The First Is The Demand By An Organized Proletariat For Sustenance Without Relation To The Product Of Its Labor; A Demand Which Threatens The Very Existence Of Profit (on The Necessary Presumption Of Which Capitalism Reposes). The Second, And Immediately Graver Danger Is That Of A Revolt For The Confiscation Of The Means Of Production.

We May Not Say To The Poor: "you Have A Right To Fight The Rich Merely Because They Are Rich And In Order To Make Yourselves Less Poor."
