Alan Roadman posted ALL below: J. Gresham Manchen....published in 1923: The whole development of modern Society has tended mightily toward the limitation of the realm of freedom for the individual man. The tendency is most clearly seen in socialism; a socialistic state would mean the reduction to the minimum of of the sphere of individual choice. Labor and recreation, under a socialist government, would both be prescribed, and individual liberty would be gone.... When once the majority has determined that a certain regime is beneficial, that regime without further hesitation is forced ruthlessly upon the individual man. It never seems to occur to modern legislatures that although welfare is good, forced welfare may be bad. In other words, utilitarianism is being carried out to its logical conclusion; in the interests of well-being the great principles of Liberty are being thrown ruthlessly to the wind
