23811 | If effort is from necessity rather than for a good, it is slavery [Weil] |
Full Idea: To strive from necessity and not for some good - ...that is always slavery. | |
From: Simone Weil (Gravity and Grace (9 extracts) [1943], p.180) | |
A reaction: It is usual to see the possibility of anarchism as the starting point for political thinking, but I think for Weil the state of slavery has that role. |
