by Mary W Maxwell, LLB

Ivan Ilyin’s “On Resistance to Evil by Force” (trans by K Benois) was first published in Berlin in 1925. It gives the Russian Orthodox position on, evil, which is well worth a listen.

Who Is Evil Today?

Do you remember “the fall of the wall” in 1989? The wall in Berlin that had separated East and West Germany since 1945 was occasionally breached by protestors — who were shot on sight — but by the late 1980s, Communism was collapsing, and the wall could not hold. German families were reunited. At that point, the government in Bonn that had run the western part of Germany was able to raid the Communist headquarters of the eastern part.

They found that the spy organization STASI had employed, or otherwise commanded, a full 30% of East German citizens. Many divorces followed when people learned that their spouse had worked for an evil government! I deduced from the STASI figure that 30% is probably the minimum proportion of spies and collaborators needed to keep oppressed people oppressed. Sad to say, looking around me now, I think the number of collaborators in the US is far greater than 30%.

Here’s hoping they got sucked in rather unknowingly, and would like a way out. It seems that every, and I do mean every news reporter on TV, is part of a big game. They hand out amazing lies every day, and these are lies that underpin a takeover of our government. Are such media persons, as individuals, deluded? Or have they made a choice? And what of the medical personnel who have wittingly or unwittingly contributed to the vaccine tragedy?

Quoting Ilyin’s Diagnosis of Passivity

Ilyn’s Chapter 2 is entitled “On Non-Resistance to Evil.” He writes:

“What would “non-resistance” [to evil] mean, in the sense of the absence of any resistance? This would mean accepting evil: letting it in, and giving it freedom, scope and power. If under these conditions the uprising of evil occurred, and non-resistance continued, it would mean subordination to it, a surrender of the self to it, participation in it, and finally, turning oneself into its instrument, … its plaything, an absorbed element thereof.” (p 7)

I hasten to say that I [MM] have never diagnosed anyone in this way. My stuff is usually about people being psychologically ‘in denial’ or simply being ignorant of the power schemes that have bought them out. In fact, when “defending” folks who rail against conspiracy theory, I have often diagnosed their central problem as conformity. Following the crowd is a strong controller of human behavior! It is very hard to speak out.

But let’s check out more of Ilyin’s profound analysis of human morality and immorality. He says:

“Therefore the non-resistor of evil sooner or later arrives at the need to assure himself that evil is not so bad and that it is not so definitively evil, that it has some positive features, that there are many of them, that they may even predominate…. And when aversion subsides and evil is no longer experienced as evil, then acceptance imperceptibly becomes total: the soul begins to believe that black is white, adapts to match, becomes black itself, and finds that it approves and enjoys, and, of course, this gives evil great pleasure. ” (p 8)

My Take on This

Ilyin goes on to say that “the non-resistor to evil is absorbed by it and becomes possessed.”  I honestly don’t know if Ivan Ilyin is correct. The strongest evil that I have been exposed to (but only second hand and third hand) has to do with the MK-Ultra program, and related atrocities committed by Tavistock in its search for micro-control of the human individual.

Experimenters used cruelty and terror in the way a cook might use a blender or a frying pan: “whatever works is OK.” And the persons doing it were not, I believe, chosen from a pool of psychopaths. Schoolteachers, psychologists, nurses, all participated. I am still stumped as to how they overcame their moral proclivities. Possibly Ilyin is right. Possibly the human brain takes whatever is happening and works it into a pattern of OK-ness.

(Note: the method of the lying TV reporter may differ greatly from that of the guy who turns on the electric current to torture a 3-year-old. Or maybe not?)

I reached out to buy Ilyin’s book when it was recommended by a man who is grasping with all his might to find out what’s up with the “war in Ukraine.” And, by the way, that war brings me back to the issue of the dishonest news service. Were we to understand that Rupert Murdoch and other moguls create wars by guiding public opinion deceptively, we could look with jaundiced eyes at any report in the press about “uprisings” or “coups.”

Indeed, it would be nice if Rupert said “Anything you read in my papers was written to give me and the other Big-Boy globalists a financial advantage and a reduction in your sovereignty.” We in the audience would be all set — evil would have advertised itself as evil. But oh no, these media bosses give us a parallel set of pieties: they remind us that journalists rely on facts, that our overseas interventions are humanitarian, and blah, blah, blah.

