How Sweeney Could Have Talked, But Didn't

[Jeffrey St. Clair]

"You trust too much in the present order of society without thinking
that this order is subject to inevitable revolutions. The Great become
small, the rich become poor, the monarch becomes subject; are the blows
so rare that you can count on being exempted from them? We are
approaching the state of crisis and the century of revolutions."
