Hello,
Friends........
Socialism aims,then,at substituting the motive of social service for the motive of private profit
It holds that me will do better work to make the good life,with the leisure and financial competence it requires possibly for the society.
In fact,in the long run,it is better for themselves,than they will at present consent to do for a society which compels them to enrich the exploiters of their labour in order to avoid starvation for themselves.
If socialism is wrong in making this assumption ,if the psychology of human beings is such that they will not work willingly and well for society but only for themselves,then the whole of the socialist edifice falls to the ground,for this doctrine is the foundation upon which it rests.
Either men are socially minded in the sense described, or they are not,and can not be made so.
