Man is becoming God—that is the simple fact. Man is God in the making.
The Voice of Destruction (1940)
Science is a social phenomenon, and like every other social phenomenon is limited by the benefit of injury it confers on the community.
The Voice of Destruction (1940)
Those who see in National Socialism nothing more than a political movement know scarcely anything of it. It is more even than a religion: it is the will to create mankind anew.
The Voice of Destruction (1940)
The idea of free and unfettered science, unfettered by hypotheses, could only occur in the age of Liberalism. It is absurd.
The Voice of Destruction (1940)
In my youth, and even in the first years of my Munich period after the war, I never shunned the company of Marxists of any shade. I was of the opinion that one or other of them showed promise.
The Voice of Destruction (1940)
And above all, we shall then maintain our passionate desire to revolutionize the world to an extent unparalleled in history… Why need we trouble to socialize banks and factories? We socialize human beings.
The Voice of Destruction (1940)
I promise you that if I wished to, I could destroy the Church in a few years; it is hollow and rotten and false through and through. One push and the whole structure would collapse. We should trap the priests by their notorious greed and self-indulgence.
The Voice of Destruction (1940)
When the enemy is demoralized from within… A single blow must destroy him. Aerial attacks, stupendous in their mass effect, surprise, terror, sabotage, assassinations from within, the murder of leading men… that is the war of the future.
The Voice of Destruction (1940)

The Voice of Destruction (1940)
Yes, man has to be passed and surpassed. Nietzsche did, it is true, realized something of this, in his way. He went so far as to recognize the superman as a new biological variety. But he was not too sure of it. Man is becoming God—that is the simple fact. Man is God in the making.
The Voice of Destruction (1940)
The religions are all alike, no matter what they call themselves. They have no future—certainly none for the Germans. Fascism, if it likes, may come to terms with the Church. So shall I. Why not? That will not prevent me from tearing up Christianity root and branch, and annihilating it in Germany.
The Voice of Destruction (1940)
I have learned a great deal from Marxism as I do not hesitate to admit… The difference between them and myself is that I have really put into practice what these peddlers and pen pushers have timidly begun. The whole of National Socialism is based on it… National Socialism is what Marxism might have been if it could have broken its absurd and artificial ties with a democratic order.
