The Socialist wants to destroy society, and build it again on an anti-Human-natural plan.
The Syndicalist wants to destroy the Business World and to erect a new business world on an unbusinesslike basis.
Of the three, I prefer Anarchy.
It is the only one of the three dreams based on common-sense, for it frankly aims at Anarchy, and Anarchy is exactly what it would get were it to succeed.

I have said “The three dreams,” and though I have permitted myself to sneer at some points in the philosophy of some of these dreamers, I have no sneers at all to expend on their energy, and on their wholeheartedness. They are all trying to express something, and that something is the Poverty and the Misery of the world.
Socialism, Syndicalism, and Anarchism are all one voice speaking in different tones.
And that voice is growing and must be answered, not by Repression, but by Philosophy.
The world is not all wrong, but it is not all right. Man is speaking in no uncertain tones, and he wants some reply more apposite to his argument than the glib chirrup of Pippa.
