When Misguided Public Opinion Honors What Is Despicable And Despises What Is Honorable, Punishes Virtue And Rewards Vice, Encourages What Is Harmful And Discourages What Is Useful, Applauds Falsehood And Smothers Truth Under Indifference Or Insult, A Nation Turns Its Back On Progress And Can Be Restored Only By The Terrible Lessons Of Catastrophe.

Now Since Man Is Naturally Inclined To Avoid Pain - And Since Labor Is Pain In Itself - It Follows That Men Will Resort To Plunder Whenever Plunder Is Easier Than Work. History Shows This Quite Clearly. And Under These Conditions, Neither Religion Nor Morality Can Stop It. When, Then, Does Plunder Stop? It Stops When It Becomes More Painful And More Dangerous Than Labor. It Is Evident, Then, That The Proper Purpose Of Law Is To Use The Power Of Its Collective Force To Stop This Fatal Tendency To Plunder Instead Of To Work. All The Measures Of The Law Should Protect Property And Punish Plunder.

According To Their Degree Of Enlightenment, These Plundered Classes May Propose One Of Two Entirely Different Purposes When They Attempt To Attain Political Power: Either They May Wish To Stop Lawful Plunder, Or They May Wish To Share In It.
