""Under the term "opera' I comprehend all choreographic exercises, including those of the rifle and the censer." Fourier, Le Nouveau Monde industriel et societaire (Paris, 1829), p. 260. [W14a,4] "The phalanstery is organized like a land of milk and honey. Even amusements (hunting, fishing, making mnsic, growing flowers, performing in theatricals) are remunerated. [W14a,5] Fourier does not know the concept of exploitation. [W14a,6] In reading Fourier, one is reminded of the sentence by Karl Kraus: "I preach wine and drink water;' [W14a,7] Bread plays only a small role in the diet of the Harmoniens. [W14a,8] ""The initiation of barbarians in the use of tactics is one of the signs of the degeneration . . . of civilization." E. Silberling, Dictionnaire de sociologie phalansterienne (Paris, 1911), p. 424 (s.v. "tactics"). [W14a,9] "The savage enjoys seven natural rights . . . : hunting, fishing, harvesting, pasture, external theft (that is, pillaging of what helongs to other tribes), the federal league (the intrigues and cabals internal to the tribe), and insouciance." Armand and MauLlanc, Fourier (Paris, 1937), vol. 2, p. 78. [W14a,lO] The poor man speaks: ""I ask to be advanced the necessary tools . .. and enough to live on, in exchange for the right to steal which simple nature has given me." Cited in Armand and M.aublanc, Fourier (Paris, 1937), vol. 2, p. 82. ["VI5)] In the phalanstery, a caravansary is outfitted for the reception of foreigners. A structure characteristic of the phalanstery is the "tower of order;' This building houses the optical telegraph, the control center for the signal lights, and the carner pIgeons. [W15,2] The circulation of works useful to all the phalansteries amounts 1:0 800,000 copies. Fourier thinks, above all, of publishing an Encyclopaedie naturologique caluminee. [W15,3] Fourier loves to clothe the most reasonable sentilnents in fanciful considerations. His discourse resembles a higher flower language."; [W15,4] Fourier would like to see the people who serve no useful purpose in civilization those who merely gad about in search of news to communicate-circulating among the tables of the Harrnonians, so as to keep people tilere from losing tinle in reading newspapers: a divination of radio, born from the study of human character. [W15,5]
Fourier: 'Every calling has its countermorality and its principles." Cited in Armand and Maublanc, Fourier (Paris, 1937). vol. 2, p. 97. Fourier mentions, as examples, le mande galant and the world of domestic servants. [W15,6] "'After three generations of Harmony, two-thirds of the women will he unfruitful, as is the case with all flowers which, by the refinements of cultivation, have been raised to a high degree of perfection." Fourier, La Fausse Industrie (Paris, 1835- 1836), vol. 2, pp. 560-561.37 [W15,7] The voluntary submissiveness of the savage, with his seven natural rights, would be. according to Fourier, the touchstone of civilization. It is something first obtained in Harmony. [W15,8] "'The individual . . . is a being essentially false, for neither by himself' alone nor with another can he bring about the development of the twelve passions, since these comprise a mechanism of 810 keys and their complements. It is therefore with the passional vortex alone that the scale begins, and not with the individual person." Publication des manuscrits de Fourier, 4 vols. (Paris, 1851-1858), 1857- 1858, p. 320. [W15,9] After 70,000 years comes the end of Harmony, in the form of a new period of civilization, in descending tendency, which once more will give way to "obscure limbs." Thus, with Fouriet; transience and happiness are closely linked. Engels observes: 'Just as Kant introduced into natural science the idea of the ultimate destruction of the earth, Fourier introduced into historical science that of the ultimate destruction of the human race:' Engels, Anti-Diihring, part 3, p. 12.38 [WI5a,l] The mechanics of the passions: "'The tendency to harmonize the five sensual passioos-(I) taste, (2) touch, (3) sight, (4) hearing, (5) smell-with the four affective passions-(6) friendship, (7) ambition, (8) love, (9) paternity. This harmony takes place through the medium of three little-known and abused passions, which I shall call: (10) the cabalist, (11) the butte/fly, (12) the composite." Cited from Le Nouveau Monde, in Armand and Maublanc, Fourier (Paris, 1937), vol. 1, p. 24.2 . :19 [W15a,2] "'A large number of universes (sill(e one universe, along with man and planet, constitutes the third echelon, . .. Fourier calls it a " tri-verse") go to form a quatriverse; and so on, up to the octi-verse, which represents . .. nature as a whole, the totality of the heings of Harmony. Fourier enters into some minute calculations and announces that the octi-verse is composed of 10% universes." Armand and Maublane, Fonrier (Paris, 1937), vol. 1, p. 112.
