Abstract

It Seems to Heywood Broun
Broun, Heywood | July 16, 1930 issue

One important phase of the Russian experiment is seldom discussed by anybody and never by the Communists. Bolshevist commentators limit themselves to investigation and glorification of the economic aims of the Soviet Republic. It is, of course, a familiar Marxian theory that all history must be translated in terms of economics. Nevertheless, it seems to the unlikely that life in its entirety can be simplified into a mere matter of economic adjustments. It may be said, perhaps, that the Soviet state is still in the formative stage, and that certain rigorous aspects of self-discipline and coercive discipline from the state itself may be moderated once the structure has been solidified.
