I also made it quite clear that socialism means equality of income or nothing, and that under socialism you would not be allowed to be poor. you would be forcibly feed, clothed, lodged, taught, and employed whether you like it or not. if it were discovered that you had not character enough to be worth all this trouble, you might possibly be executed in a kindly manner; but whilst you were permitted to live you would have to live well.

More From George Bernard Shaw

When you live in a poor neighborhood, you are living in an area where you have poor schools. when you have poor schools, you have poor teachers. when you have poor teachers, you get a poor education. when you get a poor education, you can only work in a poor-paying job. and that poor-paying job enables you to live again in a poor neighborhood. so, it's a very vicious cycle.

A society that puts equality - in the sense of equality of outcome - ahead of freedom will end up with neither equality or freedom. the use of force to achieve equality will destroy freedom. on the other hand, a society that puts freedom first will, as a happy by-product, end up with both greater freedom and greater equality. freedom means diversity but also mobility. it preserves the opportunity for today's less well off to become tomorrow's rich, and in the process, enables almost everyone, from top to bottom, to enjoy a richer and fuller life.
Mean Opportunity Hands
No society can surely be flourishing and happy, of which the far greater part of the members are poor and miserable. it is but equity, besides, that they who feed, clothe and lodge the whole body of the people, should have such a share of the produce of their own labour as to be themselves tolerably well fed, clothed and lodged.

Italy is such a delightful place to live in if you happen to be a man. there one may enjoy that exquisite luxury of socialism--that true socialism which is based not on equality of income or character, but on the equality of manners. in the democracy of the caffè or the street the great question of our life has been solved, and the brotherhood of man is a reality. but it is accomplished at the expense of the sisterhood of women.

In 1492, the natives discovered they were indians, discovered they lived in america, discovered they were naked, discovered that the sin existed, discovered they owed allegiance to a king and kingdom from another world and a god from another sky, and that this god had invented the guilty and the dress, and had sent to be burnt alive who worships the sun the moon the earth and the rain that wets it.
