What reading level is The Revolutionary Tendencies of the Age Their Cause And Their Ultimate Aim book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
A popular government is one based on the popular will ; it is an instrument whereby the will of the people, in the form of laws, is en- forced. Where, on the face of this broad earth, is such a government to be found ? Where the one, however democratic in name, which is not an instrument, as are monarchies, to protect the interests, the privileges, of the few? Where the land, the happy land, whose laws provide the greatest good for the greatest number ?
Yet the majority are said to rule.
Eccent...ric majority !
68 THE REVOLUTIONARY TENDENCIES Society, in the so-called blessed lands where Democracy reigns, is, it is claimed, an associa- tion of men under a government having for object the welfare of all the members consti- tuting said association. The welfare of all is the logical purpose of association ; it is the first object of government. If, then, the aim of a Democracy be the welfare of all, or of the majority of, the members of the society of which it is composed, is it not pertinent to ask whether it is consistent, under its rule, to allow a few of the members to accumulate, out of the general wealth, more riches than they can dis- pose of, while others, no less intelligent and far more industrious, have less than they need ?
