Socialism Is Not A Science,

While The State Becomes Inflated And Hypertrophied In Order To Obtain A Firm Enough Grip Upon Individuals, But Without Succeeding, The Latter, Without Mutual Relationships, Tumble Over One Another Like So Many Liquid Molecules, Encountering No Central Energy To Retain, Fix And Organize Them.

It Is Not Human Nature Which Can Assign The Variable Limits Necessary To Our Needs. They Are Thus Unlimited So Far As They Depend On The Individual Alone. Irrespective Of Any External Regulatory Force, Our Capacity For Feeling Is In Itself An Insatiable And Bottomless Abyss.

Society Is Not A Mere Sum Of Individuals. Rather, The System Formed By Their Association Represents A Specific Reality Which Has Its Own Characteristics... The Group Thinks, Feels, And Acts Quite Differently From The Way In Which Its Members Would Were They Isolated. If, Then, We Begin With The Individual, We Shall Be Able To Understand Nothing Of What Takes Place In The Group.

A Social Fact Is Every Way Of Acting, Fixed Or Not, Capable Of Exercising On The Individual An External Constraint; Or Again, Every Way Of Acting Which Is General Throughout A Given Society, While At The Same Time Existing In Its Own Right Independent Of Its Individual Manifestations.

A Mind That Questions Everything, Unless Strong Enough To Bear The Weight Of Its Ignorance, Risks Questioning Itself And Being Engulfed In Doubt.
