Might Is Right or The Survival of the Fittest by Ragnar Redbeard published in 1890 is another widely banned books like this. I don't suggest reading it, though I understand why and I'm okay for books such as these to collect dust. The author is a proponent of social Darwinism and justifies all actions by the strong, as war is the mother of all power. Any law, rule, or code that spoils the young, the weak, and the vulnerable is not justice, but cruelty. He looks humankind as a bare-knuckle animal. Yet, if one simple can one dimension lower to simple mathematics. In game theory, games like the Prisoner's Dilemma show that cooperation is the winning strategy, not brute force. With that said, martial arts... is the most beautiful art in existence.
Also I'm coming around the hunch that Bitcoin is the antichrist. Anyway here are some quotes from the books.
It is might against might, man against man, money against money, brain against brains, and everything to the winner.
Chinese civilization deliberately distorts its children's feet by swathing them in bandages of silk and hoop iron; Christian civilization crushes and cramps the minds of its youth by means of false philosophies, artificial moral codes, and iron-clad political creeds. Delirious sub-theories of good and evil are systematically injected into our natural literatures and gradually crystallize themselves into iron-clad formulas, invaluable constitutions, will-o'-the-wisps, evangels, and other deadly epidemics.
Modern leaders of thought are almost wholly wanting in originality and courage; their wisdom is foolishness, their remedies poison. They idiotically claim they guide the destinies of nations, whereas in reality they are but the flotsam and scum, the froth that glides smoothly down the dark stream of decadence.
If we would retain and defend our manhood, we must not permit ourselves to be forever rocked to repose with the sweet lullabies of Eastern idealism. Too long we have been hypnotized by the occult charm of Hebrew utopianism. If we continue to obey the insidious spell laid upon us, we will wake up some dread morning with the gates of hell upon earth yawning wide open, to close again upon us forever.
Nature does not love the wrongdoer, but endeavors in every possible way to destroy him. Her curse is on the brood of the meek and lowly. Her blessing is on the very heart's blood of the strong and the brave.
Only Jews and Christs and other degenerates think rejuvenation can ever come through law and prayer. Freemen should never regulate their conduct by the suggestion or dicta of others, for when they do so they are no longer free. No man ought to obey any contract, written or implied, except his will himself. He has given his personal, informal adherence thereto when in the state of mental maturity and unrestrained liberty. It is slaves that are born into contracts signed and sealed by their progenitors. The free man is born free, lives free, and dies free.
He is, even though living in artificial civilization, above all laws, all constitutions, all theories of right and wrong. He supports and defends them, of course, as long as they suit his own ends. But if they don't, then he annihilates them by the earliest and most direct method.
All threats of hell and hopes of paradise—One thing at least is certain: this life flies. One thing is certain and all the rest is lies. The flower that has once bloomed forever dies.
I deny, and I affirm, is the countersign of material freedom. I believe, and I obey, is the symbol of serfage. Belief is a flunky, a feminine. He is a creator, a master. He who denies fundamentals is triple armor-clad; indeed, he is invulnerable. On the other hand, it has been said that every belief, every philosophy has some truth in it, but so we might add, has every insanity.
Strong men are not deterred from pursuing their aim by anything. They go straight to the goal, and that goal is beauty, wealth, and material power. The mission of power is to control and exploit the powerless, for to be powerless is to be criminal.
Bravery includes every virtue; humility, every crime. He who is afraid to risk his life must never be permitted to win anything.
But courage that goes its way alone, as undauntedly as when it marches to victory or death amid the menacing stride of armed and bannered legions—courage that delights in danger, courage that proudly, defiantly smiles on death; courage that regards with equal loathing the multitudes' mad howls of hate, their stupid hee-haws, and their treacherous, tremendous applause; courage that asks no quarter, even with a knife at its throat; courage that is stiff-necked, unyielding, sullen, pitiless; courage that never falters, never retreats; courage that looks down with supreme disdain upon all slave regulations, upon all rights and wrongs, upon all good and evil—courage that has made up its mind to conquer or perish—that is the kind of courage that this world lacks. That is the kind of courage that, by active cooperation, aids the survival of the fittest, the survival of the best. That is the kind of courage that has never turned a master's mill; that is the kind of courage that never will turn it. That is the kind of courage that will die rather than turn it.
The philosophy of power has slumbered long. But whenever men of sterling worth have found it, they must again sweep away the ignoble dollar-damned pedantism of today and, openly as of old, dominate the destiny of an emancipated and all-conquering race.
All over continental Europe, there is a popular superstition that Jew rabbis steal and murder Christian infants and maidens in order to use the blood on the door lintels at Passover and other ceremonials. A similar charge was brought against the early Christians and even proved in the imperial law courts, if we are to judge by the verdicts.
The Romans first appear in history as a gang of banditti, the English as a nest of pirates, the Germans as a horde of roving freebooters, the Russians as a band of mounted horse thieves, the Americans as pious anarchists and nigger-stealers, the Australians as exiled cut-purses, the Turks as Bedouin brigands. Everywhere, symbols of kinship, tribal totems, and insignia of states speak violence, defiance, and war. Be strong and fear not, for all abstraction melts away before real strength of deed and strength of character.
Nothing succeeds like success. Do not quibble over the order of your succeeding, but succeed. Thou shalt not give thy heart to no God, for that is idiocy; neither shalt thou love thy neighbor as thyself, for that is madness. Let "Kneel or hang" be your motto, even to the death. If you fail, you are right, just, and detestable; but if you triumph, thrice blessed art thou. The great vice of our age is cowardice. Glory and honor beyond to him that wins, but a marathon be upon the head of him that fails.
Failure is not only disgrace but practical proof of organic incompetence. Power and proprietorship cover a multitude of sins, of alleged sins. The men and women, especially women, have an overflowing fund of sympathy and forgiveness for the bold, bad man if he is victorious. How women admire men of leonine resolution and eagle-like principle, how they detest cowardice, goodness, feebleness, effeminacy, failure. There is no character in history so universally applauded as the bold, bad rebel, the mighty conqueror. Readers must distinctly understand that sexual morality is nowise commanded in these pages. In all sexual relations, as in everything else, morality is what strength decrees.
Women are frail beings at the best of times and, in their secret hearts, are probably lovers of the unlimited. For the welfare of the breed and the security of descent, they must be held in thorough subjugation. Man has captured them; besides providing for and protecting them, it is necessary to keep them on the chain, as it were, for want of him, for want of them, and for want of our race. If ever these lovable creatures should break loose from mastership and become the rulers or equals of man—but that is impossible, for the earliest ancient man captured his wife by force or stratagem, and to this day, he does the same. The marriage ceremony symbolizes his proprietorship, his capture. The marriage rule is one link of a chain, emblematic of the fact that the prehistoric bridegroom chained his beloved one in a cave till she became tame, tractable, and reciprocative. The sexual degeneracy that is now so prevalent among us is the result of Christian civilization; that is to say, the demonetization of men and the equalization of woman. As long as the husband is absolute imperator within his own four walls...
