Analysis

[edit]

The "analysis" in the article appears to be original research and non-NPOV, stating: "Wells presents an impassioned argument in favour of Socialism yet glosses over the challenges and disadvantages of such a political and economic system. He oversimplifies the opposition by describing them as unimaginative and mean. He ignores the counterarguments in favour of a one dimensional utopian vision." As Wells presented this work to a socialist organisation (The Fabians), urging its members to be less willing to accommodate capitalist points of view, it would seem to be unsurprising that he felt it unnecessary to present counterarguments to his own. Should this section be replaced with one giving cited opinions on the work, or would it be sufficient simply to describe it as a polemic, thus making redundant the sentences quoted above? --Mabzilla (talk) 11:46, 11 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with above, and feel this article desperately needs outside sources. --NDSteve10 (talk) 05:56, 3 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
