A Professor of Ethics' view on socialism in 1911.
Socialism has its roots in ancient times, with collective agriculture and communal living being practiced in many societies. However, the modern concept of socialism as we know it today emerged in the 18th and 19th centuries in Europe. The Socialist Party of America was founded in the United States in 1901, marking the emergence of socialism as a significant political movement in the country. The following critique here of socialism comes 10 years afterwards, and was published in The Irish Standard on May 27, 1911.

The James-Younger Gang was a group of American outlaws that operated in the late 19th century, primarily in the states of Missouri, Kansas, and Minnesota. The gang’s roots can be traced back to the American Civil War, when the James and Younger brothers fought as Confederate guerrillas in Missouri. After the war, they turned to a life of crime, robbing banks, trains, and stagecoaches. The gang’s activities were marked by violence, brutality, and notoriety, earning them a reputation as one of the most feared and infamous outlaw groups in the United States.
