Creation and production come to mean sold activity. A man's activity is 'productive,' useful to society, only when it is sold activity.

Today, all it takes for an enemy of the “White Power” to be hunted out is an identification on a web page, or an Email posting. Survival to the fittest, or that’s what some people think.
