Excerpt from Socialism What Is It Is It Christian Should the Church Take Any Interest in It

It has been often lifted up in the press and in the pulpit as the "folly" of socialism. Logic and sarcasm have been hurled against it, but the "folly" was a man of straw. Even within a few months, from prominent, pulpits, I heard this "folly" attacked as through it were a real objection, and in overthrowing it the impression was left that Socialism had been logically vanquished.

In asserting that the equal division of property is no part of a true idea of Socialism, I will not ask you to rely upon my opinion unsubstantiated. A former Austrian Minister of Finance, Prof. Schaffle, in his volume entitled "The Quintessence of Socialism", says: "It is absolutely false to say that Socialism is the system of periodical redistribution of private possessions. That is absolute nonsense, and every page of a socialistic journal rightly condemns such an account of the matter as the result of gross ignorance."

Socialism is not Communism. Communism means having all things in common. It abolishes private property and annihilates the distinction between meum and tuum. This is not the idea of Socialism. Again Socialism does not aim at the impossible end of banishing the natural inequalities found among men. It has no affinity with any form of violence or confiscation or class selfishness.
