“Socialism is the philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and thegospel of envy.”[PERTH, 28 MAY 1948]”

“Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.”

“Socialism in general has a record of failure so blatant that only an intellectual could ignore or evade it.”

“Have you ever considered whether Perth's 'dullness' may have inspired you rather than inhibited you?”

“Socialism is a wonderful idea. It is only as a reality that it has been disastrous. Among people of every race, color, and creed, all around the world, socialism has led to hunger in countries that used to have surplus food to export.... Nevertheless, for many of those who deal primarily in ideas, socialism remains an attractive idea -- in fact, seductive. Its every failure is explained away as due to the inadequacies of particular leaders. ”
