More From Russel Honore

In the latter sense, a man has a property in his opinions and the free communication of them. he has a property of peculiar value in his religious opinions, and in the profession and practice dictated by them. he has an equal property in the free use of his faculties and free choice of the objects on which to employ them. in a word, as a man is said to have a right to his property, he may be equally said to have a property in his rights.
Religious Communication Men
One ideological claim is that private property is theft, that the natural product of the existence of property is evil, and that private ownership therefore should not exist... what those who feel this way don't realize is that property is a notion that has to do with control - that property is a system for the disposal of power. the absence of property almost always means the concentration of power in the state.
Mean Evil Politics
My position as regards the monied interests can be put in a few words. in every civilized society property rights must be carefully safeguarded; ordinarily and in the great majority of cases, human rights and property rights are fundamentally and in the long run, identical; but when it clearly appears that there is a real conflict between them, human rights must have the upper hand; for property belongs to man and not man to property.
Running Real Men
Legislators cannot invent too many devices for subdividing property... another means of silently lessening the inequality of property is to exempt all from taxation below a certain point, and to tax the higher portions of property in geometrical progression as they rise. whenever there is in any country, uncultivated lands and unemployed poor, it is clear that the laws of property have been so far extended as to violate natural right.
Country Mean Law
My paramount object in this struggle is to save the union, and is not either to save or to destroy slavery. if i could save the union without freeing any slave i would do it, and if i could save it by freeing all the slaves i would do it; and if i could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone i would also do that. what i do about slavery, and the colored race, i do because i believe it helps to save the union; and what i forbear, i forbear because i do not believe it would help to save the union.
War Believe Struggle
There is something that governments care for more than human life, and that is the security of property, and so it is through property that we shall strike the enemy.... those of you who can break windows--break them. those of you who can still further attack the secret idol of property, so as to make the government realize that property is as greatly endangered by women's suffrage as it was by the chartists of old--do so. and my last word is to the government: i incite this meeting to rebellion!

I am a citizen of a country that has just undergone a thieved election, a country deeply and dangerously divided between rich and poor, but also between rich and middle class. what i believe in and what my government represents are not the same thing.
Country Believe Government
Every society, all government, and every kind of civil compact therefore, is or ought to be, calculated for the general good and safety of the community.
