It is amusing to find how near to the truth the capitalist Press gets at times.

Commenting upon the impending dissolution of the Standard Oil Trust, recently ordered by the highest Court in the United States, the “Weekly Budget” (21.5.11) says : “Throughout history economic forces have over-ridden political restrictions as expressed in laws. It is more than improbable that so mighty a monster as the Standard Oil Company, complex of construction and far-reaching, can be crushed be mere judicial decisions.”

Apply the argument to Socialism and you have the case as stated by the S.P.G.B.
