"As the State provided everything the individual needed from time of
birth until death, it gave him an opportunity to devote his time to
higher and purer thoughts and purposes than the mere animal desires for
selfish gain, and thus exterminated the cause of deception, fraud, theft
and all other crimes arising therefrom.

"According to our laws the public owned and operated everything, and
produced and distributed all of its own goods. And in doing this it set
aside all superfluous vocations that merely wasted public power and
turned these forces into other channels for the common good. For
instance: as the State owned all of the land and everything that was
produced, and simply gave to the individual that which he was capable of

the community, and able to enjoy all the rights that such membership
accorded, there was no chance to avoid honest work and no room for such
parasites as tramps, beggars and society loafers.

"So that in abolishing the stupid system of individual accumulation and
substituting nature's plan of united labor and honest distribution, all
useless vocations and parasitic accessories were extirpated entirely,
thus transferring that
