In fact, if I have acquired a thing, I can either enjoy it actually, or reserve it to enjoy it later; and if I have more than my actual wants require, I can lay aside what to-day is useless to me, but which will be useful to me later. This is what is called _saving_; and the successive additions to savings is called _accumulation_. This right cannot be denied to man; for that would be ignoring in him one of his noblest faculties, namely, the faculty of providing for the future. In suppressing this right, the very source of all production, namely, work, would dry up; for it is his thought of the future which, above all, induces man to work to insure his security. The right of _transmission_ is another consequence of property; for if I have enjoyment myself, I ought to be able to transmit it to others; finally, I can give up my property to obtain in its place the property of others which might be more agreeable or more useful to me; hence the right of _exchange_, which gives rise to what is called _purchase_ and _sale_. Of all transmissions, the most natural is that which takes place between a father and his children: this is what is called _inheritance_. If we were to deprive the head of a family of the right of thinking of his children in the accumulation of the fruits of his labors, we should destroy thereby the most energetic instigation to work there is in the human heart. =34. Individual property and the community.=--The adversaries of property have often said that they did not attack property in itself, but only _individual_ property. The soil which, if not the principle, is at least the source of all riches, belongs, they say, not to the individual, but to society; to the State, that is to say, to all, as common and undivided property: each individual is but a consumer, and receives his share from the State, which alone is the true proprietor. This is what is called the community system, or _communism_, which takes two forms, according as it admits the division to be made in a manner absolutely equal among the co-members of the society, which is the _equality_ system (_système égalitaire_); or by reason of _capacity_ and _works_. It is this form of communism which the school of Saint-Simon maintains at this day.
