LAST DITCH OF DEMOCRACY - Majority Rights

on a professorial conference of several hundred persons, and not three of
’em had any glimmer of this simple tripartite division.
ALL purchasing power does NOT come from labor. All real wealth
comes from natural resources PLUS labor. The shyster wants to hog
natural resources, and sweat the hide of labor. That is the cause of
unpleasantness. There is no wangle or dirty wheeze that the shyster
won’t think up and use to get a monopoly, to violate the just price, to
keep labor sweatin’. And the shyster is pizin’. He is the sworn
blasphemer, false swearin’ and cheatin’ FOE to all labor, past, present,
and labor to come. And you better discover this. You better kick him out
of your hemisphere. You better invent some bug poison that will
eliminate him from your system.
That’s what non-shyster Europe is drivin’ at. The shyster got hold of
Russia. He sweat the hide off of labor, he built the Stalin canal, and I
advise all readers of the N.Y. Herald to GET the official reports of the
treatment of human MATERIAL, carloads of “human material” dumped
into the making of the Stalin canal.
One kind of shyster succeeds another: shyster penetrates ANY
organization, church or state for the sake of livin’ on the Purchasing
Power that DON’t come from labor. Shyster joins EVERY new
movement so as to be there when it gets big and to be at the exploitin’
position. Gangster shysters, medieval orders of chivalry rose to combat
the gangster, to combat universal brutality and injustice in range of the
individual knight. Or the body of chivalry rose to an idea. With these
two forces, i.e., gangsterism AND chivalry, the feudal system developed.
As law it was a RESPONSIBLE system. The DUTIES of the overlord
were enormous. They required DISTRIBUTION of wealth. Naturally
this annoyed greedy overlords, and weak overlords, and the shyster
entered the system. Ready to sweat out taxes, to sweat the hide off of
labor, and to collect money interest. In fact the shyster is always a rent
collector. And the worm ate into the fruit. Reniou, provençal word
