It can scarcely be regarded now as anything but an interesting failure, but a failure that has all the educational value of a first reconnaissance into unexplored territory. Starting from that attack on aggregating property, which is the common starting- point of all socialist projects, the Fabians, appalled at 114 The Great State the obvious difficulties of honest confiscation and an open transfer from private to public hands, conceived the ex- traordinary idea of filching property for the sta...te. A small body of people of extreme astuteness were to bring about the municipalisation and nationalisation first of this great system of property and then of that, in a manner so artful that the millionaires were to wake up one morning at last, and behold, they would find them- selves poor men !
