In New York, also, the situation became complicated by factional strife between the Skidmorian "agrarians," the Owenite state guardianship faction, and a third faction which eschewed either "panacea." Then, too, the opposition parties and press seized upon agrarianism and Owen's alleged atheism to brand the whole labor movement.
"You mean he was an Owenite; all for equality and community of goods, and that kind of absurdity." "No, no! John Barton was no fool. No need to tell him that were all men equal to-night, some would get the start by rising an hour earlier to-morrow. It seemed hard to him that a heap of gold should part him and his brother so far asunder.
Since then the General Strike has been the avowed policy of the Syndicalists, whose organization is the Confederation Generale du Travail. In fact the General Strike was invented by a Londoner William Benbow, an Owenite, in 1831. Without the one, man, being a gregarious animal, cannot subsist: while without the other he would simply be in clover.
He speculates upon the chances of a new spirit among men, of an all-wise legislator, and of the beneficent example of colonies upon the later Owenite model. But his book is contemporaneous with our own ideas rather than with the thoughts of his generation. Nor does it seem to have excited any general attention. It is five years after Rousseau that we see the first clear signs of his influence.
"My word! we've had nothing but lectures lately," said Brooking. "Horrid little Owenite saint." "Saint! sneak, you mean. I'll teach him," growled Pietrie, and jumping up, he belabored Wright's head with the Latin grammar out of which he had just been cribbing. The whole room was in confusion and hubbub, during which Wright sat stock still, quietly enduring without bowing to the storm.
We are exactly as capable of making our own character, if we will, as others are of making it for us. Most true: if the Owenite stops here, he is in a position from which nothing can expel him. Our character is formed by us as well as for us; but the wish which induces us to attempt to form it is formed for us; and how?
