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.

Great book,
One of the most intelligent, thoughtfully brought esse I’ve ever read.It tries to contemplate main issues of society through comparison of socialism and individualism.However, it goes far beyond it and examine all society and it vices.I doubt any words could possibly express the truthfulness of all statements.
