On @CoreyRobin's "The Reactionary Mind" and US conservatism: A Thread #TheoryTime
Robin begins with a story about the modern age - that under a variety of banners, movements and ideals groups of people have organised for freedom, equality, democracy and at every point they have been resisted, often violently.

"Under socialism what will you do without the motivation of wages?"

For Wilde, the answer to this was quite simple - freed from work man would be able to spend their time on self-cultivation.
In Wilde's writing self-indulgence carries with it a glimpse of a utopia, where all might be so free...
