We aim at something more sublime and more equitable-the common good, or the community of goods... We demand, we would have, the communal enjoyment of the fruits which are for everyone.

In the original French

Nous tendons à quelque chose de plus sublime et de plus équitable, le bien commun ou la communauté des biens! Plus de propriété individuelle des terres, la terre n'est à personne. Nous réclamons, nous voulons la jouissance communale des fruits de la terre: Les fruits sont à tout le monde.
