opiate of the people.” In review-
ing Laski’s book, if every premise
Bruce Hutchison makes is false,
his conclusions are of no value.
lor instanee he says —— and makes
Laski say, which I cannot believe
~ - “Once it is admitted that there
is nothing higher than the state,
and no more life than the stand-
ard of living, then democracy has
no claim to survive.” If that isn’t
the smelliest kind of red herring.
Not even the Nazis admit that. Of
course there should be nothing
higher than the state. But the
state exists for the benefit of the
individual. What is good for all .
-—materially—-is good for each.
We have it that what is good for
one is good for all. The trouble
is that those who say so have the
good things of life — they don’t;
but they stop better people hav- :
ing them — and the rest of us get
nothing. There are no leavings.
As for democracy: I have dream-
ed of it; but never seen it. Just
to state what.-democracy «is —
social equality. — shows. how well
we play at “follow my leader.’
