<h1>The Conquest of Bread</h1>

|
||||
<p>One of the current objections to Communism, and Socialism altogether, is that the idea is so old, and yet it has
|
||||
never been realized. Schemes of ideal States haunted the thinkers of Ancient Greece; later on, the early
|
||||
Christians joined in communist groups; centuries later, large communist brotherhoods came into existence during
|
||||
the Reform movement. Then, the same ideals were revived during the great English and French Revolutions; and
|
||||
finally, quite lately, in 1848, a revolution, inspired to a great extent with Socialist ideals, took place in
|
||||
France. "And yet, you see," we are told, "how far away is still the realization of your schemes. Don't you think
|
||||
that there is some fundamental error in your understanding of human nature and its needs?"</p>
|
||||
<p>At first sight this objection seems very serious. However, the moment we consider human history more attentively,
|
||||
it loses its strength. We see, first, that hundreds of millions of men have succeeded in maintaining amongst
|
||||
themselves, in their village communities, for many hundreds of years, one of the main elements of Socialism—the
|
||||
common ownership of the chief instrument of production, the land, and the apportionment of the same according to
|
||||
the labour capacities of the different families; and we learn that if the communal possession of the land has been
|
||||
destroyed in Western Europe, it was not from within, but from without, by the governments which created a land
|
||||
monopoly in favour of the nobility and the middle classes. We learn, moreover, that the medieval cities succeeded
|
||||
in maintaining in their midst, for several centuries in succession, a certain socialized organization of
|
||||
production and trade; that these centuries were periods of a rapid intellectual, industrial, and artistic
|
||||
progress; while the decay of these communal institutions came mainly from the incapacity of men of combining the
|
||||
village with the city, the peasant with the citizen, so as jointly to oppose the growth of the military states,
|
||||
which destroyed the free cities.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The history of mankind, thus understood, does not offer, then, an argument against Communism. It appears, on the
|
||||
contrary, as a succession of endeavours to realize some sort of communist organization, endeavours which were
|
||||
crowned here and there with a partial success of a certain duration; and all we are authorized to conclude is,
|
||||
that mankind has not yet found the proper form for combining, on communistic principles, agriculture with a
|
||||
suddenly developed industry and a rapidly growing international trade. The latter appears especially as a
|
||||
disturbing element, since it is no longer individuals only, or cities, that enrich themselves by distant commerce
|
||||
and export; but whole nations grow rich at the cost of those nations which lag behind in their industrial
|
||||
development.</p>
