Abstract

War and Civil War

The only redeeming feature about Bolshevism is its aim for peace; nevertheless, it has created civil war. The author, who do not appreciate any radicalism, unless it be of the highest or best type, do not in the least, believe in the much-advertised blessings of so-called democracy any more than in plutocracy. The tremendous strife now raging between the different nations has been superseded in Russia and Finland by just as violent a clash between those who possess property and those who do not. It has opened a chasm between those who work with their brains and those who toil with their hands. The social chasm is just as wide and dangerous as the war between Germans and Frenchmen Civil war is fully as dreadful and fully as brutal, but besides being more treacherous, it spreads its conflagration over a greater territory and consequently it is of longer duration.
