Abstract

"End Poverty in Civilization"

Thirty years ago the author wrote, "Socialism is not a theory but an act of will." And people of the "End Poverty in California" movement knows that they can do it, because they know themselves. All through these dreadful five years of depression the people have been organizing and helping themselves. They have formed barter groups, and have managed to produce a little bit of this and that, they have overcome all the obstacles which business men and politicians have been able to put in their way. Now people are going to put the credit power of the State of California behind them, and they are going to expand into a giant cooperative in which 1,250,000 persons will take care of themselves. People knew something about the preparations their enemies are making to try to frighten the people.
