Socialist Duke


“Striding, staring, he glared at the statue of the Duke of Cambridge. He had been sent down from Oxford—true. He had been a Socialist, in some sense a failure—true. Still the future of civilisation lies, he thought in the hands of young men like that” (50).

Prince George, the Duke of Cambridge, was a member of the British Royal Family who was given the title Duke of Cambridge in 1850; he remained Duke until 1895. Prince George led his country as a Socialist using following the ideas and beliefs that everything should be owned by the public, without anything being owned privately. Peter believes that the future of not only his country, but civilization in general, would prosper best under Socialist rule.
