In a word there is an extraordinary crop of societies more or less secret and more or less masonic of whose existence the public is generally totally ignorant, but whose importance is sometimes very real. They all work more or loss in the same general direction and their main points have been thus summarized in a book called the Nameless Order as corresponding to the six points of the kabbalistic star :
1. Religious. — By philosophy or mysticism or empiric science to undermine and discredit all Christian creed.
2. Ethical. — To corrupt morality of northern races with oriental codes — weaken marriage bonds — destroy family life; abolish inheritance, even heritable names.
3. Aesthetic. — Cult of the ugly and aberrant in art. literature, music and drama — modernism — crude orientalism — degeneracy.
4. Sociological. — Abolition of aristocracy — creation of plutocracy money standard — by vulgar display, extravagance, corruption, to create revolt in proletarian minds, hence class—war.
5. Industrial and financial — Having destroyed ideals of craftsmanship and pride in handicraft, set up golden serpent of profit. Standardisation of cheap and shoddy — centralization — cartel and trust leading to abolition of private ownership and to state monopoly.
6. Political — To kill patriotism and pride of race: in name of progress and evolution set up internationalism as ideal of human brotherhood. Thus undermine national unity, weaken all governments and so prepare way for their super—government which shall rule the world.