The Book’s Title: On Resistance to Evil by Force

Next, let’s get down to a part of the book “On Resistance to Evil by Force” to see what tricks the author can hand us that may stimulate real physical resistance to today’s evil-doers. (Hmm: should these tricks have been used to stop the initial success of the Bolshevik Revolution, or to get the native population of southern Africa to trip up Cecil Rhodes?) Ilyin summarizes it like this, in Chapter 21: “A strong man sees the tragedy of his situation and goes out to meet it, enter it, and eliminate it.”

But wait. You haven’t lived till you’ve read Chapter 4, “On Inducement and Violence” (which Ilyin wrote to counteract Tolstoy’s theory, popular at the time, that violence itself is the evil). The external physical action is not what matters. What matters is the state of your soul, your freedom to choose and decide.

I can’t cover the details here; Ilyin’s point is that it’s up to each person to allow or not allow herself to be induced to think or do what the other person is inducing her to do. Also, therefore, she acts wrongly if she makes someone do something unwillingly. Each sovereign person has control over his participation in evil. Ilyin writes:

“Tolstoy and his adherents see only self-coercion (‘violence over one’s own body’) and physical violence against others…. [They don’t acknowledge] the possibility of mental compulsion and mental violence towards others. Hence they reject as evil] all unnecessary and godless interference in the lives of others.” (p 28)

I ask: How about those TV reporters? How about teachers who are still naming the wrong assassin for JFK? Aren’t they performing violence on the listener’s mind?

Ilyin’s Caution about the Sword

Ilyin says: “Man finds himself compelled to help others in their struggle to stop the activities of those who have already surrendered to evil and are seeking universal destruction.” Since the word “sword” appears in the title of this chapter you would expect that he gets right down to it, and rules morally on whether you are allowed to kill. As follows:

“Fighting evil always requires heroism. Not only when it is exercised in the form of internal efforts, educating, and cultivating his spiritual wings but also in the form of a compelling and suppressing sword.” (p 194)

Note: The verb ‘to suppress’ in this book means holding activity back, such as imprisoning a person.

“Christ did not teach the sword. He taught love. But not once, not in a single word, did He condemn the sword, neither in the sense of an organized state for which the sword is the last sanction, nor in the sense of military tiles and affairs. [See] His words on the paying of taxes, and in a conversation with Pilate. … It is love that raises us to great heights: [including to] the sacrifice of life.” (pp 195-196)

 “When a person enters into conflict with villains and resorts to force, the sword, or cunning, he has [no] right to lay aside the burden of decision and responsibility and transfer this to the divine. The man who fights villains must see for himself, perceive and evaluate all the conditions… he must understand that he is forced to resort to these means….” (p 184)

 llyin’ clearest word against Tolstoy’s pacifism:

“It is impossible to impose an absolute prohibition against force and the sword for recourse to them can become morally and religiously mandatory.” (p 181)

Forgive the Sinner? More than That!

I can’t do justice to this book “On Resistance to Evil by Force.” Note: it hardly mentions law. I love to rely on law, such as my favorite High Court of Australia ruling, in Zecevic v DPP:

“The question to be asked in the end is simple. It is whether the accused believed upon reasonable grounds that it was necessary in self-defence to do what he did. If he had that belief and there were reasonable grounds for it, or if the jury is left in reasonable doubt about [it] he is entitled to an acquittal.”

Look — Ivan Ilyin goes deeper:

“If an attacker assails a ‘beloved’ person and I prefer at that moment that they be killed rather than to put myself in physical opposition to the attacker, then all my love turns out to be an example of affected grandstanding.” (p 78)

Holy cow!

Now try this, if you feel you can’t kill even the worst murderer:

“Of course justice is better and greater than injustice, but moral perfection is even greater and even better than justice. Therefore, reference to the fact that ‘execution is just punishment for the villain’ does not mean that we can wash our hands of the broader conclusion: this just penalty cannot and should not be recognized as the morally perfect way of dealing with people.” (p 179)

It’s clear that Ilyin truly believes in holiness and in your duty to help others achieve holiness. I can only recommend that you read more of the book if you are spiritually inclined. Or are open to persuasion in that area.

