PEOPLE_UNGROUNDED
'That word _people_ is so indefinite,'
said Levin. 'Clerks in district
offices, schoolmasters, and one out of
a thousand peasants, may know what it
is all about. The rest of the eighty
millions, like Mikhaylick, not only
don't express their will, but have not
the least idea what it is they have to
express it about! What right have we
then to say it is the will of the
people?'
