A Biographical History of the Georgist Movement



“The grey heads and bald heads are in the majority. The problem that confronts those of us who want the torch held up in the future, is to fill up the ranks. In order to do that many things must be done, but we must not depend on the old or middle-aged. Somehow or other we must devise a way to reach the minds of the young people – when their minds are open, when they are ready for new truths.”

Mr. Rose, of Kansas City, Missouri (from a speech at the 1928 Henry George Foundation Congress, Chicago. Reprinted in: Land and Freedom, September-October 1928)

...
  • 1943 - Article, "What Lenin Really Said," Land and Freedom, July-August. Quote: "A statement attributed to Nikolai Lenin, in an interview with Col. Raymond robins, is as follows: 'The proper application of the Georgean taxation of land values is a tax on the mentality of apeople and beyond the capacity of a nation not ten per cent of whom have learned to read. They cannot understand it. They can only understand socialism at present. Some day, with a higher average intelligence, we may adopt the taxation of land values and enjoy economic freedom, but not now'.
    ...However, our Canadian correspondent, Mr. Herbert T. Owens, wishing to verify Lenin's statement, communicated with Col. Robins and received the following reply: 'I did discuss with Nikolai Lenin, the master-mind of the Soviet Revolution in Russia, land value taxation and the fundamentals of the philosophy of Henry George. He did reply, that the Revolution was made by class-conscious Marxian Socialists, that this was his (Lenin's) philosophy, plus communism and collectivism, that George's program was all right for individualist democracy -- but that collectivism was now forced by the machine age. He did not indicate any personal sympathy with the teachings of Henry George, but seemed to think that George was among the religious mystics and quoted Tolstoi as his disciple. I do not wish to indicate Lenin gave serious consideration at that time to land value taxation, he having read Progress and Poverty many years before and decided in favor of the gospel according to Karl Marx'."

But ... they paid too much for their deliverance. How will they and theothers bear the burden of such payments in time to come? Henry George was right! Compensation to the landlords is morally wrong. It is rewarding a class for the successful robbery of the people." Reprinted from Land & Liberty, January, 1942
