"No one should suffer from the great delusion that any form of communism or socialism which promotes the dictatorship of the few instead of the initiative of the millions can produce a happier or more prosperous society"

This quote by Charles E. Wilson is a caution against the false promise of communism and socialism. He is saying that any kind of communism or socialism that is based on the rule of a few rather of the effort of the masses will not cause a much better society. He is stressing the importance of specific initiative and flexibility in order to produce a thriving and happy society. He is likewise warning versus the dangers of a dictatorship, where the few have all the power and the lots of have none. He is promoting for a society where everyone has the chance to contribute and be rewarded for their efforts. He is saying that only when the individual is empowered to make their own choices and take initiative can a society genuinely be thriving and happy.
