Do One Of Three Things. One, Go Find A Wailing Wall And Feel Sorry For Yourselves. Two, Go Psycho And Start Bombing - But This Will Only Swing People To The Right. Three, Learn A Lesson. Go Home, Organize, Build Power And At The Next Convention, You Be The Delegates.

In This World Laws Are Written For The Lofty Aim Of "the Common Good" And Then Acted Out In Life On The Basis Of The Common Greed. In This World Irrationality Clings To Man Like His Shadow So That The Right Things Get Done For The Wrong Reasons - Afterwards, We Dredge Up The Right Reasons For Justification. It Is A World Not Of Angels But Of Angles, Where Men Speak Of Moral Principles But Act On Power Principles; A World Where We Are Always Moral And Our Enemies Always Immoral; A World Where "reconciliation" Means That When One Side Gets The Power And The Other Side Gets Reconciled To It.

They Hope For A Future Where The Means Of Economic Production Will Be Owned By All Of The People Instead Of Just A Comparative Handful. They Feel That This Minority Control Of Production Facilities Is Injurious To The Large Masses Of People Not Only Because Of Economic Monopolies But Because The Political Power Inherent In This Form Of Centralized Economy Does Not Augur For An Ever Expanding Democratic Way Of Life.
