He Was the Anti-Biden\nBy\xa0JOHN ZMIRAK\xa0Published on\xa0August 31, 2022\nJohn Zmirak\nWhen I heard that he\u2019d died, I found my eyes welling with tears. I realized that\xa0Mikhail Gorbachev\xa0had made an enormous difference to my life, to all of our lives. He enriched them immeasurably, at the cost of ruining his own. \u201cGreater love hath no man,\u201d I thought, and said a quick, fervent prayer for his soul.\nHere was a man who grew up in the heart of the godless, authoritarian Soviet system, and rose to its top. Who believed in the ideals which it had taught him, even as his family had suffered under Stalin. He survived the viciously Machiavellian world of Soviet politics, and rose to supreme power over one of the world\u2019s two superpowers.\nBut once he held that power, unlike each of his predecessors, Gorbachev didn\u2019t spend his time and energy clinging to it for its own sake. (Rent the black comedy\xa0The Death of Stalin\xa0for a truthful, satirical look at the internal hatreds and rivalries that plagued the Soviet system.) Nor did he grasp at the power his nation wielded to dominate others, throughout eastern Europe and much of the Third World.\nImagining a Humane Socialism. Of Course it Proved Imaginary\nInstead, Mikhail Gorbachev looked honestly at the poisonous effects that Marxist socialism was having on his Russian homeland, and the satellite states it commanded. He saw the vast economic irrationalities, the deep corruption, the paranoid fear of openness and new ideas. And he believed he could change things, could return the vast socialist empire to the humanistic ideals that lay so deeply buried at its origins.\nGorbachev read the Utopian poetry of the young\xa0Marx\xa0and sought to recover that vision and make it real. He dismantled much of the apparatus of oppression that held the Soviet empire together, and encouraged his fellow Communist leaders in the East to do the same.\nOf course he failed. Socialism isn\u2019t really humanistic after all, but subhumanist. It gets the human species wrong, and even our phylum, mistaking our mammalian kind for some kind of social insect, like a termite. (Just so, secular libertarians propose a political system perfectly suited for lizards who breed by hooking up briefly and randomly, then abandon their eggs in the sand.)\nHe Wouldn\u2019t Punish His People\nMany, many political leaders over millennia have dared greatly and failed, pointed their nations to dreams that turned out to be mere fantasies. Typically, such leaders prodigally poured out the lives of their helpless subjects, in vast schemes of conquest or impossible reforms. When their programs failed, they stormed at and punished their citizens for \u201cfailing\u201d them, for not living up to the grandeur of their visions.\nSo Hitler in his bunker cursed the Germans for proving \u201cunworthy\u201d of him, and Mao at the hapless Chinese who insisted on starving to death in their tens of millions. So did Hillary Clinton and her party, who raged that the American people stabbed them in the back with their votes in 2016.\nFrom the Brink of Nuclear War to Peace Talks with Reagan\nNot Gorbachev. He doggedly tried to implement his new, impossible \u201csocialism with a human f
