(This got soo much longer than I meant for it to be omg... sorry about that!!)

American Holocaust by David Stannard is a flawed book with some dated language, but of everything I've read, I think I like its explanation/argument against this weird sort of... competitive genocide stuff. I'm gonna butcher it a little by cutting out a LOT in order to not nuke your inbox with a super long ask, but:

[…] To say this is not to say that the Jewish Holocaust-the inhuman destruction of 6,000,000 people-was not an abominably unique event. It was. So, too, for reasons of its own, was the mass murder of about 1,000,000 Armenians in Turkey a few decades prior to the Holocaust. So, too, was the deliberately caused "terror-famine" in Stalin's Soviet Union in the 1930s, which killed more than 14,000,000 people. So, too, have been each of the genocidal slaughters of many millions more, decades after the Holocaust, in Burundi, Bangladesh, Kampuchea, East Timor, the Brazilian Amazon, and elsewhere. Additionally, within the framework of the Holocaust itself, there were aspects that were unique in the campaign of genocide conducted by the Nazis against Europe's Romani people, which resulted in the mass murder of perhaps 1,500,000 men, women, and children. [...]

Each of these genocides was distinct and unique, for one reason or another, as were (and are) others that go unmentioned here. In one case the sheer numbers of people killed may make it unique. In another case, the percentage of people killed may make it unique. In still a different case, the greatly compressed time period in which the genocide took place may make it unique. In a further case, the greatly extended time period in which the genocide took place may make it unique. No doubt the targeting of a specific group or groups for extermination by a particular nation's official policy may mark a given genocide as unique. So too might another group's being unofficially (but unmistakably) targeted for elimination by the actions of a multinational phalanx bent on total extirpation. Certainly the chilling utilization of technological instruments of destruction, such as gas chambers, and its assembly-line, bureaucratic, systematic methods of destruction makes the Holocaust unique. On the other hand, the savage employment of non-technological instruments of destruction, such as the unleashing of trained and hungry dogs to devour infants, and the burning and crude hacking to death of the inhabitants of entire cities, also makes the Spanish anti-Indian genocide unique.

[…]

A secondary tragedy of all these genocides, moreover, is that partisan representatives among the survivors of particular afflicted groups not uncommonly hold up their peoples' experience as so fundamentally different from the others that not only is scholarly comparison rejected out of hand, but mere cross-referencing or discussion of other genocidal events within the context of their own flatly is prohibited. It is almost as though the preemptive conclusion that one's own group has suffered more than others is something of a horrible award of distinction that will be diminished if the true extent of another group's suffering is acknowledged.

Compounding this secondary tragedy is the fact that such insistence on the incomparability of one's own historical suffering, by means of what Irving Louis Horowitz calls "moral bookkeeping," invariably pits one terribly injured group against another […]

Denial of massive death counts is common--and even readily understandable, if contemptible--among those whose forefathers were the perpetrators of the genocide. Such denials have at least two motives: first, protection of the moral reputations of those people and that country responsible for the genocidal activity (which seems the primary motive of those scholars and politicians who deny that massive genocide campaigns were carried out against American Indians); and second, on occasion, the desire to continue carrying out virulent racist assaults upon those who were the victims of the genocide in question (as seems to be the major purpose of the anti-Semitic so-called historical revisionists who claim that the Jewish Holocaust never happened or that its magnitude has been exaggerated). But for those who have themselves been victims of extermination campaigns to proclaim uniqueness for their experiences only as a way of denying recognition to others who also have suffered massive genocidal brutalities is to play into the hands of the brutalizers. Rather, as Michael Berenbaum has wisely put it, "we should let our sufferings, however incommensurate, unite us in condemnation of inhumanity rather than divide us in a calculus of calamity."

The whole thing is available to read on the Internet Archive if you're interested. (This part starts on pg 149, if you'd just like to have the full context without the parts I chopped.)

