Quote by Leo Tolstoy
English (Source)
Socialists make two main mistakes, in addition to the other mistakes, two mistakes that destroy all their arguments. The first is the hypothesis that industrial production concentrated in certain places will remain unchanged even under the conditions of economic freedom of the workers. In reality, the need for weapons, rifles, fortresses, luxuries, railroads, and other items produced now will disappear. Therefore, industrial production, which has always been a burden to people and only appeared under the conditions of the lack of freedom that gave birth to capitalism, will not only not grow, but will disappear. People will no longer live the torturous life in the cities, but will live freely, naturally and joyfully on earth and will not need capital. Technical progress will bring with it inventions that will facilitate production, and manual labor will no longer be necessary... The second mistake is that the socialist order needs administrators. Where will they get people to organize the just socialist order without violent abuses?
