Quote by Leo Tolstoy

When politics and home life have become one and the same thing, [...] then,[...] it is evident that we will be in a state of total liberty or anarchy.

Summary

This quote suggests that when politics and home life become indistinguishable, it signifies a state where there is either complete freedom or chaos. The merging of politics and personal life implies a loss of boundaries between the public and private spheres, blurring the distinction between what should be separate domains. In such a state, individuals might have unrestricted liberties, free from oppressive forces. However, it also implies that without proper governance and order, this excessive freedom may lead to anarchy, where there is a lack of control and lawlessness.
