
a simple and frank avowal. But this latter seems to-day, in the eyes of many a
teacher, to savour of a spirit of utter M
incorrigibility and depravity, and, though
it may seem incredible, many a boy is told that the gallows is waiting for him,
because he has shown certain traits which might be of inestimable value to the

no longer be subject to those defects that have contributed so disastrously to
bring about our present overthrow.

our educational system to-day, will be taken over by the v

he brains of young people must not be generally burdened
with subjects of which ninety-five per cent is useless to them and is therefore
The curriculum of the primary and central schools presents an odd
mixture at the present time. In many branches of study the subject matter to be
learned has become so enormous that only a very small fraction of it can be
remembered later on, and indeed only a very small fraction of this whole mass
of knowledge can be used.</p>
<p>On the other hand, what is learned is insufficient for anybody who
wishes to specialise in any certain branch for the purpose of earning his daily bread.
Take, for example, the average civil servant who has passed through the
Gymnasium or High School, and ask him, at the age of thirty or forty, how much
he has retained of the knowledge that was crammed into him with so much pains.
How much is retained of all that was stuffed into his brain? He will
Well, the sole purpose of all I swotted uM
not to provide me with a great stock of knowledge from which I could draw in
later years; but it served to develop the understanding, the memory, and above
all it helped to strengthen the thinking power of the brain.
That is partly true. And yet it is somewhat dangerous to submerge a
young brain in a flood of impressions, which it can hardly master and the
single elements of which it cannot discern or appreciate at their true value.
It is mostly the essential part of this knowledge, and not tM
that is forgotten and sacrificed.
Thus the principal purpose of this copious instruction is frustrated, for
that purpose cannot be to make the brain capable of learning by simply offering
it an enormous and varied amount of subjects for acquisition, but rather to
furnish the individual with that stock of knowledge, which he will need in later
life and which he can use for the good of the community.
This aim, however, is rendered illusory if, because of the
superabundance of subjects that have been crM
ammed into his head in childhood,
a person is able to remember nothing, or at least not the essential portion, of all
There is no reason why millions of people should learn two or three
languages during their school years, when only a very small fraction will have
the opportunity to use these languages in later life and when most of them will
therefore forget these languages completely.
To take one instance, out of one hundred thousand students who learn
French there are probably not two thousanM
d who will be in a position to make
use of this accomplishment in later life, while ninety-eight thousand will never
have a chance to utilise in practice what they have learned in youth.</p>
<p>They have spent thousands of hours on a subject which will afterwards
be of no value or importance to them.
The argument that these, subjects form part of a general education is
invalid. It would be sound if all these people were able to use this learning in
after-life. But, as matters sM
tand, ninety-eight thousand are tortured to no
purpose and waste valuable time, for the sake of the two thousand to whom the
language will be of any use.
In the case of that language which I have chosen as an example it cannot
be said that the learning of it educates the student in logical thinking or
sharpens his mental acumen, as the learning of Latin, for instance, might be
It would, therefore, be much better to teach young students only the
general outline or, better, the inner structure of such a lM
anguage, that is to say, to
allow them to discern the characteristic features of the language, or perhaps to
make them acquainted with the rudiments of its grammar, its pronunciation, its

a clearer view of the whole and could be more easily remembered and would
be more practical than the present-day attempt to cram into their heads detailed
knowledge of the whole language, which they can never master and which they
If this method were adopted, then we should avoid the danger that, out of
the superabundance of matter taught, only some fragments will remain in the
memory, for the children would then have to learn what is worth while, and the
selection between the useful and the useless would thus have been made beforehand.
As regards the majority of students, the knowledge and understanding of
the rudiments of a language would be quite sufficient for the rest of their lives,
and those who really do need this languagM

foundation on which to build, should they, choose to make a more thorough
<p>By adopting such a curriculum the necessary amount of time would be
gained for physical exercises, as well as for a more intense training in the
various educational fields that have already been mentioned.
A reform of particular importance is that which ought to take place in the
present methods of teaching history. Scarcely any other people is made to M
as much history as the Germans, and scarcely any other people makes such bad
use of its historical knowledge.
If politics are history in the making, then our way of teaching history
stands condemned by the way we have conducted our politics.
But, there would be no point in bewailing the lamentable results of our
political conduct, unless we are now determined to give our people a better
political education.
In ninety-nine out of one hundred cases the results of our present teaching
of history are deplorable. M
Usually only a few dates, years of birth and names,
remain in the memory, while a knowledge of the main and clearly defined lines
of historical development is completely lacking.
The essential features which are of real significance are not taught. It is
left to the more or less bright intelligence of the individual to discover the
inner motivating urge amid the mass of dates and chronological succession of events.
You may object as strongly as you like to this unpleasant statement, but
read with attention the speeM
ches which our parliamentarians make during one
single session on the problems connected with, let us say, foreign policy.
Remember that these gentlemen are, or claim to be, the elite of the
German nation and that at least a great number of them have sat on the benches
of our secondary schools and that many of them have passed through our universities.
Then you will realise how defective the historical education of these
men has been. If these gentlemen had never studied history at all, but had
possessed a sound inM
stinct for public affairs, things would have gone better,
and the nation would have benefited greatly thereby.
The subject matter of our history teaching must be curtailed. The chief
value of that teaching is to make the principal lines of historical development understood.</p>
<p>The more our historical teaching is limited to this task, the more
we may hope that it will turn out subsequently to be of advantage to the
individual and, through the individual, to the community as M
a whole, for history
must not be studied merely with a view to knowing what happened in the past,
but as a guide for the future, and to teach us what policy would be the best to
follow for the preservation of our own people.
That is the real end, and the teaching of history is only a means to attain
this end. But here again the means has superseded the end in our contemporary
education. The goal is completely forgotten.
Do not retort that a profound study of history demands a detailed
knowledge of all these dates bM
ecause otherwise we could not fix the great lines
That task falls to the professional historians, but the average man is not a
professor of history. For him history has only one mission, and that is to
provide him with that amount of historical knowledge which is necessary in
order to enable him to form an independent opinion on the political affairs of
The man who wants to become a professor of history can devote himself
to all the details later on. Naturally he will have to occupyM
the smallest details.
Of course our present teaching of history is not adequate to all this, Its
scope is too vast for the average student and too limited for the student who
wishes to be a historical expert.
Finally, it is the business of the v
lkisch State to arrange for the writing
of a world history in which the racial problem will occupy a dominant position.
lkisch State must reconstruct our system of general
instruction in such a way that it will embrace only what is esseM
Beyond this it will have to make provision for more advanced teaching
in the various subjects for those who want to specialise in them.
It will suffice for the average individual to be acquainted with the
fundamentals of the various subjects to serve as the basis of what may be
called an all-round education.</p>
<p>He ought to study exhaustively and in detail only that subject in which he
intends to work during the rest of his life. General instruction in all subjects
ould be obligatory, and specialisation should be left to the choice of the individual.
In this way the scholastic programme would be shortened, and thus
several school hours would be gained which could be utilised for physical
exercise and character training in will-power, the capacity for making
practical judgments, decisions, etc.
The little account taken by our school training to-day, especially in the
central schools, of the callings that have to be followed in after-life is
demonstrated by the fact that men whM
o are destined for the same calling in life
are educated in three different kinds of schools.
What is of decisive importance is general education and not specialised
teaching. When special knowledge is needed it cannot be given in the
curriculum of our central schools as they are to-day. The v
therefore, one day have to abolish such half-measures.
The second modification in the curriculum which the v
have to make is the following: It is a characteristic of our materialistic epM
that our scientific education shows a growing emphasis on what is real and
practical, on such subjects as, for instance, applied mathematics, physics,
Of course, they are necessary in an age that is dominated by industrial
technology and chemistry, and of which they are, externally at least, a most
significant factor of everyday life, but it is dangerous to base the general
education of the nation on a knowledge of, these subjects to the exclusion of all others.
General education should, on the M
contrary, be on cultural lines. It ought to
be founded more on classical studies and should aim at providing only the
groundwork for specialised instruction later on in the various practical sciences.
Otherwise we should sacrifice those forces that are more important for
the preservation of the nation than any technical knowledge.
In the history department the study of ancient history should not be omitted.</p>
<p>Roman history, along general lines, is, and will remain, the besM
teacher, not only for our own time, but also for the future, and the ideal of
Hellenic culture should be preserved for us in all its marvellous beauty.
The differences between the various peoples should not prevent us from
recognising the community of race which unites them, on a higher plane.
The conflict of our time is one that is being waged around great
objectives. A civilisation is fighting for its existence. It is a civilisation that is
the product of thousands of years of historical development, and the GrM
well as the German forms part of it.
A clear-cut division must be made between general education and
specialised subjects. To-day the latter threaten more and more to become
debased in the service of Mammon.
To counterbalance this tendency, general culture should be preserved, at
least in its ideal forms. The principle should be repeatedly emphasised, that
industrial and technical progress, trade and commerce, can flourish only as
long as a folk-community inspired by ideals provides the requisite basis.
condition is not created by a spirit of materialistic egotism, but by a
spirit of self-denial and the joy of giving oneself in the service of others.
The system of education which obtains to-day sees its principal object in
cramming into young people that knowledge which wall help them to make
This principle is expressed in the following terms,

That phrase refers to his
ability to gain an honest livelihood.
training in the duties of good citizenship, which he
acquires merely incidentally, has very weak foundations. The State in itself
represents only a vessel, and therefore it is difficult to train people to look
upon this vessel as the ideal which they will have to serve and towards which
they must feel responsible.
A vessel can be too easily broker. But, as we have seen, people to-day
have no clear-cut concept of what the term State
implies. Therefore, there is
nothing but the usual stereotyped
<p>In the old Germany this mainly took the form of an adulation (which was
often rather stupid and usually boring) of petty potentates who were so
numerous that it became necessary to omit all mention of the really great men
whom Germany has produced.
The result was that the broad masses acquired a very inadequate
knowledge of German history. Here, too, the great lines of development were missing.
It is evident that by such methods no real national enthusiasm could beM
aroused. Our educational system proved incapable of selecting from the
general mass of our historical personages the names of a few personalities
which the German people could be proud to look upon as their own.
Thus the whole nation might have been united by the ties of a common
knowledge of this common heritage.
The really important figures in German history were not presented to the
present generation. The attention of the whole nation was not concentrated on
them for the purpose of awakening a common national M
From the various subjects that were taught, those who had charge of our
training seemed incapable of selecting what redounded most to the national
honour and of lifting that above the common objective level, in order to
inflame the national pride in the light of such brilliant examples.
At that time such a course would have been looked upon as rank
chauvinism, which did not then have a very pleasant savour.
Pettifogging dynastic patriotism was more acceptable and more easily
tolerated than the glowing fire M
of a supreme national pride. The former could
always be pressed into service, whereas the latter might one day become a
Monarchist patriotism terminated in associations of veterans, whereas
passionate national patriotism might have opened a road whose goal would
have been difficult to determine. This national passion is like a thoroughbred
which will not tolerate any sort of rider in the saddle.
No wonder that most people preferred to shirk such a danger. Nobody
seemed to think it possible that onM
e day a war might come which would put the
mettle of this kind of patriotism to the test, in artillery bombardments and
waves of attacks with poison gas.</p>
<p>But when it did come our lack of this patriotic passion was avenged in a
terrible way. None were very enthusiastic about dying for their imperial and
royal sovereigns, whilst on the other hand, the
was not recognised by
the greater number of the soldiers.
Since the Revolution has taken place in Germany and M
patriotism has become a thing of the past, the purpose of teaching history has
merely been to add to the stock of objective knowledge.
The present State has no use for patriotic enthusiasm, but it will never
obtain what it really desires, for it dynastic patriotism failed to produce a
supreme power of resistance at a time when the principle of nationalism
dominated, it will be still less possible to arouse republican enthusiasm.
There can be no doubt that the German people would not have stood on
ld of battle for four and a half years and fought to the battle slogan,
least of all those who created this grand institution.
In reality this Republic has been allowed to exist undisturbed only by
virtue of its readiness in assuring all and sundry of its willingness to pay
tribute and reparations to the foreigner and to put its signature to any kind of
territorial renunciation.
The rest of the world approves of it, just as a weakling is always more
pleasing to those who want to bend him to tM
heir own will than is a man of
mettle. But the fact that the enemy like this form of government is the worst
kind of condemnation.
They love the German Republic and tolerate its existence because no
better instrument could be found to help them to keep our people in slavery. It
is to this fact alone that this magnanimous institution owes its survival.
That is why it can dispense with, any real system of national education
and can feel satisfied when the heroes who belong to the Reich Banner
organisation shout theirM
hurrahs, but in reality these same heroes would
scamper away like rabbits if called upon to defend that banner with their blood.
lkisch State will have to fight for its existence. It will neither gain
nor secure this existence by signing documents like the Dawes Plan, but for its
existence and defence it will need precisely those things with which our
present system believes it can dispense.</p>
<p>The more worthy its form and its inner national character, the greater
ill be the envy and opposition of its adversaries. The best defence will not
be in the arms it possesses, but in its citizens.
It is not fortresses that will protect it, but the living wall of its men and
women, filled with an ardent love for their country and a passionate spirit of
national patriotism.
Therefore, the third point which will have to be considered in relation to
our educational system is the following: The v
lkisch State must realise that
the sciences may also be made a means of promoting a spirit oM
f pride in the nation.
Not only the history of the world, but the history of civilisation as a
whole, must be taught in the light of this principle. An inventor must appear
great not only as an inventor but also, and even more so, as a member of the nation.
The admiration aroused by the contemplation of a great achievement
must be, transformed into a feeling of pride and satisfaction that a man of one
own race has been chosen to accomplish it.
But out of the abundance of great names in German history the greateM
will have to be selected and presented to our younger generation in such a way
as to become solid pillars of strength to support the national spirit.
The subject matter ought to be systematically organised from the
standpoint of this principle, and the teaching should be so orientated that the
boy or girl, after leaving school, will not be a semi-pacifist, a democrat or
something else of that kind, but a whole-hearted German.
In order that this national feeling be sincere from the very beginning, and
pretence, the following fundamental and inflexible principle should
be impressed on the young brain while it is yet malleable: The man who loves
his nation can prove the sincerity of this sentiment only by being ready to make
sacrifices for the nation
There is no such thing as a national sentiment which is directed towards
personal interests, and there is no such thing as a nationalism that embraces
only certain classes.</p>
<p>Hurrahing proves nothing and does notM
confer the right to call oneself
national if behind that shout there is no sincere preoccupation for the
conservation of the nation
One can be proud of one
s people only if there is no class left of which
one need be ashamed. When one half of a nation is sunk in misery and worn cut
by hardship and distress, or even depraved or degenerate, that nation presents
such an unattractive picture that nobody can feel proud to belong to it.
It is only when a nation is sound in all its members, physically aM
morally, that the joy of belonging to it can grow and swell to that supreme
feeling which we call national pride.
But this pride, in its highest form, can be felt only by those who know the
greatness of their nation.
The spirit of nationalism and a feeling for social justice must be fused
into one sentiment in the hearts of the youth. Then a day will come when a
nation of citizens will arise which will be welded together through a common
love and a common pride that shall be invincible and indestructible for eveM
The dread of chauvinism, which is a symptom of our time, is a sign of its impotence.
Since our epoch not only lacks everything in the nature of exuberant
energy, but even finds such a manifestation disagreeable, Fate will never select
it for the accomplishment of any great deeds. For the greatest changes that have
taken place on this earth would have been inconceivable if they had not been
inspired by ardent and even hysterical passions, but only by the bourgeois
virtues of peacefulness and order.
ertain, namely, that our world is facing a great revolution.
The only question is whether the outcome will be propitious for the Aryan
portion of mankind or whether the everlasting Jew will profit by it.
By educating the younger generation along the right lines, the v
State will have to see to it that a generation of men will arise fit to play its part
in this supreme and final combat that will decide the destiny of the world.
That nation will conquer which is the first to take this road. The whole
tion of education and training which the v
lkisch State is to build up
must regard as its crowning task the work of instilling into the hearts and minds
of the youth entrusted to it the racial instinct and understanding of the racial idea.</p>
<p>No boy or girl must leave school without having attained a clear insight
into the meaning of racial purity and the importance of maintaining our racial
blood unadulterated.
Thus the first indispensable condition for the preservation oM
will have been established and the future cultural progress of our people
assured, for all physical and mental training would be in vain unless it benefits
an entity which is ready and determined to carry on its own existence and to
maintain its own characteristic qualities.
If it were otherwise, something would result which we Germans have
cause to regret already, without perhaps having hitherto recognised the extent
of the tragic calamity.
Even in future we should be doomed to remain mere manure for
vilisation, and that not in the banal sense of the contemporary bourgeois
mind, which sees in a lost fellow-member of our people only a lost citizen, but
in a sense which we should have to recognise in sorrow, namely, that our,
racial blood would be destined to disappear.
By continually mixing with other races we might lift them from their
former lower level of civilisation to a higher plane, but we ourselves should
descend for ever from the heights we had reached.
Finally, from the racial standpoint, this trainingM
culmination in military service. The term of military service is to be a final
stage in the educational training which the average German receives. While the
lkisch State attaches, the greatest importance to physical and mental training,
it has also to consider, as no less important, the task of selecting men for the
service of the state itself.
This important matter is passed over lightly at the present time.
Generally, the children of parents who are for the time being in higher
are, in their turn, considered worthy of a higher education.
Here talent plays a subordinate part, but talent can be estimated only
relatively. Though in general culture he may be inferior to the city child, a
peasant boy may be more talented than the son of a family that has occupied
high positions for many generations.</p>
<p>But the superior culture of the city child has in itself nothing to do with a
greater or lesser degree of talent, for this culture has its roots in the M
copious mass of impressions which arise from the more varied education and
the surroundings among which this child lives.
If the intelligent son of peasant parents were educated from childhood in
similar surroundings, his intellectual accomplishments would be quite otherwise.
In our day there is only one sphere where the circumstances in which a
person has been born mean less than his innate gifts. That is the sphere of art.
Here, where a person cannot just
but must have innate gifts that later onM
may undergo a more or less happy development (in the sense of a wise
development of what is already there), money and parental property are of no account.
This is definite proof that genius is not necessarily connected with the
higher social strata or with wealth. Not rarely the greatest artists come from
poor families, and many a boy from a country village has eventually become a
It does not say much for the mental acumen of our time that this truth is
not recognised and acted upon to the advanM
tage of our whole intellectual life.
The opinion is advanced that this principle, though undoubtedly valid in
the field of art, has not the same validity in regard to what are called the
It is true that a man can be trained to a certain amount of mechanical
dexterity, just as a poodle can be taught incredible tricks by a clever master,
but such training does not bring the animal to use his intelligence in order to
carry out those tricks.
The same holds good in regard to man. It is possible to teacM
irrespective of talent, to go through certain scientific exercises, but in such
cases the results are quite as automatic and mechanical as in the case of the animal.
It would even be possible to force a person of mediocre intelligence, by
means of an intensive course of intellectual drilling, to acquire more than the
average amount of knowledge; but that knowledge would remain sterile.</p>
<p>The result would be a man who might be a walking dictionary of
ho would fail miserably on every critical occasion in life and
at every juncture where vital decisions had to be taken.
Such people need to be drilled specially for every new and even most
insignificant task and will never be capable, of contributing in the least to the
general progress of mankind.
Knowledge that is merely drilled into people can at best qualify them to
fill government positions under our present regime.
It goes without saying that, among the sum total of individuals who make
up a nation, gifted peM
ople are always to be found in every sphere of life.
It is also quite natural that the value of knowledge will be the, greater the
more vitally the dead mass of learning is animated by the innate talent of the
individual who possesses it.
Creative work in this field can be done only through the marriage of
knowledge and talent.
One example will suffice to show how much our contemporary world is
at fault in this matter.
From time to time our illustrated papers publish, for the edification of
the German Philistine, tM
he news that in some quarter or other of the globe, and
for the first time in that locality, a Negro has become a lawyer, a teacher, a
pastor, or even a grand opera singer or something else of that kind.
While the bourgeois blockhead stares with amazed admiration at the
paragraph that tells him how marvellous are the achievements of our modern
educational technique, the more cunning Jew sees in this fact a new proof to be
utilised for the spreading of the theory with which he wants to infect the public,
t all men are equal.
It does not dawn on the murky bourgeois mind that the fact which is
published for him is a sin against reason itself, that it is an act of criminal
insanity to train a being who is only an anthropoid by birth until the pretence
can be made that he has been turned into a lawyer; while, on the other hand,
millions who belong to the most civilised races have to remain in positions
which are unworthy of their cultural level.</p>
<p>The bourgeois mind does not rM
ealise that it is a sin against the will of the
eternal Creator to allow hundreds of thousands of highly gifted people to
remain floundering in the swamp of proletarian misery, while Hottentots and
Zulus are drilled to fill positions in the intellectual professions.
For here we have the product only of a drilling technique, just as in the
case of the performing dog. If the same amount of care and effort were applied
among intelligent races, each individual would become a thousand times more
capable in such matters.M
This state of affairs would become intolerable if a day
should dawn when it is no longer a matter of exceptional cases, but the
situation is already intolerable where talent and natural gifts are not taken as
decisive factors in qualifying for the right to a higher education.
It is indeed intolerable to think that year after year hundreds of thousands
of young people without a vestige of talent are deemed worthy of a higher
education, while other hundreds of thousands who possess high natural gifts
out any sort of higher schooling at all.
The practical loss thus suffered by the nation is incalculable. If the
number of important discoveries which have been made in North America, in
particular, has grown considerably in recent years, one of the reasons is that
the number of gifted persons belonging to the lowest social classes who were
given a higher education in that country is proportionately much larger than in Europe.
A stock of knowledge packed into the brain will not suffice for the
making of discoveries.M
What counts here is only that knowledge which is
illuminated by natural talent, but with us at the present time no value is placed
on such gifts. Only good school reports count.
Here is another educative work that is waiting for the v
accomplish. It will not be its task to assure a dominant influence to a certain
social class already existing, but it will be its duty to attract the most
competent brains in the total mass of the nation and promote them to place and honour.
It is not merely the dutyM
of the State to give to the average child a certain
amount of education in the primary school, but it is also its duty to make it
possible for talent to develop, and above all, it must open the doors of the
colleges and universities to talent of every sort, no matter in what social
circles it may appear.</p>
<p>This is an imperative necessity, for thus alone will it be possible to
develop a talented body of public leaders from among the class which has
acquired sterile learninM
There is still another reason why the State should provide for this
situation. Our intellectual class, particularly in Germany, is so shut up in itself
and fossilised that it lacks living contact with the classes beneath it.
Two evil consequences result from this. Firstly, the intellectual class
neither understands nor sympathises with the broad masses. It has been so long
cut off from all connection with them that it cannot understand their psychology.
It has become estranged from the people. Secondly, the inteM
lacks the necessary will-power, for this faculty is always weaker in cultivated
circles, which live in seclusion, than among the primitive masses of the people.
God knows, we Germans have never been lacking in abundant scientific
culture, but we have always had a considerable lack of will-power and of the
capacity for making decisions.
For example, the more
our statesmen have been, the more
lacking they have been, for the most part, in practical achievement.
Our political preparatiM

were defective, certainly not because the brains governing the nation were too
little educated, but because the men who directed our public affairs were overeducated,
filled to overflowing with knowledge and intelligence, yet without
any sound instinct and simply without energy, or any spirit of daring.
s tragedy to have to fight for its existence under a
Chancellor who was a dilly-dallying philosopher. If, instead of a Bethmann-Hollweg,
had a more robust man of the people as our leader, the heroic
blood of the common grenadier would not have been shed in vain.
The exaggeratedly intellectual material out of which our leaders were
made, proved to be the best ally of the scoundrels who carried out the
November Revolution.
These intellectuals safeguarded the national wealth in a miserly fashion;
instead of conscripting it to its limits they created the conditions under which
others won success.</p>
tholic Church presents an instructive example. Clerical
celibacy forces the Church to recruit its priests not from their own ranks, but
progressively from the masses of the people.
Yet there are not many who recognise the significance of celibacy in this
relation. Therein lies the cause of the inexhaustible vigour which characterises
that ancient institution.
By unceasingly recruiting the ecclesiastical dignitaries from the lower
classes of the people, the Church is enabled not only to maintain the contact of
nctive understanding with the masses of the population, but also to assure
itself of always being able to draw upon that fund of energy which is present
only among the lower classes. Hence the surprising youthfulness of that
gigantic organism, its mental flexibility and its iron resolution.
It will be the task of the v
lkisch State so to organise and administer its
educational system that the existing intellectual-class will be constantly
furnished with a supply of fresh blood from beneath.
From the bulk of the naM
tion the State must sift out with careful scrutiny
those persons who are endowed with natural talents and see to it that they are
employed in the service of the community, for neither the State itself nor the
various departments of State exist to furnish revenues for members of a special
class, but to fulfil the tasks allotted to them.
This will be possible, however, only if the State trains individuals
especially for these offices. Such individuals must have the necessary
fundamental capability and will-power. TheM
principle does not hold good only
in regard to the, civil service, but also in regard to all those who are to take
part in the intellectual and moral leadership of the people, no matter in what
sphere they may be employed.
The greatness of a people is partly dependent on the condition that it
must succeed in training the best brains for those branches of the public service
for which they show a special natural aptitude and in placing them in the
offices where they can do their best work for the good of the communiM
If two nations of equal strength and quality engage in a mutual conflict,
that nation will come out victorious which has entrusted its intellectual and
moral leadership to its best talents and that nation will go under whose
government represents only a common food trough for privileged groups or
classes irrespective of the innate talents of its individual members.</p>
<p>Of course, such a reform seems impossible in the world as it is to-day.
The objection will at once be rM
aised, that it is too much to expect from the
favourite son of a highly-placed civil servant, for instance, that he shall work
with his hands simply because somebody else, whose parents belong to the
working-class, seems more capable of filling a job in the civil service.
That argument may be valid as long as manual work is looked upon as it
is looked upon to-day. Hence the v
lkisch State will have to take up an attitude
towards the appreciation of manual labour which will be fundamentally
different from that whicM
If necessary, it will have to organise a persistent system of teaching
which will aim at abolishing the stupid present-day habit of looking down on
manual labour as an occupation of which to be ashamed.
The individual will have to be valued, not by the class of work he does,
but by the way in which he does it and by its usefulness to the community.
This statement may sound monstrous in an epoch when the most brainless
column-writer on a newspaper staff is more esteemed than the most expert
erely because the former pushes a pen.
But, as I have said, this false valuation does not correspond to the true
nature of things. It has been artificially introduced, and there was a time when
it did not exist at all.
The present unnatural state of affairs is one of those general morbid
phenomena that have arisen from our materialistic epoch.
Fundamentally, every kind of work has a double value; the one material,
the other ideal. The material value depends on the importance of the work in
the life of the communityM
The greater the number of the population who benefit from the work,
directly or indirectly, the higher will be its material value.
This evaluation is expressed in the material recompense which the
individual receives for his labour.
In contradiction to this purely material value there is the ideal value.
Here the work performed is not judged by its material importance, but by the
degree to which it answers a necessity.</p>
<p>Certainly the material utility of an invention mayM
be greater than that of
the service rendered by an ordinary workman; but it is also certain that the
community needs each of those small daily services just as much as the greater services.
From the material point of view a distinction can be made in the
evaluation of different kinds of work according to their utility to the
community, and this; distinction is expressed by differentiation in the scale of
recompense; but on the ideal or abstract plane all workmen become equal the
moment each strives to do his best M
in his own field, no matter what that field may be.
It is on this that a man
s value must be estimated, and not on the amount
of recompense received.
In a sensibly governed State care must be taken that each individual is
given the kind of work which corresponds to his capabilities.
In other words, people will be trained for the positions indicated by
their natural endowments; but these endowments or faculties are innate and
cannot be acquired by any amount of training, being a gift of Nature and not the
Therefore, the way in which men are generally esteemed by their fellow-citizens
must not be according to the kind of work they do, because that has
been more or less assigned to the individual.
Seeing that the kind of work on which the individual is employed is
determined by his circumstances and the training which he has, in consequence,
received from the community. He will have to be judged by the way in which
he performs the work entrusted to him by the community, for the work which
forms is not the purpose of his existence, but only a means of livelihood.
His real purpose in life is to better himself and raise himself to a higher
level as a human being; but this he can only do in and through the community,
whose cultural life he shares and this community must always exist on the
foundations of a State.
He must contribute to the conservation of those foundations.</p>
<p>Nature determines the form of this contribution. It is the duty of the individual to reM
to the community, zealously and honestly, what the community has given him.
He who does this deserves the highest respect and esteem. Material
remuneration may be given to him whose work has a corresponding utility for
the community; but the ideal recompense must lie in the esteem to which
everyone has a claim who serves his nation with whatever powers Nature has
bestowed upon him and which have been developed by the training he has
received from the national community. Then it will no longer be dishonourable
to be an honest craftsman, but it will be a source of disgrace to be an
inefficient State official, wasting God
s day and filching one
from an honest public.
Then it will be looked upon as quite natural that positions should not be
given to persons who, of their very nature, are incapable of filling them.
Furthermore, this personal efficiency will be the sole criterion of the
right to take part on an equal juridical footing in general civic affairs.
The present epoch is working out its own ruin. IM
t introduces universal
suffrage and chatters about equal rights, but can find no foundation for this equality.
It considers the material wage as the expression of a man
thus destroys the basis of the noblest kind of equality that can exist, for equality
cannot and does not depend on the work a man does, but only on the manner in
which each one does the particular work allotted to him.
Thus alone will the mere accident of birth be set aside in determining the
worth of a man and thus only does the indivM
idual become the creator of his
At the present time, when whole groups of people estimate each other
value only by the size of the salaries which they respectively receive, there can
be no understanding of all this, but that is no reason why we should cease to
champion these ideas.
On the contrary, in an epoch which is inwardly diseased and decaying
anyone who would heal it must have the courage first to probe to the real roots
ational Socialist Movement must take that duty on its shoulders, it
must act over the heads of the small bourgeoisie and rally together and
coordinate all those elements within the community which are fit to become the
protagonists of a new <i>Weltanschauung</i>.
Of course the objection will be made that in general it is difficult to
differentiate between the material and ideal values of work and that the lower
prestige which is attached to manual labour is due to the fact that smaller
wages are paid for that kind M
It will be said that the lower wage is, in its turn, the reason why the
manual worker has less chance to participate in the culture of the nation, so that
the ideal side of human culture is less open to him although it may have nothing
to do with his daily activities.
It may be added that reluctance to do physical work is justified by the
fact that, on account of his low wages the cultural level of the manual labourer
must naturally be low, and that this in turn is a justification for the lower
in which manual labour is generally held. There is a good deal of
truth in all this, but that is the very reason why we ought to see that in future
there should not be such a wide difference in the scale of remuneration. We
will not entertain the argument that under such condition: poorer work would
be done. It would be the saddest symptom of decadence if finer intellectual
work could be obtained only through the stimulus of higher payment.
If that point of view had ruled the world up to now, humanity would
ave come into its great scientific and cultural heritage, for the greatest
inventions, the greatest discoveries, the most profoundly revolutionary
scientific work, and the most magnificent monuments of human culture, were
not given to the world from greed of gain.
On the contrary only too often the fact that they were given to the world
meant a renunciation of the worldly pleasures that wealth can purchase.
It may be that money has become the one power that governs life to-day,
yet a time will come when men will agM
ain bow to higher gods.
Much that we have to-day owes its existence to the desire for money and
property, but there is very little among all this which would leave the world
poorer by its absence.</p>
<p>It is also one of the aims of our Movement to hold out the prospect of a
time when the individual will be given what he needs for the purposes of his
life and it will be a time in which, on the other hand, the principle will be
upheld that man does not live for material enjoymeM
This principle will find expression in a wisely limited scale of wages
and salaries which will enable everyone, including the humblest workman who
fulfils his duties conscientiously, to live an honourable and decent life both as
a man and as a citizen.
Let it not be said that this is merely a visionary ideal, that this world
would never tolerate it in practice and that of itself it is impossible to attain.
Even we are not so simple as to believe that there will ever be an age in
which there will be no draM
wbacks, but that does not release us from the
obligation to fight for the removal of the defects which we have recognised, to
overcome the shortcomings and to strive towards the ideal.
In any case, the hard reality of the facts to be faced will always place
only too many limits on our aspirations. But that is precisely why man must
strive again and again to serve the ultimate aim. No failures must induce him to
renounce his intentions, just as we cannot spurn the sway of justice because
mistakes creep into the admiM
nistration of the law, and just as we cannot despise
medical science because, in spite of it, there will always be disease.
Man should take care not to have too low an estimate of the power of an
ideal. If there are some who feel disheartened over present conditions, and if
they happen to have served as soldiers, I would remind them of the time when
their heroism was the most convincing example of the power inherent in ideal
motives. It was not preoccupation about their daily bread that led men to
ives, but love of their country, the faith which they had in its
greatness, and the common struggle to uphold the honour of the nation.
Only after the German people had abandoned these ideals in favour of
the material promises offered by the Revolution, only after they had exchanged
their arms for the rucksack, only then
instead of entering an earthly paradise
did they think into the purgatory of universal contempt and universal want.
That is why we must confront the calculators of the materialistic
ith faith in an ideal Reich.</p>
<h1 id="chapter-iii-citizens-and-subjects-of-the-state">CHAPTER III: CITIZENS AND SUBJECTS OF THE STATE</h1>
<p>The institution that is now erroneously called the State generally
classifies people in two groups
citizens and aliens.
Citizens are all those who possess full civic rights, either by reason of
their birth or by an act of naturalization. Aliens are those who M
rights in some other State.
Between these two categories there are certain beings who resemble a
sort of meteoric phenomena. They are people who have no citizenship in any
State and consequently no civic-rights anywhere.
In most cases, a person acquires civic rights nowadays by being born
within the frontiers of a State. The race or nationality to which he may belong
plays no role whatsoever.
The child of a Negro who once lived in one of the German protectorates
and now takes up his residence in GermM
any automatically becomes a
in the eyes of the world.
In the same way the child of any Jew, Pole, African or Asian may
automatically become a German citizen.
Besides nationality that is acquired through the fact of having been born
within the confines of a State, there exists another kind of nationality which can
This process is subject to various preliminary requirements. For
example, one condition is that, if possible, the applicant must not be a burglar
tical attitude must be such as to give no cause for uneasiness; in
other words, he must be a harmless simpleton in politics.
It is required that he shall not be a burden to the State of which he wishes
to become a citizen. In this realistic epoch of ours this last condition naturally
only means that he must not be a financial burden.</p>
<p>If the affairs of the candidate are such that it appears likely he will turn
out to be a good taxpayer, that is a very important consideratM

The whole process of acquiring civic rights is not very different from
that of being admitted to membership of an automobile club, for instance: A
person files his application; it is examined; it is sanctioned, and one day the
man receives a card which informs him that he has become a citizen. The
information is given in an amusing way. An applicant who has hitherto been a
Zulu or a Kaffir is informed,
y these presents you have now become a
The President of the State can perform this piece of magic. What God
Himself could not do is achieved by some Theophrastus Paracelsus of a civil
servant. A stroke of the pen, and a Mongolian slave is forthwith turned into a
Not only is no question asked regarding the race to which the new citizen
belonged; even the matter of his physical health is not inquired into.
His flesh may be corrupt with syphilis; but he will still be welcome in
e State as it exists to-day, as long as he is not likely to become a financial
burden or a political menace.
In this way, year after year, those organisms which we call States absorb
poisonous matter which they can hardly ever overcome.
Another point of distinction between a citizen and an alien is that the
former is admitted to all public offices, that he may possibly have to do
military service and that in return, he is permitted to take a passive or active
part at public elections.
Those are his chief privilegesM
, for in regard to personal rights and
personal liberty the alien enjoys the same amount of protection as the citizen,
and frequently even more.
Anyhow that is what happens in our present German Republic. I fully
realise that nobody likes to hear these things, but it would be difficult to find
anything more illogical or more insane than our contemporary laws in regard to
State citizenship.</p>
<p>At present there exists one State which is making at least a feeble attempt
low a sounder principle in this respect. It is not, however, in our model
German Republic, but in the U.S.A. that efforts are being made to conform at
least partly to the dictates of common sense.
By refusing to allow immigrants to enter the country if they are in a bad
state of health, and by excluding certain races from the right to become
naturalised as citizens, they have begun to introduce principles similar to those
on which we wish to ground the v
lkisch State will classify its populatiM
on in three groups, namely,
citizens, subjects of the State, and aliens.
The principle is that birth within the confines of the State gives only the
status of a subject. It does not carry with it the right to fill any position under
the State or to participate in political life, such as taking an active or passive
Another principle is that the race and nationality of every subject of the
State will have to be proved. A subject is at any time free to cease being a
subject and to become a citizen oM
f that country to which he belongs in virtue of
The only difference between an alien and a subject of the State is that the
former is a citizen of another country.
A boy of German nationality who is a subject of the German State is
bound to complete the period of school education which is obligatory for every German.
Thereby he submits to the system of training which will make him, race-conscious and
make him realise that he is a member of the folk-community.
Then he has to fulfil all those requirM
ements laid down by the State in
regard to physical training after he has left school, and finally he enters the Army.
The training in the Army is of a general kind. It must be given to each
individual German and will render him competent to fulfil the physical and
mental requirements of military service.</p>
<p>The rights of citizenship will be conferred on every young man, whose
health and character have been certified as good, after having completed his
period of military seM
This act of admission to the dignity of citizenship will be a solemn
ceremony, and the diploma conferring the rights of citizenship will be
preserved by the young man as a most precious testimonial throughout his
It entitles him to exercise all the rights of a citizen and to enjoy all the
privileges attached thereto, for the State must draw a sharp line of distinction
between those who, as members of the nation, are the foundation and the
support of its existence and greatness, and those who are M
domiciled in the State
simply because they earn their livelihood there.
On the occasion of receiving a diploma of citizenship the new citizen
must take a solemn oath of loyalty to the national community and the State.
This diploma must be a bond which unites all the various classes and
sections of the nation. It must be regarded as a greater honour to be a citizen of
this Reich, even as a street-sweeper, than to be the king of a foreign State.
The citizen has privileges which are not accorded to the alien. He is thM
master in the Reich, but this high honour brings with it obligations.
Those who are without personal honour or character, who are common
criminals, or traitors to the Fatherland, can at any time be deprived of the
rights of citizenship. Thereby they revert to the status of mere subjects of the State.
The German girl is a subject of the State, but becomes a citizen when she
marries. At the same time those women who earn their livelihood

LKISCH</em> STATE</h1>
<p>If the principal duty of the national socialist v
lkisch State be to educate
and promote the existence of those who constitute the material out of which the
State is formed, it will not be sufficient to promote those racial elements as
them and finally train them for practical life. The State must also
adapt its own organisation to meet the exigencies of this task.
It would be absurd to appraise a man
s worth by the race to which he
belongs, and at the same time to make war against the Marxist principle that all
men are equal, without being determined to pursue our own principle to its

In general I must estimate the worth of nations differently, on the basis of
the different races from which they spring, and I must also differentiate in
estimating the, worth of the individual within his own race.
The principle that one people is not the same as another, applies also to
the individual members of a national community, just as no one man, for
instance, is equal to another, because the constituent elements belonging to theM

The first consequence of recognition of this fact is, if I may use such an
expression, somewhat crude, being an attempt to help and promote those

This task is comparatively simple because it can be recognised and
carried out almost mechanically.
It is much more difficult to seleM

A nation that could content itself with external reforms, would not have

and equitable, would effect no far-reaching or profound reform of the existing order.
The whole effect of such measures would be limited to eM
would not furnish the nation with that moral armament which alone will enable
it effectively to overcome the weaknesses from which we are suffering to-day.
In order to elucidate this point of view it may be worth while to glance
once again at the real origins and causes of the cultural evolution of mankind.
The first step which visibly raised mankind above the animal world was
that which led to the first invention.</p>
<p>The invention itself owes its origin to tM
he ruses and stratagems which
man employed to assist him in the struggle for existence against, other
creatures and often to provide him with the only means he could adopt to
achieve success in this struggle.
Those first very crude inventions do not reveal the individual
personality, for the subsequent observer, that is to say, the modern observer,
recognises them only as collective phenomena.
Certain tricks and skilful tactics which can be observed among animals
strike the eye of the observer as established facts M
everywhere and man is no longer in a position to discover or explain their
primary cause and so he contents himself with calling such phenomena instinctive.
In our case, this term has no meaning, because everyone who believes in
the higher evolution of living organisms must admit that every manifestation of
the vital urge and struggle to live must have had a definite, beginning in time
and that one subject alone must have manifested it for the first time.
It was then repeated again and again, and M
the practice of it spread over a
widening area, until finally it passed into the subconsciousness of every
member of the species, where it manifested itself as
This is more easily understood and more easy to believe in the case of
man. His first skilled tactics in the struggle against the rest of the animals
undoubtedly originated with individuals possessing special capabilities.
There can be no doubt that personality was then the sole factor in all
decisions and achievements which were afterwards tM
aken over by the whole of
humanity as a matter of course.
An exact exemplification of this may be found in those fundamental
military principles which have now become the basis of all strategy in war.
Originally, they sprang from the brain of a single individual and in the
course of many years, maybe even thousands of years, they were accepted all
around as a matter of course and thus gained universal validity.
Man supplemented his first discovery by making a second. Among other
things he learned how to master otheM
r living beings and make then serve him in
his struggle for existence, and thus began the real inventive activity of mankind,
as it is now evident to its.</p>
<p>Those material inventions, beginning with the use of stones as weapons,
which led to the domestication of animals and the production of fire by
artificial means, down to the many marvellous inventions of our own day,
reveal more clearly the individual as the originator, the nearer we come to our
own time and the more iM
mportant and revolutionary the inventions become.
All the material inventions which we see around us have been produced
by the creative powers and capabilities of individuals, and all these inventions
help man to raise himself higher and higher above the animal world and to
separate himself from that world in an absolutely definite way.
Hence, they serve fundamentally to promote the continued progress of the
human species. What the most primitive artifice once did for man in his
struggle for existence, as he went hM
unting in the primeval forest, is being done
for him to-day in the form of marvellous scientific inventions which help him to
wage the present-day struggle for life and forge weapons for future struggles.
Ultimately, all human thought and all human inventions help man in his
life-struggle on this planet, even though the so-called practical utility of an
invention, a discovery or a profound scientific theory, may not be evident at
Everything contributes to raise man higher and higher above the level of
all the other creatures that surround him, thereby strengthening and
consolidating his position, so that he develops more and more in every
direction as the ruling being on this earth.
Hence, all inventions are the result of the creative faculty of the
individual and all such individuals, whether they have willed it or not, are, in a
greater or lesser degree, benefactors of mankind.
Through their work millions, and indeed billions, of human beings have
been provided with means which facilitate their struggle for exM
If then we see the inventive minds to which we owe the origin of the
material civilisation of our day, as individuals who supplement one another
and continue the work their predecessors have begun, the same is true in regard
to the practical application of those inventions and discoveries. For all the
various methods of production are in their turn inventions also and
consequently dependent on the creative faculty of the individual.</p>
<p>Even the purely theoretical wM
ork, which cannot be measured by a
definite rule and is preliminary to all subsequent technical discoveries, is
exclusively the product of the individual brain.
Humanity in bulk does not turn out inventions, nor does the majority
organise and think, but only the individual man.
Accordingly, a human community is well organised only when it
facilitates to the highest possible degree individual creative forces and utilises
their work for the benefit of the community.
The most valuable factor of an invention, whether iM
t be in the world of
material realities or in the world of abstract ideas, is the personality of the
The first and supreme duty of an organised folk-community is to place
the inventor in a position where he can be of the greatest benefit to all.
Indeed, the very purpose of the organisation is to put this principle into
practice. Only by so doing can it ward off the curse of mechanisation and
become a living thing.
In itself it must personify the effort to place men of brains above the
d to make the latter obey the former.
Therefore, not only does the organisation possess no right to prevent men
of brains from rising above the multitude but, on the contrary, it must use its
organising powers to enable and promote their progress as far as it possibly can.
It must set out from the principle that the blessings of mankind never
came from the masses, but from the creative brains of individuals, who are
therefore the real benefactors of humanity.
It is in the interest of all to ensure men of creative bM
influence and facilitate their work. This common interest is surely not served
by allowing the multitude to rule, for it is not capable of thinking nor is it
efficient and in no circumstances whatsoever can it be said to be gifted.
Only those should rule who have the natural temperament and gifts of leadership.</p>
<p>Such men of brains are selected mainly, as I have already said, through
the hard struggle for existence itself.
In this struggle there are many wM
ho break down and collapse and thereby
show that they are not called upon by Destiny to fill the highest positions, and
only very few are left who can be classed among the elect.
In the realm of thought and of artistic creation, and even in the economic
field, this same process of selection takes place even to-day, although
especially in the economic field
its operation is heavily handicapped.
This same principle of selection holds good in the administration of the
State and in that force which is represented M
by the organised military defence
The idea of personality, of the authority of the individual over his
subordinates and of the responsibility of the individual towards the persons
who are placed over him dominates in every sphere of life. It is only in
political life that this very natural principle has been completely ignored.
Though all human civilisation has resulted exclusively from the creative
activity of the individual, the principle that it is
the majority which counts,
out the entire, national community and more especially as
regards its administration, whence the poison gradually filters into all branches
of national life, thus causing a veritable decomposition.
The destructive activities of Judaism in different parts of the national
body can be ascribed fundamentally to the persistent Jewish efforts at
undermining the importance of personality among the nations that are their
hosts and, in place of personality, substituting the domination of the masses.
The constructive principM
le of Aryan humanity is thus displaced by the
destructive principle of the Jews. They are the ferment of decomposition
among nations and races and, in a broad sense, the wreckers of human civilisation.
Marxism represents the most striking phase of the Jewish endeavour to
eliminate the dominant significance of personality in every sphere of human
life and to replace it by the numerical power of the masses.
In politics the parliamentary form of government is the expression of this
effort. We can observe the fatal M
effects of it everywhere, from the smallest
parish council upwards to the highest government circles in the Reich.</p>
<p>In the field of economics we have the trade-union movement, which
serves not the real interests of the employees, but the destructive aims of
international Jewry. In the same degree in which the principle of personality is
excluded from the economic life of the nation, and the influence and activities
of the masses substituted in its stead, national economy,M
which should be for
the service and benefit of the community as a whole, will gradually deteriorate
in creative capacity.
The works committees which, instead of caring for the interests of the
employees, strive to influence the process of production, serve the same
destructive purpose.
They damage production as a whole and consequently injure the
individual engaged in industry, for in the long run it is impossible to satisfy
popular demands merely by high-sounding theoretical phrases.
These can be satisfied only bM
y supplying goods to meet the individual
needs of daily life and by so doing, creating the conviction that, through the
productive collaboration of its members, the folk-community serves the
interests of the individual.
Even if, on the basis of its mass-theory, Marxism should prove itself
capable of taking over and developing the present economic system, this would
not be of vital significance.
The question as to whether the Marxist doctrine be right or wrong cannot

be a counterpart of what already exists.
Even if Marxism were a thousand-fold capable of taking over the
economic system as we now have it, and of maintaining it in operation under
Marxist direction, such an achievement would prove nothing. This is because,
on the basis of its own principles, Marxism would never be able to create
hing which could supplant what exists to-day.
Marxism itself has furnished the proof that it cannot do this. Not only has
it been unable to create a cultural or economic system of its own anywhere; but
it was not even able to develop, according to its own principles, the
civilisation and economic system it found ready to hand.</p>
<p>It has had to make compromises, by way of a return to the principle of
personality, nor can it dispense with that principle in its own organisatioM
lkisch Weltanschauung</i> differs fundamentally from the Marxist by
reason of the fact that the former recognises the significance of race and
therefore also of personal worth and has made these the pillars of its structure.
These are the most important factors of this <i>Weltanschauung</i>. If the
National Socialist Movement should fail to understand the fundamental
importance of this essential principle, if it should content itself with patching
up the present State from without and adopt the majoritM
y principle, it would
really do nothing more than compete with Marxism on its own ground. For that
reason it would not have the right to call itself a <i>Weltanschauung</i>.
If the social programme of the movement consisted in eliminating
personality and putting the multitude in its place, then National Socialism
would be corrupted with the poison of Marxism, just as our bourgeois parties are.

according to which decisive power through the majority vote is invested in the

ive at the following conclusion; The best constitution and the
best form of government is that which, as a matter of course, renders it
possible for the best brains to reach a position of dominant importance and
influence in the community.
Just as in the field of economics men of outstanding ability cannot be
selected from above, but must come to the fore by virtue of their own efforts,
and just as there is an unceasing educative process that leads from the smallest
shop to the largest undertaking, and just as lifeM
itself provides the necessary
tests, so in the political field it is not possible to

