Legal Plunder Has Many Names
Now, legal plunder can be committed
in an infinite number of ways. Thus we have an infinite number of
plans for organizing it: tariffs, protection, benefits,
subsidies, encouragements, progressive taxation, public schools,
guaranteed jobs, guaranteed profits, minimum wages, a right to
relief, a right to the tools of labor, free credit, and so on,
and so on. All these plans as a whole—with their common aim
of legal plunder— constitute socialism.
Now, since under this definition
socialism is a body of doctrine, what attack can be made against
it other than a war of doctrine? If you find this socialistic
doctrine to be false, absurd, and evil, then refute it. And the
more false, the more absurd, and the more evil it is, the easier
it will be to refute. Above all, if you wish to be strong, begin
by rooting out every particle of socialism that may have crept
into your legislation. This will be no light task.
