A vast number of them once more are merely parasites of property, some of them openly so, as the soldiers by land and sea who are kept on foot for the perpetuating of national rivalries and enmities, and for the purposes of the national struggle for the share of the product of unpaid labour. A VAST NUMBER OF THEM ONCE MORE ARE MERELY PARASITES OF PROPERTY SOME OF THEM OPENLY SO AS THE SOLDIERS BY LAND AND SEE WHO ARE KEPT ON FOOT FOR THE PERPETUATING OF NATIONAL RIVALRIES AND ENMITIES AND FOR THE PURPOSES OF THE NATIONAL STRUGGLE FOR THE SHARE OF THE PRODUCT OF UNPAID LABOUR
ud position of being obvious burdens on the community. For their work itself in spite of the sham dignity with which they surround it, they care nothing: save a few enthusiasts, men of science, art or letters, who, if they are not the salt of the earth, are at least (and oh, the pity of it!) the salt of the miserable system of which they are the slaves, which hinders and thwarts them at every turn, and even sometimes corrupts them. Here then is another class, this time very numerous and all-powerful, which produces very little and consumes enormously, and is therefore in the main supported, as paupers are, by the real producers. The class that remains to be considered produces all that is produced, and supports both itself and the other classes, though it is placed in a position of inferiority to them; real inferiority, mind you, involving a degradation both of mind and body. But it is a necessary consequence of this tyranny and folly that again many of these workers are not producers.  FOR THEIR CHILDREN THE PROUD POSITION OF BEING OBVIOUS BURDENS ON THE COMMUNITY FOR THEIR WORK ITSELF IN SPITE OF THE SHAM DIGNITY WITH WHICH THEY SURROUND IT THEY CARE NOTHING SAVE A FEW ENTHUSIASTS MEN OF SCIENCE ART OR LETTERS WHO IF THEY ARE NOT THE SALT OF THE EARTH ARE AT LEAST AND OWE THE PITY OF IT THE SALT OF THE MISERABLE SYSTEM OF WHICH THEY ARE THE SLAVES WHICH HINDERS AND THWARTS THEM AT EVERY TURN AND EVEN SOMETIMES CORRUPTS THEM HERE THEN IS ANOTHER CLASS THIS TIME VERY NUMEROUS AND ALL POWERFUL WHICH PRODUCES VERY LITTLE AND CONSUMES ENORMOUSLY AND IS THEREFORE IN THE MAIN SUPPORTED AS PAUPERS ARE BY THE REAL PRODUCERS THE CLASS THAT REMAINS TO BE CONSIDERED PRODUCES ALL THAT IS PRODUCED AND SUPPORTS BOTH ITSELF AND THE OTHER CLASSES THOUGH IT IS PLACED IN A POSITION OF INFERIORITY TO THEM REAL INFERIORITY MIND YOU INVOLVING A DEGRADATION BOTH OF MIND AND BODY BUT IT IS A NECESSARY CONSEQUENCE OF THIS TYRANNY AND FOLLY THAT AGAIN MANY OF THESE WORKERS ARE NOT PRODUCERS
