Impractical, Is It?

So you oppose Populism and Socialism because they are impractical, do you? Of course your system now in vogue is practical!! Starvation is practical! Robbery is practical! Embezzlement Is practical! Malfeasance is practical! Suicide is practical! Murder is practical! Burglary is practical! Insanity is practical! Arson is practical! Strikes are practical! Riots are practical! Freezing is practical! Hunger is practical! Poverty is practical! Ali the crimes are practical, and all the virtues are impractical!!!! That is right—vote for the system whose product is nothing hut crime, and call people dangerous who present you a system to support under which there would be no incentive to crime. You are practical!—Coming Nation,
