“One man in one mood will attack Industrial Capitalism for its destruction of beauty; another for its incompetence; another for the vileness of the men who chiefly prosper under it; another for its mere confusion and noise; another for its false values; it was until recently most fiercely attacked for its impoverishment of the workers, its margin of unemployment and the rest - indeed so fiercely that it was compelled to seek palliatives for the evil. With a mass of men it was attacked from a vague but strong sense of injustice; it allowed a few rich to exploit mankind.” MenValuesEvilPoliticsStrongEconomyRichMankindHe ManMassCapitalismDestructionMereWorkersInjusticeMoodNoiseConfusionLiberalismOne ManVagueUnemploymentCompelledExploitsMarginsIncompetence Author:Hilaire Belloc

“Dawn Of The Dead is about how we're just a country cannibalizing itself, turning into one shopping mall, and everyone at the mall is just brain-dead, wandering around. Capitalism gone awry, and the worst parts of human nature coming out. All these different things that people read into the films that are all there, very strong anti-Bush sentiments that went into making those films. It's great. I like it when people get it the second or third time, when someone else points it out to them. They don't realize it's been there all along. Those are my favorite movies.” PeopleHumansDifferentCountryFilmStrongRealizingBrainGoneWorstHuman NatureCapitalismThirdsMy FavoriteWanderDawnDifferent ThingsSentimentsShoppingComing OutVery StrongMallsThird TimeWandering AroundBrain Dead Author:Eli Roth
“Frankly, the conservatives need to be better conservatives. Real conservatives actually respect our Constitution and would stand up to an authoritarian. Real conservatives believe in clean, limited government and would stand up to anybody who is basically setting up a kleptocracy, nepotism, and crony capitalism. And real conservatives are actually strong for America and not weak for Russia.” NeedsBelieveRealGovernmentAmericaStrongCapitalismWeakConstitutionCleanRussiaSettingSettingsLimited GovernmentNepotismCroniesCrony Capitalism Author:Van Jones

“Socialism and Communism don't work, but neither does straightforward capitalism. We've got to get a new way of thinking and working. We blew it so there was good and bad about the celtic tiger.
