Seeds for the Sower

Russia cries, Proletariat! History echoes,Sans-culotte.

The rule of the Proletariat is anotherswing of the pendulum of Time.

Autocracy is a government of the few fromabove; Bolshevism is a government ofthe few from below.

Society may be likened to a rod, which onlya just government can balance properly.But we are still trying to find the balancingpoint.

Bolshevism is the other end of Czarism.

In a true democracy is the cure for mostof our social and political ills; but a fewof them must remain to keep us going.

A true democratic government is still anideal to be attained.

Revolution is glorified by intellectuals,apotheosized by poets, sanctified byvisionaries, and bled white by politicians.

Revolution applies a local anaesthetic toone class of Society and operates on theother.

Bolshevism may be Marxian in theory, butit is Hulagoesque in practice. It may beof European descent, but it is Orientalin tradition, Oriental in mood, Orientalin temperament.

The Orientals are the extremists of theworld. As individuals, they are slavesof Caprice; as types, they are slaves ofAuthority, The one knows no law, theother knows no exception to the law.

The Oriental in the Russian has set theHouse of Socialism on fire; and theEuropean in the Russian has not yetfound the fire extinguisher.
