Socialism is the Easiest Apparent Solution of the Capitalist Crux:--A contrast between the reformer making for Distribution and the reformer making for Socialism (or Collectivism)--The difficulties met by the first type--He is working against the grain--The second is working with the grain--Collectivism a natural development of Capitalism--It appeals both to Capitalist and Proletarian--None the less we shall see that the Collectivist attempt is doomed to fail and to produce a thing very different from its object--to wit, the Servile State.
