Socialist System
Is A Reaction
Socialism arose as a reason to
capitalism. But even socialism failed to establish the importance of
the human being. Socialists contented themselves by merely
transferring the ownership of capital in the hands of the State. But
the State is even more of an impersonal institution. All the
business of the State is conducted by rigid rules and regulations.
Generally, there is no place for individual discretion and even
where such discretion is allowed, the slightest laxity in the sense
of duty and social responsibility on the part of the administrators
results in corruption and favoritism. The capitalistic system
thought merely of the economic man, but left him free in other
fields where the could exercise his individuality. The socialist
system went much further thinking only of the abstract man. After
that, there was no scope for the development of the individual
personality based on diverse tastes and abilities. The needs and
preferences of individuals have as much importance in the socialist
system as in a prison manual. There is no such thing as individual
freedom in the socialist system.