I admit that I cheated a bit by looking for his “justifications” for things that I want to see justified. Here he speaks of the person who is too weak to act:

“He sins in his own way, in his own way he addresses his weakness and malicious inclinations, but he takes upon himself the guilt of the villain (for he indulges him and passively abets his atrocities).” (p174)

Wow! And Ilyin also opines that when God said, “Love your enemy,” He did not mean “Love God’s enemies”! [Ahem. Psalm 139:21]

Get Lifted Up

Finally, I have to tell you that I was shocked at the extent to which this author encourages us to help the sinners to stop sinning. Just imagine how easy it could be for your Aunt Tillie to stop being afraid of 9-11 truth, if she felt she was on a mission to make life nicer for, say, Dick Cheney. By improving his character and giving him a chance at perfection. I mean it’s better than telling her that it’s her duty to whoop him.

Alternatively, you could discreetly read this passage to her:

“It is clear that the man with his back to evil, not seeing [it], cannot solve the problem because he extinguishes it in himself, relieves himself of its burden, dulls its severity and resulting anguish, and deprives himself of any right to participate in a discussion of the issue.” (p55).

It is pleasing to hear that Ilyin is the favorite philosopher of Russia’s current leader, Vladimir Putin.

    • One of the most striking things about said manual is the complete absence of any suggestion that overthrowing the Roman occupation of the day will free anyone from anything. Each and every one of Christ’s admonitions is directed toward the self-appointed religious leadership of his own tribe but he doesn’t say that putting said offenders on the gallows will solve anything either

        • Jesus could easily have secured a Worldly win; the burning question is why didn’t he?
          Why did he simply disappear into another realm ?
          Why didn’t he spare his faithful entourage from torture and death?

          • Why didn’t he rescue his own cousin John the Baptist ?

            I found the best answer on Quora from “James Hough, Catholic who teaches Catechism, RCIA, and Prayer classes”

            “Our Blessed Lord raised specific people for specific reasons. John the Baptist had already been through more than enough, there was no reason for him to continue his suffering on earth. The question assumes that it would be better to be alive on earth than in heaven, which is nonsense. This time on earth is just a short period in which we get to choose where we want to spend eternity”
            https://www.quora.com/Why-did-Jesus-not-rescue-John-the-Baptist-from-being-beheaded?share=1

            Anyone who’s hawking “christianity” whilst lacking such a focus should be given a wide berth

    • The non Israelite Edomite Judeans said –

      John 8:31–36 , 31 Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, “If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. 32 And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” 33 They answered Him, “We are Abraham’s descendants, and have never been in bondage to anyone”.

      Therefore they are Judeans but not of the tribe of Judah and not the participants of the Israelite Exodus from Egypt

  2. One thing I’ve noticed, is that the evil doer is as afraid of the law ⚖ as we people who back in the day could not distinguish legal from lawful .
    When you march in there and demand the remedy they say they offer and if it is not forthcoming, that is indeed a crime and very evident with the external elements coming into play .
    They offer remedy and justice … I say give them what they want until it hurts !!!

  3. Yet another home run, as they say, Mary

    I was first introduced to Ilyin myself by Matthew Raphael Johnson

    • Russian Nationalist Philosopher – Ivan Ilyin – Matthew Raphael Johnson

    Go to 21:23 where Johnson describes Ilyin’s take on ‘freedom’

    Johnson:
    “One of the important central concepts in Ivan Ilyin’s thinking is the definition of freedom. The word ‘freedom’ in the West has been butchered to the point where it now almost means the opposite of what it originally was meant to be. The word that we should use I think that would make better sense is ‘autonomy’ rather than freedom. In the West there’s a tendency to believe that freedom refers to the ability to do whatever you want, that there is a lack of external restraint and so it comes down to being able to act arbitrarily, having no reason to act the way you do, because there can be no causality-[…] it’s freedom to do whatever you want, and that’s somehow a good thing.”

    Another (audio):

    https://www.radioalbion.com/2021/09/the-orthodox-nationalist-ivan-ilyin-on.html

    • Only with truth can you get freedom !
      If you can not make an informed choice because the truth has been hidden, left out or has lies obscuring it .
      Truth also come’s with accountability, as to whether he/she decides to act on it in a moral manner.
      There comes a point where it takes two to lie … there is far less accountability if you are willing to have no real interest in the truth and have others determine what the truth is . Whether the many we see are actively doing evil or give it a pass . What they are really frightened of is the acountability I would suggest .

