Socialists made eugenics fashionable
- Text size
Michael Coren / National Post | June 17, 2008
An exhibition of the history of those scientific ideas that gave a grimy intellectual veneer to the Nazi genocide opened recently at the Canadian War Museum in Ottawa. The collection centres on eugenics, the notion that humanity can be improved and perfected by selective breeding and the elimination of individuals and groups considered to be undesirable. Entitled Deadly Medicine: Creating the Master Race, it reveals how it was not thoughtless right-wing thugs as much as writers and scientists, the intellectual elite, who led the movement.

| George Bernard Shaw | |
|
The exhibit is important, accurate but, regrettably, long overdue. It also fails to stress just how much the socialist left initiated and supported the eugenics campaign, not only in Germany but in Britain, the U. S. and the rest of Europe. Playwright George Bernard Shaw, English social democrat leader Sydney Webb and, in Canada, Tommy Douglas were just three influential socialists who called, for example, for the mass sterilization of the handicapped. In his Master’s thesis The Problems of the Subnormal Family, the now revered Douglas argued that the mentally and even physically disabled should be sterilized and sent to camps so as not to "infect" the rest of the population.
It is deeply significant that few if any of Douglas’s left-wing comrades in this country or internationally were surprised or offended by his proposals. Indeed the early fascism of 1920s Italy, while unsavoury and dictatorial, had little connection with social engineering and eugenics. The latter German version of fascism was influenced not by ultra conservatism in southern Europe but, as is made clear in the writings of the Nazi ideologues, by the Marxist left.

| H.G. Wells | |
The most vociferous and outspoken of the socialist eugenicists was the novelist H. G. Wells, author of The Time Machine, The War of the Worlds and The Invisible Man. He argued in best-selling books such as Anticipations and A Modern Utopia that the world would collapse and from this collapse a new order should and would emerge.
"People throughout the world whose minds were adapted to the big-scale conditions of the new time. A naturally and informally organised educated class, an unprecedented sort of people." A strict social order would be formed. At the bottom of it were the base. These were "people who had given evidence of a strong anti-social disposition", including "the black, the brown, the swarthy, the yellow." Christians would also "have to go" as well as the handicapped. Wells devoted entire pamphlets to the need of "preventing the birth, preventing the procreation or preventing the existence" of the mentally and physically handicapped. "This thing, this euthanasia of the weak and the sensual is possible. I have little or no doubt that in the future it will be planned and achieved."
The people of Africa and Asia, he said, simply could never find a place in a modern world controlled by science. Better to do away with the lot. "I take it they will have to go" he said of them. Marriage as it is known would have to end but couples could form mutually agreed unions. They would list their "desires, diseases, needs" on little cards and a central authority would decide who was fitted for whom.
Population would be rigidly controlled, with forced abortion for those who were not of the right class and race. Religion would be banned, children would be raised in communes and all would be well. The old and the ill would, naturally, have to be done away with and doctors would be given the authority to decide who had a right to live, who had a duty to die.

| Margaret Sanger | |
|
In the United States socialist writer Margaret Sanger, the founder of Planned Parenthood and the mother of the abortion movement, called for a radical eugenics approach as early as the first years of the 20th century. She wrote of the need for "a stern and rigid policy of sterilization and segregation to that grade of population whose progeny is already tainted or whose inheritance is such that objectionable traits may be transmitted to offspring. It is a vicious cycle; ignorance breeds poverty and poverty breeds ignorance. There is only one cure for both, and that is to stop breeding these things. Stop bringing to birth children whose inheritance cannot be one of health or intelligence. Stop bringing into the world children whose parents cannot provide for them. Herein lies the key of civilization."
The key of civilization. Unlocking the doors of a hell once unimaginable but now, after the Holocaust, the Ukrainian genocide, Pol Pot and Mao’s mass slaughter, entirely within the grasp of contemporary sensibilities. History is often clouded by fashion and the whims of the victorious. Because some of the most pernicious intellectual criminals of the past century wore red they have escaped condemnation. It is time for the clouds to clear and the fashions to change.

OH NOES!@!!!!@$# THEMZ SOSHALIST PLINKOS R GONNA KILL MY BABEEZ!
Nearly everyone believed in eugenics back then. Progressives and conservatives. Come on… The fad is over. Unless you’re racist, or a frequent Bilderberg visitor.

