Title	Goldman, Emma 1925-11-08
Abstract	Letter to Havelock Ellis, 11/8/25. Writes that she has been in London, England since 10/24/25 doing a series of lectures on Russian Drama. Says that she appreciates Ellis' appraisal of her book DISILLUSIONMENT IN RUSSIA. Tells Ellis that she agrees with his assessment that violent revolutions will not produce an ideal state but that sometimes they are necessary because "old institutions have a tremendous tenacity to hang on." States that her experience in Russia has made her understand that "intensive educational work" needs to done before a revolution because afterwards everything will not take care of itself. Writes that the Russian revolutionists were "whipped into line" after the revolution and made "submissive to the communist state." Informs Ellis that "revolutions are nothing else but the breaking point of accumulated evolutionary forces." Concludes that the Russians have learned nothing from the French Revolution and have gone on to repeat it.