  5. A couple more passages from Ilyin:

    “And it is natural that from non-resistance evil passion expands its dominance to fullness: chunks of passion, already ennobled, discard their garments of nobility and pour into a common rebellion; they no longer hold the line and barricade, but they themselves indulge in the former enemy and embrace evil with vivacity. The evil obsession becomes total and draws the soul on its own paths, according to its own laws. Obsessed with an evil passion, the non-resistor runs rampant because he himself has rejected all that restrains, directs and formulates: all his non-resisting force becomes the power of the most thunderous evil, and the breath of death feeds upon the cruelty of a most helpless demise. This is why the end of his frenzy is the end of his psyche and bodily existence: insanity or death.
    […]
    Such a decomposition of spirituality in the soul may emerge in a weak person in adulthood, but it can also begin in childhood …
    […]
    A person who has been spiritually defective since childhood can even develop in himself a special mental structure, which, if superficially observed, can be mistaken for “character”, and special viewpoints that are then mistaken for “beliefs”.

    In fact, he being unprincipled and spineless, remains always a slave to his bad passions, a prisoner of elaborate mental mechanisms that possess him and reign all-powerful in his life, devoid of spiritual dimension and divining the contours of his disgusting behaviour. He does not resist his evil obsession as “will”, his instinctive scheming as “the mind”, the impulses of his evil passions as “feelings”.

    Wrapping himself in anti-spiritual passions, he pronounces his nature in a corresponding anti-spiritual “ideology”, in which radical and comprehensiveness godlessness merges with his own excruciating sickness of the heart and complete moral idiocy.

    Naturally, spiritually healthy people cause such a person only irritation and anger, and foment in his sick love for power, in the manifestations of which flashes of megalomania inevitably alternate with outbursts of maniacal persecution.”

    And from page 195

    “The fate of man is, in his life on earth, to confront the outbreak of uninvited evil. It is impossible to avoid this fate; and thus there are only two possibilities: either to be dishonourable and turn away from this struggle, to dishonourably live through it by both blindness and cowardice, or the honourable path of accepting it, comprehending this acceptance as a service and remaining faithful to its vocation.“

    • That last paragraph is fantastic, Julius. But as for this one, I think it may contain great insight into the workings of the evolved animal brain:

      “And it is natural that from non-resistance evil passion expands its dominance to fullness: chunks of passion, already ennobled, discard their garments of nobility and pour into a common rebellion; they no longer hold the line and barricade, but they themselves indulge in the former enemy and embrace evil with vivacity.”

  7. Almost off topic – Just a minor anecdote … re those “lying [TV] reporters”

    “Coward Chinese Leader Xi Has His Predecessor Hu Jintao Removed from CCP Summit on Live TV – VIDEO”

    https://nworeport.me/2022/10/22/coward-chinese-leader-xi-has-his-predecessor-hu-jintao-removed-from-ccp-summit-on-live-tv-video/

    This headline was a real attention grabber, so I dived in to watch the video – maybe I have been missing something and here is the smoking gun!

    After watching the video, my interpretation is completely the opposite – it appears that Hu Jintao may have been having some sort of ‘fainting’ spell/medical condition.

    Xi Jinping appears to be very understanding, supportive and gentle in assisting Hu Jintao away from the centre of the forum.

    Xi did not appear “cowardly” and did not “have” his predecessor removed [I imagined a horde of armed militia] – he ushered and guided him gently and patiently, and his voice (“words exchanged”) sounded very comforting and reassuring.

    So much for the credibility of that NWO Report site and its sources.

  10. 1 Peter 3:14
    But even if you should suffer for righteousness’ sake, you are blessed. “And do not be afraid of their threats, nor be troubled.”

    Isaiah 33:6
    And He will be the stability of your times,
    A wealth of salvation, wisdom and knowledge;
    The fear of the Lord is his treasure.

    Proverbs 8:13
    “The fear of the Lord is to hate evil;
    Pride and arrogance and the evil way
    And the perverted mouth, I hate.

    Exodus 20:20
    Moses said to the people, “Do not be afraid; for God has come in order to test you, and in order that the fear of Him may remain with you, so that you may not sin.”

  12. From Michael Yeadon, at Globalresearch.ca:

    Many have asked why people didn’t resist tyrants in the past. Partly it is fear. But it’s more than that. It’s that normal people, like you and me, simply cannot imagine being so evil. We trust in humanity. And so we should. Most people are good. Few are truly terrifyingly horrible. But some are. It’s the inability to believe it’s happening that really stopped people objecting when they should, when the evidence was unmistakable but had not yet quite reached their door, their family.

