"Stand up everyone!

And by the arm and the heart,

By speech and by the pen,

By dagger and rifle,

By irony and imprecation,

By pillage and adultery,[i]

By poisoning and fire,[ii]

Let us make, – on the highway of principles or in the corner of individual rights, – by insurrection or by assassination, – war to society!… war to civilization!…[iii]" -Joseph Dejacque

[i] By adultery, which is to say, by making the greatest possible disorganization in the household. Let no husband be able to say: “I am the father of that child.” And, finding in marriage only fatigue and disgust, an insupportable existence, let him be constrained, in order to escape it, to demand amorous liberty himself, and give up his authority.–In all things, let the good be born from the excess of evil, since, by their résistance to progress, the criminals in power require it thus.

[ii] Let every revolutionary choose, among those among whom they believe they can count the most, one or two other proletarians like themselves. And let all,–in groups of three or four, being unconnected and functioning in isolations, so that the discovery of one of the groups does not lead to the arrest of the other,–act with the common aim of destroying the old society, and putting the privileged in peril so well and at so many moments of the day, that they will be obliged, in order to escape ruin and death, to make common cause with the proletarians to demand equality; let it be for them so that they can see salvation only in the destruction of their privilege, and let their interest, finally, legislate for them a desire to return to the realm of common right. -Dejacque

"In another group where there is a confectioner worker, the worker should make every effort to be employed in one of the big houses which furnish the aristocracy, and on New Year’s Eve, I suppose, or the day before, let them poison on, or ten, or twenty bowls of bonbons, as many as they can, and on that next day let a hundred or a thousand aristocrats cease to live. Let the secret society, through its clandestine printers, then claim the responsibility for it, and let the stoic poisoner vanish, fleeing to escape an arrest." -Dejacque

"Let the sword of Damocles be constantly suspended over the heads of the privileged; let the serpents of terror, like those of Nemesis, hiss day and night in their ears and make the tremble for their gold and their lives; let their position no longer be bearable and let them, weary from so much anguish, be forced to fall their knees and ask for mercy and beg the proletariat to grant them their lives in exchange for their privilege, and common happiness in exchange for general misfortune."

"Let them say then to those who are there to condemn them: “Tomorrow, if you do not acquit me, you will be dead. I call in a loud voice to you, the daggers of the secret societies of which I am a member, and that invocation, know it well, is for all of them an order!… And now strike me, if you dare!” And the next day, if that revolutionary is condemned, let the secret societies make perish, at any price and whatever peril there is in doing it, the judges and juries who have handed in the sentence. " Cold.

"Ah! Gentlemen of the family and property, of religion and government, you want privilege, well! Suffer the consequences… Do you think that your life, your world, your worm-eaten society hold on long against such revolutionary means? What do you say, children of Malthus? "
