[Woodcut image by J.J. Grandville, [Jean-Ignace-Isodore Gerard (1803-1847)] from Bilder aus dem Leben der Thiere (“The Public and Private Life of Animals”) vol II, p. 224 =>For a good summary of Grandville’s fantastic work, which is completely unrelated to this post, see Opinionated Art, here.]
This wisp of a pamphlet (printed in 1937), set out on a task to introduce the idea of a theocracy and government according to Christian revelation, winds up in a rather odd and unexpected place. If you were to remove the religious aspect of the proposals and the “theomendments” of The People’s Party, you wind up with an extreme form of dictatorship in which “the Government” and “Government-Nation” is a sort of totally-dominating Socialist-Scriptural-Brutalista melange.
