Modern Socialism is the child of capitalist society and its class antagonisms. Without these it could not be. Socialism and ethics are two separate things. This fact must be kept in mind.—W. Liebknecht
Blogger's Note:
Both quotes are from Wilhelm Liebknecht's 1899 pamphlet, No Compromise. First published in English in 1900, No Compromise was an incredibly influential tract for early members of the SPGB.
