The End of Politics
From: The Great Class War 1914-1918
$2.40
1914. When war breaks out, the elite is delighted, and understandably so: strikes and
other social troubles suddenly come to an end, the revolutionary threat goes up
in smoke, and the political and social-economic position of the still-dominant
combination of nobility and upper-middle class is “frozen.” The democratization
process, previously seemingly irresistible, is brought to a standstill and even rolled
back; and it proves possible to undo many of the social gains made by the working
class before the war . . .
