His ideas, as elaborated in \u003cem\u003eThe Peasantry as the Lifeblood of the Nordic Race\u003c\/em\u003e and his thought-provoking sequel\u003cem\u003e, A New Nobility of Blood and Soil,\u003c\/em\u003e proved extremely influential on National Socialist thinking and greatly strengthened the party’s agrarian and agriculturalist wing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-align: start; ; white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003eIn this book, Darré examines Nordic civilizations and convincingly argues from multiple angles-biology, history, archaeology, animal breeding, religion, and philosophy-that without a robust and prosperous peasantry at the foundation, holding up the thinkers and decision makers at the top, their societies inevitably wither and fail. By demonstrating the stark differences between what he terms as the inherently peasant Nordic race and the various nomadic races, Darré captures a duality between the civilization-building and the civilization-destroying races of the world. He argues that the peasant and nomadic characteristics of these respective races are inherent to their being-coded in their genetics. Importantly, he puts forward the claim that the rootless and destructive nature of a nomadic race is not limited to wandering the steppe and raiding on horseback. In the modern era, these same nomadic races torch civilizations in much more sophisticated ways: exploitative capitalism, Bolshevism, and sexual degeneracy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-align: start; ; white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePrint Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 418 Pages\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-align: start; ; white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat: \u003c\/strong\u003ePaperback\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Underground Canon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58114190672207,"sku":"UC-BK-MFT-023","price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1025\/7177\/0191\/files\/Peasantry-cover.webp?v=1782972360","url":"https:\/\/undergroundcanon.com\/products\/thepeasantryasthelifebloodofthenordicrace","provider":"Underground Canon","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
