Civilizational unity is not identical to political unity - Example is Politically disunited Canada and USA coming together to crush Nazis, in defence of Western values.
Another example: Politically United USSR splitting inspite of strict political unity under KGB

My @HarvardHBS living group is blown by case study on Mumbai’s Dabbawallahs. Can’t fathom how they achieve Six Sigma Just In Time supply chain management without using tech. Sometimes we take things around us for granted. Next time I see a Dabbawallah, I will doff my Gandhi cap. https://t.co/nDapWKyMXO

The perversion of the revolutionaries from fighting the British to becoming British lackeys was done in a very subtle manner by Communists. Tactics used were similar to those used by Sufis to convert Hindus to Islam, as @sarkar_swati @dikgaj and I show. https://t.co/xMMFnhly7f

The world has had only half a dozen successful revolutions
and most even of these were very like failures; yet it is by great & noble failures that humanity advances.-

Love has a place in politics, but it is the love for one’s country, for one’s countrymen, for the glory, greatness and happiness of the race, the divine ananda of self-immolation for one’s fellows... the ecstasy of relieving their sufferings, the joy of seeing one’s blood flow for country and freedom, the bliss of union in death with the fathers of the race.

A thread from Rosenberg & Birdzell’s “How the West grew rich” (1985):
“..the dominant fact about economic institutions that emerged in Europe after the decline of feudalism is their wholly pragmatic character & their lack of ideological commitment to any economic principle..” 1/n

“Neither the Communist Manifesto nor Das Capital employed the term capitalism, although Marx did use it in 1877 in correspondence...its first use in the sense of an economic system was in Better Times, a book by Douai in 1884.” 4/n
“The system that generated Western economic growth evolved before it was recognized as a system or advocated as an ideology...” 2/n
Practice precedes theory. That’s the insight in this.
Theology follows success.

Assuming a theory vacuum before a particular date is perhaps not accurate. Darwin's theory of Evolution also begins at the middle alerts Sri Aurobindo and goes on to complete the cycle by incorporating Involution. Rothbard's portrayal of man and purpose of action too is inchoate.
