"Monday" "The thought of my lectures [Principles of Social Reconstruction] pleases me more and more. We must try to found a new school of philosophical radicalism, like the school that grew up during the Napoleonic wars. The problem is to combine the big organizations that are technically unavoidable now-a-days with self-direction in the life of every man and woman. There must, for instance, be railways, but those who work on them need not be their slaves. I believe the State ought to cease altogether, and a man ought to belong to different groups for different purposes, each group chosen by himself, not determined by geography like the State. But that is a distant speculation."
