Excerpt from Socialism Vs; Civilization

Socialism and Socialistic agitation are not new things either in this country or in the world at large. Dreamers have been picturing ideal states of society at least as far back as Plato. Their pictures have impressed every generation and stirred a profound emotional interest which, in many cases, became a religion.

Idealistic Socialism, however, has made very little headway from the time of Plato to the present year. Only a certain proportion of idealists are born in any one generation. The great majority are blessed, if not with a saving sense of humor, at least with a sufficient regard for facts to prevent them from believing that a thing is true merely because it is pleasant to dream about.
