Oswald Spengler on Pacifism - Dictionary of Arguments
Brocker I 118 Pacifism/Spengler: Spengler historically considers it necessary that between the "catastrophes full of blood and horror it repeatedly resounds [the] call for international reconciliation and peace on earth". (1) But in view of the given situation of the resurgence of primeval potential for violence, in the end the only choice left to the people of the West is between victory or defeat, not between war and peace.
