THE IMP
IS AT THE DOOR
or
200 million
peasant households
can't be wrong

================
yeoman han beware !
or
the market
will take ya
where the wild things roam
=====================
heres what I mean
“exploitation
of the
yeoman peasant
differs only in form
from
the exploitation
of the industrial proletariat
The exploiter
is the same
in both cases
capital
individual capitalists
exploit
individual peasants
through
mortgages
and usury
and
the capitalist class
exploits
the peasant class
through state taxes”
doc M
“The small holding
of the peasant
is only
a pretext
a pretext
that allows
the capitalist
to draw profits
interest
and
rent
from the soil
while
leaving it
to the tiller
of the soil
himself
to see how
he can extract
his livelyhood ”
prof karl
“ UNDER
unfettered
CAPITALISM
the small-holding
system
which
is the normal form
of small-scale production
in precapitalist societies
degenerates
collapses
and perishes”
VLAD THE IMPALER
“ the tragedy of micro farming
is perfected
in the rice paddys of southern china ”
senior wensoslaus
“Proprietorship
of small land parcels
by its very nature
excludes
the full
and rapid
development
of the
social productive forces
of labor
and
of the social forms
of labor
not to mention
the retardation of
the concentration
of productive facilities "
stenko levin
" Usury and taxation
must impoverish
the peasant yeoman
everywhere ”
kropotkin
“The expenditure
of capital
on buying land
withdraws
this capital
from cultivation ”
henry george
( shakey conjecture)
“ small holding
perpetuates
An endless
fragmentation
of means of production
and there by
furthers the isolation
of the producers themselves”
boston blacky
“ Co-operative societies
associations of small peasants
while playing
an extremely
progressive role
can only weaken
this tendency
TOWARD EVER MORE
LANDLESSNESS
without
eliminating it "
leo angler
"it must not
be forgotten
that these
co-operative societies
most often
do much
for the well-to-do peasants
and
next to nothing
for the mass
of poor peasants "
peng t poo
" as for
the landless peasnts
to them
the co-ops
become exploiters
of their hired labor ”
deng chow wow
“ small plot
yeoman farming
is a
Monstrous waste
of human energy ”
thomas alva jefferson
“ Progressive deterioration
of conditions of production
and
increased prices
of means of production
are
an inevitable internal law
of petty proprietorship
in land ”
