Socialism is... not only a way of life, but a certain scientific approach to social and economic problems.

It is science alone that can solve the problems of hunger and poverty, of insanitation and illiteracy, of superstition and deadening of custom and tradition, of vast resources running to waste, or a rich country inhabited by starving poor... Who indeed could afford to ignore science today? At every turn we have to seek its aid... The future belongs to science and those who make friends with science.

We are conscious that religions cannot solve the economic, political and social problems of this earth.

Democracy and socialism are means to an end, not the end itself.

The only alternative to coexistence is codestruction.

Social economic problems do not exist everywhere that an economic event plays a role as cause or effect - since problems arise only where the significance of those factors is problematical and can be precisely determined only through the application of methods of social-economics.