Additionally, Carrol Kakel's book The American West and the Nazi East, while imperfect, too, is also very useful in getting at the core issue with these arguments and what makes them harmful--regardless of intent. I'm gonna spare you and not quote too much from this one, but the general gist of what it's about and argues in favor of is summed up like this in its conclusion:

In the case of the Holocaust and its contexts, the new ‘optics’ helps us see that – contrary to the prevailing image of ‘industrial genocide’ – many aspects of the Holocaust are akin to earlier ‘colonial genocide’. It is worth noting (and emphasizing) that the distinction I make between ‘colonial genocide’ and ‘industrial genocide’ is not to suggest some type of crude and arbitrary ‘partitioning’ of the Nazi Holocaust; it is, rather, to suggest and reassert the (settler) colonial roots, content, and context of the Nazi project in the ‘Wild East’ – a content and context linked, in Hitler’s and Himmler’s ‘spatial’ and ‘racial’ fantasies, to the ‘North American precedent’. And finally, the new ‘optics’ also allows us to understand that the ‘genocide and colonialism’ nexus holds the key to recognizing the Holocaust’s origins, content, and context; that the Nazi Holocaust is not a copy – but an extremely radicalized variant – of earlier ‘colonial genocide’; and that ‘holocaust’ is not a separate category from, but the most extreme variant of, the blight on human history we call ‘genocide’.

One of the more infamous examples of someone trying to argue against comparison (at least in the NDN circles I run in, anyway) was Deborah Lipstadt claiming that "[What the United States did to Native Americans] was not the same as the Holocaust" because, she says, "The Native Americans were seen as "competitors" for land and resources. There was, therefore, a certain logic-horrible and immoral as it was-to the campaign against the Native Americans."

Just for context, the full paragraph from her blog post:

What the United States did to Native Americans was horrendous. I have not studied it closely and it's not my area of expertise, however, it seems clear that the treatment of the various Native American tribes was revolting. However, it was not the same as the Holocaust. The Native Americans were seen as "competitors" for land and resources. There was, therefore, a certain logic-horrible and immoral as it was-to the campaign against the Native Americans. [Please note: I am NOT justifying the attacks.] The German campaign against the Jews had no logic and was often completely illogical. People who were "useful" to the Germans were murdered or exiled, e.g. slave laborers in factories producing goods for the Wehrmacht and scientists who were producing important technological advances for the Germans. In a prime example of illogic, in June 1944 at the time of the landing at Normandy, when the Germans were truly on the defensive, they used precious ships and men to go to the Island of Corfu and deport the 1200 Jews who lived there. They ended up in Auschwitz. Approximately 100 of this old Jewish community survived.

This is obviously a repulsive take, but the bizarre rationalization of abject evil isn't what I think makes this such a good example of the big issue at the heart of the constant emphasis on "uniqueness." There are plenty of people who hold these "exceptionalist" beliefs without taking it that much further and dismissing other genocides altogether. No, the thing that makes this such a perfect encapsulation imo is the very first sentence, where this historian, this professor of "Holocaust Studies," this woman who's ostensibly spent most of her entire life studying genocide openly admits she's never really bothered to look into what, exactly, happened to all those Indians way back when.

This is ultimately what I, personally, see as the main issue with this line of thinking. The harm doesn't necessarily come from holding the Holocaust up as "worse" than any other genocidal event, though that way of thinking definitely has its own problems, but from holding it up as fundamentally different.

It's the way this view holds it up as completely separate, in its own little bubble of history where we can study it and analyze it and teach about it all we want... all without ever having to broach the subject of colonialism. You can have entire classes where you study every single minute detail of this one specific genocide without ever having to mention or--god forbid--criticize the system that's driven pretty much every other instance of it.

Deborah Lipstadt has spent the better part of a century learning everything there is to know about the Holocaust, but in all that time, she's apparently never felt the need to look into the events that its perpetrators openly and repeatedly referred to as their inspiration.

This is what makes this sort of framing so dangerous imo. You can spend your entire life educating yourself about genocide, but if it's only in the context of one genocide and the belief in the uniqueness and incomparability of that single event is core to your understanding of both it and your worldview as a whole, you will still be completely incapable of recognizing the signs when it starts to happen again.

this is a really informative ask. thank you so much for sending this in (love the citations haha) i think it adds a lot to the overall discussion.

