Francois-Noel Babeuf on Society - Dictionary of Arguments
Rothbard II 305 Equality/communism/society/Babeuf/Rothbard: The ultimate ideal of Babeuf and his Conspiracy [of the Equals] was absolute equality. Nature, they claimed, calls for perfect equality; all inequality is injustice: therefore community of property was to be established. As the Conspiracy proclaimed mphatically in its Manifesto of Equals - written by one of Babeuf's top aides, Sylvain Maréchal - 'We demand real equality, or Death; that is what we must have'.(1) 'For its sake', the Manifesto went on, 'we are ready for anything; we are willing to sweep everything away. Let all the arts vanish, if necessary, as long as genuine equality remains for us'. In the ideal communist society sought by the Conspiracy, private property would be abolished, and all property would be communal, and stored in communal storehouses. From these storehouses, the goods would be distributed 'equitably' by the superiors - apparently, there was to be a cadre of 'superiors' in this oh so 'equal' world! There was to be universal compulsory labour, 'serving the fatherland... by useful labour'. Teachers or scientists 'must submit certifications ofloyalty' to the superiors. The Manifesto acknowledged that there would be an enormous expansion of government offcials and bureaucrats in the communist world, inevitable where 'the fatherland takes control of an individual from his birth till his death'. There would be severe punishments consisting of forced labour against 'persons of either sex Who set society a bad example by absence of civic-mindedness, by idleness, a luxurious way of life, licentiousness'.(1) 1.
