Thus I condemn tyranny in whatever guise and from whatever quarter it presents itself. All this of course has a current application.“
— Winston S. Churchill
„In capitalist society individuals are controlled by a pitiless law usually beyond their comprehension. The alienated human specimen is tied to society as a whole by an invisible umbilical cord: the law of value. This law acts upon all aspects of one's life, shaping its course and destiny.“
