Join 📚 Lukas' Reading Highlights
A batch of the best highlights from what Lukas's read, .
Those who declare that these ideals have no real substance and that only the interests and power of particular groups are real, inevitably attach their aspirations for equity and brotherhood to the struggle of a particular party for power. Their ultimate reliance and all their love and devotion are then attached to this residue of reality, the power of the chosen party. Hence the selected party’s irresistible fanaticism and its capacity to stir up deep moral response even while pouring scorn on moral realities.

In fact, only by giving power away and empowering others do these groups develop networks and movements large enough to catalyze widespread social change.