Science, Sin, and Scholarship: The Politics of Reverend Moon and the Unification Church

edited by Irving Louis Horowitz

MIT Press, 1978  •  290 pages  •  ISBN: 978-0262580427

SOCIOLOGY/RELIGION

With the exception of some potboiler propaganda and an “official” biography, there has been no objective literature on the Unification Church, Reverend Moon, or the rise of new sects and cults in the United States. Science, Sin, and Scholarship is the first basic overview of this extremely powerful and influential religious sect.

Essays and documents in the book cover the theory and theology of Sun Myung Moon; the metaphysics of Moon; the politics of Moon—including the activities of the Korean CIA in the United States, the Korea lobby, Moon’s pro-Seoul activities, and the civil liberties of sect members; and the psychology and sociology of Moon.

The editor, Irving Louis Horowitz, is Distinguished Professor of Sociology and Political Science at Rutgers, Editor-in-Chief of transaction/Society, and author and editor of some twenty books.

––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

“A collection of essays documenting the persistence with which Moon has infiltrated powerful groups in America, from the federal government to the universities. It is carefully edited by Irving L. Horowitz… Excellent.” —The New York Review of Books

“Some of the essays are highly critical of Moon, including charges about his alleged connection with the Korean CIA, the anti-Jewish thrust of some of his writings, his extensive financial resources, and his controversial tactics in recruiting new members. Other essays—especially the one by Frederick Sontag—commend Moon. Editor Irving Horowitz, a well-respected professional sociologist, seeks to put the Unification Church into the perspective of American social history and includes his own chapter, which questions the appropriateness of Moon’s sponsorship of the 1976 International Conference on the Unity of Sciences. This book, the first of its kind on Moon, is a well-balanced, highly valuable, comprehensive survey of an unusually aggressive contemporary religious sect.” —Choice

“A valuable work of interdisciplinary scholarship and a useful demonstration that journalism and serious social science may peacefully cohabit the pages of the same book.” —Chronicle of Higher Education

Sun Myung Moon: Missionary to Western Civilization

by Irving Louis Horowitz

In attempting to develop a balanced perspective on the Reverend Moon and his Unification church, one comes upon a point raised by Thomas Robbins, and before him, Robert Bellah, on civil religion in America. The very fusion of a notion of civics and religion portends a breakdown of the classical Western dichotomy between Caesar and God, between the secular and the sacred, and between the empirical and the supernatural. This dualism has served Western society well. It has permitted the relationship of religion to society to coexist without victory or surrender for either party and has carved our realms of being with boundaries that are invisible but real.

The great ubiquity of the Unification church is that like other Eastern-origin cults, it renders helpless, if not entirely useless, this Western dualism. It is a movement without boundaries, expressing belief systems at once political and theological, outlining premises for political action and religious realignment. Western Christendom has endured and survived a variety and host of economic and political systems so that it is able to cope with the present moment in political time far easier than with a movement like the Unification church.

Here we come to the primary reason why the Unification Church has elicited such enormous concern and consternation: the movement articulates a classical anticommunist standpoint and at the same time reasserts the need for traditional, theological verities. The Reverend Moon is a fundamentalist with a vengeance: he has a belief system that admits of no boundaries or limits, an all-embracing truth. His writings exhibit a holistic concern for the person, society, nature, and all things embraced by the human vision. In this sense the concept underwriting the Unification church is apt, for its primary drive and appeal is unity, urging a paradigm of essence in an overly complicated world of existence. It is a ready-made doctrine for impatient young people and all those for whom the pursuit of the complex has become a tiresome and fruitless venture. If there is any message in Moon’s own statements and in those of his articulate interpreters, like Frederick Sontag, it is simply the need for a vision that somehow restores meaning to events. It is a rearguard attack on a positivist tradition of truth without meaning, existence without essence, and facts without interpretation.

The metaphysical appeal provides a direct assault upon the Judeo-Christian tradition; indeed that tradition accepted limits to the role of religion in society. For the purposes of its own survival it put some distance between the everyday events of the world and the transcendental meaning of life reserved for sabbath. The institutionalization of most Western religions depends heavily on this maintenance of boundaries between the sacred and profane, divine experience and daily activities.

