"A
man who chooses between drinking a glass of milk and a glass
of a solution of potassium cyanide does not choose between two
beverages; he chooses between life and death. A society that
chooses between capitalism and socialism does not choose between
two social systems; it chooses between social cooperation and
the disintegration of society. Socialism is not an alternative
to capitalism; it is an alternative to any system under which
men can live as human beings."
