“Political monopoly and economic monopoly are two sides of the same coin, two heads of the same monster. Despite all the claims to the contrary, the essential ideology of Neo-Conservatism is to preserve the status quo, with all of its injustices.

They fail to comprehend the need for a paradigm of justice and therefore are blind to what concerns most of the people in the world. This failure is the taproot of terrorism.”

“With all of its false assumptions and evil methods, communism grew as a protest against the hardships of the underprivileged.

Rather, their main concern is increasing the coffers of union treasuries by driving non-union competitors from the market.”
