Strong forces work to create a world very different from that which most people want.

We have seen genocide, which had happened before, conducted massively by a supposedly civilized country. We have seen terror used both to maintain systemsand to change them. We have observed and experienced increasing attacks and restrictions on anything that approximates freedom. Many attempts based upon established political assumptions and policies to solve these problems have been made. Nevertheless, we have not moved significantly toward their resolution. The future prospects in these areas can give us little comfort. The dangers are likely to continue to increase in the coming years. What is happening to the technological capacity of modern weaponry is scarcely imaginable. Futuredictators will have far greater means at their disposal for controlling human societies and individuals than did Hitler and Stalin, for example. The technical capacity to kill off people en masse is even now much more developed than the means that Hitler’s henchmen had.1 These problems have become even more serious as the institutionalized and
