Our country has stumbled into socialism during the past half century; by now -- 1958 -- we have adopted nearly all the things socialists stand for. Those of us who are aware of socialism's built-in destructiveness have watched this process with apprehension and are forever predicting, or warning against, the impending catastrophe which we think we see hanging over our society. Under socialism, some men are put at the disposal of other men, deliberately, legally, and on principle. Socialism, in other words, is premised in an immoral extension of political power.
