"The Gulag Archipelago (I & II)" are in my permanent library. I was devouring them when they came out three decades ago; between Solzhentisyn and Dostoyevsky I was launched into two decades' fascination with Russian authors (with one book by Turgenev as yet unfound).
Solzhenitsyn's "The First Circle" is on my list of favorites, along with "August 1914."

Now I follow, thank you. Actually, I don't disagree with this at all since I see the left as abandoning the uncertianty of democracy and majority rule for the assurance technocracy and expert rule.

I took a few minutes to decipher that post, and I must say I agree with a lot of what you said.

Where you and I diverge is on the Evolution/Communism thing. You seem to view Darwin and evolution as the beginning of the end for enlighted, moral civilization, while I think Marx, class struggle, and the "dictatorship of the proletariat" are the true dangers.
God bless you, I think we both have a common enemy in the BRAVE-NWO.
