But it is not possible, at least it is possible only temporarily, long enough to demonstrate its failure.

The expanding industrial forces now transforming society, realigning political parties, and reshaping the government itself cannot be fettered in any such artificial arrangement as Mr.Roosevelt proposes.

These forces, with the rising and awakening working class in alliance with them, will sweep all such barriers from the track of evolution until finally they can find full expression in industrial freedom and social democracy.
"In this scheme of State Socialism, or rather State capitalism, Mr.
Roosevelt fails to inform us how the idle owners of the trusts are to function except as profit absorbers and parasites.

In that capacity they can certainly be dispensed with entirely and that is precisely what will happen when the evolution now in progress culminates in the reorganization of society."[77] (My italics.)
