This brutal order of things must be overthrown. The human race was not born to degeneracy.
A thousand heads have grown for every thousand pairs of hands; a thousand hearts throb in testimony of the unity of heads and hands; and a thousand souls, though crushed and mangled, burn in protest and are pledged to redeem a thousand men.
Heads and hands, hearts and souls, are the heritage of all.
Full opportunity for full development is the unalienable right of all.
He who denies it is a tyrant; he who does not demand it is a coward; he who is indifferent to it is a slave; he who does not desire it is dead.
The earth for all the people! That is the demand.
The machinery of production and distribution for all the people! That is the demand.
The collective ownership and control of industry and its democratic management in the interest of all the people! That is the demand.
The elimination of rent, interest and profit and the production of wealth to satisfy the wants of all the people! That is the demand.
Co-operative industry in which all shall work together in harmony as the basis of a new social order, a higher civilization, a real republic! That is the demand.
