The Quiet Intermission
Good read and an interesting period.
Reminds me a bit of what Emile Durkheim said about Socialism (which can be applied to Communism too). He said it is:
"a cry of grief, sometimes of anger, uttered by men who feel most keenly our collective
malaise. Socialism is to the facts which produce it what the groans of a sick man are
to the illness with which he is afflicted"
His overall argument was that it is NOT the answer, but critiques of it should take seriously diagnosing the causes.
“dying world of 1925, the nation is just eight years away from revolution (more on that later). “
Must mean new deal.
1933 is perhaps Revolution, perhaps…
co-opting socialism and state action (Italy).
Americans are a deeply religious people. It isn’t do any of us have a religion, it’s;
Do we know what our religion is?
So that when we’re being religious, we know it, and don’t deceive ourselves that we have other motives?
Great insight
