It may be taken for granted, therefore, that no long argument is needed to show that revolution does not mean, and need not involve, social chaos. I ndeed, the whole tenor of history would go to prove that social chaos is worse than useless as a preparation for social betterment. It should be understood that chaos and confusion and reckless violence are as much opposed to anything accepted in this book as they are to the feelings of business men. Revolution is an entirely different thing. This is not an apologia, but an exposition of certain historic ideals, and their application to the circumstances of our own time. Clearly, it may be argued that they have no such application :it may be believed that society is sufficiently well organized or sufficiently progressive towards reform for revolutionary ideals to be unmeaning or even impertinent. To suppose the contrary implies a moral judgment adverse to the main features of our present society ;and it must be admitted that sucji an adverse judgment is accepted as valid in what follows. This, however, does not make the book a propaganda pamphlet.
