The Ungovernable Society
Grégoire Chamayou
In politics “It would be good if … (e.g., the tsar were overthrown)” means someone has decided that it would be desirable or advisable if this were to take place, or at any rate has entertained the possibility that this might be done. “Who is that?” is always a pertinent question. It also means that someone is in principle willing to try to implement “the good” that has been determined, even if the form that attempt at implementation takes is a series of weak and ineffectual actions that amount to no more than some seditious conversations, or committing to memory a subversive poem.
