1/ Metternich saw all the most essential points: that revolutions are not spontaneous outbursts or mass phenomena, but rather artificial phenomena that are provoked by forces that have the same function in the healthy body of people & states that bacteria have in the generation
2/ of diseases in the human body; that nationalism, as it emerged in his own day & age, was only the mask of revolution; that revolution was essentially an international event & that the individual revolutionary phenomena are only localized and partial manifestations of the same
3/ subversive current of global proportions. Metternich also saw very clearly the concatenation of the various degrees of revolution; liberalism and constitutionalism unavoidably pave the way for democracy, which in turn paves the way for socialism,
4/ which in turn paves the way for socialism, which in turn paves the way for radicalism and finally for communism—the entire liberal revolution of the Third Estate only being instrumental in preparing the way for the revolution of the Fourth Estate. #Evola
