The Price of the Ticket: “A mob is not autonomous: it executes the real will of the people who rule the State…. The idea of black persons as property, for example, does not come from the mob. It is not a spontaneous idea. It does not come from the people, who knew better … this idea comes from the architects of the American State. These architects decided that the concept of Property was more important—more real—than the possibilities of the human being.”
