Adversus hostem aeterna auctoritas esto (against the enemy the right of defence is inalienable)
- Proudhon, General idea of the Revolution in the 19. Century

Whatever the pace of mechanical progress; though machines should be invented a hundred times
more marvellous than the mule-jenny, the knitting-machine, or the cylinder press; though forces
should be discovered a hundred times more powerful than steam, -- very far from freeing humanity,
securing its leisure, and making the production of everything gratuitous, these things would have no
other effect than to multiply labor, induce an increase of population, make the chains of serfdom
heavier, render life more and more expensive, and deepen the abyss which separates the class that
commands and enjoys from the class that obeys and suffers.
-- Proudhon ДThe Philosophy of MiseryУ

-- Proudhon ДThe Philosophy of MiseryУ


Wealth, the object of social economy, is subject to the same conditions of existence as beauty, the object
of art; virtue, the object of morality; and truth, the object of metaphysics.
