Book excerpt: Excerpt from Socialism and Individualism Nor do the Socialists offer us a statical heaven to be substituted for an equally statical world here present. English students of the last generation were accustomed to think of Socialism as a mere Utopia, spun from the humanity-intoxicated brains of various Frenchmen of the beginning of the nineteenth century. Down to the present generation every aspirant after social reform, whether Socialist or Individualist, naturally embodied his ideas in a detailed plan of a new social order, from which all contemporary evils were eliminated. Bellamy is but a belated Cabet, Babceuf, or Campanella. But modern Socialists have learnt the lesson of evolution better than their opponents, and it cannot be too often repeated that Socialism, to Socialists, is not a Utopia which they have invented, but a principle of social organization which they assert to have been discovered by the patient investigators into sociology, whose labours have distinguished the present century. That principle, whether true or false, has, during a whole generation, met with an ever-increasing, though often unconscious, acceptance by political administrators. I Thus it is the constant flux of things which underlies all the "difficulties" of Individualism. Whatever we may think of the existing social order, one thing is certain - namely, that it will undergo modification in the future as certainly and steadily as in the past. Those modifications will be partly the result of forces not consciously initiated or directed by human will. Partly, however, the modifications will be the results, either intended or unintended, of deliberate attempts to readjust the social environment to suit man's real or fancied needs. It is therefore not a question of whether the existing social order shall be changed, but of how this inevitable change shall be made. "Social problems." - In the present phase of acute social compunction, the mal-adjustments which occasion these modifications appear to us in the guise of " social problems."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Individualism: A System of Politics The range of subjects dealt with in the present volume is doubtless a wide one; but it will be found, I trust, that all have been treated consistently from what may be called the individualist standpoint. The merit of formulating this theory of government, and thus of laying the rough foundations upon which a sound art of Politics may be based, undoubtedly belongs to Mr. Herbert Spencer, who has contributed more to the scientific study of society than any other thinker - not even excepting Auguste Comte or John Austin. It is therefore with the greater regret that I find myself unable to accept either the principles or the conclusions set forth in Mr. Spencer's most popular publication on the subject - The Alan the State. Though this in no way lessens the great debt of gratitude which all seekers after truth in this field owe to him. And for myself I take this opportunity of acknowledging it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Men Versus the Man: A Correspondence Between Robert Rives La Monte, Socialist, and H. L. Mencken, Individualist This book is precisely what it pretends to be: a series of letters between friends. They were writ ten because the general subject of the organization of society was one which vastly attracted both of us, and because a space of three hundred miles made a more intimate discussion impossible. Into them there went, not so much a learned review of the evidence and the prophets, as a record of per sonal, and often transient opinions and impressions. Changes of position are to be noticed in more than one place, but inasmuch as the purpose of each disputant was to shake the stand of the other, this proof of occasional success may be accepted, it is hoped, without impatience. It was thought best to print the letters without attempting to trans form their epistolary freedom into a more sedate dialectic manner. They offer few new contribu tions of either fact or theory to the great questions they presume to discuss, but it is possible that they may be of some interest as showing how variously the accepted facts and theories appear and appeal to two somewhat eager inquirers.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Kafir Socialism: And the Dawn of Individualism, an Introduction to the Study of the Native Problem Racial questions, democratic ideals, and the problems of Socialism are in the air. The world is filling up fast, and aggregates, whether of nations, races or classes, are now being sifted drastically by the process of natural selection. Aristocracies, majorities, and minorities, whether of races or classes, seem to have entered on the acute stage of their probation. No matter where we turn, whether to South Africa with its Boer and Native problems, to America with its Negro and Japanese difficulties, to Russia with its nightmare, to India and Egypt with their agitations for self-government, to the Balkans with its tangle, to the Congo with its struggles and tragedies amid primaeval forests, to Australia with its fear of Kanakas and Japanese, to Mohammedans with their aspirations for Pan-Islamism, to Asia in its awakening, or to Europe with its rising tide of Democracy and Socialism, we are face to face with the struggle for existence that is taking place between groups of men that are fighting for very life. In the case of races and classes, just as in the case of individuals, those that are the most efficient in their adaptation to environment, and not those that simply give expression to the loftiest sentiment, will survive and dominate all rivals; while the weak and inefficient will go to the wall.

