“The difficulty felt about Communism, or even about any fairly complete Socialism, is that it interferes with man's freedom to make demands for his many-sided nature, and to endeavour to satisfy those demands. It secures bread to all, perhaps, but it ignores the doctrine that man shall not live by bread alone. The future probably lies with those who, instead of pitting against one another, Socialism and Individualism, will seek to realise a true, vital, organic conception of Society and of the State in which both Individualism and Socialism will have their proper share. The bark which carries civilised man with his fortunes will thus steer an even course between the Scylla of anarchy and the Charybdis of despotism.”
