William Morris described the system as a battlefield, as owners pushed their workers to new limits to make the products required of them, to make a profit for the owner. Morris then goes on to say that competition between nations, producers, and individuals is immoral and that there is a way to live in peace and harmony. The only way is through socialism. The main idea of ​​socialism is that people should have a level playing field, which would discourage workforce competition.