In the past most conventional Western religions have been able to turn back without entirely suppressing mystical challenges. Indeed the fact that most challenges were mystic made them vulnerable to the rationalistic religions of the West. But because the Unification church and the Reverend Moon come forth as both a social movement and a civic movement, they are able to translate its theological mysticism into events, or at least participation in those events. And for that reason the Unification church enters world history as neither rationalistic nor mystic but rather as some strange conglomeration of the two fused by the sensuous events of world politics.

In some odd way, what was once said of postwar Germany has become true of a place like the two Koreas, where confrontation and schism exist within the bowels of the society itself: where East meets West, where communism takes on democracy, where all the visible symbols of modern conflict continue and exist in uneasy stasis. The peculiar genius of the Reverend Moon and his movement is that they have tapped this strange truth: that there are places in the world where geography meets symbolism and where confrontation is a matter of both land and ideology. In this sense the Korean source of the Moon movement should not be viewed as a simple accident of time and place but is the very essence of the movement and its efforts to inculcate new meaning into old struggles.

The Moon movement is also a social movement. The very momentum from East to West changes the conventional pattern of messianic and missionary activity. The entire history of Western Christendom, indeed the entire history of Christianity under capitalist aegis, has been to colonize the heathen, convert the barbarian. It has always been a movement of white people converting colored people, advanced nations instructing backward nations. And here comes the Reverend Moon and his movement, indisputably Oriental, unquestionably nonwhite, and beyond the pale of Christianity, representing a small state but making his biggest impact on the center of world civilization itself, the United States. That this irony has been lost on interpreters is of small wonder. It is, to begin with, inconceivable in theory and unacceptable in practice, for the conclusion must be that the heathens are Western and white and that the truly devout are Eastern and colored. Who is to educate the educators? Apparently the Reverend Moon has been sent by God to answer that question.

Under the circumstances, it is little wonder that questions of civil liberties would become central, and that in a rage to prove the Reverend Moon wrong, there would be debriefing ceremonies, just as there are briefing rituals: that parents would seek the return of children even to the point of kidnapping them. One is forced to wonder if African parents of children converted to Christianity had similar feelings or accepted the white religion as a sanguine truth. Of course in a civilized nation, the question of rights becomes a judicial matter, and at this level, whatever the metaphysical standpoint of the Reverend Moon, rights to proselytize, to convert, to change take on their own transcendental meaning and throw into a state of disrepair the judicial mechanisms that work so well as long as there is a recognized separation of power between church and state.

In a sense the Reverend Moon and his church have only followed a classical model of institutionalization, the natural history of which is, first, to recruit acolytes in the alien world, second, to have such a following secure funds, third, by a division of labor based on the rights to disperse those funds, fourth, institutionalization of the faith through mass mobilization and membership drives, and fifth, rationalization of the faith through ideology and theology. This is really nothing more than the course of action Saint Paul outlined in the Second Letter to the Corinthians. But when it is done today it somehow shocks—as if the early followers of Christ did not proceed in precisely the same manner to secure an economically viable foundation for the Christian church. This is not to suggest that the Reverend Moon has a testament equal to those already revealed or that the staying power of his church will rival that of Western religions. Indeed the likelihood is the reverse: the very linkages of secular and civic problems to a living deity probably have done more to doom this church than theological shortcomings.

It is one thing for masses of alienated, disaffected students or young people to link up with such a movement, but it is quite another for such a movement to generate a response among a large portion of the Western intelligentsia. Of course at one level, the mandarin class, the intelligentsia itself, is without a focus. Under such circumstances, quasi-religious movements with a strong dose of social movement concerns are bound to generate a response. It is wrong to think that the intelligentsia is somehow different from those who presume to serve. They are cut from the same marrow and suffer the same pangs of uncertainty. The difference between intellectuals and young novices is not their value systems but their capacity, or lack thereof, to articulate that value system.

