The Piatonic, a Novel About the Relationship of Theory and Practice
The novel is really a novel about the relationship of theory to practice. And rubeshof, throughout the entire novel, believes that the theory is correct. The problem that he's trying to solve is, how does this ideal translate into genecide show trials and gulogs? That's that's the problem he's Trying to figure out. I don't consider this to be a true anti-communist novel because he never considers the possibility that the ideal is wrong. He thinks marxism as an ideal is correct. It is not true. Not beautiful on paper,. It’s not beautiful on paper, it is. An immoral, evil ideal.
