The Ego And His Own - pg. 251

The Communists make this clearer, transferring that imperium to the "society of all." Therefore: Because enemies of egoism, they are on that account -- Christians, or, more generally speaking, religious men, believers in ghosts, dependents, servants of some generality (God, society, etc.). In this too Proudhon is like the Christians, that he ascribes to God that which he denies to men. He names him the Proprietaire of the earth. Herewith he proves he cannot think away the proprietor as such; he comes to a proprietor at last, but removes him to the other world.
Neither God nor Man ("human society") is proprietor, but the individual.
