J. H. Levy

Socialism has its black sheep. What cause has not? But that which fills me with grief is that it has so many white ones. The most miserable circumstance of our time is that much of its devotion and self-​denial is running into Socialistic channels. It is this misdirected self-​abnegation, characteristic of the Dark Ages, which is carrying us back to them.
