Note 664 — Chapter V · : PROUDHON AND THE SOCIALISM OF 1848
R. (Robert) Richards translation
Œuvres, vol. xviii, pp. 6-7. See also the letter dated February 25, 1848 (Correspondance, vol. ii, p. 280): “France will certainly accomplish it, whether it remains a republic or not. It might even be carried out by the present decadent Government, at a trifling cost.” This thought did not prevent his taking a hand in the Revolution.
