“It is the law of love that rules mankind. Had violence, i.e. hate, rules us we would have become extinct long ago. And yet, the tragedy of it is that the so-called civilised men and nations conduct themselves as if the basis of society was violence.”
“The spinning wheel is not meant to oust a single man or woman from his or her occupation.”
“No matter how explicit the pledge, people will turn and twist the text to suit their own purpose”
More on Imperialism
“...the evil system of colonialism and imperialism arose and throve with the enslavement of Negroes and the trade in Negroes, and it will surely come to its end with the complete emancipation of the Black people.”
“Shall we go on conferring our Civilization upon the peoples that sit in darkness, or shall we give those poor things a rest?”
“Since trade ignores national boundaries and the manufacturer insists on having the world as a market, the flag of his nation must follow him, and the doors of the nations which are closed against him must be battered down. Concessions obtained by financiers must be safeguarded by ministers of state, even if the sovereignty of unwilling nations be outraged in the process. Colonies must be obtained or planted, in order that no useful corner of the world may be overlooked or left unused.”

“Britain's success in the exploitation of non-European races raised the ambition of Bismarck and later Mussolini and others.”
“The directing motive, the end and aim of capitalist production, is to extract the greatest possible amount of surplus value, and consequently to exploit labor-power to the greatest possible extent.”
“You see yourself as a good product that sits on a shelf and sells well, and people make a lot of money out of you.”
