More quotes by Victor L. Berger

Socialism is the next phase of civilization, if civilization is to survive.

It will depend on our rulers whether we shall have an orderly evolution, which I have always preached and propagated, or a violent revolution, which we Socialists have always tried to avoid.

Political parties are simply the expression of economic interests.

This is the first instance in the history of the world that the oppressed class has virtually the same political basis as the ruling class.

It is foolish to expect results from riots and dynamite, from murderous attacks and conspiracies, in a country where we have the ballot, as long as the ballot has not been given a full and fair trial.
