What Randolph Bourne actually said
- Randolph Bourne American essayist (1886 to 1918)
Guarding neutrality, we might have counted toward a speedy and democratic peace. In the war, we are a rudderless nation, to be exploited as the Allies wish, politically and materially, and towed, to their aggrandizement, in any direction which they may desire.