That the Reverend Moon and his Unification church have understood both the importance of articulation and the relationship of ideology to theology is a brilliant stroke, a recognition that vast, simplified concepts based on religious zealotry and anti-communism require a mass battering ram at one end and intellectual justifications at the other. The question of the linkages between the Reverend Moon and his Unification church and the Korean regime still exist, even though they have become increasingly muddled over time. Just as there is no doubt of the past connections and linkages, institutional and individual, so too there is no doubt that there has been a falling out among the various overseas activities of the Korea lobby. While it is extremely important to distinguish the politics of the Moon religion from the Korean regime, it is also important to understand that were this simply an extension of the Korean CIA, the Moon movement would have long since ceased to have any importance.

Reverend Moon and his church are a long, low cry from the past: a demand for a return to a simplified, unified world over and against what must appear to many to be a complicated and fragmented present-day world, growing more so daily. It is also a cry of the heart for a Western civilization that has no menaces and no communists: the last crusade, the final roundup, the assertion of anti-history, a demand that compromises yield to principle and that religion replace realpolitik.

There have been many evangelical movements in the past. In fact their value lies precisely in forcing each of us to reexamine premises of what we consider to be progressive and forward looking. That we cannot dismiss the Reverend Moon and his church is made amply plain by the final series of essays in this collection. We have yet to cope with a religion that turns political, although we have had less trouble with political movements that turn religious. We understand fanaticism when it progresses from politics to theology. We have less familiarity with absolutist theologies that drift into authoritarian politics.

I hope this volume will provide information rather than ammunition to those for whom social movements are always problematic and who appreciate the fact that irony and history is not a one-way trek. Whatever the fate of the Moon movement—whether it goes into rapid decline or slow eclipse—we have entered a period in human history where fragmentation is so thorough and alienation so deep that movements of this type have a compelling power for vast numbers, to the point where the foundations and premises of Western civilization must themselves be reexamined.

Irving Louis Horowitz - Los anarquistas (2 tomos)

El prólogo a esta antología sobre el anarquismo, escrito por Irving Louis Horowitz, examina los supuestos de esa corriente de pensamiento (la idealización del estado de naturaleza, la crítica del poder, el descuido de los estudios económicos, la desconfianza en la tecnología, la fe en el pueblo trabajador, etc.), analiza las contradicciones entre la teoría y la práctica libertarias (moralismo pedagógico y violencia terrorista, antipoliticismo y politicismo) y establece una detallada tipología del anarquismo (utilitario, campesino, sindicalista, colectivista, conspiratorio, comunista, individualista y pacifista).

El primer volumen, dedicado a la teoría, reúne textos que conciben el anarquismo como una crítica de la sociedad (Malatesta, Proudhon, Bakunin y Kropotkin, entre otros), como un estilo de vida (Tolstói, Emma Goldman, Nicola Sacco, Bartolomeo Vanzetti, etc.) y como un sistema filosófico (Stirner, Thoreau, Josiah Warren, Herbert Read).

El segundo volumen, dedicado a la práctica, recoge diversos estudios y testimonios de la materialización de las ideas y proyectos anarquistas. La primera sección dibuja un amplio panorama histórico del movimiento libertario en diversos países a través de los trabajos monográficos de destacados especialistas: España (Gerald Brenan, Hugh Thomas), Italia, Estados Unidos, Francia, Rusia, América Latina y el norte de Europa. La segunda sección incluye textos de Georges Sorel, Paul Goodman, Philip Selznick y Karl Shapiro, que ayudan a comprender la dimensión sociológica del anarquismo. Horowitz, editor de la antología, cierra el volumen con una posdata en la que indica las claves del renacimiento de las ideas libertarias y pasa revista a las objeciones y críticas que con mayor frecuencia se dirigen contra aquellas.

El apéndice, dedicado al anarquismo español, incluye un esclarecedor trabajo de José Álvarez Junco acerca del desarrollo de las ideas yde las organizaciones ácratas desde la introducción del bakuninismo a la guerra civil, y una selección de textos de las grandes figuras del anarquismo ibérico (Anselmo Lorenzo, Ricardo Mella, Fermín Salvochea, Fernando Tarrida del Mármol, Federico Urales, Teresa Mañé, etc.).

Lessing Liked God and Drama

The story so far... In his quest to discover the meaning of Dramaturgy, Gareth K Vile has gone back in time to the eighteenth century. Noticing that Lessing first used the term in the 1740s, he is tracing the relationship between Enlightenment thought and the functions of Dramaturgy. He's convinced that placing Dramaturgy within the context of its genesis, he'll be able to create a working definition that allows him to further his studies. 

