Our Friend the Charlatan

CHAPTER IV
10/31

What the true Socialism has to keep in view is a principle of justice in the balance of rights and duties between the few who lead and the multitude who follow.

In the history of the world hitherto, the multitude has had less than its share, the ruling classes have tyrannised.

At present it's pretty obvious that we're in danger of just the opposite excess; Demos begins to roar alarmingly, and there'll be a poor look out for us if he gets all he wants.

What we need above all things is a reform in education.

We are teaching the people too much and too little.
