Buying your own piece of land is the favorite dream of our commoner, often to the obvious detriment of his well-being ... love for our own land can rightly be called popular among us, but this does not mean that it is combined with love for the communal form of ownership or life ... The whole modern life of the peasant from the cradle to the grave there is a constant desire to jump out not only from communal ownership, but even from family ownership, for which the daily divisions with tearing off the passage from the hut and breaking the saw between two brothers serve as eloquent proof ... The people hate communal ownership and flounder with it because it is from he is not released.
