: A French politician and historian. A socialist who favored reforms, he called for the creation of cooperatives in order to guarantee employment for the urban poor.

Quote #4 on Economic Struggle Quotes >> Workers and Solidarity
“The worker will not arm himself in the name of personal suffering; he will arm himself because he feels the suffering of his old father, of his wife, of his children, of his comrades. He will protest against the continuation of misery, not only because it tortures the body, but because it oppresses the soul.
[Chapter 4: The June Insurrection, Page 159.]”
