SOCIAL REVOLUTION.
The Aim and End of Socialist Propa-
eanda and Effort.

When slavery was the form OF eX-
ploltation the eNploiter had first to
catch his victim, and then hold him in
subsection By force. The slave did
not seek his slavery.
Under capitalism the worker fan
cies that he is free. He thinks that he
strikes bargain as to wages. while
as a matter of fact. he is only free"
to take what the capitalist thinks he
is worth" or atarve.
The slaye-owner took as his own
the produce of the slaves labor Out
OF what the slave produced his owner
provided food, clothing and shelter
He kept the slave In ilt condition to
produce more wealth. and when for
any reason the slave was not working
his owner saw 10 1t that the slaves
wants were provided for just the
Same. Not 10 care for the slave meant
loss to the slave owner
The capitalist, similarly 10 tho
slaye-owner, takes the whole of what
the worker produces, but instead Of
providing food, clothing and shelter,
the capitalist paws the worker ont OF
the workers product. wages. with
