If any civilization is to survive, it is the morality of altruism that men have to reject.

Summary

This quote suggests that in order for any civilization to continue existing, people need to reject the principle of altruism, which is the belief in moral selflessness and concern for others. The implication is that a survival-focused ideology should be adopted instead. This perspective challenges the commonly held notion that selflessness and concern for others are integral to a functioning and thriving society. It raises the question of whether selfishness and individualism are more effective drivers for the long-term sustainability and progress of a civilization.
