New York Times reviewed our little book… well, when it was first available in 1910.

“MEN VERSUS THE MAN“
A Book in Which Socialist and Individualist Belabor Each Other

“Men versus the Man”  is a correspondence between two friends, Robert La Mont, Socialist, and H. L. Mencken, Individualist. They are editors of American newspapers, though their names little indicate it, and it never would be guessed from the authorities they cite in a discussion designed for American readers. Among them may be mentioned Prof. Thorstein Veblen, Prof. Hertzks, Ehrlich’s “Theory of Immunity,” and Lucien Sanial, “one of our ablest statisticians.” No disparagement is implied by this collocation of names, whose authority is in no wise affected by the selection designed to indicate the foreign atmosphere which inheres in a topic so alien to Americans that they may not recognize the distinction of its leading lights. Mr. Mencken, the Individualist, might be assumed to be the more sympathetic of the debaters. He argues that the proletariat—something that anybody desiring to be in touch with the foremost topic of our times ought to look up In the dictlorary forthwith—is composed of human vermin, and that the struggle for life ought not to be interfered with. Mr. Lamont, the Socialist, contends for such a divinity in the humblest humans that all of them have a right for something more than they can secure for themselves by the aforesaid struggle for life under the conditions of modern industrialism. There is no Institution so sacred that the Secialist would not make it over to fit his theories. And the Individualist is equally uncompromising for his view of life, contending that nothing should be done to lessen the struggle for the weak or unfit. In justice to the strong be hard to the weak, is the cry of the latter. In justice to the weak bind or abolish the strong, is the counter cry. Both argue their contentions smartly, and qualify their readers to understand, if not to maintain, a like argument for themselves upon a topic any one must be well-informed about. in order to take part in current conversations. And who so well qualified to instruct Americans regarding their institutions as the gentlemen of the foreign names?

In his lecture The Great Satan, Satanic priest Kevin I. Slaughter discussed his love of iconoclasm.

“If I were Jewish, I’d occasionally wear a t-shirt with the words Christ Killer on it.”

He then designed the shirt, and ASP Apparel is making them. And even though he’s still not Jewish, he’ll occasionally wear it.

The first collaboration between Underworld Amusements and ASP Apparel has arrived.

Produced in the United Kingdom and shipped worldwide. Hoodies and long-sleeved variants available as well.

‘Tis the reason for the season, so let ‘em know you’d do it all over again.

Iron Youth Reader at Germ Books during Boyd Rice book signing…

Germ Books in Philadelphia is the first store to pick up the IYR v.1. The proprietor of Underworld Amusements visited Germ recently for the book signing of “Standing in Two Circles: The Collected Works of Boyd Rice“.

One astute book buyer realized that the IYR v.1 has an unadvertized introduction by Boyd Rice to the “Rocks of the Sun” text by Savitri Devi, and got him to sign a copy of the IYR v.1 in addition to the book by Brian Clark.
