It was an autocracy.
But it was not as bad it was under Communism.
Reform was coming gradually to Russia but radicals did not have the time or patience for it.
And they made things far worse instead of better. That was Dostoevsky’s prescient insight.
Changing things too fast is as bad as not changing them at all.
“It was an autocracy.”
Yes, I said it was Tsarist Russia.
“But it was not as bad it was under Communism.”
I said that too: “...before the Bolsheviks made it even worse.”
“Changing things too fast is as bad as not changing them at all.”
Maybe sometimes. If something is evil it needs to be changed whether quickly or slowly.
