Ideologies Part #2 -

"A feeble logic, whose finger beckons us to the dark spectacle of the Stalinist Soviet union, affirms the bankruptcy of Bolshevism, followed by that of Marxism, followed by that of Socialism.... Have you forgotten the other bankruptcies? What was Christianity doing in the various catastrophes of the society? What became of Liberalism? What has Conservatism produced, in either its enlightened or reactionary form? If we are indeed honestly to weigh out the bankruptcies of ideology, we shall have a long task ahead of us.. And nothing is finished yet." Victor Serge, 1947
