If the published manifestoes of the European revolutionists are a fair expression of their real character and purposes, they must be next door to raving lunatics. They may have method in their madness, but it is madness of a most virulent type for all that. The late rupture between the Nihilists and Internationalists in Russia has brought to light a unique document which might be taken for a burlesque, if it were not incontestably authentic. It is the creed of a genuine revolutionist, drawn up in eleven articles by a leader of the Russian Internationals. It is hardly probable that many of the so-called social reformers at present push their views to the same extreme point, still it seems to be neither more nor less than the Communists' idea reduced to its logical and final expression. We quote three articles as translated by a Paris correspondent: The revolutionist despises all doctrines, and has renounced all science of this world, which he leaves to future generations. He knows but one science, that of destruction. For that, and that only he now, studies mechanics, physics, chemistry, and even medicine. For that he studies day and night the living realities of men, of characters, positions, and all the conditions of existing society in all possible spheres. His sole object is the most speedy destruction of this infamous state of society. He despises public opinion. He despises and detests the existing public moral law with its incitements and manifestations. That which is moral in his eyes is anything which will conduce to the triumph of the revolution. That which is immoral and criminal to him is anything which places an obstacle to the attainment of that object. Severe toward himself, he must be severe toward others. All tender and effeminate feelings of his family, friendship, love, gratitude, and even of honor, must be stifled in his breast by the one cold passion of revolution. For him there is but one repose, but one consolation, but one recompense, but one satisfaction—the success of the revolution. The “infamous state of society” is that which exists in every nation of Europe, and those who have undertaken its “speedy destruction,” preparatory to a new start, have a serious job on hand. It is all very fine for the reformer to talk about a glorious revolution which will at once and effectually destroy the present state of society and substitute a better; but how can he do it otherwise than in the manner set forth in the manifesto, by stifling all feelings of friendship, love, gratitude, and even honor; by detesting all public opinion and moral law; by burning cities and devastating provinces; and, in short, by making the destruction of life and property his sole study and religion? It is well to call things by their right names, and the above plain statement of just what the International proposes to do should make well-meaning reformers hesitate before entering that organization.
