Excerpt from The Strength and Weakness of Socialism The United States has now the opportunity which Germany had twenty years ago. It is not by any means too late for us to escape the situation in which Germany finds herself. However it may be in Germany, the policy of social reform is still practicable among us; but we must always bear in mind the high ideals which social ism has placed before the masses of the people, and which they have absorbed. Timid, half-way measures will not stem the tide of socialism. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
