The first person who, having fenced off a plot of ground, took it into his head to say ‘this is mine’ and found people simple enough to believe them, was the true founder of civil society. What crimes, wars, murders, what miseries and horrors would the human race have been spared by someone who, uprooted the stakes or filling in the ditch, had shouted to his fellowmen” Beware of listening to this imposter; you are lost if you forget that the fruits belong to all and the earth to no one! But it is very likely that by then things had already come to the point where they could no longer remain as they were. For this idea of property, depending on many prior ideas which could only have arisen successively, was not conceived all at once in the human mind. It was necessary to make much progress, to acquire much industry and enlightenment, and to transmit and augment them from age to age, before arriving at this last stage of state of nature. . . .~ Page 91