<p>Genius of an extraordinary stamp precludes consideration of the claims
of the average man. In its organisation, the State must be established on the
principle of personality, starting from the smallest cell and ascending to the
supreme man in the government of the country.
There are no decisions made by the majority vote, but only by
onsible persons, and the word
is once more restored to its
Every man in a position of responsibility will have counsellors at his
side, but the decision is made by that individual alone.
The principle which made the former Prussian Army an admirable
instrument of the German nation will have to become the basis of our state

in each leader and he must be responsible to those above him.
l not be able to do without those corporations which at
present we call parliaments, but they will be real councils, in the sense that
they, will have to give advice. The responsibility can and must be borne by one
individual, who alone will be vested with authority and the right to command.
Parliaments as such are necessary, because they alone furnish the
opportunity for leaders, who will subsequently be entrusted with positions of
special responsibility, to rise gradually to authority.
The following is an outlineM
of the picture which the organisation will
present. From the municipal administration up to the government of the Reich,
lkisch</i> State will not have any body of representatives which makes its
decisions by a majority vote.
It will have only advisory bodies to assist the chosen leader for the time
being and he will distribute among them the various duties they are to perform.
In certain fields they may, if necessary, have to assume full
responsibility, such as the leader or president of each corporatioM
In principle the <i>v
lkisch</i> State must forbid the custom of taking advice on
certain political problems (economics, for instance) from parsons who are
entirely incompetent, because they lack special training and practical
experience in such matters.</p>
<p>Consequently, the State must divide its representative bodies into a
political chamber and a corporative chamber that represents the respective
trades and professions.
To assure effective M
co-operation between those two bodies, a selected
body, or senate will be placed ever them. No vote will be taken in the
chambers or in the senate. They are to be organisations for work and not voting machines.
The individual members will have consultative votes, but no right of
decision will be attached thereto. The right of decision belongs exclusively to
the president, who must be entirely responsible for the matter under discussion.
This principle of combining absolute authority with absolute

thing which is impossible in our present epoch of irresponsible parliamentarianism.
The political construction of the nation will thereby be brought into
harmony with those laws to which the nation already owes its greatness in the
economic and cultural spheres.
Regarding the possibility of putting these principles into practice, I
should like to call attention to the fact that the principle of parliamentarian
democracy, whereby decisions are enacted throuM
gh the majority vote, has not
always ruled the world.
On the contrary, we find it prevalent only during short periods of history
and these have always been periods of decline in nations and States.
One must not believe, however, that such a radical change could be
effected by measures of a purely theoretical character, operating from above
downwards. The change I have been describing could not be limited to
transforming the constitution of a State, but would have to include the various
fields of legislation and civM
ic existence as a whole.
Such a revolution can be brought about only by means of a movement
which is itself organised on the lines of these principles and thus bears, the
germ of the future State in its own organism.</p>
<p>Therefore, it is well for the National Socialist Movement to make itself
completely familiar with these principles to-day and actually to put them into
practice within its own organisation, so that not only will it be in a position to
serve as a guide for thM
e future State, but will have so far completed its own
constitution that it can be placed at the disposal of the State itself.</p>
<h1 id="chapter-v-weltanschauung-and-organisation">CHAPTER V: <em>WELTANSCHAUUNG</em> AND ORGANISATION</h1>
lkisch</i> state, which I have tried to sketch in general outline, will
not yet become a reality by virtue of the simple fact that we know the
indispensable for its existence.
It does not suffice to know what aspect such a State would present. The
problem of its foundation is far more important.
The parties which exist at present and which draw their, profits from the
State, as it now is, cannot be expected to bring about a radical change in the
regime or to change their attitude on their own initiative.
This is rendered all the more impossible because those who now have
the direction of affairs in their hands are all of them Jews.
The trend of developmenM
t which we are now experiencing would, if
allowed to go on unchecked, lead to the realisation of the pan-Jewish prophecy
that the Jews will one day devour the other nations and become lords of the earth.
In contrast to the millions of
are stumbling to their ruin, mostly through timidity, indolence and stupidity, the
Jew pursues his way persistently and keeps his eye always fixed on his future goal.
Any party that is led by him fights for no other interests than hisM
interests certainly have nothing in common with those of the Aryan nations.
If we would transform our ideal picture of the <i>v
lkisch</i> State into a
reality we shall have to keep independent of the forces that now control public
life and seek for new forces that will be ready and capable of taking up the
fight for such an ideal.
For a fight it will have to be, since the first task will not be to build up
the idea of the <i>v
lkisch</i> State, but rather to wipe out the Jewish State which
As so often happens in the course of history, the main difficulty is not to
establish a new order of things, but to clear the ground for its establishment.</p>
<p>Prejudices and egotistic interests join together in forming a common
front against the new idea and in trying by every means to prevent its triumph,
because it is disagreeable to them or threatens their existence. That is why the
protagonist of the new idea is, unfortunately, in spite of his desire for
rk, compelled to wage a destructive battle first, in order to
abolish the existing state of affairs.
A doctrine whose principles are radically new and of essential
importance must adopt the sharp probe of criticism as its weapon, though this
may prove disagreeable to the individual followers.
It is evidence of a very superficial insight into historical developments if
the supporters of the so-called pseudo-<i>v
lkisch</i> movement emphasise again
and again that they will, in no circumstances, adopt the use of negaM
criticism, but will engage only in constructive work.
That is nothing but puerile chatter and is typical of all the rubbish talked
by the adherents of this <i>v
lkisch</i> craze. It is another proof that the history of our
own times, has made no impression on their minds.
Marxism, too, has had its aims to pursue and converted and won over to
the new movement simply by being shown that something new is necessary.
On the contrary, what may easily happen is that two different situations
will exist side by side aM
nd that a <i>Weltanschauung</i> is transformed into a party,
above which level it will not be able to raise itself afterwards, for a
<i>Weltanschauung</i> is intolerant and cannot permit another to exist side by side
It imperiously demands its own recognition as unique and exclusive, and
insists upon a complete reformation of public life in all its branches, in
accordance with its views. It can never allow the previous state of affairs to
continue in existence alongside it.
The same holds true of religionsM
. Christianity was, not content with
erecting an altar of its own. It had first to destroy the pagan altars. It was only
by virtue of this passionate intolerance that an apodictic faith could grow up,
and intolerance is an indispensable condition for the growth of such a faith.
It may be objected here that in these phenomena which we find
throughout the history of the world we have to recognise mostly a specifically
Jewish mode of thought and that such fanaticism and intolerance are typical
symptoms of the Jewish mM
<p>This may be true a thousand times over and we may regret that it is so
and note with a feeling of uneasiness that this phenomenon has hitherto been
unknown in the history of mankind
but the hard fact remains that such is the
It is not the business of the men who wish to liberate our German nation
from the conditions is in which it now exists to burden their brains with
thinking how excellent it would be if this or that had never occurred. ThM
strive to find ways and means of abolishing what actually exists.
A philosophy of life which is inspired by a fanatical spirit of intolerance
can only be set aside by a doctrine that is advanced in an equally ardent spirit
and fought for with as determined a will and which is itself a new idea, pure
and absolutely sincere.
Each one of us to-day may regret the fact that the advent of Christianity
was the first occasion on which spiritual terror was introduced into the much
freer ancient world, but the fact cM
annot be denied that ever since then, the
world has been pervaded and dominated by this kind of coercion and that
violence is broken only by violence and terrorism by terrorism.
Only then can a new regime be created by means of constructive work.
Political parties are prone to make compromises, but a <i>Weltanschauung</i> never
A political party even reckons with opponents, but a <i>Weltanschauung</i>
proclaims its own infallibility.
In the beginning, political parties have nearly always the intention ofM
securing exclusive and despotic domination for themselves.
They always show a slight tendency to become <i>Weltanschauungen</i>, but
the limited nature of their programme is in itself enough to rob them of that
heroic spirit which a <i>Weltanschauung</i> demands.
The spirit of conciliation, which animates their will, attracts those petty
and chicken-hearted people who are not fit to take part in any crusade. That is
the reason why they mostly become stuck in their miserable pettiness very
early on the march.</p>
<p>They give up fighting for their ideology and, by way of what they call
positive collaboration,
they try as quickly as possible to wedge themselves
into some tiny place at the trough of the existent regime and to stick there as
Their whole effort ends at that, and if they should get shouldered away
from the common manger by competitors with more brutal manners, then their
only idea is to force themselves in again, by force or chicanery, among the herd
f all the others who have similar appetites, to get back into the front row, and
even at the expense of their most sacred convictions
themselves anew at that beloved spot where they find their fodder. They are the
jackals of politics.
A <i>Weltanschauung</i> will never of itself willingly give ground to another.
Therefore it can never agree to collaborate in any order of things that it condemns.
On the contrary, it feels obliged to employ every available means in the
fight against the old ordeM
r and the whole world of ideas belonging to that order
and to prepare the way for its destruction.
These purely destructive tactics, the danger of which is so readily
perceived by the enemy that he forms a united front against them for his
common defence, and also the constructive tactics, which must be aggressive
in order to carry the new world of ideas to success
both these phases of the
struggle call for a body of resolute fighters. Any new <i>Weltanschauung</i> will be
successful in establishing its ideas onlM
y if the most courageous and active
elements of its epoch and its people are enrolled under its standards and
grouped firmly together in a powerful fighting organisation.
To achieve this purpose it is absolutely necessary to select from the
general ideology a certain number of ideas which will appeal to such
individuals, and which, once they are expressed in a precise and clear-cut
form, will serve as articles of faith for a new association of men.
While the programme of the ordinary political party is nothing but M
recipe for achieving favourable results at the next general election, the
programme of a <i>Weltanschauung</i> represents a declaration of war against an
existing order of things, against present conditions, in short, against the
established <i>Weltanschauung</i>.</p>
<p>It is not necessary, however, that every individual fighter for such a new
doctrine need have a full grasp of the ultimate ideas and plans of those who are
the leaders of the movement.
It is only necessary M
that each should have a clear notion of the
fundamental ideas and that he should thoroughly assimilated a few of the most
fundamental principles, so that he will be convinced of the necessity of
carrying the movement and its doctrines to success.
The individual soldier is not initiated into the secrets of high strategical
plans, but he is trained to submit to a rigid discipline, to be passionately
convinced of the justice and inner might of his cause and to devote himself to it
So, too, the individM
ual follower of a movement must be made acquainted
with its far-reaching purpose, and realise that it is inspired by a powerful will
and that it has a great future before it.
Supposing that each soldier in an army were a general, if only as regards
his training and capacity, that army would not be an efficient fighting instrument.
Similarly, a political movement would not be very efficient in fighting
for a <i>Weltanschauung</i> if it were made up exclusively of intellectuals. We need
the private soldier too. WithoM
ut him no discipline can be established.
By its very nature, an organisation can exist only if leaders of high
intellectual ability are served by a large mass of men who are emotionally
devoted to the cause.
To maintain discipline in a company of two hundred men who are
equally intelligent and capable would turn out more difficult in the, long run
than to maintain discipline in a company of one hundred and ninety less gifted
men and ten who have had a higher education.
The Social Democrats have profited by recognisM
ing this truth. They took
the broad masses of our people who had just completed military service and
learned to submit to discipline, and they subjected this mass of men to the
discipline of the Social Democratic organisation, which was no less rigid than
the discipline through which the young men had passed in the course of their
military training.</p>
<p>The Social Democratic organisation consisted of an army divided into
officers and men. The German worker who had completed M
his military service
became the private soldier in that army, and the Jewish intelligentsia were its officers.
The German trade-union functionaries may be compared to its noncommissioned officers.
The fact, which was always looked upon with dismay
by our middle classes, that only the so-called uneducated classes joined the
Marxists was the very ground on which this party achieved its success.
For while the bourgeois parties
because they consisted mostly of
intellectuals, were only a feckless band of undisciplineM
Marxist leaders have formed out of much less intelligent human material an
army of party combatants who obey their Jewish masters just as blindly as they
formerly obeyed their German officers.
The German middle classes, who never bothered their heads about
psychological problems, because they felt themselves superior to such matters,
did not think it necessary to reflect on the profound significance of this fact and
the hidden danger involved in it.
Indeed, they believed that a political movemenM
followers exclusively from intellectual circles must, for that very reason, be of
greater importance and have better chances of success, and even a better
chance of taking over the government of the country than a party made up of the
They completely failed to realise the fact that the strength of a political
party never consists in the intelligence and independent spirit of the rank and
file of its members, but rather in the spirit of willing obedience with which
r intellectual leaders.
What is of decisive importance is the leadership itself. When two bodies
of troops are arrayed in mortal combat, victory will not fall to that side in
which every soldier has an expert knowledge of the rules of strategy, but rather
to that side which has the best leaders and, at the same time, the best
disciplined, most blindly obedient and best drilled troops.
That is a fundamental fact which we must always bear in mind when we
examine the possibility of transforming a <i>Weltanschauung</i>M
into a practical reality.</p>
<p>If we agree that in order to carry a <i>Weltanschauung</i> into practical effect
it must be incorporated in a fighting movement, then the logical consequence is
that the programme of such a movement must take account of the human
material at its disposal. Just as the ultimate aims and fundamental principles
must be made absolutely definite and intelligible, so the propaganda
programme must be well drawn up and must be inspired by a keen sense oM
psychological appeal to the minds of those without whose help the noblest
ideals will be doomed to remain forever in the realm of visions.
If the idea of the <i>v
lkisch</i> State, which is at present an obscure ideal, is
one day to attain a clear and definite success, from its vague and vast mass of
thought it will have to put forward certain definite principles which of their
very nature and content are calculated to attract a broad mass of adherents. In
other words, such a group of people as can guaranteeM
that these principles will
be fought for. That group of people is the German working-class.
That is why the programme of the new Movement was condensed into a
few fundamental postulates, twenty-five in all.
They are meant first of all to give the ordinary man a rough idea of what
the Movement is aiming at. They are, so to speak, a profession of faith which,
on the one hand, is meant to win adherents for the Movement and, on the other,
they are meant to unite such adherents together in a covenant to which all have M
In this connection we must never lose sight of the following fact: What
we call the programme of the Movement is absolutely right as far as its
ultimate aims are concerned, but as regards the manner in which that
programme is formulated certain psychological considerations had to be taken
Hence, in the course of time, the opinion may well arise that certain
principles should be expressed differently and might be better formulated, but
any attempt at a different formulation has a fatal effeM
ct in most cases, for
something that ought to be fixed and unshakable thereby becomes the subject of discussion.
As soon as one single point is removed from the sphere of dogmatic
certainly, the discussion will not simply result in a new and better formulation
which will have greater consistency, but may easily lead to endless debates
and general confusion.</p>
<p>In such cases, the question must always be carefully considered as to
whether a new and more adequate formulation iM
s to be preferred, though it may
cause a controversy within the Movement, or whether it may not be better to
retain the old formula which, though probably not the best, represents an
organism enclosed in itself, solid and internally homogeneous.
Every test shows that the second of these alternatives is preferable, for,
since in these changes one is dealing only with external forms, such corrections
will always appear desirable and possible, but the deciding factor is that
people in general think superficially, and M
therefore the great danger is that in
what is merely an external formulation of the programme people will see an
essential aim of the movement. In that way the will and the combative force at
the service of the ideal are weakened and the energies that ought to be directed
towards the outer world are dissipated in programmatic discussions within the
ranks of the Movement.
For a doctrine that is actually right in its main features it is less
dangerous to retain a formulation which may no longer be quite adequate,
tead of trying to improve it and thereby allowing a fundamental principle of
the Movement, which had hitherto been considered as solid as granite, to
become the subject of a general discussion which may have unfortunate consequences.
This is particularly to be avoided as long as a Movement is still fighting
for victory, for would it be possible to inspire people with blind faith in the
truth of a doctrine if doubt and uncertainty are encouraged by continual
alterations in its external formulation?
a doctrine must never be looked for in its external
formulas, but always in its inner meaning, and this is unchangeable.
One could only wish that for the sake of this inner meaning a movement
could exclude everything that tends towards disintegration and uncertainty in
order to preserve the unified force that is necessary for its triumph.
Here again the Catholic Church has a lesson to teach us. Though
sometimes, and often quite unnecessarily, its dogmatic system is in conflict
with the exact sciences and with scieM
ntific discoveries, it is not disposed to
sacrifice one syllable of its teachings.</p>
<p>It has rightly recognised that its powers of resistance would be
weakened by introducing greater or lesser doctrinal adaptations to cope with
temporary scientific discoveries, which are in reality always vacillating, but
that they gain strength from the fact that it holds fast to its fixed and established
dogmas which alone can give to the whole system the character of a faith.
reason why it stands firmer to-day than ever before. We may
prophesy that, as a fixed star amid fleeting phenomena, it will continue to
attract increasing numbers of people who will be the more blindly attached to
it the more rapid the rhythm of changing phenomena around it.
Therefore, whoever really and seriously desires that the <i>v
Weltanschauung</i> should triumph must realise that this triumph can be assured
only through a militant movement and that this movement must found its
strength only on the gM
ranite firmness of an impregnable and well-defined programme.
In regard to its formulas it must never make concessions to the spirit of
the time, but must maintain the form that has once and for all been decided
upon as the right one
in any case, until victory has crowned its efforts.
Before this goal has been reached any attempt to open a discussion on
the appropriateness of this or that point, in the programme might tend to
disintegrate the solidarity and fighting strength of the movement, according to
ure in which its followers might take part in such an internal dispute.
introduced to-day might be subjected to a critical
examination to-morrow, in order to substitute for it something better the day after.
Once the barrier has been broken down, the way is opened and we know
only the beginning, but we do not know to what shoreless sea it may lead.
This important principle had to be acknowledged in practice by the
members of the National Socialist Movement from the outset.
In its programme ofM
twenty-five points the National Socialist German
Labour Party has been furnished with a basis that must remain unshakable.
The members of the Movement, both present and future, must never feel
themselves called upon to undertake a critical revision of these postulates, but
rather feel themselves obliged to put them into practice as they stand.</p>
<p>Otherwise, the next generation would, in its turn, and with an equal right,
expend its energy in such purely formal work within M
the Party, instead of
winning new adherents for the Movement and thus adding to its power.
For the majority of our followers the essence of the Movement will
consist not so much in the letter of our theses as in the meaning that we attribute
The new Movement owes its name to these considerations, and later on
its programme was drawn up in conformity with them.
They are the basis of our propaganda. In order to carry the <i>v
to victory, a popular party had to be founded, a party that did nM
intellectual leaders only, but also of manual labourers.
Any attempt to carry these theories into effect without the aid of a
militant organisation would be doomed to failure to-day, as it has failed in the
past and must fail in the future.
That is why it is not only the right, but also the duty, of the Movement to
consider itself as the champion and representative of these ideas.
Just as the fundamental principles of the National Socialist Movement
are based on the <i>v
lkisch</i> idea, <i>v
</i> ideas are National Socialist.
If National Socialism would triumph it will have to hold firm to this fact
unreservedly, and here again it is not only its right, but also its duty, to
emphasise most rigidly that any attempt to represent the <i>v
lkisch</i> idea outside
of the National Socialist German Labour Party is futile and, in most cases,
If the reproach should be raised against our Movement that it has
lkisch</i> idea, there is only one answer to give. Not onlyM
have we monopolised the <i>v
lkisch</i> idea but, to all practical intents and
purposes, we have created it, for what hitherto existed under this name was not
in the least capable of influencing the destiny of our people, since all those
ideas lacked a political and coherent formulation.
In most cases, they were nothing but isolated and incoherent notions
which were more or less right. Quite frequently these were in open
contradiction to one another and in no case was there any internal cohesion
<p>Even if this internal cohesion existed it would have been much too weak
to form the basis of any movement. Only the National Socialist Movement
proved capable of fulfilling this task.
All kinds of associations and groups, big as well as small, now claim the
lkisch</i>. This is one result of the work which National Socialism has
done. Without this work, not one of all these parties would have thought of
adopting the word <i>v
That expression wouM
ld have meant nothing to them and especially their
leaders would have had nothing to do with such an idea.
Not until the work of the National Socialist German Labour Party had
given this idea a pregnant meaning did it appear in the mouths of all kinds of people.
Above all, our Party has, by the success of its propaganda, shown the
so much so that the others, in an effort to gain
proselytes, find themselves forced to copy our example, at least in words.
Just as heretofore they exM
ploited everything to serve their petty electoral
purposes, to-day they use the word <i>v
lkisch</i> only as an external and
hollowsounding phrase for the purpose of counteracting the force of the impression
which the National Socialist Party makes on the members of the other parties.
Only the desire to maintain their existence and the fear that our
Movement may prevail, because it is based on a <i>Weltanschauung</i> that is of
universal importance, and because they feel that the exclusive character of our
nt betokens danger for them only for these reasons do they use words
which they repudiated eight years ago, derided seven years ago, branded as
stupid six years ago, combated five years ago, hated four years ago, derided
three years ago and finally, two years ago, annexed and incorporated in their
present political vocabulary, employing them as slogans in their struggle.
For this reason, it is necessary even now, not to cease to call attention to
the fact that not one of those parties has the slightest idea of whatM
nation needs. The most striking proof of this is provided by the superficial way
in which they use the word <i>v
Not less dangerous are those who run about as pseudo-adherents of the
lkisch</i> ideal formulating fantastic schemes which are mostly based on
nothing else than a fixed idea which, in itself, might be right.</p>
<p>But because it is an isolated notion, is of no use whatsoever for the formation of a great
homogeneous fighting associationM
and could by no means serve as the basis of its organisation.
Those people who concoct a programme which consists partly of their
own ideas and partly of ideas filched from others, about which they have read
somewhere, are often more dangerous than the outspoken enemies of the
At best they are sterile theorists, but more frequently they are
mischievous agitators. They believe that they can mask their intellectual vanity,
the futility of their efforts and their lack of ability, by sporting flM
and indulging in ancient Germanic gestures.
In the face of all these futile attempts, it is, therefore, worth while to
recall the time when the new National Socialist Movement began its fight.</p>
<h1 id="chapter-vi-the-first-phase-of-our-strugglethe-significance-of-the-spoken-word">CHAPTER VI: THE FIRST PHASE OF OUR STRUGGLE
THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE SPOKEN WORD</h1>
<p>The echoes of our fM
irst great meeting, in the <i>Festsaal</i> of the Hofbr
on February 24th, 1920, had not yet died away when we began preparations
for our next meeting.
Up to that time we had had to consider carefully the advisability of
holding a small meeting every month, or at most every fortnight, in a city like
Munich; but now it was decided that we should hold a mass meeting every week.
I need not say that on each occasion we anxiously asked ourselves again
and again: Will the people come and will they listen? PersonallM
convinced that if once they came they would remain to listen.
During that period the hall of the Hofbr
uhaus in Munich acquired for us
National Socialists a sort of mystic significance.
Every week there was a meeting, almost always in that hall, and each
time the hall was better filled than on the former occasion, and our public more attentive.
Starting with the theme,
Responsibility for the War,
nobody cared at that time, and passing on to the discussion of the peace
dealt with almost everything that served to stimulate the minds of
our hearers and make them interested in our ideas.
We drew attention to the peace treaties. What the new Movement
prophesied again and again before those great masses of people has been
fulfilled in almost every detail.
To-day it is easy to talk and write about these things, but in those days, to
criticise the Peace Treaty of Versailles at a public mass meeting attended not
by the small bourgeoisie, but by proletarians who had been worked up by
tators, amounted to an attack on the Republic and an evidence of
reactionary, if not of monarchist, tendencies.</p>
<p>The moment one uttered the first criticism of the Versailles Treaty one
could expect an immediate reply, which became almost stereotyped,
about Brest Litovsk?
And then the crowd would murmur and the murmur
would gradually swell to a roar, until the speaker would have to give up his
attempt to persuade them. We felt that we weM
re knocking our heads against a
brick wall, so thoroughly did we despair of such a public. They neither wanted
to be told nor to admit that Versailles was a scandal and a disgrace and that the
dictate signified an act of highway robbery against our people.
The disruptive work done by the Marxists and the poisonous propaganda
of the enemy had robbed these people of their reason.
Nor had we the right to complain, for the guilt on the German side was
enormous. What had the German bourgeoisie done to call a halt to thiM
campaign of disintegration, to oppose it and open a way to a recognition of the
truth by giving, a better and more thorough explanation of the situation than that
given by the Marxists? Nothing at all.
At that time I never saw those who are now the great apostles of the
people. Perhaps they spoke to select groups, at tea-parties of their own little
coteries, but where they ought to have been, where the wolves were at work,
they never dared to appear, unless they found an opportunity of yelling in
As for myself, I then saw clearly that for the small group which first
composed our Movement the question of war-guilt had to be cleared up, and
cleared up in the light of historical truth.
A preliminary condition for the future success of our Movement was that
it should bring knowledge of the meaning of the peace treaties to the minds of
the masses. In the opinion of the masses, the peace treaties then signified a
Therefore, it was necessary to take the opposite side and impreM
ourselves on the minds of the people as the enemies of the peace treaties, so
that later on, when the naked truth of this despicable swindle should be
disclosed in all its hideousness, the people would recall the attitude which we
then took up and would give us their confidence.
Even at that time I adopted the attitude that if public opinion went astray
on important and fundamental questions, it was necessary to oppose it,
regardless of popularity, hatred or the bitterness of the fight.</p>
<p>The National Socialist German Labour Party ought not to be the servant,
but rather the master, of public opinion. It must not serve the masses, but
In the case of every movement, especially during its struggling stages,
there is naturally a temptation to conform to the tactics of an opponent and use
the same battle cries, when his tactics have succeeded in leading the people to
crazy conclusions, or to adopt a mistaken attitude towards the questions at issue.
This temptation is paM
rticularly strong when motives can be found, though
they are entirely illusory, that seem to point towards the same ends at which the
young movement is aiming.
Human poltroonery will then all the more readily adopt those arguments
which give it a semblance of justification,
from its own point of view,
participating in the criminal policy which the adversary is following.
On several occasions, I have experienced such crises, in which the
greatest energy had to be employed to prevent the ship of our MovemenM
being drawn into a general current which had been started artificially, and
indeed from sailing with it.
The last occasion was when our accursed press, to which the existence
of the German nation is unimportant, succeeded in bringing into prominence the
question of South Tyrol which is bound to prove fatal to the interests of the
Without considering what interests they were serving several so-called
men, parties and leagues, joined in the general cry, simply for fear of
pinion which had been excited by the Jews, and foolishly contributed
to help in the struggle against a system which we Germans ought, particularly
in these days, to consider as the one ray of light in this distracted world.
While the international Jew is slowly but surely strangling us, our so-called
patriots vociferate against a man and his system which have had the
courage to liberate themselves from the shackles of Jewish freemasonry, at
least in one quarter of the globe, and to set the forces of national resisM
against the international world poison.</p>
<p>But weak characters were tempted to set their sails according to the
direction of the wind and to capitulate before the storm of public opinion
it was truly a capitulation.
Even if people are so much in the habit of lying and so morally base that
they do not admit it even to themselves, the truth remains that only cowardice
and fear of the public feeling aroused by the Jews induced certain people to
join in the hue and M
All the other reasons put forward were only the miserable excuses of
paltry culprits who were conscious of their own crime.
Then it was necessary to grasp the rudder with an iron hand and turn the
Movement about, so as to save it from a course that would have set it on the rocks.
Certainly, to attempt such a change of course was not a popular
manoeuvre at that time, when public opinion had been fanned by every
conceivable means and its trend was in one direction only.
Such a decision almost always brings disasM
ter on those who dare to take
it. In the course of history not a few men have been stoned for an act for which
posterity has afterwards had reason to thank them on its knees.
But a movement must count on posterity and not on the plaudits of the
moment. It may well be that at such times certain individuals have to endure
hours of anguish, but they should not forget that the moment of liberation will
come and that a movement which purposes to reshape the world must serve the
future and not the passing hour.
onnection it may be asserted that the greatest and most enduring
successes in history are mostly those which were least understood at the
beginning, because they were in direct opposition to public opinion and the
views and wishes of the time.
We had experience of this when we made our own first public
appearance. It can be said in all truth that we did not court public favour, but
made an onslaught on the follies of our people.
In those days what happened almost always was that I presented myself
y of men who believed the opposite of what I wished to say
and who wanted the opposite of what I believed in.</p>
<p>Then I had to spend a couple of hours in convincing two or three
thousand people that the opinions they had hitherto held were false, in
destroying the foundations of their views with one blow after another and
finally in persuading them to take their stand on the grounds of our own
convictions and our <i>Weltanschauung</i>.
I learned something that was importantM
at that time, namely, to snatch
from the hands of the enemy the weapons which he was using in his reply.
I soon noticed that our adversaries, especially in the persons of those
who led the discussion against us, were furnished with a definite repertoire of
arguments out of which they took points against bur claims which they were
constantly repeating.
The uniform character of this mode of procedure pointed to a systematic
and uniform training and so we were able to recognise the incredible way in
s propagandists had been disciplined and I am proud to-day
that I discovered a means not only of making this propaganda ineffective, but of
beating the authors of it at their own game.
Two years later I was master of this art. In every speech which I made it
was important to get a clear idea beforehand of the probable form and matter
of the counter-arguments we had to expect in the discussion, so that in the
course of my own speech these could be dealt with and refuted.
To this end it was necessary to mention all M
the possible objections and
show their inconsistency; it was all the easier to win over an honest listener by
expunging from his memory the arguments which had been impressed upon it,
so that, I anticipated his replies.
What he had learned was refuted without having been mentioned by him
and that made him all the more attentive to what I had to say.
That was the reason why, after my first lecture on
which I delivered to the troops while I was still a political
regiment, I made an alteration in the title and subject and
henceforth spoke on,
The Treaties of Brest-Litovsk and Versailles.
because, during the discussion which followed my first lecture, I quickly
ascertained that in reality people knew nothing about the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk
and that able party propaganda had succeeded in presenting that treaty
as one of the most scandalous acts of violence in the history of the world.</p>
<p>As a result of the persistencM
y with which this falsehood was repeated
again and again to the masses of the people, millions of Germans saw in the
Treaty of Versailles a just retribution for the crime we had committed at Brest-Litovsk.
Thus they considered all opposition to Versailles as unjust and in many
cases there was an honest moral dislike of such a proceeding.
This was also the reason why the shameless and monstrous word
came into common use in Germany. This hypocritical falsehood
appeared to millions of our exasperatedM
fellow-countrymen as the merit of a
higher justice. It is a terrible thought, but the fact was so.
The best proof of this was the propaganda which I initiated against
Versailles by explaining the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk. I compared the two
treaties, point by point, and showed how in truth the one treaty was immensely
humane, in contradiction to the inhuman barbarity of the other.
The effect was very striking. When I used to speak on this theme before
an assembly of two thousand persons, I often saw three thousand M
hostile eyes fixed on me, yet three hours later I had in front of me a crowd
swayed by righteous indignation and fury.
A great lie had been uprooted from the hearts and brains of thousands of
individuals and a truth had been implanted in its place.
The two lectures that
On the Causes of the World War
The Peace Treaties of Brest-Litovsk and Versailles
, I then considered as the
most important, of all.
Therefore, I repeated them dozens of times, always giving them a new
ion, until, on those points at least, there reigned a definitely clear and
unanimous opinion among those from whom our Movement recruited its first members.
Furthermore, these gatherings, had for me the advantage that I slowly
became a platform orator at mass meetings, and they gave me practice in the
pathos and gesture required in large halls that held thousands of people.
Apart from the small circles already mentioned, I could not discover that
the slightest effort was being made by any party to explain things toM
<p>Not one of those parties was then active which talk to-day as if it were
they who had brought about the change in public opinion. If a political leader,
calling himself a nationalist, pronounced a discourse somewhere or other on
this theme it was only to circles which were, for the most part already of his
own conviction and among whom the most that was done was to confirm them
But that was not what was needed then. What was neM
over through propaganda and explanation those who, by education and
conviction, belonged to the enemy camp.
The one-page circular was also adopted by us to help in this
propaganda. While still a soldier I had written a circular in which I contrasted
the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk with that of Versailles.
That circular was printed and distributed in large numbers. Later on I
used it for the Party, and also with good success.
Our first meetings were distinguished by the fact that there were tables
d with leaflets, papers, and pamphlets of every kind, but we relied
principally on the spoken word.
And, indeed this is the only means capable of producing really great
revolutions, which fact can be explained on general psychological grounds.
In the first volume I have already stated that all the formidable events
which have changed the aspect of the world were carried through, not by the
written, but by the spoken word.
On that point there was a long discussion in a certain section of the
press, during the courseM
of which our shrewd bourgeois people strongly
opposed my thesis, but the reason for this attitude confounded the sceptics.
The bourgeois intelligentsia protested against my attitude simply because
they themselves did not have either the force or the ability to influence the
masses through the spoken word, for they always relied exclusively on the help
of writers and did not enter the arena themselves as orators for the purpose of
arousing the people.
This habit necessarily led to that condition of affairs which isM
characteristic of the bourgeoisie to-day, namely, the loss of the psychological
instinct to work up and influence the masses.</p>
<p>An orator receives continuous guidance from the people whom he is
addressing. This helps him to correct the trend of his speech, for he can always
gauge, by the faces of his hearers, how far they follow and understand him, and
whether his words are producing the desired effect.
The writer, on the other hand, does not know his reader at all. ThereM
from the outset, he does not address himself to a definite group of persons
which he has before him, but must write in a general way.
Hence, to a certain extent he must fail in psychological finesse and
flexibility. Therefore, in general it may be said that a brilliant orator writes
better than a brilliant writer can speak, unless the latter has continual practice
in public speaking. One must also remember that of itself the multitude is
mentally inert. It clings to its old habits and is not naturally prone tM
something which does not conform to its own pre-established beliefs or does
not contain what it hopes to find there. Therefore, a piece of writing which has
a particular tendency is for the most part read only by those who are in
sympathy with it. Only a leaflet or a placard, on account of its brevity can hope
to arouse a momentary interest in those whose opinions differ from it.
The picture, in all its forms, including the film has better prospects. Here
less intelligence is required on the part of the audiM
ence, it need only gaze, or at
most read short captions or titles, and so it comes about that many people are
more ready to accept a pictorial presentation than to read a long written description.
A pictorial representation will convey to people much more quickly (one
might almost say, immediately) an idea, to grasp which would require long and
arduous effort if they were forced to read about it.
The most important consideration, however, is that one never knows into
what hands a piece of written material may fall M
and yet the form in which its
subject is presented must remain the same.
In general, the effect is greater when the form of treatment corresponds to
the mental level of the reader and suits his nature.
Therefore, a book which is meant for the broad masses of the people
must try from the very start to gain its effects through a style and level of ideas
which would be quite different from those of a book intended to be read by the
higher intellectual classes.</p>
this capacity for adaptability does the force of the written
word approach that of direct speech. The orator may deal with the same
subject as a book deals with, but if he has the genius of a great and popular
orator he will scarcely ever repeat the same argument or the same material in
the same form on two consecutive occasions.
He will always follow the lead of the great masses in such a way that
from the living emotion of his hearers the apt word which he needs will be
suggested to him and in its turn this will M
go straight to the hearts of his hearers.
Should he make even a slight mistake he has the living correction before
him. As I have already said, he can read the play of expression on the faces of
his hearers, firstly to see if they understand what he says, secondly, to see if
they take in the whole of his argument and, thirdly, to see in how far he has
succeeded in convincing them of the justice of what he has, said.
Should he observe, firstly, that his hearers do not understand him, he will
make his explanation so M
elementary and clear that they will be able to grasp it,
even to the last individual.
Secondly, if he feels that they are not capable of following him he will
make one idea follow another carefully and slowly until the most slow-witted
hearer no, longer lags behind.
Thirdly, as soon as he has the feeling that they do not seem convinced
that he is right in the way he has put things to them he will repeat his argument
over and over again, always giving fresh illustrations and he himself will state
their unspoken objeM
He will repeat these objections, dissecting them and refuting them, until
the last group of the opposition shows him by its behaviour and play of
expression that it has capitulated before his exposition of the case.
Not infrequently it is a case of overcoming ingrained prejudices which
are mostly unconscious and founded on sentiment rather than on reason.
It is a thousand times more difficult to overcome, this barrier of
instinctive aversion, emotional hatred and prejudice than to correct opinions
founded on defective or erroneous knowledge.
False ideas and ignorance may be set aside by means of instruction, but
emotional resistance never can.</p>
<p>Nothing but an appeal to these hidden forces
will be effective here, and that appeal, can be made by scarcely any writer.
Only the orator can hope to make it.
A very striking proof of this is found in the fact that, though we had a
bourgeois press which, in many cases, was well written and produced and had
illions of copies, it could not prevent the broad masses from
becoming the implacable enemies of the bourgeois class.
The deluge of papers and books published by intellectual circles year
after year passed over the minds of millions of the lower social strata as water
This proves that one of two things must be true: either that the matter
offered in the bourgeois press was worthless or that it is impossible to reach
the hearts of the broad masses by means of the written word alone.
se, the latter is essentially true when the written material betrays
as little psychological insight as hitherto.
It is useless to object here, as certain big Berlin papers of German
Nationalist tendencies have attempted to do, that this statement is refuted by the
fact that the Marxists have exercised their greatest influence through their
writings and especially through their principal book, published by Karl Marx.
Seldom has a more superficial attempt been made to support an argument
based on a false assumption.M
What gave Marxism its amazing influence over
the broad masses was not that formal printed work which sets forth the Jewish
system of ideas, but the tremendous oral propaganda carried on for years
Out of one hundred thousand German workers scarcely one hundred
s book. It has been studied much more in intellectual circles and
especially by the Jews than by the genuine followers of the movement who
come from the lower classes.
That work was not written for the masses, but exclusively forM
intellects behind the Jewish machine for conquering the world.
The engine was heated with quite different fuel, namely, the press. What
differentiates the bourgeois press from the Marxist press is that the latter is
written by agitators, whereas the bourgeois press would like to carry on
agitation by means of professional writers.</p>
<p>The Social Democratic editor of some local
comes directly from the meeting to the editorial offices of his pM
job to his finger-tips, but the bourgeois scribbler who wishes to appeal to the
broad masses, feels faint if their stench but reach his delicate nostrils and so he
is naturally powerless to touch them by his writings.
What won over millions of work-people to the Marxist cause was not the
<i>ex cathedra</i> style of the Marxist writers, but the strenuous propaganda work
done by tens of thousands of indefatigable agitators, from the ardent agitator
down to the insignificant trade-union official, the tM
rusty employee and the heckler.
Furthermore, there were the hundreds of thousands of meetings where
these orators, standing on tables in smoky public houses, hammered their ideas
into the heads of the masses, thus acquiring an admirable psychological
knowledge of the human material they had to deal with, and in this way they
were enabled to select the best weapons for their assault on the citadel of
In addition to all this there were the gigantic mass-demonstrations with
processions in which a hundrM
ed thousand persons took part. All this was
calculated to give the petty-hearted individual the proud conviction that, though
a poor worm he was at the same time an integral part of the great dragon
before whose devastating breath the hated bourgeois world would one day be
consumed in fire and flame, and the dictatorship of the proletariat would
celebrate its final victory.
This kind of propaganda influenced men in such a way as to give them a
taste for reading the Social Democratic press and prepare their minds foM
That press, in its turn, was a vehicle of the spoken, rather than of the
written, word. Whereas in the bourgeois camp professors and learned writers,
theorists and authors of, all kinds, made attempts at speaking, in the Marxist
camp real speakers often made attempts at writing.
This applies especially to the Jew who, on account of his dialectical
skill and cunning in distorting the truth, assumes even as an author rather the
guise of an eloquent agitator than of a creative writer.</p>
<p>For this reason the bourgeois press (quite apart from the fact that it is
dominated by the Jew and has, therefore, no interest in enlightening the broad
masses) is not capable of exercising the slightest influence on the opinions held
by the great masses of our people. It is difficult to eradicate emotional
prejudices, psychological bias, feelings, etc., and to put others in their place.
Success depends here on conditions and influences which cannot be gauged.
Only the orator who is giftM
ed with the most sensitive insight can estimate
all this. Even the time of day at which the speech is delivered has a decisive
influence on its effectiveness.
The same speech, made by the same orator and on the same theme, will
have very different results according as it is delivered at ten o
forenoon, at three in the afternoon, or in the evening.
When I first engaged in public speaking I arranged for meetings to take
place in the forenoon and I remember particularly a demonstration that we held
nchner-Kindl-Keller as a protest against the oppression of German minorities.
That was the biggest hall then in Munich and the risk appeared very
great. In order to make the hour of the meeting suitable for all the members of
our Movement and the other people who might come, I fixed it for ten o
on a Sunday morning.
The result was depressing, but it was very instructive. The hall was
filled. The impression was profound, but the general atmosphere was chilly.
Nobody got warmed up and I myself, as the sM
peaker of the occasion, felt
profoundly unhappy at the thought that I could not establish the slightest contact
I do not think I spoke worse than on other occasions, but the effect
seemed absolutely negative. I left the hall in a very depressed frame of mind,
but also feeling that I had gained a new experience. Later on I tried the same
kind of experiment, but always with the same results.
That was not to be wondered at. If one goes to a theatre to see a matinee
performance and, then attends an evM
ening performance of the same play, one is
astounded at the difference in the impression created.
A sensitive person and one who is capable of analysing his own
reactions, will readily acknowledge that the impression created by the matinee
performance is by no means as vivid as that gained at the evening performance.</p>
<p>The same is true of cinema productions.
This latter point is important; for one may say of the theatre that perhaps
in the afternoon the actor does not makeM
the same effort as in the evening, but
surely it cannot be said that the cinema is different in the afternoon from what it
clock in the evening.
In this case, the time of day exercises a distinct influence, just as a room
exercises a distinct influence on me.
There are rooms which leave one cold, for reasons which are difficult to
explain. There are rooms which steadfastly prevent the creation of an
atmosphere of any sort. Moreover, certain memories and traditions which are
present as pictures in thM
e human mind may have a determining influence on the
impression produced.
Thus a performance of Parsifal at Bayreuth will have an effect quite
different from that which the same opera produces in any other part of the world.
The mysterious charm of the House on the
city of the Margrave can neither be equalled nor conjured up by external
surroundings in any other place.
In all these cases one is dealing with the problem of influencing the
freedom of the human will, and that is true M
especially of meetings where there
are men whose wills are opposed to the speaker and who must be brought
round to a new way of thinking.
In the morning and during the day it seems that the rower of the human
will rebels most strongly against any attempt to impose upon it the will or
opinion of another. On the other hand, in the evening it easily succumbs to the
domination of a stronger will, because actually in such assemblies there is a
contest between two opposing forces.
The superior oratorical art of a man whoM
has the compelling character of
an apostle will succeed better in bringing round to a new way of thinking those
who have, in the course of nature, been subjected to a weakening of their
forces of resistance rather than in converting those who are in full possession
of their volitional and intellectual faculties.</p>
<p>The mysterious artificial dimness of the Catholic churches, the burning
candles, the incense, the thurible, etc. also serve this purpose.
In this struggle betweM
en the orator and the opponent whom he must
convert to his cause, the former gradually acquires an awareness of the
psychological fitness of his propaganda weapons, which the writer seldom possesses.
Generally speaking, the effect of the writer
s work helps rather to
conserve, reinforce and deepen the foundations of opinions already formed.
All really great historical revolutions were not produced by the written
word; at most, they were accompanied by it.
It is out of the question to think that the French RevolutM
been carried into effect by philosophising theories had it not been for an army
of agitators headed by demagogues of a pronounced type who inflamed popular
passion that had been already aroused, until that volcanic eruption finally
broke out which convulsed the whole of Europe.
The same is true of the greatest revolutionary movement of our own day,
namely, the Bolshevist Revolution in Russia, which was not the outcome of
s writings, but of the oratorical activities of innumerable agitators, gM
and small, who stirred up hatred.
The masses of illiterate Russians were not fired to communist
revolutionary enthusiasm by reading the theories of Karl Marx, but by the
promises of paradise made to the people by thousands of agitators in the
service of a single idea. It has always been so, and it always will be so.
It is typical of our pig-headed intellectuals, who live apart from the
practical world, to think that a writer must of necessity be superior in
intelligence to an orator.
This point of view was oncM
e effectively illustrated by a critique,
published in a certain national paper which I have already mentioned, where it
was stated that one is often disillusioned by reading the speech of an
acknowledged great orator in print.
That reminded me of another article which fell into my hands during the
War. It dealt with the speeches of Lloyd George, who was then Minister of
Munitions, and examined them in a painstaking way under the microscope of criticism.</p>
<p>The writer made tM
he brilliant statement that these speeches showed
inferior intelligence and learning and that, moreover, they were banal and
commonplace productions.
I happened to get hold of some of these speeches, published in pamphlet
form, and had to laugh at the fact that an ordinary German quill-driver did not
in the least understand these psychological masterpieces in the art of
influencing the masses.
This man criticised these speeches solely according to the impression
they made on his own arrogant mind, whereas the one aM
im of the great British
demagogue was to produce the maximum effect upon his audiences and, in the
widest sense, on the lower classes throughout the length and breadth of, Britain.
Looked at from this point of view, that British statesman
most wonderful achievements, precisely because they showed an astounding
knowledge of the mentality of the broad masses of the people. For that reason
their effect was really overwhelming.
Compare with them the futile stammerings of a Bethmann-Hollweg. On
s speeches were undoubtedly more intellectual, but they
actually proved the man
s inability to speak to his own people, whom he did
Nevertheless to the stupid average brain of the German writer, who had,
of course amassed a great deal of learning, it seemed only natural to judge the
speeches of the British statesman
which were made for the purpose of
influencing the masses
by the impression which they made on his own mind,
fossilised as it was by learning and to compare them M
to the brilliant but futile
talk of the German statesman, which of course had a greater appeal for him.
That the genius of Lloyd George was not only equal, but a thousand-fold
superior to that of a Bethmann-Hollweg, is proved by the fact that he found for
his speeches that form and expression which opened the hearts of his people to
him and made that people carry out his will absolutely.
The primitive quality of these speeches, the originality of his
expressions, his choice of clear and simple illustration, prove tM
political capacity of the British spokesman.</p>
<p>One must never judge the speech of a statesman to his people by the
impression which it leaves on the mind of a university professor, but by the
effect it produces on the public, and this is the sole criterion of the orator
The astonishing development of our Movement, which was created out
of nothing a few years ago and is to-day singled out for persecution by all the
internal and external enemies of ouM
r nation, must be attributed to the constant
recognition and practical application of those principles.
However important the literature of the Movement may be, it is,
nevertheless, at present more important as a means of providing leaders of the
upper, as well as of the lower grades, with a uniform course of instruction,
than for the purpose of converting antagonistic masses.
It was only in very rare cases that a convinced and devoted Social
Democrat or Communist was induced to gain an insight into our
hauung</i> or to study a criticism of his own by procuring and reading
one of our pamphlets or even one of our books.
Even a newspaper is rarely read if it does not bear the stamp of party
opinions. Moreover, the reading of newspapers helps little, because the
general picture given by a single number of a newspaper is so confused and
produces such a fragmentary impression that it really does not influence the
Where a man has to count his pennies, it cannot be assumed that,
exclusively for the purM
pose of being objectively informed, he will become a
regular reader or subscriber to a paper which opposes his views. Scarcely one
man in ten thousand will do this.
Only after he has already joined a movement will he regularly read the
party organ of that movement, more especially for the purpose of keeping
himself informed of what is happening in the movement.
It is quite different with the
leaflet. Especially if it be
distributed gratis it will be taken up by one person or another, all the more
ngly if its display title refers to a question about which everybody is
talking at the moment.
Perhaps someone after having read through such a leaflet more or less
carefully, will have his eyes opened to the existence of new points of view, a
new mental attitude, and even a new movement.</p>
<p>But, at best, this will only serve as a slight impulse and will not
establish a firm conviction, because the leaflet can do no more than arouse
interest and attract attention, and can oM
nly be effective if the reader
subsequently gains more definite and thorough information, the only road to
which is via the mass meeting.
Mass meetings are also necessary for the reason that, in attending them,
the individual who, about to join the new movement, feels himself alone and is
easily scared of acting singularly acquires for the first time the feeling of a
great community, which has a strengthening and encouraging effect on most
The same man will, as a member of a company or battalion, surroundedM
by his companions, march with a lighter heart to the attack than if he had to
march alone. In the crowd he feels himself in some way sheltered, though in
reality there are a thousand arguments against such a feeling.
Mass demonstrations on a grand scale not only reinforce the will of the
individual, but they draw him still closer to the movement and help to create an
<i>esprit de corps</i>.
The man who appears as the first representative of a new doctrine in his
place of business or in his factory is bound to haveM
to face obstacles and has
need of that strength which comes from the consciousness that he is a member
of a great community, and only a mass demonstration can impress upon him the
greatness of this community.
If, on leaving the shop or mammoth factory, in which he feels very small
indeed, he enters a cast assembly for the first time and sees around him
thousands upon thousands of men who hold the same opinions;</p>
<li>if, while still seeking his way, he is gripped by the force of mass
suggestion which comes M
from the excitement and enthusiasm of three or four
thousand other men in whose midst he finds himself; and</li>
<li>if the manifest success and the consensus of thousands confirm the truth
and justice of the new teaching and for the first time raise in his mind doubt as
to the truth of the opinions held by himself up to now, then he submits himself
to the fascination of what we call mass suggestion.</li>
<p>The will, the yearning and indeed the strength of thousands of people are
in each individual. A man whM
o enters such a meeting in doubt and hesitation
leaves it inwardly fortified; he has become a member of a community.</p>
<p>The National Socialist Movement should never forget this, and it should
never allow itself to be influenced by those bourgeois blockhead, who think
they know everything, but who have foolishly gambled away a great State,
together with their own existence and the supremacy of their own class.
They are extraordinarily clever, they can do everything, and theyM
everything, but there was one thing which they failed to do, namely, to save the
German people from falling into the clutches of Marxism.
In that they failed miserably and their present high opinion of their
prowess is mere conceit, for their pride and their stupidity are fruits of the
If these people try to disparage the importance of the spoken word to-day,
they do it only because they realise
how futile all their
own speechifying has been.</p>

<h1 id="chapter-vi-war-propaganda">CHAPTER VI: WAR PROPAGANDA</h1>
<p>In watching the course of political events I was always struck by the
active part which propaganda played in them. I saw that it was an instrument
which the Marxist Socialists knew how to handle in a masterly, way and to put
to good practical use.
Thus I soon came to realise that the right use of propaganda was an art in
itself, and that this art was practically unknown to our bourgeois parties. The
Socialist Party alone, especially in Lueger
s time, showed a certain
efficiency in the employment of this instrument and owed much of their success
It was during the War, however, that we had the best chance of estimating
the tremendous results which could be obtained by a propaganda system
properly carried out.
Here again, unfortunately, everything was left to the other side, the work
done on our side being worse than insignificant. It was the total failure of the
whole German system of information
ailure which was perfectly obvious
that urged me to consider the problem of propaganda in a
I had ample opportunity to learn a practical lesson in this matter, for
unfortunately it was only too well taught us by the enemy. The lack on our side
was exploited by the enemy in such an efficient manner that one could say it
showed itself as a real work of genius.
In that propaganda carried on by the enemy I found admirable sources of
instruction. The lesson to be learned from this hM
ad, unfortunately, no attraction
for the geniuses on our own side. They were simply above all such things, too
clever to accept any teaching and, in any case, they did not honestly wish to
Had we any propaganda at all? Alas, I can reply only in the negative. All
that was undertaken in this direction, was so utterly inadequate and
misconceived from the very beginning, that not only did it prove useless, but at
times harmful. In substance, it was insufficient. Psychologically, it was all wrong.</p>
<p>Anybody who had carefully investigated the German propaganda must
have formed that judgment of it. Our authorities did not seem to be clear even
about the primary question as to whether propaganda is a means or an end.
Propaganda is a means and must, therefore, be judged in relation to the
end it is intended to serve. It must be organised in such a way as to be capable
of attaining its objective, and, as it is quite clear that the importance of the
objective may vary from the M
standpoint of general necessity, the essential
internal character of the propaganda must vary accordingly.
The cause for which we fought during the War was the noblest and
highest that man could strive for. We were fighting for the freedom and
independence of our country, for the security of our future welfare and the
honour of the nation.
Despite all views to the contrary, this honour does actually exist, or
rather it ought to exist, for a nation without honour will sooner or later lose its
freedom and independencM
e. This is in accordance with the ruling of a higher
justice, for a generation of poltroons is not entitled to freedom. He who would
be a cowardly slave cannot have honour; for such honour would soon become
an object of general scorn.
Germany was waging war for her very existence. The purpose of her
war propaganda should have been to strengthen the fighting spirit in that
struggle and help her to victory.
But when nations are fighting for their existence on this earth, when the
has to be answered, then all humane and
aesthetic considerations must be set aside, for these ideals do not exist of
themselves somewhere in the air, they are the product of man
imagination and will disappear when he disappears from the face of the earth.
Nature knows nothing of them.
Moreover, they are characteristic of only a small number of nations, or
rather of races, and their value depends on the measure in which they spring
from the racial feeling of the latter. Humane and aesthetic idealsM
from the inhabited earth when those races disappear which have been their
creators and champions.
All such ideals are only of secondary importance when a nation is
struggling for its existence. They must be prevented from entering into the
struggle the moment they threaten to weaken the stamina of the nation that is
<p>That is always the only visible effect whereby their place in the
struggle is to be judged.
In regard to the part played by humanM
e feeling, Moltke said that in time
of war the essential thing is to get a decision as quickly as possible and that the
most ruthless methods of fighting are, at the same time, the most humane.
When people attempt to answer this reasoning by high-faluting talk about
aesthetics, etc., only one answer can be given, namely, that the vital questions
involved in the struggle of a nation for its existence must not be subordinated to
any aesthetic considerations. The yoke of slavery is, and always will remain,
aesthetic experience that mankind can endure. Do the Schwabing
decadents look upon Germany
? Of course, one does
not discuss such a question with the Jews, because they are the modern
inventors of this cultural perfume. Their very existence is an incarnate denial
of the beauty of God
s image in His creation.
Since these ideas of what is beautiful and humane have no place in
warfare, they are not to be used as standards of war propaganda. During the
war, propaganda was a means to aM
n end, and this end was the German nation
struggle for existence.
Propaganda, therefore, should have been regarded from the standpoint of
its utility for that purpose. The cruellest weapons were then the most humane,
provided they helped towards a speedier decision; and only those methods
were good and beautiful which helped towards securing the dignity and
freedom of the nation.
Such was the only possible attitude to adopt towards war propaganda in
that life-and-death struggle. If those in what are called posiM
had realised this, there would have been no uncertainty about the form and
employment of war propaganda as a weapon, for it is nothing but a weapon,
and indeed a most terrifying weapon in the hands of those who know how to
The second question of decisive importance is this: To whom should
propaganda be made to appeal? To the educated intellectual classes? Or to the
Propaganda must always address itself to the broad masses of the people.</p>
<p>Propaganda is not meant for the intellectual classes, or what we call
the intellectual classes to-day, which demand scientific enlightenment.
Propaganda has as little to do with science as an advertisement poster
has to do with art, as far as concerns the form in which it presents its message.
The art of the advertisement poster consists in the ability of the designer to
attract the attention of the crowd through the form and colours he chooses.
The advertisement poster announcing an exhibition of art hM
aim than to convince the public of the importance of the exhibition. The better
it does that, the better the art of the poster as such.
Although its purpose is to impress upon the public the importance of the
exhibition, the poster can never take the place of the artistic objects displayed
in the exhibition hall. They are something entirely different.
Therefore, those who wish to study art must study something that is quite
different from the poster; indeed for that purpose they must do more than
wander through the exhibition galleries. The student of art must
carefully and thoroughly study each exhibition in order slowly to form a
judicious opinion on it.
The situation is the same in regard to what we understand by the word
The purpose of propaganda is not the scientific instruction of the
individual, but rather to attract public attention to certain facts, events, urgent
needs, and so on, the importance of which can be brought home to the masses
Here the art of propaM
ganda consists in putting a matter so clearly and
forcibly before the minds of the people as to create a general conviction
regarding the reality of a certain fact, the necessity of certain things and the
imperativeness of something that is essential.
As this art is not an end in itself and because its purpose must be exactly
that of the advertisement poster, to attract the attention of the masses and not by
any means to dispense individual instructions to those who already have an
educated opinion on things, or whM
o wish to form such an opinion on grounds of
objective study (because that is not the purpose of propaganda), it must appeal
to the feelings of the public rather than to their reasoning powers.
All propaganda must be presented in a popular form and must fix its
intellectual level so as not to be above the heads of the least intellectual of
those at whom it is directed.</p>
<p>Thus, the larger the public to which its appeal is
directed, the lower its purely intellectual level wiM
When it is a question of bringing a whole nation within the circle of its
influence, as happens in the case of war propaganda, then too much attention
cannot be paid to the necessity of avoiding a high level, which presupposes a
relatively high degree of intelligence among the public.
The more modest the scientific level of this propaganda and the more it
is addressed exclusively to public sentiment, the more decisive will be its
success, which is the best test of the value of a piece of propaganda, M
the approbation of a small group of intellectuals or artistic people.
The art of propaganda consists precisely in being able to awaken the
imagination of the public through an appeal to its feelings, in finding the
appropriate psychological form that will arrest the attention and appeal to the
hearts of the broad masses.
That this is not understood by those among us whose wits are supposed
to have been sharpened to the highest pitch, is only another proof of their
vanity or mental inertia.
rstood how necessary it is to concentrate the
persuasive forces of propaganda on the broad masses of the people, we can
subscribe to the theory that it is a mistake to try to lend propaganda the manysidedness of scientific instruction.
The receptive powers of the masses are very restricted, and their power
of understanding is slight. On the other hand, they quickly forget. Such being
the case, all effective propaganda must be confined to a few bare essentials,
and these must be expressed as far as possible in stereM
otyped formulas. These
slogans should be persistently repeated until the very last individual has come
to grasp the idea that has been put forward. If this principle be forgotten, and if
an attempt be made to be abstract and general, the propaganda will turn out
ineffective, for the public will not be able to digest or retain what is offered to
Therefore, the greater the scope of the message that has to be presented,
the more necessary is it for propaganda to choose that plan of action which is
ychologically the most efficient.</p>
<p>It was, for example, a fundamental mistake to ridicule the enemy, as the
Austrian and German comic papers made a point of doing in their propaganda.
The very principle here is a mistaken one, for, when they came face to face
with the enemy, our soldiers gained quite a different impression.
Therefore, the mistake had disastrous results. Once the German soldier
realised what a tough enemy he had to fight, he felt that he had been deceived
by the manufacturer of the information which had been given him. Therefore,
instead of strengthening and stimulating his fighting spirit, this information had
quite the contrary effect and, finally, he lost heart.
On the other hand, British and American war propaganda was
psychologically efficient. By picturing the Germans to their own people as
barbarians and Huns, they were preparing their soldiers for the horrors of war
and safeguarding them against delusion.
The most terrific weapons which those soldiers encounM
merely confirmed the information they had already received, and their belief in
the truth of the assertions made by their respective governments was
accordingly reinforced. Thus their rage and hatred against the infamous foe
The terrible havoc caused by the German weapons of war was only
another illustration of the Hunnish brutality of those barbarians, whereas, on
the side of the Entente, no time was left for the soldiers to meditate on the
similar havoc of which their own weaponsM
Thus the British soldier was never allowed to feel that the information
which he received at home was untrue.
Unfortunately, the opposite was the case with the Germans, who finally
wound up by rejecting everything from home as pure swindle and humbug.
This was possible because at home they thought that the work of
propaganda could be entrusted to the first ass that came along, or even to
someone who was fairly intelligent in other respects, and they had no
conception of the fact that propaganda demanM