If only the tools of evil could be used against evil. The poor and weak and feeble-minded is not the problem. It’s killers and conquerors. THEY should be euthanized.

The question is, who has the databases? In Nazi Germany IBM was the company keeping family records. Some folks say ACS is keeping records here, and there are also profiling firms (much like political consultants) to target and destroy troublesome “non-compliant” individuals. The “privatization” of government makes it possible for wealthy fascists to cover up and conceal the worst of crimes. In some areas now they’re even holding public records and demanding court orders or subpoenas to deliver……
This is frightening … particularly if the concealed records could expose criminal collusion or conspiracy at higher levels… OR, if the records might exonerate someone wrongfully imprisoned.
Another interesting piece of information is that “CCH” a company which compiles our laws and publishes the tax/law books, is owned by a foreign company in the Netherlands, and it is called a “compliant service business”…. At the site, they reference “compliance” as their business.
It goes on and on, as the water supply in Lexington Kentucky is owned by Germans “Kentucky American” and many other large cities are beholden to pay their water bills each month to foreign companies. If we sell our utilities, water supply and farm land to foreigners, and send American jobs overseas to enrich the Facists at the top of these companies… what’s left for our children?
What is CONGRESS doing? Investing with the Global Fascists? Seems that way.

Sheeples;
The movement is alive and well and even exists in the “truth movement” — Christian Idenity. White people are only going to heaven.
Acts 10
34″: Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons:
“35″: But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him.
d well and even exists in the “truth movement” — Christian Idenity. White people are only going to heaven.

Sheeples – adequate name.
Not nearly everyone believed in Eugenics, mate – maybe you mean everyone who could record their opinion? You can’t notice eugenics NOW because the very fabric of it is weaved through the structure of human existence in post-industrial nations. It’s simple – like Moshun Man’s song “Terrorist”, They’re going after EVERYBODY. We are all in need of dying, it doesn’t matter who it is, if they are profane they need to go. So it’s in the food, the vaccinations, the skies, the water – and soon to be the ‘food shortages’ and ‘fuel crisis’ so no-one can get strong or travel anywhere – before a virus or series of viruses are released and then the quarrentined will be nuked.
Look, it’s not so easy for us to see in our Anglo-empirical nations like the (soon to be next year) North America Union, Oz, UK, NZ, and Japan and Western Europe. Of course we aren’t going to take notice until we are tagged and bagged – until that Orwellian boot starts stomping on our head. We’re just too dumbed down. As long as it’s happening to someone else in some other country it doesn’t REALLY matter. Well we’re GLOBAL, remember? we are all going to become one world and it’s going to be lovely and peaceful with super high-tech living. After 93% of us leave. The Africans and South Americans, the Chinese and many others have been killed off by their millions for decades and we have through media become used to it, just like on Tv in the ex-united states they got people used to seeing black men get shot. f---ers. The genocide even happened in EUROPE, remember? The French “Revolution”? The “Holocaust”? These guys are all the same psychopaths who have their non-elected institutions in ever nation!!! There are no such things as countries anymore, there hasn’t been since the UN (ONE world government) came along. It’s not some benevolent Big Brother, just read their treaties and 21st century agenda. Our societies have been deeply engineered, so much that we can’t notice it and we have no idea even HOW we came to most of our opinions. Using weather manipulation techniques (yes, they’ve been in use since the 40s and maybe much longer) just read the UN treaty on weather warfare from 1976 – using these techniques it is possible to seed clouds, create droughts (probably over any period), enlarge hurricanes and make earthquakes occur. You just have to ask yourself not IF the recent decades weather has been manipulated but WHEN. Everything’s f---ing surreal guys, just learn as much as you can and if you survive through the decades of riots predicted by the UK DOD, or the hundred years war, then you will be able to teach something to the children.

Interesting how #4 has self promoted himself to the position of Jesus in his thinking only white people are going to Heaven. Jesus taught his Father’s Spiritual Kingdom, and that the Kingdom is upon the earth, but you have to seek & find the Kingdom.
Interesting that Jesus told his followers not to be like you Gentiles nor chase after in this world what you Gentiles chase after which is mostly money & materialism even though Jesus railed againt the rich constantly.
Who are you trying B.S. If Jesus came back to earth in the flesh you’d be first in line to kill him.

