Extract
Ours is a far less brutal world than that of the last century, for which blessing we are indebted to the determined dreamers of last century who were spokesmen for working people. Today nobody knows what working people think or feel, except that they made clear in the last election that they prefer to be ruled by an exploitive business community rather than by an Upper-Class Left which has, for a decade, made plain its contempt for them. Of course it is a rough form of self-expression to choose between two arrogant upper-class minorities, but this land of thing does not give us the benefit of workingclass morality. Today that is expressed nowhere, for working people have no party, no access to the press and certainly no dreamers. Thus in comparing the futpre-books of last century and those of this one we are really comparing die dreams of two different classes.
