Russian Writer, Novelisst, Vegetarian, Pacifist, Christian Theorist, Libertarian, Ally of Anarchists, and Regarded as one of the Greatest Authors of all Time
: A Russian writer who is regarded as one of the greatest authors of all time. He received nominations for the Nobel Prize in Literature every year from 1902 to 1906 and for the Nobel Peace Prize in 1901, 1902, and 1909; the fact that he never won is a major controversy. (From: Wikipedia.org.)
Quote #11 on Economic Struggle Quotes >> Class Warfare and Property
“...participation in the ownership of land by the proprietors and in its maintenance is a bad thing from which every man must abstain. Hundreds of millions of men without any strike consider usury, debauchery, violence against the weak, theft, murder, and many other things to be evil, and abstain from these acts. The working men ought to do the same in respect to the ownership of land. They themselves see the whole lawlessness of such ownership and consider it a bad, cruel business. So why do they not only take part in it, but even support it?”
