To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
No one, indeed, would be a slave, everyone would have an elementary education and a chance to demonstrate his capacity; but he would be probably condemned to those occupa- tions which in ancient republics were assigned to slaves. At least at the opening of his career he would find himself on the lowest subsisting plane of humanity, and he would probably remain on it throughout his life. In other words, the citizens of a social democracy would be all labourers; for 124 THE LIFE OF KEASON even th...ose who rose to be leaders would, in a genuine democracy, rise from the ranks and be- long in education and habits to the same class as all the others.
Under such circumstances the first virtue which a democratic society woidd have to possess would be enthusiastic diligence. The motives for work Danger* to which have hitherto prevailed in the current ciTiii- world have been want, ambition, and **''°°" love of occupation : in a social democ- racy, after the first was eliminated, the last alone would remain eflBcacious.
