Fromm explores the roots of human aggression, distinguishing natural, defensive aggression from uniquely human, destructive violence. He argues that cruelty and sadism arise not from instinct but from psychological and social conditions. Using case studies of figures like Hitler and Stalin, Fromm shows how powerlessness and alienation breed destructiveness. He concludes that only life-affirming cultures and values can prevent such tendencies.
