ABSTRACT

Men who begin to work in order to fulfill the pleasant law of their lives will free themselves from the superstition of property which is so full of misery, and then all these worldly establishments that exist in order to protect this imaginary property outside of one's own body will become not only unnecessary for them but burdensome; and it will become plain to all that these institutions are not necessary, but pernicious, imaginary, and false conditions of life. If the life of a man is occupied by labor, he does not require many rooms, much furniture, various fine clothes; he does not require expensive food, carriages, amusements. The servile rebellions, peasant risings, beggar tumults, rustic outbreaks, all advance the concept of a principle of equality, life for life, which despite every kind of mystification and audacity will always be found in the purest manifestations of the revolutionary spirit: Russian terrorism in 1905, for example.
