Oscar Wilde presents a libertarian socialist view of the economic
disparities caused by capitalism, that lead to futile acts of
charity instead of definitive solutions. Wilde encourages an
overhaul of the structures that allow such inequalities to exist.
The Soul of Man Under Socialism is an insightful look into Wilde's
personal and political beliefs. Within the essay he emphasizes
individualism over group think, using Jesus Christ as a prime
example. He also offers a detailed critique of capitalist societies
that revel in charity, instead of eliminating its need. Poverty
cannot be fought with kindness; it requires genuine compassion
backed by policy. Wilde's perspective was heavily influenced by the
writings of Peter Kropotkin, a Russian anarchist and socialist. In
The Soul of Man Under Socialism, Wilde invokes powerful ideas that
call for accountability and drastic change. It's a raw declaration
of his contemporary anarchist views. With an eye-catching new
cover, and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of The
Soul of Man Under Socialism is both modern and readable.
