Which book would this be? His catalog, the great bulk of it anyway, is quite prolific.

Crime and Punishment, obviously.

But he was a russian empire/orthodoxy apologist through and through, except for a brief period early on (which earned him the gulag).

Wow, I got something completely different from that book. It's crazy how two people can read the same thing and have drastically different takeaways.

In fact what he's talking about is a very common analysis of Crime and Punishment in literary criticism.

Just think: if that's what he took away, he probably thinks killing old ladies is good enlightened capitalism.

I think presenting the philosophy you disagree with as leading to murdering innocent people is bad writing.

Much better to say they are Nazis or rapists or both, and be done with it :)
