"all proper tea is theft" P. J. Proudhon. I had to look him up.
roudhon, Pierre Joseph (1809-65), French writer and political theorist, sometimes referred to as the father of modern anarchism.
Proudhon was born in Besançon on January 15, 1809. Belonging to a poor family, he received scholarships that enabled him to study and to write. In his pamphlet What Is Property? (1840; trans. 1876), Proudhon condemned the abuses of concentrated economic power and private property. His radical theories made him popular as an anarchist thinker, and he was elected to the constituent assembly after the Revolution of 1848. In the assembly, his proposal to levy antiproperty tax on rent and interest was defeated. He also attempted to found a people's bank at which credit would be provided to borrowers without interest.
