Title: Imperialism and Slavery Post by: three_sixty on October 26, 2006, 05:24:52 PM http://praxeology.net/HS-FC-24.htm (http://praxeology.net/HS-FC-24.htm)
"So long as the passion for mastery overrides all others the slavery that goes along with Imperialism will be tolerated. Among men who do not pride themselves on the possession of purely human traits, but on the possession of traits which they have in common withy brutes, and in whose mouths “bull-dog courage” is equivalent to manhood – among people who take their point of honour from the prize-ring, in which the combatant submits to pain, injury, and risk of death, in the determination to prove himself “the better man,” no deterrent considerations like the above will have any weight. So long as they continue to conquer other peoples and to hold them in subjection, they will readily merge their personal liberties in the power of the State, and hereafter as heretofore accept the slavery that goes along with Imperialism." |
