“In former days, men sold themselves to the Devil to acquire magical powers. Nowadays they acquire those powers from science, and find themselves compelled to become devils. There is no hope for the world unless power can be tamed, and brought into the service, not of this or that group of fanatical tyrants, but of the whole human race, white and yellow and black, fascist and communist and democrat; for science has made it inevitable that all must live or all must die.” MenWorldHumansMadeWholeDiesBlackWhiteRaceGroupsDevilDemocratMade ItFormerInevitableHuman RaceAcquireCommunistTyrantsYellowCompelledFascistsNo HopeTamed Author:Bertrand Russell
“The Democratic power elite on some level feels delegitimized by its working-class, black and female constituencies. What it wants are the "legitimate" votes of suburban, white, middle-class, affluent males.

“There is only one party in the United States, the Property Party...and it has two right wings: Republican and Democrat. Republicans are a bit stupider, more rigid, more doctrinaire in their laissez-faire capitalism than the Democrats, who are cuter, prettier, a bit more corrupt - until recently... and more willing than the Republicans to make small adjustments when the poor, the black, the anti-imperialists get out of hand. But, essentially, there is no difference between the two parties.” TwoStatesHandsBitsBlackDifferencesPoorUnitedPartyUnited StatesWillingRepublicanCapitalismWingsPropertyDemocratAdjustmentRight WingLaissez FaireLaissez Faire Capitalism Author:Gore Vidal
