Light Owl ☸️@angiebaby @NireBryce from "Lessons from History" by Will and Ariel Durant:
"Since wealth is an order and procedure of production and exchange rather than an accumulation of ... goods, and is a trust ... in men and institutions rather than in the intrinsic value of paper money or checks, violent revolutions do not so much redistribute wealth as destroy it.
There may be a redivision of the land, but the natural inequality of men soon re-creates an inequality of possessions and privileges, and raises to power a new minority with essentially the same instincts as in the old. The only real revolution is in the enlightenment of the mind and the improvement of character, the only real emancipation is individual, and the only real revolutionists are philosophers and saints."
