AmericanUnabomberTheodoreKaczynski:“TheIndustrialRevolutionandits conse-

KaczynskiandHitlerare unusualamongtwentieth-centuryanti-capitalistsin that,
whenit cameto usheringin violenceagainstcapitalists,thesetwo mendid the dirtywork

people,but vie to do so throughthe intermediaryof governmentin the formof regula-
tionson otherpeople’s property.As the victimsof suchlegislationare expectedto com-

pliance” wonfromthe pointof the InvisibleGun.Whatis notablein Kaczynski’s case,
though,is thatvariousanti-capitalistacademiciansvoicedsympathyfor the bomber’s
critiqueon the IndustrialRevolution.Suchscholarswouldnevermailbombsto their
enemies,to be sure,but theyvoicedopensympathyfor the Unabomber’s complaints
