Whether Nietzsche himself would have held that the Prussian idea of culture and civilization, and the Prussian means of making them prevail, were right or wrong, may be a question. But there is no question that it is largely owing to him that these Prussian ideas and means have found suitable soil to prosper in, and have produced the monstrous abortion now facing us. I have tried to suggest to you what Prussianism means, and what our fight with it means. As I said at the outset, 14 ART, MORALS,... AND THE WAR this war is a war of Ideals, a war over irreconcilable principles as to what human civilization means. The truth is, we are at fight not against Flesh and Blood, but against spiritual Principalities and Powers. We are at fight not to acquire territory and power, not even merely to defend our own territory and power, and the territory and power of our aUies. We are at fight to prevent the lowest and most inhuman conception of civihzation gaining dominance to corrupt mankind. With whatever limitations present or to come of human weakness, we are at fight to assert our behef in Right- eousness and Human Brotherhood, and our consequent belief that the idea of the supremacy of material Might, with its inevitable insidious accompaniment of fraud and cruelty, as a basis of civilization is an idea foul and damnable, an idea that must be utterly discredited and swept once and for all out of the consideration of even the most ill-informed, ill-regulated mind.
