Propertyless

They were not democracies; women, slaves, and the propertyless could not vote.

How is it, then, that they are obliged to remain homeless, landless, propertyless, resourceless?

For the greatest lunacy of all is that not one of them can see the smallest reason why any human being should be allowed to live unless in addition to supporting himself he can produce a privately appropriable profit for a shareholder or a rent for a landlord. Why, they argue, should anyone organize the work of propertyless men merely to produce their own food?
