"I am aware that many people use harsh words for conservatism, saying that the peasants are stupid, backward, and that their lives are boring and bleak. I know, they say, it is definitely monotony for a person to always have to do the same twenty tasks on a farm - but of course it is always extremely fun and gratifying to do one thing hour after hour, day after day in the factory.

I am aware that many people use harsh words for conservatism, saying that the peasants are stupid, backward, and that their lives are boring and bleak. I know, they say, it is definitely monotony for a person to always have to do the same twenty tasks on a farm - but of course it is always extremely fun and gratifying to do one thing hour after hour, day after day in the factory.
""Tisztában vagyok vele, hogy sokan illetik durva szavakkal a konzervativizmust, mondván, hogy a parasztok ostobák, elmaradottak, s hogy unalmas, sivár az életük. Tudom, azt mondják, az ember számára mindenképpen monotóniát jelent, ha mindig ugyanazt a húsz teendőt kell végeznie egy farmon -, ugyanakkor természetesen mindig rendkívül szórakoztató és örömteli egyetlen dolgot csinálni óráról órára, nap nap után a gyárban."
