The Relevance of Richard Burke

Richard Burke held views about the organization of politics which have proved to be falsifiable. He believed in aristocratic order was necessary for stability in society, a subsequent history has proved this to be inaccurate. All reform may encounter reaction, radical, revolutionary attempts at change are likely to break violent reaction. This will only be quelled by the intervention of military force and you will then be in the paradoxical lot to say heavily ironic position of delivering a reform program by means of a military dictatorship.
