A Confusion of Terms
Socialism, like the ancient ideas
from which it springs, confuses the distinction between
government and society. As a result of this, every time we object
to a thing being done by government, the socialists conclude that
we object to its being done at all. We disapprove of state
education. Then the socialists say that we are opposed to any
education. We object to a state religion. Then the socialists say
that we want no religion at all. We object to a state-enforced
equality. Then they say that we are against equality. And so on,
and so on. It is as if the socialists were to accuse us of not
wanting persons to eat because we do not want the state to raise
grain.
