Pierre-Joseph Proudhon Quotes

Is Political And Civil Inequality Just?
Some Say Yes; Others No. To The First I Would Reply That, When The People Abolished All Privileges Of Birth And Caste, They Did It, In All Probability, Because It Was For Their Advantage; Why Then Do They Favor The Privileges Of Fortune More Than Those Of Rank And Race? Because, Say They, Political Inequality Is A Result Of Property; And Without Property Society Is Impossible: Thus The Question Just Raised Becomes A Question Of Property. To The Second I Content Myself With This Remark: If You Wish To Enjoy Political Equality, Abolish Property; Otherwise, Why Do You Complain?
