from: Hans Ulrich Wehler: Der
Aufstieg des amerikanischen Imperialismus. Vandenhoeck
& Ruprecht, Göttingen, 1974/1987.
Kidd is a financial clerk and
autodidact (p.70).
1870 appr.
"U.S.A.": Darwinism is confronted in the
"U.S.A." with orthodox protestantism
and then the bases of life of the "U.S." population are
sustainable irritated (p.70).
1873
Stock exchange crash and world wide depression
also in the "U.S.A"
With this stock exchange crash the "U.S." population is
going on being irritated concerning their bases of life.
There is not only the mental fight now between Darwinism
and orthodox Protestantism, but now also poverty and
insure life conditions with capitalism are added (p.70).
1894
Kidd: book "Social Evolution"
This book has a big echo and with one stroke Kidd
is famous (p.69-70). Kidd is a "fashion" (p.71). The book
is a bestseller in 1894 and 1895 with all in all 250,000
sold copies.
Translations into all world wide languages languages
follow (p.70) like French, Russian, Italian, Chinese,
Swedish, Danish, Czech, or Arab (p.307). Kidd can never
repeat this success (p.70).
[But his racism has spread world wide now...]
The main points of the Darwinist content of
"Social Evolution"
-- the book "Social Evolution" is a popular scientific
contribution to the latest development of evolution's
doctrines after the publications of Weismann
-- the book "Social Evolution" is brilliant by
simplification of formulas for complex procedures and the
book is transmitting new mental safety which is also
presented in the news papers, among others by critics like
Theodore D. Roosevelt, the philosopher John
Dewey, and the English left liberal John A.
Hobson (p.70)
Wehler:
"Kidd was making some few fundamental
statements which he was connecting by remarkable
persistence and variation forming one unique system with
these elements."
(original in German: "Kidd ging von wenigen fundamentalen
Behauptungen aus, die er mit bemerkenswerter Ausdauer
variierte und zu einem System zusammenzwang.")
-- Kidd is constructing a collaboration of
election and failure
-- according to Kidd the forces of life will go
down without fight for the existence
-- "Law of Life" would be fight, election and progress
-- according to Kidd the individual and the society are
fighting mutually for the existence, partly the society
wins, so the individual is becoming a little wheel
-- the religion is a help to sanction the individuals
"mentally" (p.70), this means that with Kidd the
religion is a "social tranquilizer" (p.71).
By this synthesis of biology and religion / theology Kidd
has a striking success by connecting Darwinism with the
"Christian" basics (p.71).
Darwinist political guidelines according to Kidd
-- Kidd rejects every social reform
effort
-- Kidd is approving a competition without order
which would be the lifeblood of the modern society
-- but Kidd also gets resistance against his
thesis that the religion would be only for limiting the
humans (p.71).
Darwinist imperialism theory by Kidd
-- racist Kidd represents the thesis of a "fight of
the peoples" in which the "Anglo Saxons"
would be risen
-- the "elimination" of natives, primary nations and
others should be considered as their "fate": Wehler
says about Kidd:
<Neither 'their wish nor their will would perform
certain violence to a compelling fate' so the Anglo Saxons
were 'extinguishing' their enemies as for example the
Indian tribes of North "America".>
(original in German: "Weder 'ihr Wunsch, noch ihre Absicht
übten bestimmende Gewalt auf ein unwiderstehliches
Schicksal aus', das die Angelsachsen ihre Gegner
'auslöschen' hiess, wie z.B. die Indianerstämme
Nordamerikas.")
[So the Anglo Saxon way of life of Mr. Kidd is like this:
Sorry but your fate has made me stronger so you have to
die...]
-- according to Kidd all "minor" will be
extinguished above all "concerning the area of the Anglo
Saxon civilization", and according to Kidd this is a
"justified" election process
-- "Anglo Saxons" are the strongest race of all Germanic
peoples, and they hold their positions the longest
time in the world
-- the supremacy of the "Anglo Saxons" over the
world would be "almost inevitable" (p.71) and the dwellers
on the remaining colonial territories would be
extinguished (p.72)
-- the cardinal virtue of the "Anglo Saxons" would
be the "social efficiency"
-- according to Kidd the "Anglo Saxons"
will also win the fight for tropical territories
-- the natives had a "minor social efficiency" and could
therefore never exploit the natural resources
[the normal law of natives says that Mother Earth should
not be robbed so the minerals must not be stolen from
Mother Earth...]
-- thus also the tropical areas will have to be parted
under the occidental states because they will fall to the
"world wide winner", to the best "race" which has the best
social efficiency
-- supremacy of the "Anglo Saxon states" would be a never
changing "cosmic order" (p.72)
The perspective for the "U.S.A." according to
Kidd
-- the English speaking peoples will spread in Central
and in South "America"
-- "U.S.A." will be also an overseas colonial
power (p.72).
1898
Kidd is urging for "American" overseas colonies
[After three economic crisis from 1873-1898] the
resistance in the "American" society against imperialism
in overseas territories is not big any more (p.72) because
the exportation argument counts (p.72-73).
1918
"League of Nations" with their racism cartel
-- the "League of Nations" is a cartel of the "Anglo
Saxons" respectively of the "Germanic" states with their
claim for world wide dominance
-- the "League of Nations" is a hierarchy, it's not a
cooperation of formally equal states
-- the "League of Nations" is a self-righteous claim of
supremacy of the white race [in the sense of supremacy]
(p.73).
[and with this the Second World War can be foreseen
already because any big nation wants to realize the racism
for itself, above all those nations who were the racist
main losers in 1918: Germany and Zionists...]
