Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Main Illusions of Pacificism: A Criticism of Mr. Norman Angell and of the Union of Democratic Control Though my first perusal of the Great Illusion convinced me of Mr. Angell´s great inaccuracy, yet it is only the more recent and detailed study of his works - and, still more, his evasions when put upon his defence - which have revealed his deficient sense of moral responsibility. If, however, nothing but his personal reputation were concerned, it would be a waste of time at the present moment to deal with his writings; especially since most men are agreed that there is much truth in the old ideas which form the main framework of his doctrine. But Mr. Angell has inextricably mingled these older truths with falsehoods of his own; and the practical result of his propaganda has been the encouragement in Anglo-Saxon countries of a vague and illogical anti-militarism which, on the Continent, would not be supported by half even of the Socialist party. "Norman-Angellism" (to use the title adopted by his followers themselves) does not venture to plead plainly for disarmament; yet, so far as it can be called in any sense a logical creed, its logic points in that direction. At the Angellite Summer School of 1914 one of the most prominent disciples confessed, "If we give them [i.e. the public] an impression that we are ´peace at any price´ men, and that we are going to advocate disarmament, they will not listen to us."
