Since he's been dead over 100 years, I'd say he doesn't agree with you, but you with him.

Yes in the 1800s people were wishing for a workable socalist utopia.... they still are, because in practice it doesn't work. It flys in the face of basic human hardwiring that has enabled man to survive and flourish. It was and will remain a pipe dream.

The chief advantage that would result from the establishment of Socialism is, undoubtedly, the fact that Socialism would relieve us from that sordid necessity of living for others which, in the present condition of things, presses so hardly upon almost everybody. In fact, scarcely any one at all escapes.

Is it Backwards Day again?
