Fantasy...................................

I blame Communism.  I blame Fascism.  I blame psychotherapy.  They—and a boatload of other well-intentioned ideologies that evolved during the mass-culture, industrialized, dehumanizing epoch of the late 19th and early 20th centuries—all posited the same fantasy.  They all preached that human nature was perfectible and that, thereby, evil could be overcome.  It can't.

-Steven Pressfield, as excerpted from Do The Work!
