Description
Excerpt from The Case Against Socialism: Plainly Stated for the Man in the Street
I desire to have it distinctly understood that an objection to Socialism and an aversion to Socialistic legislation does not necessarily imply contentment with the existing state of affairs. I am not one of those who calmly and placidly tell you We are very well as we are. We are not very well as we are. There are many anomalies to be removed, many wrongs to be redressed, much useless suffering to be relieved. But there is no one remedy which will cure all the ills of the body politic, just as there is no one remedy which will cure all diseases of the physical body, although many quack nostrums are advertised which make this claim.
Socialism is the purple pill of politics, warranted by those who prescribe it to be a sure and certain cure for the manifold social evils which civilization has brought in its train. I propose very brie?y to examine its claims.
