Poverty is necessary and desirable, the same Orwellian social stability 1884 idea, about "keeping the Low's in poverty and the High's in power, forever."


A modern, sophisticated form of slavery serves the same social control purpose.


Government must optimize the number of warfare deaths, never letting a good opportunity go to waste.


"Intensified environment pollution," including air and water is acceptable, and, without war, a comprehensive eugenics program and "universal test-tube procreation might have to substitute."


SSG members rejected individual freedom, opting for subservience to a ruling elite, the system that governs world nations and America since inception, instituted by the Founders so the country's owners could run it, and wage wars to solidify control.


The Report concluded that:


"The permanent possibility of war is the foundation for stable government. It supplies the basis for general acceptance of political authority." It lets societies maintain class distinctions, and ensures the subordination of citizens to the state, run by elites with "residual war powers."


As for policy measures in a world at peace, SSG members stated "as strongly as we can, that the war system cannot responsibly be allowed to disappear," absent a credible alternative to ensure social stability and societal control. Only then should transitional measures be considered.