Thus German war propaganda afforded us an incomparable example of

was the result of an entire failure to take into account any psychological
considerations whatsoever.</p>
<p>From the enemy, however, a fund of valuable knowledge could be gained
by those, who kept their eyes open, whose powers of preception had not yet
become dimmed, and who during four-anM
d-a-half years had to experience the
perpetual flood of enemy propaganda.
The worst thing of all was that our people did not understand the very
first condition which has to be fulfilled in every kind of propaganda, namely, a
systematically one sided attitude towards every problem that has to be dealt
In this respect, so many errors were committed, even from the very
beginning of the war, that it was justifiable to doubt whether so much folly
could be attributed solely to the stupidity of people in higher quaM
What, for example, should we say of a poster which purported to
advertise some new brand of soap by insisting on the excellent qualities of the
competitive brands? We should naturally shake our heads, and the same is true
of political advertisement.
The aim of propaganda is not to try to pass judgment on conflicting
rights, giving each its due, but exclusively to emphasise the right which we
Propaganda must not investigate the truth objectively and, in so far as it
is favourable to the other M
side, present it according to the theoretical rules of
justice, but it must present only that aspect of the truth which is favourable to
It was a fundamental mistake to discuss the question of who was
responsible for the outbreak of the war and to declare that the sole
responsibility could not be attributed to Germany. The sole responsibility
should have been laid on the shoulders of the enemy, even had this not been
strictly true, as indeed it was.
What was the consequence of these half-measures? TheM
the people are not made up of diplomats or professors of public jurisprudence
nor simply of persons who are able to form reasoned judgment in given cases,
but they are a vacillating crowd of human children who are constantly
wavering between one idea and another.
As soon as our own propaganda made the slightest suggestion that the
enemy had a certain amount of justice on his side, then we laid down the basis
on which the justice of our own cause could be questioned.</p>
<p>The masses are not in a position to discern where the enemy
and where our own begins. In such a case, they become hesitant and distrustful,
especially when the enemy does not make the same mistake, but heaps all the
blame on his adversary.
Could there be any clearer proof of this than the fact that finally our own
people believed what was said by the enemy
s propaganda, which was
uniform and consistent in its assertions, rather than in our own propaganda?
This disbelief was, of course,M
increased by the mania for objectivity
which afflicts our people. Everybody began to be careful about doing an
injustice to the enemy, even at the cost of seriously injuring, and even ruining,
his own people and State.
Naturally, the masses were not conscious of the fact that those in
authority had failed to study the subject from this angle.
The great majority of a nation is so feminine in its character and outlook
that its thought and conduct are ruled by sentiment rather than by sober
however, is not complex, but simple and consistent. It is
not highly differentiated, but has only the negative and positive notions of love
and hatred, right and wrong, truth and falsehood. Its notions are never partly
this and partly that.
Those responsible for English propaganda, especially understood this in
a marvellous degree and put what they understood into practice. They allowed
no half-measures, which might have given rise to doubt.
Proof of how brilliantly they understood that the feeling of the masses iM
something primitive was shown in their policy of publishing tales of horror
and outrages which fitted in with the real horrors of the time, thereby cleverly
and ruthlessly preparing the ground for moral solidarity at the front, even in
times of great defeats.
Further, the way in which they pilloried the German enemy as solely
responsible for the war
which was a brutal and absolute falsehood
way in which they proclaimed his guilt was excellently calculated to reach the
masses, realising that these are M
always extremist in their feeling.</p>
<p>Thus it was that this atrocious lie was positively believed.
The effectiveness of this kind of propaganda is well illustrated by the
fact that after four-and-a-half years, the enemy was not only still carrying on
his propagandist work, but it was already undermining the stamina of our
people at home. That our propaganda did not achieve similar results is not to
be wondered at, because it contained the germs of inefficiency by reason of M
ambiguity, and because of the very nature of its contents one could not expect it
to make the necessary impression on the masses.
could have imagined that the enthusiasm
which is necessary to kindle that spirit which leads men to die for their country
could be nourished on pacifist
of this kind, and so this product of ours
was not only worthless but detrimental.
No matter what the amount of talent employed in the organisation of
propaganda, it will have no result ifM
due account is not taken of one
fundamental principle.
Propaganda must be limited to a few simple themes and these must be
presented again and again. Here, as in innumerable other cases, perseverance
is the first and most important condition of success. Particularly in the field of
propaganda, placid aesthetes and blas
intellectuals should never be allowed
to take the lead. The former would readily transform the impressive character
of real propaganda into something suitable only for literary tea-parties.
the second class of persons, one must always beware of this pest;
for, in consequence of their insensibility to normal impressions, they are
constantly seeking fresh thrills.
Such people grow sick and tired of everything. They always long for
change and will always be incapable of putting themselves in the position of
picturing the wants of their less callous fellow-creatures in their immediate
neighbourhood, let alone trying to understand them.
intellectuals are always the first to criticise propaganda,M
rather its message, because this appears to them to be out-moded and trivial.
They are always looking for something new, always yearning for change, and
thus they become the mortal enemies of every effort that is made to influence
the masses in an effective way.</p>
<p>The moment the organisation and message of a propaganda movement
begins to be orientated according to their tastes, it becomes incoherent and scattered.
It is not the purpose of propaganda to provide a seriesM
view to pleasing these blas
gentry. Its chief function is to convince the
masses, whose slowness of understanding needs to be given time in order that
they may absorb information; and only constant repetition will finally succeed
in imprinting an idea on the memory of the crowd.
Any variation must not alter the main theme of the propaganda, but must
always emphasise the same point. The slogan must, of course, be illustrated in
many ways and from several angles, but in the end the stress must alM
laid on the, slogan itself. In this way alone can propaganda be consistent and
dynamic in its effects.
Only by following these general lines and sticking to them steadfastly,
with uniform and concise emphasis, can final success be reached. Then we
shall be rewarded by the surprising and almost incredible results that such a
persistent policy secures. The success of any advertisement, whether of a
business or a political nature, depends on the consistency and perseverance
with which it is employed.
espect also, the propaganda organised by our enemies set us an
excellent example. It confined itself to a few themes, which were meant
exclusively for mass consumption, and it repeated these themes with untiring perseverance.
Once these fundamental themes and the manner of placing them before
the world were recognised as effective, they adhered to them without the
slightest alteration for the whole duration of, the war. At first, all of it
appeared to be idiotic in its impudent assertiveness.
Later on, it was lookeM
d upon as disturbing, but finally it was believed.
Four-and-a-half years later, a revolution, the slogans of which were borrowed
from enemy war-time propaganda, broke out in Germany.
In England they came to understand something else, namely, that the
possibility of success in the use of this spiritual weapon consists in the mass
employment of it, and that, when employed in this way, it brings full returns for
the large expense incurred.</p>
<p>In England propaganda was regardedM
as a weapon of the first order, whereas with us it
represented the last hope of a livelihood for our
unemployed politicians and a snug job for shirkers of the modest heroic type.
Taken all in all, its results were negative.</p>
<h1 id="chapter-vii-the-revolution-in-1918">CHAPTER VII: THE REVOLUTION IN 1918</h1>
<p>The enemy started his propaganda among our soldiers. From 1916
onwards it steadily becameM
more intensive, and at the beginning of 1918 it had
swollen into a storm-flood. One could now judge the effects of this
proselytizing movement step by step.
Gradually, our soldiers began to think just in the way the enemy wished
them to think. On the German side there was no counter-propaganda.
At that time, they army authorities, under our able and resolute
Commander were willing and ready to take up the fight in the propaganda
domain also, but unfortunately, they did not have the necessary means of
intention into effect.
Moreover, the army authorities would have made a psychological
mistake had they undertaken this task of mental training.
To be effective, it had to come from the home front, for only thus could it
be successful among men who for nearly four years now had been performing
immortal deeds of heroism and undergoing all sorts of privations for the sake
But what were the people at home doing? Was their failure to act due
merely to lack of intelligence or bad faith?
In the summer of 19M
18, after the evacuation of the southern bank of the
Marne, the German press adopted a policy which was so woefully
inopportune, and even criminally stupid, that I daily and with growing fury
used to ask myself the question,
Is it really true that we have nobody who
dares to put an end to this process of spiritual sabotage which is being carried
on among our heroic troops?
What happened in France during those days of 1914, when our armies
invaded that country and were marching in triumph from one victory to aM
What happened in Italy when the Italian armies collapsed on the Isonzo
front? What happened in France again during the spring of 1918, when German
divisions took the main French positions by storm and heavy long-distance
artillery bombarded Paris?</p>
<p>How enemy propaganda whipped up the flagging courage of those troops
who were retreating and fanned the fires of national enthusiasm among them!
How their propaganda and their marvellous aptitude in the exercise of massM
reawakened the fighting spirit in that broken front and hammered into
the heads of the soldiers a firm belief in final victory!
Meanwhile, what were our people doing in this sphere? Nothing, or even
worse than nothing. Again and again. I used to become enraged and indignant
as I read the latest papers and realised the nature of the mass-murder they were
committing through their influence on the minds of the people and the soldiers.
More than once, I was tormented by the thought that, if Providence had
ut the conduct of German propaganda into my hands, instead of into the hands
of those incompetent and even criminal ignoramuses and weaklings, the
outcome of the struggle might have been different.
During those months, I felt, for the first time that Fate was dealing
adversely with me in keeping me on the fighting front and in a position where
any chance bullet from some Negro
s rifle might finish me, whereas I could
have done the Fatherland a real service in another sphere, for I was then
presumptuous enough to M
believe that I would have been successful in managing
the propaganda business.
But I was unknown, one among eight millions. Hence, it was better for
me to keep my mouth shut and do my duty as well as I could, in the position to
which I had been assigned.
In the summer of 1915, the first enemy leaflets were dropped on our
trenches. They all told more or less the same story, with some variations in the
<li>Distress was steadily on the increase in Germany; that the war would lM
ast indefinitely;</li>
<li>That the prospect of victory for us was becoming fainter day by day; that the people at home were yearning for peace, but that
and the Kaiser would not permit it;</li>
<li>That the world was not waging war against the German people but only against the man who was exclusively responsible, the Kaiser;</li>
<li>That until this enemy of world-peace was removed there could be no end to the conflict;</li>
<li>But that, when the war was over, the Liberal and democratic nations M
would receive the Germans as collaborators in the League for World Peace.</li>
<p>This would be done the moment
had been finally destroyed.
To illustrate and substantiate all these statements, the leaflets very often
the contents of which appeared to confirm the
s propaganda message.
Generally speaking, we only laughed at all these efforts. The leaflets
were read, sent to base headquarters, then forgotteM
n until a favourable wind
once again blew a fresh consignment into the trenches. These were mostly
dropped from aeroplanes which were used specially for that purpose.
One feature of this propaganda was very striking, namely, that in sections
where Bavarian troops were stationed, every effort was made by the enemy
propagandists to stir up feeling against the Prussians, assuring the soldiers that
Prussia, and Prussia alone, was the guilty party, who was responsible for
bringing on and continuing the war, and that theM
re was no hostility whatsoever
towards the Bavarians, but that there could be no possibility of coming to their
assistance so long as they continued to serve Prussian militarism and helped to
Prussian chestnuts out of the fire.
This persistent propaganda began to have a real influence on our
soldiers in 1915. The feeling against Prussia grew quite noticeable among the
Bavarian troops, but those in authority did nothing to counteract it.
This was something more than a mere crime of omission, for sooneM
later, not only the Prussians were bound to have to atone severely for it, but the
whole German nation, and consequently the Bavarians themselves also. In this
direction the enemy propaganda began to achieve undoubted success from
1916 onwards. In a similar way letters coming directly from home had long
since been exercising their effect. There was now no further necessity for the
enemy to broadcast such letters in leaflet form.
The Government did nothing to counteract this influence from home
a few supremely stupid
<p>The whole front was
drenched in this poison which thoughtless women at home sent out, without
suspecting for a moment that the enemy
s chances of final victory were thus
being strengthened or that the sufferings of their own men at the front were thus
being prolonged and rendered more severe.
These stupid letters written by German women eventually cost the lives
of hundreds of thousands of our men.
Thus in 1916 several distressingM
phenomena were already manifest. The
whole front was complaining and
discontented over many things
and often justifiably so. While they were hungry and yet patient, and their
relatives at home were in distress, in other quarters there was feasting and
revelry. Even at the front itself everything was not as it ought to have been in
Even in the early stages of the War the soldiers were sometimes prone to
complain, but such criticism was of a domestic nature. The man who at one
oused and grumbled ceased his murmur after a few moments and
went about his duty silently, as if this were a matter of course.
The company which had given signs of discontent a moment earlier hung
on now to its bit of trench, defending it tooth and nail, as if Germany
depended on those few hundred yards of mud, and shell-holes. The glorious old
Army was still at its post.
A sudden change in my own fortunes soon placed me in a position where
I had first-hand experience of the sharp contrast between this oldM
At the end of September 1916 my division was sent into the Battle of the
Somme. For us, this was the first of a series of heavy engagements, and the
impression created was that of a veritable inferno, rather than war. Through
weeks of incessant artillery bombardment we stood firm, at times ceding a
little ground but then taking it again, and never giving way.
On October 7th, I was wounded, but had the luck to be able to get back
to our lines and was then ordered to be sent by ambulance-traM
Two years had passed since I had left home, an almost endless period in
such circumstances. I could hardly imagine what Germans looked like except
in uniform. In the clearing hospital at Hermies, I was startled when I suddenly
heard the voice of a German woman who was acting as nursing sister and
talking with one of the wounded men lying near me.</p>
<p>To hear such a voice for the first time in two years!
The nearer our ambulance-train approached the German fronM
more restless each one of us became. En route we recognised all these places
through which we had passed two years before as young volunteers
and finally we thought we recognised the first German
homestead, with its familiar high gables and picturesque window-shutters.
In October 1914, our hearts had been afire with wild enthusiasm as we
crossed this frontier. Now silence and profound emotion reigned supreme.
Each one was happy to think that Fate had permitted him to seeM
again this lend for the protection of which he had offered his life, and each one
was almost ashamed to allow the other to see his eyes.
Almost on the second anniversary of my departure for the front I entered
the hospital at Beelitz, near Berlin.
What a change! From the mud of the Somme battlefields to the spotless
white beds in this wonderful building! One hesitated at first before entering
them. It was only by slow stages that one could grow accustomed to this new
world again, but, unfortunately, there werM
e certain other respects in which this
new world was different.
The spirit of the Army at the front appeared to be out of place here. For
the first time I encountered something which up to then was unknown at the
front, namely, boasting of one
s own cowardice, for, though we certainly heard
complaining and grousing at the front, this was never in the spirit of any
agitation to insubordination and certainly not an attempt to glorify one
Out there at the front a coward was a coward and nothing else, and tM
contempt which his weakness aroused in others was general, just as the real
hero was admired all round. But here in hospital the spirit was quite different
Loud-mouthed agitators were busy here in heaping ridicule on the good
soldier and painting the weak-kneed poltroon in glorious colours. A couple of
miserable human specimens were the ringleaders in this process of defamation.
One of them boasted of having intentionally injured his hand on barbed
wire entanglements in order to get sent to hosM
<p>Although his wound was only a slight one, it appeared that he had been
here for a very long time and
would manage to remain here indefinitely, just as he had managed to get sent
here in the ambulance-train through swindling.
This pestilential specimen actually had the audacity to parade his
knavery as the manifestation of a courage which was superior to that of the
brave soldier who dies a hero
There were many who heard this talk in silence, but there M
who expressed their assent to what the fellow said.
Personally I was disgusted at the thought that a seditious agitator of this
kind should be allowed to remain in such an institution.
What could be done? The hospital authorities here must have known who
and what he was, and actually they did know, but still they did nothing about it.
As soon as I was able to walk once again I obtained leave to visit Berlin.
Bitter want was in evidence everywhere. The metropolis, with its teeming
millions, was sufferingM
Discontent was rife. The talk that was current in the various places of
refreshment and in the hospices frequented by the soldiers was much the same
as that in our hospital. The impression gained was that these fellows purposely
singled out such places in order to spread their views.
In Munich conditions were far worse. After my discharge from hospital I
was sent to a reserve battalion there. I felt as if I were in some strange town.
Anger, discontent, complaints met one
s ears wherever one went. ThM
morale of the men in the reserve battalion itself was indescribably bad.
To a certain extent this was due to the infinitely maladroit manner in
which the soldiers who had returned from the front were treated by the
instructors who had never seen a day
s active service and who, on that
account, were partly incapable of adopting the proper attitude towards the old soldiers.
Naturally those old soldiers displayed certain characteristics which had
been developed from the experience; in the trenches.
the reserve units could not understand these peculiarities,
whereas the officer home from active service was at least in a position to
understand them for himself.</p>
<p>As a result he received more respect from the men than officers at the
home headquarters. But, apart from all this, the general spirit was deplorable.
The art of shirking was looked upon almost as a proof of superior
intelligence, and devotion to duty was considered a sign of weakness or stupidity.
strative offices were staffed by Jews. Almost every clerk
was a Jew and every Jew was a clerk. I was amazed at this multitude of
, who belonged to the chosen race, and could not help comparing it
with their slender numbers in the fighting lines.
In the business world the situation was even worse. Here the Jews had
Like leeches, they were slowly sucking the
blood from the pores of the national body.
By means of newly-floated war-companies an instrument had been
overed whereby all national trade was throttled, so that no business could
be carried on freely.
Special emphasis was laid on the necessity for unhampered
centralisation. Hence, as early as 1916
17, practically all production was
under the control of Jewish finance.
But against whom was the anger of the people directed? It was then, that
I already saw the fateful day approaching which must finally bring the d
unless timely preventive measures were taken.
While Jewry was busy despoiling the nation and tigM
htening the screws of
its despotism, the work of inciting the people against the Prussians was
intensified and just as nothing was done at the front to put a stop to this
venomous propaganda, so here at home no official steps were taken against it.
Nobody seemed capable of understanding that the collapse of Prussia
could never bring about the rise of Bavaria. On the contrary, the collapse of the
one must necessarily drag the other down with it.
This kind of behaviour affected me very deeply. In it I could see only M
clever Jewish trick for diverting public attention from themselves to others.
While Prussians and Bavarians were squabbling, the Jews were taking away
the sustenance of both from under their very noses.</p>
<p>While Prussians were being
abused in Bavaria, the Jews organised the revolution and with one stroke
smashed both Prussia and Bavaria.
I could not tolerate this execrable squabbling among people of the same
German stock and preferred to be at the front once again. TherefM
my arrival in Munich I reported myself for service again. At the beginning of
March 1917, I rejoined my old regiment at the front.
Towards the end of 1917 it seemed as if we had got over the worst
phases of moral depression at the front. After the Russian collapse the whole
Army recovered its courage and hope, and all were gradually becoming more
and more convinced that the struggle would end in our favour. We could sing
once again. The ravens were ceasing to croak. Faith in the future of the
land was once more in the ascendant. The Italian collapse in the autumn
of 1917 had a wonderful effect, for this victory proved that it was possible to
bleak through another, front besides the Russian.
This inspiring thought now became dominant in the minds of millions at
the front and encouraged them to look forward with confidence to the spring of 1918.
It was quite obvious that the enemy was in a state of depression.
During this winter the front was somewhat quieter than usual, but that
was the lull before the sM
torm. Just when preparations were being made to
launch a final offensive which would bring this seemingly eternal struggle to an
end, while endless columns of transports were bringing men and munitions to
the front, and while the men were being trained for that final onslaught, then it
was that the greatest act of treachery during the whole War was accomplished
Germany must not win the war. At that moment when victory seemed
ready to alight on the German standards, a conspiracy was arranged for the
ose of striking at the heart of the Germany spring offensive with one blow
from the rear and thus making victory impossible.
A general strike was organised in the munitions factories. If this
conspiracy had achieved its purpose, the German front would have collapsed
and the wishes of the Vorw
rts (the organ of the Social Democratic Party) that
this time victory should not rest with the German banners, would have been fulfilled.</p>
<p>For want of munitions, the front would havM
e been broken through within
a few weeks, the offensive would have been effectively stopped and the
Entente saved. Then international finance would assume control over Germany
and the internal objective of the Marxist betrayal of the nations would be achieved.
That objective was the destruction of the national economic system and
the establishment of international capitalistic domination in its stead. This goal
has really been reached, thanks to the stupid credulity of the one side and the
unspeakable cowardice of M
The munitions strike, however, did not bring the final success that had
been hoped for, namely, to starve the front of ammunition. It lasted too short a
time for the lack of ammunition as such to bring disaster to the Army, as was
originally planned, but the moral damage was much more terrible.
In the first place, what was the Army fighting for if the people at home
did not wish it to be victorious? For whom then were those enormous
sacrifices and privations being made and endured? Must the soldiers fighM
victory while the home front went on strike against it?
In the second place, what effect did this move have on the enemy? In the
18, dark clouds hovered in the firmament of the Entente. For
nearly four years onslaught after onslaught had been made against the German
giant, but had failed to bring him to the ground. He had to keep them at bay
with one arm that held the defensive shield, because his other arm had, to be
free to wield the sword against his enemies, now in the East and now in theM
South. But at last these enemies were overcome and his rear was now free for
the conflict in the West.
Rivers of blood had been shed for the accomplishment of that task; but
now the sword was free to combine in battle with the shield on the Western
Front, and since the enemy had hitherto failed to break the German defence
here, the Germans themselves had now to launch the attack. The enemy feared
the attack and trembled for his victory.
In Paris and London conferences followed one another in unending
ven the enemy propaganda encountered difficulties. It was no
longer so easy to demonstrate that the prospect of a German victory was
hopeless. A prudent silence reigned at the front, even among the troops of the
Entente. The insolence of their masters had suddenly subsided.</p>
<p>A disturbing truth began to dawn on them. Their opinion of the German soldier had changed.
Hitherto they were able to picture him as a kind of fool whose end would be
destruction, but now they found tM
hemselves face to face with the soldier who
had overcome their Russian ally.
The policy of restricting the offensive to the East, which had been
imposed on the German military authorities by the necessities of the situation,
now seemed to the Entente a tactical stroke of genius.
For three years these Germans had been battering away at the Russian
front without any apparent success at first. Those fruitless efforts were almost
sneered at, for it was thought that in the long run the Russian giant would
h sheer force of numbers. Germany would be worn out through
shedding so much blood, and facts appeared to confirm this hope.
Since the days of September 1914, when, for the first time, interminable
columns of Russian prisoners of war had poured into German, after the Battle
of Tannenberg, it seemed as if the stream would never end, but that as soon as
one army was defeated and routed, another took its place.
The supply of soldiers which the gigantic empire placed at the disposal
of the Czar seemed inexhaustible; neM
w victims were always at hand for the
holocaust of war. How long could Germany hold out in this competition?
Would not the day finally have to came when, after the last victory which the
Germans would achieve, there would still remain reserve armies in Russia to
be mustered for the final battle? And what then?
According to human standards, a Russian victory over Germany might be
delayed, but it would have to come in the long run. All the hopes that had been
based on Russia were now lost. The ally who had sacrificedM
the altar of their mutual interests had come to the end of his resources and lay
prostrate before his unrelenting foe.
A feeling of terror and dismay came over the Entente soldiers who had
hitherto been buoyed up by blind faith. They feared the coming spring, for,
seeing that they had hitherto failed to break the Germans when the latter could
concentrate only part of their fighting strength on the Western Front, how could
they count on victory now that the undivided forces of that amazing land ofM
heroes appeared to be gathering for a massed attack in the West?</p>
<p>The shadow of the events which had taken place in South Tyrol and the
spectre of General Cadorna
s defeated armies, were reflected in the gloomy
faces of the Entente troops in Flanders.
Faith in victory gave way to fear of defeat to come. Then, on those cold
nights, when one almost heard the tread of the German armies advancing to the
great assault, and the decision was being awaited in fear and tremblinM
suddenly a lurid light was set aglow in Germany and sent its rays into the last
shell-hole on the enemy
At the very moment when the German divisions were receiving their
final orders for the great offensive, a general strike broke out in Germany.
At first the world was dumbfounded. Then the enemy propaganda began
activities once again and pounced on this theme at the eleventh hour. All of a
sudden, a means had come which could be utilised to revive the sinking
confidence of the Entente soldiers.
robability of victory could now be presented as certain, and the
anxious foreboding in regard to coming events could now be transformed into a
feeling of resolute assurance.
The regiments that had to bear the brunt of the greatest German onslaught
in history could now be inspired with the conviction that the final decision in
this War would not be won by the audacity of the German assault, but rather by
the powers of endurance on the side of the defence.
Let the Germans now have whatever victories they liked, the rM
and not the victorious Army was welcomed in the Fatherland.
British, French, and American newspapers began to spread this belief
among their readers while a very ably-conducted propaganda encouraged the
morale of their troops at the front.
Germany facing Revolution! Allied victory inevitable!
best medicine to set the staggering Poilu and Tommy on their feet once again.
Our rifles and machine-guns could now open fire once again; but instead of
effecting a panic-stricken retreat, they werM
e now met with a determined
resistance that was full of confidence.
That was the result of the strike in the munitions factories. Throughout
the enemy countries faith in victory was thus revived and strengthened, and that
paralysing feeling of despair which had hitherto made itself felt on the Allied
front was banished.</p>
<p>Consequently, the strike cost the lives of thousands of
German soldiers, but the despicable instigators of that dastardly strike were
candidates for the M
highest public office in the Germany of the Revolution.
At first it was apparently possible to overcome the repercussion of these
events on the German soldiers, but on the enemy
s side they had a lasting
effect. Here the resistance had lost all the character of an army fighting for a
hopeless cause. In its place, there was now a grim determination to struggle on
to victory, for as far as it was possible to foresee, victory would now be
assured, if the Western Front could hold out against the German offensive evenM
The Allied parliaments recognised the possibilities of better future and
voted huge sums of money for the continuation of the propaganda which was
employed for the purpose of breaking up the internal unity of Germany.
I had the luck to be able to take part in the first two offensives and in the
final offensive. These have left on me the most stupendous impressions of my
stupendous, because now, for the last time, the struggle lost its defensive
character and assumed the character of an offM
ensive, just as in 1914.
A sigh of relief went up from the German trenches and dugouts, when
finally, after three years of endurance in that inferno, the day for the settling of
accounts had come. Once again the lusty cheering of victorious battalions was
heard, as they hung the last crowns of the immortal laurel on the standards
which they consecrated to Victory.
Once again the strains of patriotic songs soared upwards to the heavens
above the endless columns of marching troops, and for the last time the Lord
ed on his ungrateful children.
In the summer of 1918, a feeling of sultry oppression hung over the front.
At home they were quarrelling. About what? We heard a great deal among
various units at the front. The War was now a hopeless affair, and only the
foolhardy could think of victory.
It was not the people, but the capitalists and the monarchy who were
interested in carrying on. Such were the ideas that came from home and were
discussed at the front.
At first this gave rise to only a very slight reaction. What didM
suffrage matter to us?</p>
<p>Is this what we had been fighting for throughout those four years?
It was a dastardly piece of robbery thus to filch from the graves of
our heroes the ideals for which they had fallen, It was not to the slogan,
live universal suffrage,
that our troops in Flanders once faced certain death,
ber Alles in der Welt
a small but by no means
an unimportant difference.
The majority of thoseM
who were shouting for this suffrage were absent
when it came to fighting for it. All this political rabble were strangers to us at
the front. During those days only a fraction of this parliamentarian gentry were
to be seen where honest Germans foregathered. The old soldiers who had
fought at the front had little liking for those new war aims of Messrs. Ebert,
Scheidemann, Barth, Liebknecht and others. We could not understand why, all
of a sudden, the shirkers should arrogate all executive powers to themselves,
hout having any regard to the Army.
From the very beginning, I had my own definite personal views. I
intensely loathed the whole gang of miserable party politicians who had
betrayed the people. I had long ago realised that the interests of the nation
played only a very small part with this disreputable crew and that what
counted with them was the possibility of filling their own empty pockets.
My opinion was that those people thoroughly deserved to be hanged,
because they were ready to sacrifice the peace and, if nM
Germany to be defeated just to serve their own ends.
To consider their wishes would mean to sacrifice the interests of the
working-classes for the benefit of a gang of thieves. To meet their wishes
meant to agree to sacrifice Germany.
Such, too, was the opinion still held by the majority of the Army, but the
reinforcements which came from home were fast becoming worse and worse
so much so that their arrival was a source of weakness rather than of
strength to our fighting forces.
s, in particular, were for the most part useless.
Sometimes it was hard to believe that they were sons of the same nation that
sent its youth into the battles that were fought round Ypres.
In August and September the symptoms of moral disintegration increased
more and more rapidly, although the enemy
s offensive was not at all
comparable to the frightfulness, of our own former defensive battles.</p>
<p>In comparison with this offensive, the battles fought on the Somme and in
Flanders remained in our memories as the most terrible of all horrors.
At the end of September my division occupied, for the third time, those
positions which we had once taken by storm as young volunteers. What a memory!
Here we had received our baptism of fire, in October and November 1914.
With a burning love for the mother country in their hearts and a song on
their lips, our young regiment went into action as if going to a dance. The most
precious blood was sacrificed freely here in the belief that it was sheM
protect the freedom and independence of the Fatherland.
In July 1917, we set foot for the second time on what we regarded as
sacred soil. Were not our best comrades at rest here, some of them little more

The older ones among us, who had been with the regiment from the
beginning, were deeply moved as we stood on this sacred spot where we had
Loyalty and duty unto death.
ears ago the regiment had taken
this position by storm; now it was called upon to defend it in a gruelling
struggle. With an artillery bombardment that lasted three weeks, the British
prepared for their great offensive in Flanders. There the spirit of the dead
seemed to live again.
The regiment dug itself into the mud, clung to its shell-holes and craters,
neither flinching nor wavering, but growing smaller in numbers day by day.
Finally the British launched their attack on July 31st, 1917.
We were relieved in the M
beginning of August. The regiment had dwindled
down to a few companies, who staggered back, mud-encrusted, more like
phantoms than human beings. Besides a few hundred yards of shell-holes,
death was all that the British gained.
Now, in the autumn of 1918, we stood for the third time on the ground we
had stormed in 1914. The village of Comines, which had formerly served us as
base, was now within the fighting zone.
Although little had changed in the surrounding district itself, the men had
become different, somehow M
or other. They now talked politics. As everywhere
else, the poison from home was having its effect here also.</p>
<p>The fresh drafts proved a complete failure. They had come directly from home.
During the night of October 13th
14th, the British opened an attack with
gas on the front south of Ypres. They used mustard gas whose effect was
unknown to us, at least from personal experience. I was destined to experience
it that very night. On a hill south of Wervick, on the eveninM
we were subjected for several hours to a heavy bombardment with gas-shells,
which continued throughout the night with more or less even intensity.
About midnight a number of us were put out of action, some for ever.
Towards morning, I also began to feel pain. It increased with every quarter of
an hour, and about seven o
clock my eyes were scorching as I staggered back
and delivered the last dispatch I was destined to carry in this war.
A few hours later my eyes were like glowing coals, and all M
darkness around me. I was sent into hospital at Pasewalk in Pomerania, and
there it was that I was to hear of the Revolution.
For a long time there had been something in the air which was
indefinable and oppressive. People were saying that something was bound to
happen within the next few weeks, although I could not imagine what this meant.
In the first instance I thought of a strike similar to the one which had
taken place in the spring.
Unfavourable rumours were constantly coming from the Navy, which
to be in a state of ferment, but this seemed to be a crazy notion put
about by certain individuals, rather than something which concerned many people.
It is true that at the hospital they were all talking about the end of the war
and hoping that this was not far off, but nobody thought that the decision would
come immediately. I was not able to read the newspapers.
In November, the general tension increased. Then one day disaster broke
in upon us suddenly and without warning. Sailors came in motor-lorries and
ed on us to rise in revolt. A few Jews were the
Liberty, Beauty, and Dignity
of our national existence.
Not one of them had seen active service at the front. By way of a hospital
for venereal diseases these three Orientals had been seat back home.</p>
<p>Now they were hoisting their red rags here.
During the last few days I had begun to feel somewhat better. The
burning pain in my eye-sockets had become less severe. Gradually, I was abM
to distinguish the general outlines of my immediate surroundings, and it was
permissible to hope that I would at least recover my sight sufficiently to be
able to take up some profession later on. That I would ever be able to draw or
design again was naturally out of the question.
Thus I was on the way to recovery when the frightful hour came. My first
thought was that this outbreak of high treason was only a local affair. I tried to
spread this belief among my comrades.
My Bavarian hospital-mates, in particularM
, were readily responsive.
Their inclinations were anything but revolutionary. I could not imagine this
madness breaking out in Munich, for it seemed to me that loyalty to the House
of Wittelsbach was, after all, stronger than the will of a few Jews, and so I
could not help believing that this was merely a revolt in the Navy and that it
would be suppressed within the next few days.
The next few days brought with them the most terrible certainty. The
rumours grew more and more persistent. I was told that what I had M
to be a local affair was in reality a general revolution. In addition to this, from
the front came the shameful news that they wished to capitulate! What! Was
such a thing possible?
On November 10th, the local pastor visited the hospital for the purpose
of delivering a short address, and that was how we came to know the whole story.
I was in a fever of excitement as I listened to the address. The reverend
old gentleman seemed to be trembling when he informed us that the House of
Hohenzollern should no loM
nger wear the Imperial Crown, that the Fatherland
that we should pray to the Almighty not to withhold
His blessing from the new order of things and not to abandon our people in the
In delivering this, message he could not do more than briefly express
appreciation of the Royal House, its services to Pomerania, to Prussia, indeed
to the whole of the German Fatherland, and at this point he broke down.</p>
<p>A feeling of profound dismay fM
ell on the people in that assembly, and I do not
think there was a single eye that was not wet with tears. As for myself, I broke
down completely when the old gentleman tried to resume his story by
informing us that we must now end this long war, because the war was lost, he
said, and we were at the mercy of the victor.
The Fatherland would have to bear heavy burdens in the future. We were
to accept the terms of the Armistice and trust to the magnanimity of our former enemies.
It was impossible for me to stay and lM
isten any longer. Darkness
surrounded me as I staggered and stumbled back to my ward and buried my
aching head between the blankets and pillow.
I had not cried since the day that I stood beside my mother
Whenever Fate dealt cruelly with me in my young days the spirit of

And, finally, almost in the last few days of that titanic struggle, when the
waves of poison-gas enveloped me and began to penetrate my eyes, the thought
of becoming permanently blind unnerved me, but the voice of conscience cried
You miserable fellow, would you start howling when there
are thousands of others whose lot is a hundred times worse than yours?
And so I accepted my misfortune in silence, realising that this was the
only thing to be done and that personal sufferM

