The last revolution

Here it comes …

Matt Damon:

“The problem today isn’t civil disobedience, it is civil obedience… Our problem is the numbers of people all over the world who have obeyed the dictates of the leaders of their government and have gone to war, and millions have been killed because of this obedience.”

Actor Donald Sutherland:

“I want Hunger Games to stir up a revolution”

Have we not been warned? From the Orthodox Survival Course (http://orthodoxaustralia.org/ennobling-literature/):

“The French Revolution and the whole revolutionary movement of our times, which is the application of rationalistic ideas to the changing of society, the changing of the whole outward order of life”

“In his Confessions of a Revolutionist Monsieur Proudhon has written these remarkable words: „It is wonderful how we ever stumble on theology in all our political questions!‟ There is nothing here to cause surprise except the surprise of Monsieur Proudhon. Theology, inasmuch as it is the science of God, is the ocean which contains and embraces all sciences, as God is the ocean which contains and embraces all things.” And this whole book is an exposure of liberal[ism], first of mainly socialism as being anti-God. And liberalism he doesn‟t even have much respect for at all, because he sees it‟s only a halfway between socialism and monarchy. And there one book here he quotes somehow excerpts from this book [Viereck].

As Metternich called these revolutionaries the “presumptuous men,” Donoso Cortes called them “the selfworshipping men.”xxxviii And he liked them better than the liberals because they had their own dogmas at least. You can fight against them on dogmatic grounds. He saw that the ending of religious influence on politics, that is, the atheist revolution, would produce in the future the most gigantic and destructive despotism ever known. In fact, in one of his talks before the Parliament in Spain, 1852, he told them that the end of the revolution is Antichrist, we can see on the horizon in the next century. In that respect he‟s quite profound. Here he gives some general quotes on the liberals and socialists.