Whenever I meet someone sympathetic to Eugenics, they always assume an undeserved air of entitlement. “We must do away with the green starred Sneetches!” Hate to break it to you ,scooter- your going down to.
June 21st, 2008 at 7:01 am
Notice the people who advocate this stuff are the most pathetic physical specimens themselves? My daughter could beat up H.G. Wells

huzzah to the brave curator of the exhibit. high time the smash the idols of psudo-intellectuals.
June 21st, 2008 at 10:50 am
Welcome to the new world order of eugenics, death, meyhem and control! You are the test subjects for their methodology and research to see if you can withstand the mass of chemicals and if you die…oh well, you are just another statistic in their big scheme of things.
When America instructed Hitler on the program of eugenics, nobody knew that the program would ultimately be utilized on the Americans.
Those who refuse to learn from history are condemned to repeat it……..But now there is no history taught in American schools so history will inevitably be repeated!!!!!!!!

Better that the exhibition be overdue than never be at all. Especially important is the exposure of Sanger, who is taught as a hero and champion of women’s rights when she in fact was an enemy of most of humanity.
So long as the people at large refuse to abandon the left/right paradigm, they need to be made aware that the worst offenses and atrocities committed against humanity come not from the much maligned right, but from the radical left, wrapped in the paper of “the public good” and tied with the ribbon of “prosperity”

Shadow.
Sorry !! What I was trying to say is that the Eugenics movement is alive and well. I’m disgusted with the Christian Identiy Movement and just mentioned that I dug into “Anoter untold story” and ended up linking to a bunch of guys armed to the teeth preaching salvation to the white people. I don’t think that Infowars sponsor “Another untold story” is that bad but he does seem to think the saved are only here in Noth America.
That’s why I posted the Bible verse that said:
Acts 10
34″: Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons:
“35″: But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him.

Reeferkeefer—-It’s been war for a hundred years or so…but we have just been fed so many lies for so long that we just recently realized it and are now just beginning to wake up and gather our strength for the astronomical battle that is coming at a frightening pace.

Well said, Shiranami. These Satanic spores are on auto self-destruct mode and apparently nothing short of Mystical intervention’s going to veer them off course. They really think and believe they create a better world by destroying it. That’s the same sick philosophical, mis-applied scientific twisted thinking that KILLS lab rats to see what make them live. DUH!

Sanger’s eugenics proposals were certainly ethically and realistically questionable. However, I was glad Planned Parenthood existed when I was a teenager. They made it possible to obtain birth control pills when I was 17 years old, without my parents’ permission. This gave me the ability to be intimate with my boyfriend without getting pregnant with an unwanted child. I have never wanted to have a child, I still don’t, I’ve never gotten pregnant–and I’ve never had an abortion. All thanks to a combination of birth control, condoms, rhythm method, long periods of abstinence and luck (because no birth control method alone is 100% effective). Not having a child has allowed me the time, energy, and money to pursue art, writing, and political and community activism.

Julie, julie,
“Not having a child has allowed me the time, energy, and money to pursue art, writing, and political and community activism.”
There you go with that phony dual mindset. Having children means more success in activism, not less. Art is mostly narcissism, so unless you appreciate Dada, Pollack, Dali, Mondrian, Debussy, Art of Noise you ain’t seen art. Heck you could have several artists in the house helping you.
Don’t you get it? The anti-child movement is meant to weaken you and isolate you. You could have activist grandchildren. I know I will. As for intimacy… nobody who is awake on fire says “be intimate”, they say make love. Even your language is stilted and castrated.
C’mon the family is the BIGGEST competitor to the New World Order.
June 22nd, 2008 at 9:10 am
the ONLY GOOD reason NOT to have children is because you wouldnt want to bring a helpless child onto this god damned hell hole of a world we live on that has been at war EVER since man was made,make no mistakes about it we live in a world at war,and there will always be a war,it makes me sick to know that they kill off the poor like they do,RICH INBREEDING with themselves,f---ing sick and twisted mutha f---ers,who will they sterilize after everyone is dead?
June 22nd, 2008 at 9:11 am
i still want to s--- and PISS on smug little rich bitches graves,

This reminds me of that episode of “The Twilight Zone” where everyone looked like pig creatures, and were all basically the same.
