Turning possession of land into property must be resisted to the end
Drawn from what Pierre-Joseph Proudhon said
What Pierre-Joseph Proudhon actually said
- Pierre-Joseph Proudhon French socialist and anarchist thinker (1809 to 1865)
Lay hold who will, or who can, of the sun's rays, the passing breeze, or the sea's billows; he has my consent, and my pardon for his bad intentions. But let any living man dare to change his right of territorial possession into the right of property, and I will declare war upon him, and wage it to the death!
