16th September 1970 [continued]
I think it
is immoral to take people's money in tax; I think it is wrong to restrict their
freedom by law; I think it is selfish to reserve a part of the Earth's surface,
which should be a common heritage for mankind, to oneself and one's own people.
Nevertheless,
were I in government, I should do all these things and more....
How can
Arnold Wesker say that in a truly socialist state, which he supports, a Stock
Exchange could not possibly be allowed?
Doesn’t he realise that it’s just a symptom -- that to transfer power of
investment would transfer power and privilege, not reduce them?
The use of
it at present may be wrong, being perhaps too restricted, but the institution
itself is neither right nor wrong -- it is there because it is needed, and
harms very few.
