Excerpt from Democracy Versus Socialism: A Critical Examination of Socialism, as a Remedy for Social Injustice and an Exposition of the Single Tax DoctrineA 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.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
