Liberty destroys social equality. Equality restrains liberty. Solzhenitsyn is a little late with his criticism. This theme has been raised many times since the French Revolution. It took Frederick Engels, however, to show that, to the bourgeoisie, these slogans symbolized freedom of trade, freedom for private property and freedom to exploit the workers.
Law can never be higher than the social system that begets it.
It's fine to talk against violence. It meant one thing when such truly great people as the utopian socialist Saint-Simon abjured violence, because he drew the conclusion that industry and commerce should be in the hands of the people. Instead of prating about abjuring violence, he erected an economic program that favored the masses. But Solzhenitsyn's program is that of the exploiting and oppressing bourgeoisie. Just talking about violence in the abstract conceals rather than reveals the nature of the bourgeois system of private ownership.
