Many, many more people read books like The Soul of Man under Socialism by Wilde and the socialist writings of William Morris than there are members of our movement.
Surely these readers must find these works confusing, not knowing what socialism is, but thinking it means nationalisation/state control?
It’s hardly a secret that “socialism” or “communism” can mean something other than state control or nationalism. If the only people that knew this were the 10 members of the socialist party we may as well give up.
I think you overestimate the number of people who have read “News from Nowhere” and “The Soul of Man Under Socialism” and underestimate the number of people who read our publications or those who are members/agree with our view about Socialism. To be fair, in terms of percentage of the people in the whole world, it is not really important
