But since men live now, badly as they live, when so many people do not produce at all, and when so much work is wasted, it is clear that, under conditions where all produced and no work was wasted, not only would every one work with the certain hope of gaining a due share of wealth by his work, but also he could not miss his due share of rest. Here, then, are two out of the three kinds of hope mentioned above as an essential part of worthy work assured to the worker. BUT SINCE MEN LIVE NOW BAD AS THEY LIVE WHEN SO MANY PEOPLE DO NOT PRODUCE AT ALL AND WHEN SO MUCH WORK IS WASTED IT IS CLEAR THAT UNDER CONDITIONS WHERE ALL PRODUCED AND NO WORK WAS WASTED NOT ONLY WOULD EVERY ONE WORK WITH THE CERTAIN HOPE OF GAINING A DUE SHARE OF WEALTH BY HIS WORK BUT ALSO HE COULD NOT MISS HIS DUE SHARE OF REST HERE THEN ARE TWO OUT OF THE THREE KINDS OF HOPE MENTIONED ABOVE AS AN ESSENTIAL PART OF WORTHY WORK ASSURED TO THE WORKER
 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. The first step to be taken then is to abolish a class of men privileged to shirk their duties as men, thus forcing others to do the work which they refuse to do. All must work according to their ability, and so produce what they consume—that is, each man should work as well as he can for his own livelihood, and his livelihood should be assured to him; that is to say, all the advantages which society would provide for each and all of its members. Thus, at last, would true Society be founded. It would rest on equality of condition. No man would be tormented for the benefit of another—nay, no one man would be tormented for the benefit of Society. Nor, indeed, can that order be called Society which is not upheld for the benefit of every one of its members. ETE 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 THE FIRST STEP TO BE TAKEN THEN IS TO ABOLISH A CLASS OF MEN PRIVILEGED TO SHIRK THEIR DUTIES AS MEN THUS FORCING OTHERS TO DO THE WORK WHICH THEY REFUSE TO DO ALL MUST WORK ACCORDING TO THEIR ABILITY AND SO PRODUCE WHAT THEY CONSUME THAT IS EACH MAN SHOULD WORK AS WELL AS HE CAN FOR HIS OWN LIVELIHOOD AND HIS LIVELIHOOD SHOULD BE ASSURED TO HIM THAT IS TO SAY ALL THE ADVANTAGES WHICH SOCIETY WOULD PROVIDE FOR EACH AND ALL OF ITS MEMBERS THUS AT LAST WOULD TRUE SOCIETY BE FOUNDED IT WOULD REST ON EQUALITY OF CONDITION NO MAN WOULD BE TORMENTED FOR THE BENEFIT OF ANOTHER NAY NO ONE MAN WOULD BE TORMENTED FOR THE BENEFIT OF SOCIETY NOR INDEED CAN THAT ORDER BE CALLED SOCIETY WHICH IS NOT UPHELD FOR THE BENEFIT OF EVERY ONE OF ITS MEMBERS
