And, first, I will look on the super excellent workman as an article presumably needed by the community; and then say that, as with other articles so with this, the community must pay the cost of his production: for instance, it will have to seek him out, to develop his special capacities, and satisfy any needs he may have (if any) beyond those of an average man, so long as the satisfaction of those needs is not hurtful to the community. AND FIRST I WILL LOOK ON THE SUPER EXCELLENT WORKMEN AS AN ARTICLE PRESUMABLY NEEDED BY THE COMMUNITY AND THEN SAY THAT AS WITH OTHER ARTICLES SO WITH THIS THE COMMUNITY MUST PAY THE COST OF HIS PRODUCTION FOR INSTANCE IT WILL HAVE TO SEEK HIM OUT TO DEVELOP HIS SPECIAL CAPACITIES AND SATISFY ANY NEEDS HE MAY HAVE IF ANY BEYOND THOSE OF AN AVERAGE MAN SO LONG AS THE SATISFACTION OF THOSE NEEDS IS NOT HURTFUL TO THE COMMUNITY
he cost of its production, and what we now call profit would no longer exist: thus, for instance, if a person wanted chairs, he would accumulate them till he had as many as he could use, and then he would stop, since he would not have been able to buy them for less than their cost of production and could not sell them for more: in other words, they would be nothing else than chairs; under the present system they may be means of compulsion and destruction as formidable as loaded rifles. No one therefore would dispute with a man the possession of what he had acquired without injury to others, and what he could use without injuring them, and it would so remove temptations toward the abuse of possession, that probably no laws would be necessary to prevent it. A few words now as to the differentiation of reward of labour, as I know my readers are sure to want an exposition of the Socialist views here as to those who direct labour or who have specially excellent faculties towards production.  WOULD BE JUST THE COST OF ITS PRODUCTION AND WHAT WE NOW CALL PROFIT WOULD NO LONGER EXIST THUS FOR INSTANCE IF A PERSON WANTED CHAIRS HE WOULD ACCUMULATE THEM TILL HE HAD AS MANY AS HE COULD USE AND THEN HE WOULD STOP SINCE HE WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO BUY THEM FOR LESS THAN THEIR COST OF PRODUCTION AND COULD NOT SELL THEM FOR MORE IN OTHER WORDS THERE WOULD BE NOTHING ELSE THAN CHAIRS UNDER THE PRESENT SYSTEM THEY MAY BE MEANS OF COMPULSION AND DESTRUCTION AS FORMIDABLE AS LOADED RIFLES NO ONE THEREFORE WOULD DISPUTE WITH A MAN THE POSSESSION OF WHAT HE HAD ACQUIRED WITHOUT INJURY TO OTHERS AND WHAT HE COULD USE WITHOUT INJURING THEM AND IT WOULD SO REMOVE TEMPTATIONS TOWARD THE ABUSE OF POSSESSION THAT PROBABLY NO LAWS WOULD BE NECESSARY TO PREVENT IT A FEW WORDS NOW AS TO THE DIFFERENTIATION OF REWARD OF LABOUR AS I KNOW MY READERS ARE SURE TO WANT AN EXPOSITION OF THE SOCIALIST VIEWS HERE AS TO THOSE WHO DIRECT LABOUR OR WHO HAVE SPECIALLY EXCELLENT FACULTIES TOWARDS PRODUCTION
