Reckless mania of today’s socialists

In the financial and commodity markets a frenzy of speculation runs until exhaustion. And frenzy is the right word as soaring prices become irresistible, whether the action is in stocks, bonds, or commodities. The crowd finds its own compulsions and the action is essentially the same no matter the object of desire. And it always runs until it collapses. Along with speculation in the financial markets, the compulsion by today’s socialists to politicize all, repeat all, decision-making has become a reckless mania. Both phenomena are impetuous enough to be considered as ending action.