My suspicion is that the past is constantly in a process of revision. Rather like in those X-Men adventures when a character goes back in time to prevent a particular event, which then changes history, contemporary thinkers re-evaluate their ancestors in an attempt to prove their own position. I've been looking up Lessing, and just discovered the other academic discipline that is still interested in his writings. Turns out that the son of a preacher-man did some theology. In 1961, Irving Louis Horowitz examined Lessing's theology (Lessing and Hamann: Two Views on Religion and Enlightenment: Church History, Vol. 30, No. 3 (Sep., 1961)). Far from being a complete religious sceptic, Lessing attempted to reconcile religious revelation and reason. He's kind of a compromise between the anti-clerical thoughts of Diderot and a more philosophical - and mystical - Christian tradition. Apart from challenging the mythology of a 'secular Enlightenment', Horowitz's essay notes that Lessing identified God as 'immanent' rather than 'transcendental'. Roughly, his notion is that God exists within the Universe, and doesn't sit on a big throne stroking his beard. Immanence ranges across a wide set of models, from a pagan pantheism where God is the physical universe (and nothing more) to a Christian view of the divine as incarnated within the world.  There might be a big 'so what?' about to follow, but here's the thing. The Enlightenment - say in Anthony Pagden's Big Cool Tome - is often interpreted as a break with religious thought. Kant's reply to the question 'what is enlightenment?' (TL;DR: 'grow up') is taken as a rejection of the 'authority through revelation model' encouraged by churches. But Lessing doesn't go that far. He sustains a dialogue with religious thought.  He doesn't dethrone reason, but he does see it in collaboration with spiritual faith. His ability to integrate the two approaches makes him more Reasonable than some of the more explicitly atheistic thinkers, and while he locates religious sentiment within the personal rather than social sphere, he's not abandoning the Christian tradition for an all-new, sparkling godless universe.  I fear we are still in the 'so what?' zone. Well, there's the idea that continuity is important when considering the Enlightenment. Then there is the question of how a theological thinker might perceive theatre. Knowing that Lessing rejected the more Catholic notion of 'religion as social process' but accepted a personal engagement with the spiritual might help make sense of how he would then interpret various plays. It's all conjecture, but give it a chance... from the vileblog http://ift.tt/2io56nX

Science, Sin, and Scholarship: The Politics of Reverend Moon and the Unification Church

edited by Irving Louis Horowitz

MIT Press, 1978  •  290 pages  •  ISBN: 978-0262580427

SOCIOLOGY/RELIGION

With the exception of some potboiler propaganda and an “official” biography, there has been no objective literature on the Unification Church, Reverend Moon, or the rise of new sects and cults in the United States. Science, Sin, and Scholarship is the first basic overview of this extremely powerful and influential religious sect.

Essays and documents in the book cover the theory and theology of Sun Myung Moon; the metaphysics of Moon; the politics of Moon—including the activities of the Korean CIA in the United States, the Korea lobby, Moon’s pro-Seoul activities, and the civil liberties of sect members; and the psychology and sociology of Moon.

The editor, Irving Louis Horowitz, is Distinguished Professor of Sociology and Political Science at Rutgers, Editor-in-Chief of transaction/Society, and author and editor of some twenty books.

"A collection of essays documenting the persistence with which Moon has infiltrated powerful groups in America, from the federal government to the universities. It is carefully edited by Irving L. Horowitz... Excellent." —The New York Review of Books

"Some of the essays are highly critical of Moon, including charges about his alleged connection with the Korean CIA, the anti-Jewish thrust of some of his writings, his extensive financial resources, and his controversial tactics in recruiting new members. Other essays—especially the one by Frederick Sontag—commend Moon. Editor Irving Horowitz, a well-respected professional sociologist, seeks to put the Unification Church into the perspective of American social history and includes his own chapter, which questions the appropriateness of Moon's sponsorship of the 1976 International Conference on the Unity of Sciences. This book, the first of its kind on Moon, is a well-balanced, highly valuable, comprehensive survey of an unusually aggressive contemporary religious sect." —Choice

