The Pivot of Civilization was published in 1922. It contains
Margaret Sanger's belief that civilization rises or falls on how it
views the 'people problem.' It wasn't simply the fact that there
were too many people. The kind of people roaming the planet were
also a problem. What kind of people? Sanger says it explicitly:
feeble-minded, defective, moronic, epileptic people. What should be
done with them? They should be put into camps. They should be
sterilized. They should be segregated. Does this sound familiar?It
is but one small step to add: "They should be exterminated."10
years later, Sanger introduced her 'Plan for Peace' (included in
this book) which made similar calls. So it was that some of the
most devilish ideas carried out by the Nazis not more than a decade
later were just as popular in America. Indeed, it appears the Nazis
may have gotten their ideas from American eugenicists Sanger's book
will give you a new perspective on the intellectual climate in the
early 1900s and a new understanding of contemporary events and
issues.
