阁下,若干年以前我认识到与所有生物都有亲属关系,并依此断定我并不比世界上最卑贱的人更优秀。
当时我是这么说的,现在我仍然如是说:只要还有底层社会存在,我就是其中一员;只要还有犯罪,我就是构成它的元素之一;只要还有人被囚禁在牢狱中,我就不是自由人。
我在法庭上听到了支持这一起诉和为之辩护的所有证词,但我的想法始终如一。
在我看来,间谍法是与民主原则和自由制度的精神公然对抗的蛮横法令……
阁下,我在法庭上已经说过,我对我们现在的社会制度持反对态度;我坚信我们有必要对它进行彻底的改变,只不过,有可能的话,最好能采用平和有序的方法来完成。
……
在蓝天之下,我们的国家倍受眷顾:我们土地辽阔而且富饶肥沃,我们有着取之不尽的原料资源;我们的机器设备是世界上生产力最强大的,为了我们国家的每个公民、每个儿童都能够享受机器带来的利益,工人们使用这些机器制造出大量的产品。
如果我国继续有大量的人民沦为贫穷的殉葬品,一辈子疲于奔命,直到死亡来解脱他们,让他们的心不再痛苦,让这些不幸的被害者进入没有梦魇的长眠之中——那么,造成这一罪过的不是上帝,不是自然,而是我们畸形的社会制度。
这种社会制度应该被消灭,这不仅是为劳苦大众谋利,也是为所有的人类谋利。
阁下,我和其他社会党人一致认为,这个国家应当拥有并控制它自己的工业。
