The Revolt Against Civilization: The Menace Of The Under Man - Paperback

by Lothrop Stoddard (Author)

The revolutionary unrest that today afflicts the entire world goes far deeper than is generally supposed. Its root cause is a process of racial impoverishment, which destroyed the great civilizations of the past and which threatens to destroy our own.

This grim blight of civilized society has been correctly diagnosed only in recent years. The momentous biological discoveries of the past generation have revealed the true workings of those mysterious laws of life on which, in the last analysis, all human activity depends.

In the light of these biological discoveries, confirmed and amplified by investigations in other fields of science, especially psychology, all political and social problems need to be re-examined. Such a re-examination of one of these problems-the problem of social revolution-has been attempted in this book.

The decline in civilization, standards, education, health, and outcomes everywhere, has probably reached a state of no return and will only continue at a greater pace. If that is the case, and nothing is done to reverse it while

still possible, one realizes we will see the end of Western civilization with all its glory and vast achievements and the calamity that will be unleashed on our children and theirs as this new "civilization" devours the old.
