Prof. Felix Adler
On Socialism.
I do not believe that socialism is PRACTICAL. -Wherever the Socialists have come into power, as in France, when they have taken up the reins of government in any measure they have dropped their doctrinaire theories.
Socialism would tend toward LACK OF INDIVIDUAL FREE-DOM and the heavy conservation of the masses would rule. That would tend to discourage human progress.
Socialism would act as a damper in distributing human talent.
Great moral objections stand against the Socialist Propaganda.
I do not believe in the sort of moral equality and fraternity that Socialism produces.
