The character structure of modern man, who reproduces a six-thousand-year-old patriarchal authoritarian culture is typified by characterological armoring against his inner nature and against the social misery which surrounds him.

It follows of necessity from this responsibility that the working masses of men and women, they and they alone, are capable of establishing lasting peace.
