@karlwiderquist.bsky.social I thought you’d like this quote from https://jacobin.com/2022/04/socialist-feminist-utopia-charles-fourier-philosophy-marx-engels?utm_source=bluesky I’m sure you’re already across it, but I saw it and thought of you.

A quote from Charles Fourier: “Philosophy was right to vaunt liberty; it is the foremost desire of all societies’ creatures. But philosophy forgot that in civilized societies liberty is illusory if the common people lack wealth. When the wage-earning classes are poor, their independence is as fragile as a house without foundations. The free man who lacks wealth immediately sinks back under the yoke of the rich. The newly freed slave takes fright at the need of providing for his own subsistence and hastens to sell himself back into slavery in order to escape this new anxiety that hangs over him like Damocles’ sword.”

Magnificent evening of panto at the Astor Theatre in Deal. Great cast, with our favourite Dame, Andrew Lambe.
