I carried the manuscript to Anvers, then to Ostend and to Havre. One of my co-workers found it, and having read it, advised me to publish without waiting longer. (R)n reflection, I have followed this advice: th problems which concerned me in 1914 have not ceased to be problems. On the contrary, they will assert themselves after peace comes, with a force multiplied a hundred-fold by the crushing financial burdens that the war will leave behind it.

Our contention is that nearly all the tendencies upon which Marx counted have failed him, and, consequently, that from the point of view of Marx's own economic in terpretation of history the social revolution is but a revolutionary utopia.

Download or read book State Socialism written by William English Walling and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-12 with total page 710 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from State Socialism: Pro and Con; Official Documents and Other Authoritative Selections Showing the World-Wide Replacement of Private by Governmental Industry Before and During the War The terms State Socialism and collectivism are em ployed with several meanings. But they are chiefly used to mean the policy of extending the economic functions of the State. When the larger and more important economic functions of a nation are operated by its government that nation has adopted State Social ism. When a nation has consistently and deliberately enacted measures leading in this direction, and when the regime of State Socialism is so near that no radical turning aside is probable, that nation may be said to have adopted a State Socialist policy. Is every economic activity of a government to be viewed as a step in the direction of collectivism or State Socialism? Cer tainly not. Every sovereign government has military and police functions, and these always have an economic aspect. All mili tary departments produce at least some part of the munitions of war. Most of them produce a large part of their military supplies. A government which changes its policy of producing only a small part of these supplies, and undertakes - as the United States is doing today - to produce a somewhat larger part is merely adopting the usual custom of governments. This is certainly not collectivism. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Case for Socialism In almost every great controversy, you will find, if you trace men's differences far enough back, that those differences arise from their failure to see clearly some quite simple and primary fact upon which the whole controversy is based. So it is with this controversy about Socialism. Underlying all the discussion about Socialism there are certain conceptions of the meaning of wealth and the nature of property. Socialism is an attack upon the institution of private property in land and capital; and the primary question which must be answered before Socialism can be either-advocated or opposed intelligently is: What is the real nature of this institution of private property in land and capital?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Socialist Illusion: Being a Critical Review of the Principles of State Socialism Certain genial parliamentarian casually remarked in the course of one of his public speeches that we are all Socialists now. Exactly what inspired this astonishing utterance cannot readily be determined, but it is to be feared that a Close Observer would have detected in the politician's eye the suggestion of a twinkle as the words were spoken. The true orator knows his audience, and there are times when a neat but unsuspected appeal to the gallery effectively disarms opposition and ensures attention. The statement may only have been induced by the desire to humour a section of his audience. Certain it is that for us it has no meaning, or else we are wholly ignorant of what a Socialist is and what he strives. And hopes to accomplish.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Democracy Versus Socialism: A Critical Examination of Socialism, as a Remedy for Social Injustice and an Exposition of the Single Tax Doctrine A movement which draws its vitality, as Socialism does, from the poverty and haunting sense of injustice of its rank and file, and from the moral elevation and unselfish pity of the leaders, cannot be successfully met even by the most triumphant demonstration of the impracticability of the remedies which it proposes. Revolting against the injustice of existing social arrangements and the evils thence resulting, preferring the risk of failure to ignoble acquiescence, the advocates of Socialism are, not unnaturally, deaf to merely negative criticism. It has seemed to me that this is the main reason why the many and able expositions of the impracticability of the industrial proposals of Socialism have failed to exercise any marked retarding influence upon its progress. Necessary and beneficial as such expositions are, they do not touch the heart of the matter. Failing to probe the socialist creed to its bottom, they do not show that it is based on an insufficient and faulty analysis of the causes of social injustice. Disregarding the legitimacy of the social revolt which has taken the form of Socialism, they fail to suggest any alternative method for the removal of the evils which have provoked it.