All had been in vain. In vain all the sacrifices and privations, in vain the
hunger and thirst for endless months, in vain those hours that was stuck to our
posts though the fear of death gripped our souls, and in vain the deaths of two
millions who fell in discharging their duty.
Think of those hundreds of thousands who set out with hearts full of faith
in their Fatherland, and never returned; ought not their graves to open, so that
those heroes bespattered with mud and blood might come home
and take vengeance on those who had so despicably betrayed the greatest
sacrifice which a man can make for his country?</p>
<p>Was it for this that the soldiers died in August and September 1914, for
this that the volunteer regiments followed their older comrades in the autumn of
Was it for this that those boys of seventeen years of age were mingled
with the earth of Flanders? Was this the reason for thM
e sacrifice which German
mothers made for their Fatherland when, with heavy hearts, they said good-bye
to their sons, who never returned?
Had all this been done in order to enable a gang of despicable criminals
to lay hands on the Fatherland?
Was this, then, what the German soldier struggled for through sweltering
heat and blinding snowstorm, enduring hunger and thirst and cold, fatigued
from sleepless nights and endless marches?
Was it for this that he lived through an inferno of artillery bombardments,
g and choking during gas-attacks, neither flinching nor faltering,
remembering only that it was his duty to defend the Fatherland against the enemy?
Certainly those heroes also deserved the epitaph:
come to Germany, tell the mother country that we lie here, true to the
Fatherland and faithful unto death.
was this the only sacrifice that we had to consider?
Was the Germany of the past a country of little worth? Did she not owe a
certain duty to her own history? Were we stM
ill worthy to partake in the glory of
the past? How could we justify this act to future generations?
What a gang of despicable and depraved criminals! The more I tried then
to gain an insight into the terrible events that had happened, the more did I bum
with rage and shame.
What was all the pain I suffered in my eyes compared with this tragedy?
The following days were terrible to bear, and the nights still worse. I
realised that all was lost. To depend on the mercy of the enemy was a precept
which only fools or crM
iminal liars could recommend.
During those nights my hatred increased
hatred for the originators of
this dastardly crime.</p>
<p>During the days which followed my own fate became clear to me. I was
forced now to scoff at the thought of my personal future, which hitherto had
been the cause of so much worry to me.
Was it not ludicrous to think of building up anything on such a
foundation? Finally, it also became clear to me that it was the inevitable that
had happened, somethinM
g which I had feared for a long time, though I really
had not had the heart to believe it.
Emperor Wilhelm II was the first German Emperor to offer the hand of
friendship to the Marxist leaders, not suspecting that they were scoundrels
without any sense of honour.
While they held the imperial hand in one of theirs, the other was already
feeling for the dagger. There is no such thing as coming to an understanding
with the Jews. It must be a hard-and-fast
For my part I then decided that I would take M
up political work.</p>
<h1 id="chapter-viii-the-beginning-of-my-political-activities">CHAPTER VIII: THE BEGINNING OF MY POLITICAL ACTIVITIES</h1>
<p>Towards the end of November, I returned to Munich. I went to the depot
of my regiment, which was now in, the hands of the Soldiers
As the whole business was repulsive to me, I decided to leave as soon
as I possibly could. With my faithful war-cM
omrade, Schmiedt Ernst, I went to
Traunstein and remained there until the camp was broken up.
In March 1919, we were back again in Munich. The situation there could
not last as it was. It tended irresistibly to a further extension of the Revolution.
s death served only to hasten this development and finally led to
the dictatorship of the Councils, or, to put it more correctly, to a Jewish
hegemony, which turned out to be transitory, but which was the original aim of
those who had contrived the Revolution.
At that juncture innumerable plans took shape in my mind. I spent whole
days pondering on the problem of what could be done, but unfortunately every
project had to give way before the hard fact that I was quite unknown and
therefore did not have even, the first qualifications necessary for effective
action. Later on I shall explain the reasons why I could not decide to join any
of the parties then in existence.
As the new Revolution began to run its course, my activities drew down
upon me the ill-will of the CentraM
l Council. In the early morning of April 27th,
1919, I was to have been arrested, but the three fellows who came to arrest me
did not have the courage to face my rifle and withdrew empty-handed.
A few days after the liberation of Munich I was ordered to appear before
the Inquiry Commission which had been set up by the 2nd Infantry Regiment for
the purpose of investigating revolutionary activities. That was my first
incursion into the more or less political field.
A few weeks later I received orders to attend a courM
se of lectures which
were being given to members of the Army. This course was meant to propagate
certain fundamental principles on which the soldier could base his political ideas.</p>
<p>For me the advantage of this organisation was that it gave me a chance of
meeting fellow-soldiers who were of the same way of thinking and with whom
I could discuss the actual situation.
We were all more or less firmly convinced that Germany could not be
saved from imminent disaster by those wM
ho had participated in the November
that is to say, by the Centre and the Social Democrats, and also that the
so-called Bourgeois-National group could not make good the damage that had
been done, even if their intentions were of the best.
Certain conditions necessary for the successful undertaking of such a task
were not fulfilled. The years that followed have justified the opinions which
we held at that time.
In our small circle we discussed the project of forming a new party. The
leading ideas which we thM
en proposed were the same as those which were
carried into effect afterwards, when the German Labour Party was founded.
The name of the new movement which was to be founded should be such
that, of itself, it would appeal to the masses of the people, for all our efforts
would turn out vain and useless if this condition were lacking. That was the
reason why we chose the name
Social Revolutionary Party,
because the social principles of our new organisation were indeed
more fundamental reason. The attention which I had
given to economic problems during my earlier years was more or less confined
to considerations arising directly out of the social problem.
Subsequently my outlook broadened as I came to study the German
policy of alliance. This policy was very largely the result of an erroneous
valuation of the economic situation, together with a confused notion as to the
basis on which the future subsistence of the German people could be
All these ideas were based on M
the principle that capital is exclusively
the product of labour and that, just like labour, it was subject to all the factors
which can hinder or promote human activity.
Hence, from the national standpoint, the significance of capital depended
on the greatness, freedom and power of the State, that is to say, of the nation,
and it is this dependence alone which leads capital to promote the interests of
the State and the nation, from an instinct of self-preservation and for the sake of
its own development.</p>
<p>Consequently, the dependence of capital upon the independent and Free
State would force it to defend the nation
s freedom, might, strength, etc.
According to such principles the duty of the State towards capital would
be comparatively simple and clear. Its only object would be to make sure that
capital remained subservient to the State and did not allocate to itself the right
to dominate national interests.
Thus the State could confine its activities within the two following
its: on the one side, to assure a vital and independent system of national
economy and, on the other, to safeguard the social rights of the workers.
Previously, I did not recognise with adequate clearness the difference between
that capital which is purely the product of creative labour, and the existence
and nature of capital which is exclusively the result of financial speculation.
Here I needed a stimulus to set my mind thinking in this direction, but
that had hitherto been lacking. The requisite stimulus now caM
men who delivered lectures in the course I have already mentioned. This was
For the first time in my life, I heard a discussion which dealt with the
principles of stock-exchange capital and capital which was used for loan
activities. After hearing the first lecture delivered by Feder, the idea
immediately came into my head that I had now found a way to establish one of
the most essential prerequisites for the founding of a new party.
s merit consisted in the rM
uthless and trenchant way in
which he described the speculative and political economic character of the
capital used in stock exchange and loan transactions, laying bare the fact that
this capital is always dependent on the payment of interest.
In fundamental questions his statements were so full of common sense
that even those who criticised him did not deny that au fond his ideas were
sound, but they doubted whether it were possible to put these ideas into
practice. To me, this seemed the strongest point in FederM
others considered it a weak point.
It is not the business of him who lays down a theoretical programme to
explain the various ways in which something can be put into practice.</p>
<p>His task is to deal with the problem as such; and he has, therefore, to look to the end
rather than the means.
The important question is whether an idea is fundamentally right or not.
The question as to whether it may or may not be difficult to carry it out in
When a man, whose task it is to lay down the principles of a programme
or policy, begins to busy himself with the question as to whether it is expedient
and practical, instead of confining himself to a statement of the absolute truth,
his work will cease to be a guiding star to those who are looking, for light and
guidance, and will become merely a recipe for everyday life.
The man who lays down the programme of a movement must consider
only the goal. It is for the political leader to point out thM
goal may be reached. The thought of the former will, therefore, be determined
by those truths that are everlasting, whereas the activity of the latter must
always be guided by taking practical account of the circumstances in which
those truths have to be carried into effect.
The greatness of the one will depend on the absolute truth of his idea
considered in the abstract; whereas that of the other will depend on whether or
not he correctly judges the given realities and how they may be utilised M
the guidance of the truths established by the former.
The test of greatness as applied to a political leader is the success of his
plans and his enterprises, which means his ability to reach the goal for which
he sets out; whereas the final goal set up by the political philosopher can never
be reached, for human thought may grasp truths and visualise ends which it
sees with crystal clarity, though such ends can ever be completely attained,
because human nature is weak and imperfect.
The more an idea is correcM
t in the abstract, and, the more comprehensive
it therefore is, the smaller is the possibility of putting it into practice, at least
as far as this depends on human beings.
The significance of a political philosopher does not depend on the
practical success of the plans he lays down, but rather on their absolute truth
and the influence they exert on the progress of mankind.
If it were otherwise, the founders of religions could not be considered as
the greatest men who have ever lived, because their moral aims will M
completely or even approximately carried out in practice.</p>
<p>Even that religion which is called the religion of brotherly love is
actually no more than a faint reflex of the will of its sublime Founder, but its
significance lies in the orientation which it endeavoured to give to human
civilisation and human virtue and morals.
This very wide difference between the functions of a political
philosopher and a practical political leader is the reason why the
ons necessary for both functions are scarcely ever found combined
This applies especially to the so-called successful politician of the
lesser kind, whose activity is indeed hardly more than that of practising the art
of accomplishing the possible, as Bismarck modestly defined the art of politics
If such a politician resolutely avoids great ideas, his success will be all
the easier to attain; it will be attained more expeditiously, and will frequently
be more tangible. By reason of tM
his very fact, however, such success is doomed
to futility and sometimes does not even, survive the death of its author.
Generally speaking, the work of such politicians is without significance
for the following generation, because their temporary success was based on the
expediency of avoiding all really great decisive problems and ideas which
would hold good for future generations likewise.
To pursue ideals which will still be of value and significance for the
future is generally not a very profitable undertakingM
and he who follows such a
course is only very rarely understood by the masses of the people, who find the
price of beer and milk a more persuasive index of political values than far-sighted
plans for the future, the realisation of which can only take place later
on and the advantages of which can be reaped only by posterity.
Because of a certain vanity, which is always one of the blood relations
of unintelligence, the general run of politicians will always eschew those
schemes for the future which are really diffM
icult to put into practice; and they
will avoid them in order that they may not lose the immediate favour of the mob.
The importance and the success of such politicians belong exclusively to
the present and will be of no consequence for the future, but that does not
worry small-minded people who are quite content with momentary results.</p>
<p>The position of the constructive political philosopher is quite different.
The importance of his work must always be fudged from the staM
future; and he is frequently described by the word <i>Weltfremder</i>, or dreamer.
While the ability of the politician consists in mastering the art of the
possible, the founder of a political system belongs to those who are said to
please the gods only because they wish for and demand the impossible. They
will always have to renounce contemporary fame, but if their ideas be
immortal, posterity will acclaim them.
Within long spans of human progress it may occasionally happen that the
cian and political philosopher are one. The more intimate this
union is, the greater will be the obstacles which the activity of the politician
will have to encounter.
Such a man does not labour for the purpose of satisfying demands that
are obvious to every Philistine, but he reaches out towards ends which can be
understood only by the few. His life is torn asunder by hatred and love. The
protest of his contemporaries, who do not understand the man, is in conflict
with the recognition of posterity, for whom he alsM
The greater the work which a man does for the future, the less will he be
appreciated by his contemporaries. His struggle will accordingly be the more
severe, and his success the rarer. When, in the course of centuries, such a man
appears and is blessed with success, then, towards the end of his days, he may
have a faint prevision of his future fame.
Such great men are only the Marathon runners of history; the laurels of
contemporary fame are only for the brow of the dying hero.
The great protagonists are M
those who fight for their ideas and ideals
despite the fact that they receive no recognition at the hands of their
contemporaries. They are the men whose memories will be enshrined in the
hearts of future generations.
It seems then as if each individual felt it his duty to make retrospective
atonement for the wrong which great men have suffered at the hands of their
contemporaries. Their lives and their work are then studied with touching and
grateful admiration.</p>
lly in dark days of distress, such men have the power of healing
broken hearts and of raising the despairing spirit of a people. To this group
belong not only the genuinely great statesmen but all the great reformers as
well. Besides Frederick the Great we have men such as Martin Luther and
When I heard Gottfried Feder
The Abolition of the
Thraldom of Interest,
I understood immediately that here was a truth of
transcendental importance for the future of the German people.
The absolute separation of stock-exchange capital from the economic life
of the nation would make it possible to oppose the process of
internationalisation in German business, without at the same time attacking
capital as such, for to do this would jeopardise the foundations of our national independence.
I clearly saw what was developing in Germany and I realised then that
the stiffest fight we would have to wage would not be against an alien enemy,
but against international capital. In Feder
s speech I found an M
for our coming struggle.
Here again, later events proved how correct was the impression we then
had. The fools among our bourgeois politicians no longer mock at us on this
score, for even those politicians now see if they would speak the truth that
international stock-exchange capital was not only the chief instigating factor in
bringing about the war, but that, now the war is over, it serves to turn the peace
The struggle against international finance capital and loan capital has
me one of the most important points in the programme on which the
German nation has based its fight for economic freedom and independence.
Regarding the objections raised by so-called practical people, the
following answer must suffice. All apprehension concerning the fearful
economic consequences that would follow the abolition of the thraldom that
results from interest-capital are ill-timed, for, in the first place, the economic
principles hitherto followed have proved fatal to the interests of the German people.M
The attitude adopted when the question of preserving our national
existence arose, vividly recalls similar advice once given by experts
Bavarian Medical College, for example
on the question of introducing railroads.</p>
<p>The fears expressed by that august body of experts were not realised.
Those who travelled in the coaches of the new
from vertigo. Those who looked on did not become ill and the hoardings which
were to have been erecteM
d to conceal the new invention, were never put up.
Only the blinkers which obscure the vision of the would-be
have remained, and this will always be so.
In the second place, the following must be borne in mind. Any idea may
be a source of danger if it is looked upon as an end in itself, when in reality it
is only the means to an end. For me, and for all genuine National Socialists,
there is only one slogan: People and Fatherland.
What we have to fight for is the necessary security for the existence anM
increase of our race and people, the subsistence of our children and the
maintenance of our racial stock unmixed, the freedom and independence of the
Fatherland, so that our people may be enabled to fulfil the mission assigned to
All ideas and ideals, all teaching and all knowledge, must serve these
ends. It is from this standpoint that everything must be examined and turned to
practical use, or else discarded.
Thus, a theory can never become a mere dead dogma, since everything
urpose of guaranteeing our existence.
The conclusions arrived at by Gottfried Feder determined me to make a
fundamental study of a question with which I had hitherto not been very familiar.
I began to study again and thus it was that I first came to understand
perfectly what was the substance and purpose of the life-work of the Jew, Karl Marx.
His <i>Capital</i> became intelligible to me for the first time, and in the light
of it I now clearly understood the fight of the Social Democrats against
national economics,M
a fight which was to prepare the ground for the hegemony
of a real international and stock-exchange capital.</p>
<p>In another direction also, this course of lectures had important
consequences for me. One day I put my name down as wishing to take part in
the discussion. Another of the participants thought that he would break a lance
for the Jews and entered into a lengthy defence of them.
This aroused my opposition. An overwhelming number of those who
attended the lecture couM
rse supported my views. The consequence of it all was
that, a few days later, I was assigned to a regiment then stationed in Munich
and given a position there as
instruction officer.
At that time the spirit of discipline was rather weak among the troops
which were still suffering from the after-effects of the period when the
Councils were in control. Only gradually and carefully could a new
spirit of military discipline and obedience be introduced in place of
h had been used to express the ideal of military
discipline under Kurt Eisner
s higgledy-piggledy regime.
The soldiers had to be taught to think and feel in a national and patriotic
way. In these two directions lay my future line of action.
I took up my work with the greatest zeal and devotion. Here I was
presented with an opportunity of speaking before quite a large audience. I was
now able to confirm what I had hitherto merely felt, namely, that I had a talent
for public speaking.
My voice had become so much beM
tter that I could be well understood, at
least in all parts of the small hall where the soldiers assembled. No task could
have been more pleasing to me than this one; for now, before being
demobilised, I was in a position to render useful service to an institution which
had become infinitely dear to my heart, namely, the Army.
I am able to state that my talks were successful. During the course of my
lectures I have led back hundreds and even thousands of my fellow-countrymen
to their people and their Fatherland. I M
those troops and by so
doing I helped to restore general discipline.
Here again I made the acquaintance of several comrades whose line of
thought was similar to my own and who later became members of the first
group out of which the new movement developed.</p>
<h1 id="chapter-ix-the-german-labour-party">CHAPTER IX: THE GERMAN LABOUR PARTY</h1>
<p>One day I received an order from my suM
perior officer to investigate the
nature of an association which was apparently political. It called itself
and was soon to hold a meeting at which Gottfried
I was ordered to attend this meeting and report on the nature of the
association. The spirit of curiosity in which the army authorities then regarded
political parties can be very well understood.
The Revolution had granted the soldiers the right to take an active part in
politics and it was particularly those wM
ith the smallest experience who had
availed themselves of this privilege, but not until the Centre and the Social
Democratic Parties were reluctantly forced to recognise that the sympathies of
the soldiers had turned away from the revolutionary parties towards the
national movement and the national reawakening, did they feel obliged to
withdraw from the Army the right to vote, and to ban all political activity
The fact that the centre and Marxism had adopted this policy was
instructive, because M
if they had not thus curtailed the
rights of the citizen
they described the political rights of the soldiers after the Revolution
government which had been established in November 1918 would have been
overthrown within a few years and the dishonour and disgrace of the nation
would not have been further prolonged.
At that time the soldiers were on the point of ridding the nation of the
vampires and fawners who served the cause of the Entente in the interior of the
country, but the fact that the so-cM
parties voted enthusiastically
for the doctrinaire policy of the criminals who organised the revolution in
November 1918 also helped to render the Army ineffectual as an instrument of
national restoration, and thus showed once again what might be the outcome of
the purely abstract notions imbibed by these most gullible people.
The minds of the bourgeois middle classes had become so fossilised that
they sincerely believed the Army could once again become what it had
previously been, namely, a raM
mpart of German valour, while the Centre Party
and the Marxists intended only to extract the poisonous tooth of nationalism,
without which an army must always remain just a polite force, but can never be
in the position of a military organisation capable of fighting against an outside enemy.</p>
<p>This truth was sufficiently proved by subsequent events. Or did our
politicians believe, after all, that the development of our army could
be other than national? ThisM
belief might be possible and could be explained
by the fact that, during the war, they had been not soldiers, but merely talkers.
In other words, they were parliamentarians, and, as such, they did not
have the slightest idea of what was going on in the hearts of those men who
remembered the greatness of their own past and also remembered that they had
once been the first soldiers in the world.
I decided to attend the meeting of this party which had hitherto been
entirely unknown to me. When I arrived that evening M
in the guest-room of the
which has now become a place of historical
I found some twenty or twenty-five persons present, most
of them belonging to the lower classes.
s lecture was already familiar to me, for I had heard
it in the lecture course of which I have spoken. I could, therefore, concentrate
my attention on the society itself.
The impression it made upon me was neither good nor bad. I felt that
here was just another one of those many new socM
ieties which were being
formed at that time. In those days everybody felt called upon to found a new
party whenever he felt displeased with the course of events and had lost
confidence in all the parties already existing.
Thus it was that new associations sprouted up all round, to disappear
just as quickly, without exercising any effect or making any impression
whatsoever. Generally speaking, the founders of such associations did not have
the slightest idea of what it means to bring together a number of people for M
foundation of a party or a movement.
Therefore, these associations disappeared because of their woeful lack
of anything like an adequate grasp of the essentials of the situation.
was not very different after I
had listened to their proceedings for about two hours. I was glad when Feder
finally came to a close.</p>
<p>I had observed enough and was just about to leave
when it was announced that anybody who wished was free to take paM
rt in the discussion.
Thereupon, I decided to remain, but the discussion seemed to proceed
without anything of vital importance being mentioned, when suddenly a
commenced to speak.
He began by throwing doubt on the accuracy of what Feder had said, and
then, after Feder had replied very effectively, the professor suddenly took up
his position on what he called
the basis of facts, but before this he
recommended the young party most urgently to introduce the secession of
Bavaria from Prussia as one M
of the leading points in its programme.
In the most self-assured way, this man kept on insisting that German-Austria
would join Bavaria and that the peace would then function much better.
He made other similarly extravagant statements.
At this juncture I felt bound to ask for permission to speak and to tell the
learned gentleman what I thought. The result was that the honourable gentleman
who had last spoken slipped out of the room, like a whipped cur, without
While I was speaking the audience liM
stened with an expression of
surprise on their faces. When I was just about to say good-night to the
assembly and to leave, a man came after me quickly and introduced himself. I
did not grasp the name correctly, but he placed in my hand a little book which
was obviously a political pamphlet, and asked me very earnestly to read it.
I was quite pleased, because, in this way, I could get to know about this
association without having to attend its tiresome meetings. Moreover, this man,
who had the appearance of a workmM
an, made a good impression on me.
Thereupon, I left the hall.
At that time, I was living in one of the barracks of the 2nd Infantry
Regiment. I had a little room which still bore unmistakable traces of the Revolution.
During the day I was mostly out, at the quarters of the Light Infantry
Regiment No. 41, or else attending meetings or lectures, held at the quarters of
some other unit. I spent only the night at the barracks where I lodged.
Since I usually woke up about five o
clock every morning, I got into the
it of amusing myself with watching little mice which scampered about my
<p>I used to place a few pieces of hard bread or crust on the floor and
watch the funny little creatures playing around and enjoying themselves with
these delicacies. I had suffered so many privations in my life that I well knew
what hunger was and could only too well picture to myself the pleasure these
little creatures were experiencing.
On the morning after the meeting I have mentioned, iM
t happened that about
clock I lay fully awake in bed, watching the mice playing and vying with
each other. As I was not able to go to sleep again, I suddenly remembered the
pamphlet that one of the workers had given me at the meeting. It was a small
pamphlet of which this worker was the author.
In his little book he described how his mind had thrown off the shackles
of the Marxist and trade-union phraseology, and how he had come back to the
nationalist ideals. That was the reason why he had entitled his liM
Political Awakening</i>.
The pamphlet secured my attention the moment I began to read, and I
read it with interest to the end. The process here described was similar to that
which I had experienced in my own case twelve years previously.
Unconsciously, my own experiences began to stir again in my mind.
During that day my thoughts returned several times to what I had read, but I
finally decided to give the matter no further attention.
A week or so later, however, I received a postcard which informedM
to my astonishment, that I had been admitted to the German Labour Party. I was
asked to answer this communication and to intend a meeting of the party
committee on Wednesday next.
This manner of getting members rather amazed me, and I did not know
whether to be angry or laugh at it. I had no intention of entering a party already
in existence, but wanted to found one of my own.
Such an invitation as I had now received, I looked upon as entirely out of
the question for me. I was about to send a written reply wheM
the better of me, and I decided to attend the gathering on the date assigned, so
that I might expound my principles to these gentlemen in person.</p>
<p>Wednesday came. The tavern in which the meeting was to take place was
the Altes Rosenbad in the Herrnstrasse, into which apparently only an
occasional guest wandered.
This was not very surprising in the year 1919, when the bill of fare even
at the larger restaurants was very modest and scanty and thus not verM
attractive to clients, but I had never before heard of this restaurant.
I went through the badly-lighted tap-room, where not a single guest was
to be seen, and searched for the door which led to the side room, and there I
Under the dim light shed by a grimy gas-lamp, I could see four young
people sitting around a table, one of them being the author of the pamphlet. He
greeted me cordially and welcomed me as a new member of the German
I was somewhat taken aback. On being infoM
rmed that, actually, the
of the party had not yet come, I decided that I would keep back my
own explanation for the time being.
Finally the chairman appeared. He was the man who had been chairman
at the meeting held in the Sterneckerbrau, when Feder had spoken.
My curiosity was stimulated anew and I sat waiting for what was going
to happen. Now I got at least as far as learning the names of the gentlemen
present. The Reich chairman of the association was a certain Herr Harrer and
or the Munich district was Anton Drexler.
The minutes of the previous meeting were read out and a vote of
confidence in the secretary was passed. Then came the treasurer
society possessed a total fund of seven marks and fifty pfennigs, whereupon the
treasurer was assured that he had the confidence of the members. This was
now inserted in the minutes. Then letters of reply, which had been drafted by
the chairman, were read; first, to a letter received from Kiel, then to one from
Dusseldorf and finallM
y to one from Berlin. All three replies received the
approval of all present.
Then the incoming letters were read
one from Berlin, one from
Dusseldorf and one from Kiel. The reception of these letters seemed to cause
great satisfaction. This increasing bulk of correspondence was taken as the
best and most obvious sign of the growing importance of the German Labour Party.</p>
<p>And then? Well, there followed a long discussion of the replies which
should be given to these newlM
y received letters, It was all very awful. This
was the worst kind of parish-pump clubbism. And was I supposed to become a
member of such a club?
The question of new members was next discussed that is to say, the
question of catching me in the trap. I now began to ask questions. But I found
that, apart from a few general principles, there was nothing
no pamphlet, nothing at all in print, no card of membership, not even a party
stamp, nothing but obvious good faith and good intentions.
lt inclined to laugh; for what else was all this but a typical
sign of the most complete perplexity and deepest despair concerning all other
political parties, their programmes, views and activities?
The feeling which had induced those few young people to join in what
seemed such a ridiculous enterprise was nothing but the call of the inner voice
though more intuitively than consciously
party system as it had hitherto existed was not the kind of force that could
nation or repair the damage that had been done to the
German people by those who had hitherto controlled the internal affairs of the nation.
I quickly read through the list of principles laid down by the party. These
principles were stated on typewritten sheets. Here again I found evidence of
the spirit of longing and searching, but no sign whatever of a knowledge of the
conflict that had to be fought.
I myself had experienced the feelings which inspired these people. It
was the longing for a movement which shouldM
be more than a party, in the
hitherto accepted meaning of that word.
When I returned to my room in the barracks that evening, I had formed a
definite opinion on this association and I was facing the most difficult problem
of my life. Should I join this party or refuse?
From the common-sense point of view, I felt I ought to refuse, but my
feelings troubled me. The more I tried to prove to myself how senseless this
club was, on the whole, the more did my feelings incline me to favour it.</p>
<p>During the days which followed I was restless. I began to consider all
the pros and cons. I had long ago decided to take an active part in politics. The
fact that I could do so only through a new movement was quite clear to me, but
I had hitherto lacked the impulse to take concrete action.
I am not one of those people who will begin something to-day just to
give it up the next day for the sake of something new. That was the main reason
which made it so difficult for me to decide to join something nM
for this must become the real fulfilment of everything I dreamt, or else it had
better not be started at all.
I knew that such a decision would bind me for ever and then there could
be no turning back. For me there could be no idle dallying, but only a cause to
be championed ardently. I had already an instinctive feeling against people
who took up everything, but never carried anything through to the end.
I loathed these Jacks-of-all trades, and considered the activities of such
people to be worse thaM
n if they were to remain entirely quiescent.
Fate herself now seemed to point a finger that showed me the way. I
should never have entered one of the big parties already in existence and shall
explain my reasons for this later on.
This ludicrous little formation, with its handful of members, seemed to
have the unique advantage of not yet being fossilised into an
still offered a chance for real personal activity on the part of the individual.
Here it might still be possible to do some effectivM
movement was still small, one could all the more easily give it the required shape.
Here it was still possible to determine the character of the movement, the
aims to be achieved and the road to be taken, which would have been
impossible in the case of any of the big parties already existing.
The longer I reflected on the problem, the more my conviction grew, that
just such a small movement would best serve as an instrument to prepare the
way for the national resurgence, but that this could neveM
political parliamentary parties which were too firmly attached to obsolete
ideas or had an interest in supporting the new regime.
What had to be proclaimed here was a new <i>Weltanschauung</i> and not a new election cry.</p>
<p>It was, however, infinitely difficult to decide on putting the
intention into practice. What were the qualifications which I could bring to the
accomplishment of such a task?
The fact that I was poor and without resources would, in my opM
the easiest to bear, but the fact that I was utterly unknown raised a more
difficult problem. I was only one of the millions whom chance allows to exist
or to cease to exist, whom even their next-door neighbours will not consent to know.
Another difficulty arose from the fact that I had not gone through the
regular school curriculum. The so-called
still look down with
infinite superciliousness on anyone who has not been through the prescribed
schools and allowed them to pump the necessaM
ry knowledge into him.
The question, What can a man do? is never asked, but rather, what has he
people look upon any imbecile who is plastered with a
number of academic certificates as being superior to the ablest young fellow
who lacks these precious documents.
I could therefore easily imagine how this
receive me and I was wrong only in so far as I then believed men to be for the
most part better than they proved to be in the cold light of reality.
r being as they, are, the few exceptions stand out all the
more conspicuously. I learned more and more to distinguish between those
who will always be at school and those who will one day come to know something.
After two days of careful brooding and reflection I became convinced
that I must take the contemplated step. It was the most fateful decision of my
life. No retreat was possible.
Thus I declared myself ready to accept the membership tendered me by
the German Labour Party and received a provisional certificaM
which bore the number seven.</p>
<h1 id="chapter-x-the-collapse-of-the-second-reich">CHAPTER X: THE COLLAPSE OF THE SECOND REICH</h1>
<p>The depth of a fall is always measured by the difference between the
level of the original position from which a body has fallen and that in which it
The same holds good for nations and States. The matter of greatest
importance here is the heM
ight of the original level, or rather the greatest height
that had been attained before the descent began.
Therefore, the original position is of paramount importance, and only the
fall or collapse of that which is capable of rising above the general level, can
impress the beholder.
The collapse of the Second Reich was all the more bewildering for those
who could ponder over it and feel the effect of it in their hearts, because the,
Reich had fallen from a height which can hardly be imagined in these days of
The Second Reich was founded in circumstances of such dazzling
splendour that the whole nation had become entranced and exalted by it.
Following an unparalleled series of victories, that Reich was handed over as
the guerdon of immortal heroism to the children and grandchildren of the heroes.
Whether they were fully conscious of it or not, does not matter, the
Germans felt that this Reich, which did not owe its existence to the
machinations of parliamentary factions, was superior to the great majorM
States by reason of the nobler circumstances that had accompanied its establishment.
When its foundations were laid, the accompanying music was not the
chatter of parliamentary debates, but the thunder and clash of war along the
battle-front that encircled Paris.
It was thus that an act of statesmanship was accomplished whereby the
Germans, princes as well as people, established the future Reich and restored
the symbol of the Imperial Crown.</p>
not founded on treason and assassination by deserters and
shirkers, but by the regiments that had fought at, the front.
This unique birth and baptism of fire sufficed of themselves to surround
the Second Reich with an aureole of historical splendour such as few of the
older States could claim.
What a period of prosperity then began! A position of independence in
regard to the outside world guaranteed the means of livelihood at home. The
nation increased in numbers and in worldly wealth.
The honour of the State anM
d thereby the honour of the people as a whole
were secured and protected by an Army which was the most striking proof of
the difference between this new Reich and the old German Confederation.
The downfall of the Second Reich and the German nation has been so
profound that everyone seems to have been dumbfounded and rendered
incapable of feeling the significance of this downfall or reflecting on it.
It seems as if people were utterly unable to picture in their minds the
heights to which the Reich formerly attained,M
so visionary and unreal appears
the greatness and splendour of those days in contrast to tie misery of the present.
Bearing this in mind, we can understand why and how people become so
dazed when they try to look back, to the sublime past that they forget to look for
the symptoms of the great collapse which must certainly have been present in
Naturally this applies only to those for whom Germany was more than
merely a place of abode and a source of livelihood. These are the only people
been able to feel the present conditions as really catastrophic,
whereas others have considered these conditions as the fulfilment of what they
had looked forward to and hitherto silently wished.
The symptoms of future collapse were definitely to be perceived in those
earlier days, although very few made any attempt to deduce a practical lesson
from their significance, but this is now a greater necessity than it ever was
before, for just as bodily ailments can be cured only when their origin has been
also political disease can be treated only when it has been diagnosed.</p>
<p>It is obvious, of course, that the external symptoms of any disease can be
more readily detected than its internal causes, for these symptoms strike the
This is also the reason why so many people recognise only external
effects and mistake them for causes. Indeed, they will sometimes try to deny the
existence of such causes, and that is why the majority of people among us
the German collapse only in the prevailing economic distress and the
results that have followed therefrom.
Almost everyone has to bear his share of this burden and that is why
each one looks on the economic catastrophe as the cause of the present
deplorable state of affairs.
The broad masses of the people see little of the cultural, political, and
moral background of this collapse. Many of them completely lack both the
necessary feeling and the powers of understanding.
That the masses of the people should thus estiM
s downfall is quite understandable, but the fact that intelligent
sections of the community regard the German collapse primarily as an
economic catastrophe, and consequently think that a cure for it may be found in
an economic solution, seems to me to be the reason why hitherto no
improvement has been brought about.
No improvement can be brought about until it is understood that
economics play only a secondary role, while the main part is played by
political, moral, and racial factors.
Only when this is understood will it be possible to comprehend the
causes of the present evils and consequently to find the ways and means of
Therefore, the question of why Germany really collapsed is one of the
most urgent significance, especially for a political movement which aims at
overcoming this disaster.
In scrutinising the past with a view to discovering the causes of the
German break-up, it is necessary to be careful lest we may be unduly
impressed by external results that readily strike tM
he eye and thus ignore the less
manifest causes of these results.</p>
<p>The most facile, and therefore the most generally accepted way of
accounting for the present misfortune, is to say that it is the result of a lost war,
and that this is the real cause of the present distress.
Probably there are many who honestly believe in this absurd
explanation, but there are many more in whose mouths it is a deliberate and
conscious falsehood. This applies to all those who are now feediM
government troughs, for the prophets of the Revolution again and again
declared to the people that the result of the war would be immaterial to the
On the contrary, they solemnly assured the public that it was high finance
which was principally interested in a victorious outcome of this gigantic
struggle between the nations, but that the German people and the German
workers had no interest whatsoever therein.
Indeed, the apostles of world conciliation habitually asserted that, far
erman downfall, the opposite was bound to take place
resurgence of the German people
Did not these self-same circles sing the praises of the Entente and did
they not also lay the whole blame for the sanguinary struggle on Germany?
Would they have succeeded in doing so, had they not put forward the
theory that a military defeat would have no political consequences for the
German people? Was not the whole Revolution dressed up in the pretty phrase
would check the victorious advance of the German banners, the
German people would thus be assured of its liberty both at home and abroad?
Is not that so, you miserable, lying rascals?
That kind of impudence which is typical of the Jews was necessary in
order to proclaim the defeat of the Army as the cause of the German collapse,
indeed the Berlin Vorw
rts, that organ and mouthpiece of sedition, wrote on
this occasion that the German nation should not be permitted to bring home its
banners in triumph. Yet our collM
apse is attributed to the military defeat.
Of course it would be out of the question to enter into an argument with
these liars who deny one moment what they said the moment before. I should
waste no further words on them were it not for the fact that there are many
thoughtless people who repeat all this parrot-fashion, without being
necessarily inspired by any evil motives.</p>
<p>But the observations I am making here are also meant for our fighting
followers, seeing that nowaM
s spoken words are often forgotten and
their meaning distorted.
The assertion that the loss of the war was the cause of the German
collapse can best be answered as follows:
It is admittedly a fact that the loss of the war was of tragic importance
for the future of our country, but that loss was not in itself a cause. It was rather
the consequence of other causes.
That a disastrous ending to this life and death conflict must have
involved catastrophes in its train was clearly seen by everyone of insight wM
could think in a straightforward manner, but unfortunately there were also
people whose powers of understanding seemed to fail them at that critical moment.
There were other people who had first questioned that truth and then
altogether denied it, and there were people who, after their secret desire had
been fulfilled, were suddenly faced with the state of affairs, that resulted from
their own collaboration.
Such people are responsible for the collapse, and not the lost war,
though they now want to attribute eveM
rything to this. As a matter of fact, the
loss of the war was a result of their activities and not the result of bad
leadership, as they would now like to maintain.
Our enemies were not cowards. They also knew how to die. From the
very first day of the war they outnumbered the German Army, and the arsenals
and armament factories of the whole world were at their disposal for the
replenishment of military equipment.
Indeed, it is universally admitted that the German victories, which had
been steadily won during four M
years of warfare against the whole world, were
(apart, of course, from the heroism of the troops, and the magnificent
organisation) solely due to the German military leadership.
That organisation and leadership of the German Army was the most
mighty thing that the world has ever seen. Any shortcomings which became
evident were humanly unavoidable. The collapse of that Army was not the
cause of our present distress. It was itself the consequence of ether faults, but
this consequence in its turn ushered in a further M
collapse, which was more obvious.</p>
<p>That such was actually the case can be shown as follows: Must a
military defeat necessarily lead to such a complete overthrow of the State and
Whenever has this been the result of an unfortunate, lost war?
Are nations in fact ever ruined by a lost war and by that alone?
The answer to this question can be briefly stated by referring to the fact
that military defeats are the result of internal decay, cowardice, want of
r, and are a retribution for such things.
If such were not the case, then a military defeat would lead to a national
resurgence and bring the nation to a higher pitch of effort.
A military defeat is not the tombstone of national life. History affords
innumerable examples to confirm the truth of that statement.
Unfortunately, Germany
s military overthrow was not an undeserved
catastrophe, but a well-merited punishment which was in the nature of an
eternal retribution.
This defeat was more than deserved by us, for M
it represented the greatest
external phenomenon of decomposition among a series of internal phenomena,
which, although they were visible, were not recognised by the majority of the
people, who follow the tactics of the ostrich and see only what they want to see.
Let us examine the symptoms that were evident in Germany at the time
that the German people accepted this defeat. Is it not true that in several circles
the misfortunes of the Fatherland were even joyfully welcomed in the most
in such a way without thereby meriting vengeance for his
attitude? Were there not people who went even further and boasted that they
had gone to the extent of weakening the front and causing a collapse?
Therefore, it was not the enemy who brought this disgrace upon us, but
rather our own countrymen. If they suffered misfortune for it afterwards, was
that misfortune undeserved?</p>
<p>Was there ever a case in history where a people declared itself guilty of
a war, and that evenM
against its conscience and its better judgment?
No, and again no. In the manner in which the German nation reacted to its
defeat we can see that the real cause of our collapse must be looked for
elsewhere and not in the purely military loss of a few positions or the failure
of an offensive, for if the front as such had given way and thus brought about a
national disaster, then the German nation would have accepted the defeat in
quite another spirit.
It would have borne the subsequent misfortune with clenched teethM
would have been overwhelmed by sorrow.
Regret and fury against an enemy into whose hands victory had been
given by a chance event or the decree of Fate would have filled the hearts of
the people, and in that case the nation, following the example of the Roman
Senate, would have faced the defeated legions on their return and expressed
their thanks for the sacrifices that had been made and would have urged them
not to lose faith in the Reich.
Even the capitulation would have been signed under the sway of calmM
reason, while the heart would have beaten in the hope of the coming revanche.
That is the reception that would have been given to a military defeat
which had to be attributed only to the adverse decree of Fortune. There would
have been neither joy-making nor dancing.
Cowardice would not have been boasted of, and the defeat would not
have been honoured. On returning from the front, the troops would not have
been mocked at, and the colours would not have been dragged in the dust, but
above all, that disgraceful statM
e of affairs, could never have arisen which
induced a British officer, Colonel Repington, to declare with scorn,
third German is a traitor.
No, in such a case this plague would never have assumed the proportions
of a veritable flood, which, for the past five years, has smothered every vestige
of respect for the German nation in the outside world.
This shows only too clearly how false it is to say that the loss of the war
was the cause of the German break-up. The military defeat was in itself but the
sequence of a whole series of morbid symptoms and their causes which had
become active in, the German nation before the war broke out.</p>
<p>The collapse was the first catastrophic consequence, visible to all, of
how traditions and national morale had been poisoned and how the instinct of
self-preservation had degenerated. These were the preliminary causes which,
for many years, had been undermining the foundations of the nation and the Reich.
It remained for the Jews, with thM
eir unqualified capacity for falsehood,
and their fighting comrades, the Marxists, to impute responsibility for the
downfall precisely to the man who alone had shown superhuman will-power
and energy in his, effort to prevent the catastrophe which he had foreseen and
to save the nation from that hour of complete overthrow and shame.
By placing responsibility for the loss of the World War on the shoulders
of Ludendorff, they took away the weapon of moral right from the only
adversary dangerous enough to be likely to M
succeed in bringing the betrayers of
the Fatherland to justice.
All this was inspired by the principle which is quite true in itself
in the big lie there is always a certain force of credibility; because the broad
masses of a nation are always more easily corruptible in the deeper strata of
their emotional nature than consciously or voluntarily had, and thus in the
primitive simplicity of their minds they are readily fall victims to the big lie
than to the small lie, since they themselves often tell small liM
es in little matters,
but would be ashamed to resort to large-scale falsehood.
It would never come into their heads to fabricate colossal untruths, and
they would not believe that others could have the impudence to distort the truth
Even though the facts which prove this to be so are put clearly before
them, they will still doubt and waver and will continue to think that there may
be some other explanation, for the grossly impudent lie always leaves traces
behind it, even after it has been nailed dowM
a fact which all expert liars in
this world and all who conspire together in the art of lying know only too well
and exploit in the basest manner.
From time immemorial, however, the Jews have known better than any
others how falsehood and calumny can be exploited.
Is not their very existence founded on one great lie, namely, that they are
a religious community, whereas in reality they are a race?</p>
<p>And what a race! One of the greatest thinkers that mankind has producedM
has branded the Jews for all time with a statement which is profoundly and
exactly true. He called the Jew
the great master of lies.
Those who do not realise the truth of that statement, or do not wish to
believe it, will never be able to lend a hand in helping truth to prevail.
We may regard it as a great stroke of fortune for the German nation that
its period of lingering suffering was so suddenly curtailed and transformed into
such a terrible catastrophe, for if things had gone on as they were, the nationM
would, more slowly but more surely, have been ruined.
The disease would have become chronic; whereas, in the acute form of
the disaster, it at least showed itself clearly to the eyes of a considerable
number of observers.
It was not by accident that man conquered the black plague more easily
than he has conquered tuberculosis. The first appeared in terrifying waves of
death that shook the whole of mankind, the other advances insidiously; the first
induced terror, the other gradual indifference.
The result is, howeM
ver, that men opposed the first with all the energy of
which they were capable, whilst they try to arrest tuberculosis by feeble
means. Thus man has mastered the black plague, while tuberculosis still gets
The same applies to diseases in nations. As long as these diseases are
not of a catastrophic character, the population will slowly accustom itself to
them and later succumb.
It is then a stroke of luck
although a bitter one
when Fate decides to
interfere in this slow process of decay and suM
ddenly brings the victim face to
face with the final stage of the disease. More often than not the result of a
catastrophe is that a cure is at once undertaken and carried through with rigid
determination, but even in such a case, the essential preliminary condition is
always the recognition of the internal causes which have given rise to the
disease in question.
The important question here is the differentiation of the root causes from
the circumstances developing out of them. This becomes all the more difficult
he longer the germs of disease remain in the national body and the longer they
are allowed to become an integral part of that body.</p>
<p>It may easily happen that, as time goes on, it will become so difficult to
recognise certain definite virulent poisons as such that they are accepted as
belonging to the national being, or they are merely tolerated as a necessary
evil, so that drastic attempts to locate those alien germs are not held to be necessary.
During the long period oM
f peace prior to the last war, certain evils were
apparent here and there although, with one or two exception, very little effort
was made to discover their origin.
Here again, these exceptions were primarily those phenomena in the
economic life of the nation which were more apparent to the individual rather
than the evil conditions existing in a good many other spheres.
There were many signs of decay which ought to have been given serious
thought. As far as economics were concerned, it may be said that the amazingM
increase of population in Germany before the war brought the question of
providing daily bread into a more and more prominent position in all spheres
of political and economic thought and action.
Unfortunately, those responsible could not make up their minds to arrive
at the only correct solution and preferred to reach their objective by cheaper methods.
Repudiation of the idea of acquiring fresh territory and the substitution
for it of the mad desire for the commercial conquest of the world was bound to
tually to unlimited and injurious industrialisation.
The first and most fatal result brought about in this way was the
weakening of the agricultural classes, whose decline was proportionate to the
increase in the proletariat of the urban areas, until finally the equilibrium was
The big barrier dividing rich and poor now became apparent. Luxury and
poverty lived so close to each other that the consequences were bound to be
deplorable. Want and frequent unemployment began to play havoc with the
le and left discontent and embitterment behind them. The result of this was
to divide the population into political classes.
Discontent increased in spite of commercial prosperity. Matters finally
reached that stage which brought about the general conviction that
cannot go on as they are,
although no one seemed able to visualise what was
really going to happen.</p>
<p>These were typical and visible signs of the depths which the prevailing
discontent had reached. FaM
r worse than these, however, were other
consequences which became apparent as a result of the industrialisation of the nation.
In proportion to the extent that commerce assumed definite control of the
State, money became more and more of a god whom all had to serve and
before whom all had to bow.
Heavenly deities became more and more old-fashioned and were laid
away in the corners to make room for the worship of Mammon.
Thus began a period of utter degeneration which became especially
pernicious because it set in aM
t a time when the nation was more than ever in
need of an exalted ideal, for a critical hour was threatening.
Germany should have been prepared to protect with the sword her
efforts to win her own daily bread in a peaceful way.
Unfortunately, the predominance of money received support and sanction
in the very quarter which ought to have been opposed to it.
His Majesty, the Kaiser, made a mistake when he raised representatives
of the new financial world to the ranks of the nobility.
Admittedly, it may be offered as M
an excuse that even Bismarck failed to
realise the threatening danger in this respect. In practice, however, all ideal
virtues became secondary considerations to those of money, for it was clear
that having once taken this road, the real old aristocracy would very soon rank
second to the ennobled financiers.
Financial operations succeed more easily than war operations. Hence it
was no longer any great attraction for a true hero or even a statesman to be
brought into touch with some Jewish banker.
interested in receiving cheap decorations and
therefore declined them with thanks. But from the standpoint of good breeding
such a development was deeply regrettable.
The aristocracy began to lose more and more those racial qualities that
were a condition of its very existence, with the result that, in many cases, the
would have been more appropriate.</p>
<p>A serious state of economic disruption was being brought about by the
slow elimination of the personM
al control of vested interests and the gradual
transference of the whole economic structure into the hands of joint-stock
companies. In this way labour became degraded into an object of speculation
in the hands of unscrupulous exploiters. The de-personalisation of property
ownership increased on a vast scale. Financial exchange circles began to
triumph and made slow but sure progress in assuming control of the whole of
Before the war, the internationalisation of the German economic

that a section of the German industrialists made determined attempts to avert
the danger, but in the end they gave way before the united attacks of money-grabbing capitalism,

the Marxist movement.

successful conclusion by the

International Social Democracy
has once again attained one
of its main objectives.
The best evidence of how far this
nation was able to progress, can be seen plainly in the fact that when the war
was over, one of the leading captM
ains of German industry and commerce gave
it as his opinion that commerce as such was the only force which could put
Germany on her feet again.
This sort of nonsense was uttered just at the time when France was re-establishing
public education on a humanitarian basis, thus doing away with
the idea that national life was dependent on commerce rather than on ideal values.
The statement which Stinnes broadcast to the world at that time caused incredible confusion.</p>
mmediately taken up and has become the leading
motto of all those humbugs and babblers
whom Fate let loose
on Germany after the Revolution.
One of the worst evidences of decadence in Germany before the war
was the ever-increasing habit of doing things by halves. This was one of the
consequences of the insecurity that was felt all round, and it is to be attributed
also to a certain timidity which resulted from one cause or another. The latter
malady was aggravated by the educational system.
man education in pre-war times had an extraordinary number of
weak features. It was simply and exclusively limited to the production of pure
knowledge and paid little attention to the development of practical ability.
Still less attention was given to the development of individual character,
in so far as this is ever possible, and hardly any attention at all was paid to the
development of a sense of responsibility, to strengthening the will and the
power of decision. The result of this method was not to turn out stM
but rather docile creatures crammed with knowledge and to produce erudite
people who had a passion for knowing everything.
Before the war, we Germans were accepted and estimated accordingly.
The German was liked because good use could be made of him; but there was
little esteem for him personally, on account of his weakness of character.
For those who can read its significance aright, there is much instruction
in the fact that among all nationalities Germans were the first to part with their
tizenship when they found themselves in a foreign country, and there
is a world of meaning in the saying that was then prevalent, that in hand one
can go through the whole country.
This kind of social etiquette turned out disastrous when it prescribed the
exclusive forms that had to be observed in the presence of His Majesty. These
forms insisted that there should be no contract fiction whatsoever, but that
everything should be praised which His Majesty condescended to like.
It was just here that the frank expressiM
on of manly dignity, and not
subservience, was most needed because the monarchy as an institution was
bound to fall as a result of this subservience, for such it was.
Servility in the presence of monarchs may be good enough for the
professional lackey and place-hunter, in fact for all those decadent beings who
feel more at their ease in close proximity to the throne than do honest citizens.</p>
<p>These exceedingly
creatures, however, though the grovel before
lord and bread-giver, invariably put on airs of boundless superciliousness
towards other mortals, which was particularly impudent when they posed as
the only people who had the right to be called
This was a gross piece of impertinence of which only despicable
specimens among the newly-ennobled or yet-to-be-ennobled were capable.
These have always been just the people who have prepared the way for
the downfall of the monarchy and the monarchical principle.
It could not be otherwise, for when a maM
n is prepared to stand up for a
cause, come what may, he never grovels before its representative.
A man who is serious about the maintenance and welfare of an institution
will cling to it with might and main and will not be able to .get over it, should
that institution show certain faults and failings, and he will certainly not run
around telling the world about it, as certain false democratic
monarchy have done; but he will approach His Majesty, the wearer of the
crown himself, to warn him of M
the seriousness of the situation and persuade the
Furthermore, he will not take up the standpoint that it must be left to His
Majesty to act as the latter thinks fit, even though the course which he would
take must plainly lead to disaster.
The man I am thinking of will deem it his duty to protect the monarchy
against the monarch himself, no matter what personal risk he may run in so
doing. If the worth of the monarchical institution were dependent on the, person
of the monarch himself, then it woulM
d be the worst institution imaginable; for
only in rare cases are kings found to be models of wisdom, understanding and
integrity of character, though we might like to think otherwise.
This fact is unpalatable to the professional knaves and lackeys, but all
upright men, and they are the backbone of the nation, repudiate the nonsensical
fiction that all monarchs are wise, etc.
For such men history is history and truth is truth, even where monarchs
are concerned. It is so seldom that a nation has the good luck to posM
king who is at the same time a great man, that it ought to consider itself
fortunate if malignant Fate has not reserved for it a still more terrible lot.</p>
<p>It is clear that the worth and significance of the monarchical principle
cannot rest in the person of the monarch alone, unless Heaven decrees that the
crown should be set on the head of a brilliant hero like Frederick the Great, or
a sagacious man like Wilhelm I.
This may happen once in several centuries, M
but hardly oftener than that.
The ideal of the monarchy takes precedence over the person of the monarch,
inasmuch as the meaning of the institution must lie in the institution itself.
Thus, the monarch may be reckoned in the category of those whose duty
it is to serve. He, too, is but a wheel in the machine and as such he is obliged
to do his duty towards it. He has to adapt himself for the fulfilment of high aims
is not he who allows the wearer of the crown to
commit crimes in its naM
me, but he who prevents this.
If, therefore, there were no significance attached to the idea itself and
everything merely centred around the
person, then it would never be
possible to depose a ruler who has shown himself to be an imbecile.
It is essential to resist upon this truth at the present time, because
recently those phenomena which were in no small measure responsible for the
collapse of the monarchy have appeared again.
With a certain amount of naive impudence these persons once again talk
that is to say the man whom they shamefully deserted a
few years ago, at a most critical, hour.
Those who refrain from participating in this chorus of lies are summarily
They who make the charge are the same class of quitters who, in 1918,
took to their heels at the very sight of a red armlet, left their Kaiser in the lurch,
hastily changed their rifles for walking-sticks, took to wearing neutralcoloured ties,
and disappeared from the limelight camouflaged as M
peace-loving citizens.

will go on until the day comes when red badges are again in the
ascendant. Then this whole ramshackle troupe of hangers-on of the old
monarchy will scuttle off anew like mice from the cats.
If monarchs were not themselves responsible for such things, one could
not help sympathising with them, but they must realise: that with such
champions, thrones may be lost, but never gained.
All this devotion was a mistake and was the result of our whole system
of education, which in this case brought about a particularly severM
Such lamentable trumpery was kept up at the various courts, that the
monarchy was slowly becoming undermined. When the whole structure finally
did begin to totter, they vanished from mortal ken.
Naturally, grovellers and lick-spittles are never willing to die for their
masters. That monarchs never realise this, and seldom really take the trouble to
learn it, has always been their undoing.
One visible result of a wrong educational system was the fear of
shouldering responsibility and the resultant weaM
kness in dealing with obvious,
vital problems of existence.
The starting-point of this epidemic was, however, in our parliamentary
institution where the shirking of responsibility was particularly fostered.
Unfortunately, the disease slowly spread to all branches of everyday life and
particularly affected the sphere of public affairs.
Responsibility was being shirked everywhere and this led to insufficient
or half-hearted measures being taken, personal responsibility for each action
being reduced to a minimum.
e consider the attitude of various governments towards a whole
series of really pernicious phenomena in public life, we shall at once
recognise the fearful significance of this policy of half-measures and the lack
of courage to assume responsibility.
I shall single out only a few from the large number of instances known to me.</p>
<p>In journalistic circles it is a pleasing custom to speak of the press as a
within the State. As a matter of fact its importance M
One cannot easily over-estimate it, for the press continues the work of
education even in adult life.
Generally speaking, readers of the press can be classified in three
groups: First, those who believe everything they read; second, those who no
longer believe anything; third, those who critically examine what they read and
form their judgments accordingly.
Numerically, the first group is by far the largest, being composed of the
broad masses of the people. Intellectually, it forms the simplest portion M
It cannot be classified according to occupation, but only into grades of
intelligence. Under this category come all those who have not been born to
think for themselves or who have not learnt to do so and who, partly through
incompetence end partly through ignorance, believe everything that is set
before them in print.
To these we must add that type of lazy individual who, although capable
of thinking for himself, out of sheer laziness gratefully absorbs everything that
otters have thought out, modesM
tly believing this to have been thoroughly done.
The influence which the press has on all these people who constitute the
broad masses of a nation, is therefore enormous.
But somehow they are not in a position, or are not willing, personally to
sift what is being served up to them, so that their whole attitude towards daily
problems is almost solely the result of extraneous influence.
All this can be advantageous where public enlightenment is of a serious
and truthful character, but great harm is done when scoundreM
The second group is numerically smaller, being partly composed of those
who were formerly in the first group and after a series of bitter
disappointments are now prepared to believe nothing of what they see in print.
They hate all newspapers.</p>
<p>Either they do not read them at all or they
become exceptionally annoyed at their contents, which they hold to be nothing
but a conglomery of lies and mis-statements.
These people are difficultM
to handle, for they will always be sceptical of
the truth. Consequently, they are useless for any form of positive work.
The third group is easily the smallest, being composed of real
intellectuals whom natural aptitude and education have taught to think for
themselves and who in all things try to form their own judgments, while at the
same time carefully sifting what they read.
They will not read any newspaper without using their own intelligence to
collaborate with that of the writer, and naturally this does notM
easy task. Journalists appreciate this type of reader only with a certain amount
Hence the trash that newspapers are capable of serving up is of little
much less of importance to the members of this third group of readers.
In the majority of cases these readers have learnt to regard every
journalist as fundamentally a rogue who sometimes speaks the truth.
Most unfortunately, the value of these readers lies in their intelligence,
and not in their numerical strength an unhappyM
state of affairs in a period where
wisdom counts for nothing and majorities for everything.
Nowadays, when the voting papers of the masses are the deciding factor,
the decision lies in the hands of the numerically strongest group; that is to say
the first group, the crowd of simpletons and the credulous.
It is an all-important interest of the State and a national duty to prevent
these people from falling into the hands of false, ignorant or even evil-minded
teachers. Therefore it is the duty of the State to supervM
ise their education and
prevent every form of offence in this respect.
Particular attention should be paid to the press; for its influence on these
people is by far the strongest and most penetrating of all, since its effect is not
transitory but continual. Its immense significance lies in the uniform and
persistent repetition of its teaching.
Here, if anywhere, the State should never forget that all means should
converge towards the same end.</p>
<p>It must not be led astray bM
freedom of the press,
or be talked into neglecting its duty,
and withholding from the nation that which is good and which does good.
With ruthless determination the State must keep control of this instrument
of popular education and place it at the service of the State and the nation.
But what sort of pabulum was it that the German press served up for the
consumption of its readers in pre-war days? Was it not the most virulent poison
imaginable? Was not pacifism in its woM
rst form inoculated into our people at a
time when others were preparing slowly but surely to pounce upon Germany?
Did not this self-same press of ours instil into the public mind even in
peace-time a doubt as to the sovereign rights of the State itself, thereby already
handicapping the State in choosing its means of defence?
Was it not the German press that understood how to make all the
nonsensical talk about
palatable to our people, until an
exuberant public was eventually prepared to entM
rust its future to the League of Nations?
Was not this press instrumental in bringing about a state of moral
degradation among our people? Were not morals and public decency made to
look ridiculous and classed as out-of-date and banal, until finally our people
By means of persistent attacks, did not the press keep on undermining the
authority of the State, until one blow sufficed to bring this institution tottering
Did not the press oppose with all its might every move to giM
that which belongs to the State, and be means of constant criticism injure the

until the success of this campaign was assured? The
function of the so-called liberal press was to dig the grave for the German
people and Reich. No mention need be made of the lying Marxist press.
To it the spreading of falsehood is as much a vital necessity as hunting is
to a cat. Its sole task is to break the national backM
bone of the people, thus
preparing the nation to become the slaves of international finance and its
What measures did the State take to counteract this wholesale poisoning of the public mind?</p>
<p>Absolutely none. The passing of a few paltry decrees,
punishment meted out in a few cases of flagrant infamy, and there the matter
By this policy it was hoped to win the favour of this pest by means of
flattery, by a recognition of the
and similar nonsense. The Jews acknowledged all this
with a knowing smile and returned thanks.
The reason for this ignominious failure on the part of the State lay not so
much in its refusal to realise the danger as in the out-and-out cowardly way of
meeting the situation by the adoption of faulty and ineffective measures. No one
had the courage to employ any energetic and radical methods.
Everyone temporised in some way or other and instead of striking at its
eart, only irritated the viper the more. The result was that not only did
everything remain as it was, but the power of this institution, which should
have been combated, grew greater from year to year.
The defence put up by the government in those days against a mainly
Jew-controlled press that was slowly corrupting the nation, followed no
definite line of action, it had no determination
behind it and above all, no
whatsoever in view.
This is where official understanding of the situation compM
not only in estimating the importance of the struggle, but in choosing the means
and deciding on a definite plan.
They merely tinkered with the problem. Occasionally when bitten, they
imprisoned one or another journalistic viper for a few weeks or months, but
the whole poisonous brood was allowed to carry on in peace.
It must be admitted that all this was partly the result of extraordinarily
crafty tactics on the part of Jewry on the one hand, and obvious, official
stupidity or naivety, on the other.M
The Jews were too clever to allow a simultaneous attack to be made on
the whole of their press. One section functioned as cover for the other. While
the Marxist newspaper, in the most despicable manner possible, reviled
everything that was sacred, furiously attacked the State and government and
incited certain classes of the community against each other, bourgeois-democratic papers, also in Jewish hands,
succeeded in camouflaging themselves as model examples of objectivity.</p>
<p>They studiously avoided harsh
language, knowing well that blockheads are capable of judging only by
external appearances and are never able to penetrate to the real depth and
meaning of anything. They measure the worth of an object by its exterior and

understood by the press.

