HENRY GEORGE

Social Thinker or Land Communist

Political Collectivism — Communism — should be exposed from the ground up. Read Henry George’s PROGRESS & POVERTY for Communism’s basic dialectic. Then read the — ANSWER — in 26 pages of critical analysis; also showing Private Property in Land as the first and last Bulwark of Freedom, and that its evolution into community-wide organizations performing Public Services at a Profit, will become a Free Society’s own weapon and final salvation against total destruction by the State.

The Total Communism concealed in its Trojan Horse of “Land Reform,” continues to mislead even the keenest of minds. John Dewey said of Henry George:  “No man … has a right to regard himself as an educated man in social thought unless he has some first-hand acquaintance with the theoretical contribution of this great American thinker.” Winston Churchill, Leo Tolstoy, Helen Keller, Nicholas Murray Butler and many others have written in similar vein.

Beyond a doubt, PROGRESS & POVERTY is an appealing book. Grossly fallacious in its argument, inevitably totalitarian in its application, it is yet idealistic and poetical — thus subtly subversive in its world-wide emotional appeal.