Download or read book A Catechism of Individualism Classic Reprint written by Henry Wilson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-15 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Catechism of Individualism They do, but it is a pure delusion. Organised means arranged like an organism. The human body is an organism. In it digestion, assimilation, nutrition, and expulsion of waste - processes which correspond to the feeding, clothing, travelling, and other activities of society - go on normally not only without the interference of the brain, which is the government, but without its knowledge. If, then, the five millions in London get without fail daily their milk, bread, papers, and everything they want without the interference of government, society in London is organised. Also in a free society government is carried on by certain units elected by the others for a definite and limited purpose. The cells of the brain are not elected by the cells of the bones and muscles. In a society the life of the units is higher and more varied than that of the whole, in an organism it is just the reverse. But Socialists say that production is now carried on in the interest and for the profit of the class that owns the means of production. Anyone can see the falsity of that statement. There are producers in my village who own neither land, house, nor factory, nor anything but such tools as they have bought with their savings as wage earners. The mightiest busi nesses have all had a similar origin. Then there is no such class as the Socialists speak of, bound together by a common interest against the rest of society?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Socialism for Students This little work consists of a series of articles reprinted from the columns of "The International Socialist Review," and written in answer to the request of its editor for a study course in Socialism. The aim of the author is to indicate in briefest outline some of the more salient points in the Socialist philosophy, so as to give the reader an inkling into the nature of the modern Socialist movement. At best this treatise can serve only as a framework. The much more important task of rearing the structure remains for the student. It is hoped that the course of reading, suggested in the appendix, will be found of service in this respect. So far as possible the author has followed the beaten path of Socialist thought and purposely tried to avoid phases of the question over which there is serious dispute. Where anything new is offered, of course he alone is responsible. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Larger Aspects of Socialism Classic Reprint written by William English Walling and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-10 with total page 450 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Larger Aspects of Socialism Socialism can be approached equally well from two opposite directions. It may be treated either as a social movement that aims to build up a new civilization, or as a new civilization that is gradually being embodied in a social movement. In my "Socialism As It Is" I followed the first method and discussed the economic and political features of Socialism exclusively; in the present volume I shall proceed in the reverse direction and deal exclusively with its larger aspects, its intellectual and spiritual side. As the two books were conceived and written together, they are parts of a single whole; but they are built on entirely independent foundations. In dealing with the economic and political movement I followed the inductive method; taking the activities of the movement itself as my point of departure, I concluded with its generalizations. In discussing the cultural movement I have followed the deductive method. Taking as my point of departure the philosophy of modern science, which I show to be wholly Socialistic in its bearings, and wholly dependent upon Socialism for its practical applications, I have first shown what results are reached by approaching each of the subjects I have discussed from this new standpoint, and I have then pointed out how the Socialist movement is, as a matter of fact, moving along the same line.

Download or read book The State the Individual written by William Sharp M'kechnie and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-07 with total page 468 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The State the Individual: An Introduction to Political Science, With Special Reference to Socialistic and Individualistic Theories The practical object of this Essay is twofold: first, to state impartially the points at issue between Socialism arid Individualism, and to mediate between their claims as rival schemes for the regeneration of society; and, secondly, to offer a contribution towards the solution of some of the problems to which both systems address themselves. A preliminary investigation is, however, necessary; since it is futile either to estimate the value of current opinions or to devise remedies for social evils, apart from the fundamental principles underlying all political phenomena alike. The volume has thus assumed the character of an introduction to the Theory of the State with special reference to one of its divisions - the methods and limits of government interference. In spite of a steadily increasing interest in social and political questions there is, perhaps, no topic upon which popular thought remains so lax and uninformed, no inquiry which has received so few attempts at systematic and unbiassed treatment as the legitimate province of law and government. The copious literature on the subject is polemical rather than constructive; negative rather than positive. Its destructive and unsystematic nature, however, is not the only characteristic calling for supplement if not for correction. Most existing treatises either confine their investigations to the economic features of the inquiry, to the neglect of those broader aspects which confront statesmen and legislators; or else they are the work of ardent partisans Of one or other of the competing theories in its most uncompromising attitude.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Collectivism and the Socialism of the Liberal School: A Criticism and an Exposition The original title of this book is Socialisme Collectiviste et Socialisme Liberal, Though a convinced Socialist myself I confess that M. Naquet's book struck me as a most concise and valuable contribution to the discussion of the social question. I felt that the scientific tone in which M. Naquet attempts the confutation of Collectivism deserves full consideration at the hands of English Socialists and of all those interested in the topics with which the book treats. Hence the appearance of this translation, in making which I have not allowed the commentator to usurp the functions of the translator. My chief aim has been to reproduce the thought of my author, and not to add any meretricious embellishments of my own. I cannot conclude without expressing my very sincere thanks to Mr. A. Larpent, whose counsel greatly lightened my task, and who kindly compared my translation with the original.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Proposed Roads to Freedom: Socialism, Anarchism and Syndicalism This book is an attempt to compress into a small compass a discussion which would require many vol umes for its adequate treatment. It was completed in April, 1918, in the last days before a period of imprisonment. At that time few would have ven tured to prophesy that the fighting would end before the New Year. The coming of peace has made the problems of reconstruction the more urgent. The author has attempted to examine briefly the growth and scope of those pro-war doctrines which aimed at fundamental economic change. These doctrines are considered first historically, then critically, and it is urged that, while none can be accepted en bloc, all have something to contribute to the picture of the future society which we should wish to create.