which deprives young people of their natural instincts, pumps into them a
certain amount of knowledge without, however, being able to give them real
insight, since this requires not only diligence and goodwill, but innateM
This final insight at which man must aim is the understanding of causes
which an instinctive and fundamental.
Let me explain: Man must not fall into the error of thinking that he was
ever meant to become lord and master of Nature.
A lopsided education has helped to encourage that illusion. Man must
realise that a fundamental law of necessity reigns throughout the whole realm
of Nature and that his existence is subject to the law of eternal struggle and strife.
He will then feel that there cannot be M
a separate law for mankind in a
universe in which planets and suns follow their orbits, where moons and
planets trace their destined paths, where the strong are always the masters of
the weak and where the latter must obey or be destroyed.
Man must also submit to the eternal principles of this supreme wisdom.
He may try to understand them but he can never free himself from their sway.
It is just for our intellectual demi-monde that the Jew writes those papers
<p>For them the <i>Frankfurter Zeitung</i> and <i>Berliner Tageblatt</i> are written,
the tone being adapted to them, and it is over
these people that such papers have an influence.
While studiously avoiding all forms of expression that might strike the
reader as crude, the poison is injected from other vials into the hearts of the clientele.
The effervescent tone and the fine phraseology lull the reader into
believing that a love for knowledge and more it principle is the sole driviM
force that determines the policy of such papers, whereas in reality these
features represent a sunning way of disarming any opposition that might be
directed against the press.
Some make a parade of respectability and the imbecile public is all the
more ready to believe them since the others indulge only in moderate ravings
which never amount to abuse of the
freedom of the press
feeding the public on lies and poisoning the public mind is called).
Hence, the authorities are very slow indeM
ed to take any steps against
these journalistic bandits for fear of immediately alienating the sympathy of the
so-called respectable press fear that is only too well founded, for the moment
any attempt is made to proceed against any member of the gutter press all the
others rush to its assistance at once, not indeed to support its policy, but simply
and solely to defend the principles of freedom of the press and liberty of
This outcry will succeed in intimidating the most stalwart, for it comes
the mouth of what is called decent journalism.
In this way the, poison was allowed to enter the national bloodstream
and infect public life, without the government taking any effectual measures to
master the course of the disease.
The ridiculous half-measures that were taken were in themselves an
indication of the process of disintegration that was already threatening to break
up the Reich, for an institution practically surrenders its existence when it is no
Longer determined to defend itself with all the weaponsM
Every half-measure is the outward expression of an internal process of
decay which must lead to an external collapse sooner or later.</p>
<p>I believe that our present generation would easily master this danger, if it
were led aright, for it has gone through certain experiences which must have
strengthened the nerves of all those who were not broken by them.
Certainly in days to come the Jews will raise a tremendous cry in their
newspapers once a hand is laid oM
n their favourite nest, once a move is made to
put an end to this scandalous press and once this instrument which moulds
public opinion is brought under State control and no longer left in the hands of
aliens and enemies of the people.
I am certain that this will be easier for us than it was for our fathers. The
scream of the twelve-inch shell is more penetrating than the hiss of a thousand
Jewish newspaper vipers. Therefore, let them go on with their hissing.
A further example of the weak and hesitating way in whiM
problems were dealt with in pre-war Germany is the following. Hand-in-hand
with the political and moral process of infecting the nation, an equally virulent
process of infection had for many years been attacking the health of the nation.
In large cities particularly, syphilis steadily increased and tuberculosis
kept pace with it in reaping its harvest of death in almost every part of the country.
Although in both cases the effect on the nation was alarming, it seemed
as if nobody were in a positioM
n to undertake any decisive measures against
In the case of syphilis especially, the attitude of the State and the public
authorities was one of absolute capitulation. To combat this state of affairs
measures more sweeping than those actually adopted should have been enforced.
The discovery of a remedy which was of a questionable nature and the
excellent way in which it was placed on the market were of little assistance ill
fighting such a scourge. Here again the only course to adopt is to attack thM
causes rather than the symptoms of the disease, but in this case, the primary
cause is to be found in the manner in which love has been prostituted.
Even though this did not directly bring about the fearful disease itself, the
nation must still suffer serious damage thereby, for the moral havoc resulting
from this prostitution would be sufficient to bring about the destruction of, the
nation, slowly but surely.</p>
<p>This Judaising of our spiritual life and mammonising of ouM
instinct for procreation will sooner or later work havoc with our whole posterity.
Instead of strong, healthy children, the product of natural feelings, we
shall see miserable specimens of humanity resulting from economic
calculation, for economic considerations are becoming more and more the
foundation and the sole preliminary condition of marriage while love looks for
an outlet elsewhere.
Here as elsewhere, one may defy Nature for a certain period of time, but
sooner or later she will take her inevitablM
e revenge, and when man realises
this truth, it is often too late.
Our own nobility furnishes an example of the devastating consequences
that result from a persistent refusal to recognise the primary conditions
necessary for normal wedlock.
Here we are face to face with the results of procreation which is, on the
one hand, determined by social pressure and, on the other, by financial considerations.
The one leads to inherited debility, and the other to adulteration of the
blood-strain; for all the Jewish daughters M
of the department store proprietors
are looked upon as eligible mates to co-operate in propagating his lordship
stock, and the stock certainly looks it. All this leads to absolute degeneration.
Nowadays our bourgeoisie is making efforts to follow in the same path.
Theirs will be a similar fate.
These unpleasant truths are hastily and nonchalantly brushed aside, as if
by so doing the real state of affairs could also be abolished, but it cannot be
denied that the population of our great towns and cities is tendinM
more to avail itself of prostitution in the exercise of its amorous instincts and is
thus becoming more and more contaminated by the scourge of venereal disease.
On the one hand, the visible effects of this mass-infection can be
observed in our lunatic asylums and, on the other hand, alas! among the
children. These are the doleful and tragic products of the steadily increasing
scourge that is poisoning our sexual life. Their sufferings are the visible results
of parental vice.</p>
<p>There are many ways of becoming resigned to this unpleasant and
terrible fact. Many people go about seeing nothing or, to be more correct, not
wanting to see anything. This is by far the simplest and cheapest attitude to adopt.
Others cover themselves in the sacred mantle of prudery, as ridiculous as
it is false. They describe the whole condition of affairs as sinful and are
profoundly indignant when brought face to face with a victim.
They close their eyes to this godless scourge in pious horror M
the Almighty that He
if possible after their own death
and brimstone as on Sodom and Gomorrah and so once again make a lasting
example of this shameless section of humanity.
Finally, there are those who are well aware of the terrible results which
this scourge will inevitably bring about, but they merely shrug their shoulders,
fully convinced of their inability to undertake anything against this peril.
Hence, matters are allowed to take their course.
Undoubtedly all this is very cM
onvenient and simple, only the fact must not
be overlooked that this convenient way of approaching things can leave fatal
consequences for our national life.
The excuse that other nations are not faring any better does not alter the
fact of our own deterioration, except that the feeling of sympathy for other
stricken nations makes our own suffering easier to bear.
But the important question that arises here is, Which nations will be the
first to take the initiative in mastering this scourge, and which nations will
succumb to it? This will be the final upshot of the whole situation. This will be
an acid test of racial value.
The race that fails to come through the test will simply die out and its
place will be taken by the healthier ant stronger races, which will be able to
endure greater hardships.
As this problem primarily concerns posterity, it belongs to that category
of which it is said with terrible justification that the sins of the fathers are
visited on their offspring unto the tenth generation. This is a consequenceM
which follows on an infringement of the laws of blood and race. The sin
against blood and race is the hereditary sin in this world and it brings disaster
on every nation that commits it.</p>
<p>The attitude towards this one vital problem in pre-war Germany was
most regrettable. What measures were adopted to arrest the infection of our
youth in the large cities?
What was done to put an end to the contamination and mammonisation of
sexual life among us? What was done to fight thM
e resultant spreading of
syphilis throughout the whole of our people?
The reply to this question can best be illustrated by showing what should
Instead of tackling this problem in a haphazard way, the authorities
should leave realised that the happiness or unhappiness of future generations
depended on its solution and indeed that the nation
s entire future may, perhaps
needs must, depend thereon.
To have admitted this would have demanded that active measures be
carried out in a ruthless manner. ThM
e primary condition would have been that
the enlightened attention of the whole country should be concentrated on this
terrible danger, so that every individual would realise the importance of
fighting against it.
It would be futile to impose obligations of a definite character which are
often difficult to bear and expect them to become generally effective, unless the
public were thoroughly instructed in the necessity of imposing and accepting
This demands a widespread and systematic method of enlM
all other daily problems that might distract public attention from this great
central problem should be relegated to the background.
In every case where there are exigencies or tasks that seem impossible to
deal with successfully, public opinion must be concentrated on the one
problem, under the conviction that the solution of this problem alone is a
matter of life or death.
Only in this way can public interest be aroused to such a pitch as will
urge people to combine in a great voluntary effort andM
achieve important results.
This fundamental truth applies also to the individual, provided he is
desirous of attaining some great end. He must always concentrate his efforts on
one definitely limited stage of his progress which has to be completed before
the next step be attempted.</p>
<p>Those who do not endeavour to realise their aims step by step, and who
do not concentrate their energy on reaching the individual stages, will never
attain the final objective.
or other they will falter and fail. This systematic way of
approaching an objective is an art in itself and always calls for the expenditure
of every ounce of energy in order to conquer step after step of the road.
Therefore, the most essential preliminary condition necessary for an
attack on such a difficult stage of the human road is that the authorities should
succeed in convincing the masses that the immediate objective which is now
being fought for is the only one that deserves to be considered and the only onM
on which everything depends.
The broad masses are never able to see clearly the whole stretch of the
road lying in front of them, without becoming tired and thus losing faith in their
ability to complete the task.
To a certain extent they will keep the objective in mind, but they are only
able to survey the whole road in small stages, as in the case of the traveller
who knows where his journey is going to end, but who masters the endless
stretch far better by attacking it in stages. Only in this way can he keep uM
determination and reach the final objective.
It is in this way, with the assistance of every form of propaganda, that the
problem of fighting venereal disease should be placed before the public
as a task for the nation but as the main task.
Every possible means should be employed to bring the truth about this
scourge home to the minds of the people, until the whole nation has been
convinced that everything depends on the solution of this problem: that is to
say, a healthy future or national decay.
after such preparatory measures have been taken
spread over a period of many years
will public attention and public
resolution be fully aroused, and only then can serious and definite measures be
undertaken without the risk of these not being fully understood or of the
authorities being suddenly faced with a slackening of the public will.</p>
<p>It must be made clear to all that a serious fight against this scourge calls
for vast sacrifices and an enormous amoM
To wage war against syphilis means fighting against prostitution, against
prejudice, against old-established customs, against current fashion, public
opinion, and, last but not least, again false prudery in certain circles.
The first preliminary condition to be fulfilled, before the State can claim
a moral right to fight against all these things, is that the young generation should
be afforded facilities for contracting early marriages.
Late marriages have the sanction of a custom which, from whatever
angle we view it, is, and will remain, a disgrace to humanity, an institution
which ill befits a creature who is wont to regard himself as having been
Prostitution is a disgrace to humanity and cannot be removed simply by
academic or charitable methods. Its restriction and final extermination
presupposes the removal of a whole series of contributory circumstances.
The first remedy must always be to establish such conditions as will
make early marriages possible, especially for young men
after all, only the passive factor. An illustration of the extent to which people
nowadays are labouring under a delusion, is afforded by the fact that not
infrequently one hears mothers in so-called
circles openly expressing
their satisfaction at having found as a husband for their daughter, a man who
has already sown his wild oats, etc.
As there is usually so little shortage of men of this type, the poor girl
finds no difficulty in getting a mate of this description, and the childrenM
marriage are a visible result of such supposedly sensible unions.
When one realises, apart from this, that every possible effort is being
made to hinder the process of procreation and that Nature is being wilfully
cheated of her rights, there remains really only one question: Why is such an
institution as marriage still in existence, and what are its functions?
Is it really nothing better than prostitution? Does our duty to posterity no
longer play any part? Or do people not realise the nature of the curseM
inflicting on themselves and their offspring by such criminally foolish neglect
of one of the primary laws of Nature?</p>
<p>This is how civilised nations degenerate and gradually perish.
Marriage is not an end in itself but must serve the greater end, which is
that of increasing and maintaining the human species and the race. This is its
only meaning and purpose.
This being admitted, then it is clear that the institution of marriage must
be judged by the manner in whM
ich its allotted function is fulfilled.
Therefore, early marriages should be the rule, because thus the young
couple will still have that pristine force which is the fountainhead of a healthy
posterity with unimpaired powers of resistance.
Of course early marriages cannot be made the rule unless a whole series
of social measures are first introduced without which early marriage cannot
In other words, a solution of this question, which seems a small problem
in itself, cannot be brought about withM
out adopting radical measures to alter the
The importance of such measures ought to be studied and properly
estimated, especially at a time when the so-called
itself unable to solve the housing problem and has thus made it impossible for
innumerable couples to get married. That sort of policy prepares the way for
the further advance of prostitution.
Another reason why early marriages are impossible is our nonsensical
method of regulating the scale of salaries, whicM
h pays far too little attention to
the problem of family support.
Prostitution, therefore, can only be really seriously tackled if, by means
of a radical social reform, early marriage is made easier than hitherto. This is
the first preliminary necessity for the solution of this problem.
Secondly, a whole series of false notions must be eradicated from our
system of bringing up and educating children, a thing which hitherto no one
seems to have worried about.
In our present educational system a balance will have to M
first and foremost, between mental instruction and physical training.
What is known as the Gymnasium to-day is a positive insult to the Greek institution.</p>
<p>Our system of education entirely loses sight of the fact that, in the
long run, a healthy mind can exist only in a healthy body. This statement
applies with few exceptions, particularly to the broad masses of the nation.
In the pre-war Germany there was a time when no one, took the trouble
this truth. Training of the body was criminally neglected,
the one-sided training of the mind being regarded as a sufficient guarantee for the
This mistake was destined to show its effects sooner than had been
anticipated. It is not pure chance that the Bolshevist teaching flourishes in those
regions whose degenerate population has been brought to the verge of
starvation, as, for example, in the case of Central Germany, Saxony, and the Ruhr.
In all these districts there is a marked absence oM
f any serious resistance,
even by the so-called intellectual classes, against this Jewish contagion, and
the simple reason is that the intellectual classes are themselves physically
degenerate, not through privation, but through education.
The exclusive intellectualism of the education in vogue among our upper
classes makes them unfit for life
s struggle in an epoch in which physical force,
and not intellect, is the dominating factor.
Thus, they are neither capable of maintaining themselves, nor of making
ay in life. In nearly every case physical disability is the forerunner of
The extravagant emphasis laid on purely intellectual education and the
consequent neglect of physical training must necessarily lead to sexual thoughts
Those boys whose constitutions have been trained and hardened by
sports and gymnastics are less prone to sexual indulgence than those
stay-at-homes who have been fed exclusively with mental pabulum.
Sound methods of education cannot, however, afford to disrM
and we must not forget that what a healthy young man demands from a woman
will differ from the demands of a weakling who has been prematurely corrupted.</p>
<p>Thus in every branch of our education the day
s curriculum must be
arranged so as to occupy a boy
s free time in profitable development of his
physical powers. He has no right in those years to loaf about, becoming a
nuisance in public streets and in cinemas; but when his day
harden his young body so that his strength may not be found wanting
when the occasion arises.
To prepare for this and to carry it out should be the function of our
educational system and not exclusively to cram him with knowledge.
Our school system must also rid itself of the notion that the training of the
body is a task that should be left to the individual himself. There is no such
thing as freedom to sin against posterity and thus against the race.
The fight against pollution of the mind must be waged simultaneM
with the training of the body. To-day the whole of our public life may be
compared to a hot-house for the forced growth of sexual notions and excitements.
A glance at the till-of-fare provided by our cinemas, playhouses and
theatres, suffices to prove that this is not the right food, especially for our
young people. Hoardings and advertisement kiosks combine to attract the
public in the most vulgar manner.
Anyone who has not altogether lost contact with adolescent yearnings
will realise that all this must havM
e very grave consequences. This seductive
and sensuous atmosphere puts into the heads of our youth notions of which, at
their age, they ought still to be ignorant.
Unfortunately, the results of this kind of education can best be seen in our
contemporary youth who are prematurely grown up and, therefore, old before
The courts of law throw from, time to time a distressing light on the
spiritual life of our fourteen and fifteen-year-old-children.
Who, therefore, will be surprised to learn that venereal disM
as victims at this age? And is it not a frightful scandal to see the number of
young men physically weak and intellectually ruined, who have been
introduced to the mysteries of marriage by the whores of the big cities?
Those who want seriously to combat prostitution must first of all assist
in removing the spiritual conditions on which it thrives.</p>
<p>They will have to clean up the moral pollution of our
fearlessly and without regard for the oM
utcry that will follow.
If we do not drag our youth out of the morass of their present
environment they will be engulfed by it. Those people who do not want to see
these things are deliberately encouraging them and are guilty of spreading the
effects of prostitution to the future, for the future belongs to our younger generation.
This process of cleansing our <i>Kultur</i> will have to be applied in
practically all spheres. The stage, art, literature, the cinema, the press and
advertisement posters, all must have tM
he stains of pollution removed and be
used in the service of a national and cultural ideal.
The life of the people must be freed from the asphyxiating perfume of our
modern eroticism and also from every unmanly and prudish form of insincerity.
In all these things, the aim and the method must be determined by thoughtful
consideration for the preservation of our national well-being in body and soul.
The right to personal freedom comes second in importance to the duty of
preserving the race.
Only after such measures hM
ave been put into practice can a medical
campaign against this scourge begin with some hope of success. But here again
half-measures will be valueless.
Far-reaching and important decisions will have to be made. It would be
doing things by halves if incurables were given the opportunity of infecting one
healthy person after another.
This would be practising that kind of humanitarianism which allows
hundreds to perish in order to prevent the suffering of one individual.
The demand that it should be made impossible foM
r defective people to
continue to propagate defective offspring is a demand that is based on most
reasonable grounds, and its proper fulfilment is the most humane task that
mankind has to face.
Unhappy and undeserved suffering will be prevented in millions of
cases, with the result that there will be a gradual improvement in national health.</p>
<p>A determined decision to act in this manner will at the same time
provide an obstacle against the further spread of venereal diseasM
It would then be a case, where necessary, of mercilessly isolating all
perhaps a barbaric measure for those unfortunates
for the present generation and for posterity.
The temporary pain thus experienced in this century can, and will, save
thousands of future generations from suffering.
The fight against syphilis and its pace-maker, prostitution, is one of the
gigantic tasks of mankind; gigantic, because it is not merely a case of solving a
single problem, but of the removal of a whoM
le series of evils which are the
contributory causes of this scourge.
Disease of the body in this case is merely the result of a diseased
condition of the moral, social, and racial instincts.
If, for reasons of indolence or cowardice, this fight is not fought to a
finish, we may imagine what conditions will be like five centuries hence. Little
s image will be left in human nature, except to mock the Creator.
What has been done in Germany to counteract this scourge? If we think
calmly over the answer we shaM
ll find it distressing.
It is true that in governmental circles the terrible and injurious effects of
this disease were well known, but the counter-measures which were officially
adopted were ineffective and a hopeless failure.
They tinkered with cures for the symptoms wholly regardless of the
cause of the disease. Prostitutes were medically examined and controlled as
far as possible, and when signs of infection were apparent they were sent to hospital.
When outwardly cured, they were once more let loose on humanitM
protective legislation
was introduced which made sexual intercourse
a punishable offence for all those not completely cured, or for those suffering
from venereal disease.
This legislation was correct in theory, but in practice, it failed
completely. In the First place, in the majority of cases women will decline to
appear in court as witnesses against men who have robbed them of their health.</p>
<p>Women would be exposed far more than men to uncharitabM
such cases, and one can imagine what their position would be if they had been
infected by their own husbands.
Should women in that case bring a charge? Or what should they do? In
the case of the man there is the additional fact that he is frequently unfortunate
enough to run up against this danger when he is under the influence of alcohol.
His condition makes it impossible for him to assess the qualities of his
a fact which is well known to every diseased prostitute and
single out men in this
condition for preference.
The result is that the unfortunate man is not able to recollect later on who
his compassionate benefactress was, which is not surprising in cities like
Many such cases are visitors from the provinces who, held helpless and
enthralled by the magic charm of city life, become an easy prey for prostitutes.
Finally, who is able to say whether he has been
infected or not? Are
there not innumerable cases on record where an apparently curedM
relapse and does untold harm without knowing it?
Therefore, in practice, the results of these legislative measures are
negative. The same applies to the control of prostitution, and, finally, even
medical treatment and cure are to-day still unsafe and doubtful.
One thing only is certain, the scourge has spread further and further in
spite of all precautionary measures, and this alone suffices definitely to prove
and substantiate their inefficacy.
Everything else that was undertaken was just as ineffecM
absurd. The spiritual prostitution of the people was neither arrested nor was
anything whatsoever undertaken in this direction.
Those, however, who do not regard this subject as a serious one would
do well to examine the statistical data of the spread of this disease, study its
growth in the last century and contemplate the possibilities of its further
development. The ordinary observer, unless he were particularly stupid, would
experience a cold shudder if the a certain historical value, rather thanM
products of not merely artistic but even mental degeneration bordering on the futile.</p>
<p>Here, in the cultural sphere, the signs of the coming political collapse
first became manifest.
The Bolshevisation of art is the only cultural form of life and the only
spiritual manifestation of which Bolshevism is capable.
Anyone to whom this statement may appear strange need only take a
glance at those lucky States which have become Bolshevised and, to his horror,
recognise those morbid monstrosities which have been produced
by insane and degenerate people.
All those artistic aberrations which, since the beginning of the present
century, have been classified under the names Cubism and Dadaism, are
manifestations of art which have come to be officially recognised by the State itself.
This phenomenon made its appearance even during the short-lived
period of the Soviet Republic in Bavaria. At that time one might easily have
recognised how all the official posters, propaganda piM
ctures and newspapers,
etc., showed signs not only of political, but also of cultural decadence.
About sixty years ago a political collapse such as we are experiencing
to-day would have been just as inconceivable as the cultural decline which has
been manifested in Cubist and Futurist pictures ever since 1900.
Sixty years ago an exhibition of so-called Dadaist
have been an absolutely preposterous idea. The organisers of such an
exhibition would then have been certified fit for the lunatic asM
to-day they are appointed presidents of art societies.
At that time such an epidemic would never have been allowed to spread.
Public opinion would not have tolerated it, and the government would not have
remained silent, for it is the duty of a government to save the people from being
driven into such intellectual madness.
Intellectual madness would have resulted from a development that
followed the acceptance of this kind of art. It would have marked one of the
worst changes in human history, for it M
would have meant that a retrogressive
process had begun to take place in the human brain, the final stages of which
would have been unthinkable.
If we study the course of our cultural life during the last twenty-five
years we shall be astonished to note how far we have already gone in this
process of retrogression.</p>
<p>Everywhere we find the presence of those germs which give rise to
protuberant growths that must sooner or later bring about the ruin of our
ind undoubted symptoms of slow corruption, and woe to the
nations that are no longer able to bring that morbid process to a halt! In almost
all the various fields of German art and culture these morbid phenomena may
be observed. Here everything seems to have passed the culminating point of its
excellence and to have entered the curve of a hasty decline.
At the beginning of the century the theatres seemed already degenerate
and ceased to be cultural factors, except the Court theatres, which opposed the
of the national art.
Apart from these, and a few other praiseworthy exceptions, the plays
produced on the stage were of such a nature that people would have benefited
by not visiting them at all.
A sad symptom of internal decay was manifested in the fact that it was
impossible to allow adolescents to frequent most of these so-called
a brazen admission that this was so, being the notice exhibited at the
entrance-doors: Adults only.
Let it be borne in mind that these precautions had to be taken M
institutions whose main purpose should have been to promote the education of
the youth and not merely to provide amusement for sophisticated adults.
What would the great dramatists of other times have said of such
measures and, above all, of the conditions which made these measures
necessary? How exasperated Schiller would have been, and how Goethe
would have turned away in disgust!
But what are Schiller, Goethe and Shakespeare when confronted with the
heroes of our modern German literature? Old, frowsM
y, out-moded and finished,
for it was typical of this epoch that not only were its own products bad, but that
it reviled everything that had been really great in the past.
This is a phenomenon that is very characteristic of such epochs. The
more vile and miserable the men and products of an epoch, the more they will
hate and denigrate the ideal achievements of former generations.</p>
<p>What these people would like best would be to destroy completely every
vestige of the past, M
in order to do away with that sole standard of comparison
which prevents their own daubs from being looked upon as art.
Therefore the more lamentable and wretched the products of each new
era, the more it will try to obliterate all the memorials of the past. Any real
innovation that is for the benefit of mankind can always face comparison with
the best of what has gone before, and frequently even serves to reveal the true
value of the latter.
There is no fear that modem productions of real value will look pale and
worthless beside the monuments of the past. What is contributed to the general
treasury of human culture often fulfils a part that is necessary in order to keep
the memory of old achievements alive, because this memory alone is the
standard whereby our own works are properly appreciated.
Only those who have nothing of value to give to the world, but pretend
that they have much to bestow, will oppose everything that already exists and
would have it destroyed at all costs. This holds good not only for new
n the cultural domain, but also in politics. The more inferior new
revolutionary movements are, the more will they try to denigrate the old forms.
Here again the desire to palm off their shoddy products as great and
original achievements leads them into a blind hatred against everything which
belongs to the past and which is superior to their own work.
As long as the historical memory of Frederick the Great, for instance,
still lives, Friedrich Ebert can arouse only a problematic admiration. The
relation of the herM
o of Sans Souci to the former publican of Bremen may be
compared to that of the sun to the moon, for the moon can shine only after the
direct rays of the sun have left the earth.
Thus we can readily understand why it is that all the new moons in
human history have hated the fixed stars. In the field of politics, if Fate should
happen temporarily to place the ruling power in the hands of these nonentities,
they are not only eager to defile and revile the past, but at the same time they
will use any means to evade crM
iticism of their own acts.
The Law for the Protection of the Republic, which the new German State
enacted, may be taken as an example illustrating this truth.</p>
<p>One has good reason to be suspicious in regard to any new idea, or any
doctrine or philosophy, any political or economic movement, which tries to
deny everything that the past has produced or to represent it as inferior and worthless.
Such an antipathy is usually due to a sense of inferiority or to malicious
ion. Any new movement which is really beneficial to human progress
will always have to begin its constructive work at the level at which the last
stones of the structure have been laid.
It need not blush to utilise those truths which have already been
established, for all human culture, as well as man himself, is only the result of
one long line of development, where each generation has contributed its share
in the building of the whole structure.
The meaning and purpose of revolutions cannot be to tear down the
ole building, but to take away what has not been well fitted into it or is
unsuitable, and to fill in the gap thus caused, after which the main construction
of the building will be carried on.
Only thus will it be possible to talk of human progress, for otherwise the
world would never be free of chaos, since each generation would feel entitled
to reject the past, and to destroy all the work of the past, as the necessary
preliminary to any new work of its own.
The saddest feature of the condition in which our whole M
found itself before the War was the fact that it was not only barren of any
creative force to produce its own works of art and civilisation but that it hated,
defiled and tried to efface the memory of the superior works produced in the
past. About the end of the last century people were less interested in producing
new significant works of their own
particularly in the fields of dramatic art
than in defaming the best works of the past and in presenting
them as inferior and antiquatedM
As if this period of disgraceful decadence was capable of accomplishing
anything! The efforts made to conceal the past from the eyes of the present
afforded clear evidence of the fact that these apostles of the future acted from
These symptoms should have made it clear to all that it was not a
question of new, though wrong, cultural ideas, but of a process which was
undermining the very foundations of civilisation.</p>
<p>It threw the artistic feeling which haM
d hitherto been quite sane into utter
confusion, thus spiritually preparing the way for political Bolshevism. If the
creative spirit of the Periclean age be manifested in the Parthenon, then the
Bolshevist era is manifested by a cubist mask.
In this connection attention must be drawn once again to the want of
courage displayed by one section of our people, namely, by those who, in
virtue of their education and position, ought to have felt themselves obliged to
take up a firm stand against this outrage against our cM
ulture, but they refrained
from offering serious resistance and surrendered to what they considered the inevitable.
This inaction of theirs was due, however, to sheer funk lest the apostles
of Bolshevist art might raise a rumpus; for those apostles always violently
attacked everyone who was not ready to recognise them as the choice spirits of
artistic creation, and they tried to strangle all opposition by saying that it was
the product of Philistine and backwater minds.
People trembled in fear lest they might be acM
cused by these yahoos and
swindlers of lacking artistic appreciation, as if it would have been a disgrace
not to be able to understand and appreciate the effusions of those mental
degenerates or cunning rogues.
Those cultural disciples, however, had a very simple way of presenting
their own effusions as works of the highest quality.
They offered incomprehensible and manifestly crazy productions to their
amazed contemporaries as what they called
an inner experience.
Thus they forestalled all adverse criticism,M
at very little cost indeed. Of
course, nobody ever doubted that there could have been inner experiences like
that; but some doubt ought to have arisen as to whether or not there was any
justification for exhibiting these hallucinations of psychopaths or criminals to
the sane portion of human society.
The works produced by a Moritz von Schwind or a Bocklin were also
the fruits of an inner experience, but these were the experiences of divinely
gifted artists and not of buffoons. This situation afforded a good opportM
studying the miserable cowardliness of our so-called intellectuals who shirked
the duty of offering serious resistance to the poisoning of the sound instincts of
<p>They left it to the people themselves to formulate their own attitude
towards this impudent nonsense. Lest they might be considered as
understanding nothing of art, they accepted every caricature of art, until, they
finally lost the power of judging what was really good or bad.
all, there were superabundant symptoms to show that a
diseased epoch had begun.
Still another critical symptom has to be considered. In the course of the
nineteenth century our towns and cities began more and more to lose their
character as centres of civilisation and became more and more centres of habitation.
In our great modem cities the proletariat does not show much attachment
to the place where it lives. This feeling results from the fact that their
dwelling-place is nothing but an accidental abode, and is alM
so partly due to the
frequent change of residence which is forced upon them by social conditions.
There is no time for the growth of any attachment to the town in which
they live. Another reason lies in the cultural barrenness and superficiality of
our modern cities. At the time of the German Wars of Liberation our German
towns and cities were not only small in number, but also very modest in size.
The few that could really be called great cities were mostly the
residential cities of princes; as such they had almosM
t always a definite cultural
value and also a definite cultural aspect.
Those few towns which had more than fifty thousand inhabitants were, in
comparison with modern cities of the same size, rich in scientific and artist,
treasures. At the time when Munich had a population of not more than sixty
thousand souls it was already well on the way to becoming one of the first
centres of German art.
Nowadays, almost every industrial town has a population at least as
large as that, without having anything of real value to M
call its own. They are
agglomerations of tenement houses and congested dwelling-houses, and nothing else.
It would be a miracle if anybody should grow sentimentally attached to
such a meaningless place. Nobody can grow attached to a place which offers
only just as much, or as little, as any other place would offer, which, has no
character of its own and where obviously pains have been taken to avoid
everything that might have any resemblance to an artistic appearance.</p>
t this is not all. Even the great cities become more barren of real
works of art the more they increase in population. They assume more and more
a neutral atmosphere and present the same aspect, though on a larger scale, as
the wretched little factory towns.
Everything that our modern age has contributed to the cultural aspect of
our great cities is absolutely deficient. All our towns are living on the glory
and the treasures of the past.
If we take away from the Munich of to-day everything that was created
udwig I, we should be horror-stricken to see how meagre has been the
output of important artistic creations since that time.
One might say much the same of Berlin and most of our other great towns.
The following is the essential thing to be noticed. Our great modern
cities have no outstanding monuments that dominate the general aspect of the
city and could be pointed to as the symbols of a whole epoch, yet almost every
ancient town had a monument erected to its glory.
It was not in private dwellings that the characM
teristic art of ancient cities
was displayed, but in the public monuments which were not meant to have a
transitory interest but an enduring one.
This was because they did not represent the wealth of some individual
citizen but the greatness and importance of the community.
It was under this inspiration that those monuments arose which bound the
individual inhabitants to their own town in a manner that is often almost
incomprehensible to us to-day.
What struck the eye of the individual citizen was not a number of
ediocre private buildings, but imposing structures that belonged to the whole community.
In contradistinction to these, private dwellings were of only very
secondary importance indeed.
When we compare the size of those ancient public buildings with that of
the private dwellings belonging to the same epoch, then we can understand the
great importance which was attached to the principle that those works which
reflected and affected the life of the community should take precedence of all others.</p>
<p>Among the broken arches and vast spaces that are covered with ruins
from the ancient world the colossal monuments which still arouse our wonder
have not been left to us from the commercial palaces of those days but from the
temples of the gods and the public edifices that belonged to the State.
The community itself was the owner of those great edifices. Even in the
pomp of Rome during the decadence it was not the villas and palaces of the
citizens that occupied the most prominent place, but rM
ather the temples and the
baths, the stadia, the circuses, the aqueducts, the basilicas, etc., which
belonged to the State and therefore to the people as a whole.
In medieval Germany also, the same principle held good, although the
artistic outlook was quite different. In ancient times the theme that found its
expression in the Acropolis or the Pantheon was now clothed in the form of the
In the medieval cities these monumental structures towered gigantically
above the swarm of smaller buildings, wM
ith their framework walls of wood
and brick, and they remain the dominant feature of these cities even to our own
day, although they are becoming more and more obscured by the tenement houses.
They determine the character and appearance of the locality. Cathedrals,
city halls, corn-exchanges, forts, are the outward expression of an idea which
has its counterpart only in the ancient world.
The dimensions and quality of our public buildings to-day are in
deplorable contrast to the edifices that, represent private intM
If a similar fate should befall Berlin as befell Rome, future generations
might gaze upon the ruins of some Jewish department stores or joint-stock
hotels and think that these were the characteristic expressions of the culture of
In Berlin itself, compare the shameful disproportion between the
buildings which belong to the Reich and those which have been erected for the
accommodation of trade and finance.</p>
<p>The funds that are voted for public buildings arM
inadequate and really ridiculous. They are not built as structures that were
meant to last, but mostly for the purpose of answering the need of the moment.
No higher idea influenced those who commissioned such buildings.
At the time the Berlin Schloss was built, it had quite a different
significance to that which the new library has for our time, seeing that one
battleship alone represents an expenditure of about sixty million marks,
whereas less than half that sum was allotted for the building of tM
the most imposing structure erected for the Reich, which should have been
built to last for ages.
Yet, in deciding the question of internal decoration, the august House
voted against the use of stone and ordered that the walls should be covered
For once, however, the parliamentarians made an appropriate decision
on that occasion, for wooden heads would be out of place between stone walls.
The community as such is not the dominant characteristic of our
contemporary cities, and therefore itM
is not to be wondered at if the community
does not find itself architecturally represented. Thus we must eventually arrive
at a veritable civic desert which will finally be reflected in the total
indifference of the individual citizen towards his own city.
This is also a sign of our cultural decay and general break-up.
Our era is entirely preoccupied with petty materialistic considerations,
or rather it is entirely preoccupied with the question of money.
Therefore, it is not to be wondered at if, with the worship M
idol, the sense of heroism should entirely disappear, but the present is only
reaping what the past had sown.
All these symptoms which preceded the final collapse of the Second
Reich must be attributed to the lack of a definite and uniformly accepted
<i>Weltanschauung</i> and the general uncertainty of outlook consequent on that lack.
This uncertainty showed itself when the great questions of the time had to
be considered one after another and a decisive policy adopted towards them.</p>
<p>This lack is also .accountable for the habit of doing everything by halves,
beginning with the educational system, the shilly-shallying, the reluctance to
undertake responsibility and, finally, the cowardly tolerance of evils that were
even admitted to be destructive.
Visionary humanitarianism became the fashion. By weakly submitting to
these aberrations and sparing the feelings of the individual, the future of
millions of human beings was sacrificed.
An examination of the religious situatioM
n before the War shows that the
general process of disruption had extended to this sphere also. A great part of
the nation itself had, for a long time past, ceased to have any convictions of a
uniform and practical character in their ideological outlook on life.
In this matter the point of primary importance was by no means the
number of people who renounced their church membership, but rather the
widespread indifference.
While the two Christian denominations maintained missions in Asia and
Africa, for the purpose M
of securing new adherents to the faith, these same
denominations were losing millions and millions of their adherents at home in Europe.
These former adherents either gave up religion wholly as a directive
force in their lives, or they adopted their own interpretation of it.
The consequences of this were specially felt in the moral life of the
country. In parenthesis it may be remarked that the progress made by the
missions in spreading the Christian faith abroad was very modest in
comparison with the spread of MohM
It must be noted, too, that the attack on the dogmatic principles
underlying ecclesiastical teaching increased steadily in violence, and yet this
human world of ours would be inconceivable without the practical existence of
The great masses of a nation are not composed of philosophers. For the
masses of the people especially, faith is absolutely the only basis of a moral
<i>Weltanschauung</i>. The various substitutes that have been offered have not
shown any results that might warranM
t us in thinking that they might usefully
replace the existing denominations, but if religious teaching and religious faith
are to be accepted by the broad masses as active forces in their lives, then the
absolute authority of the doctrines of faith must be the foundation of all reality.</p>
<p>There may be a few hundreds of thousands of superior men who can live
wisely and intelligently without depending on the general standards that
prevail in everyday life, but the millions M
of others cannot do so.
Now, the place which general custom fills in everyday life, corresponds
to that of general laws in the State and dogma in religion.
The purely spiritual idea is of itself a changeable thing that may be
subjected to endless interpretations. It is only through dogma that it is given a
precise and concrete form without which it could not become a living faith.
Otherwise, the spiritual idea would never become anything more than a
mere metaphysical concept, or rather a philosophical opinion.
rdingly, the attack on dogma is comparable to an attack on the
general laws on which the State is founded, and so this attack would finally
lead to complete political anarchy if it were successful, just as the attack on
religion would lead to a worthless religious nihilism.
The political leader should not estimate the worth of a religion by taking
some of its shortcomings into account, but should ask himself whether there be
any practical substitute which is obviously better. Until such a substitute is
ly fools and criminals would think of abolishing the existing religion.
Undoubtedly, no small amount of blame for the present unsatisfactory
religious situation must be attributed to those who have encumbered the ideal
of religion with purely material accessories and have thus given rise to an
utterly futile conflict between religion and science.
In this conflict, victory will nearly always be on the side of science,
although after a bitter struggle, while religion will suffer heavily in the eyes of
t penetrate beneath mere superficial learning.
The greatest damage of all has come from the practice of abusing
religious conviction in order to further political aims. Most severe measures
should be adopted against these miserable swindlers who look on religion
merely as a means that can be exploited to serve political interests, or rather
commercial ends.</p>
<p>The impudent and loud-mouthed liars who do this make their profession
of faith before the whole world in stentorianM
tones so that all poor mortals may
hear-not that they are ready to die for it if necessary, but rather that they may
live all the better.
They are ready to sell their faith for any political quid pro quo. For ten
parliamentary mandates they would ally themselves with the Marxists, who are
the mortal foes of all religion, and for a seat in the Cabinet they would go the
length of wedlock with the devil, if the latter had not still retained some traces
of decency which would lead him to refuse. If religious life in pM
Germany had a disagreeable savour in the mouths of many people, this was
because Christianity had been lowered to base uses by political parties that
called themselves Christian and because of the shameful way in which they
tried to identify the Catholic Faith with a political party.
This substitution was fatal. It procured some worthless parliamentary
mandates for the party in question, but the Church suffered damage thereby.
The consequences of that situation had to be borne by the whole nation,
xity that resulted in religious life set in at a juncture when everything
was beginning to lose stability and vacillate, and the traditional foundations of
custom and of morality were threatening to fall asunder.
Yet all those cracks and clefts in the social organism might not have been
dangerous if no grave burdens had been laid upon it; but they became
disastrous when the internal solidarity of the nation was the most important
factor in withstanding the storm of big events.
In the political field also, observantM
eyes might have noticed certain
faults in the Reich which foretold disaster unless some alteration and
correction took place in time.
The lack of orientation in German policy, both domestic and foreign, was
obvious to everyone who was not purposely blind.
The best thing that could be said about the practice of making
compromises is that it seemed outwardly to be in harmony with Bismarck
saying that politics is the art of accomplishing the possible, but Bismarck was
a slightly different man from the ChancellorsM
This difference allowed the former to apply that formula to the very
essence of his policy, while in the mouths of the others it took on an utterly
different significance.</p>
<p>When he uttered that phrase, Bismarck meant to say that in order to attain
a definite political end all possible means should be employed, or at least that
all possibilities should be investigated, but his successors saw in that phrase
only a solemn declaration that one is not necessM
arily bound to have political
principles or any definite political aims at all.
The political leaders of the Reich at that time had no far-seeing policy.
Here again, the necessary foundation was lacking, namely, a definite
<i>Weltanschauung</i>, and those leaders also lacked that clear insight into the laws
of political evolution which is a necessary quality in political leadership.
Many people who took a gloomy view of things at that time condemned
the lack of ideas and lack of orientation which were evident in diM
policy of the Reich. They recognised the inner weakness and futility of this
policy, but such people played only a secondary role in politics.
Those who had the government of the country in their hands were quite
as indifferent to principles of civil wisdom laid down by thinkers like Houston
Stewart Chamberlain as are our political leaders to-day. These people are too
stupid to think for themselves, and they have too much self-conceit to take from
others the instruction which they need. Oxenstierna gaveM
expression to a truth
which has lasted since time immemorial, when he said that the world is
governed by only a particle of wisdom, and it can be said of practically every
higher government official that he represents but a tiny atom of this particle.
Since Germany became a Republic even this modicum is wanting, and
that is why they had to promulgate the Law for the Defence of the Republic,
which prohibits the holding of such views or the expression of them.
It was fortunate for Oxenstierna that he lived at that tM
wise Republic of our day. Even before the war that institution which should
have represented the strength of the Reich
the parliament, the Reichstag
was widely recognised as its weakest feature. Cowardliness and fear of
shouldering responsibilities were associated together there to perfection.
One of the silliest notions that one hears expressed to-day is that in
Germany the parliamentary system has proved a failure since the Revolution.
This might easily be taken to imply that the case wasM
different before the
Revolution, but in reality the parliamentary system can never function except to
the detriment of the country, and it functioned thus in those days when people
saw nothing or did not wish to see anything.</p>
<p>The German downfall is to be attributed in no small degree, to this
system, but that the catastrophe did not take place sooner is not to the credit of
the Reichstag, but rather to those who opposed the influence of this institution
ace time, was digging the grave of the German Nation and the
From the immense mass of devastating evils that were due either directly
or indirectly to the Reichstag, I shall select the one most intimately typical of
this institution which was the most irresponsible of all time.
The evil I speak of was seen in the appalling shilly-shally and weakness
in conducting the internal and external affairs of the Reich. It was attributable
in the first place to the action of the Reichstag and was one of the priM
causes of the political collapse.
Everything subject to the influence of this parliament was done by
halves, no matter from what aspect you may regard it. The foreign policy of the
Reich in the matter of alliances was an example of shilly-shally. They wished
to maintain peace, but in doing so, they steered straight for war.
Their Polish policy was also carried out by half-measures. It acted as an
irritant, but achieved no positive results. It resulted neither in a German
triumph nor a Polish conciliation, anM
d it made enemies of the Russians.
They tried to solve the Alsace-Lorraine question through half-measures.
Instead of crushing the head of the French hydra once and for all with the
mailed fist and granting Alsace-Lorraine equal rights with the other German
states, they did neither the one nor the other.
Anyhow, it was impossible for them to do otherwise, for they had among
their ranks the greatest traitors to the country, such as Herr Wetterl
But still the country might have been able to beaM
r with all this provided
the half-measure policy had not victimized that force on which, as the last
resort, the existence of the Reich depended, namely, the Army.
The crime committed by the so-called German Reichstag in this regard
was sufficient of itself to draw down upon it the curses of the German nation for all time.</p>
<p>On the most miserable of pretexts these parliamentary partyhenchmen filched
from the hands of the nation and threw away, the weapons
d to maintain its existence and thereby defend the liberty and
independence of our people.
If the graves on the plains of Flanders were to open to-day the blood-stained
accusers would arise, hundreds of thousands of our best German youth
who, thanks to those conscienceless parliamentary criminals were delivered,
badly trained or only half-trained, into the arms of Death.
Those youths and other millions of the killed and mutilated were lost to
the Fatherland simply and solely in order that a few hundred deceivers oM
people might carry out their political manoeuvres and their exactions, or even
continue to recite their doctrinaire theories.
By means of the Marxist and democratic press, the Jews spread the
colossal falsehood about
throughout the world and tried to
inculpate Germany by every possible means, while at the same time the
Marxist and democratic parties refused to assent to the measures that were
necessary for the adequate training of our national defence forces.
The appalling crime thus cM
ommitted by these persons ought to have been
obvious to everybody who foresaw that in case of war the whole nation would
have to be called to arms and that, because of the mean huckstering of these
representatives of the people,
as they called themselves, millions of
Germans would have to face the enemy ill-equipped and insufficiently trained.
But, even apart from the consequences of the crude and brutal lack of
conscience which these parliamentarian rascals displayed, it was quite clear
f properly trained soldiers at the beginning of a war would most
probably lead to the loss of the said war; and this probability was confirmed in
a most terrible way during the course of the World War.
Therefore, the German people lost the struggle for the freedom and
independence of their country because of the half-hearted and defective policy
employed during times of peace in the organisation and training of the
defensive strength of the nation.
The number of recruits trained for the land forces was too small, bM
same half-heartedness was shown in regard to the Navy and made this weapon
of national self-preservation more or less ineffective.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, even the naval authorities themselves were contaminated
with this spirit of half-heartedness. The tendency to build the ship on the stocks
somewhat smaller than that just launched by the British showed little foresight
A fleet which cannot be brought to the same numerical strength as that of
enemy ought to compensate for this inferiority by the superior
fighting power of the individual ship.
It is the weight of the fighting power that counts and not any sort of
traditional quality. As a matter of fact, modem technical development is so
advanced and so well-proportioned among the various civilised States that it
must be looked on as practically impossible for one Power to build vessels
which would have a superior fighting quality to that of the vessels of equal size
built by the other Powers.
n less feasible to build vessels of smaller displacement which
will be superior in action to those of larger displacement. As a matter of fact,
the smaller proportions of the German vessels could be maintained only at the
expense of speed and armament. The phrase used to justify this policy was in
itself evidence of the lack of logical thinking on the part of the naval authorities
who were in charge of these matters in times of peace. They declared that the
German guns were definitely superior to the British, so thM
at the German 28 cm.
gun was just as effective as the British 30.5 cm. gun.
But that was just why they should have adopted the policy of building
30.5 cm. guns also; for it ought to have been their object not to achieve
equality, but superiority, in fighting strength.
If that were not so, then it would have been superfluous to equip the land
forces with 42 cm. mortars, since the German 21 cm. mortar was far superior
to any high-angle guns which the French possessed at that time and
consequently the fortresses couldM
probably have been taken by means of 30.5 cm. mortars.
The army authorities calculated correctly, the naval authorities
unfortunately failed to do so. If they were willing to forego superiority of
armaments as well as of speed, this was because of the fundamentally false
which they adopted.</p>
<p>The naval authorities, even in times of peace, renounced the principle of
attack and thus had to follow a defensive policy from the very beginning of the
but by this attitude they renounced also the chances of final success,
which can be achieved only by taking the offensive. A vessel of slower speed
and weaker armament will be crippled and battered by an adversary that is
faster and stronger at a distance which gives the latter an advantage.
A large number of cruisers have been through bitter experiences of this
kind. How wrong the ideas prevalent among the naval authorities in times of
peace were, was proved during the war.
They were compelled to modify the armamM
ent of the old vessels and to
equip the new ones with better armament whenever there was a chance to do so.
If the German vessels in the Battle of Jutland had been of equal size, the
same armament and the same speed as the British, the British Fleet would have
gone down under the tempest of German 38 cm. shells, which hit their mark
more accurately and were more effective.
Japan had followed a different kind of naval policy. There, as a matter of
principle, care was taken to create with every single new vessel a fiM
force that would be superior to that of the eventual adversaries, but because of
this policy, it was afterwards possible to use the fleet for the offensive.
While the army authorities refused to adopt such fundamentally
erroneous principles, the Navy
which unfortunately had more representatives
succumbed to the spirit that ruled there.
The Navy was not organised on a strong basis, and it was later used in
an unsystematic and irresolute way. The immortal glory which the Navy won,
these drawbacks, must be entirely credited to the good work, the
efficiency and incomparable heroism of officers and crews.
If its former commanders-in-chief had been, inspired with a like degree
of genius, all the sacrifices would not have been in vain.
It was probably the very parliamentarian skill displayed by the chief of
the Navy during the years of peace which later became the cause of the fatal
collapse, since parliamentarian considerations had begun to play a more
important role in the construction of the M
Navy than fighting considerations.</p>
<p>The irresolution, the weakness and the failure to adopt a logically
consistent policy, which is typical of the parliamentary system, contaminated
the naval authorities.
As I have already emphasised, the military authorities did not allow
themselves to be led astray by such fundamentally erroneous ideas.
Ludendorff, who was then a colonel on the General Staff, led a desperate
struggle against the criminal vacillations with which the ReicM
most vital problems of the nation, and in most cases voted against them.
If the fight which this officer then waged remained unsuccessful, this
must be ascribed to the parliament and partly also to the wretched and weak
attitude of the Chancellor, Bethmann-Hollweg.
Yet those who are responsible for Germany
s collapse do not hesitate
now to lay the blame on the shoulders of the one man who took a firm stand
against the neglectful manner in which the interests of the nation were
alsehood more or less makes no difference to these born
tricksters.Anybody who thinks of all the sacrifices which this nation has had to
bear, as a result of the criminal neglect of those irresponsible individuals;
anybody who thinks of the number of those who died or were maimed
unnecessarily; anybody who thinks of the deplorable shame and dishonour
which has been heaped upon us and of the illimitable distress into which our
people are now plunged
anybody who realises that all this had to happen in
are the way to a seat in parliament for some unscrupulous
, will understand that such hirelings can be called
by no other name than that of rascal and criminal, for otherwise those words
would have no meaning.
In comparison with traitors who betrayed the nation
s trust, every other
kind of twister may be looked upon as an honourable man.
It was a peculiar feature of the situation that all the real faults of the old
Germany were exposed to the public gaze only when the inner solidariM
nation could be injured by doing so. Then indeed unpleasant truths were openly
proclaimed in the ears of the broad masses, while many other things were at
other times shamefully hushed up or their existence simply denied, especially
at times when an open discussion of such problems might have led to an improvement.
The higher government authorities knew little or nothing of the nature and
use of propaganda in such matters.</p>
<p>Only the Jew knew that by an able and
persistent use of propaganda, heaven itself can be presented to the people as if
it were hell and, vice versa, the most miserable kind of life can be presented
as if it were paradise.
The Jew knew this and acted accordingly, but the German, or rather his
government, did not have the slightest suspicion of it.
During the war, the heaviest of penalties had to be paid for that
ignorance. Over against the innumerable drawbacks which I have mentioned
here and which affected German life before the war there were many
standing features on the positive side.
If we take an impartial survey, we must admit that most of our drawbacks
were in great measure prevalent also in other countries and among the other
nations, and very often in a worse form than with us, whereas among us there
were many real advantages which the others did not have.
s advantages was the fact that, of all the European
nations, the German nation was almost the only one which had made a great
effort to preserve the national character of its M
economic structure and for this
reason was less subject than other countries to the power of international
finance, though indeed there were many untoward symptoms in this regard
also, and yet this advantage was a perilous one and turned out later to be one
of the chief causes of the World War. Even if we disregard this advantage of
national independence in economic matters, there were certain other positive
features of our social and political life which were of outstanding excellence.
These features were represenM
ted by three institutions which were
constant sources of regeneration. In their respective spheres they were models
of perfection and efficiency.
The first of these was the constitution as such and the manner in which it
had been developed in Germany in modern times. Of course we must except
those monarchs who, as human beings, were subject to the failings which
afflict this world and its children.
If we were not so tolerant in these matters, then the case of the present
generation would be hopeless, nor if we takeM
into consideration the personal
capabilities and character of the representative figures in our present regime, it
would be difficult to imagine a more modest level of intelligence and moral character.</p>
<p>If we measure the
of the German Revolution by the personal
worth and calibre of the individuals whom this revolution has presented to the
German people since November 1918, then we may feel ashamed indeed in
thinking of the judgment which posterity will pass M
on these individuals, when
the Law for the Protection of the Republic can no longer silence public opinion.
Coming generations will surely decide that the intelligence and integrity
of our new German leaders were in inverse ratio to their boasting and their vices.
It must be admitted that the monarchy had become alien in spirit to many
citizens and especially to the broad masses. This resulted from the fact that the
monarchs were not always surrounded by, let us say, the highest intellect and
certainly not always bM
y persons of the most upright character.
Unfortunately, many of them preferred flatterers to honest-spoken men
and hence received their
from the former. This was a source of
grave danger at a time when the world was passing through a period in which
many of the old conditions were changing and when this change was affecting
even the traditions of the Court.
The average man or woman could not have felt any particular enthusiasm
when, for example, at the close of the century, a princess in uniform aM
horseback had the soldiers file past her on parade.
Those high circles had apparently no idea of the impression which such
a parade made on the minds of ordinary people, else such unfortunate
occurrences would not have taken place.
The sentimental humanitarianism
not always very sincere
professed in those high circles was often more repulsive than attractive.
When, for instance, the Princess X condescended to taste the products of

