But suppose the Democratic party peaceably successful on this new basis of semi State Socialism, what would it all mean? BUT SUPPOSE THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY PEACEABLY SUCCESSFUL ON THIS NEW BASIS OF SEMI STATE SOCIALISM WHAT WOULD IT ALL MEAN
ce to fit it, grinds us down till we do. Nothing but a tremendous force can deal with this force; it will not suffer itself to be dismembered, nor to lose anything which really is its essence without putting forth all its force in resistance; rather than lose anything which it considers of importance, it will pull the roof of the world down upon its head. For, indeed, I grant these semi-Socialist Democrats that there is one hope for their tampering piecemeal with our Society; if by chance they can excite people into seriously, however blindly, claiming one or other of these things in question, and could be successful in Parliament in driving it through, they would certainly draw on a great civil war, and such a war once let loose would not end but either with the full triumph of Socialism or its extinction for the present; it would be impossible to limit the aim of the struggle; nor can we even guess at the course which it would take, except that it could not be a matter of compromise.  IF WE DO NOT CHANCE TO FIT IT GRINDS US DOWN TILL WE DO NOTHING BUT A TREMENDOUS FORCE CAN DEAL WITH THIS FORCE IT WILL NOT SUFFER ITSELF TO BE DISMEMBERED NOR TO LOSE ANYTHING WHICH REALLY IS ITS ESSENCE WITHOUT PUTTING FORTH ALL ITS FORCE IN RESISTANCE RATHER THAN LOSE ANYTHING WHICH IT CONSIDERS OF IMPORTANCE IT WILL PULL THE ROOF OF THE WORLD DOWN UPON ITS HEAD FOR INDEED I GRANT THESE SEMI SOCIALIST DEMOCRATS THAT THERE IS ONE HOPE FOR THEIR TAMPERING PIECEMEAL WITHOUT SOCIETY IF BY CHANCE THEY CAN EXCITE PEOPLE INTO SERIOUSLY HOWEVER BLINDLY CLAIMING ONE OR OTHER OF THESE THINGS IN QUESTION AND COULD BE SUCCESSFUL IN PARLIAMENT IN DRIVING IT THROUGH THEY WOULD CERTAINLY DRAW ON A GREAT CIVIL WAR AND SUCH A WAR ONCE LET LOOSE WOULD NOT END BUT EITHER WITH THE FULL TRIUMPH OF SOCIALISM OR ITS EXTINCTION FOR THE PRESENT IT WOULD BE IMPOSSIBLE TO LIMIT THE AIM OF THE STRUGGLE NOR COULD WE EVEN GUESS AT THE COURSE WHICH IT WOULD TAKE EXCEPT THAT IT COULD NOT BE A MATTER OF COMPROMISE
