By absolute equality understand equality as between share and share of the sharing respectively possessed
the several member of the community in the aggregate to mass of the composed matter of subsistence
By equality all that is here understoodmeant all that any
above consistently with common sense can be understoodmeant - is
such appro the nearer approach that can be made to such absolute be made have
plan without prejudice security, subsitence or, the maximum of abundance
Absolute equality, as utterly were it possible, would be incompatible
with all three. But in no instance is it possible. Not so
much as for a single moment in any commonly large enough to be
deemed a political community can it have place: and if supposing
it to have place for one moment, at the next moment it
next
would be at an end: at the moment of the m enter
or of a word consumed. If a house mansion could at one moment
be cut into a million of pieces, the same mansion could not at
a million and one pieces. This also closely looked absolute
equality so far from being realised, absolute equality can not when closely
looked at, be so much as conceived. Absolute equality is therefore
neither more nor less than absolute nonsense.
