Heather Webber
“As we approached Glory's stall, she grinned as she looked between Chase and me. "Delegation! I love it. You've got some good leadership skills there, Emme honey."
I said, "It wasn't so much delegation as appropriation."
Chase's eyes widened in surprise and then narrowed as he reassess me. "Hold up now. I was being a gentleman.”
Heather Webber, In the Middle of Hickory Lane

Karl Marx
“Communism deprives no man of the power to appropriate the products of society: all that it does is to deprive him of the power to subjugate the labor of others by means of such appropriation.

It has been objected, that upon the abolition of private property all work will cease, and universal laziness will overtake us.

According to this, bourgeois society ought long ago to have gone to the dogs through sheer idleness; for those of its members who work, acquire nothing, and those who acquire anything, do not work.”
Karl Marx, The Communist Manifesto