<p>Even the best of intentions thus became an object of ridicule or a cause of exasperation.
Descriptions of the proverbial frugality pM
ractised by the monarch, his
much too early rise in the morning and the drudgery he had to go through all
day long until late at night, and especially the constantly expressed fears lest he
might become undernourished
all this gave rise to ominous remarks on the
Nobody was keen to know what and how much the monarch ate or drank.
Nobody grudged him a full meal, or the necessary amount of sleep.
Everybody was pleased when the monarch, as a man and a personality,
brought honour on his family and M
his country and fulfilled his duties as a
sovereign. All the legends which were circulated about him helped little and
These and such things, however, are mere bagatelles: What was much
worse was the feeling, which spread throughout large sections of the nation,
that the affairs of the individual were being taken care of from above and that
he did not need to bother himself with them.
As long as the government was really good, or at least moved by
goodwill, no serious objections could be raised, buM
t the country was destined
to disaster when the old government, which had at least striven for the best,
was replaced by a new regime which was not of the same quality.
Then the docile obedience and infantile credulity which formerly offered
no resistance was bound to be one of the most fatal evils that can be imagined.
In contrast to these and other defects there were, however, certain
qualities which undoubtedly had a positive effect.
First of all, the monarchical form of government guarantees stability in
rection of public affairs and safeguards public offices from the
speculative turmoil of ambitious politicians.
Furthermore, the venerable tradition which this institution possesses,
arouses a feeling which gives it weight and authority.</p>
<p>Beyond this there is the fact that the whole corps of officials, and the
Army in particular, are raised above the level of political party obligations,
and still another positive feature was that the supreme rulership of the State
odied in the monarch, as an individual person, who could serve as the
symbol of responsibility which a monarch has to bear more seriously than any
anonymous parliamentary majority. Indeed, the proverbial honesty and integrity
of the German administration must be attributed chiefly to this fact. Finally, the
monarchy fulfilled a high cultural function among the German people, which
made amends for many of its defects.
The German residential cities have remained, given in our time, centres
of that artistic spirit whiM
ch now threatens to disappear and is becoming more
and more materialistic.
The German princes gave a great deal of excellent and practical
encouragement to art and science, especially during the nineteenth century. Our
present age certainly has nothing of equal worth.
During that process of disintegration which was slowly extending
throughout the social order, the most positive factor was the Army. This was
the strongest source of education which the German people possessed.
For that reason all the hatred of our enM
emies was directed against this
defender of our national self-preservation and our liberty. The strongest
testimony in favour of this unique institution is the fact that it was derided,
hated and fought against, but also feared, by worthless elements all round.
The fact that the international profiteers who gathered at Versailles,
further to exploit and plunder the nations, directed their enmity specially
against the old German Army, proved once again that it deserved to be
regarded as the institution which protectM
ed the liberties of our people against
the forces of the International Stock Exchange.
If the Army had not been there to sound
the alarm and stand on guard,
the aims of the Versailles representatives would have been carried out much sooner.
There is only one word to express what the German people owes to this
It was the Army that still kept a sense of responsibility alive among the
people when this quality had become very rare and when the, habit of shirking
every kind of responsibility was steM
adily spreading.</p>
<p>This habit had grown up under the evil influences of parliament, which
was itself the very model of irresponsibility.
The Army trained the people to personal courage at a time when the
virtue of timidity threatened to become an epidemic and when the spirit of
s personal interests for the good of the community was
considered as something that amounted almost to weak-mindedness.
At a time when only those were estimated as intelligent who M
to safeguard and promote their own egotistic interests, the Army was the
school through which individual Germans were taught not to seek the salvation
of their nation in the false ideology of international fraternisation between
Negroes, Germans, Chinese, French and English, etc., but in the strength and
unity of their own national being.
The Army developed the individual
s powers of resolute decision, and
this at a time when a spirit of indecision and scepticism governed human
conduct. At a time when thM
e wiseacres were everywhere setting the fashion, it
needed courage to uphold the principle that any command is better than none.
This one principle represents a robust and sound style of thought, of
which not a trace would have been left in the other branches of life if the Army
had not furnished a constant source of this fundamental strength.
A sufficient proof of this may be found in the appalling lack of decision
which our present government authorities display. They cannot shake off their
mental and moral lethaM
rgy and decide on some definite line of action, except
when they are forced to sign some new dictate for the exploitation of the
In that case they decline all responsibility, while at the same time they
sign everything which the other side places before them, and they sign with the
readiness of an official stenographer.
Their conduct is here explicable, on the ground, that, in this case, they
are not under the necessity of coming to a decision, for the decision is dictated
s members with a spirit of idealism and developed
their readiness to sacrifice themselves for their country and its honour, while
greed and materialism dominated in all the other branches of life.</p>
<p>The Army united a people which was split up into classes, and in this
respect had only one defect, which was the one-year term of voluntary military
service, a privilege granted to those who had passed through the higher grade schools.
It was a defect, because the principle of M
absolute equality was thereby
violated, and those who had a better education were thus placed outside the
cadres to which the rest of their comrades belonged. The reverse would have
Since our upper classes were really ignorant of what was going on in the
body corporate of the nation and were becoming more and more estranged
from the life of the people, the Army would have accomplished a very
beneficial mission if it had refused to discriminate in favour of the so-called
intellectuals, especially withinM
It was a mistake that this was not done, but can we in this world of ours
find any institution that has nit at least one defect? And in the Army, the good
features were so absolutely predominant that the few defects it had, were far
below the average that generally arises from human weakness.
The greatest merit of the Army of the old Reich was that, at a time when
the person of the individual counted for nothing and the majority was
everything, it placed individual personal values above majority valM
By insisting on its faith in personality, the Army opposed that typically
Jewish and democratic apotheosis of the power of numbers.
The Army trained what at that time was most sorely needed, namely, real
men. During a period when men were falling prey to effeminacy and laxity,
three hundred and fifty thousand vigorously trained young men went forth from
the ranks of the Army each year.
In the course of their two years training they had lost the softness of their
young days and had developed bodies as tough as M
steel. The young man who
had been taught obedience for two years was now fitted to command. The
trained soldier could be recognised even by his walk.
This was the great school of the German nation, and it was not without
reason that it drew upon its head all the bitter hatred of those who wanted the
Reich to be weak and defenceless, because they were jealous of its greatness
and were themselves possessed by a spirit of rapacity and greed.</p>
<p>The rest of the world recognisedM
a fact which many Germans did not
wish to see, either because they were blind to facts or because, out of malice,
they did not wish to see it.
This fact was that the German Army was the most powerful weapon for
the defence and freedom of the German nation and the best guarantee for the
livelihood of its citizens.
There was a third institution of positive worth, which has to be
considered apart from the monarchy and the Army. This was the unrivalled
civil service in the old Germany.
German administration was betterM
organised and better carried out than
the administration of other countries. There may have been objections to the
bureaucratic routine of the officials, but from this point of view, the state of
affairs was similar, if not worse, in the other countries.
The other States did not have the wonderful solidarity which this
organisation possessed in Germany, nor were their civil servants of that same
high level of scrupulous honesty.
It is certainly better to be a trifle over-bureaucratic, honest and loyal
ver-sophisticated, modem and of an inferior type of character and,
as often happens to-day, ignorant and inefficient.
If it be insinuated to-day that the German administration of the pre-war
period may have been excellent so far as bureaucratic technique went, but that
from the practical business point of view it was incompetent, I can only give
the following reply: What other country in the world possessed a betterorganised
and administered business enterprise than the German State Railways, for instance?
left to the Revolution to destroy this model organisation, until the
time was ripe for it to be taken out of the hands of the nation and
in the sense which the founders of the Republic had given to
that word, namely, making it subservient to the International Stock Exchange
capitalists, who were the wire-pullers of the German Revolution.
The most outstanding trait in the civil service and the whole body of the
civil administration was its independence of the vicissitudes of government,
ical mentality of which could exercise no influence on the attitude of
the German State officials.</p>
<p>Since the Revolution, this situation has been completely changed.
Efficiency and capability have been replaced by the test of party adherence;
and independence of character and initiative are no longer appreciated as
positive qualities in a public official. They rather tell against him.
The wonderful might and power of the old Reich was based on the
monarchical form of goveM
rnment, the Army and the civil service, of these three
foundations rested that great strength which is now entirely lacking, namely, the
authority of the State, for the authority of the State cannot be based on the
babbling that goes on in parliament or in the provincial diets, upon laws made
to protect the State, or upon sentences passed by the law courts to frighten
those who have had the hardihood to deny the authority of the State, but only on
the general confidence which the management and administration of thM
community establishes among the people.
This confidence is, in its turn, nothing else than the result of an
unshakable inner conviction that the government and administration of a
country is inspired by disinterested and honest goodwill and of the feeling that
the Spirit of the law is in complete harmony with the moral convictions of the people.
In the long run, systems of government are not maintained by terrorism
but by the belief of the people in the merits and sincerity of those who are there
d promote public interests.
Though it is true that in the period preceding the war certain grave evils
tended to infect and corrode the inner strength of the nation, it must be
remembered that the other States suffered even more than Germany from these
drawbacks, and yet those other States did not fail and break down when the
time of crisis came.
If we remember further that those defects in pre-war Germany were
outweighed by great positive qualities, we shall have to look elsewhere for the
real cause of the collapsM
e, and it did lie elsewhere.</p>
<p>The ultimate and most profound reason of the German downfall is to be
found in the fact that the racial problem was ignored and that its importance in
the historical development of nations was not grasped, for the events that take
place in the life of nations are not due to chance but are the natural results of
the effort to conserve and multiply, the species and the race, even though men
may not be able consciously to picture in their minds M
the profound motives of their conduct.</p>
<h1 id="chapter-xi-nation-and-race">CHAPTER XI: NATION AND RACE</h1>
<p>There are certain truths which are so obvious that the general run of
people disregard them. People are so blind to some of the simplest facts in
everyday life that they are highly surprised when somebody calls attention to
what everybody ought to know.M
Examples of the Columbus egg are around us in hundreds of thousands,
but Columbuses are rare.
Walking about in the garden of Nature, most men have the self-conceit to
think that they know everything, yet almost all are blind to one of the
outstanding principles that Nature employs in her work.
This principle may be called the inner isolation which characterises
each and every living species on this earth.
Even a superficial glance is sufficient to show that all the innumerable
forms in which the life-urge of NaturM
e manifests itself are subject to a
one may call it an iron law of Nature
various species to keep within the definite limits of their own life-forms when
propagating and multiplying their kind.
Each animal mates only with one of its own species. The titmouse
cohabits only with the titmouse, the finch with the finch, the stork with the
stork, the field-mouse with the field-mouse, the house-mouse with the house-mouse, the wolf with the she-wolf, etc.
Deviations from this law takeM
place only in exceptional circumstances.
This happens especially under the compulsion of captivity, or when some other
obstacle makes procreative intercourse impossible between individuals of the
Nature abhors such irregular intercourse with all her might and her
protest is most clearly demonstrated by the fact that the hybrid is either sterile,
or the fecundity of its descendants is limited.
In most cases hybrids and their progeny are denied the ordinary powers
of resistance to disease or the naturaM
l means of defence against attack.
Such a dispensation of Nature is quite logical. Every crossing of two</p>
<p>breeds which are not, of equal standing results in a product which holds an
intermediate place between the levels of the two parents.
This means that the offspring will indeed be superior to that parent
which belongs to a biologically lower order of beings, but not so high as the
For this reason, it must eventually succumb in any struggle against the
higher species. Such mating contradicts the will of Nature towards the
selective improvement of life in general.
The favourable preliminary to this improvement is not to mate
individuals of higher and lower orders of being, but rather to allow the
complete triumph of the higher order.
The stronger must dominate and not mate with the weaker, which would
signify the sacrifice of its own higher nature.
Only the born weakling can look upon this principle as cruel, and if he
does so, it is merely because he is of a feebM
ler nature and narrower mind, for if
such a law did not direct the process of evolution then the higher development
of organic life would not be conceivable at all.
This urge for the maintenance of the unmixed breed which is a
phenomenon that prevails throughout the whole of the natural world, results not
only in the sharply defined outward distinction between one species and
another, but also in the internal similarity of characteristic qualities which are
peculiar to each breed or species.
The fox remains always M
a fox, the goose remains a goose, and the tiger
will retain the character of a tiger. The only difference that can exist within the
species is in the various degrees of structural strength and active power, in the
intelligence, efficiency, endurance, etc., with which the individual specimens
It would be impossible to find a fox which has a kindly and protective
disposition towards geese, just as no cat exists which has a friendly
disposition towards mice.
That is why the struggle between the various spM
ecies does not arise from
a feeling of mutual antipathy, but rather from hunger and love.</p>
<p>In both cases Nature looks on calmly and is even pleased with what
happens. The struggle for daily livelihood leaves behind in the ruck everything
that is weak, diseased or wavering; while the fight of the male to possess the
female gives to the strongest the right, or at least the possibility, to propagate
This struggle is a means of furthering the health and powers of reM
of the species, thus it is one of the causes underlying the process of
development towards a higher grade of being. If this were otherwise the
progressive process would cease, and even retrogression might set in.
Since the inferior always outnumber the superior, the former would
always increase more rapidly if they possessed the same capacity for survival
and for the procreation of their kind, and the final consequence would be that
the best in quality would be forced to recede into the background.
re, a corrective measure must intervene in favour of the better
quality. Nature supplies this by establishing rigorous conditions of life, to
which the weaker will have to submit and will thereby be numerically
restricted, but even that portion which survives cannot multiply
indiscriminately, for here a new and rigorous selection takes place, according
to strength and health.
If Nature does not wish that weaker individuals should mate with
stronger, she wishes even less that a superior race should intermingle with M
inferior one, because in such a case all her efforts, throughout hundreds of
thousands of years, to establish an evolutionary higher stage of being, may be
History furnishes us with innumerable instances that prove this law.
It shows, with startling clarity, that whenever Aryans have mingled their
blood with that of an inferior race, the result has been the downfall of the
people who were the champions of a higher culture.
In North America, where the population is prevalently Teutonic, and
those elements intermingled with the inferior race only to a very small
degree, we have a quality of mankind and a civilisation which are different
from those of Central and South America.
In these latter countries the immigrants
who belonged mainly to the
mated with the aborigines, sometimes to a very large extent indeed.</p>
<p>In this case, we have a clear and decisive example of the effect produced
by the mixture of races.
In North America the Teutonic elemM
ent, which has kept its racial stock
pure and did not mix it with any other racial stock, has come to dominate the
American Continent and will remain master of it as long as that element does
not fall a victim to the habit of adulterating its blood.
In short, the results of miscegenation are always the following:</p>
<p>(a) The level of the superior race becomes lowered.</p>
<p>(b) Physical and mental degeneration sets in, thus leading slowly but
steadily towards a progressive drying up of the vital sap.</p>
act which brings about such a development is a sin against the will
of the Eternal Creator, and as a sin this act will be avenged.

Yet their only weapon is a mere idea, and a very preposterous idea into
the bargain, because if one accepted it, then it would be impossible to form a
conception of the world.
The real truth is, that not only has man failed to overcome Nature in any
sphere whatsoever, but that at best he has merely succeeded in getting hold of
iny corner of the enormous veil which she has spread over her
eternal mysteries and secrets.</p>
<p>He never invents anything; all he can do is to discover something. He
does not master Nature, but has only come to be master of those living beings
who have not gained the knowledge he has arrived at by penetrating into some

as our own. Whether of the effect that outer circumstM

visionaries believed) and that was all that was required.
The pacifist-humanitarian idea may indeed become an excellent one
when the most superior type of manhood will have succeeded in subjugating
the world to such an extent that thM

idea could have an injurious effect only in the measure in which its application
became difficult and finally impossible.
So, first of all, the fight, and then pacifism. If it were otherwise, it would
mean that mankind has already passed the zenith of its development, and
accordingly, the end would not be the supremacy of some moral ideal, but
degeneration into barbarism and consequent chaos.

It would be futile to attempt to discuss the question as to what race or
races were the original champions of human culture and were thereby the real
founders of all that we understand by the word
It is much simpler to deal with this question in so far as it relates to the
t time. Here the answer is simple and clear.
Every manifestation of human culture, every product of art, science and
technical skill, which we see before our eyes to-day, is almost, exclusively the
product of the Aryan creative power. All that we admire in the world to-day,
its science and its art, its technical developments and discoveries, are the
products of the creative activities of a few peoples, and it may be true that
their first beginnings must be attributed to one race.
The existence of civilisation is whM
olly dependent on such peoples.
Should they perish, all that makes this earth beautiful will descend with them
However great, for example, be the influence which the soil exerts on
men, this influence will always vary according to the race on which it
produces its effect. Dearth of soil may stimulate one race to the most strenuous
efforts and highest achievements; while, for another race, the poverty of the
soil may be the cause of misery, and finally of undernourishment, with all its consequence.
his very fact fully justifies the conclusion that it was the Aryan alone
who founded a superior type of humanity; therefore he represents the archetype
of what, we understand by the term: MAN.
He is the Prometheus of mankind, from whose shining brow the divine
spark of genius has at all times flashed forth, always kindling anew that fire
which, in the form of knowledge, illuminated the dark night by drawing aside
the veil of mystery and thus showing man how to rise and become master over
all the other beings on theM
<p>Should he be forced to disappear, a profound darkness will descend on
the earth; within a few thousand years human culture will vanish and the world
will become a desert.
If we divide mankind into three categories
founders of culture,
champions of culture, and destroyers of culture
the Aryan alone can be
considered as representing the first category.
It was he who laid the groundwork and erected the walls of every great
structure in human culture. Only the shM
ape and colour of such structures are to
be attributed to the individual characteristics of the various nations.
It is the Aryan who has furnished the great building-stones and plans for
the edifices of all human progress; only the way in which these plans have
been executed is to be attributed to the traits of each individual race.
Within a few decades the whole of Eastern Asia, for instance,
appropriated a culture and called this culture its own, whereas the basis of that
culture was the Greek mind and Teutonic tM
echnical skill as we know it.
Only the external form
at least to a certain degree
an Asiatic inspiration.
It is not true, as some believe, that Japan adds European technology to a
culture of her own. The truth rather is that European science and technology are
just decked out with the peculiar characteristics of Japanese civilisation. The
foundations of actual life in Japan to-day are not those of the native Japanese
culture, although this characterises the external features of the country, M
features strike the eye of European observers on account of their fundamental
difference from our own; but the real foundations of contemporary Japanese
life are the enormous scientific and technical achievements of Europe and
America, that is to say, of Aryan peoples.
Only by adopting these achievements as the foundations of their own
progress can the various nations of the Orient take a place in contemporary

They provide the necessary arms and instruments for this struggle, and
only the outer forms of these instruments have become gradually adapted to
Japanese ways of life.</p>
<p>If, from to-day onwards, the Aryan influence on Japan were to cease, and
if we suppose that Europe and America were to collapse, then the present
progress of Japan in science and technique might still last for a short duration;
in a few decades the inspiration would dry up, and native Japanese
character would triumph, while the present civilisation would become
fossilised and fall back into the sleep from which it was aroused about seventy
years ago, by the impact of Aryan culture.
We may, therefore, draw the conclusion that, just as the present Japanese
development has been due to Aryan influence, so in the immemorial past an
outside influence and an outside culture brought into existence the Japanese
culture of that day.
very strongly supported by the fact that the ancient
civilisation of Japan actually became fossilised and petrified.
Such a process can take place only if a people loses the racial cell
which had originally been creative, or if the outside influence should be
withdrawn after having awakened and maintained the first cultural
developments in that region.
If it be shown that a people owes the fundamental elements of its culture
to foreign races, assimilating and elaborating such elements, and if
subsequently that culM
ture becomes fossilised whenever the external influence
ceases, then such a race may be called the champion, but never the creator, of a culture.
If we subject the different peoples to a strict test from this standpoint, we
shall find that scarcely any one of them has originally created a culture, but
almost all have been merely the recipients of a culture created elsewhere.
This development may be depicted as always happening somewhat in the
following way. Aryan tribes, often almost ridiculously small in number,
ubjugated foreign peoples and, stimulated by the conditions of life which their
new country offered them (fertility, the nature of the climate, etc.), and profiting
also by the abundance of manual labour furnished them by the inferior race,
they developed intellectual and organising faculties which had hitherto been
dormant in themselves.</p>
<p>Within the course of a few thousand years, or even centuries, they gave
life to cultures whose characteristics completely correspondedM
of the founders, though modified by adaptation to the peculiarities of the soil
and the characteristics of the subjugated people.
But finally the conquering race offended against the principles which
they had first observed, namely, the preservation of their racial stock unmixed,
and began to intermingle with the subjugated people.
Thus they put an end to their own separate existence, for the original sin
committed in Paradise has always been followed by the expulsion of the guilty parties.
a thousand years or more the last visible traces of those former
masters may then be found in a lighter tint of the skin which the Aryan blood
had bequeathed to the subjugated race, and in a fossilised culture of which
those Aryans had been the original creators; for, just as the blood of the
conqueror, who was a conqueror not only in body but also in spirit, became
submerged in the blood of the subject race, so the substance disappeared from
which the torch of human culture and progress was kindled.
he blood of the former ruling race has left a light nuance of
colour in the blood of its descendants, as a token and a memory, the night of
cultural life is rendered less dim and dark by a mild light radiated from the
products of those who were the bearers of the original fire.
Their radiance shines across the barbarism to which the subjected race
has reverted and might often lead the superficial observer to believe that he
sees before him an image of the present race, when he is really looking into a
in only the past is reflected.
It may happen that in the course of their history such a people will come
into contact a second time, and even oftener, with the original founders of their
culture and may not even remember that distant association.
Instinctively, the remnants of blood, left from that old ruling race will be
drawn towards this new phenomenon, and what had formerly been possible
only under compulsion, can now be successfully achieved in a voluntary way.
A new cultural wave flows in and lasts until the M
brought it becomes once again adulterated by intermixture with the originally
<p>It will be the task of those who set themselves to write a universal
history of civilisation, to investigate history from this point of view instead of
allowing themselves to be smothered under the mass of external data, as is
only too often the case with our present historical science.
This short sketch of the changes that take place among those races that
e only the depositories of a culture, also furnishes a picture of the
development, the activity and the disappearance of those who are the true
founders of culture on this earth, namely the Aryans themselves.
Just as in our daily life the so-called man of genius needs a particular
occasion, and sometimes needs a special stimulus to bring his genius to light,
so too, in the life of the peoples the race that has genius in it needs the occasion
and stimulus to give that genius expression.
In the monotony and routine oM
f everyday life even persons of significance
seem just like the others and do not rise beyond the average level of their
fellow-men, but as soon as such men find themselves in a special situation
which disconcerts and unbalances the others, the humble person of apparently
common qualities reveals traits of genius often to the amazement of those who
have hitherto known him in the petty round of everyday life.
That is the reason why a prophet is seldom honoured in his own country.

observing this phenomenon. In times
of distress, when the others despair, apparently harmless, boys suddenly spring
up and become heroes, full of determination, undaunted in the presence of
Death and manifesting wonderful powers of calm reflection in such circumstances.
If such an hour of trial did not come, nobody would have thought that the
soul of a hero lurked in the body of that beardless youth. A special impulse is,
almost always necessary to bring a man of genius into the foreground.
The sledge-hammer of FaM
te, which strikes down the one so easily,
suddenly finds the counter-impact of steel when it strikes at the other, and, after
the common shell of everyday life is broken, the core that lay hidden is
displayed to the eyes of an astonished world.
This surrounding world then grows perverse and will not believe that
what had seemed so like itself is really of that different quality so suddenly displayed.</p>
<p>This is a process which is repeated probably every time a man of
nding significance appears.
Though an inventor, for example, does not establish his fame until the
very day on which he completes his invention, it would be a mistake to believe
that the creative genius did not become alive in him until that moment.
From the very hour of his birth the spark of genius is alive within the
man who has been endowed with the real creative faculty.
True genius is an innate quality. It can never be the result of education or
training. As I have stated already, this holds good not merely oM
but also of the race.
Those peoples who manifest creative ability in certain periods of their
history have always been fundamentally creative. It belongs to their very
nature, even though this fact may escape the eyes of the superficial observer.
Here also, recognition from outside is only the consequence of practical
Since the rest of the world is incapable of recognising genius as such, it
can only see the visible manifestations of genius in the form of inventions,
dings, painting, etc., but even here a long time passes before
recognition is given.
Just as the individual person who has been endowed with the gift of
genius, or at least talent of a very high order, cannot develop that gift to the
full, until he comes under the urge of special circumstances, so in the life of the
nations their creative capacities and powers frequently have to wait until
certain conditions stimulate them to action.
The most obvious example of this truth is furnished by that race which
nd still is, the champion of human progress; I mMean the Aryan race.
As soon as Fate brings them face to face with special circumstances their
powers begin to develop progressively and to be manifested in tangible form.
The characteristic cultures which they create in such circumstances are
almost always conditioned by the soil, the climate and the people they subjugate.</p>
that of the character of the people
is the most decisive
one. The more primitive M
the technical condition under which the civilizing
process takes place, the more necessary the existence of manual labour which
can be organised and employed so as to take the place of mechanical power.
Had it not been possible for them to employ members of the inferior race
which they conquered, the Aryans would never have been in a position to take
the first steps on the road which led them to their culture of a later era; just as,
without the help of certain suitable animals, which they were able to tame, they
ould never have come to the invention of mechanical power, which has
subsequently enabled them to do without these animals.
The remark that the Moor, having lone his duty, could now go, can,
unfortunately, be applied more or less universally.
For thousands of years the horse has been the faithful servant of man and
has helped him to lay the foundations of human progress; but now, motor power
has rendered the horse superfluous.
time the use of the horse will cease entirely; and yet
aboration man could scarcely have reached the stage of
development at which he now is.
For the establishment of superior types of civilisation the members of
inferior races formed one of the most essential prerequisites. They alone could
supply the lack of mechanical means, without which no progress is possible.
It is certain that the first stages of human civilisation were not based so
much on the use of tame animals as on the employment of human beings who
were members of an inferior race.
Only after subjugated rM
aces were employed as slaves was a similar fate
allotted to animals, and not vice versa, as some people would have us believe.
At first it was the conquered enemy who had to draw the plough and only
afterwards did the ox and horse take his place. Nobody but puling pacifists can
consider this fact a sign of human degradation.
Such people fail to recognise that this evolution had to take place in
order that man might reach that degree of civilisation which these apostles now
exploit in an attempt to make the world paM
y attention to their rigmarole.</p>
<p>The progress of mankind may be compared to the process of ascending
an infinite ladder. One does not reach the higher level without first having
climbed the lower rungs.
The Aryan, therefore, had to take that road which his sense of reality
pointed out to him, and not that of which the modern pacifist dreams.
The path of reality is, however, difficult and hard to tread; yet it is the
only one which finally leads to the goal where the otherM
s envisage mankind in
The real truth is that those dreamers help to lead man away from his goal
rather than towards it.
It was not by mere chance that the first forms of civilisation arose where
the Aryan came into contact with inferior races, subjugated them and forced
them to obey his command.
The members of the inferior race became the first mechanical tools in the
service of a growing civilisation. Thereby the way was clearly indicated
which the Aryan had to follow.
As a conqueror, he subjugated iM
nferior races and turned their physical
powers into organised channels under his own leadership, forcing them to
follow his will and purpose.
By imposing on them a useful, though hard, manner of employing their
powers, he not only spared the lives of those whom he had conquered, but
probably made their lives easier than they had been in the former state of so-called
While he ruthlessly maintained his, position as their master, he not only
remained master, but he also preserved and advanced civilisatiM
depended exclusively on his inborn abilities and, therefore, on the preservation
of the Aryan race as such.
As soon, however, as his subjects began to rise and approach the level
of their conqueror, a phase of which ascension was probably the use of his
language, the barriers that had distinguished master from servant broke down.
The Aryan neglected to maintain his own racial stock unmixed and
thereby lost the right to live in the paradise which he himself had created.</p>
<p>He became submerged in the racial mixture and gradually lost his cultural
creativeness, until he finally grew, not only mentally but also physically, more
like the aborigines whom he had subjected, rather than his own ancestors.
For some time he could continue to live on the capital of that culture
which still remained; but a condition of fossilisation soon set in and he sank
That is how cultures and empires decline and yield their places to new structures.
The adulteration of the blood aM
nd racial deterioration conditioned
thereby are the only causes that account for the decline of ancient civilisations,
for it is never by war that nations are ruined, but by the loss of their powers of
resistance, which are exclusively a characteristic of pure racial blood.
In this world everything that is not of sound racial stock is like chaff.
Every historical event in the world is nothing more nor less than a
manifestation of the instinct of racial self-preservation, whether for weal or woe.
The question as to M
the basic reasons for the predominant importance of
Aryanism can be answered by pointing out that it is not so much that the Aryans
are endowed with a stronger instinct for self-preservation, but rather that this
manifests itself in a way which is peculiar to themselves.
Considered from the subjective standpoint, the will to live is, of course,
equally strong all round and only the forms in which it is expressed are different.
Among the most primitive organisms the instinct for self-preservation
does not extend beyM
ond the care of the individual ego.
Egotism, as we call this passion, is so predominant that it includes even
the time element, which means that the present moment is deemed the most
important and that nothing is left to the future.
The animal lives only for itself, searching for food only when it feels
hunger, and fighting only for the preservation of its own life.
As long as the instinct for self-preservation manifests itself exclusively
in such a way, there is no basis for the establishment of a community, not eM
the most primitive form of all, that is to say, the family.</p>
<p>The community formed by the male with the female, where it goes
beyond the mere conditions of mating, calls for the extension of the instinct of
self-preservation, since the readiness to fight for one
extended also to the mate.
The male sometimes provides food for the female, but in most cases both
parents provide food for the offspring. Almost always they are ready to protect
d each other, so that here we find the first, though infinitely simple,
manifestation of the spirit of sacrifice.
As soon as this spirit extends beyond the narrow limits of the family, we
have the conditions under which a larger community and finally even States
The lowest species of human beings give evidence of this quality only to
a very small degree, so that often they do not go beyond the foundation of the family.
With an increasing readiness to place their immediate personal interests
ckground, the capacity for organising more extensive communities develops.
The readiness to sacrifice one
s personal work and, if necessary, even
s life, for others shows its most highly developed form in the Aryan race.
The greatness of the Aryan is not based on his intellectual powers, but
rather on his willingness to devote all his faculties to the service of the community.
Here the instinct for self-preservation has reached its noblest form, for
the Aryan willingly subordinates his own ego to the commonM
necessity calls, he will even sacrifice his own life for the community.
The constructive powers of the Aryan and that peculiar ability he has for
the building up of a culture are not grounded in his intellectual gifts alone.
If that were so, he might only be destructive and could never have the
ability to organise; for the essence of organising activity consists in the
readiness of the individual to renounce his own personal opinions and interests
and to lay both at the service of the human group.</M
<p>By serving the common weal he receives his reward in return; he does
not, for example, work directly for himself but makes his productive work a
part of the activity of the group to which he belongs, not only for his own
benefit but for the general welfare.
The spirit underlying this attitude is expressed by the word, WORK
which to him does not at all signify a means of earning one
but rather a productive activity which cannot clash with the interestsM
Whenever human activity, is directed exclusively to the service of the
instinct for self-preservation, regardless of the general weal, it is called theft,
usury, robbery, burglary, and so on.
This mental attitude, which forces self-interest to recede into the
background in favour of the common weal, is the first prerequisite for any kind
of really human civilisation.
It is out of this spirit alone that great human achievements have sprung,
for which the original doers have scarcely ever received M
which turn out to be the source of abundant benefit for their descendants. It is
this spirit alone which can explain why it so often happens that people can
endure a harsh but honest existence which offers them no return for their toil
except a poor and modest livelihood, but such a livelihood helps to
consolidate the foundations on which the community exists.
Every worker, every peasant, every inventor, every government official,
etc., who works without ever achieving fortune or prosperity for M
representative of this sublime ideal, even though he may never become
conscious of the profound meaning of his own activity.
Everything that may be said of that kind of work which is the
fundamental condition for providing food and the basic means of human
progress is true even in a higher sense of work that is done for the protection of
man and his civilisation.
The renunciation of one
s own life for the sake of the community is the
crowning significance of the idea of all sacrifice. In this way onM
possible to protect what has been built up by man and to ensure that this will
not be destroyed by the hand of man or of Nature.
In the German language we have a word which admirably expresses the
significance underlying all work.</p>
llung (fulfilment of duty),
which means the service of the common weal before the consideration of one
The fundamental spirit out of which this kind of activity springs is the
By this we mean to signify the
willingness of the individual to, make sacrifices for the community and his fellow-men.
It is of the utmost importance to insist again and again, that idealism is
not merely a superfluous manifestation of sentiment, but rather something
which has been, is and always will be, a necessary pre-condition of human
civilisation; it is to this that the very conception
To this kind of mentality the Aryan owes his position in the M
the world is indebted to the Aryan mind for having developed the concept of
for it was out of this spirit alone that the creative force grew, which
in a unique way, combined robust muscular power with a first-class intellect,
and thus created the monuments of human civilisation.
Were it not for idealism, all the faculties of the intellect, even the most
brilliant, would be nothing but intellect itself, a mere external phenomenon
without inner value, and never a creative force.
idealism, however, is essentially the subordination of the
interests and life of the individual to the interests and life of the community,
and since this subordination in turn represents the prerequisite condition for
every form of organisation, this idealism accords in its innermost essence with
the final purpose of Nature.
This idealism alone makes men voluntarily acknowledge, that strength
and power are entitled to take the lead and makes them a constituent particle of
that order out of which the whole universeM
is shaped and formed.
Without being conscious of it, the purest idealism is always associated
with the most profound knowledge. How True this is and how little genuine
idealism has to do with fantastic self-dramatization will become clear the
moment we ask an unspoilt child, a healthy boy, for example, to give his

young life for the ideal of his peoplM
<p>Unconsciously, his instinct will submit to the knowledge that the
preservation of the species, even at the cost of the individual life, is a primal
necessity and he will protest against the fantasies of pacifist ranters, who are
in reality nothing better than cowardly, though camouflaged, egotists, who
contradict the laws of human development.
It is an essential aspect of human evolution that the individual should be
imbued with the spirit of sacrifice in favour of thM
e common weal that he:
should not be influenced by the morbid notions of those who pretend to know
better than Nature and who have the impudence to criticise her decrees.
It is just at those junctures when the idealistic attitude threatens to
disappear that we notice a weakening of this force which is a necessary
constituent in the founding and maintenance of the community and is therefore a
necessary condition of civilisation.
As soon as the spirit of egotism begins to prevail among a people, then
social order break, and man, by seeking his own personal
happiness, tumbles out of heaven and falls into hell.
Posterity will not remember those who pursued only their own
individual interests, but it will praise those heroes who renounced their own
The Jew offers the most striking contrast to the Aryan. There is probably
no other people in the world which has so developed the instinct of self-preservation as the so-called
The best proof of this statement is to be found in the simple M
race still exists. Where is another people to be found that in the course of the
last two thousand years has undergone so few changes in mental, outlook and
And yet what other people has played such a constant part in the great
revolutions? Even after having passed through the most gigantic catastrophes
that have overwhelmed mankind, the Jews remain the same as ever.
What an infinitely tenacious will to live, to preserve one
demonstrated by that fact!</M
<p>The intellectual faculties of the Jew have been trained throughout
thousands of years. To-day the Jew is looked upon as especially
in a certain sense, he has been so throughout the ages.
His intellectual powers, however, are not the result of an inner evolution
but have rather been shaped by the object lessons which he has received from others.
The human spirit cannot climb upwards without taking successive steps.
For every step upwards it needs the foundM
ation of what has been constructed
before, namely, the past, which, in the comprehensive sense here employed,
can have been laid only by a general civilisation.
All thinking originates only to a very small degree in personal
experience. The largest part is based on the accumulated experiences of the past.
The general level of civilisation provides the individual, who, in most
cases, is not consciously aware of the fact, with such an abundance of
preliminary knowledge, that with this equipment he can more easily takM
further steps on the road of progress.
The boy of to-day, for example, grows up among such an overwhelming
mass of technical achievement, which has accumulated during the last century,
that he takes for granted many things which, a hundred years ago, were still
mysteries even to the greatest minds of those times.
Yet these things that are now so much a matter of course are of enormous
importance to those who would understand the progress we have made in
certain spheres and would carry that progress a step fartherM
If a man of genius belonging to the twenties of the last century were to
rise from his grave to-day, he would find it more difficult to understand our
present age than the contemporary boy of fifteen years of age who may even
have only an average intelligence.
The man of genius, thus come back from the past, would need to provide
himself with an extraordinary, amount of preliminary information which our
contemporary youth receives automatically, so to speak, during the time it is
growing up among the products of M
our modern civilisation.
for reasons that I shall deal with immediately
had a civilisation of his own, he has always been furnished by others with a
basis for his intellectual work.</p>
<p>His intellect has always been developed by the use of those cultural
achievements which he has found ready to hand around him. The process has
never been the reverse.
Although among the Jews the instinct of self-preservation has not been
weaker, but much stronger than M
among other peoples, and although the
impression may easily be created that the intellectual powers of the Jew are at
least equal to those of other races, the Jews completely lack the most essential
prerequisite of a cultural people, namely, the idealistic spirit.
With the Jewish people the spirit of self-sacrifice does not extend
beyond the simple instinct of individual preservation.
In their case, the feeling of racial solidarity which they apparently
manifest, is nothing but a very primitive gregarious instinct,M
which may be found among other organisms in this world.
It is a remarkable fact that this herd instinct brings individuals together
for mutual protection, only as long as there is a common danger which makes
mutual assistance expedient or inevitable.
The same pack of wolves which, a moment ago, joined together in a
common attack on their victim will dissolve into individual wolves as soon as
their hunger has been satisfied.
This is also true of horses, which unite to defend themselves against any
ggressor, but separate the moment the danger is over.
It is much the same with the Jew. His spirit of sacrifice is only apparent.
It manifests itself only as long as the existence of the individual makes this a
matter of absolute necessity, but as soon as the common foe is conquered, the
danger which threatened the individual Jew overcome and the prey secured,
then the apparent harmony disappears and the original conditions obtain again.
Jews act in concord only when a common danger threatens them or a
attracts them. Where these two motives no longer exist, then the
most brutal egotism appears and these people, who had previously lived
together in unity, will turn into a swarm of rats that fight bitterly against each other.</p>
<p>If the Jews were the only people in the world, they would be wallowing
in filth and mire and would exploit one another and try to exterminate one
another in a bitter struggle, except in so far as their utter lack of the ideal of
sacrifice, which shoM
ws itself in their cowardly spirit, would prevent this
struggle from developing.
It would, therefore, be a complete mistake to interpret the mutual help,
which the Jews render one another when they have to fight or, to put it more
accurately, to exploit their fellow-beings, as the expression of a certain
idealistic spirit of sacrifice.
Here again, the Jew merely follows the call of his individual egotism.
That is why the Jewish State, which ought to be a vital organisation to serve
the purpose of preserving or incrM
easing the race, has absolutely no territorial
boundaries, for the territorial delimitation of a State always demands a certain
idealism of spirit on the part of the race which forms that State, and especially
a proper acceptance of the idea of work.
A State which is territorially delimited cannot be established or
maintained, unless the general attitude towards work is a positive one. If this
attitude is lacking, then the necessary basis of a civilisation is also lacking.
That is why the Jewish people, despite theM
intellectual powers with which they
are apparently endowed, have not a culture, certainly not a culture of their own.
The culture which the Jew enjoys to-day is the product of the work of
others and this product is debased in the hands of the Jew.
In order to form a correct judgment of the place which the Jew holds in
relation to the whole problem of human civilisation, we must bear in mind the
essential fact that there never has been any Jewish art, and consequently that
nothing of this kind exists to-day.
t realise that, especially in the two royal domains of art, namely,
architecture and music, the Jew has done no original creative work.
When the Jew comes to producing something in the field of art he merely
from something already in existence, or simply steals the intellectual
The Jew essentially lacks the qualities which are characteristic of those
creative races that are the founders of civilisation.</p>
<p>To what extent the Jew appropriates thM
e civilisation built up by others
or to speak more accurately, corrupts it,
is indicated by the fact that he
cultivates chiefly the art which calls for the smallest amount of original
invention, namely the dramatic arts, and even here, he is nothing better than a
kind of juggler or, perhaps more correctly, a kind of monkey imitator, for in this
domain also he lacks the creative
lan which is necessary for the production of
all really great work.
Even here, therefore, he is not a creative genius, but rather a M
imitator who, in spite of all his retouching and tricks, cannot disguise the fact
that there is no inner vitality in the shape he gives his products.
At this juncture, the Jewish press comes in and renders friendly
assistance by shouting hosannas over the head of even the most ordinary
bungler of a Jew, until the rest of the world is persuaded into thinking that the
object of so much praise must really be an artist, whereas in reality, he may be
nothing more than a low-class mimic.
The Jews have not theM
creative ability which is necessary for the
founding of a civilisation, for in them there is not, and never hits been, that
spirit of idealism which is an absolutely necessary element in the higher
development of mankind.
Therefore, the Jewish intellect will never be constructive, but always
destructive. At best, it may serve as a stimulus in rare cases, but only in the
limited meaning of the poet
The Power which always wills the bad,
and always works the good
se will und stets daM
s Gute schafft.</i>).
It is not through him, but in spite of him, that mankind makes progress.
Since the Jew has never had a State which was based on territorial
delimitations, and therefore never a civilisation of his own, the idea arose that
here we were dealing with a people who had to be considered as nomads.
That is a great and mischievous mistake. The true nomad does actually
possess a definite delimited territory where he lives. It is merely that he does
not cultivate it, as the settled farmer does, but thatM
he lives on the products of
his herds with which he wanders over his domain.
The natural reason for this mode of existence is to be found in the fact
that the soil is not fertile and that it does not give the steady produce which
makes a fixed abode possible.</p>
<p>Outside of this natural cause, however, there is a more profound cause,
namely, that no mechanical civilisation is at hand to make up for the natural
poverty of the region in question.
There are territories where tM
he Aryan can establish fixed settlements by
means of the technical skill which he has developed in the course of more than
a thousand years, even though these territories would otherwise have to be
abandoned, unless the Aryan were willing to wander about them in nomadic
fashion, but age-long tradition of settled residence have made the nomadic life
We ought to remember that during the first period of American
colonisation, numerous Aryans earned their daily livelihood as trappers,
frequently wandering about in large groups with their women and
children, their mode of existence very much resembling that of ordinary nomads.
The moment, however, that they grew more numerous and were able to
accumulate larger resources, they cleared the land and drove out the
aborigines, at the same time establishing settlements which rapidly increased
all over the country.
The Aryan himself was probably at first, a nomad and became a settler
in the course of the ages, but yet he was never of the Jewish kind.
he Jew is not a nomad, for the nomad has already a definite attitude
towards the concept of
and this attitude served as the basis of a later
cultural development when the necessary intellectual conditions existed.
There is a certain amount of idealism in the general attitude of the
nomad, even though it is rather primitive. His whole character may, therefore,
be foreign to Aryan feeling, but it will never be repulsive.
Not even the slightest trace of idealism exists, however, in the Jewish
e Jew has never been a nomad, but always a parasite, battening on
the substance of others.
If he occasionally abandoned regions where he had hitherto lived, he did
not do it voluntarily. He did it because, from time to time, he was driven out by
people who were tired of having their hospitality, abused by such guests.
Jewish self-expansion is a parasitic phenomenon, since the Jew is
<p>But this has nothing to do with
ic life as such, because the Jew does not ever think of leaving a territory
which he has once occupied. He sticks where he is with such tenacity that he
can hardly be driven out even by superior physical force.
He expands into new territories only when certain conditions for his
existence are provided therein; but even then
change his former abode. He is, and remains, a parasite, a sponger who, like a
pernicious bacillus, spreads over wider and wider areas according as some
le area attracts him.
The effect produced by his presence is also like that of the vampire, for
wherever he establishes himself the people who grant him hospitality are
bound to be bled to death sooner or later.
Thus the Jew has at all times lived in States that have belonged to other
rags, and within the organisation of those States, he has formed a State of his
own, which is, however, hidden behind the mask of a
religious community,
long as external circumstances do not make it advisable for this communiM
declare its true nature.
As soon as the Jew feels himself sufficiently established in his position
to be able to hold it without a disguise, he lifts the mask and suddenly appears
in the character which so many did not formerly believe or wish to see,
namely, that of the Jew.
The life which the Jew lives as a parasite thriving on the substance of
other nations and States has resulted in developing that specific character
which Schopenhauer once described when he spoke of the Jew as
The kind of existence which he leads, forces the Jew to the systematic
use of falsehood, just as naturally as the inhabitants of northern climates are
forced to wear warm clothes.
He can live among other nations and States only as long as he succeeds
in persuading them that the Jews are not a distinct people, but the
representatives of a religious faith who thus constitute a
religious community,
though this is of a peculiar character.
As a matter of fact, however, this is the first of his great falsehoodM
is obliged to conceal his own particular character and mode of life, in order
that he may be allowed to continue his existence as a parasite among the nations.</p>
<p>The greater the intelligence of the individual Jew, the better will he
succeed in deceiving others. His success in this line may even go so far that the
people who grant him hospitality are led to believe that the Jew among them is
a genuine Frenchman, for instance, or Englishman or German or Italian, who
st happens to belong to a religious denomination which is different from that
prevailing in these countries.
Especially in circles concerned with the executive administration of the
State, where the officials generally have only a minimum of historical sense,
the Jew is able to impose his infamous deception with comparative ease. In
these circles, independent thinking is considered a sin against the sacred rules
according to which official promotion takes place.
It is, therefore, not surprising that even to-day in M
government offices, for example, there is not the slightest suspicion that the
Jews form a distinct nation in themselves and are not merely the adherents of a
though one glance at the press which belongs to the Jews ought to
furnish sufficient evidence to the contrary even for those who possess only the
smallest degree of intelligence.

authoritative in the eyes of these government potentates.
lways been a people of a definite racial character and
never merely the adherents of a religion.
At a very early date, urged on by the desire to make their way in the
world, they began to cast about for a means whereby they might distract such
attention as might prove inconvenient for them.
What could be more effective, and at the same time above suspicion,
than to borrow and utilise the idea of the religious community?
Here also everything is copied, or rather stolen, for the Jew could not
possess any religious inM
stitution which had developed out of his own
consciousness, seeing that he lacks every kind of idealism, which means that
belief in a life beyond this terrestrial existence is foreign to him.
In the Aryan mind no religion can ever be imagined unless it embodies
the conviction that life in some form of other will continue after death.</p>
<p>As a matter of fact, the Talmud is not a book that lays down principles
according to which the individual should prepare for the life to coM
furnishes rules for a practical and convenient life in this world.
The religious teaching of the Jews is principally a collection of
instructions for maintaining the Jewish blood pure and for regulating
intercourse between Jew and Jew and between Jews and the rest of the world,
that is to say non-Jews.
The Jewish religious teaching is not concerned with moral problems. It
is concerned rather with economic problems, and very petty ones at that.
In regard to the moral value of the religious teaching of thM
exist, and always have existed, exhaustive studies (not from the Jewish side,
for whatever the Jews have written on this question has naturally always been
of a tendentious character), which show up the kind of religion that the Jews
have in a light which makes it look very uncanny to the Aryan mind.
The Jew himself is the best example of the kind of product which this
religious training evolves. His life is of this world only and his mentality is as
foreign to the true spirit of Christianity, as his cM
haracter was foreign to the
great Founder of the new creed two thousand years ago.
The Founder of Christianity made no secret of His estimation of the
Jewish people; when He found it necessary, He drove those enemies of the
human race out of the Temple of God, because then, as always, they used
religion as a means of advancing their commercial interests.
At that time Christ was nailed to the Cross for his attitude towards the
Jews, whereas our modern Christians enter into party politics, and when
g held they debase themselves to beg for Jewish votes.
They even enter into political intrigues with the atheistic Jewish parties
against the interests of their own Christian nation.
On this first and fundamental lie, the purpose of which is to make people
believe that Jewry is not a people, but a religion, other lies are subsequently based.
One of these further lies concerns, for example, the language spoken by the Jew.</p>
<p>For him language is not an instrument for the exprM
thoughts, but rather a means of cloaking them.
When talking French his thoughts are Jewish, and when writing German
rhymes he only gives expression to the character of his own race.
As long as the Jew has not succeeded in mastering other peoples, he is
forced to speak their language whether he likes it or not, but the moment that
the world became the slave of the Jew, it would have to learn some universal
language (Esperanto, for example), so that by this means the Jew could
dominate it the moreM
How much the whole existence of this people is based on a permanent
falsehood is proved in a unique way by
The Protocols of the Elders of Zion,
which are so violently repudiated by the Jews.
With groans and moans, the <i>Frankfurter Zeitung</i> repeats again and again
that these are forgeries. This alone is evidence in favour of their authenticity.
What many Jews unconsciously wish to do is here clearly set forth. It is
not necessary to ask out of what Jewish brain these revelations sprang, but
is of vital interest is that they disclose, with an almost terrifying
precision, the mentality and methods of action characteristic of the Jewish

we shall indicate these stages by letters of the alphabet.</p>
<p>The first Jews came into what was then called Germanic during the
period of the Roman invasion, and, as usual, they came as merchants.
During the turmoil caused by the great migrations of the German tribes
the Jews seem to have disappeared. We may, therefore, consider the period
when the Germans formeM

that process whereby Central and Northern Europe were again, and this time
permanently, Judaised.

betrayed the racial difference between him and the people of the country in
which he dwelt, or because he knew too little of the language.
It may also be that people of other races refused to mix with him, so that
he could not very well adopt any other pose than that of a foreign merchant.

him, not as a producer, however, but only as a middleman.

negotiation as an intermediary, made him superior in this field to the Aryans,

unlimited, so that after a short time commerce seemed destined to become, a

In times of distress a wave of public anger has usually arisen against the
Jew; the masses have taken the law into their own hands; they have seized

their people was slowly but steadily undermined, not only by their continued
failure to guard the interests of their subjects, but by their positive exploitation
The Jew calculated exactly the time when the downfall of the princes
was approaching and did his best to hasten it. He intensified their financial
difficulties by hindering them in the exercise of their duty towards their people,
by encouraging them, through the most servile flattery, to indulge in vicious

His astuteness, or rather, his utter unscrupulousness in money affairs
enabled him to exact fresh payments from the princes subjects, to squeeze the
money out of them and then have it spent as quickly as possible.

as this plague was called, who tortured
the innocent victims until they were driven to despair, while at the same time
he provided the means which the princes squandered on their own pleasures.
It is not to be wonderM
ed at that these ornaments of the human race
became the recipients of official honours and were even admitted to the ranks
of the hereditary nobility, thus contributing not only to expose that social
institution to ridicule, but also to contaminate it from the inside.
Naturally, the Jew could now exploit the position which he had attained
and advance even more rapidly than before.
Finally, he only needed to be baptised in order to become entitled to all
the rights and privileges which belonged to the children of thM
This was an excellent stroke of business for him, and he often availed
himself of it, to the great joy of the Church, which was proud of having gained
a new child in the Faith, and also to the joy of Israel, which was happy at
seeing the trick pulled off successfully.</p>
<p>(h) At this stage a transformation began to take place in the world of
Jewry. Up to now they had been Jews, that is to say, they had not hitherto set
any great value on pretending to be something else, and anyhow, tM
characteristics which separated them from other races could not be easily
<p>Even as late as the time of Frederick the Great nobody looked upon the
Jews as other than a
people, and Goethe rose up in revolt against the
failure legally to prohibit marriage between Christians and Jews.
Goethe was certainly no reactionary and no timeserver; through him
there spoke the voice of the blood and the voice of reason.
Notwithstanding the disgraceM
ful happenings taking place in Court circles,
the people recognised instinctively that the Jew was the foreign body in their
own flesh and their attitude towards him was dictated by recognition of that
But a change was now destined to take place. In the course of more than
a thousand years the Jew had learned to master the language of his hosts so
thoroughly that he considered he might now lay less stress on his Jewish
character and emphasise his
Though it must have appeared ridiculous aM
nd absurd at first sight, he was
impudent enough to call himself a
which in this case, meant a
In that way began one of the most infamous impositions that can be
imagined. The Jew did not possess the slightest traces of the German character.
He had only acquired the art of twisting the German language to his own
uses, and that in a disgusting way, without having assimilated any other feature
of the German character. Therefore, his command of the language was the sole
ground on which he could pM
retend to be a German.
It is not, however, by the tie of language, but exclusively by the tie of
blood that the members of a race are bound together, and the Jew himself
knows this better than any other, seeing that he attaches so little importance to
the preservation of his own language while at the same time he strives his
utmost to keep his blood free from intermixture with that of other races.
A man may acquire and use a new language without much trouble, but it
is only his old ideas that he expresses through tM
he new language; his inner
nature is not modified thereby. The best proof of this is furnished by the Jew
himself. He may speak a thousand tongues and yet his Jewish nature will
always remain one and the same.</p>
<p>His distinguishing characteristics were the same when, as a grain
merchant, he spoke the Latin language at Ostia two thousand years ago, as they
are to-day when he tries to sell adulterated flour with the aid of his German
gibberish. He is always the same Jew.
so simple a fact is not recognised by the average head-clerk in a
German government department, or by an officer in the police force, is also
self-evident and obvious, since it would be difficult to find another class of
people who are so lacking in instinct and intelligence as the civil servants
employed by our modern German state authorities.
The reason why, at the stage I am dealing with, the Jew so suddenly
decided to transform himself into a German is not difficult to discover.
He felt the power of the princeM
s slowly crumbling and therefore looked
about to find a new social plank on which he might stand.
Furthermore, his financial domination in all the spheres of economic life
had become so great that he felt he could no longer sustain that enormous
structure, or extend his influence, unless he were admitted to the full enjoyment
rights of citizenship.
He aimed at both, preservation and expansion; for the higher he could
climb, the more alluring became the prospect of reaching the old goal, which
sed to him in ancient times, namely world domination to which he
now looked forward with feverish eyes, as he thought he saw it within his grasp.
Therefore, all his efforts were now directed to becoming a fully-fledged
citizen, endowed with all civil and political rights. That was the reason for his
emancipation from the ghetto.</p>
<p>(i) Thus the Court Jew slowly developed into the democratic Jew, but
naturally, he still remained associated with persons in higher quarters, and he
even attempted to push his way fuM
rther into the inner circles of the ruling set.
At the same time some other representatives of his race were currying
favour with the people.
If we remember the crimes the Jew had committed against the masses of
the people in the course of so many centuries, how repeatedly and ruthlessly he
had exploited them and how he had sucked the very marrow of their substance,
and when we further remember how they gradually came to hate him and
finally considered him as public scourge then we can well understand how
the Jew must have found this final transformation; indeed, it must have
taxed all his powers to be able to present himself as
the friend of humanity
the poor victims whom he had bled white.</p>
<p>Therefore, the Jew began by making public amends for the crimes which
he had committed against the people in the past.
He started his metamorphosis by first appearing as the
Since his new philanthropic policy had a very concrete aim in view, he
could not very well apply to himself the biblical counsel, not to allow his left
hand to know what his right hand was doing.
He felt obliged to let as many people as possible know how deeply the
sufferings of the masses grieved him and to what excesses of personal sacrifice
he was ready to-go in order to help them.
With this manifestation of innate modesty, so typical of the Jew, he
trumpeted his virtues to the world until finally the world actually began to
believe him. Those who refused to share this belief were M
doing him an injustice.
Thus, after a little while he began to twist things round, so as to make it
appear that it was he who had always been wronged, and not vice versa. There
were actually some particularly foolish people who could not help pitying this
poor unfortunate creature of a Jew.
Attention may be called to the fact that, in spite of his proclaimed
readiness to make personal sacrifices, the Jew never becomes poor thereby.
He has a happy knack of always making both ends meet.
his benevolence might be compared to the manure which
is not spread over the field merely out of kindness, but rather with a view to
Anyhow, after a comparatively short period of time, the world was given
to know that the Jew had become a general benefactor and philanthropist. What
a unique transformation!</p>
<p>What is looked upon as more or less natural when done by other people,
here became an object of astonishment, and even sometimes of admiration,
e it was considered so unusual in a Jew.
That is why he has received more credit for his acts of benevolence than
ordinary mortals. And something more! The Jew became liberal all of a
sudden and began to talk enthusiastically of how human progress must be encouraged.
Gradually he assumed the air of being the herald of a new age. Yet, at the
same time, he continued to undermine the groundwork of that economic system
which is of most benefit to the people.
He bought up stock in the various national undertakings and tM
his influence into the circle of national production, making this latter an object
of buying and selling on the Stock Exchange, or rather what might be called a
pawn in a financial game of chess, thus ruining the only basis on which
personal proprietorship is possible.
Only with the entrance of the Jew did that feeling of estrangement
between employers and employees begin which led at a later date to the
political class-struggle.
Finally, the Jew gained an increasing influence in all economic
s by means of his predominance on the Stock Exchange. He
secured, if not the ownership, at least the control of the working capacity of the nation.
In order to strengthen his political position, he directed his efforts
towards removing the barrier of racial and civic discrimination which had
hitherto hindered his advance at every turn.
With characteristic tenacity he championed the cause of religious
tolerance for this purpose, and in the Freemason organisation, which had fallen
completely into his hands, he found M
a magnificent weapon which helped him to
Government circles, as well as the higher sections of the political and
commercial bourgeoisie, fell prey to his plans through his manipulation of the
masonic net, though they themselves did not even suspect what was happening.
Only the people as such, or rather the masses which were just becoming
conscious of their own power and were beginning to use it in the fight for their
rights and liberties, had hitherto escaped the grip of the Jew.</p>
<p>At least, his influence had not yet penetrated to the deeper and wider
sections of the people, This was unsatisfactory to him.
The most important phase of his policy was therefore to secure control
The Jew realised that in his efforts to reach the position of public despot

