3274.562 - 3307.956 Simon Sebag Montefiore

Because to go back to what you were saying, This isn't the 30s. This isn't 1914 either. History doesn't repeat itself. Even despite Hegel and Marx's great joke about it, history plays out as tragedy and then as comedy or farce. But actually, history doesn't follow linears or lovely parabolas History exists in spurts and spasms and contingencies, and history rebounds. One commandeers its story.
