Roger Scruton Quotes

There Is A Particular View, Still Popular Among Left-wing Intellectuals In The West, That The Soviet System Was "socialism Gone Wrong." This Thought Expresses Precisely The Major Political Danger Of Our Times, Which Is The Belief That Politics Involves A Choice Of Systems, As A Means To An End, So That One System May "go Wrong" While Another "goes Right." The Truth Is That Socialism Is Wrong, Precisely Because It Believes That It Can Go Right - Precisely Because It Sees Politics Asa Means To An End. Politics Is A Manner Of Social Existence, Whose Bedrock Is The Given Obligations From Which Our Social Identities Are Formed. Politics Is A Form Of Association Which Is Not A Means To An End, But An End In Itself. It Is Founded On Legitimacy, And Legitimacy Resides In Our Sense That We Are Made By Our Inheritance.
