引用:
Our time is rich in inventive minds, the inventions of which could facilitate our lives considerably. We are crossing the seas by power and utilise power also in order to relieve humanity from all tiring muscular work. We have learned to fly and we are able to send messages and news without any difficulty over the entire world through electric waves. However, the production and distribution of commodities is entirely unorganised so that everybody must live in fear of being eliminated from the economic cycle, in this way suffering for the want of everything. Further more, people living in different countries kill each other at irregular time intervals, so that also for this reason any one who thinks about the future must live in fear and terror. This is due to the fact that the intelligence and character of the masses are incomparably lower than the intelligence and character of the few who produce some thing valuable for the community. I trust that posterity will read these statements with a feeling of proud and justified superiority.

“我们的时代充满了创造性的发明,这也大大方便了我们的生活。我们使用电能,把人类从繁重的体力劳动中解放出来。我们能横渡大洋,我们学会了飞行,甚至通过电波,我们能轻松地把消息传送到世界的每一个角落。

“但是,商品的生产和分配却完全是无组织的,人们不得不为自己的生计焦虑地奔忙”。

“而生活在不同国家中的人们每隔一个长短不等的时间就要进行互相杀戮,因此,每一个想到未来的人必然都生活在经常的忧虑中。”

“这是因为,与那些真正为社会做出贡献的人相比,普通大众的智力水平和道德品格都要低得多。 “我相信我们的后人,应当会怀着一种理所当然的优越感,来阅读上面这几行文字吧”。