Download or read book Socialism and Co Operation Classic Reprint written by Leonard Woolf and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-03 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Socialism and Co-Operation Smillie, and Trotsky, and Mr. Sidney Webb. I have called each of these gentlemen a socialist, because each would call himself a socialist. I believe in freedom of thought, and it seems to me absurd to forbid anyone to think and call himself a socialist if he wishes to do so. It is, however, notorious that Lenin and Trotsky would deny that many of the others mentioned were socialists, while some Of the others would deny' that Lenin and Trotsky's system of society had any right to call itself socialism. It is essential that a writer on socialism should face this difficulty and make his position clear at the outset. I am aware that, although I call myself and think myself a socialist, many other socialists will deny that what I call socialism is really socialism. I cannot return the compliment. I believe that most people who honestly consider themselves to be socialists are such. Lenin and Mr. Sidney Webb are both socialists, because they both wish the foundations of social organization to be Of a certain kind. They may differ fundamentally on other, and possibly equally impor tant, questions, on, e.g., the means by which the social revolution may be attained, but they do agree on this vital point they wish to substitute a socialistic for a capitalistic society.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The New Socialism: An Impartial Inquiry The present book occupies, so far as I am aware, new ground among English books on Socialism. The larger historical books on the subject st0p short of recent years, and leave unchronicled much Socialist thought and action of the utmost importance. My aim has been to give as briefly and fairly as possible an account of the Socialist movement over the world during the last ten years. Like everything else, Socialism has undergone a process of change, and must be studied in the works of its latest authorities. Extreme utterances of individuals have been largely disregarded. In such a movement as Socialism much exaggeration was inevitable. But Socialism has its great thinkers and students, men as candid, as thoughtful, and as earnest as any to be found in other camps. These thinkers are constructive as well as destructive. They are not afraid to acknowledge the immense difficulties that have to be conquered ere the goal is reached, and they have taken them up in earnest, admitting in many cases that they are not yet completely solved. That Socialism is a movement full of mighty import to mankind, and that the questions which it raises may at any moment present themselves in their most practical form, is now obvious to all. It is only by understanding what Socialists ask for, and why they ask it, by studying their views and arguments in their best, most considered and most impressive form that any fruitful discussion can be carried on.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Plain Examination of Socialism In Book I., I state certain fundamental facts of human nature, as well as certain economic principles which I believe to have the character of immutable natural laws. In Book II. Is given a brief description of the present system of human society with respect to its economic dealings; the socialistic attack on this present system, the weakness of the objections thereto, and the insuperable difficulties of remedying them. In Book III we step into the socialists' camp, take up their general proposals, examine them in detail, and show what, if anything, they must lead to. I have endeavoured to treat the subject strictly from an economic standpoint, believing that socialism in any form can only be combated successfully by presenting valid economic arguments against it.

Book excerpt: 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 briefly to examine its claims. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Recent American Socialism Classic Reprint written by Richard T. Ely and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-06 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Recent American Socialism "I presume you have felt, as have I, the sting of criticism and censure - of misrepresentation because discussing this topic of socialism at all." These are words written to me in a letter recently received, by a friend who is professor of political economy in a prominent Western university. They indicate at once a difficulty in the way of the economist. The topics he discusses are so vital, that any presentation of them is bound to be misconstrued in some quarter. Nevertheless, there seems to be only one course for an honest man, which is to say his word and patiently endure misunderstanding and even malicious abuse. But it may not be out of place for me to state the purpose of this monograph. The aim of the present paper is so clear that only unfortunate experience in the past leads me to explain it in the preface. When my "French and German Socialism" was published, one ill-natured critic complained because my opinions were not distinguished from the opinions I was endeavoring to expound. This criticism was echoed in other places. Now it had not occurred to me that it was necessary' to thrust my opinions upon the reader of the history of French and German Socialism. In reading works covering like ground I had often been annoyed by childish criticism such as must occur to every boy, criticism thrust into the midst of the presentation of some theoretical system, so I resolved to abstain from anything of the kind and thought it sufficient to let the facts speak for themselves. The aim of this monograph is quite similar.. It is primarily a presentation and not a refutation. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
