But in order that his labour may be organized properly he must have only one enemy to contend with—Nature to wit, who as it were eggs him on to the conflict against herself, and is grateful to him for overcoming her; a friend in the guise of an enemy. BUT IN ORDER THAT HIS LABOUR MAY BE ORGANIZED PROPERLY HE MUST HAVE ONLY ONE ENEMY TO CONTEND WITH NATURE TO WIT WHO AS IT WERE EXAMINE TO THE CONFLICT AGAINST HERSELF AND IS GRATEFUL TO HIM FOR OVERCOMING HER A FRIEND IN THE GUISE OF AN ENEMY
kman can do much more—as we all very well know that he can. Why therefore should he be otherwise than in a comfortable condition? Simply because of the class system, which with one hand plunders, and with the other wastes the wealth won by the workman’s labour. If the workman had the full results of his labour he would in all cases be comfortably off, if he were working in an unwasteful way. But in order to work unwastefully he must work for his own livelihood, and not to enable another man to live without producing: if he has to sustain another man in idleness who is capable of working for himself, he is treated unfairly; and, believe me, he will only do so as long he is compelled to submit by ignorance and brute force. Well, then, he has a right to claim the wealth produced by his labour, and in consequence to insist that all shall produce who are able to do so; but also undoubtedly his labour must be organized, or he will soon find himself relapsing into the condition of the savage. HIMSELF ALIVE THE PRESENT WORKMAN CAN DO MUCH MORE AS WE ALL VERY WELL KNOW THAT HE CAN WHY THEREFORE SHOULD HE BE OTHERWISE THAN IN A COMFORTABLE CONDITION SIMPLY BECAUSE OF THE CLASS SYSTEM WHICH WITH ONE HAND PLUNDERS AND WITH THE OTHER WASTES THE WEALTH WON BY THE WORKMAN'S LABOR IF THE WORKMAN HAD THE FULL RESULT OF HIS LABOUR HE WOULD IN ALL CASES BE COMFORTABLY OFF IF HE WERE WORKING IN AN UNWASTEFUL WAY BUT IN ORDER TO WORK UNWASTEFULLY HE MUST WORK FOR HIS OWN LIVELIHOOD AND NOT TO ENABLE ANOTHER MAN TO LIVE WITHOUT PRODUCING IF HE HAS TO SUSTAIN ANOTHER MAN IN IDLENESS WHO IS CAPABLE OF WORKING FOR HIMSELF HE IS TREATED UNFAIRLY AND BELIEVE ME HE WILL ONLY DO SO AS LONG AS HE IS COMPELLED TO SUBMIT BY IGNORANCE AND BRUTE FORCE WELL THEN HE HAS A RIGHT TO CLAIM THE WEALTH PRODUCED BY HIS LABOUR AND IN CONSEQUENCES THAT ALL SHALL PRODUCE WHO ARE ABLE TO DO SO BUT ALSO UNDOUBTEDLY HIS LABOR MUST BE ORGANIZED OR HE WILL SOON FIND HIMSELF RELAPSING INTO THE CONDITION OF THE SAVAGE
