We must not confound Democracy and Socialism with Communism, for they are both out to fight Communism. We shall refer in this pamphlet to Theocracy, so it will be best at the outset to define our terms.
(1) THEOCRACY is the government of the people by GOD for His own glory and the blessing of mankind.
(2) DEMOCRACY stands for the government of the people by the people for the people — Abraham Lincoln’s famous definition.
(3) SOCIALISM stands in social life, in commerce and trade, for Communism, but not as at present in its extreme form; in public life akin to Republicanism; in the realm of religion for blank atheism.
(4) COMMUNISM is the result of carrying Socialism to its extreme and logical conclusions. It is the boast of Communists that Socialism is a convenient half-way house to their views and aims. Seeing that things in the English-speaking world are not arrived at this extreme, we confine our remarks in this pamphlet to Socialism.
