Excerpt from The War and Socialism And the real task before mankind is quite beyond the business of the fighting line, the simple awful. Business of discrediting and discouraging these stupidities by battleship, artillery, rifle and the blood and courage of seven million men. The real task of mankind is to get better sense into the heads of these Germans, and therewith and thereby into the heads of humanity generally, and to end not simply a war, but the idea of war. What printing and writing and talking have done, printing and writing and talking can undo. Let no man be fooled by bulk and matter. Rifles do but kill men, and fresh men are born to follow them; Our business is to kill ideas. The ultimate purpose of this war is propaganda, the destruction of certain beliefs, and the creation of others. It is to this propaganda that reasonable men must address themselves.

Excerpt from Socialism After the War You have come through a time of great stress because you kept to your international and democratic faith. Every bound of malignity has been released to bite at you. But you have not run away, and have sought shelter neither in silence nor in what is miscalled patriotism. The result is that to-day your party is stronger than ever it has been, both in membership and moral authority. You have stood the supreme test, which is to point out the right way when others are going wrong, and to stand keeping open the gates through which people must ultimately pass to peace and satisfaction. The war people are now beginning to speak in your language and to adopt your policy. That is the beginning of your triumph, and you have now to think of the future. This at least we know That the Dawn and the Day are coming, and forth the banners go. These chapters are offered to you not as a complete set of details but as a general and a guiding survey, not as a dogmatic pronouncement but for your con sideration.

Excerpt from The Red War on the Family It hardly is necessary to state to observant readers that in those countries where socialism dominated the state it has not made an impressive showing, even to those of the socialist faith, as is evidenced by the many apologies offered by the latter for the lack of success met with by socialist visionaries in such countries. But their experience has not been Without value, and enables us more correctly to appraise socialism than ever before.

Excerpt from The Tactics of Socialism In the following pages the greater space is given to a consideration of the two main tactics Of the movement the emphasis everywhere and always put upon political ac tion, and (2) the avoidance Of political fusion with groups or parties Of the capitalist class. The question Of Socialist participation in bourgeois cabinets is treated both as it stood before the war and as it has been affected by that great catastrophe. The subject Of general social tactics, since it has been treated throughout the foregoing pages, is but briefly considered here. W. J. G.

Excerpt from The American Socialists and the War: A Documentary History of the Attitude of the Socialist Party Toward War and Militarism Since the Outbreak of the Great War Modern penology has long discarded the crude notion that crime is caused by wilful individual perversity and that punish ment is either a corrective for the criminal or a deterrent for the would-be criminal. Enlightened penologists are unanimous in the conviction that crime is mostly the product of unjust and unhealthy social conditions and environment, and that a radical and permanent cure of crime can only be achieved in the im provement and correction of those conditions.

Excerpt from A History of British Socialism The book which is now published under the title A History of British Socialism, Volume was intended by the author to be the first of two volumes, the second of which would carry the story of British Socialism into the opening decade of the present century. The War intervened before the second volume was ready for the Press, and Mr. Beer, like most other students, was compelled for the time being to lay his literary work on one side. The first volume, therefore, is now published separately; the next, it is hoped, will appear on the return of peace. Together they will form the most complete account of the development of Socialist thought in Great Britain which has yet appeared. The subject of the present volume is the growth of Socialism down to the rise of Chartism, and its readers must remember that there is a sequel in which the story is completed. But the period with which it deals is sufficiently distinct to be studied separately, and the book is a unity, not a mutilated fragment.

Excerpt from State Socialism After the War: An Exposition of Complete State Socialism, What It Is: How It Would Work Since the beginning of the great world war in 1914, the opinion has been frequently expressed in the public prints and otherwise that this greatest of wars marks the beginning of a new era in the history of the world. There is to be seen in some of the leading papers and magazines of the day such expressions as, "vast changes pending throughout the world," "the greatest turning point in human history during the last twenty centuries," "the end of the age," and other similar expressions. One writer speaks of it as "a crises of world evolution ushering in a better world for posterity," another as "marking the end of the old and the beginning of a new era." An English statesman says that at the end there will be a new Europe. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
