Redbeard Versus Tolstoy

From The Eagle and The Serpent: A Journal of Egoistic Philosophy and Sociology. We present The Eagle and The Serpent: Why Do The Ungodly Prosper?

From No. 18 of “The Eagle and The Serpent” published in London in 1898. It is a symposium of opinions declared by some of the foremost sociological thinkers of Europe and America. It includes answers of Benjamin Kidd, Bernard Shaw, B. R. Tucker, Wm. H. Thompson, Geo J. Holyoake, Canon Scott Holland, Bertram Dobell, Prof. Thos Common (translator of Nietzsche). Aylmer Maude (translator of Tolstoy), and others including Dr. Alfred Russell Wallace, the great apostle of Natural Selection—who in later publications positively declares that modern civilization taken in its entirety is a clanking juggernaut. The arguments presented are positive and startling.

THE CULT OF EVIL.

Those who feel themselves sinking under the weight of their own altruism may take comfort from a really remarkable publication entitled “The Eagle and the Serpent: a Journal for Free Spirits and for Spirits Struggling to be Free.” It appears that several of our contemporary’s monthly parts have appeared already; but for some reason we cannot guess they have not attracted universal attention. “The Eagle and the Serpent” is devoted to the propagation of envy, malice, and all uncharitableness. The leading article is entitled, “The Divinity of Hate” and contains these remarkable words:

Violence is not necessary to hate. A calm hate is the most sincere and effectual hate. It is especially incumbent on Free Spirits, on all who desire to live their own life, to cultivate hatred of all impeding agencies, of all the parasites which suck their life-blood or steal their time. As a literary inspirer, hate holds the record—it has wrought miracles of eloquence, poesy, and song. A complete anthology of hate would include many, most, we believe, of the best inspirations of the poets and of the orators—of Shelley, of Byron, of Milton, of Mirabeau, of Danton, of Marat, of Phillips, of Ingersoll, of Aeschylus, of Heine, of Nietzsche, of Theognis. A few extracts will make clear our point. Consider the “Marseillaise.”
