I am now 24 books into the year, and I have decided to read this one next, for absolutely no reason other than I don’t appear to have read it before and that definitely needs to be rectified

Wisdom in Space Mar 17

That which we obtain too easily, we esteem too lightly. It is dearness only which gives everything its value. Heaven knows how to put a proper price on its goods.

#ThomasPaine published the first half of one of his great books, the #RightsOfMan, on #ThisDayInHistory in 1791. It laid out arguments for #revolution against despotism, demanded elimination of the military and aristocracy, and called for a #progressive tax and free #education.

An article, likely by #ThomasPaine, appeared on #ThisDayInHistory in 1775, giving American readers clear arguments for #emancipation of slaves & abolition of #slavery. When arseholes claim it was a different time and we shouldn't judge slavers, they're just telling on themselves.

“Every proprietor, therefore, of cultivated land, owes to the community a ground-rent... for the land which he holds.”
— Thomas Paine, born 289 years ago today, championed a Tax The Rich vision for addressing inequality.

CW: Cenni storici, ghigliottina

Buon compleanno a Thomas Paine, il corsettaio che scrisse "Common Sense" e accese la Rivoluzione Americana. 🇺🇸

Scampò alla ghigliottina per miracolo (un segno di gesso su una porta!), ma non trovò pace nemmeno da morto. Oggi raccontiamo l'uomo che ha letteralmente "perso i pezzi".

250 years ago today "Common Sense" by Thomas Paine, advocating independence from Great Britain, was published. In the 47 pages Paine collected moral (not the FITWH kind of morals) and political arguments to encourage common people in the Colonies to fight for egalitarian government.
