Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Plain Analysis of Socialism My Dear Reader: You who are busy, whose energies have been taxed heavily by much work, manual or mental, and perhaps more heavily by that interminable worry that arises from a feeling of uncertainty; or you who for want of opportunity, inclination or any other cause, have not become familiar with the history of the past nor studied carefully the philosophy of human events, it is for you especially that these pages are intended and to you that they are addressed. It is needless to say that this work is not intended as a great literary production; for its perusal will easily disclose to a critic the fact that it is not. And if the style should seem abrupt or coarse to those of refined literary taste, I trust that they will bear with and excuse it; for, above all things, I desire to be thoroughly understood by all. To this end there are two things necessary: First, that I write plainly; and secondly, that you read carefully. How well I have done my part you may judge. Will you do your part? And, if, from any cause you fail to get the full meaning, will you do yourself and me the justice to re-read carefully? A certain order has been pursued, so that a thorough understanding of any portion depends largely on a knowledge of what has gone before. I have not hesitated to use the pronouns "I" or "me," as the case may be, and, to relieve the monotony, have frequently called in the editorial "we." Every trade has its shop talk, which is easily understood by all those of that trade, but Greek to those without. Literary men have theirs. I have been careful to avoid indulging in the use of literary shop talk. My purpose in the present work is to present a brief, plain, simple yet full, comprehensive and philosophical view of the whole subject in its essential features. While I desire to be brief, I do not wish to sacrifice clearness for brevity, and so, in dealing with topics that seemed important, I have not hesitated to introduce elaborate illustration. If I have given a greater prominence to the moral phase of the subject than most Socialist writers, I have no apologies to make, for I believe that notwithstanding the tendency of capitalism to uproot, obliterate and destroy it,man still has a conscience, to which the message of Socialism, if properly presented, will appeal.
