...revolutionary spirit in Marx's Europe was essentially anarchistic. It was the revolt of men alienated by industrializing change from the land, from their tools, from a sense of their status-however humble-in a society that they understood.

In his view, nothing could or should stop the march of industrialization and its political and social consequences...
...justice to shape a way of being that was simultaneously on the side of progress and in revolt against its present villains who controlled both government and the means of production. This ambivalent way of dealing with the stress of rapid social change retains its appeal for many men today...
...rapidly changing world, men apparently need a clear image of the "enemy" responsible for their anxiety and frustration. Hence the recent discovery of something called "the Establishment."

It is led by left-leaning Dr. George Habash, 44, a Palestinian Arab from Lydda who long ago turned from medicine to the violent practice of Palestine politics. Last week...
