Thus a Christian opponent at Leicester assailed me as a teacher of free love, fathering on me views which were maintained in a book that I had not read, but which, before I had ever seen the National Reformer, had been reviewed in its columns as it was reviewed in other London papers and had been commended for its clear statement of the Malthusian position, but not for its contention as to free love, a theory to which Mr.
The Malthusian theory is all wrong. It's not nature, but man that is to blame." Farnum knew the little Socialist was right so far. Here in Verden, under the forms of freedom, was the very essence of slavery. All the product of labor was taken from it except enough to sustain a mere animal existence. Something was wrong in a world where a man begs in vain for work to support his family.
Against this theory of Darwin Herr Duehring urges that the origin of the idea of the struggle for existence is, as Darwin himself confessed, based on the views of the political economist and theorist, Malthus, on the population question, and he covers it with all the abuse appropriate to the clerical Malthusian views on keeping down the population.
Natural selection still exists, even if a factor of the second class, like the struggle for existence, and the clerical malthusian surplus-population theory. That is all, for the rest Herr Duehring refers us to Lamark. Finally, he warns against misuse of the terms metamorphosis and evolution.
"When the prospectus of the National Reformer was issued by the founder, Charles Bradlaugh, in 1859, he described its policy as 'Atheistic in theology, Republican in politics, and Malthusian in social economy', and a free platform was promised and has been maintained for the discussion of each of these topics. In ventilating the population question the stand taken by Mr.
The moment that we introduce the operation of human volition and activity, that, too, becomes one of the factors of "survival." The dog, the cat, and the cow live by man's will, where the wolf and the hyena have perished. But it is time that the Malthusian doctrine, the fear of over-population as a hindrance to social reform, was dismissed from consideration.
Are we confronted merely with a bear market in stocks or is it the first phase of a global contraction of the magnitude of the Great Depression? The answer overwhelmingly depends on how we understand scarcity. It will be only a mild overstatement to say that the science of economics, such as it is, revolves around the Malthusian concept of scarcity.
As a class they form an interesting illustration of what might be accomplished in the physical improvement of mankind by certain Malthusian schemes that have been at times advocated. Within a twelve-foot arena the sturdy athletes struggle for the mastery, bringing to bear all their strength and skill.
The Malthusian theory, the law of the increase of the population in geometrical, and of the means of subsistence in arithmetical proportion, and the wise and natural means of restricting the population, all these have become scientific, indubitable truths, which have not been confirmed, but which have been employed as axioms, for the erection of false theories.
The Malthusian chorus of political economists suggests the notion that a nation may be over-physical. We want health for ourselves, and healthy tendencies for our descendants. Beyond this, we want to send our surplus force to the brain. 83 Ladbroke Road, Notting Hill, London W.
