When Familiar and Commonly Used Words Lose Their Meaning

According to comrade Solzhenitsyn (he/him/his), our dream of Utopia is close. He wrote that it happens at a juncture at which settled concepts suddenly become hazy, lose their precise contours, at which our familiar and commonly used words lose their meaning, become empty shells, and methods which have been reliable for many centuries no longer work. It’s the sort of turning point where the hierarchy of values which we have venerated, and which we use to determine what is important to us and what causes our hearts to beat is starting to rock and may collapse.

 

Long live the revolution!
