CHAPTER 4 ECONOMIC TERMS
the state must decide who is to receive the society's surplus. It then logically
follows that the state has the right to terminate the lives of those that the state
feels are not worthy of receiving their share of the surplus.
One who took great care in pointing this position out in detail was
George Bernard Shaw, a leading Socialist of his day. Mr. Shaw wrote a book
entitled The Intelligent Woman's Guide to Socialism in which he detailed
his concern about this problem:
I also made it quite clear that Socialism means equality of
income or nothing, and under Socialism you would not be allowed
to be poor.
You would be forcibly fed, clothed, lodged, taught, and
employed whether you like it or not. If it were discovered that you
had not the character and industry enough to be worth all this
trouble, you might be executed in a kindly manner, but whilst you
were permitted to live, you would have to live well. 4
The Socialist government would permit all to live (their right to life
becomes a privilege) only so long as the government felt each was worth "all
the trouble." But should the government feel that the individual's value had
decreased, the government would terminate that individual's life in an
unspecified "kindly manner."
Mr. Shaw also connected the economic philosophy of Socialism with
the truth that human labor is essential to the production of all Capital
Goods, and that those who do not produce have no right to life, when he
wrote: "Compulsory labour with death as the final victory is the keystone of
Socialism." 5
In the Socialist scheme of things, the individual is not to be free, and it
is not intended that he be free. Karl Kautsky, to this day one of the leading
theoreticians of the Socialist position, wrote: "Socialist production is not
compatible with liberty of work, that is to say, with the worker's freedom to
work when or how he likes. In a socialist society, all the means of production
will be concentrated in the hands of the state, and the latter will be the only
employer; there will be no choice." 6
Proof that Kautsky's argument can become official government policy
lies in what happened in the Socialist country of Germany, just prior to the
beginning of World War II: "No German worker could change his job
without obtaining permission, while if he absented himself from work
without proper excuse, he was liable to imprisonment." 7
Obviously, this type of government is not popular with the working
class, the supposed benefactor of the economic philosophy of Socialism, so
the strategy became one of deceiving the worker so that the Socialism that the
worker is induced to support in theory is different from the Socialism that the
