Ernst Bloch, “Can Hope Be Disappointed?”
"Though it was sheer nonsense, no one can overlook the implication that even serious expressions of faith, if brought to bear on the course of real events abstractly and without constant control, are liable to lead to their opposite. Especially if the intent is noble, as—in principle—in pure humanism, or compared to fascism, which, promising murder and ruination at its very inception, can hardly be discredited in practice"(Bloch 340).
