Quote #6 on Economic Struggle Quotes >> Class Warfare and The State
“...what is that peril?
Knives and muskets, if we meet you in the act; imprisonment, if we find you afterwards.
And by what authority, kind gentlemen?
By our law.
And your law, — is it just?
As just for you as it was for us....
I repeat the question, Is your law just?
Not quite just, but necessary.”
