Admiration of the proletariat, like that of dams, power stat

Summary

This quote suggests that in the machine age, the admiration for the working class (proletariat) is similar to the admiration for technological advancements like dams, power stations, and airplanes. It implies that this admiration is a reflection of the prevailing ideology of that era, which prioritizes efficiency, industrialization, and mechanization. Just as these technological marvels are considered valuable and praiseworthy, so too is the working class seen as valuable and deserving of admiration within this context.

It is not enough for us to prostrate ourselves under the tree which is Creation, and to contemplate its tremendous branches filled with stars. We have a duty to perform, to work upon the human soul, to defend the mystery against the miracle, to worship the incomprehensible while rejecting the absurd; to accept, in the inexplicable, only what is necessary; to dispel the superstitions that surround religion --to rid God of His Maggots.
