Excerpt from The Meaning of Socialism

William Morris, his later association for over twenty years with J. Keir Hardie, his colleagues in the Independent Labour Party, and his closest comrade and colleague, his wife. He is indebted to Edward Carpenter, Bellamy, Bernard Shaw, Hyndman, Bax, Wells, Macdonald, Snowden, Kautsky, and other well-known Socialist writers for many fresh points of insight and criticism alike of Socialism and of existing society.

The author does not claim for this book that it is an authoritative statement of Socialism, or of the views of any Socialist school or party. There is, and can be, no authoritative statement of Socialism Certain inferences concerning the future evolution of industry and society have been drawn from history and biology by promi nent Socialist thinkers, notably by Karl Marx, which have been denominated Scientific Social ism. But these inferences, like all other sup positions concerning the probabilities of human action or events, have no validity other than the conviction they bring to each mind.
