It is remarkable that ever since men became aware of Pluto in 1930, various races have openly confronted each other with open animosity. Simultaneously, all over the world, the ancient religions and ancient sex taboos have lost their power. Now, many societies do not merely tolerate sexual libertarianism, they approve of it and actively encourage it. What is less commonly recognized is that even those societies that still retain sexual taboos and some semblance of religion join the sexually and racially liberated ones in the rising tide of violence. But no society seems yet to recognize that this violence is another form of sexual expression; nor that sadistic violence has become the most commonplace form of sexual expression since 1930 because all societies do not merely tolerate it: they encourage it.

As soon as astrologers began to study Pluto, they recognized its connection with violence—a special type of violence that rises from the depths of society; no existing forces of law seem able to control its deadly fallout. Plutonic violence is not individualistic. It is organized group violence that functions on criminally obtained money, secret police powers, and terror. The Mafia; the bootleg mobs of the 1920s and 1930s; the Friekorps gangs and Hitler’s Brown Shirts in Germany; Mussolini’s Black Shirts in Italy; the Black Panthers; motorcycle gangs, like the Pagans and Hell’s Angels, the Weathermen; and the juvenile street gangs that now terrorize every large American city, are all examples of the Plutonic phenomenon. They are all manifestations of a social psychopathology that has its roots in a collective doubt of masculine virility and an almost conscious awareness of individual impotence.

All these gangs arise from elements in the society that either feel themselves to be or actually are unable to cope with the social problems that confront them. In a patristic social framework, like that of every Western civilization, society’s rejection of large elements, because of race, religion, illiteracy, cultural strangeness, or lack of skills the society can use, is a condemnation of the rejected group to social impotence. In a patristic society, masculinity is symbolically demonstrated by the acceptance of social responsibility, the mastery of socially accepted skills, and the assumption of authority over the society’s respected institutions. Since this is the case, any large group which is declared to be, or feels itself to be, socially impotent is symbolically declared to be, or unconsciously feels itself to be, lacking in masculine virility.

When masses of people move from a simple, sheltered, or relatively primitive environment into a complex, indifferent, or sophisticated one, they suffer collectively from an inability to cope with the new conditions. When a nation suffers a sudden historical disaster, like the massive defeat of Germany in World War I, which destroys the entire social order, the effect is the same because no people can cope, collectively, with sudden anarchy. The logic of the unconscious mind is the logic of dreams, where one symbol or emotion is equated with another symbol or emotion which, to the rational waking mind has no relation to it.
