弗雷德里克·巴斯夏《经济诡辩》· Economic Sophisms · 投资
Workmen! your situation is peculiar! They make merchandise of you, as I shall show you immediately.... But no; I withdraw that expression. Let us steer clear of strong language, which may be misapplied; for spoliation, wrapt up in the sophistry which conceals it, may be in full operation unknown to the spoliator, and with the blind assent of his victim. Still, you are deprived of the just remuneration of your labour, and no one is concerned to do you _justice_. If all that was wanted to console you were ardent appeals to philanthropy, to impotent charity, to degrading almsgiving; or if the grand words, organization, communism, _phalanstère,_* were enough for you, truly they would not be spared. But _justice_, simple justice, no one thinks of offering you. And yet, would it not be _just_ that when, after a long day's toil, you have received your modest wages, you should have it in your power to exchange them for the greatest amount of satisfactions and enjoyments which you could possibly obtain for them from any one in any part of the world?

白话
巴斯夏对工人说:你们的处境很特殊,有人把你们当商品来算计。但他马上收回“商品”这个重话,因为掠夺往往藏在诡辩里,掠夺者自己可能都没意识到,受害者也可能盲目同意。可事实是,你们劳动应得的报酬被拿走了,却没人替你们主持公道。如果只需要慷慨激昂的呼吁、无力的慈善、贬低人的施舍,或者“组织”“共产主义”“法郎斯泰尔”这些大词就能安慰你们,那这些早就满天飞了。但简单的正义,没人想到给你们。你们辛苦一天拿到微薄工资,本该能拿它换到全世界任何地方能换到的最多满足,这难道不是正义吗?
上下文
巴斯夏在《经济诡辩》中直接向工人喊话,批评当时各种空谈方案,强调工人需要的是交换的自由和劳动的公正报酬。
今日一问
你付出的劳动,是否得到了能自由换取最大满足的公正回报?
