In Point Of Fact There Are A Certain Number Of Values And Of Forces Which Are Of Decisive Importance In Our World Civilization: The Primacy Of Production, The Continual Growth Of The Power Of The State And The Formation Of The National State, The Autonomous Development Of Technics, Etc.

So Long As These Elements Continue To Be Taken For Granted, The World Is Standing Still.

For The Word Is Dialectical In Itself And At The Same Time Is Integrated Into The Whole Of Existence. By This I Mean That The Word Is Intended To Be Lived.

People Think That They Have No Right To Judge A Fact - All They Have To Do Is To Accept It. Thus From The Moment That Technics, The State, Or Production, Are Facts, We Must Worship Them As Facts, And We Must Try To Adapt Ourselves To Them.

Technological Progress Makes Whole Categories Of People Useless Without Making It Possible To Support Them With The Wealth Produced By The Progress.
