EDITORIAL COMMENT

From Socialism to Bolshevism

The world is obsessed by the fear of social and economic revolt. It calls the thing it is afraid of, Bolshevism. This term represents, however, only the last step in the disintegration of the pre-established order. The first step is Socialism, the second Communism, the third (and the last yet taken) Bolshevism, the fourth Anarchy. Socialism has not been consciously and specifically adopted in this country, though not a little of our legislation and administrative practice has in recent years been imbued with the spirit of Socialism. In actual practice nothing has been accomplished in the way of Communism, but the I. W. W., whose philosophy (if we may call it philosophy) is distinctly communistic, has labored hard to precipitate a crisis in one community after another. The world's experience with Bolshevism has so far been confined to Russia and Central Europe. Bolshevism appears to differ from Communism in the fact that it does not seek merely an equal distribution of the products of labor, but is a class struggle and aims at the extinction of the bourgoisie by the proletariat. The last conceivable step is pure Anarchy, which implies the total absence of any theory of social relationship and the right of every person to do exactly as he pleases at the expense of any and all other persons.

Socialism is a more difficult problem to deal with than either Communism or Bolshevism or Anarchy. Socialism marks the point of departure from the existing order to a terra incognita, to a region where all is uncertainty. Socialism is a note which sounds as fateful in our ears as Macbeth's

"Hear it not, Duncan, for it is a knell

That summons thee to heaven or to hell."
