The American Anti=Socialist

The American Anti=Socialist An organ of Jeffersonian Democracy - 1912-1914, No. 1-6.

By John Basil Barnhill, Editor and Publisher.

The inevitable effect of Socialism would be to sacrifice liberty on the altar of a procrustean conception of equality. In the interest, therefore, a political freedom which it violates and derides; in the interest of commercial freedom which it openly seeks to destroy; in the interest of Art and Genius which it would sterilize; in the interest of the Democratic principles which it contravenes; in the interest of the home which it threatens, Socialism must be destroyed.

John Basil Barnhill (1864-1929) Noted anti-socialist writer, politician, lecturer, debater, and editor of various journals including:

The Eagle and The Serpent, "A Journal of Egoistic Philosophy and Sociology." 1898-1902 (under pseud.
