And when there are no more classes, when society is socially democratized and unified, then there will be revealed in all its metaphysical depths the never-ending tragedy of the conflict between personality and society.[/b]
My advice: Don’t hold your breath.
The war educated a generation of believers in force. The demons of hatred and murder then released continue their activity.
Is that still going on?
Control and violence that is best reflected in the state, are evil in themselves. In this knowledge lies the great truth of anarchism.
Theoretically for example.
It is beyond dispute that the state exercises very great power over human life and it always shows a tendency to go beyond the limits laid down for it.
You know, if we let it.
Morally, it is wrong to suppose the source of evil is outside oneself, that one is a vessel of holiness running over with virtue. Such a disposition is the best soil for a hateful and cruel fanaticism.
Not counting you, right, Mr. Objectivist?
It is not so much that I arrive at truth as that I take my start from it.
Making him all that more dangerous perhaps.
