MATERIALISTS.
No, the Socialists are hoi
rainbow chasers.
The opponents of Socialism
are rainbow chasers.
: Frequently some opponent
of Socialism, in one breath,
charges us with being rank ma-
terialists, who are concerned
only with base, physical, mater
ial things.
And, in the next breath, he
charges us with being rank i-
dealists and rainbow chasers
who are attempting to estab-
lish an impossible heaven on
earth.
Of course, these charges do
not hang together very well.
But then, as our eritics are in
the wrong, we cannot expect
them to be reasonable.
We Socialists are neither
rankmaterialists nor rank ide-
alists.
We have high ideals but we
do not spend our time dream-
ing about them.
We recognize the fact that
the reason men cannot appro-
ach their ideals, but are curb-
ed and thwarted, is because
their actions and aspiratons
|the possibilities in them, and
to share the good things of life |
| equally, if they equally do their
are limited and governed by
an unfavorable environment.
We have our knife out for
that environment.
When we lay that environ-
ment in its grave we propose to
replace it with a better one.
Men are chiefly the product
of their environment, and of
heredity, which is chiefly com-
posed of inherited environment
The nature of the environ-
ment of men is determined
chiefly by economic conditions.
Economic conditions are de-
termined chiefly by the mode
of producing and distributing
the necessities and comforts of
life.

WHAT'S 50 AND WHAT ISN'T
Copyrighted by JOHN M. WORK
To make a radical chauge in
the environment, you have to
change the mode of production
and distributon. ag
The economic conditions
now prevailing make the envi-
ronment of the average man
such that he is condemned to
starve himself mentally, mor-
ally and spiritually, in order
to escape physical starvation.
He is compelled to scrambe fur
iously for money enough to pro
vide a bare existence. uf
We know that under a rat-
ional system the world’s indus-
trial work can be done in half
the time spent upon it under
the present wasteful, unsecien-
tific, chaotic system. He
We want men to have the
time andthe means and the op-
portunity to cultivae their * high
er natures,
But we know that this can
only be accomplished by chang
ing their environment. In
other words, by abolishing cap-
italism and introducing Social-
ism.
Therefore, when we are
charged with being rank mat-
erialists or rank idealists, I re-
ply that the Socialist is the on-
ly materialist who is not ra nk
and he is likewise the only ide-
alist who is not rank. He is
neither a materal groveler nor
a rainbow chaser.
.The man who makes mater-
ial ends his ultimate object is
the material groveler.
And the man who spends his , :
life, as some opponents of Soc-
ialism do, in trying to get men
to be decent under the present
impossible conditons, instead.
ing those conditions and repla-
ing them with conditions
wherein men can be decent, is
the rainbow chaser.
The Socialist is practical.
