"The ideological solution misses the one integral law of the Universe; all things tend towards Unity. Whether it be politics, economics, or science, the relations and principles which bind living things together bring the diversity of existence into a functioning system where everything has a place and a purpose."

Extension of state control is not so much a question of increasing or diminishing as of reorganizing restraints. There is no difficulty in understanding why the extension of state control on the one side should not go hand in hand with determined resistance to encroachments on the other. Practically what is called increase of state control is often of the nature of decrease in the total amount of restraint. The object of state coercion is to a large degree to override coercion by individuals and by associations of individuals within the state, and such a function, so far as I can see, is consistent only with the assumption of the competence of the state to decide between the conflicting interests.

"When we see community as a process, at that moment we recognize that freedom and law must appear together. I integrate opposing tendencies in my own nature and the result is freedom, power, law. To express the personality I am creating, to live the authority I am creating, is to be free. From biology, social psychology, all along the line, we learn one lesson: that man is rising into consciousness of self as freedom in the forms of law. Law is the entelechy of freedom. The forms of government, of industry, must express this psychological truth."

It can easily be demonstrated that the failures which are said to accompany married life are the results of the present social order that lays upon the shoulders of the individual, the burden which society itself ought to carry and could easily carry; that does not recognize the right of man to the means wherewith to sustain life, even if he is willing to contribute his share of work to their production; that spans the masses before the coach of society upon which Hunger sits as the coachman and cracks his deep cutting whip; and that allows only a select few to enjoy an airy seat upon the chariot, holding out over them, even, the dread that they may lose their seats and tumble down from their height to be crushed by the wheels of the vehicle.

It must not be forgotten that this new social doctrine has come not to destroy but to fulfill whatever is true in the old individualistic conceptions. In other words, the modern point of view which is affecting so profoundly the relation of man to society may also be described as a more adequate realization of the nature of individuality. It shows how completely the concrete content of individuality is social.

The argument I put forward in this paper is that, despite the surface similarities and apparent continuity between contemporary forms of protest to their historical progenitors, there is a darker and more sinister nature to what we’ve seen over the last few years in comparison to the past.
