If capitalism had never existed, any honest humanitarian should have been struggling to invent it. But when you see men struggling to evade its existence, to misrepresent its nature, and to destroy its last remnants - you maybe sure that whatever their motives, love of man is not one of them.

Observe that this dread leads them to sanction, to help and to spread the very evil whose existence they fear to acknowledge.
