Defenders of democracy must now determine not only how to create jobs and ensure material prosperity for today’s young people, but also how to feed their souls on the way. If they fail, as we have seen, others will fill the void, potentially with a call for mayhem in the name of messianic futurity.
民主卫士现在不但必须决定如何为当代青年创造就业岗位和确保物质繁荣，还必须决定在此过程中如何培养他们的灵魂。如果他们失败——如我们已经看到的——那么其他人就会趁虚而入，可能打着救世主的未来的旗号行残暴之实。