Freemasons failed to catch the glove-manufacturerM
s and the linen-weavers in
the frail meshes of their net, and so it became necessary to find a grosser and
withal a more effective means.
Thus another weapon beside that of freemasonry had to be secured. This
was the press. The Jew exercised all his skill and tenacity in getting hold of it.
By means of the press he began gradually to control public life in its
entirety. He began to drive it along the road which he had chosen for the
purpose of reaching his own ends, for he was now in a position to create and
that force which, under the name of
is better known to-day than it was some decades ago.
Simultaneously, the Jew gave himself the air of thirsting after knowledge.
He lauded every phase of progress, particularly those phases which led to the
ruin of others, for he judges all progress and development from the standpoint
of the advantages which these bring to his own people. When it brings him no
such advantages, he is the deadly enemy of enlightenment and hates all culture
which is real cultureM
as such. All the knowledge which he acquires in the
schools of others is exploited by him exclusively in the service of his own race.
He now guarded his Jewish
more jealously than ever
before. Though bubbling over with talk of
etc., his first care was to preserve the racial integrity of his own people.
He occasionally bestowed one of his female offspring on an influential
Christian, but the racial stock of his male descendants waM
unmixed on principle. He poisoned the blood of others, but preserved his own
blood unadulterated.</p>
<p>The Jew scarcely ever married a Christian girl, but the Christian took a
Jewess to wife. The mongrels that were the issue of this latter union always
took after the Jewish side. Thus a part of the higher nobility in particular
became completely degenerate.
The Jew was well aware of this fact and systematically used this means
of disarming the intellectual M
leaders of the opposite race.
To mask his tactics and fool his victims, he talked of the equality of all
men, no matter what their race or colour, and the simpletons began to believe him.
Since his whole nature still retained too much that was alien for the
broad masses of the people to allow themselves to be caught in his snare, he
used the press to put before the public a picture of himself which was entirely
untrue to life, but well designed to serve his purpose.
In the comic papers special efforts were made to M
represent the Jews as
an inoffensive little race which, like all others, had its peculiarities.
The comic papers presented the Jews as fundamentally goodhearted and
honourable in spite of their manners, which might seem a bit strange. An
attempt was generally made to make them appear insignificant, rather than dangerous.
During this phase of his progress the chief goal of the Jew was the
victory of democracy, or rather the supreme hegemony of the parliamentary
system, which embodied his concept of democracy.
nstitution harmonised best with his purpose, for thus the personal
element was eliminated and in its place we had the dunder-headed majority,
inefficiency and, last but by no means least, cowardice.
The final result must necessarily have been the overthrow of the
monarchy, which had to come sooner or later.</p>
<p>(j) A tremendous economic development transformed the social structure
of the nation. As the small handicrafts gradually disappeared, the manual
worker was robbed of the chance of earning his bread indepeM
to the level of the proletariat.
In his stead came the factory worker, whose essential characteristic is</p>
<p>that he is seldom in a position to support himself independently in later life. In
the true sense of the word, he is
His old age is a misery to hint
and can hardly be called a life at all.
In earlier times a similar situation had been created, which had
imperatively demanded a solution and for which a solution was found.
ide with the peasant and the artisan, a new class had gradually
developed, namely, that of officials and employees, especially those employed
services of the State.
class, in the true sense of the word, but
the State found a remedy for this unhealthy situation by taking upon itself the
duty of providing for the State official who was not in a position to make
provision for his old age.
Thus the system of pensions and retiring allowances was introduced.
terprises slowly followed this example in increasing numbers, so
that to-day every permanent non-manual worker receives a pension in his later
years, if the firm which he has served is one that has reached or exceeded a
certain limit of size.
It was only by virtue of the assurance given to State officials, that they
would be cared for in their old age, that such a high degree of unselfish
devotion to duty was developed, which in pre-war times was one of the
distinguishing characteristics of German officials.
whole class which had no personal property was saved from
destitution by an intelligent system of provision, and found a place in the social
structure of the national community.
The problem has once again arisen for the State and the nation, but this
time it is more comprehensive. When the new industries sprang up and
developed, millions of people left the countryside and the villages to take up
employment in the big factories.
The conditions under which this new class found itself forced to live
iserable. The more or less mechanical transformation of the
methods of work hitherto in vogue among the artisans and peasants did not fit
in well with the habits or mentality of this new working-class.</p>
<p>The way in which the peasants and artisans had formerly worked had
nothing comparable to the intensive labour of the new factory-worker.
In the old trades, time did not play a highly important role, but it became
an essential element in the new industrial system.
l taking over of the old working hours by the mammoth
industrial enterprises had fatal results. The actual amount of work hitherto
accomplished within a certain time was comparatively small, because the
modern methods of intensive production were then unknown. Therefore,
although under the older system a working day of fourteen or even fifteen hours
was not unendurable, now it was beyond the limits of human endurance,
because under the new system every minute was utilised to the extreme.
This absurd transference ofM
the old working hours to the new industrial
system proved fatal in two directions.
Firstly, it ruined the health of the workers; secondly, it destroyed their
faith in a superior law of justice.
Finally, on the one hand, a miserable wage was received and, on the
other, the employer held a much more lucrative position than before.
In the open country there could be no social problem, because the master
and the farm-hand were doing the same kind of work and doing it together.
They ate their food in common, and sometiM
mes even out of the same dish.
But this, too, was altered. The division created between employer and
employee seems now to have extended to all branches of life.
How far this Judaising process has been allowed to take effect among
our people is illustrated by the fact that manual labour not only receives
practically no recognition, but is even considered degrading.
That is not a natural German attitude. It is due to the introduction of a
foreign element into our lives, and that foreign element is the Jewish spirit,M
of the effects of which has been to transform the high esteem in which our
handicrafts were once held into a certain contempt for all manual labour.
Thus a new social class has grown up which stands in low esteem, and
the day must come when we shall have to face the question of whether the
nation will be able to make this class an integral part of the social community,
or whether the difference of status now existing will become a permanent gulf
separating this class from the others.</p>
<p>One thing, however, is certain, namely, that this class does not include
the worst elements of the community in its ranks, on the contrary, it includes the
most energetic elements of the nation.
The sophistication which is the result of a so-called civilisation has not
yet exercised its disintegrating and degenerating influence on this class. The
broad masses of this new lower class, consisting of the manual labourers, have
not yet fallen prey to the morbid weakness of pacifism. They are still roM
and, if necessary, they can be brutal.
While our bourgeois middle class paid no attention at all to this
momentous problem and indifferently allowed events to take their course, the
Jew realised the manifold possibilities which the situation offered him for the future.
While, on the one hand, he organised capitalistic methods of exploitation
to the highest possible degree, he curried favour with the victims of his policy
and his power and in a short while became the leader of their struggle against himself.
is here only a figurative way of speaking; for this
great master of lies
knows how to appear in the guise of the innocent and
throw the guilt on others.
Since he had the impudence to take a personal lead among the masses,
they never for a moment suspected that they were falling a prey to one of the
most infamous deceptions ever practised.
Yet that is what it actually was. The moment this new class had arisen
out of the general economic situation and taken shape as, a definite body in the
ocial order, the Jew clearly saw where he would find the necessary pace-maker for his own progressive march.
At first he had used the bourgeois class as a battering-ram against the
feudal order, and now he used the worker against the bourgeois world.
Just as he succeeded in obtaining civic rights by intrigues carried on
under the protection of the bourgeois class, he now hoped that by joining in the
struggle which the workers were waging for their own existence, he would be
able to obtain the mastery he desired.</pM
<p>When that moment arrives, the only objective the workers will have to
fight for will be the future of the Jewish people.
Without knowing it, the worker is placing himself at the service of the
very power against which he believes he is fighting. Apparently he is being
made to fight against capital and thus he is all the more easily brought to fight
for capitalistic interests.
Outcries are systematically raised against international capital, but in
reality it is against theM
national economic structure that these slogans are
directed. The idea is to demolish this structure and on its ruins triumphantly
erect the structure of the International Stock Exchange.
The method of procedure of the Jew was as follows: He kowtowed to
the worker, hypocritically pretended to feel pity for him and his lot, and even
to be indignant at the misery and poverty which he had to endure.
That is the way in which the Jew endeavoured to gain the confidence of
the working class. He showed himself eager to stuM
dy their various hardships,
whether real or imaginary, and strove to awaken a yearning on the part of the
workers to change the conditions under which they lived.
The Jew artfully enkindled that innate yearning for social justice which
is a typical Aryan characteristic. Once that yearning became alive, it was
transformed into hatred against those in more fortunate circumstances of life.
The next stage was to give a precise ideological aspect to the struggle
for the elimination of social wrongs, and thus the MarxistM
invented. By presenting this doctrine as part and parcel of a just vindication of
social rights, the Jew propagated it all the more effectively, but at the same
time he provoked the opposition of decent people who refused to admit these
demands which, because of the form and pseudo-philosophical trimmings in
which they were presented, seemed fundamentally unjust and unrealisable, for,
under the cloak of purely social concepts there were hidden aims which were
of a Satanic character.
n openly expounded wish the clarity of unlimited
impudence. This Marxist doctrine is an indivisible mixture of human reason
and human absurdity, but the combination is arranged in such a way that only
the absurd part of it could ever be put into practice, never the reasonable part.
By categorically repudiating the personal worth of the individual and
also of the nation and its racial constitution, this doctrine destroys the
fundamental basis of all civilisation, for civilisation depends essentially on

workers under the leadM
ership of Jews. To all external appearances, this
movement strives to ameliorate the conditions under which the workers live,
but in reality its aim is to enslave and thereby annihilate the non-Jewish peoples.
The propaganda which the Freemasons had carried on among the so-called intelligentsia,
whereby their pacifist teaching paralysed the instinct for
national self-preservation, was now extended to the broad masses of the
workers and the bourgeoisie by means of the press, which was almost
everywhere in Jewish haM
To those two instruments of disintegration, a third and still more ruthless
one was added, namely, the organisation of brute force. Massed columns of
Marxist attackers were intended to complete the work of attrition which the
two weapons formerly employed had brought to the verge of fulfilment.
The combined activity of all these forces has been marvellously
managed, and it will not be surprising if it turns out that those institutions
which have always appeared as the organs of the more or less traditional
hority of the State should now fall before the Marxist attack.</p>
<p>With very few exceptions, the Jew has found the most complacent
promoters of his work of destruction among the higher, and even the highest,
government officials.

qualities are of the greatest utility to the Jew in his dealings with
our authorities and consequently he appreciates them.
If I were to sketch roughly the actual struggle which is now beginning I
should describe it somewhat thus:
Not satisfied with the economic conquest of the world, but demanding
that it must also come under his political control, the Jew subdivides the
organised Marxist power into two parts, which correspond to the ultimate
objectives that are to be fought for in this struggle which is carried M
To outward appearance, these seem to be two independent movements,
but in reality they constitute an indivisible unity.
The two divisions are the political movement and the trade-union movement.
The trade-union movement has to gather in the recruits. It offers
assistance and protection to the workers in the hard struggle which they have to
wage for the bare means of existence, a struggle which has been occasioned by
the greediness and narrow-mindedness of many of the industrialists.
he workers are ready to surrender all claims to an existence
which the mere dignity of human nature itself demands, and unless they are
ready to submit their fate to the will of employers who, in many cases, have no,
sense of human responsibility and are utterly callous to human wants, then the
worker must necessarily take matters into his own hands, seeing that the
organised social community
that is to say, the State
pays no attention to his needs.</p>
<p>The so-called natM
ional-minded bourgeoisie, blinded by its own material
interests, opposes this life-and-death struggle of the workers and places the
most difficult obstacles in their way.
Not only does this bourgeoisie hinder all efforts to bring in legislation
which would shorten the inhumanly long hours of work, prohibit child-labour,
grant security and protection to women and improve the hygienic conditions in
the workshops and the dwellings of the working class, but while it is engaged
in so doing, the shrewd Jew takes the causM
e of the oppressed into his own hands.
He gradually becomes the leader of the trade-union movement, which is
an easy task for him, because he does not genuinely intend to find remedies for
the social wrong; he pursues only one objective, namely, to gather and
consolidate a body of followers who will act under his command as an armed
weapon in the economic war for the destruction of national economic independence.
For, while a sound social policy has to aim at a double objective, that of
securing a decent standard oM
f public health and welfare on the one hand, and
that of safeguarding the independence of the economic life of the nation, on the
other, the Jew does not take these two aims into account at all.
The destruction of both is one of his main objects. He would ruin, rather
than safeguard, the independence of the national economic system.
Therefore, as the leader of the trade-union movement, he has no scruples
about putting forward demands which not only go beyond the declared purpose
of the movement, but could not be caM
rried into effect without ruining the
national economic structure.
On the other hand, he has no interest in seeing a healthy and sturdy
population develop; he would be more content to see the people degenerate
into an unthinking herd which could be reduced to total subjection.
Because these are his final objectives, he can afford to put forward the
He knows very well that these claims can never be realised and that,
therefore, nothing in the actual state of affairs can be altered by them, but thM
the most they can do is to arouse the spirit of unrest among the masses.</p>
<p>That is exactly the purpose which he wishes such propaganda to serve
and not a real and honest improvement of the social status of the worker.
The Jews will, therefore, remain the unquestioned leaders of the trade-union movement
as long as no far-reaching campaign is undertaken for the
enlightenment of the masses, in order that they may be better enabled to
understand the causes of their misery.M
The same end might be achieved if the government authorities were to
get rid of the Jew and his work, for as long as the masses remain as illinformed
as they actually are to-day, and as long as the State remains as
indifferent to their lot as it now is, the masses will follow whatever leaders
make them the most extravagant promises in regard to economic matters.
The Jew is a past-master in this art and his activities are not hampered
by moral considerations of any kind. Naturally, it takes him only a short time tM
defeat all his competitors in this field and drive them from the scene of action.
In accordance with the general brutality and rapacity of his nature, he turns the
trade-union movement into an organisation for the exercise of physical
violence. The resistance and antipathy of those whose insight has hitherto
saved them from swallowing the Jewish bait, have been broken down by terrorism.
The success of that kind of activity is enormous. Actually, the Jew is
using the trade-union, which could be a blessing to the nM
with which to destroy the foundations of the national economic structure.
Side by side with this, the political organisation advances. It operates
hand-in-hand with the trade-union movement, inasmuch as the latter prepares
the masses for the political organisation and even forces them into it.
This is also the source that provides the money which the political
organisation needs to keep its enormous apparatus in action.
The trade-union organisation is the organ of control for the political
ty of its members and whips in the masses for all great political demonstrations.
In the end, it ceases to struggle for economic interests, but places its
chief weapon, refusal to continue work (which takes the form of a general
strike) at the disposal of the political movement.</p>
<p>In a press, the reading matter of which is adapted to the level of the most
ignorant readers, the political and trade-union organisations are provided with
an instrument which prepares the lowestM
stratum of the nation for a campaign of
ruthless destruction.
It is not considered part of the purpose of this press to inspire its readers
with ideals which might help them to lift their minds above the sordid
conditions of their daily lives, but, on the contrary, it panders to their lowest instincts.
Among the lazy-minded and self-seeking sections of the masses this kind
of speculation turns out lucrative.
It is this press, above all, which carries on a fanatical campaign of
calumny, strives to tear down everythM
ing that might be considered mainstay of
national independence, cultural standing and economic self-sufficiency.
It aims its attacks especially against all men of character who refuse to
fall into line with the Jewish efforts to obtain control over the State, or who
appear dangerous to the Jews merely because of their superior intelligence.
In order to incur the enmity of the Jew it is not necessary to show any
open hostility towards him; it is sufficient if a man is considered capable of
opposing the Jew at some tM
ime in the future, or of using his abilities and
character to enhance the power and position of a nation which the Jew
considers hostile to himself.
s instinct, which never fails where these problems have to be
dealt with, readily discerns the true mentality of those whom he meets in
everyday life and those who are not of a kindred spirit may be sure of being
listed among his enemies.
Since the Jew is not the object of aggression, but himself the aggressor,
he considers as his enemies not only those who aM
ttack him, but also those who
may be capable of resisting him.
The means which he employs to break people of this kind who show
themselves decent and upright, is no honourable conflict, but falsehood and
calumny. He will stop at nothing. His utterly lowdown conduct is so appalling
that one really cannot be surprised if, in the imagination of our people, Satan,
as the incarnation of all evil, assumes the form and features of the Jew.</p>
<p>The ignorance of the broad masses as rM
egards the inner character of the
Jew, and the lack of instinct and insight displayed by our upper classes, are
among the reasons which explain how it is that so many people fall an easy
prey to the systematic campaign of falsehood which the Jew carries on.
While the upper classes, with their innate cowardliness, turn away from
anyone whom the Jew thus attacks with lies and calumny, the common people
are credulous of everything, whether because of their ignorance or their simple-mindedness.
Government authorities wM
rap themselves in a cloak of silence, but more
frequently they persecute the victims of Jewish attacks in order to stop the
campaign in the Jewish press.
To the fatuous mind of the government official, such a line of conduct
appears to be in line with the policy of upholding the authority of the State and
preserving public order.
Gradually, the Marxist weapon in the hands of the Jew becomes a
constant bogey to decent people and weighs upon them like a kind of
nightmare. People begin to quail before this fearful foeM
and thereby become his victims.</p>
<p>(k) The domination of the Jew in the State seems now so fully assured
that not only can he afford to call himself a Jew once again, but he even
acknowledges freely and openly his ideas on racial and political questions.
A section of the Jews avows itself quite openly as an alien people, but
even here there is another falsehood.
When the Zionists try to make the rest of the world believe that the new
national consciousness of the Jews will be satisfied by the establishment of M
Jewish State in Palestine, the Jews thereby adopt another means to dupe the
simple-minded Aryan.
They have not the slightest intention of building up a Jewish State in
Palestine so as to live in it. What they are really aiming at is to establish a
central organisation for their international swindling and cheating.
As a sovereign State, this cannot, be controlled by any of the other States.</p>
<p>Therefore, it can serve as a refuge for swindlers who have been found
at the same time, a high school for the training of other swindlers. As a
sign of their growing confidence and sense of security, a certain section of
them openly and impudently proclaims its Jewish nationality, while another
section hypocritically pretend to be German, French or English, as the case may be.
Their blatant behaviour in their relations with other people shows how
clearly they envisage their day of triumph in the near future.
The black-haired Jewish youth lies in wait for hours on end, Satanically
ring at and spying on the unsuspecting girl whom he plans to seduce,
adulterating her blood and removing her from the bosom of her own people.
The Jew uses every possible means to undermine the racial foundations
of a people to be subjugated.
In his systematic efforts to ruin girls and women, he strives to break
down the last barriers of racial discrimination.
The Jews were responsible for bringing Negroes into the Rhineland,
with the ultimate idea of bastardizing the white race which they hate, and thus
ts cultural and political level so that the Jew might dominate.
As long as a people remains racially pure and race-conscious, it can
never be overcome by the Jew. Never in this world can the Jew become master
of any people except a bastardised people.
That is why the Jew systematically endeavours to lower the racial
quality of a people by permanently adulterating the blood of the individuals
who make up that people.
In the field of politics he now begins to replace the idea of democracy by
that of the dictatorship M
In the masses organised under the Marxist banners he has found a
weapon which makes it possible for him to discard democracy, so as to
subjugate and rule the nations in a dictatorial fashion by the aid of brute force.
He works systematically in order to bring about this revolution by two
methods, the economic and the political.</p>
<p>Aided by international influences, he forms a ring of enemies around
those nations which have proved themselves too sturdy foM
withstanding attacks from within.
He tries to force them into war and then, if it should be necessary to his
plans, he will unfurl the banners of revolt even while the troops are actually
fighting at the front.
Economically, he brings about the destruction of the State by a systematic
method of sabotaging social enterprises until these become so costly that they
are taken out of the hands of the State and submitted to the control of Jewish
Politically, he works to withdraw from the State its meanM
subsistence, inasmuch as he undermines the foundations of national resistance
and defence, destroys the confidence which the people have in their
government, reviles the past and its history and drags everything really great
Culturally, his activity consists in poisoning art, literature and the
theatre, holding the expression of natural sentiment up to scorn, overturning all
concepts of the sublime and beautiful, the worthy and the good, finally dragging
the people down to the level of his ownM
Of religion he makes a mockery. Morality and decency are described as
antiquated prejudices and thus a systematic attack is made for the purpose of
undermining those last foundations on which the national being must rest if the
nation is to struggle for its existence in this world.</p>
<p>(l) Now begins the great and final revolution. As soon as the Jew is in
possession of political power he drops all pretence. Out of the democratic
Jew, the Jew of the people, arises the Jew lusting for blood, the tM
yrant of the peoples.
In the course of a few years he endeavours to exterminate all those who
represent the national intelligentsia, and by thus depriving the peoples of their
natural intellectual leaders, he orepares them for their fate as slaves under a
lasting despotism. Russia furnishes the most terrible example of such slavery.
In that country the Jew killed or starved thirty millions of the people in a
bout of savage fanaticism and resorted to the employment of inhuman torture.
He did this so that a gang of JM
ewish would-be literati and financial bandits
should dominate over a great people.</p>
<p>The final consequence is not merely that the people lose all their
freedom under the domination of the Jews, but that in the end, these parasites
themselves disappear. The death of the victim is followed sooner or later by
that of the vampire.
If we review all the causes which contributed to bring about the
downfall of the German people we shall find that the most profound acid
use lies in lack of insight into the racial problem and especially in
failure to recognise the Jewish menace. It would have been easy enough to
endure the defeats suffered on the battlefields in August 1918. They were
nothing as compares with the military victories which our nation had achieved.
Our downfall was not the result of those defeats; we were overthrown by
that force which had prepared those defeats by systematically operating for
several decades to destroy those political instincts and that moral staminaM
which alone enable a people to struggle for its existence and thereby secure the
By neglecting the problem of preserving the racial foundations of our
national life, the old Reich abrogated the sole right which entitles a people to
live on this planet.
Nations that make mongrels of their people or allow their people to be
turned into mongrels, sin against the Will of Eternal Providence, and thus their
overthrow at the hands of a stronger opponent cannot be looked upon as a
wrong but, on the contrarM
y, as a restoration of justice.
If a people refuses to guard and uphold the qualities with which it has
been endowed by Nature and which have their roots in the racial blood, then
such a people has no right to complain over the loss of its earthly existence.
Everything on this earth can be changed for the better.
Every defeat may be made the foundation of a future victory.
Every lost war may be the cause of a later resurgence.
Every form of distress can give, a new impetus to human energy, and
from oppression thoseM
forces can develop which bring about a re-birth of the
provided always that the racial blood is kept pure.
The loss of racial purity will wreck inner happiness for ever.</p>
<p>It degrades men for all time to come, and the physical and moral
consequences can never be wiped out.
If this unique problem be studied and compared with the other problems
of life we shall easily recognise how small is their importance in comparison
They are all limited in tiM
me, but the problem of the maintenance or loss
of the purity of the racial blood will last as long as man himself exists.
All the symptoms of decline which manifested themselves in pre-war
times can be traced back to the racial problem.
Whether one is dealing with questions of general law, of monstrous
wrongs in economic life, of phenomena which point to a cultural decline or
political degeneration whether it be a question of defects in the school-system
or of the evil influence which the press exerts over the adulM
every case there phenomena are caused by a lack of consideration for the
interests of the race to which one
s own nation belongs, or by failure to
recognise the danger that comes from allowing a foreign race to exist within
That is why all attempts at reform, all institutions for social relief, all
political striving, all economic progress and all apparent increase in the
general stock of knowledge, were doomed to be unproductive of any
significant results.
The nation, as well aM
s the organisation which enables it to exist, namely,
the State, were not developing in inner strength and stability but were, on the
contrary, visibly losing their vitality.
The false brilliance of the Second Reich could not disguise its inner
weakness, and every attempt to invigorate it anew failed, because the main and
most important problem was left out of consideration. It would be a mistake to
think that the followers of the various political parties which tried to doctor the
condition of the German people, oM
r even all their leaders, were bad in
themselves or meant wrong. Their activity was doomed to fail, merely
because, at best, they saw nothing but the symptoms of our general malady and
they tried to doctor the symptoms while they overlooked the real cause of the disease.</p>
<p>If one makes a methodical study of the lines along which the old Reich
developed, one cannot help seeing, after a careful political analysis, that a
process of inner degeneration had already set in, evenM
at the time when the
united Reich was established and the German nation was enjoying prosperity.
The general situation was declining, in spite of apparent political
success and in spite of increasing economic wealth. At the Reichstag elections
the growing number of Marxist votes indicated that the internal breakdown and
the political collapse were rapidly approaching.
All the victories of the so-called bourgeois parties were fruitless, not
only because they could not prevent the numerical increase is the growing mM
of Marxist votes, even when the bourgeois parties triumphed at the polls, but
mainly because they themselves were already infected with the germs of decay.
Though quite unaware of, it, the bourgeois world was infected from within
with the deadly virus of Marxist ideas. The fact that they sometimes openly
resisted was to be attributed to rivalry between ambitious political leaders,
rather than to any opposition on principle between adversaries who were
determined to fight one another to the bitter end.
l those years only one protagonist was fighting with steadfast
perseverance. This was the Jew. The Star of David steadily ascended, as the
will to national self-preservation declined.
Therefore, it was not a nation filled with the determination to attack,
which rushed to the battlefields in August 1914, but it was rather the
manifestation of the last flickering instinct of national self-preservation in the
face of the progress of the paralysis with which the pacifist and Marxist
doctrine threatened our people. EvenM
in those days when the fate of the nation
hung in the balance, the internal enemy was not recognised and therefore all
efforts to resist the external enemy were bound to be in vain.
Providence did not grant the reward to the victorious sword, but
followed the eternal law of retributive justice. A profound recognition of all
this was the source of those principles and tendencies which inspire our new
Movement. We were convinced that only by recognising such truths could we
stop the national decline in Germany and lM
ay a granite foundation on which the
State could again be built up, a State which would not be a piece of mechanism
alien to our people, constituted for economic needs and interests, but an
organism created from the soul of the people themselves.</p>

