Ideas often kindle each other, like electrical sparks.

Look at the Paris Commune. That was the Dictatorship of the Proletariat.

The proletariat uses the State not in the interests of freedom but in order to hold down its adversaries, and as soon as it becomes possible to speak of freedom the State as such ceases to exist.

Freedom does not consist in any dreamt-of independence from natural laws, but in the knowledge of these laws, and in the possibility this gives of systematically making them work towards definite ends.

The proletarians, driven to despair, will seize the torch which Stephens has preached to them; the vengeance of the people will come down with a wrath of which the rage of 1795 gives no true idea. The war of the poor against the rich will be the bloodiest ever waged.

What each individual wills is obstructed by everyone else, and what emerges is something that no one willed.

Terror consists mostly of useless cruelties perpetrated by frightened people in order to reassure themselves.
