Note 1354 — Chapter IV · : THE ANARCHISTS

“In our opinion, and speaking strictly, there is no such thing as a really idle person. There are a few individuals, perhaps, who have not developed as they might have done and whose activity has never found a proper outlet under existing conditions. In a society where everyone would be allowed to choose his own sphere of work the idlest people would be found doing something.” (J. Grave, La Société future, pp. 277-278.) Kropotkin writes in the same strain (Conquest of Bread, chapter on Objections).
