Karel Capek. (№ 305876)

The modern world does not require hatred, he needs the good will, need harmony, cooperation and a much more kind of moral climate; I think that even the most common a little love and warmth is able to do miracles. I protect the modern world not because it is the world of the rich, but because this is the world of the poor, and in addition, the world of those who is in the middle between the millstones of capital and class hatred of the proletariat, those who in any way supports and retains much of human values. I don't know close to ten thousand of the richest people and cannot therefore judge them, but I judged that class, called the bourgeoisie, for which I rebuked in a rotten pessimism.
So I have a right in some measure to speak up for those whose vices I, of course, also don't close my eyes. The proletariat cannot replace this class, but maybe some way to join him. Proletarian culture does not exist, what would be a clever aesthetic program, nor was written. Just as there is no purely ethnographic, aristocratic or religious culture; all that remains in the culture, associated with medium layers with the so-called intelligentsia.
Quote Explanation: The article "Why am I not a Communist?" 1924. Translated from the Czech by I. Bernstein.
