Quotes

• “Margaret Thatcher, who we all know is Ronald Reagan in drag.”
• “Our fear that Communism might someday take over most of the world blinds us to the fact that anti-communism already has.”
• “In every class society that's ever existed, the ruling element does not rule nakedly. They always adorn their rule with myths, themes and symbols to justify their position at the apex of the social pyramid.”
• “It may come as a surprise to some academics, but there is a marked relationship between economic power and political power.”
• “The close relationship between politics and economics is neither neutral nor coincidental. Large governments evolve through history in order to protect large accumulations of property and wealth.”
• “Profits are what you make when not working.”
