Now, as there are Liberals and Tories, Catholics and Protestants, Dockers' Unions and Shipping Federations in England; so there are Socialists and non-Socialists. And as there are different kinds of Socialists, so there are different kinds of non-Socialists. As there is one point, or _principle_, on which all kinds of Socialists agree; so there is one point, or _principle_, on which all kinds of non-Socialists agree. Amongst the non-Socialists there are Liberals and Tories, Catholics and Protestants, masters and workmen, rich and poor, lords and labourers, publicans and teetotalers; and these folks, as you know, differ in their ideas, and quarrel with and go against each other; but they are all non-Socialists, they are all against _Socialism_, and they all agree upon _one point_. So, if we can find the one point on which all kinds of non-Socialists agree, we shall find the _principle_, or root idea, of non-Socialism. Well, the "principle" of non-Socialism is just the opposite of the "principle" of _Socialism_. As the "principle" of _Socialism_ is national ownership, so the "principle" of non-Socialism is _private_ ownership. As the principle of _Socialism_ is _Britain for the British_, so the principle of non-Socialism is _Every Briton for Himself_. Again, as the principle of _Socialism_ means two things, so does the principle of non-Socialism mean two things. As the principle of _Socialism_ means national ownership and co-operative national management, so the principle of non-Socialism means _private ownership_ and _private management_. _Socialism_ says that Britain shall be owned and managed _by_ the people _for_ the people. Non-Socialism says Britain shall be owned and managed _by_ some persons _for_ some persons. Under _Socialism_ you would have _all_ the people working _together_ for the good of _all_. Under non-Socialism you have all the _persons_ working _separately_ (and mostly _against_ each other), each for the good of _himself_. So we find _Socialism_ means _Co-operation_, and non-Socialism means _Competition_. Co-operation, as here used, means operating or working together for a common end or purpose. Competition means competing or vying with each other for personal ends or gain. I'm afraid that is all as "dry" as bran, and as sad as a half-boiled dumpling; but I want to make it quite plain. And now we will run over it all again in a more homely and lively way. You know that to-day most of the land in Britain belongs to landlords, who let it to farmers or builders, and charge _rent_ for it. Socialists (_all_ Socialists) say that _all_ the land should belong to the British people, to the nation. You know that the railways belong to railway companies, who carry goods and passengers, and charge fares and rates, to make _profit_.
