Is really might a right thing? Is this a book with influences of the Nietzsche philosophy? Ali the guy who wrote this book came to the same conclusions as Nietzsche independent of him. He is far more extreme and insane. A very good read. Also ye …more the guy who wrote this book came to the same conclusions as Nietzsche independent of him.

This is the antithesis of the The Holy Bible and every other white-light book.
Lusty, profane, Sadistic literally--this is a work if not influenced by de Sade , then certainly in the same spirit , racist, sexist, anti-Semitic, classist, and more violent than any Tarantino movie.

Like a nightmare, but a liberating one. A true experience. Read it if you dare. View 2 comments. Rumored to be ghostwritten by the great Jack London, it probably wasn't plaigarized from word for word by the Jewish con man Anton Lavey in various parts of his "Satanic Bible", written in a way that is basicly a book length rant, Might is Right ranks as what is probably my favorite "philosophy" book.
Even though in a passage or two Redbeard hails Thor as a God to be admired and emulated this book more or less takes an athiestic stance, but other than the athieism I can agree with most of what Rumored to be ghostwritten by the great Jack London, it probably wasn't plaigarized from word for word by the Jewish con man Anton Lavey in various parts of his "Satanic Bible", written in a way that is basicly a book length rant, Might is Right ranks as what is probably my favorite "philosophy" book.
Even though in a passage or two Redbeard hails Thor as a God to be admired and emulated this book more or less takes an athiestic stance, but other than the athieism I can agree with most of what is in Might is Right, especially the rants about the uselessness and wretchedness of the masses of people who through their cowardice and stupidity really don't deserve anything better than the mental and physical slavery that their lives are. Good stuff on the utter insanity of the Christian idea of loving ones enemies and turning the other cheek, as well as accepting a deity outside your own culture as your own.
Some of the "Social Darwinism" ideas in MiR go a little overboard but for the most part I think they are correct, because after all, whether you like it or not, Might is Right. View 1 comment. Feb 26, Jared rated it did not like it Recommends it for: racists, idiots, guys who have no good qualities but bench a lot.
The perfect book for people who have become somewhat strong or skilled physically but lack any critical thinking skills. Attempts to shock the reader into either agreeance or anger while managing only to inflate the egos of the stupid, the racist, and the insecure white male who is always trying to prove to everyone else how "badass" he is. It reads as though it were written by an angry high school freshman who had a decent grasp of the rules of writing.
Otherwise, it's nonsensical at best, dange The perfect book for people who have become somewhat strong or skilled physically but lack any critical thinking skills. Otherwise, it's nonsensical at best, dangerous to a person's intellect at worst. The book is nothing more than a method of self-fellation for the truly stupid. View all 8 comments.

This is a top 10 all time book. You will probably never encounter anything else like it within the bubble of academia and polite social company. All the more reason to read! The basic premise is that no matter what you moral view, no matter how you feel about the way something should be, the only thing that matters is who conquers.
Those who win determine the new standards for right and wrong. The meak will never inherit the earth, and they never have. Only the strong survive. Dec 01, Ossian's Dream rated it it was amazing. This book is the most ruthless and aggressive worship of power that has ever been created. Thucydides, Nietzsche, Machiavelli, Bismarck etc. Let those who prove their worth take what is theirs but accept that they may come from anywhere and history has showed us that no great power remains so forever.
Changed my life. Jun 05, Victor rated it really liked it. This book is surprisingly well written, with a prose that is very thought provoking and confronting. This book gives you a different perspective on nature, on yourself, on humanity and on life. It's a harsh truth. The only thing I dislike about this book is that it is somewhat repetitive. Saying that, I reall Wow. Saying that, I really enjoyed reading this book. Life is for the strong. Take faith in yourself and battle on. Feb 03, Signor Mambrino rated it it was ok.
You can only talk about how everything in life is determined by power for so long before it starts to get repetitive. Still, the pseudonymous author's grandiloquent nineteenth-century style prose makes this a lot more fun than it would otherwise be. It is basically true that contemporary westerner's are "Anti-Power", that is to say they think that power is something evil in and of itself, and that the means necessary to acquire it are also evil, and that whatever power one has must be checked.
T You can only talk about how everything in life is determined by power for so long before it starts to get repetitive. This view is totally pathological and insane, of course, because whatever people believes this will surely be subjugated, and a life spent in subjugation to someone malicious is hell indeed.
The author may be correct that this disease of the mind comes from Christianity. All of his critiques of Christianity are straight from Nietzsche. What "Ragnar Redbeard" is missing from his book is to point out that there are essentially two different kinds of power: Hard power and soft power. Hard power is brute force, soft power is persuasion and subtlety. The totalitarianism of the post-modern west is rooted more in the latter than the former, and the means of the former cannot be used to stop it unless society collapses Mad Max style which would be pretty great, but we can't just sit and hope for something like this to happen.
Another thing he should have pointed out is that power is not necessarily "immoral" but rather "amoral" It's not that power and morality are necessarily mutually contradictory. In fact, people who love justice should be encouraged to seek power so that they can wield it for good. Oct 13, Youthknives rated it really liked it. This book was something of a puzzle for me because I have heard so much rumor and intrigue surrounding it that I sort of put it off for several years.
I recently picked it up and finished it a couple of days and I don't quite understand what all the fuss was about. Probably because this information was rather "shocking" to people in the past, however, to us it seems like obvious necessity.
That being said the overall book is written in elegant English and is a joy to read. There are some points I This book was something of a puzzle for me because I have heard so much rumor and intrigue surrounding it that I sort of put it off for several years. There are some points I diverge away from here but then again perhaps that is the nature of all man made philosophy and something Redbeard, to his credit, does make mention of.
I have incorporated this book into the "Triad of Masculine Awakening", a kind of collection I devised during the last year while I gathered information from various sources. This book makes the list so I strongly urge you to read it, but only after you read the others listed. I have added this "Triad" below in the order I recommend them to be read. Each one will act as a tool for another. For example, reading "The Metaphysics of War" prior to "Might Is Right" grounds Redbeard and reminds us all that rejecting metaphysical principles is simply impossible and self-destructive and thus the spirit of Redbeard's words can be applied through an Evolian lens and I think this overall will improve the way you will meditate and incorporate this information into your life.
Stout book, fun to read, interesting English. Might Is Right Ragnar Redbeard. Jan 25, Nick rated it it was amazing Shelves: philosophy , political-theory , liberty , heresy , poetry , authoritarianism , s. More of a long vitriolic poem about egoism than a philosophical treatise. The egoism in this is almost completely pure, though it is tainted by some tinges of darwinism and racial collectivism. Very fun though. Would read again. Jan 08, Steve Cran rated it really liked it. I remember growing up and hearing the statement that might does not make right.
Of course, with regards to bullies and dictator I always agreed. Yet, when someone wrongs you , then you have to right to take restorative action which could include violence. Might does not make right but some right needs the might.
As many people have an opinion about Redbeard, you're encouraged to read his books and writings for yourself.
