militarism

• nationalistic m. in conflict with industrialism

70:2.11The na­tions of Uran­tia have al­ready en­tered upon the gi­gan­tic strug­gle be­tween na­tion­al­is­tic mil­i­tarism and in­dus­tri­al­ism, and in many ways this con­flict is anal­o­gous to the age­long strug­gle be­tween the herder-hunter and the farmer. But if in­dus­tri­al­ism is to tri­umph over mil­i­tarism, it must avoid the dan­gers which be­set it. The per­ils of bud­ding in­dus­try on Uran­tia are:

• autocratic and cruel; disintegrates vanquished

70:2.18Mil­i­tarism is au­to­cratic and cruel—sav­age. It pro­motes so­cial or­ga­ni­za­tion among the con­querors but dis­in­te­grates the van­quished. In­dus­tri­al­ism is more civ­i­lized and should be so car­ried on as to pro­mote ini­tia­tive and to en­cour­age in­di­vid­u­al­ism. So­ci­ety should in ev­ery way pos­si­ble fos­ter orig­i­nal­ity.

• woman’s social position varied inversely with degree of

84:5.3The mod­ern idea of sex equal­ity is beau­ti­ful and wor­thy of an ex­pand­ing civ­i­liza­tion, but it is not found in na­ture. When might is right, man lords it over woman; when more jus­tice, peace, and fair­ness pre­vail, she grad­u­ally emerges from slav­ery and ob­scu­rity. Woman’s so­cial po­si­tion has gen­er­ally var­ied in­versely with the de­gree of mil­i­tarism in any na­tion or age.
