The history of the rise of the German nation shows how the effort to make a nation produced the necessary statesman, Bismarck. Nationalisation creates the right leadership that of the man who is master of his work.
Following Bernard Shaw, came Edward Carpenter, very gentle and very gracious, denouncing modern civilisation in words which were spoken quietly, but which, in print, read like a thunderstorm. Alfred Russell Wallace, whom they invited to talk on Evolution, came and talked instead on the nationalisation of land.
The plan of land nationalisation there explained provided Tolstoy with well thought-out and logical reasons for a policy that was already more than sympathetic to him. Here at last was a means of ensuring economic equality for all, from the largest landowner to the humblest peasant a practical suggestion how to reduce the inequalities between rich and poor.
Rousseau's Héloïse and Goldsmith's Vicar of Wakefield were quite a generation before the Revolution, at a time when franchise and agrarian politics had hardly begun. The poetry and the romance of a great social reformation are never visible to men in the midst of it, who are ready to tear each other's eyes out in the name of Eight-Hours Bills and Land Nationalisation.
I may add that the Fact was not supporting immediate nationalisation; we were against it, for reasons that it would be too tedious to explain here.

After all, who can take the nationalisation of Ireland seriously?
The nationalisation of the Persian Turks would even be a great and unexpected help to the Persian Government.... Persia would be situated with regard to the Turkish Government as Bavaria towards Prussia." And this is only a stage towards a higher goal: "The united Turks should form the centre of gravity of the world of Islam.
The State paid him no salary for being trustee of his own or other people's money he did all that for nothing. Therein lay the whole case against nationalisation owners of private property were unpaid, and yet had every incentive to quicken up the flux. Under nationalisation just the opposite! In a country smarting from officialism he felt that he had a strong case.
And now he had come upon opposition the first cooling of friendships, the first distrust of friends that he had ever known. Early in the spring of this year a book called To-morrow and the Land had appeared in London, written by a young London economist of great ability, and dealing with the nationalisation of the land.
