What is the best translation of Dante's Divine Comedy?

P.S. Butters belongs in the Inferno: fourth bolgia of the 8th circle with the other trannies who tried to magically change their gender.

True anti-capitalism is romantic in nature. The Marxist love of progress only fuels the march of capitalist technology.

The only true anti-capitalism must be romantic. Marx accepted progress, he accepted industrialization, embraced free trade, looked upon the destruction of the guilds as a necessity. If capitalism is destined to be replaced by socialism, then socialism is nothing more than capitalism's product and shares in its genealogy. True revolution is reaction. It must be a politics of grievance, nostalgia, and emotion. It must utilize the power of irrationality to mobilize support. War must become an act of emotional catharsis, isolationism the recollection of a vengeful memory, resentment must be channeled through political figures capable of wielding it and destabilizing existing institutions. They must be empty human beings themselves. The pain of private life must become public decree. Be open in the intention to turn back the clocks and reorient society to a higher and nobler good.
