Three political essays by
Jack London
Political essays by Jack London.
"As yet, to the average bourgeois mind, socialism
is merely a menace, vague and formless. The average member of the capitalist
class, when he discusses socialism, is ondemned an ignoramus out of his
own mouth. He does not know the literature of socialism, its philosophy,
nor its politics. He wags his head sagely and rattles the dry bones of
dead and buried ideas. His lips mumble mouldy phrases, such as, 'Men are
not born equal and never can be;' 'It is Utopian and impossible;' 'Abstinence
should be rewarded;' 'Man will first have to be born again;' 'Cooperative
colonies have always failed;' and 'What if we do divide up? in ten years
there would be rich and poor men such as there are today.' It surely is
time that the capitalists knew something about this socialism that they
feel menaces them." (Jack London)
