Synopsis
Excerpt from Socialism: The Nation of the Fatherless Children
When in 1903 we presented the first edition of Socialism: The Nation of Fatherless Children to the public we had only a very few friends, true blue. The public press paid but little attention to socialist propaganda; and to the general public the movement was known by a phrase or two which signified condemnation without understanding or by those of approval which rested upon equally unknown ground.
This indifference had given to socialists a foothold in the nation. Abnormal fortunes were matched by abnormal ambi tions that had been aroused here and there amongst the members of the working class. These proletarian comrades in association with their intellectual leaders were preying upon the hopes and fears of their fellow workers, many of whom were receiving an un just wage and were even so in constant dread of unemployment.
On the other hand the occasion was ripe for interesting the illy educated middle class in the science of poverty - that it is all due to the system - and for enlisting its sympathy for the under dog, as their own fortunes were feeling the blight of the trusts.
This much was certain, that for socialist wares it was a rapidly rising market, and that for anti - socialist literature there was none at all.

Socialism: The Nation of the Fatherless Children (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book analyzes the arguments and evidence presented by leading international socialists to reveal the materialist and atheist basis of modern socialism. The author presents data from the writings and speeches of notable figures like Frederick Engels, George D. Herron, and Ernest Untermann, demonstrating how socialism is rooted in the belief that economic conditions shape all human institutions, including religion. The book delves into the ethical implications of this materialism, showing how it rejects the concept of individual moral responsibility and presents a vision of a classless society where conventional notions of sin and crime are deemed irrelevant. Ultimately, this book exposes the deep-seated hostility between socialist philosophy and Christian beliefs, highlighting the irreconcilable differences in their respective worldviews.
