Fuck this, I'll read the rest of this godforsaken thread in the morning, but you should know that over-rapid industrialization and reform were part of the destabilizing factors that weakened the government against revolutionary sentiment, and moreover that this process was in its first post-serfdom phase by the time Demons was written, that most sectors were already majority industrial by the 1870s, and that a systemic crash would lead to a consistent wave of industrial growth and expansion that continued unchecked until the Revolution, and which was merely restarted and popularized by the new Soviet government.

Do you recall the crystal palace allegory? People who wish to smash the palace can see how its typical utopianist advocate is a retarded ignorant blinded by the promise of progress and what-could-have-beens to the point that he is absolutely assured of his mistaken perspective, like you are. Same old shit, the man hasn't really been wrong for 150 years. There is a fundamental error in your historical understanding not even getting into the other dumb biases you display, and here you are bitching about how the trad-existentialist-fatalist wasn't enough of a man of action. My God.

I think that the Buddha teached the True Self.
