The first, industrial; the second, moral. The first promotes wealth; the second, citizenship.

• 10

Government by the people is only a half truth; the other half is industry of, by, and for the people. If brotherhood is the true "spirit of the hive" here, it must be so there.

• 11

Viable socialist communities can only be established with willing members.
