Which two sentences in this excerpt from "the new name" by g. k. chesterton indicate that the writer is addressing a large audience? something has come into our community, which is strong enough to save our community; but which has not yet got a name. let no one fancy i confess any unreality when i confess the namelessness. the morality called puritanism, the tendency called liberalism, the reaction called tory democracy, had not only long been powerful, but had practically done most of their work, before these actual names were attached to them. nevertheless, i think it would be a good thing to have some portable and practicable way of referring to those who think as we do in our main concern. which is, that men in england are ruled, at this minute by the clock, by brutes who refuse them bread, by liars who refuse them news, and by fools who cannot govern, and therefore wish to enslave. let me explain first why i am not satisfied with the word commonly used, which i have often used myself; and which, in some contexts, is quite the right word to use. i mean the word "rebel." passing over the fact that many who understand the justice of our cause (as a great many at the universities) would still use the word "rebel" in its old and strict sense as meaning only a disturber of just rule. i pass to a much more practical point. the word "rebel" understates our cause. it is much too mild; it lets our enemies off much too easily. there is a tradition in all western life and letters of prometheus defying the stars, of man at war with the universe, and dreaming what nature had never dared to dream. all this is valuable in its place and proportion. but it has nothing whatever to do with our ease; or rather it very much weakens it. the plutocrats will be only too if we profess to preach a new morality; for they know jolly well that they have broken the old one. they will be only too to be able to say that we, by our own confession, are merely restless and negative; that we are only what we call rebels and they call cranks. but it is not true; and we must not concede it to them for a moment. the model millionaire is more of a crank than the socialists; just as nero was more of a crank than the christians. and avarice has gone mad in the governing class to-day, just as lust went mad in the circle of nero. by all the working and orthodox standards of sanity, capitalism is insane. i should not say to mr. rockefeller "i am a rebel." i should say "i am a respectable man: and you are not."
