Yves Guyot

There are three words that socialism must erase from the facades of our public buildings — the three words of the republican motto:
Liberty, because socialism is a rule of tyranny and of police.
Equality, because it is a rule of class.
Fraternity, because its policy is that of the class war.

Yves Guyot, Sophismes Socialistes (1908; English translation 1910), Book IX: “Socialism and Democracy,” Chapter X: “The Impotence of Socialism,” conclusion.
