Going through the biography of Proudhon on marxists.org, I found this quote:
Originally posted by Proudhon+ Le Représentant du Peuple, 1848--> (Proudhon @ Le Représentant du Peuple, 1848)What is the producer in actual society? — Nothing. What should he be? — Everything.[/b]
Here is a quote from Sieyes in "What Is The Third Estate?" This was written before the French Revolution:
[email protected] What Is The Third Estate?
Therefore, what is the Third Estate? Everything; but an everything shackled and oppressed. What would it be without the privileged order? Everything, but an everything free and flourishing. Nothing can succeed without it, everything would be infinitely better without the others.

I don't know where I'm going with this. I just find it infinitely interesting to find connections such as these. The connection is most certainly not coincidental; the two are much too similar for it to be a coincidence.
