"Unpalatable Values"

From "Unpalatable Values: Culture as Gastronomy" by Andrei Navrozov
in Chronicles:

The Russian verb spurt, with its sound of milk hitting the pail, is
like our word for life. The forcible sundering of the peasant and his
cow, no less succintly, is the abiding aim of authoritarian
government, which, abhorring the individual's self-sufficiency that
threatens its nihilist absolute, seeks to suppress life itself.
