Excerpt from Horace Greeley and Other Pioneers of American Socialism
This volume - Horace Greeley and other Pioneers of American Socialism - is neither biographical nor scientific, in the full sense of those words. Yet it partakes of both characters, albeit a sociological olla podrida with a modicum of seasoning a la doctrinaire. It has been written, however, with distinctly positive objects in mental view.
During the many years that I have been a Constitutional State Socialist I have found myself confronted with two serious obstacles blocking the path of my attempts to arouse my fellow American citizens from their political and economic lethargy. One of these hindrances has been willful literary misrepresentation and the other, woful ignorance of Social Science. The latter has been too frequently a result of the former. Strange as it may seem to minds of culture, the great majority of people in the United States still believe that Socialism and Anarchism are one and the same thing, never dreaming that there is a sharp distinction, if not an actual antagonism, - both theoretical and practical, - between the two.
