Recorded use
Wiktionary examplesThese source excerpts show how Proudhon appears in context. They illustrate usage; the definition above remains the entry’s reference meaning.
De Proudhon, il gardait la révolte du pauvre contre le riche, le besoin d’une répartition équitable de la fortune. Mais les temps nouveaux l’effaraient, il ne pouvait aller, par doctrine et par tempérament, jusqu’au bout des moyens révolutionnaires.
À droite, les ultranationaux ou les monarchistes, les pré—maurrassiens, les barressiens de la première heure, les héritiers de Bonald, Renan et Proudhon, les supporters de Déroulède, les militants de la Patrie française, et les boulangistes des rues de Paris, tous croient en l’inégalité des races.
