RE: THE WAR: Choosing Sides [eng/срп] РАТ: Бирање стране

This man had an excellent insight in the political movements of his time. His view looks like a perfect prediction because the plan is the same as was in his time, the methods are the same and the interests are the same.

Thank you very much for this text, and do you maybe have a link to the text in the picture?

Sort:  

I did not find a link with the above image, but I did come upon the following text in that conversation.

"Our peasantry, in spite of it's low culture, is more capable, more learned than the German or French peasantry, but it is not necessarily to be inferred from this that those nations were formed from inferior racial material, but that only by living in civilization for a longer time and in it's more intesive forms, have they been able to extract some of the best material from the people and to destroy it to a large extent."

"We are living in the era of the bankruptcy of many of the foundations on which the life of the world of our civilization was based in the last period of history. In the countries at the forefront of civilization, the existing foundations are crumbling rapidly, and one sees little creativity in the direction of bulding new ones. Rather, one see a stubbornness to save what cannot be saved."

"There have been many such moments in the history of civilized humanity. They have always been marked by certain common features, irrespective of the conditions of time and place: the decline of faith, of strong faith in anything; the decline of thought - the disappearance of creativity; the decline of taste - the domination of ugliness over beauty; the decay of moral discipline and the decline of morals; finally, the spread of various superstitions, replacing religious beliefs. All these features appear in a very pronounced way in the life of our civilization today."

"One often comes across the opinion that a modern Pole should be as little Polish as possible. Some say that in today's practical age one should think of oneself not of Poland. I am not writing this book for one or the other."

"They [the Jews] have tied their careers to modern capitalism, the development and character of which they themselves have greatly influenced, and through which they expect to achieve complete world domination."

I assume that all the above quotes were from 'Ukrainian Question' written by Roman Dmowski, but I do not know this for sure, and only know from the above image that title and that it was published in 1930.

I hope this adds utility to my above comment.
