We May Not Say To The Poor: "you Have A Right To Fight The Rich Merely Because They Are Rich And In Order To Make Yourselves Less Poor." We May Say: "you Have A Right To Fight To Prevent The Conditions Of Your Life Becoming Inhuman," But We May Not Say, "you Have A Right To Fight Merely Because You Desire To Have More And Your Opponent To Have Less."
