But it has been shown, on the contrary, even by such incomplete experiments, for instance, as Co operation (so called), that the existence of a privileged class is by no means necessary for the production of wealth, but rather for the "government" of the producers of wealth, or, in other words, for the upholding of privilege. BUT IT HAS BEEN SHOWN ON THE CONTRARY EVEN BY SUCH INCOMPLETE EXPERIMENTS FOR INSTANCE AS CO OPERATION SO CALLED THAT THE EXISTENCE OF A PRIVILEGED CLASSES BY NO MEANS NECESSARY FOR THE PRODUCTION OF WEALTH BUT RATHER FOR THE GOVERNMENT OF THE PRODUCERS OF WEALTH OR IN OTHER WORDS FOR THE UPHOLDING OF PRIVILEGE
is, it forces the other to work for it and takes from this inferior class everything that it _can_ take from it, and uses the wealth so taken to keep its own members in a superior position, to make them beings of a higher order than the others: longer lived, more beautiful, more honoured, more refined than those of the other class. I do not say that it troubles itself about its members being positively long lived, beautiful or refined, but merely insists that they shall be so relatively to the inferior class. As also it cannot use the labour-power of the inferior class fairly in producing real wealth, it wastes it wholesale in the production of rubbish. It is this robbery and waste on the part of the minority which keeps the majority poor; if it could be shown that it is necessary for the preservation of society that this should be submitted to, little more could be said on the matter, save that the despair of the oppressed majority would probably at some time or other destroy Society.  OF THE OTHER THAT IS IT FORCES THE OTHER TO WORK FOR IT AND TAKES FROM THIS INFERIOR CLASS EVERYTHING THAT IT CAN TAKE FROM IT AND USES THE WEALTH SO TAKEN TO KEEP ITS OWN MEMBERS IN A SUPERIOR POSITION TO MAKE THEM BEINGS OF A HIGHER ORDER THAN THE OTHERS LONGER LIVED MORE BEAUTIFUL MORE HONORED MORE REFINED THAN THOSE OF THE OTHER CLASS I DO NOT SAY THAT IT TROUBLES ITSELF ABOUT ITS MEMBERS BEING POSITIVELY LONG LIVED BEAUTIFUL OR REFINED BUT MERELY INSISTS THAT THEY SHALL BE SO RELATIVELY TO THE INFERIOR CLASS AS ALSO IT CANNOT USE THE LABOUR POWER OF THE INFERIOR CLASS FAIRLY IN PRODUCING REAL WEALTH IT WASTES ITS WHOLESALE IN THE PRODUCTION OF RUBBISH IT IS THIS ROBBERY AND WASTE ON THE PART OF THE MINORITY WHICH KEEPS THE MAJORITY POOR IF IT COULD BE SHOWN THAT IT IS NECESSARY FOR THE PRESERVATION OF SOCIETY THAT THIS SHOULD BE SUBMITTED TO LITTLE MORE COULD BE SAID ON THE MATTER SAVE THAT THE DESPAIR OF THE OPPRESSED MAJORITY WOULD PROBABLY AT SOME TIME OR OTHER DESTROY SOCIETY
