Tuesday. May 12th Midnight came last night. But I want to push
on + say more about all this + I do hope I am not boring
you. I realise that I am probably not saying anything very
original, but I want you to know what I am thinking + I
am burning to know if you agree with all I say + what
your ideas are about our future. I am very anxious that you
should agree with me + then we really can feel a
common purpose + aim. I am perfectly convinced of my
rightness + as you are an honest + intelligent person +
have no false ideas about having a rightful place in the
world except by your own mind + qualities + efforts I
am equally certain that you will be with me- +
so will anybody else of similar qualities.
In my opinion, the capitalist profit making, land + property
owning system has two major + intolerable defects.
Firstly, because the workers + wage earners + that includes
foremen + clerks + shop assistants , yes, + managers too
are pinned down to as low a wage as possible + geared
up to as much work as possible; in the case of
workers on newer wages, their standard of life is very
low, they have very few comforts + pleasures, + no security
at all. And secondly it leads to inevitable international
rivalry in trade + so on to war; this war, + the last
were caused by German capitalism's effort to expand +
the British + French capitalism's efforts to prevent it
doing so; its not a question of National Socialsim +
Democracy at all + anybody who says differently is
talking balls. The only alternative method to Socialism
for preventing for future wars is the continuance
of capitalism in Britain + America + this will
keep going a large army, navy + air force to deal
with any further German attempts to rise up
that might or might not see you + I through
