In Patriotism Slavery of Our Times General Articles, Leo Tolstoy offers a profound and challenging exploration of the moral and political structures of the modern world. This collection of essays showcases Tolstoy's transition from world-renowned novelist to a radical social philosopher and Christian anarchist. Central to the work is a scathing critique of patriotism, which Tolstoy identifies not as a virtue, but as a tool used by governments to justify war and maintain control over the masses.
In the seminal essay The Slavery of Our Times, Tolstoy examines the dehumanizing effects of the industrial revolution and the economic systems that perpetuate a new form of servitude. He argues that the modern worker remains enslaved through taxes, land deprivation, and the persistent threat of state-sanctioned violence. These writings call for a fundamental reorganization of society based on the principles of non-resistance and universal love, rejecting the coercive authority of the state in favor of individual conscience. This collection remains a vital document for readers interested in pacifism, labor history, and the philosophical legacy of one of Russia's greatest thinkers.
