Modern Liberalism holds, in theory, what- the most extreme Csesarism always assumes, -in practice, that all men are equal; Just as in an absolute despotism a prince and a slave must exchange places at a tyrant’s nod, so, under the regime of the new liberalism, men are exalted and debased according to the caprices of fortune. without regard to their personal merits. The government considers it none of its affair if the strong prey upon the weak. “Catch who catch can, and the devil take the hindmost,” is the principle.Socialism and anarchism; starting from the same premise of universal equality, demand that this equality shall not remain merely a name, hut that it shall either he guaranteed and realised in its perfection by means of a radical reorganisation and official administration of society, or else remain unhampered by the existence of governments, which, under existing conditions, cannot fail, they say, to operate chiefly as a means for the perpetuation of economic slavery and the repression of any efforts to obtain justice that may be made by those who are now deprived of even the scantiest means of livelihood.
