"Every revolution evaporates and leaves behind only the slime of a new bureaucracy"

- Franz Kafka

About this Quote

This quote by Franz Kafka is a commentary on the cyclical nature of transformations. He suggests that every transformation, no matter how noble its objectives, eventually fails and is changed by a brand-new bureaucracy. This bureaucracy is typically overbearing and corrupt, and it is the only thing that remains after the revolution has vaporized. Kafka is cautioning us that revolutions can be temporary and that the exact same overbearing systems can be recreated in their wake. He is also recommending that the only method to break this cycle is to produce a new system that is not based upon administration and injustice. This quote serves as a reminder that we must be vigilant in our efforts to produce a much better world and to make sure that the exact same overbearing systems do not return.
