THE WORLD STATE 344 APPENDIX THE TRAINING FOR THE NEW DEMOCRACY 363 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ THE NEW STATE ------------------------------------------------------------------------ THE NEW STATE INTRODUCTION OUR political life is stagnating, capital and labor are virtually at war, the nations of Europe are at one another’s throats—because we have not yet learned how to live together. The twentieth century must find a new principle of association. Crowd philosophy, crowd government, crowd patriotism must go. The herd is no longer sufficient to enfold us. Group organization is to be the new method in politics, the basis of our future industrial system, the foundation of international order. Group organization will create the new world we are now blindly feeling after, for creative force comes from the group, creative power is evolved through the activity of the group life.
