H.G. Wells: 1866-1946, published many books that I could list here, but you wouldn't remember them anyway. You can read the titles on this website, (http://www.online-literature.com/wellshg/) and you can also find some short-stories that I haven't read. Maybe some of them are interesting.
Anyway, what intrigues me about this guy is this biography (http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1422157/posts) by a poor lemming who is shocked -- shocked! -- to have learned that Wells dared think freely and put the good of mankind before the good of individuals. Why, that's only something liberals are allowed to do, and the victims should be White men.
Wells knew that Jews were up to no good, which shows he had eyes to see with. He wanted the rotten branches cut off the tree of Man to give the good branches more room. What could be more reasonable and humanitarian? He had some wacky ideas obviously influenced by Marxism: he wanted voluntary marriage to be abolished, and instead a committee would pair people together. Note how Marxists don't understand that human nature cannot be changed, and that there is a reason for why we have certain instincts, like mating. The only social engineering that has a chance of success is separation and killing.
Oh no, where do you think you're going? The piece below may be long, but you're gonna read it and like it. This is a guy who dominated Western literature in the early 20th century, and you better learn who he was. Atrociously, I have cut away the boring parts about him that I'm not interested in, you can read them by clicking the link above if you like.
He did care about Jews. "I met a Jewish friend of mine the other day and he asked me what would come of his people," Wells wrote. "That is exactly what is the matter with them -- my people."
That man's people were about to be exterminated in the Holocaust. Writing of the First World War, Wells stated: "Throughout those tragic and almost fruitless four years of war, the Jewish spokesmen were most elaborately and energetically demonstrating that they cared not a rap for the troubles and dangers of English, French, Germans, Russians, Americans or of any other people but their own. They kept their eyes steadfastly upon the restoration of the Jews." As a result of such hateful sentiments, Eleanor Roosevelt tried to have Wells banned from the United States.
At heart, Wells was a social engineer. In best-selling books such as Anticipations and A Modern Utopia, Wells wrote that he believed the world would collapse, and from this collapse a new order should and would emerge. He saw the new pioneers as "people throughout the world whose minds were adapted to the big-scale conditions of the new time, [an] informally organized educated class, an unprecedented sort of people."
A strict social order would be formed. At the bottom of it would fall "people who had given evidence of a strong anti-social disposition," including "the black, the brown, the swarthy, the yellow."
Christians would also "have to go," as well as the handicapped. Wells devoted entire pamphlets to the need for "preventing the birth, preventing the procreation or preventing the existence" of the mentally and physically handicapped. "This thing, this euthanasia of the weak and the sensual is possible. I have little or no doubt that in the future it will be planned and achieved."
The people of Africa and Asia, he said, simply could never find a place in a modern world controlled by science. Better to do away with the lot. Marriage as it is known would have to end, as well, but couples could form mutually agreed upon unions. They would list their "desires, diseases, needs" on little cards, and a central authority would decide who was fitted for whom.
Population would be rigidly controlled, with forced abortion for those who were seen as undesirable. Religion would be banned, children would be raised in communes and doctors would be given the authority to decide who had a right to live, who had a duty to die.

And yet despite all this, Wells was an internationally renowned author. He was a star of his age and dominated the literary and cultural world from as early as 1900 up until the Second World War. His warning of the horror of future air-war, for example, is thought by historians to have made a huge contribution to Britain's reluctance to rearm against Germany in the 1930s.
Stalin knew of Wells's importance and relished his work. He met with Wells and enjoyed the encounter so much that he cancelled the rest of the day's activities so he could listen to the great man for even longer. Hitler thought that Wells spoke and wrote for the "new man," and should be "regarded" by the modern world.
Wells was pleased at this adulation, and continued to write about his favourite subject, about the future and how it should develop. In his The Outline of History, he offered similar views, but perhaps didn't do all of the work himself. During the writing of the book he delivered a lecture to a group of young people. One of them inquired about a folder of papers in Wells's car. "Today I've motored from Stonehenge, and you may care to know that I've polished that off in 40 minutes." The student was surprised, reminding Wells that Stonehenge had baffled experts of hundreds of years.
"Very likely," he replied. "But anyway I've settled it to my satisfaction. I've left a couple of experts behind, they have a fussy kind of knowledge that looks well in a footnote."
I'll say this about him with certainty: he was an intellectual. Intellectuals tend to think technocracy works. But the racialism, that's just millennia-old wisdom: your people must survive.
