A short story by Ambrose Bierce The Bellamy and the Members

Title: The Bellamy and the Members

Author: Ambrose Bierce

THE Members of a body of Socialists rose in insurrection against their Bellamy.

"Why," said they, "should we be all the time tucking you out with food when you do nothing to tuck us out?"

So, resolving to take no further action, they went away, and looking backward had the satisfaction to see the Bellamy compelled to sell his own book.
