The Evolution of Socialism
N.A. Berdiaev once called communists' hatred of capitalism their main weakness. In so doing, the philosopher was not at all defending capitalism. He believed that hatredâ"enamored hatred of the past"âkept people in the thrall of the past: "A person who is consumed with hatred cannot look toward the future, toward a new life.">sup>1>/sup> Our society has now outgrown its hatred of capitalism. We are inclined to abandon our well and draw water from the common river of human civilization. However, we are once again threatened with hatred, but this time it is hatred of our own, socialist past.
