Not only is it a cold-blooded
economic propaganda, but it is in essence a religious propaganda with
a fervour in it of Paul and Christ. The capitalist class has been
indicted. It has failed in its management and its management is to
be taken away from it. Seven million men of the working-class say
that they are going to get the rest of the working-class to join with
them and take the management away. The revolution is here, now.
Stop it who can.

THE SOMNAMBULISTS
"'Tis only fools speak evil of the clay -
The very stars are made of clay like mine."
The mightiest and absurdest sleep-walker on the planet! Chained in
the circle of his own imaginings, man is only too keen to forget his
origin and to shame that flesh of his that bleeds like all flesh and
that is good to eat. Civilization (which is part of the circle of
his imaginings) has spread a veneer over the surface of the soft-
shelled animal known as man. It is a very thin veneer; but so
wonderfully is man constituted that he squirms on his bit of
achievement and believes he is garbed in armour-plate.
