ABSTRACT
Let me sum up then what it is in Communism which appears to me to mark a most notable step 82forward in the progress of civilization. The mental attitude which is implied in the social organization under Communism is incomparably more important than any professed philosophy. What is implied may be described as follows:—
A sense of the value of life in itself.
A realization of the unity of Mankind and of the good of each as contained in the good of all.
Faith that life here on earth can be made good and beautiful for all.
Faith in the motive of service rather than in that of acquisition as a practicable means to this end.
