Discourse on Inequality
Rousseau states that with the development of amour propre and more complex human societies, private property is invented, and the labor necessary for human survival is divided among different individuals to provide for the whole. This division of labor and the beginning of private property allow the property owners and nonlaborers to dominate and exploit the poor. Rousseau observes that this state of affairs is resented by the poor, who will naturally seek war against the rich to end their unfair domination. In Rousseau’s history, when the rich recognize this fact, they deceive the poor into joining a political society that purports to grant them the equality they seek. Instead of granting equality, however, it sanctifies their oppression and makes an unnatural moral inequality a permanent feature of civil society.
His argument regarding private property is intriguing(refer to Social Contract). He also favored a "Direct Democracy" ... which is pure ...but also of..."allowing mob rule".
He also favored a Government based on size of territory...larger the territory...larger the Government. The main difference though is via a direct democracy where the Government could be thrown out at any time. private land would be owned by the Sovereign(people as whole).... but also be private via the same means.
We(United States) were set up mainly by his writings/philosphy ... with a few much needed twists. I say this to all those who hold these conspiracy be it similar notions...ie .... :