    They are coming for you and your children. It is happening again. There’s ample evidence emerging of long-term, patient planning. I’m so sorry

  13. According to the dogmas of “evolutionary biology” the only “sin” or “evil” is to fail to prevail. According to those same dogmatic premises such abstractions as truth, virtue, reality, etc. are inventions of convenience that are still “evolving” or “becoming” according to a dialectic of competition heading for an indeterminate and unreachable “Omega Point”.

    Some of our “more advanced” New Age gurus have thrown off the pretence of the notion of a transcendent and universal morality and reality based on a reasonable premise that there is a nature and purpose for all changeable (movable, according to classic philosophical terminology), contingent (that do not exist of themselves, by themselves), things.

    The insane narcissists who are pushing for a “New World Order” and a fundamental “Great Reset” of the very meaning of nature and purpose (reality) have taken the notion of “evolutionary biology” to its rational conclusion; to “be as gods”.

    Nonsense. Whatever leads Klaussie-boy to his thoughts, I don’t know, but “to be as gods” sure ain’t no “rational conclusion of evolutionary biology.”

    Nevertheless, Old David, it is interesting to imagine that Schwab’s personal, mammalian selfishness has gone to such heights that he forgets the survival of the whole pack, on whose survival he depends.

    and the strength of the wolf is…. the pack.

    • [quote MM] Nonsense. Biology — “the study of life” — does not have dogmas. It is a science.[/quote]

      I think we’ve had a gutsful of “trust the (settled) science” that has no connection to observed phenomenons. Your blardy “science” is nothing more than a speculative ideology based on the premise that a primordial Nothing can turn itself into Everything with the simple addition of incomprehensible time.

      Consider this. If one raindrop in one year would shift one grain of sand one millimetre downhill the grain of sand would move 1 metre in a thousand years, and 1 kilometre in a million years.

      It is measured that the solid rock of Mt Everest is eroding at the rate of about 200 mm in a hundred years. At that rate it will be entirely levelled in far less time than “Evolution” dogma claims it took for a monkey to turn into a Man. In fact, in that sort of time frame the whole Earth would be flat and underwater seeing as how the ocean trenches could hold all the mountains on land with volume to spare.

      Look! I could go on about all the claims of “evolutionary biology” that have nothing but ideological prejudice and carefully censored and interpreted “discoveries” to sell it.

      Rationalism, no matter how cunningly it is sold, is not science. Science starts with an observation and seeks to discover how and why such a thing might be. Rationalism starts with an ideological objective and seeks plausible excuses to “justify” the assumption.

  20. Democracy, the Most Dangerous Religion: Part 1

    https://www.greanvillepost.com/2022/10/22/democracy-the-most-dangerous-religion-part-1/

    The cult of fake democracy and chauvinism are inseparable from the equally pernicious belief in US exceptionalism.

    Having been raised in a Western democratic political environment, Americans (and yes, others as well, but most especially Americans) have been by design infused from birth with a conviction that some form of a multi-party electoral system – which we can loosely term “democracy” – is, even with the occasional flaw, the right way, the only way, the way God intended when He designed the Universe. It is not unfair to state that Americans generally believe – because this is what they have been taught since birth – that all nations aspire to their superior and enlightened form of government and that, as these nations develop, they will naturally gravitate toward that which Americans hold to be true – that “democracy“, however defined, is a “universal value” because it represents the pinnacle of civilisation. Indeed, “democracy” is very often presented as a reflection of “the yearnings of all mankind“. But these opinions and convictions appear for the most part to be unexamined positions, seemingly never having been openly challenged or even discussed, positions which, through generations of intense and incessant propaganda reinforcement have obtained the status of revealed religious truths which cannot be questioned because they are by nature not questionable. I have covered in detail the propaganda myths and tactics leading to this situation, in a series of articles in an E-book titled Bernays and Propaganda. It contains all the necessary references and would be worth your time to read and understand how deeply this has permeated into American society.[1]

    The false propaganda campaign to insinuate the theology of democracy into the American psyche began in the early 1900s with Edward Bernays and WalterLippmann, two Jews taking instruction from a Rothschild and the City of London. Lippman and Bernays wrote of their open contempt for a “malleable and hopelessly ill-informed public” in America. Lippmann had already written that the people in a democracy were simply “a bewildered herd” of “ignorant and meddlesome outsiders” who should be maintained only as “interested spectators”, to be controlled by the (Jewish) “secret government”. They concluded that in a multi-party electoral system (a democracy), public opinion had to be “created by an organized intelligence” and “engineered by an invisible government”, with the people relegated to the status of uninformed observers, a situation that has existed without interruption in the US for the past 95 years. “The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country.”[2]……….”

