Fascinating read. Now I need to get my hands on a copy for my shelf.

“as we already know, the fallacy of all revolutions is that they are strong and concrete on the negative and destructive side, and limp and abstract on the positive and creative side.”

(Rephrased) Pursuing these artificial aims has left us spiritually sapped for generations and tired. These global tasks were useless to us. “We need to get away from the hurly-burly of world rivalries”, the useless space race, and the insane push toward more city living in ramshackle, shoddy buildings so our youth can become more degenerate in the race toward prestige.

Applies to the U.S. unreservedly. “We are ready in our conceit to extend our responsibility to any other country, however distant...provided it declares its intent to nationalize the means of production and centralize power...We meddle indefatigably in conflicts on every continent...We are what the Soviet newspapers until the forties called ‘traders in blood.’”

“It was as a reply to the shamelessness of unlimited money-grubbing that socialism in all its forms developed.” Agreed.
