Thomas C. Leonard
Illiberal Reformers: Race, Eugenics & American Economics in the Progressive Era
Princeton: Princeton University Press, 2016

Capitalism, Socialism, & Dysgenics

Jack London

Evgenii Vuchetich, We Shall Beat Our Swords Into Plowshares, 1957

3,775 words

Editor’s Note:

The following text is Jack London’s essay “Wanted: A New Law of Development,” from his book The War of the Classes (1905). The subject of this essay is eugenics and dysgenics, although London does not use those words. So one can better follow his argument, I have edited out passages where he adduces example after example from the news of the day.

Evolution is no longer a mere tentative hypothesis. Read more …

El Filósofo está dentro
Fuerza y Derecho

Greg Johnson

Albrecht Dürer, hombres salvajes de los paneles del Retrato de Oswald Krell, 1499

624 words

English original here

Nota del Traductor:

“Might is Right” se conoce generalmente como “la ley del más fuerte”, pero por una cuestión de concordancia traducimos “como fuerza y derecho”.

Un lector me preguntó mis pensamientos sobre la relación entre la fuerza y el derecho. (Dicho sea de paso, yo soy feliz de responder cuestiones filosóficas).

The Philosopher is In
Might & Right

Greg Johnson

Albrecht Dürer, wild men from the side panels of the Portrait of Oswald Krell, 1499

524 words

Spanish translation here

A reader has asked me for my thoughts on the relationship between might and rights. (By the way, I am happy to entertain philosophical questions.)

What are rights? Rights are principles defining political freedoms and obligations. If rights are political, what makes rights “natural” as opposed to conventional? What makes rights natural is an argument deriving them from human nature. Thus natural rights are socially instituted, protected, and enforced freedoms and obligations that are rationally grounded in nature, Read more …

The Protean writer who mixed racism with socialism
Jack London

Anonymous

1,572 words

“There never was a good biography of a good novelist,” F. Scott Fitzgerald once observed. “He is too many people, if he’s any good.” This dictum holds particularly true in the case of Jack London (1876–1916). For biographers and critics as well, he is the most elusive of subjects. As a person, as a writer, and most of all as a man of ideas, he continually takes on different and sharply contrasting forms.

Ragnar Redbeard’s Might Is Right or the Survival of the Fittest

Anthony Hilton

3,035 words

From The Occidental Observer, September 29, 2009

Note: In biology, “adaptive” means (very precisely) promoting the survival and reproduction of an organism’s genes. “Natural selection” is the logical and empirical process whereby forces of nature affect the survival and reproduction of some genes over others. The terms, “natural selection” and “selection pressures” (particular causes of selection) help one think clearly.