    • Democracy is for those who are citizens. Slaves cannot vote. That is the gift of the Greeks. Timeo etc etc! Deimocracy is governance by panic ….

      More important is Res Publica? Letting even the slaves, in debt servitude due to their emotional immaturity, know what policy changes are being considered enables more feedback of the gentle kind, not the revolt kind. Republicn government should inform, even in a false democracy. Allowing those who can control the media to spread fear and panic, Deimos, Phobos, is not a Res Publica!

    • I think we can safely assume that the bully-boys of the Synagogue of a “New, Improved Everything” wouldn’t be imposing “democracy” all over everywhere if it didn’t suit their purpose.

      • Duopoly democracy perfects the public image, and protects the actual ruler, who is then free to do and organise anything.
        The public is satisfied it can throw out the old party and go in a new direction. Others, unsatisfied, have nobody to blame, and have to wait for next time around.
        No further input is required from anybody until next time round.
        When I was teenage a friend said to me, the difference between our system and communism is that they have one party and we have two.

  21. Caste systems can work, but only if nepotism is rejected by systemic inspection.

    Otherwise we end up with Hinduism. Those who make the most money run the joint. This may sound familiar. The West is becoming Greater India? Inequality is becoming a feature, not a bug.

  22. Since it is still very topical …

    Excerpt:

    • Xi Jinping – report to China’s 2022 party congress

    “The theme of this Congress is holding high the great banner of socialism with Chinese characteristics, fully implementing the Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, carrying forward the great founding spirit of the Party, staying confident and building strength, upholding fundamental principles and breaking new ground, forging ahead with enterprise and fortitude, and striving in unity to build a modern socialist country in all respects and advance the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation on all fronts.

    Our Party has dedicated itself to achieving lasting greatness for the Chinese nation and committed itself to the noble cause of peace and development for humanity.”

    • Xi Jinping – “China’s Commitment to Peaceful Development”, March 28, 2014 (from “The Governance of China”, starting at page 291)

    “Let me take this opportunity to share with you China’s reform and development, focusing on its commitment to peaceful development. I hope this will help your understanding of our country.

    Long ago, China made the solemn declaration to the world that it is committed to pursuing peaceful development. It has developed itself by upholding world peace and maintained world peace through development. Pursuing peaceful development is China’s response to international concern about the direction it is taking.”

    Once again the parallels are exquisite:

    • Adolf Hitler – radio broadcast Berlin, October 14, 1933

    “We have put an end to denial of God and abuse of religion. We owe Providence humble gratitude for not allowing us to lose our battle against the misery of unemployment and for the salvation of the German peasant. In the course of a program, for the implementation of which we calculated four years, of a total of six million unemployed, more than two and a quarter million have once again been made part of the useful process of production within scarcely eight months.

    The best witness for this tremendous accomplishment is the German Volk itself.

    It will prove to the world how strongly it stands behind a regime which knows no aim other than, with acts of peaceful labor and civilized culture, to make a contribution toward rebuilding a world which today is spiritually unhappy.”

    • Adolf Hitler – speech in Regensburg – June 6, 1937

    “The German Volk is not a Volk that suddenly starts a war today or tomorrow. The German is not only peaceful and peace-loving in his entire being, but above all peaceable. He wants to work.

    In our country there are millions of peasants who want to till their fields and harvest their crops; millions of workers want to pursue their work. This Volk does not want to quarrel, but it equally does not want others to look for a quarrel with it. It wants only its right to live-though, mind you, it does not stand for insult or attack from just anyone who comes along. And to anyone who believes that, since the German Volk is so peace-loving, he can drop bombs on German ships underway on international assignments [in 1937], we will demonstrate that we know how to defend ourselves.“

  23. I’ve not read the whole thing, Julius, but I want to make the comment that “Chairman Mao” was entirely “inspired” by the ideologies emanating from middle-eastern Europe and the Sabbatean Frankist school; nothing from Chinese cultural traditions.

  25. Great article and great philiosopher.

    He is right of course and remember that Jesus used violence to expel the merchants from the temple.

    Facing the evil we face today, the criminals, psychopaths and mass murderers (they were in Davos last week) , we have no choice but defend our lives against them.

    It is them or us. It’s survival. And they are the devil’s servants.
