ABSTRACT

Individualism for us meant muddle, meant a crowd of separated, undisciplined little people all obstinately and ignorantly doing things jarringly, each one in its own way. Each . . . snarling from his own little bit of property, like a dog tied to a cart’s tail . . . The man who owns property is a public official and has to behave as such . . . What he does with his property affects people just the same . . . No one is really private but an outlaw . . .
