From the October 1908 issue of the Socialist Standard
“Yes,” say the I.L.P., S.D.P., and the other quassi-Socialist parties who are after big memberships. Well, the Socialist says the only cure for poverty is in the intellectual awakening of the working class, preliminary to the ownership and control of the means of life. The Christian says the cure for poverty is in “believing prayer to our God.” One is absolutely dependent upon “God.” The other is absolutely indifferent to God. How, then, can a man be a Socialist and a Christian ?

It's quassi in the original text. Maybe that was the correct spelling back in Edwardian England?
