When the workers are society they will regulate their labour, so that the supply and demand shall be genuine, not gambling; the two will then be commensurate, for it is the same society which demands that also supplies; there will be no more artificial famines then, no more poverty amidst over production, amidst too great a stock of the very things which should supply poverty and turn it into well being. In short, there will be no waste and therefore no tyranny. WHEN THE WORKERS ARE SOCIETY THEY WILL REGULATE THEIR LABOUR SO THAT THE SUPPLY AND DEMAND SHALL BE GENUINE NOT GAMBLING THE TWO WILL THEN BE COMMENSURATE FOR IT IS THE SAME SOCIETY WHICH DEMANDS THAT ALSO SUPPLIES THERE WILL BE NO MORE ARTIFICIAL FAMINES THEN NO MORE POVERTY AMIDST OVERPRODUCTION AMIDST TOO GREAT A STOCK OF THE VERY THINGS WHICH SHOULD SUPPLY POVERTY AND TURN IT INTO WELL BEING IN SHORT THERE WILL BE NO WASTE AND THEREFORE NO TYRANNY
should they be, what will they be, when they, once for all, come to know their real power, and cease competing with one another for livelihood? I will tell you: they will be society, they will be the community. And being society—that is, there being no class outside them to contend with—they can then regulate their labour in accordance with their own real needs. There is much talk about supply and demand, but the supply and demand usually meant is an artificial one; it is under the sway of the gambling market; the demand is forced, as I hinted above, before it is supplied; nor, as each producer is working against all the rest, can the producers hold their hands, till the market is glutted and the workers, thrown out on the streets, hear that there has been over-production, amidst which over-plus of unsaleable goods they go ill-supplied with even necessaries, because the wealth which they themselves have created is “ill-distributed,” as we call it—that is, unjustly taken away from them.  ON WHO LIVE ON THEM BUT WHAT SHOULD THEY BE WHAT WILL THEY BE WHEN THEY ONCE FOR ALL COME TO KNOW THEIR REAL POWER AND CEASE COMPETING WITH ONE ANOTHER FOR LIVELIHOOD I WILL TELL YOU THEY WILL BE SOCIETY THEY WILL BE THE COMMUNITY AND BEING SOCIETY THAT IS THERE BEING NO CLASS OUTSIDE THEM TO CONTEND WITH THEY CAN THEN REGULATE THEIR LABOUR IN ACCORDANCE WITH THEIR OWN REAL NEEDS THERE IS MUCH TALK ABOUT SUPPLY AND DEMAND BUT THE SUPPLY AND DEMAND USUALLY MEANT IS AN ARTIFICIAL ONE IT IS UNDER THE SWAY OF THE GAMBLING MARKET THE DEMAND IS FORCED AS I HINTED ABOVE BEFORE IT IS SUPPLIED NOR AS EACH PRODUCER IS WORKING AGAINST ALL THE REST CAN THE PRODUCERS HOLD THEIR HANDS TILL THE MARKET IS GLUTTED AND THE WORKERS THROWN OUT ON THE STREETS HEAR THAT THERE HAS BEEN OVERPRODUCTION AMIDST WHICH OVERPLUS OF UNSALABLE GOODS THEY GO ILL SUPPLIED WITH EVEN NECESSARIES BECAUSE THE WEALTH WHICH THEY THEMSELVES HAVE CREATED IS ILL DISTRIBUTED AS WE CALLED IT THAT IS UNJUSTLY TAKEN AWAY FROM THEM
