It reads like a flyer you'd get from the Jehovah's Witnesses. What were your thoughts?
By the way, here's something else Ollman wrote about socialism that sounds like a religious brochure, maybe from a cult:
> Imagine walking down a clean street, encountering friendly people, and
> knowing that everyone you see has enough to eat and a decent place to
> live. You do not fear being robbed or otherwise abused, and the only
> police you see are directing traffic. Imagine that you are going to a
> job you enjoy, where you are respected, not overworked, and where all
> your suggestions are taken seriously; and that afterwards you meet
> with friends to pursue common interests with no worry about
> educational or medical bills that spoil most of our good times. Is
> this heaven? No, it's socialism...
