from ranprieur (the man is a treasure)

"The chief advantage that would result from the establishment of Socialism is, undoubtedly, the fact that Socialism would relieve us from that sordid necessity of living for others which, in the present condition of things, presses so hardly upon almost everybody."

( here 'presses so hardly' means 'presses so hard' )

this is a line we've never departed from, all discussions about individuality happen in the context of the current econo-political scene, and is a reaction and adjustment to it, rather than a separate existence
