About this Quote

In this quote, Abbie Hoffman emphasizes the importance of arranging a society based on individuals's capabilities and desires. He recommends that rather of forcing individuals to conform to a certain structure or system, it is more efficient to take advantage of their strengths and passions. By doing so, individuals will be more determined and willing to add to the society, resulting in a more unified and productive neighborhood. This method likewise allows for a diverse range of abilities and interests to be made use of, producing a well-rounded and vibrant society.
