Here's Willliam Morris writing about "Equality". Beautiful looking page, even aside from the things he wrote.

For example:

There is no legal arbitrary obstacle to a labourer raising himself into the privileged class, and this fact is the safety-valve to our society of inequality, which without it would at once explode in mere violence. But this safety-valve is the creation of the ideal of commercial society which puts forward the acquirement of riches as the one aim of life; i.e., bids every man struggle to attain a position of social usefulness as the reward of labour: which means in plain terms that our society ignores all society but that of club law:

That those shall take who have the power

And those shall keep who can.