"A valuable work of interdisciplinary scholarship and a useful demonstration that journalism and serious social science may peacefully cohabit the pages of the same book." —Chronicle of Higher Education

Sun Myung Moon: Missionary to Western Civilization

Sun Myung Moon: Missionary to Western Civilization

by Irving Louis Horowitz

In attempting to develop a balanced perspective on the Reverend Moon and his Unification church, one comes upon a point raised by Thomas Robbins, and before him, Robert Bellah, on civil religion in America. The very fusion of a notion of civics and religion portends a breakdown of the classical Western dichotomy between Caesar and God, between the secular and the sacred, and between the empirical and the supernatural. This dualism has served Western society well. It has permitted the relationship of religion to society to coexist without victory or surrender for either party and has carved our realms of being with boundaries that are invisible but real.

The great ubiquity of the Unification church is that like other Eastern-origin cults, it renders helpless, if not entirely useless, this Western dualism. It is a movement without boundaries, expressing belief systems at once political and theological, outlining premises for political action and religious realignment. Western Christendom has endured and survived a variety and host of economic and political systems so that it is able to cope with the present moment in political time far easier than with a movement like the Unification church.

Here we come to the primary reason why the Unification Church has elicited such enormous concern and consternation: the movement articulates a classical anticommunist standpoint and at the same time reasserts the need for traditional, theological verities. The Reverend Moon is a fundamentalist with a vengeance: he has a belief system that admits of no boundaries or limits, an all-embracing truth. His writings exhibit a holistic concern for the person, society, nature, and all things embraced by the human vision. In this sense the concept underwriting the Unification church is apt, for its primary drive and appeal is unity, urging a paradigm of essence in an overly complicated world of existence. It is a ready-made doctrine for impatient young people and all those for whom the pursuit of the complex has become a tiresome and fruitless venture. If there is any message in Moon’s own statements and in those of his articulate interpreters, like Frederick Sontag, it is simply the need for a vision that somehow restores meaning to events. It is a rearguard attack on a positivist tradition of truth without meaning, existence without essence, and facts without interpretation.

The metaphysical appeal provides a direct assault upon the Judeo-Christian tradition; indeed that tradition accepted limits to the role of religion in society. For the purposes of its own survival it put some distance between the everyday events of the world and the transcendental meaning of life reserved for sabbath. The institutionalization of most Western religions depends heavily on this maintenance of boundaries between the sacred and profane, divine experience and daily activities.

In the past most conventional Western religions have been able to turn back without entirely suppressing mystical challenges. Indeed the fact that most challenges were mystic made them vulnerable to the rationalistic religions of the West. But because the Unification church and the Reverend Moon come forth as both a social movement and a civic movement, they are able to translate its theological mysticism into events, or at least participation in those events. And for that reason the Unification church enters world history as neither rationalistic nor mystic but rather as some strange conglomeration of the two fused by the sensuous events of world politics.

In some odd way, what was once said of postwar Germany has become true of a place like the two Koreas, where confrontation and schism exist within the bowels of the society itself: where East meets West, where communism takes on democracy, where all the visible symbols of modern conflict continue and exist in uneasy stasis. The peculiar genius of the Reverend Moon and his movement is that they have tapped this strange truth: that there are places in the world where geography meets symbolism and where confrontation is a matter of both land and ideology. In this sense the Korean source of the Moon movement should not be viewed as a simple accident of time and place but is the very essence of the movement and its efforts to inculcate new meaning into old struggles.

The Moon movement is also a social movement. The very momentum from East to West changes the conventional pattern of messianic and missionary activity. The entire history of Western Christendom, indeed the entire history of Christianity under capitalist aegis, has been to colonize the heathen, convert the barbarian. It has always been a movement of white people converting colored people, advanced nations instructing backward nations. And here comes the Reverend Moon and his movement, indisputably Oriental, unquestionably nonwhite, and beyond the pale of Christianity, representing a small state but making his biggest impact on the center of world civilization itself, the United States. That this irony has been lost on interpreters is of small wonder. It is, to begin with, inconceivable in theory and unacceptable in practice, for the conclusion must be that the heathens are Western and white and that the truly devout are Eastern and colored. Who is to educate the educators? Apparently the Reverend Moon has been sent by God to answer that question.

