The Soul of Man under Socialism
Publisher Description
Wilde did not see kindness or altruism per se as a problem; what worried him was its misapplication in a way which leaves unaddressed the roots of the problem: "the altruistic virtues have really prevented the carrying out of this aim. Just as the worst slave-owners were those who were kind to their slaves, and so prevented the horror of the system being realised by those who suffered from it, and understood by those who contemplated it, so, in the present state of things in England, the people who do most harm are the people who try to do most good" while preserving the system.

Refreshing
The essay certainly did give me a completely new insight as to what socialism can do for the soul and mind, but his religious parallel seemed tiring and unconvincing. The religious drivel is, hower, my only complaint. It was easy to read, at least easier to read than other essays on socialism. It was a refreshing take on public opinion, authority, art, creativity and personality. I would highly reccomend it.
Just Chill
Nice read if you want to chill, be non-judgemental anf open to ideas. If you spend time reading this book and fighting with the author, then feel free to do it. Im not going to judget you. But MY ADVICE: Book ia best enjoyed in a space where you can be your true self (whatever that means to you).
