"The only result of our present system - unless we reverse the drift - must be the gradual extension of the fascist sector and the gradual disappearance of the system of free enterprise under a free representative government"

This quote by John T. Flynn is an alerting about the risks of the existing system of free enterprise under a totally free representative government. He is suggesting that if we do not do something about it to reverse the current pattern, the outcome will be the progressive extension of the fascist sector and the steady disappearance of the system of capitalism. This suggests that the present system of capitalism, which is based on the principles of individual liberty and economic freedom, will be changed by a system of government control and regulation. This would result in a decrease in private liberty and economic opportunity, along with a decrease in economic development and prosperity. Flynn is warning us that if we do not take action to reverse the existing trend, the outcome will be a progressive disintegration of our liberties and a decline in our financial wellness.
