Excerpt from The Case Against Socialism: A Handbook for Speakers and Candidates In all Socialist and anti-socialist writings and speeches the words Socialism, Social Demo cracy, Communism, and Collectivism now so constantly occur that some attempt must here be made to define them. SO far as the terms Socialism and Social Democracy are concerned, these in practice are to-day convertible terms. The latter is possibly in Great Britain even now less used than the former. This is due probably to its more recent introduction and to its German origin. The Social Democratic Party Of Great Britain, both by means of its name and literature, has, however, done much to popularise the use of the word Social Democracy.
