Excerpt from The Future of War: In Its Technical Economic and Political Relations

Utopians, said M. Bloch; and they call us Utopians, idealists, visionaries, because we believe that the end of war is in sight? But who are the Utopians, I should like to know What is a Utopian, using the term as an epithet of opprobrium? He is a man who lives in a dream of the impossible; but what I know and am pre pared to prove is, that the real Utopians who are living in a veritable realm of phantasy are those people who believe in war. War has been possible, no doubt, but it has at last become impossible, and those who are pre paring for war, and basing all their schemes of life on the expectation of war, are visionaries of the worst kind, for war is no longer possible.
