Might is Right

Might is Right or The Survival of the Fittest is a first time in 1890, published under the pseudonym Ragnar Redbeard book, which represents social Darwinist ideas.

Redbeard rejects human and natural rights, and claims that only strength and physical power morals out form (see Callicles ).

The libertarian historian James J. Martin described it as " certainly one of the aufwieglerischsten works that have ever been published ."

The Satanic Bible by Anton Szandor LaVey, founder of the Church of Satan, includes, among other plagiarized passages from Might is Right.

Author

Some authors, such as the British anarchist SE Parker, the author suggests in the radical New Zealander Arthur Desmond, a prominent advocate of, conceived by Henry George single tax. Others find it difficult the political views of the two people to reconcile. Most of those who believe that Redbeard is actually Arthur Desmond, see this book as a satire.

Others suspect in Jack London the author. Just as with Desmond political difference is large, London's political activism began with membership in the Marxist Socialist Labor Party of America, and ended with the membership in the Socialist Party of America, and the majority of students in London hold this claim, Redbeard is London to be wrong. Claims of this kind, Redbeard was London, often came by Satanists; LaVey thought he was " the most likely candidates ."
