ABSTRACT

It is a strange drama that is taking place before us. Socialists, convinced socialists, who look upon life and dogma as one and who will stop at nothing in order to bring about the triumph of their idea—these socialists are destroying with their own hands the fruits of their own creative effort. They are replacing an ostensibly harmonious social order in which exploitation is unknown with an anarchistic order founded upon exploitation—and they hope by this means to increase the resources of the republic and to improve the position of the workers. We see the socialists attempting to attract foreign capital in order that it may build up in our own country that surplus value which at first they felt they were called upon to get rid of.
