Ragnar Redbeard was the pseudonym of Arthur Desmond, the author of 'Might Is Right', an ultra-individualistic screed of the 1890s. A bizarre mixture of Stirner's anarcho-individualism, Nietzsche's "Triumph of the Will" and Darwin's evolutionary ideologies, "Might Is Right" was seized upon by leftists of the time and published in numerous countries. Today the book is enjoying a revival amongst the American marginal crowd as well as with pseudo satanists (industrial band Non have recorded an aural version) and right wing libertarians (Loompanics Books have reprinted it). Unfortunately many of those now enjoying the book have a tendency (as with the SCUM manifesto) to take it at face value ignoring its satirical content and interpreting its ranting as authentic radicalism.
