The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from War and the Future by H. G. Wells: if he is too human for any of these things, then he begins to
despise and hate the employer and the system that made him. He
wants to hurt them. Upon that hate it is easy to trade.
A certain section of what is called the Socialist press and the
Socialist literature in Europe is no doubt great-minded; it seeks
to carve a better world out of the present. But much of it is
socialist only in name. Its spirit is Anarchistic. Its real
burthen is not construction but grievance; it tells the bitter
tale of the employee, it feeds and organises his malice, it
schemes annoyance and injury for the hated employer. The state
and the order of the world is confounded with the capitalist.
