"It is the lash of hunger which compels the poor
man to submit. In order to live he MUST SELL —
'VOLUNTARILY' SELL — HIMSELF every day
and hour to the 'beast of property.'
The bygone times, when the “ruling” classes,
on their slave-hunting raids, threw their victims
in chains and forced them to work, of which the
rulers had all the benefit — the times when
christian-germanic robbers stole entire countries,
deprived the inhabitants of the soil, and pressed
them to feudal service, were indeed terrible enough,
but the climax of infamy has been reached by our
present 'law and order' system, for it defrauded more
than nine-tenths of mankind of their means of
existence, reduced them to dependence upon an
insignificant minority, and condemned
them to self-sacrifice."; — JOHANN MOST
