Abstract
I don't think you realize how hard it is for the oppressed to become united. Their misery unites them—once they recognize who has caused it. “Our sufferance is a gain to them.” But otherwise their misery is liable to cut them off from one another, for they are forced to snatch the wretched crumbs from each other's mouths. Think how reluctantly men decide to revolt! It's an adventure for them: new paths have to be marked out and followed; moreover the rule of rulers is always accompanied by that of their ideas. To the masses revolt is the unnatural rather than the nature thing.
