IN WHICH 'all fixed, fast-frozen relations, are swept away... All that is solid melts into air,
all that is holy is profaned!'
The 19th century's most sensitive minds,
from Kierkegaard to Ruskin, recoiled from such modernization, though they
did not always acknowledge its darker side: rapacious colonialism and savage wars in Asia & Africa, the institutionalization
of prejudices like anti-Semitism, and the widespread terror, aggravated by pseudo-science,
of what Theodore Roosevelt called
'RACE SUICIDE'!
In the late 19th century,
European & Japanese ruling classes
began to respond to the damage & disruptions of the world market
by exhorting unity in the face of internal & external threats, creating new fables of ethnic & religious solidarity, and deploying
militaristic nationalism in what they claimed wàs a struggle for existence. In the first half of the 20th century
it wasn't just Nazis & Fascists who embraced, while frenziedly modernizing, the theories
of Social Darwinism! Support for them extended across
Europe & America, and among
the educated and aspiring
classes of Turkey,
India &
China!
