„Hire Marx touched the most sensitive of ruling class nerve,
the property nerve. It is important that we should understand this clearly, for
unless we do we shall get hopelessly lost in considerations of the myriad of
trivia that are either secondary effects of the basic factor, or tha constitute
apologies or serve as masks for that crowning passion in class-divided
societies, the passion for property, and under capitalism, the passion and
unceasing quest for profit. An early Greek poet wrote: ' That man does not
possess his estate; his estate possess him.' Our own Emerson put it this way: '
If a man owns land, the land owns him.'
And in the pursuit
of acquiring property, all moral considertions are either forgotten, or
subconsciusly covered over with a thick coating of pretense, or they are ruthlessly
flung aside. 'Make money, my son,' said the duing father, make
money, honetly if you can, but make money.' Another ancient said frankly: 'How
you get your property, that is the question – regardless of the rightness or
the wrongness of the method.' Referring
to the Democratic party, Lincoln said in his letter to Bostonian Reepublicans
who were celebrating Jefferson birthday :
'The Democracy of today hold the liberty of one man to be apsolutely nothing,
when in conflict with another man's right of property.' That is stil the rule and the prevailing code
in capitalist circles.“ Page 45, by Arnold Petersen

Može li današnji svijet, na rubu svog tonuća u ambis, uopće da više prožvaće misli velikana od pred 200 godina, kamo li one od staro Grčke kulture ???!!!
