More From Max Eastman

It had been held that the economic system, any capitalist system, found its equilibrium at full employment. left to itself, it was thus that it came to rest. idle men and idle plant were an aberration, a wholly temporary failing. keynes showed that the modern economy could as well find its equilibrium with continuing, serious unemployment. its perfectly normal tendency was to what economists have since come to call an underemployment equilibrium.
Men Perfectly Normal Aberration
So let us decide whether you want a shelter, a safety zone, which will no longer yield conflict, whether you want to escape from the present conflict to enter a condition in which there shall be no conflict; or whether you are unaware, unconscious of this conflict in which you exist. if you are unconscious of the conflict, that is, the battle that is taking place between that self and the environment, if you are unconscious of that battle, then why do you seek further remedies? remain unconscious.

Successful socialism depends on the perfectibility of man. unless all, or nearly all, men are high-minded and clear-sighted, it isbound to be a rotten failure in any but a physical sense. even through it is altruism, socialism means materialism. you can guarantee the things of the body to every one, but you cannot guarantee the things of the spirit to every one; you can guarantee only that the opportunity to seek them shall not be denied to any one who chooses to seek them.

The cry for freedom is a sign of suppression. it will not cease to ring as long as man feels himself captive. as diverse as the cries for freedom may be, basically they all express one and the same thing: the intolerability of the rigidity of the organism and of the machine-like institutions which create a sharp conflict with the natural feelings for life. not until there is a social order in which all cries for freedom subside will man have overcome his biological and social crippling, will he have attained genuine freedom.

Freedom! that was the thought that sung in her heart so that even though the future was so dim, it was iridescent like the mist over the river where the morning sun fell upon it. freedom! not only freedom from a bond that irked, and a companionship which depressed her; freedom, not only from the death which had threatened, but freedom from the love that had degraded her; freedom from all spiritual ties, the freedom of a disembodied spirit, and with freedom, courage , and a valiant unconcern for whatever was to come.
Spiritual Morning Heart
In the military we are always looking for ways to leverage up our forces. having greater communications and command and control over your forces than your enemy has over his is a force multiplier. having greater logistics capability than the enemy is a force multiplier. having better-trained commanders is a force multiplier. perpetual optimism, believing in yourself, believing in your purpose, believing you will prevail, and demonstrating passion and confidence is a force multiplier. if you believe and have prepared your followers, the followers will believe.