<blockquote><p>722</p></blockquote><h1 id="chapter-xiv-eastern-bias-or-eastern-policy">CHAPTER XIV: EASTERN BIAS OR EASTERN POLICY</h1><p>There are two considerations which induce me to make a special analysis of Germany
s attitude towards Russia. These are, that firstly, this may prove to be the most important problem which German foreign policy has to solve, and secondly; this problem is, at the same time, the touchstone which will test the political capacity of the young National Socialist Movement for clear tM
hinking and adopting the right course of action. I must confess that the second consideration has often been a source of great anxiety to me. The members of our Movement are not recruited from circles which are habitually indifferent to public affairs, but mostly from among men who hold more or less extreme views. Such being the case, it is only natural that their understanding of foreign politics should at first labour under the prejudices and inadequate knowledge of those circles to which they formerly belonged bM
y virtue of their political and ideological opinions. This is true not only of the men who come to us from the Left. On the contrary, however harmful may have been the kind of teaching they formerly received in regard to these problems, in very many cases this was, in part, at least, counterbalanced by the sound and natural instincts which they retained. In such cases it is only necessary to substitute a better teaching in place of the earlier influences, in order to transform the instinct of self-preservation and M
other sound instinct into valuable assets. On the other hand, it is much more difficult to train a man to see clearly in political matters, if his previous education in this field was no less devoid of sense and logic, but if, in addition, he has sacrificed the last residue of his natural instincts on the altar of objective thinking. It is particularly difficult to induce such representatives of our so-called intellectual circles to adopt a realistic and logical attitude in protecting their own interests and the inM
terests of their nation in its relations with foreign countries.</p><blockquote><p>723</p></blockquote><p>Their minds are overladen with a large burden of prejudices and absurd ideas and, as if this were not enough, they have lost or renounced every instinct of self-preservation. Against these men the National Socialist Movement has to fight a hard battle, too, and the struggle is all the harder because, though very often they are utterly incompetent, they are so self-conceited that, without the slightest justificaM
tion, they even look, down on others whose opinions are more sound. These arrogant snobs, who pretend to know better than other people, are wholly incapable of calmly and coolly analysing a problem land of weighing the pros and cons, which is the necessary preliminary to any decision or action taken in the field of foreign politics. Since these particular circles are, at present, beginning to deflect our foreign policy in the most disastrous way from protecting the real interests of our people, in order to serve thM
eir own fantastic ideologies, I feel it incumbent upon me to give my own followers a clear exposition of the most important problem in our foreign policy, namely, our relations with Russia. I shall deal with it as thoroughly as may be necessary to make it generally understood and as far as the limits of this book permit. Let me begin by making the following general remarks. If, by foreign policy, we mean the establishment of relations between any nation and the other nations on this earth, we must admit that the esM
tablishment of such relations must depend on certain definite facts. Moreover, we, as National Socialists, must lay down the following principle as regards the essential characteristics of the foreign policy pursued by a<i>v
lkisch</i>State. The first object of the foreign policy of a<i>v
lkisch</i>State is to safeguard the existence on this earth of the race which has been organised as an entity by this State, by the establishment of a healthy, enduring and natural proportion between the size and the growth of tM
he population, on the one hand, and the area and resources of its territory, on the other. The only proportion which can be termed
is one in which the resources of the soil are sufficient, to guarantee the nation
s food-supply. Any condition which falls short of this is none the less unhealthy for the fact that it may endure for centuries or even thousands of years.</p><blockquote><p>724</p></blockquote><p>Sooner or later, this lack of proportion must of necessity lead to the decline; or even annihiM
lation of the people concerned. Only a sufficiently large space on this earth can assure the independent existence of a people. The extent of the territory necessary for the accommodation of the national population must not be estimated in the light of present exigencies or even of its agricultural productivity in relation to the number of the population. In the first volume of this book, under the heading,
s Policy of Alliances before the War
, I have already explained that the territorial dimensionM
s of a State are of importance not only as the immediate source of the nation
s food-supply, but also from the military standpoint. Once a people have become self-supporting as a result of the adequate area of its territory, the next consideration is how to take the necessary steps to safeguard his territory. National security depends on the political and military strength of a State and this, in turn, depends on its geographical situation looked at from the military point of view. Thus the German nation could asM
sure its own future only by becoming a World Power. For nearly two thousand years the defence of our national interests (as we ought to describe our more or less successful foreign political activities) was a matter of world history. We ourselves have witnessed this, since the gigantic international struggle of the German people for their existence on this earth, and it was carried out in such a way that it has become known in the annals of history as the World War. When Germany entered this struggle it was presumeM
d that she was a World Power. I say
because in reality she was no such thing. If, in 1914, there had been a different proportion between the German population and its territorial area, Germany would really have been a World Power and, leaving other factors out of count, the War would have ended in her favour.</p><blockquote><p>725</p></blockquote><p>It is neither my task nor my intention here to discuss what would have happened if certain conditions had been fulfilled, but I feel it absolutely incumbM
ent on me to depict the present situation in its true light, and to point out its weaknesses which give cause for alarm, in order to make at least those who belong to the National Socialist Movement aware of what steps must be taken. Germany is not a World Power to-day. Even though our present military weakness could be overcome, we would still have no claim to be called a World Power. What importance has any State on earth in which the proportion between the size of the population and the territorial area is so hoM
pelessly unsatisfactory as in the present German Reich? In an epoch in which the world is being gradually portioned out among States, many of whom embrace almost whole continents, one cannot speak of a World Power in referring to a State whose political mother-country is limited to a territorial area of barely five-hundred-thousand square kilometres. Looked at purely from the territorial point of view, the area of the German Reich is insignificant in comparison with that of so-called World Powers. It would be wrongM
to cite the case of Britain for the purpose of disproving this statement, because Great Britain, the mother-country, is in reality the great metropolis of the British World Empire, which covers almost one-fourth of the earth
s surface. Among the giant States we must also consider the United States of America, Russia and China. These are enormous territories, some of which have more than ten times the area of the present German Reich. France must also be ranked among these States. Not only because she is constantM
ly increasing the strength of her army by recruiting coloured troops from the population of her gigantic empire, but also because, from the racial point of view, she is rapidly becoming Negroid to such an extent that we can actually speak of the formation of an African state on European soil. The contemporary colonial policy of France cannot be compared with that of Germany in the past. If France develops along the lines it has taken in our day, and should that development continue for the next three hundred years,M
all traces of French blood will finally be lost in the formation of a Euro-African mulatto state.</p><blockquote><p>726</p></blockquote><p>This would represent a formidable and compact colonial territory stretching from the Rhine to the Congo, inhabited by an inferior race which had developed through a slow and steady process of bastardization. In this, French colonial policy differs from the policy followed by the old Germany. The former German colonial policy consisted in half measures as did almost everything uM
ndertaken at that time It did not aim at the acquisition of new territory for the settlement of German nationals nor did it make any attempt (criminal though this might have been) to reinforce the power of the Reich through the enlistment of black troops. The Askari units in German East Africa represented a small and hesitant step in this direction, but in reality they served only for the defence of the colony itself. The idea of transporting black troops to a European theatre of war
apart entirely from the pracM
tical impossibility of doing so during the World War
was never entertained as a proposal to be carried out under favourable conditions; whereas the French, on the contrary, always looked on this as the underlying motive and justification for their colonial activities. Thus we find in the world to-day a number of powerful States which are not only superior to Germany as regards the numerical strength of their population, but which also possess in territorial area the chief support of their political power. Never hM
as the position of the German Reich, judged from the point of view of its area and the size of its population, been so unfavourable in comparison with other States of whilom importance, as at the beginning of its history two thousand years ago and again to-day. In that other era we were a young people and we stormed a world of decadent giant States, the last of which was Rome, to whose overthrow we contributed. To-day we find ourselves in a world of great and powerful States among which our own Reich is steadily loM
sing in significance. We must always face this bitter truth with clear and calm minds. We must study the area and population of the German Reich in relation to the other States and compare them throughout the centuries. Then, I know, everyone will realise to his consternation that what I said at the outset is true, namely, that Germany is no longer a World Power, whether she be strong or weak from the military point of view.</p><blockquote><p>727</p></blockquote><p>There is no comparison between our position and thM
at of the other States throughout the world, and this is to be attributed to the ill-fated foreign policy pursued by our governments, to the fact that our foreign policy failed absolutely to pursue a definite aim with unswerving perseverance and also to the fact that we have lost every sound impulse and instinct for self-preservation. If the National Socialist Movement is to be credited by posterity with having fulfilled a great mission on behalf of our nation it must fully recognise the serious nature of our actuaM
l position in the world, and struggle bravely and doggedly against the aimlessness and inefficiency which have hitherto led the German people to pursue a false course as regards foreign policy. Without respect for
and without any pre-conceived notions, the Movement must find the courage to organise our national forces, and set them on the path which will lead them beyond the confines of the
which is theirs to-day, to the acquisition of new territory. Thus the Movement will save tM
he German people from the danger of perishing or of becoming slaves in the service of any other people. Our Movement must seek to abolish the present lack of proportion between our population and the area of our national territory, considered as the source of our maintenance or as a basis of political power. It ought also to strive to abolish the contrast between past history and the hopelessly powerless position in which we are to-day. In striving to do so, it must bear in mind the fact that we are the custodians M
of the highest form of civilisation on this earth, that we have a correspondingly high duty and that we shall fulfil this duty only if we inspire the German people with race-consciousness, so that they will concern themselves not merely with the breeding of dogs, horses and cats, but also care for the purity of their own blood. When I say that the foreign policy hitherto followed by Germany has been aimless and ineffectual, the proof of my statement will be found in the actual failure of this policy.</p><blockquoteM
><p>728</p></blockquote><p>Were our people intellectually backward, or did they lack courage, the final results of their efforts could not have been worse than those of which we are witnesses to-day. We must not allow ourselves to be misled by developments during the last decades before the War, because we must not measure the strength of a State taken by itself, but in comparison with other States. Now, this comparison shows that not only had the strength of the other States increased more steadily than that of GeM
rmany, but that in the long run it proved to be greater, so that, despite her apparent prosperity, Germany gradually dropped further behind in the race with other States. In short, the difference in size increases much to our detriment. Even in the size of our population we lagged behind, and kept on losing ground. Since the courage of our people is unsurpassed by that of any other in the world and their sacrifice in defence of their existence greater than that of any other nation, their failure can be ascribed onlM
y to the false way in which this sacrifice was used. If, in this connection, we examine the chain of political vicissitudes through which our people have passed during more than a thousand years, recalling the innumerable struggles and wars and investigating the results as we have them before us to-day, we must confess that from the sea of blood only three phenomena have emerged which we can consider as the lasting fruits of a definite foreign policy, or, in fact of a policy at all. These were, firstly, the colonizM
ation of the<i>Ostmark</i>, which was mainly the work of the Bavarian secondly, the conquest and settlement of the territory east of the Elbe; and thirdly, the organisation of the Brandenburg-Prussian State, which was the work of the Hohenzollerns and which became the model for, and the nucleus of, a new Reich. An instructive lesson for the future! These first two great successes of our foreign policy turned out to be the most enduring. Without them our people would play no part in the world to-day. These achievemeM
nts were the first, and unfortunately the only, successful attempts to establish a satisfactory balance between cur increasing population and the area of our country, and we must regard it as a fatal mistake that our German historians have never correctly appreciated these two outstanding achievements which were of such significance for the following generations.</p><blockquote><p>729</p></blockquote><p>On the other hand, they wrote panegyrics on many other things, on heroism displayed in the pursuit of a fantasticM
aim and on innumerable adventurous campaigns and wars, instead of realising that these latter had no significance in relation to the main course of our national development. The third great success achieved by our political activity was the establishment of the Prussian State and the development of a particular State concept which grew out of this. To the same source we must attribute the organisation of the instinct of national self-preservation and self-defence in the German Army, an achievement which suited theM
modem world. The transformation of the idea of self-defence on the part of the individual into the duty of national defence is derived from the Prussian State and the new State concept which it introduced. It would be impossible to over-estimate the importance of this process. The German nation, which, as a result of racial disintegration, had become the victim of exaggerated individualism, partially regained, through the disciplinary training of the Prussian Army, its capacity for organisation. What other nationsM
still retain of the original herd instinct, we regained, in some measure, for the national community by the artificial means of military training. Consequently, the abolition of compulsory national military service
which may have no significance for dozens of other nations
had fatal consequences for us. Let ten generations of Germans be without the corrective and educative effect of military training and delivered over to the evil effects of their racial and, consequently, ideological disintegration and our pM
eople would lose the last relics of an independent existence on this earth. The German intellect could then make its contribution to civilisation only through the medium of individuals living under the rule of foreign nations and its origin would remain unknown, while acting as the fertilizing manure of civilisation, until the last residue of Nordic-Aryan blood in us had become corrupted or extinct.</p><blockquote><p>730</p></blockquote><p>It is a remarkable fact that the real political successes achieved by our peM
ople during their millennial struggles are better appreciated and understood by our adversaries than by ourselves. Even to-day we wax enthusiastic about an act of heroism which robbed our people of millions of their best racial stock and turned out completely fruitless in the end. The distinction between the real political successes which our people have achieved in the course of their long history and the futile aims for which the blood of the nation has been shed is of supreme importance in determining our policyM
now and in the future. We National Socialists must never allow ourselves to join in the huzzaing patriotism of our contemporary bourgeois circles. It would be fatal for us to look upon the developments immediately before the War as in any way binding us in the choice of our own course. We can recognise no obligation devolving on us which may have its origin in any historical phase of the nineteenth century. In contradiction to the policy of those who represented that period, we must take our stand on the principleM
s already mentioned in regard to foreign policy, namely, the necessity for bringing our territorial area into accord with the number of our population. From the past we can learn only one lesson, and this is that the aim which is to be pursued in our political conduct must be two-fold, namely, (1) the acquisition of territory as the objective of our foreign policy and (2) the establishment of a new, uniform and ideologically secure foundation as the objective of our political activities at home. I shall deal brieflM
y with the question of how far our territorial aims are justified according to ethical and moral principles. This is all the more necessary here because, in our so-called<i>v
lkisch</i>circles, there are all kinds of smooth-tongued phrase-mongers who try to persuade the German people that the great aim of their foreign policy ought to be to right the wrongs of 1918, while at the same time they consider it incumbent on them to assure the whole world of the brotherly spirit and sympathy of the German people.</p><bloM
ckquote><p>731</p></blockquote><p>In regard to this point I should like to make the following preliminary statement. To demand that the 1914 frontiers should be restored is a glaring political absurdity that is fraught with such consequences as to make the claim itself appear criminal. The confines of the Reich as they existed in 1914 were thoroughly illogical, because they were not really complete, in the sense of including all the members of the German people, nor were they reasonable, in view of the geographicalM
exigencies of military defence. They were not the outcome of a well-considered political plan, they were temporary frontiers established in virtue of a political struggle that had not been fought to a finish, and indeed they were partly the chance result of circumstances. One would be equally justified (and in many cases better justified) in selecting any other year in our history and in demanding that the objective of our foreign policy should be the re-establishment of the conditions then existing. The demands IM
have mentioned are quite characteristic of our bourgeois compatriots, who, in such matters, take no politically productive thought for the future. They live only in the past and indeed only in the immediate past, for even their retrospect does not go back beyond their own times. The law of inertia binds them to the present order of things, leading them to oppose every attempt to change this. Their opposition, however, never takes the form of any kind of active defence, it is merely passive obstinacy. Therefore, weM
must regard it as quite natural that the political horizon of such people should not reach beyond 1914. In proclaiming that the aim of their political activities is to have the frontiers of that time restored, they only help to close up the rifts that are already becoming apparent in the league which our enemies have formed against us. Only on these grounds can we explain the fact that eight years after a world conflagration in which a number of allied belligerents had aspirations and aims that were partly in confM
lict with one another, the coalition of the victors still remains more or less solid.</p><blockquote><p>732</p></blockquote><p>Each of those States in its turn profited by the German collapse. In the fear which they all felt of our strength, the Great Powers maintained a mutual silence about their individual feelings of envy and enmity towards one another. They felt that to carry into effect a general process of expropriation of the Reich
s possessions would be the surest guarantee against the possibility of our M
resurgence. A bad conscience and fear of the strength of our people made up the durable cement which has held the members of that league together, even up to the present moment; nor have they been deceived by us. Inasmuch as our bourgeoisie sets up the restoration of the 1914 frontiers as the aim of Germany
s political programme, each member of the enemy coalition who might otherwise be inclined to withdraw from it, clings to the coalition for fear that he might, having lost the support of his allies, become an iM
solated object of attack. Each individual State feels itself endangered and threatened by this battle-cry, and that battle-cry itself is absurd, for the two following reasons: Firstly, because there is no available means of extricating it from the twilight atmosphere of club meetings and transforming it into something real. Secondly, because even if it could be carried into effect the result would be so futile that it would not be worth while to risk the blood of our people once again for such a purpose. There can M
be scarcely any doubt whatsoever that only through bloodshed could we achieve the restoration of the 1914 frontiers. One must have the simple mind of a child to believe that the revision of the Versailles Treaty can be obtained by indirect means and by beseeching the clemency of the victors
apart from the fact that for this we should need a Talleyrand, and there is no Talleyrand among us. Fifty per cent of our politicians are artful dodgers who are without character and hostile to our people, while the other fiftM
y per cent is made up of well-meaning, harmless, and complaisant incompetents. Moreover, times have changed since the Congress of Vienna, it is no longer princes or their courtesans who haggle and bargain about State frontiers, but the inexorable cosmopolitan Jew who fights for dominion over the nations.</p><blockquote><p>733</p></blockquote><p>The sword is the only means whereby a nation can ward off that strangle-hold. Only when the concentrated might of rampant patriotic fervour is organised can it defy the menaM
ce of international enslavement of the nations. Such a course of action entails, and always will entail, bloodshed. If we are once convinced that the future of Germany calls for supreme effort, then, apart from considerations of political prudence, we are in duty bound to set up an aim that is worthy of that effort and to struggle to achieve it. The 1914 frontiers are of no significance for the future of the German nation. They did not serve to protect us in the past, nor do they offer any guarantee for our defenceM
in the future. These frontiers do not help the German people to achieve internal unity, nor do they serve to safeguard its food-supplies. From the military standpoint these frontiers are neither strategically good nor even satisfactory. Finally, they cannot serve to improve our present position in relation to other World Powers, or rather in relation to the real World Powers. They will not lessen the discrepancy between ourselves and Great Britain, nor help us to rival the United States its size. Not only that, buM
t they would not serve to lessen substantially the importance of France in international politics. One thing alone is certain, namely, the attempt to restore the frontiers of 1914, even if it proved successful, would lead to a further draining of the blood of our nation to such an extent that no virile men would be left to execute the revolutions and perform the deeds necessary in order to assure the future existence of the nation. On the contrary, under the intoxicating influence of such a superficial success furtM
her aims would be renounced, all the more so because so-called
would seem to be vindicated and new ports would be opened, at least for a certain time, to our commercial development. In the face of all this we National Socialists must adhere firmly to the aim that we have set for our foreign policy, namely, that the German people must be guaranteed that living-space to which it is entitled, and only in pursuance of such an aim can the shedding of the blood of our people be justified in the eyesM
of God, and future generations of Germans.</p><blockquote><p>734</p></blockquote><p>God
because we are sent into this world to struggle for our daily bread, as creatures to whom nothing is donated and who must be able to win and maintain their position as lords of the earth by virtue of their own intelligence and courage. Germans
in the eyes of further generations of Germans, since the blood of no German should be spilt unless it be to guarantee the lives of a thousand others yet unborn. The territory on whichM
our German peasants will one day be able to rear sturdy sons will justify the sacrifice of the lives of sons of peasants to-day, and though the statesmen responsible for this sacrifice may be persecuted by their contemporaries, posterity will absolve them from the charge of having been guilty of bloodshed and of sacrificing the nation. Here I must protest sharply against those<i>v
lkisch</i>scribblers who pretend that such territorial extension would be a
violation of the sacred rights of man
y attack it in their literary effusions. One never knows what are the hidden forces behind the activities of such persons. But it is certain that the confusion which they provoke suits the game our enemies are playing against our nation and is in accordance with their wishes. By the conception of this attitude such scribblers contribute in criminal fashion to weaken from within and to destroy our people
s will to defend their own vital interests by the only effective means that can be used for that purpose, for nM
o nation on earth possesses a square yard of territory by decree of a higher Will and by virtue of a higher Right. The German frontiers are the outcome of chance and are only temporary frontiers that have been established as the result of political struggles which took place at various times. The same is also true of the frontiers which demarcate the territories in which other nations live. Only an imbecile could look on the physical geography of the globe as fixed and unchangeable. Actually, it represents only an M
apparent interval in a continual evolutionary process due to the certain action of the formidable forces of Nature, and is liable to destruction and transformation to-morrow through still more formidable forces.</p><blockquote><p>735</p></blockquote><p>So, too, in the lives of the nations the confines of their
are liable to change. State frontiers are established by human beings and may be altered by human beings. The fact that a nation has acquired an enormous territorial area is no reason why oM
ther nations should for ever acknowledge its right to that territory. At most, the possession of such territory is a proof of the might of the conqueror and the weakness of those who submit to him and this might alone is right. If the German people is cramped in an insufficient living space and is, for that reason, faced with a hopeless future, it is not by the law of Destiny, and the refusal to accept such a situation is by no means a violation of Destiny
s laws. Just as no Higher Power has allotted more territoM
ry to other nations than to the German nation, an unjust distribution of territory cannot constitute an offence against such a Power. The land in which we now live was not a gift bestowed by Heaven on our forefathers, but was conquered by them at the risk of their lives. Thus, now, in future our people will not acquire territory and with it the means of subsistence as a favour at the hands of any other nation, but will have to win it by the power of a triumphant sword. To-day we are all convinced of the necessity fM
or regulating our position with regard to France; but our success here will be ineffectual in the vain if the general aims of our foreign policy stop at that. It can have significance for us only if it serves to cover our flank in the struggle for that extension of territory which is necessary for the existence of our people in Europe, for colonial acquisitions will not solve that question. It can be solved only by the acquisition of such territory for the settlement of our people as will extend the area of the motM
her-country and thereby not only keep the newly-settled population in close touch with the parent-country, but will guarantee the entire territory the enjoyment of those advantages accruing from its total size.</p><blockquote><p>736</p></blockquote><p>The<i>v
lkisch</i>Movement must not play the advocate for ether nations, but beg the protagonist of its own nation. Otherwise it would he superfluous and, above all, it would have no right to clamour against the past, for it would then be repeating the action of the M
past. The old German policy suffered from having been determined by dynastic considerations, the new German policy must not adopt the sentimentally cosmopolitan attitude of<i>v
lkisch</i>circles. Above all, we must riot form a police guard for the famous
small oppressed nations,
but we must be the soldiers of the German nation. We National Socialists must go still further. The right to territory may become a duty when a great nation seems destined to go under unless its territory be extended, and that is parM
ticularly true when the nation in question is not a handful of Negroes, but the Germanic mother of all those who have given culture to the modern world. Germany will either become a World Power or will not continue to exist, but in order to become a World Power she needs that territorial area which would give her the necessary importance to-day and assure the existence of her citizens. Therefore, we National Socialists have purposely broken away from the line of conduct followed by pre-war Germany in foreign policyM
. We are beginning at the point at which our ancestors left off six hundred years ago. We are putting a stop to the eternal German trek towards Southern and Western Europe and are turning our eyes towards the lands that lie to the east of us. We are abandoning, once and for all, the colonial and commercial policy of pre-war days and are making a start upon the future policy of territorial expansion, but when we speak of new territory in Europe to-day we must think principally of Russia and the border states under hM
er rule. Destiny itself seems to point the way for us here. In delivering Russia over to Bolshevism, Fate robbed the Russian people of that intellectual class which had once created the Russian State and was the guarantee for its existence.</p><blockquote><p>737</p></blockquote><p>The Russian State as such was not the outcome of the ability of the Slav to establish a constitution, but rather a marvellous example of the constructive political activity of the Germanic element in a race of inferior worth. This is the M
way in which many mighty empires throughout the world were created. More than once inferior races with Germanic organisers and rulers as their leaders became formidable States and continued to exist as long as the racial nucleus which had originally created the State remained. For centuries, Russia has lived on this Germanic nucleus of its governing classes, but to-day this nucleus has been practically exterminated. The Jew has taken its place. Just as it is impossible for the Russian, on his own, to shake off the M
Jewish yoke so, too, it is impossible for the Jew to keep this mighty State in existence for any lengthy period of time. He himself is by no means an organising element, but rather a ferment of decomposition. This colossal empire in the East is ripe for dissolution, and the end of the Jewish domination in Russia will also be the end of Russia as a State. We are chosen by Destiny to be the witnesses of a catastrophe which will afford the most striking confirmation of the<i>v
lkisch</i>theory of race. It is our taskM
, and the mission of the National Socialist Movement, to develop in our people that political mentality which will enable them to realise that the aim which they must set themselves in future could not find fulfilment in the glorious enthusiasm of a victorious campaign fought with the ardour of an Alexander the Great. That the Jew should declare himself bitterly hostile to such a policy is only natural, for the Jew knows better than any other what the adoption of this line of conduct will mean for his own future. TM
hat fact alone ought to teach all genuine nationalists that this new orientation is the right one, but, unfortunately, the reverse is the case. Not only among the members of the German National Party, but also in purely<i>v
lkisch</i>circles, violent opposition is being raised against this Eastern European policy, and in connection with that opposition, as in all such cases, the authority of great men is cited.</p><blockquote><p>738</p></blockquote><p>The spirit of Bismarck is evoked in defence of a policy which iM
s as stupid as it is impossible, and is in the highest degree detrimental to the German people. They say that Bismarck attached great importance to the maintenance of good relations with Russia. To a certain extent, that is true, but they quite forget to add that he laid equal stress on the importance of good relations with Italy, for example. Indeed, the same Herr von Bismarck once concluded an alliance with Italy so that he might more easily settle accounts with Austria. Why is this policy not continued to-day? TM
he answer will be to the effect that the Italy of to-day is not the Italy of that time. Well then, honourable sirs, permit me to remind you that the Russia of to-day is no longer the Russia of that time. Bismarck never dreamt of laying down a political course of action which, from the tactical point of view, was to hold good for all time. He was too much the master of the hour to bind himself in that way. The question, therefore, ought not to be what did Bismarck do then, but rather what would he do to-day. And thaM
t question is much easier to answer. His political sagacity would never allow him to ally himself with a State that is doomed to disappear. Moreover, Bismarck looked upon the colonial and commercial policy of his time with mixed feelings, because at first, his chief concern was to find the surest way of consolidating and internally strengthening the state system which he himself had created. That was the sole reason why, at that time, he welcomed Russian protection in the rear, which gave him a free hand for his acM
tivities in the West, but what was then advantageous to Germany would now be detrimental. As early as 1920
21, the young National Socialist Movement was slowly, beginning to make itself felt in the political world and was spoken of in various circles as the movement for the liberation of the German nation. At that time it was approached from various quarters with the object of establishing definite relations with the liberationist movements in other countries.<blockquote><p>739</p></blockquote><p>This was quite iM
n keeping with the much-advertised
League of Oppressed Nations.
The persons concerned were, for the most part, representatives of some of the Balkan States and also of Egypt and India. They always impressed me as loquacious gentlemen who gave themselves airs, but had no real backing. Not a few Germans, however, especially in the nationalist camp, allowed themselves to be taken in by these pompous Orientals, and in the person of some Indian or Egyptian student they believed at once that they were face to face M
of India or Egypt. They did not realise that, in most cases, they were dealing with persons who had no backing and who were not authorised to conclude any sort of agreement whatsoever, so that the practical result of any contact with such individuals was nil, unless one chose to enter the time spent thus as a dead loss. I was always on my guard against these attempts, not only because I had something better to do than to waste weeks in such sterile
but also because I bM
elieved that even if one were dealing with authorised representatives of such nations, the whole affair would be bound to turn out futile, if not positively harmful. Even in peace-time it was lamentable enough that the German policy of alliances, because it had no active and aggressive aims in view, ended in a defensive association of antiquated States which, as far as history was concerned were already on the retired list. There was little to be said either for the alliance with Austria or for that with Turkey. WhM
ile the greatest military and industrial States of the earth had joined together in a league for purposes of active aggression, a few old and effete States were got together, and with this antique bric-a-brac an attempt was made to face an active world-coalition. Germany has had to pay dearly for that mistaken foreign policy and yet not dearly enough to prevent our incorrigible visionaries from falling into the same error again, for the attempt to bring about the disarmament of the all-powerful victorious States thM
League of Oppressed Nations
is not only ridiculous, but disastrous.</p><blockquote><p>740</p></blockquote><p>It is disastrous because in that way the attention of the German people is again being diverted from real possibilities, which they abandon for the sake of fanciful and fruitless hopes and illusions. The German of to-day is like a drowning man who clutches at any straw. At the same time many of the people who are misled in this way are otherwise highly educated. Whenever some will-o
of a fantastic hope appears these people immediately pursue it. No matter whether it be a League of Oppressed Nations, a League of Nations, or some other fantastic invention, thousands of ingenuous souls will always be found to believe in it. I well remember the childishly incomprehensible hope that Britain
s downfall in India was imminent, which was cherished by<i>v
lkisch</i>circles in the years 1920
21. A few Asiatic mountebank, who may even have been sincere
champions of Indian freedom,
a loose end in Europe and succeeded in inspiring otherwise quite reasonable people with the fixed notion that the British World Empire, of which India was the hub, was just about to collapse there. They never realised that this was wishful thinking, nor did they stop to think how absurd their hopes were, for inasmuch as they expected the end of the British Empire and of Britain
s power to follow the collapse of its dominion over India, they themselves admitted that India was of paramount importance to Britain. IM
t is more than probable that this vital question was not in the nature of a mystery known only to the prophets of German<i>v
lkisch</i>circles, but also to those in whose hands lay the shaping of British history. It is simply puerile to suppose that in Britain itself the importance of India for the British Empire was not adequately appreciated. It is a proof of failure to have learned a lesson from the World War and of a thorough misunderstanding and inability to recognise the quality of Anglo-Saxon determination,M
if anyone imagines that Britain would let India go without first putting forth the last ounce of her strength in a struggle to hold it. Moreover, it shows how complete is the ignorance prevailing in Germany as to the manner in which Britain administers her Empire and permeates it with her spirit.</p><blockquote><p>741</p></blockquote><p>Britain will never lose India unless her administrative machinery becomes corrupt as a result of racial contamination (which is at present entirely out of the question in India), oM
r unless she is overcome by the sword of some powerful enemy. Indian risings will never bring this about. We Germans have had sufficient experience to know how hard it is to overcome Britain, and apart from all this, I as a Teuton, would far rather see India under British rule than under that of any other nation. The hopes founded on a legendary rising in Egypt were just as chimerical. The
may give our German nincompoops the pleasing illusion that others are now prepared to shed their blood for them.M
Indeed this cowardly speculation is almost always the father of such hopes, but in actual fact the
would soon be brought to a sanguinary conclusion under the withering fire of British machine-guns and a hail of British shells. A coalition of cripples cannot attack a powerful State which is determined, if necessary, to shed the last drop of its blood in order to preserve its existence. I, as a nationalist, who estimate the worth of humanity according to racial standards, must, in recognising the infeM
riority of the so-called
, refuse to link the destiny of my own people with the destiny of theirs. To-day we must take up the same attitude towards Russia. The Russia of to-day, deprived of its Germanic ruling class, is, apart from the secret designs of its new rulers, no suitable ally in the struggle for German liberty. From the purely military point of view, a Russo-German coalition waging war against Western Europe, and probably against the whole world on that account, would be catastrophiM
c for us. The struggle would have to be fought out, not on Russian, but on German territory, without Germany being able to receive from Russia the slightest effective support. The military forces at the disposal of the present German Reich are so small and so inadequate for the waging of a foreign war that it would be impossible to defend our frontiers against Western Europe, Britain included.</p><blockquote><p>742</p></blockquote><p>The industrial area of Germany would have to be abandoned undefended before the coM
ncentrated attack of our adversaries, It must be added that between Germany and Russia there is the Polish State, completely in the hands of the French. Should Germany and Russia together wage war against Western Europe, Russia would have to overthrow Poland before the first Russian soldier could be conveyed to a German front, but it is less a question of soldiers than of technical equipment. In this respect our plight during the World War would be repeated, but in a more terrible manner. At that time, German, induM
stry had to be drained to help our glorious allies, and on the technical side Germany had to carry on the war almost alone. In this new hypothetical war Russia, as a technical factor, would count for nothing. We should have practically nothing to oppose to the general mechanisation of the world, which in the next war will assume overwhelming and decisive proportions. In this important field Germany has not only shamefully lagged behind, but would, with the little she has, have to reinforce Russia, which at the presM
ent moment does not possess a single factory capable of producing a motor-car in good running order. Under such conditions such a struggle would assume the character of sheer slaughter. The youth of Germany would have to shed more of its blood than it did even in the World War; for, as always, it would fall to us to bear the brunt of the fighting, and the result would be an inevitable catastrophe. Even supposing that a miracle took place and that this war did not end in the total annihilation of Germany, the final M
result would be that the German nation would be bled white, and, surrounded as she would be by great military States, her real situation would be in no way ameliorated. It is useless to object here that in case of an alliance with Russia we should not think of an immediate war or that anyhow we should have the means of making thorough preparations for war.</p><blockquote><p>743</p></blockquote><p>This is absurd, since an alliance which is not for the purpose of waging war has no meaning and no value. The object of M
forming an alliance is to wage war. Even though, at the moment when an alliance is concluded, the prospect of war is a distant one, still the idea of the situation developing towards war is the reason underlying the formation of an alliance. It is out of the question to think that the other Powers would be deceived as to the purpose of such an alliance. A Russo-German coalition would either remain a mere scrap of paper (in which case it would have no meaning for us), or the terms of the agreement would be put into M
effect, and in that case the rest of the world would be forewarned. It would be childish to think that in such circumstances Britain and France would wait ten years to give the Russo-German alliance time to complete its technical preparations. Far from it, the storm would break over Germany immediately. The fact of forming an alliance with Russia would, therefore; be the signal for a new war, the result of which would be the end of Germany. To these considerations the following must be added:</p><p>(1) Those who arM
e in power in Russia to-day have no intention of forming an honourable alliance or of remaining true to it, if they did. It must never be forgotten that the present rulers of Russia are blood-stained criminals, that here we have the dregs of humanity which, favoured by the circumstances of a tragic moment, overran a great State, and, in their lust for blood, killed and extirpated millions of educated people belonging to the ruling classes, and that now for nearly ten years they have ruled with a savage tyranny suchM
as has never been known. It must not be forgotten that these rulers belong to a people in which the most bestial cruelty is allied to a capacity for artful mendacity and which, to-day more than ever, believes itself called upon to impose its sanguinary despotism on the rest of the world.</p><blockquote><p>744</p></blockquote><p>It must not be forgotten that the international Jew, who is to-day absolute master in Russia, does not look upon Germany as an ally, but as a State condemned to the same doom as Russia itseM
lf. One does not form an alliance with a partner whose only aim is the destruction of his co-partner. Above all, one does not enter into alliances with people to whom no treaty is sacred, because they do not exist as the upholders of truth and honour, but as the protagonists of lying and deception, thievery, plunder and robbery. The man who thinks that he can enter into a treaty with parasites is like a tree that believes it can make a bargain with the mistletoe that feeds on it.</p><p>(2) The menace to which RussiM
a once succumbed is perpetually hanging over Germany. Only a bourgeois simpleton could imagine that the Bolshevist danger has been overcome. In his superficial way of thinking he does not suspect that here we are dealing with a phenomenon that is due to an urge of the blood, namely, the aspiration of the Jewish people to become the despots of the world. That aspiration is quite as natural as the impulse of the Anglo-Saxon to rule the world, and as the Anglo-Saxon chooses his own way of attaining those ends and fighM
ts for them with characteristic weapons, so does the Jew. The Jew follows his own methods, he insinuates himself into the very heart of the nations and then proceeds to undermine the national structure from within. The weapons with which he works are lies and calumny, poisonous infection and disintegration, intensifying the struggle until he has succeeded in exterminating his hated adversary to the accompaniment of much bloodshed. In Russian Bolshevism we must recognise the kind of attempt which is being made by thM
e Jew in the twentieth century to secure dominion over the world. In other epochs he worked towards the same goal, but with different, though fundamentally similar, means. The ambition of the Jew is part and parcel of his very nature. Just as no other people would voluntarily check the instinct to increase in numbers or in power, unless forced to do so by external circumstances or senile decay, so the Jew will never, of his own accord, repress his eternal urge and abandon his struggle for world dictatorship.</p><blM
ockquote><p>745</p></blockquote><p>Only external forces can thwart him, or his instinct for world domination will die out with his race. If nations become impotent or extinct through senility it is because they have failed to preserve their racial purity. The Jews preserve the purity of their blood better than any other people on earth. Thus the Jew pursues his fateful course until he meets another and superior force and after a desperate struggle he who would have stormed the heavens is hurled back once more to thM
e regions of Lucifer. To-day Germany is Bolshevism
s next objective. All the force of a fresh missionary idea is needed to rouse our nation once more, to free it from the toils of the international serpent and stop the process of corruption of our blood from within. The forces of our nation, thus liberated, may be employed to preserve our nationality and in this way, prevent a repetition of the recent catastrophe from taking place even in the most distant future. If this be the goal we set ourselves, it would be M
folly to ally ourselves with a country whose ruler is the mortal enemy of our future. How can we release our people from this poisonous grip if we ourselves accept it? How can we teach the German worker that Bolshevism is an infamous crime against humanity if we ally ourselves with this infernal abortion and recognise its existence as legitimate? What right have we to condemn the members of the broad masses whose sympathies lie with a certain<i>Weltanschauung</i>if the rulers of our State choose the representativesM
of that<i>Weltanschauung</i>as their allies? The struggle against the Jewish Bolshevisation of the world demands that we should declare our position towards Soviet Russia. We cannot cast out the Devil through Beelzebub. If to-day even<i>v
lkisch</i>circles are eager for an alliance with Russia, let there but pause to look around in Germany itself, in order that they may realise from what quarter their support comes.</p><blockquote><p>746</p></blockquote><p>Do these people holding<i>v
lkisch</i>views believe thatM
a policy which is recommended and acclaimed by the Marxist international press can benefit the German people? Since when do they fight with weapons provided by the Jew? One reproach which could be levelled against the old German Reich with regard to its policy of alliances was that it spoiled its relations towards all other States by continual vacillation and by its weakness in trying to preserve world peace at all costs, but one reproach which cannot be levelled against it is that it failed to maintain good relatM
ions with Russia. I frankly admit that, before the War, I thought it would have been better if Germany had abandoned her senseless colonial policy and her naval policy and had joined Britain in an alliance against Russia. Thereby Germany would renounce her weak world policy for a determined European policy, with the idea of acquiring new territory on the Continent. I do not forget the constant insolent threats which Pan-Slav Russia made against Germany. I do not forget the continual mobilisation rehearsals, the solM
e object of which was to irritate Germany. I cannot forget the tone of public opinion in Russia which, in pre-war days, excelled itself in hate-inspired outbursts against our nation and our Reich, nor can I forget the big Russian press which was always more favourable to France than to us. Yet, despite all this, another alternative was open to us before the War. We might have won the support of Russia and turned against Britain. Circumstances are entirely different to-day. Although, before the War, we might have swM
allowed our pride and marched at the side of Russia, that is no longer possible to-day. Since then the hand of the world-clock has moved forward and points the hour in which the destiny of our people must be decided one way or another. The present process of consolidation now being carried out by the great States of the world is the last warning signal to us to look to ourselves, to bring our people back from the realm of visions to the realm of hard facts and point the sole way into the future, which will lead theM
old Reich to a new era of prosperity.</p><blockquote><p>747</p></blockquote><p>If, in view of this great and most important task before it, the, National Socialist Movement sets aside all illusions and takes reason as its sole guide, the catastrophe of 1918 may turn out to be an infinite blessing for the future of our nation. As a result of the collapse our nation may succeed in adopting an entirely new attitude with regard to foreign policy, and strengthened within by its new<i>Weltanschauung</i>, the German natiM
on may finally stabilise its foreign policy. It may end by gaining what Britain has, what even Russia had, and what enabled France again and again to make analogous decisions which ultimately proved to be to her advantage, namely, a political testament. The fundamental principles of the political testament of the German nation determining the course of its foreign policy shall be as follows: Never permit two continental Powers to arise in Europe. Look upon every attempt to establish a second military Power on the fM
rontiers of Germany, be it only in the shape of a State capable of becoming a military power, as tantamount to an attack upon Germany. Regard it not only as your right, but as your duty, to prevent by every possible means, including resort to arms, the establishment of such a State, and to crush it, should it be established. See to it that the strength of our nation does not rest on colonial foundations, but on those of our own native territory in Europe. Never consider the Reich secure unless, for centuries to comM
e, it is in a position to give every descendant of our race a piece of ground that he can call his own. Never forget that the most sacred of all rights in this world is man
s right to the soil which he wishes to cultivate for himself and that the holiest of all sacrifices is that of the blood shed for it. I should not like to conclude these remarks without referring once again to the sole possibility of an alliance that exists for us in Europe at the present moment. In the previous chapter dealing with the probleM
s policy of alliances, I mentioned Britain and Italy as the only countries with which it would be worth while for us to strive to form a close alliance and that such an alliance would be advantageous.</p><blockquote><p>748</p></blockquote><p>I should like here to deal briefly with the military importance of such an alliance. The military consequences of this alliance would be the direct opposite of the consequences of an alliance with Russia. Most important of all is the fact that a rapprochement witM
h Britain and Italy would in no way involve a danger of war. The only Power liable to oppose such an alliance would be France who would scarcely be in a position to do so. Thus, such an alliance would afford Germany an opportunity of quietly making those preparations which, within the framework of such a coalition, would necessarily have to lie made with a view to settling accounts with France. The lull significance of such an alliance lies in the fact that its conclusion would not automatically lay Germany open toM
the threat of invasion, but that the very coalition would be broken up, that is to say, the Entente which has been the cause of so many of our misfortunes, would be dissolved, thus making France, our inveterate enemy, the victim of violation. Even though this success would at first have only a moral effect, it would be sufficient to allow Germany such liberty of action as we cannot now imagine, for the new Anglo-German-Italian alliance would have the political initiative and no longer France. A further result woulM
d be that at one stroke Germany would finally be delivered from her unfavourable strategical position. On the one side, her flank would be strongly protected and, on the other, the guarantee that we would have an adequate supply of foodstuffs and raw materials would be a beneficial result of this new coalition of States. Almost more important, however, is the fact that this new league would include States whose potential of technical production would, in many respects, be mutually complementary. For the first time M
Germany would have allies who would not like vampires suck the life-blood of her industry, but could, and would, contribute liberally to the completion of our technical equipment.</p><blockquote><p>749</p></blockquote><p>We must not forget one final fact, namely, that in this case we should not have allies like Turkey or present-day Russia. The greatest World Power on this earth and a young national State would constitute factors in a European struggle which were very different from the corrupt and decadent Powers M
to which Germany was allied in the last war. As I have already said, there are great obstacles in the way of such an alliance. But was not the formation of the Entente somewhat more difficult? Where King Edward VII succeeded, partly in the face of traditional interests, we must and will succeed, if we are so convinced of the necessity for such a development that we are wisely prepared to conquer our own feelings and carry the policy through. This will be possible only when, driven to action by suffering and distresM
s, we renounce the shilly-shallying foreign policy of recent decades and follow unswervingly a course of action in pursuit of a definite aim. The future goal of our foreign policy ought to be neither a Western nor an Eastern bias; it ought to be an Eastern policy the object of which is the acquisition of such territory as is necessary in order that the German people can live. To carry out this policy we need that force of which France, the mortal enemy of our nation, is now depriving us by holding us in her grip anM
d pitilessly robbing us of our strength. We must, therefore, stop at no sacrifice in an effort to stop France
s striving for hegemony in Europe. As our natural ally to-day we have every Power on the Continent which, like ourselves, feels France
s lust for mastery in Europe unbearable. No attempt to approach those Powers ought to appear too difficult to us, and no sacrifice should be considered too great, if the final outcome would be to make it possible for us to overthrow our most bitter enemy. The minor woundM
s will be cured by the beneficent influence of Time, once the major wound has been cauterised and closed.</p><blockquote><p>750</p></blockquote><p>Naturally, the internal enemies of our people will howl with rage, but let us, as National Socialists, not be misled into ceasing to advocate what our most profound conviction tells us to be necessary. We must oppose the current of public opinion which will be led astray by Jewish cunning in exploiting our German lack of perception. The waves may often rage and roar arouM
nd us; but the man who swims with the current attracts less attention than he who buffets it. To-day we are but a rock in the river. In a few years Fate may raise us up as a dam against which the general current will be broken, only to flow forward in a new bed. It is, therefore, necessary that in the eyes of the rest of the world our Movement should be recognised as representing a definite political programme. Whatever fate Heaven may have in store for us, we must be recognised by an outward and visible sign. As lM
ong as we ourselves recognise the ineluctable necessity which must determine our foreign policy, this knowledge will lend us that power of endurance which we often require when, under the withering fire of the opposition press, some of us experience fear and are assailed by the temptation to make concessions here or there and
to do as the Romans do,
in order not to have the whole world against us.</p><blockquote><p>751</p></blockquote><blockquote><p>752</p></blockquote><blockquote><p>753</p></blockquote><h1 iM
d="chapter-xv-the-right-to-self-defence">CHAPTER XV: THE RIGHT TO SELF-DEFENCE</h1><p>After we had laid down our arms, in November 1918, a policy was adopted which, as far as man could foretell, was bound to lead gradually to our complete subjugation. Analogous examples culled from history show that those nations which lay down their arms without being absolutely forced to do so, subsequently prefer to submit to the greatest humiliations and exactions rather than try to change their fate by resorting to arms again.M
That can be explained on purely human grounds. A shrewd conqueror will always enforce his demands on the conquered only by stages, as far as that is possible. Then he may be reasonably certain that a people who have lost all strength of character (which is always true of every nation that voluntarily submits to the threats of an opponent) will not find in any of these acts of oppression, if one be enforced apart from the other, sufficient grounds for taking up arms again. The more often the conquered nation submitM
s to extortion, the less justifiable in its eyes is the final revolt against a fresh and apparently isolated, but constantly recurring act of extortion, especially if more and greater misfortunes have already been borne in silence and with patience. The fall of Carthage is a terrible example of the slow destruction of a people for which they themselves were to blame. In his<i>Drei Bekenntnisse</i>, Clausewitz expressed this idea admirably and gave it a definite form when he said,
The stigma of shame incurred by M
cowardly submission can never be effaced. The drop of poison which thus enters the blood of a nation will be transmitted to posterity. It will undermine and paralyse the strength of later generations.
But he added that, on the contrary,
even the loss of liberty after a sanguinary and honourable struggle ensures the resurgence of a nation and is the vital nucleus from which a new tree will one day put forth sound roots.
Naturally, a nation which has lost all sense of honour and all strength of character wilM
l not feel the force of such a doctrine, but any nation that takes it to heart will never fall so low.</p><blockquote><p>754</p></blockquote><p>Only those who forget it or do not wish to acknowledge it will collapse. Hence, those responsible for a cowardly submission cannot be expected suddenly to change their line of conduct in accordance with the dictates of common sense and human experience. On the contrary, they will repudiate such a doctrine, either until the people becomes habituated to the yoke of slavery orM
until the better elements of the nation come to the fore and wrest the power from the hands of the infamous corrupter. In the first case these who hold power will be pleased with the state of affairs, because the conquerors often entrust them with the duties of slave-driver, and they, as utterly characterless beings, are then more cruel in the exercise of their authority over their own countrymen than the most cruel alien appointed to the task by the enemy. The events which happened in Germany after 1918 prove howM
the hope of securing the clemency of the victor by means of a voluntary submission had the most disastrous influence on the political attitude and conduct of the broad masses. I say
expressly, because I cannot persuade myself that the things which were done or left undone by the leaders of the people are to be attributed to a similar disastrous illusion. Seeing that since the war our fate has been in the hands of the Jews, and to-day admittedly so, it is impossible to assume that a defectiveM
knowledge of the state of affairs was the sole cause of our misfortunes. On the contrary, we may take it for granted that our people were intentionally brought to ruin. Looked at from this point of view the apparent insanity of our government
s foreign policy is revealed as a piece of shrewd calculating logic, put into effect in order to promote the Jewish idea of a struggle for world-mastery. Thus it appears comprehensible that the same period of seven years, which, after 1806, sufficed to imbue Prussia (which M
had been in a state of collapse) with fresh vitality and the zeal for battle, has to-day not only been wasted, but has led to a steady sapping of the vital strength of the State.</p><blockquote><p>755</p></blockquote><p>Seven years after November 1918 the Locarno Pact was signed. Thus the development which occurred took the form I have indicated above. Once the shameful Armistice had been signed, our people were unable to pluck up sufficient courage and energy to offer a sudden resistance to the oppressive measuresM
adopted and constantly repeated by the enemy, who was too shrewd to put forward too many demands at once. He invariably limited his exactions to, amounts which, in his opinion and that of our German Government, could be submitted to for the moment, thus avoiding the risk of an outburst of public feeling. But, the more frequently single impositions were accepted and tolerated, the less justifiable did it appear to do now, on account of one single imposition or attempted humiliation, what had not been done previouslM
y in the case of so many others, namely, to offer resistance. That is the
of which Clausewitz speaks. Once this lack of character is manifested the resultant condition becomes steadily aggravated and weighs like an evil heritage on all future decisions. It may become a millstone round the nation
s neck, which cannot be shaken off, but which forces it to drag out its existence in slavery. Thus, in Germany measures enforcing disarmament, oppression, economic spoliation and measures designed to M
render us politically defenceless followed one upon the other. The result of all this was to create that mood which made so many look upon the Dawes Plan as a blessing and the Locarno Pact as a success. From a higher point of view we may speak of one sole blessing in the midst of so much misery, namely, that, though men may be fooled, Heaven cannot be bribed, for Heaven withheld its blessing. Since that time misery and anxiety have been the constant companions of our people, and distress is the one ally that has reM
mained loyal to us. Here, too, Destiny has made no exceptions. It has given us our deserts. Since we did not know how to value honour, it has taught us to value liberty through want of bread. Now that the nation has learned to cry for bread, it may one day learn to pray for freedom.</p><blockquote><p>756</p></blockquote><p>Bitter and obvious as the collapse of our nation was in the years following 1918 that was nevertheless the time chosen to persecute with the utmost severity anyone who presumed to foretell what aM
fterwards invariably took place. This was particularly so when it was a question of
warning voices which were unwelcome because unpleasant. The government to which our people submitted was as hopelessly incompetent as it was conceited, and this was evinced in their attitude towards those who made themselves unpopular by issuing disconcerting warnings. Then we saw, as we can see to-day, the greatest parliamentary nincompoops, really common saddlers and glove-makers (not merely by trade, for that woulM
d signify very little) suddenly raised to the rank of statesmen and sermonising to humble mortals from that pedestal. It did not matter, and it still does not matter, that such a
after having displayed his talents for six months is shown up for what he is, namely, a mere windbag, and becomes the object of public scorn. It does not matter that he has given the most conclusive proof of complete incompetency. On the contrary, the less real the service parliamentary statesmen of this Republic render thM
e country, the more savagely do they persecute all who expect them to achieve something or who dare to point to their failures and to predict similar failures in the future. Should anyone finally succeed in pinning down one of these parliamentarians to hard facts, so that this
is unable to deny the failure of his whole policy and its results, he will find innumerable excuses for his lack of success, but will in no way admit that he himself, is the chief cause of the evil. By the winter of 1922
at the latest, it ought to have, been generally recognised that, even after the conclusion of peace, France was still endeavouring with iron consistency to realise her original war aims. It is inconceivable that for four and a half years France should have continued to sacrifice the none too abundant supply of her national blood in the most decisive struggle throughout her history in order subsequently to obtain compensation through reparations for the damages sustained.</p><blockquote><p>757</p></blockquote><p>EvM
en Alsace and Lorraine, taken by themselves, would not account for the energy with which the French conducted the War, if Alsace-Lorraine were not already considered as a part of the really vast programme which French foreign policy had envisaged for the future. The aim of that programme was the dismemberment of Germany into a number of small states. It was for this that chauvinist France waged war, and in so doing she was in reality selling her people as mercenaries to the international Jew. This French war aim woM
uld have been attained through the World War if, as was originally hoped in Paris, the struggle had been fought out on German soil. Let us imagine the bloody battles of the World War not as having taken place on the Somme, in Flanders, in Artois, outside Warsaw, NishniNovogorod, Kowno and Riga, but in Germany, in the Ruhr or on the Maine, on the Elbe, outside Hanover, Leipzig, N
rnberg, etc.; had this happened, then we must admit that the destruction of Germany might have been accomplished. It is very doubtful wheM
ther our young federal State could have borne the hard struggle for four and a half years, as it was borne by a France that had been centralised for centuries, with the whole national imagination focussed on Paris. If this titanic conflict between the nations took place beyond the frontiers of our Fatherland, not only is all the merit due to the immortal service rendered by our old Army, but it was also very fortunate for the future of Germany. I am of the firm conviction (and this conviction often fills me with drM
ead) that if things had taken a different course there would no longer be a German Reich, but only
and that is the only reason why the blood which was shed by our friends and brothers during the War was not shed quite in vain. Events took a different turn. In November 1918 Germany did indeed collapse with lightning suddenness, but when the catastrophe took place at home the Army was still holding a line deep in the enemy
s country.</p><blockquote><p>758</p></blockquote><p>At that time France
s first preoccupation was not the dismemberment of Germany, but the problem of how to get the German troops out of France, and Belgium as quickly as possible. In order to put an end to the War, the first thing that had to be done by the French Government was to disarm the German troops and push them back into Germany if possible. Until this was done the French could not devote their attention to realising their own particular and original war aims. France was, however, hindered in this by the fact that as far as M
Britain was concerned, the War was really only won when Germany was destroyed as a colonial and commercial power, and was reduced to the rank of a secondclass State. It was not to Britain
s interest to wipe out the German State altogether. In fact, on many grounds it was desirable for her to have a future rival against France in Europe. France was therefore forced to carry on by peaceful means the work for which the War had paved the way; and Clemenceau
s statement, that for him peace was merely a continuation M
of the War, thus acquired added significance. Persistently and at every possible opportunity the effort to dislocate the framework of the Reich had to be continued. By perpetually sending new notes that demanded disarmament, on the one hand, and by the imposition of economic levies, on the other, which could be carried out as a result of the process of disarmament, it was hoped in Paris that the framework of the Reich would gradually become unstable. The more the Germans lost their sense of national honour, the morM
e would economic pressure and continued economic distress be effective as factors of political destruction. Such a policy of political oppression and economic exploitation, carried out for ten or twenty years, must it was believed, in the long run steadily ruin and eventually disintegrate the most solid national body. Then the French war aims would have been definitely attained. By the winter of 1922
23 the intentions of the French must have long been obvious. There remained only two possible ways of confronting M
the situation.</p><blockquote><p>759</p></blockquote><p>It was hoped that either French determination might be blunted by the toughness of the German national body, or, that it might at least be possible to do what was bound to become inevitable one day
that is to say, under the provocation of some particularly brutal act of oppression to put the helm of the German ship of state to roundabout and ram the enemy. That would naturally involve a life-and-death struggle. The chance of surviving this struggle depended M
on whether France could be so far isolated beforehand that in this second conflict, Germany would not have to fight against the whole world, but in defence of Germany against a France that was persistently disturbing the peace of the world. I insist on this point, and I am profoundly convinced that it is inevitable that this second alternative will one day come about. I shall never believe that France will of herself alter her intentions towards us, because they are, at bottom, only the expression of the French insM
tinct for self-preservation. Were I a Frenchman, and were the greatness of France as dear to me as that of Germany is sacred, I neither could nor would act otherwise than a Clemenceau. The French nation, which is slowly dying out, not so much through depopulation as through the progressive disappearance of the best elements of the race, can continue to play an important role in the world only if Germany be dismembered. French policy may make a thousand detours on the march towards its fixed goal, but the destructioM
n of Germany is the end which it always has in view as the fulfilment of the most profound desire and ultimate intentions of the French. Now, it is a mistake to believe that if the will on one side remains merely passive and intent on its own self-preservation, it can hold out permanently against another will which is not less forceful, but is active. As long as the eternal conflict between France and Germany is waged only in the form of a German defence against the French attack, it will never be brought to a concM
lusion, although Germany will, in the course of centuries, lose one foothold after another.</p><blockquote><p>760</p></blockquote><p>If we study the changes, the line of demarcation of the German language has undergone from the twelfth century up to our day, in the frontier, within which the German language is spoken, we can hardly hope for future success from an attitude and development which have hitherto been so detrimental to us. Only when the Germans have fully realised all this will they cease to allow the naM
tional will to live to peter out in passive defence, but will rally it for a last decisive contest with France and a final struggle for the realisation of Germany
s highest aims. Only then will it be possible to put an end to the eternal Franco-German conflict which has hitherto proved so sterile. Of course it is here presumed that Germany sees in the suppression of France nothing more than a means which will make it possible for our people finally to expand in another direction. To-day there are eighty million GM
ermans in Europe, and our foreign policy will be recognised as rightly conducted only when, after barely a hundred years, there will be two hundred and fifty million Germans living on this Continent, not packed together like coolies and working in factories at the bidding of the rest of the world, but as tillers of the soil and workers whose labours will be a mutual guarantee for their existence. In December 1922, the situation between Germany and France assumed a particularly threatening aspect. France had new andM
comprehensive oppressive measures in view and needed pledges. Political pressure had to precede economic exploitation, and the French believed that only by making a violent attack upon the central nervous system of German life would they be able to make our
people bow to their galling yoke. By the occupation of the Ruhr, it was hoped in France that not only would the moral backbone of Germany be finally broken, but that we should be reduced to such grave economic straits that we should be forcedM
to subscribe willy-nilly to the heaviest possible obligations. It was a question of bending and breaking Germany. At first Germany bent and subsequently broke down completely. Through the occupation of the Ruhr, Fate once more reached out its hand to the German people and gave them the chance to arise, for what at first appeared as a heavy stroke of misfortune was found, on closer examination, to be an extremely promising opportunity of bringing Germany
s sufferings to an end.<blockquote><p>761</p></blockquote><M
p>As regards foreign politics, the action of France in occupying the Ruhr really estranged Britain for the first time, Indeed it estranged not merely British diplomatic circles, which had concluded, appraised and upheld the AngloFrench alliance in a spirit of calm and objective calculation, but it also estranged large sections of the British public. The English business-world in particular ill concealed its displeasure at this incredible additional strengthening of the power of France on the Continent. Not only hadM
France now assumed from the military standpoint alone a position in Europe such as Germany herself had not held previously, but she thus obtained control of economic resources which, from the practical point of view, combined her ability to compete in the political world with economic advantages almost amounting to a monopoly. The most important iron and coal mines in Europe were now all in the hands of one nation which, in contrast to Germany, had hitherto defended its vital interests in an active and resolute faM
shion and which had, during the Great War, given the world fresh proof of its military efficiency. The French occupation of the Ruhr coal-fields effectively cancelled all that Britain had gained by the War, and the victors were no longer the diligent and painstaking British statesmen, but Marshal Foch and the France he represented. In Italy also the attitude towards France, which, in any case, had not been very favourable since the end of the War, now became positively hostile. The great and critical moment had comM
e when the Allies of yesterday might become the enemies of to-morrow. The fact that events took another course and that the Allies did not suddenly come into conflict with one another, as in the Second Balkan War, was due to the fact that Germany had no Enver Pasha, but merely a Cuno, as Chancellor of the Reich. Nevertheless, the French invasion of the Ruhr opened up great possibilities for the future, not only in the field of Germany
s foreign policy, but also of her internal politics.</p><blockquote><p>762</p><M
/blockquote><p>A considerable section of our people who, thanks to the persistent influence of a mendacious press, had looked upon France as the champion of progress and liberty, were suddenly cured of its illusion. As in 1914 the dream of international solidarity was suddenly banished from the minds of our German working class and they were brought back to the world of everlasting struggle, where one creature feeds on the other and where the death of the weaker implies the life of the stronger, so again in the sprM
ing of 1923. When the French put their threat into effect and penetrated, at first hesitatingly and cautiously, into the coal-field of the Ruhr the hour of destiny had struck for Germany. If, at that moment, our people had changed not only their frame of mind, but also their conduct, the German Ruhr could have been made for France what Moscow was for Napoleon. Indeed, there were only two possibilities
either to tolerate this new move, in addition to all the rest and to do nothing, or to focus the attention of theM
German people on, that region of sweltering forges and blazing furnaces, thus firing them with the determination to put an end to this persistent humiliation and to face the horrors of the moment rather than submit to a terror that was endless. Cuno, who was then Chancellor of the Reich, can claim the immortal merit of having discovered a third way, and our German bourgeois political parties merit the still greater glory of having admired him and collaborated with him. I shall first deal as briefly as possible witM
h the second alternative. By occupying the Ruhr, France committed a flagrant violation of the Versailles Treaty. Her action brought her into conflict with several of the guarantor Powers, and especially with Britain and Italy. She could no longer hope that those States would back her in her egotistic act of brigandage. She could only count on bringing the adventure, for such it was at the start, to a satisfactory conclusion by her own unaided efforts. For a German National Government there was only one alternative,M
namely, the course which honour prescribed. Certainly at the beginning we could not have opposed France with active armed resistance, but it should have been clearly recognised that any negotiations which did not have the argument of force to back them up would turn out futile and ridiculous.</p><blockquote><p>763</p></blockquote><p>It was absurd to adopt the attitude,
We refuse to take part in any negotiations,
unless there was a possibility of offering active resistance, but it was still more absurd to conM
sent finally to negotiate without having meantime organised a supporting force. At the same time, it was, of course, impossible for us to prevent the occupation of the Ruhr by the adoption of military measures. Only a madman could have recommended such a course, but while the impression made by the French action lasted and during the time that that action was being carried out, measures could have been, and should have been undertaken without any regard to the Versailles Treaty
which France herself had violated
to collect a military force which would serve as a collateral argument to back up the negotiators later on. For it was quite clear from the beginning that the fate of this district occupied by the French would one day be decided at some conference table or other. It must also be quite clear to everybody that even the best negotiators have little hope of success as long as the ground on which they stand and the very chair on which they sit are not under the armed protection of their own people. A weak pigmy cannot M
argue with athletes and a negotiator without armed defence at his back must always acquiesce when a Brennus throws his sword into the scales on the enemy
s side, unless he can preserve the balance with an equally mighty sword of his own. It was distressing to watch the comedy of negotiations which, ever since 1918, regularly preceded each arbitrary dictate that the enemy imposed upon us. We presented a sorry spectacle in the eyes of the whole world when we were invited, as if in derision, to attend conferences, sM
imply to be presented with decisions and programmes which had already been drawn up and passed a long time previously, and which, though we were permitted to discuss them, had, from the outset, to be considered as unalterable.</p><blockquote><p>764</p></blockquote><p>It is true that in scarcely a single instance were our negotiators men of more than mediocre ability. For the most part they justified only too well the sarcastic remark made by Lloyd George with reference to Herr Simon, an excabinet minister of the ReM
ich, that the Germans were not able to choose men of intelligence as their leaders and representatives. But in face of the enemy
s resolute determination to acquire power, on the one side, and the lamentable defencelessness of Germany, on the other, even a genius could have achieved but little. In the spring of 1923, however, anyone who weighed the possibility of seizing the opportunity of the French invasion of the Ruhr to reconstruct the military power of Germany would first have had to restore to the nation itM
s moral weapons, to reinforce its will-power, and to do away with those who had destroyed this most valuable element of national strength. Just as in 1918 we had to pay with our blood for failure to crush the Marxist serpent underfoot once and for all in 1914 and 1915, we have now to suffer retribution for the fact that in the spring of 1923, we did not seize the opportunity then offered us for finally putting a stop to the mischief being done by the Marxist traitors and murderers. Any idea of offering real resistaM
nce to the French was pure folly as long as the fight had not been taken up against those forces which, five years previously, had broken German resistance on the battlefields by the influence which they exercised at home. Only bourgeois minds could have arrived at the
incredible conviction that Marxism had probably become quite a different thing now and that the unprincipled ringleaders of 1918, who callously used the bodies of our two million dead as stepping-stones on which they climbed into various governmenM
t positions, would now, in the year 1923, suddenly show themselves ready to pay tribute to the national conscience. It was veritably a piece of incredible folly to expect that those traitors would suddenly appear as the champions of German freedom. They had no intention of doing so. Just as a hyena will not abandon its carrion, a Marxist will not give up betraying his country. It is beside the point to put forward the stupid argument, that so and so many workers gave their lives for Germany. That is true, but then M
they were no longer internationally minded Marxists.</p><blockquote><p>765</p></blockquote><p>If, in 1914, the German working class had consisted of real Marxists, the War would have ended within three weeks. Germany would have collapsed before the first soldier had put a foot beyond the frontier. The fact that the German people carried on the War proved that the Marxist delusion had not yet penetrated deeply, but as the War dragged on German soldiers and workers gradually fell once more under the spell of the MarxM
ist leaders, and to the same degree in which they relapsed, their country was bereft of their services. If, at the beginning of the War, or even during the War, twelve or, fifteen thousand of these Jewish corruptors of the people had been forced to submit to poison-gas, just as hundreds of thousands of our best German workers from every social class and from every trade and calling had to face it in the field, then the millions of sacrifices made at the front would not have been made in vain. On the contrary, if twM
elve thousand of these malefactors had been eliminated in time, probably the lives of a million decent men, who would have been of service to Germany in the future, might have been saved. But it was in accordance with bourgeois
to hand over, without batting an eyelid, millions of human beings to be slaughtered on the battlefield, and to look upon ten or twelve thousand public traitors, profiteers, usurers and swindlers, as the nation
s most precious and most sacred asset and to publicly proclaM
im their persons inviolable. Indeed it would be hard to, say what is the most outstanding feature of these bourgeois circles, mental debility, moral weakness and cowardice, or rascally ideology. It is a class that is certainly doomed to go under, but, unhappily, it drags down the whole nation with it into the depths. The situation in 1923 was similar to that of 1918. No matter what form of resistance was decided upon, the first prerequisite for taking action was the elimination of the Marxist poison from the body oM
f the nation, and in my opinion it was the first task of a really National government to seek and to find those forces that were determined to wage a war of annihilation against Marxism and to give those forces a free hand. It was their duty not to bow down before the fetish of
at a moment when the enemy from without was dealing the Fatherland a death blow and when high treason was lurking at every streetcorner at home.</p><blockquote><p>766</p></blockquote><p>A really National government ought M
then to have welcomed disorder and unrest, if this turmoil afforded an opportunity of finally settling with the Marxists, who are the mortal enemies of our people. This opportunity having been neglected, it was sheer folly to think of resisting, no matter what form that resistance might take. Of course, to settle accounts with the Marxists on a scale which would be of genuine historical and universal importance could not be effected along lines laid down by some secret council or according to a plan concocted in thM
e worn-out brain of some cabinet minister. It would have to be in accordance with the eternal laws of life on this Earth which are, and will remains those of a ceaseless struggle for existence. It must be remembered, that in many instances a hardy and healthy nation has emerged from the ordeal of bloody civil war, while from peace conditions which had been artificially maintained there often resulted a state of national putrescence that reeked to heaven. The fate of a nation cannot be altered with the velvet glove M
and in 1923 the iron hand should have been used ruthlessly to crush the vipers that battened on the body of the nation. Only after this had been done would preparations for active resistance have had any point. At that time I often talked myself hoarse trying to make clear, at least to the so-called national circles, how much was then at stake, and that by repeating the errors committed in 1914 and the subsequent years we would inevitably meet with the same catastrophe as in 1918. I frequently implored them to let M
Fate have a free hand and to make it possible for our Movement to settle with the Marxists, but I preached to deaf ears. All of them, including the Chief of the Defence Forces, thought they knew better, until finally they found themselves forced to subscribe to the vilest capitulation in the records of history. I then became profoundly convinced that the German bourgeoisie had come to the end of its mission and was not capable of fulfilling any further function.</p><blockquote><p>767</p></blockquote><p>Then, too, IM
recognised that all the bourgeois parties had been fighting Marxism merely out of a spirit of competition without sincerely wishing to destroy it. They had long ago become reconciled to the idea that their country was doomed to destruction and their one care was to secure good seats at the funeral banquet. It was for this alone that they kept on
At that time (I admit it freely) I conceived a profound admiration for the great man beyond the Alps, whose ardent love for his people inspired him not to M
s internal enemies, but to use every possible means in an effort to wipe them out. What places Mussolini in the ranks of the world
s great men is his decision not to share Italy with the Marxists, but to redeem his country from Marxism by destroying internationalism. What miserable pygmies our sham statesmen in Germany appear by comparison with him! How nauseating it is to witness the conceit and effrontery of these nonentities in criticising a man who is a thousand times greater than they, aM
nd how humiliating it is to think that this takes place in a country which as recently fifty years ago had a Bismarck for its leader! The attitude adopted by the bourgeoisie in 1923 and the way in which they dealt kindly with Marxism decided from the outset the fate of any attempt at active resistance in the Ruhr. With that deadly enemy in our own ranks it was sheer folly to think of fighting France. The most that could then be done was to stage a sham fight in order to satisfy the German national element to some eM
xtent, to tranquillize the
seething indignation of the public,
or dope it, which was what was really intended. Had they really believed in what they did, they ought to have recognised that the strength of a nation lies, primarily, not in its arms, but in its will, and that before setting out to conquer the external enemy, the enemy at home must be exterminated; otherwise, disaster must result if victory be not achieved on the very first day of the fight.</p><blockquote><p>768</p></blockquote><p>The shadow of M
one defeat is sufficient to break the resistance of a nation that has not been liberated from its internal enemies, and give the adversary the final victory. In the spring of 1923 all this might have been foreseen. It is useless to ask whether it was then possible to count on a military success against France, for had the result of the German action in regard to the French invasion of the Ruhr been only the destruction of Marxism at home, success would have been on our side. Once liberated from the deadly enemies oM
f her present and future existence, Germany would possess forces which no power in the world could strangle again. On the day when Marxism is broken in Germany, the chains that bind her will be smashed for ever, for never in the course of our history have we been conquered by the might of our enemies, but only through our own failings and the enemy in our own camp. Since the German Government of that day were unable to decide on such a heroic step, the only alternative left was to house the first course, namely, toM
do nothing and let things slide. But, at this crucial moment, Heaven sent Germany a great man in the person of Herr Cuno. He was neither a statesman nor a politician by profession, still less a born politician, but he was a kind of political office-boy who was entrusted with odd jobs. Apart from that, he was more of a business-man. It was Germany
s misfortune that this politicising business-man looked upon politics in the light of business and acted accordingly.
France has occupied the Ruhr. What is there in M
the Ruhr? Coal. Then France has occupied the Ruhr for the sake of its coal!
What was more natural than that Herr Cuno should hit on the idea of a strike in order to prevent the French from obtaining coal? Then (at least so argued Herr Cuno), they would leave the Ruhr one fine day since the occupation had not turned out to be a paying speculation. Such were approximately the lines along which that outstanding national statesman reasoned.</p><blockquote><p>769</p></blockquote><p>At Stuttgart and in other places heM
and his people were lost in admiration. Of course they needed the Marxists for the strike, because the strike had necessarily to be an action undertaken by the workers. It was, therefore, essential to bring the worker (who to a bourgeois statesman such as Cuno, was one and the same thing as a Marxist) into a united front with all other Germans. It was wonderful to see how the countenances of these moth-eaten bourgeois party politicians beamed with delight when the great genius spoke the M
word of revelation to them. Here was a nationalist and a man of genius. At last they had discovered what they had so long sought, for now the gulf between Marxism and themselves could be bridged over. Thus it became possible for the pseudo-nationalist to play the heavy Teuton to adopt a nationalist pose and at the same time to extend the trusty hand of friendship to the internationalist traitors of his country. The traitors readily grasped that hand, because, just as Herr Cuno had need of the Marxist chiefs for hisM
the Marxist chiefs needed Herr Cuno
s money. Both parties, therefore, benefited by the transaction. Cuno obtained his united front, constituted of nationalist chatterboxes and anti-national swindlers, and now, with the help of the money paid to them by the State, the international imposters were able to pursue their glorious mission, which was to destroy the national economic system, this time at the expense of the State. It was a stroke of genius to think of saving a nation by means of a genM
eral strike in which the strikers were paid by the State. It was a command that could be enthusiastically obeyed by the most indifferent of loafers. Everybody knows that prayers will not liberate a nation, but history has yet to show whether a nation can be set free by
If instead of promoting a paid general strike at that, time, and making this the basis of his
Herr Cuno had demanded two hours more work from every German, then the swindle of the
been over and done with, within three days. Nations do not obtain their freedom by refusing to work, but by making sacrifices.</p><blockquote><p>770</p></blockquote><p>Anyhow, the so-called passive resistance could not last long. Nobody but a man entirely ignorant of war could imagine that an army of occupation could be frightened and driven out by such ridiculous means, and yet this could have been the only purpose of an action for which the country had to pay out milliards and which contributed seriously to devaM
luate the national currency. Of course, the French were able to settle down comfortably in the Ruhr with an easy mind the moment they saw that such ridiculous measures were being adopted against them. We ourselves had shown them the best way of bringing a recalcitrant civilian population to a sense of reason, if its, conduct implied a serious danger to the officials which the army of occupation had placed in authority. Nine years previously we had with lightning-like rapidity wiped out bands of Belgian francs-tireuM
rs and made the civilian population clearly understand the seriousness of the situation, when the activities of these bands threatened grave danger to the German Army. Similarly, if passive resistance in the Ruhr had really become a menace to the French, the armies of occupation would have needed no more than eight days to bring the whole piece of childish nonsense to a gruesome end. The fundamental question will always be, what are we to do if passive resistance reaches a point where it really gets on the nerves oM
f our opponents and they proceed to suppress it with force and bloodshed? Are we still to resist? If so, then we must, whether we like it or not, submit to severe and bloody persecution, and in that case we shall be faced with the same situation which we should have had to face, had we offered active resistance, in other words, we should have to fight. Therefore, so-called passive resistance would be logical only if supported by the determination to continue this resistance, if necessary, either in an open fight orM
by means of guerilla warfare. Generally speaking, such a struggle is never carried on, except in the conviction that success is possible. A besieged stronghold, hard pressed by the enemy, surrenders, to all practical purposes, at that moment when it is forced to abandon all hope of relief, especially if, in such a case, the defenders are attracted by the promise of life instead of probable death.</p><blockquote><p>771</p></blockquote><p>Let the garrison of a citadel which has been completely encircled by the enemyM
once lose all hope of deliverance, and the spirit of the defenders is broken immediately. That is why, if one considers the consequences to which it must inevitably have led, if it was to prove successful, passive resistance in the Ruhr had no practical meaning unless an active front had been organised to support it. In that case a tremendous effort might have been demanded of our nation. If all the Westphalians in the Ruhr could have been assured that the home country had mobilised an army of eighty or a hundred M
divisions to support them, the French would have found themselves treading on thorns. Surely a greater number of courageous men could have been found to sacrifice themselves for a successful enterprise than for an enterprise that was manifestly futile. This was the classic occasion that induced us National Socialists to take up a resolute stand against the so-called national battle-cry. During those months I was attacked by people whose patriotism was a mixture of stupidity and humbug and who took part in the generM
al hue and cry because of the pleasant sensation they felt at being suddenly enabled to show themselves as nationalists, without thereby incurring any danger. In my estimation, this despicable united front was one of the most ridiculous phenomena imaginable, and events proved that I was right. As soon as the trade-unions had nearly filled their treasuries with Cuno
s contributions, and the moment had come for passive resistance to change over from inert defence to active aggression, the
broke out of the national sheepfold and appeared in their true light. Silently, Herr Cuno stole back to his business. Germany was richer by one experience and poorer by the loss of one great hope. Up to midsummer of that year several officers, who certainly were not the least brave and honourable of their kind, had not really believed that the course of things could take a turn that wits so humiliating. They had all hoped that
if not openly, then at least secretly
the necessary measures would be taken to make tM
his insolent French invasion a turning-point in German history.</p><blockquote><p>772</p></blockquote><p>In our ranks also there were many who counted on the intervention of the Reich Army. That conviction was so ardent that it exerted a decisive influence on the conduct and especially on the training of innumerable young men. But when the disgraceful collapse actually took place, and, after millions of German money had been spent in vain and thousands of young Germans who had been foolish enough to trust in the prM
omises made by the rulers of the Reich had been sacrificed, the Government capitulated in the most humiliating way, public indignation at such a betrayal of our unhappy nation blazed forth. Millions, of people now became fully convinced that Germany could be saved only if the whole prevailing system were destroyed root and branch. There never had been a more propitious moment for such a solution. On the one hand, an act of high treason had been committed against the country, openly and shamelessly. On the other, a M
nation was, economically speaking, delivered over to slow starvation. Since the State itself had trampled upon all precepts of faith and loyalty, made a mockery of the rights of its citizens, rendered the sacrifice of millions of its most loyal sons fruitless and robbed other millions of their last penny, it could no longer expect anything but hatred from its subjects. This hatred against those who had ruined the people and the country was bound to find an outlet in one form or another. In this connection I quote hM
ere the concluding sentence of a speech which I delivered at the great trial that took place in the spring of 1924.
Let the judges of this State condemn us for our conduct at that time; History, the goddess of a higher truth and a finer justice, will smile as she tears up their verdict and will acquit us of all guilt.
But History will then also summon before its own tribunal, those who, invested with power, have trampled on law and justice, condemning our people to misery and ruin, and who, in the hour of theM
s misfortune, took more account of their own ego than of the life of the community. I shall not here relate the history of the events leading up to November 8th, 1923, and ending with that date. I shall not do so, because I cannot see that this would serve any beneficial purpose in the future and also because no good could come of opening old sores that have only just healed.</p><blockquote><p>773</p></blockquote><p>Moreover, it would be out of place to talk about the guilt of men who, perhaps in the dM
epths of their hearts, loved their people equally well and who merely failed to take the same path or did not recognise it as the right one to take. In the face of the great misfortune which has befallen our Fatherland and which affects us all, I must abstain from offending and perhaps disuniting those men who must, at some future date, form one great united front which will be made up of true and loyal Germans and which will have to withstand the common front presented by the enemy of our people. For I know that aM
time will come when those who then treated us as enemies will venerate the men who trod the bitter way of death for the sake of their people. I have dedicated the first volume of this book to our eighteen fallen heroes. Here, at the end of this second volume, let me again, before the adherents and champions of our ideals, evoke the memory of those men as heroes who, in the full consciousness of what they were doing, sacrificed their lives for us all. They must always recall the weak and wavering to a sense of theiM
r duty that same duty which they themselves fulfilled loyally even to the making of the supreme sacrifice. I regard as one of their number that man who, as one of the best among us, devoted his life, in his works, in his philosophy and finally in action, to awakening the nation that was his and ours.</p><p>That man was DIETRICH ECKART.</p><blockquote><p>774</p></blockquote><blockquote><p>775</p></blockquote><blockquote><p>776</p></blockquote><h1 id="epilogue">EPILOGUE</h1><p>On November 9, 1923, in the fourth year M
of its existence, the National Socialist German Workers
Party was dissolved and prohibited in the whole Reich territory. To-day, in November, 1926, it stands again free before us, stronger and inwardly firmer than ever before. All the persecutions of the movement and its individual leaders, all vilifications and slanders, were powerless to harm it. The correctness of its ideas, the purity of its will, its supporters
spirit of self-sacrifice, have caused it to issue from all repressions strong than ever. If, iM
n the world of our present parliamentary corruption, it becomes more and more aware of the profoundest essence of its struggle, feels itself to be the purest embodiment of the value of race and personality and conducts itself accordingly, it will with almost mathematical certainty some day emerge victorious from its struggle. Just as Germany must inevitably win her rightful position on this earth if she is led and organized according to the same principles. A state which in this age of racial poisoning dedicates itM
self to the care of its best racial elements must some day become lord of the earth. May the adherents of our movement never forget this if ever the magnitude of the sacrifices should beguile them to an anxious comparison with the possible results.</p><blockquote><p>777</p></blockquote>h!
