“Our economic order is tightly woven around the exploitation of animals, and while it may seem easy to dismiss concern about animals as the soft-headed mental masturbation of people who really don't understand oppression and the depths of actual human misery, I hope to get you to think differently about suffering and pain, to convince you that animals matter, and to argue that anyone serious about ending domination and hierarchy needs to think critically about bringing animals into consideration.” PeopleThinkingNeedsHumansMayMatterSeemsPainSufferingOrderEasyAnimalEconomicSeriousConcernMiseryDepthArguingOppressionConsiderationConvinceVegetarianVeganExploitationDominationHierarchyWovenMasturbationEconomic OrderSuffering And Pain Author:Bob Torres

“While I am as convinced a Socialist as the most ardent Marxian, I do not regard Socialism as a gospel of proletarian revenge, nor even, primarily, as a means of securing economic justice. I regard it primarily as an adjustment to machine production demanded by considerations of common sense, and calculated to increase the happiness, not only of proletarians, but of all except a tiny minority of the human race.” HumansMeanJusticeCommonRaceEconomicMachinesIncreaseRegardProductionsRevengeConvincedTinySocialismCommon SenseHuman RaceConsiderationMinoritiesSocialistAdjustmentArdentEconomic Justice Book:The Collected Papers of Bertrand Russell Source: The Collected Papers of Bertrand Russell
