Thomas More and His Utopia With a Historical Introduction by Karl Kautsky
1927. Two great figures loom on the threshold of Socialism: Thomas More and Thomas Munzer, two men whose fame rang throughout Europe in their lifetimes: one a statesman and scholar who attained to the highest position in his native land and whose works aroused the admiration of his contemporaries; the other an agitator and organizer, before whose quickly collected multitudes of proletarians and peasants the German princes trembled. Fundamentally different from each other in respect of standpoint, method and temperament, both were alike as regards their object - communism, alike in daring and fidelity to conviction, and alike in the end which overtook them - both died on the scaffold.
