If you scratch below the surface and ask what really makes me tick it's the liberalism of trying to promote freedom and opportunity. Promoting social mobility is one of the keys to that.

If this liberal potential is properly channeled we may expect the area of freedom of the United States to increase. The problem is to spend up our rate of social invention in the service of the welfare of all the people.

What we have at present is a system of loss socialism. Whatever goes wrong is shouldered by the general public and anything that works is privatised. Worshippers of market freedom have suspended the most important economic principle: Risk and liability go hand in hand.

The idea that men are created free and equal is both true and misleading: men are created different they lose their social freedom and their individual autonomy in seeking to become like each other.

Justice is never given it is exacted and the struggle must be continuous for freedom is never a final fact but a continuing evolving process to higher and higher levels of human social economic political and religious relationship.

So long as you do not achieve social liberty whatever freedom is provided by the law is of no avail to you.

When one makes a Revolution one cannot mark time one must always go forward - or go back. He who now talks about the 'freedom of the press' goes backward and halts our headlong course towards Socialism.

Our single most important challenge is therefore to help establish a social order in which the freedom of the individual will truly mean the freedom of the individual.

To be social is to be forgiving.

It seems the most logical thing in the world to believe that the natural resources of the Earth upon which the race depends for food clothing and shelter should be owned collectively by the race instead of being the private property of a few social parasites.