Under the circumstances, it is little wonder that questions of civil liberties would become central, and that in a rage to prove the Reverend Moon wrong, there would be debriefing ceremonies, just as there are briefing rituals: that parents would seek the return of children even to the point of kidnapping them. One is forced to wonder if African parents of children converted to Christianity had similar feelings or accepted the white religion as a sanguine truth. Of course in a civilized nation, the question of rights becomes a judicial matter, and at this level, whatever the metaphysical standpoint of the Reverend Moon, rights to proselytize, to convert, to change take on their own transcendental meaning and throw into a state of disrepair the judicial mechanisms that work so well as long as there is a recognized separation of power between church and state.

In a sense the Reverend Moon and his church have only followed a classical model of institutionalization, the natural history of which is, first, to recruit acolytes in the alien world, second, to have such a following secure funds, third, by a division of labor based on the rights to disperse those funds, fourth, institutionalization of the faith through mass mobilization and membership drives, and fifth, rationalization of the faith through ideology and theology. This is really nothing more than the course of action Saint Paul outlined in the Second Letter to the Corinthians. But when it is done today it somehow shocks—as if the early followers of Christ did not proceed in precisely the same manner to secure an economically viable foundation for the Christian church. This is not to suggest that the Reverend Moon has a testament equal to those already revealed or that the staying power of his church will rival that of Western religions. Indeed the likelihood is the reverse: the very linkages of secular and civic problems to a living deity probably have done more to doom this church than theological shortcomings.

It is one thing for masses of alienated, disaffected students or young people to link up with such a movement, but it is quite another for such a movement to generate a response among a large portion of the Western intelligentsia. Of course at one level, the mandarin class, the intelligentsia itself, is without a focus. Under such circumstances, quasi-religious movements with a strong dose of social movement concerns are bound to generate a response. It is wrong to think that the intelligentsia is somehow different from those who presume to serve. They are cut from the same marrow and suffer the same pangs of uncertainty. The difference between intellectuals and young novices is not their value systems but their capacity, or lack thereof, to articulate that value system.

That the Reverend Moon and his Unification church have understood both the importance of articulation and the relationship of ideology to theology is a brilliant stroke, a recognition that vast, simplified concepts based on religious zealotry and anti-communism require a mass battering ram at one end and intellectual justifications at the other. The question of the linkages between the Reverend Moon and his Unification church and the Korean regime still exist, even though they have become increasingly muddled over time. Just as there is no doubt of the past connections and linkages, institutional and individual, so too there is no doubt that there has been a falling out among the various overseas activities of the Korea lobby. While it is extremely important to distinguish the politics of the Moon religion from the Korean regime, it is also important to understand that were this simply an extension of the Korean CIA, the Moon movement would have long since ceased to have any importance.

Reverend Moon and his church are a long, low cry from the past: a demand for a return to a simplified, unified world over and against what must appear to many to be a complicated and fragmented present-day world, growing more so daily. It is also a cry of the heart for a Western civilization that has no menaces and no communists: the last crusade, the final roundup, the assertion of anti-history, a demand that compromises yield to principle and that religion replace realpolitik.

There have been many evangelical movements in the past. In fact their value lies precisely in forcing each of us to reexamine premises of what we consider to be progressive and forward looking. That we cannot dismiss the Reverend Moon and his church is made amply plain by the final series of essays in this collection. We have yet to cope with a religion that turns political, although we have had less trouble with political movements that turn religious. We understand fanaticism when it progresses from politics to theology. We have less familiarity with absolutist theologies that drift into authoritarian politics.

I hope this volume will provide information rather than ammunition to those for whom social movements are always problematic and who appreciate the fact that irony and history is not a one-way trek. Whatever the fate of the Moon movement—whether it goes into rapid decline or slow eclipse—we have entered a period in human history where fragmentation is so thorough and alienation so deep that movements of this type have a compelling power for vast numbers, to the point where the foundations and premises of Western civilization must themselves be reexamined.
