“A person whose skin is metallic can no more have its reproduction restricted than a black-skinned person.

“We have come more and more under the dominance of mechanics and sacrificed living humanity to the dead rhythm of the machine without most of us even being conscious of the monstrosity of the procedure. Hence we frequently deal with such matters with indifference and in cold blood as if we handled dead things and not the destinies of men.” IfsMenMatterHumanityDealsDestinyBloodColdConsciousMachinesRhythmIndifferenceMechanicProceduresDominanceMonstrosity Author:Rudolf Rocker

“The key question facing those of us working in the media (old and new) is whether we embrace and adapt to the radical changes brought about by the Internet or pretend that we can somehow hop into a journalistic Way Back Machine and return to a past that no longer exists and can't be resurrected.

“I've traveled everywhere, and it's been amazing. I used to think taking a flight was kind of a big deal, you know? I'm from the valleys of South Wales and when my family used to go on holiday, it was a big thing.

“Take a very striking case in point: the Russian Bolsheviks. [Vladimir] Lenin created an alleged workers' party, which in every way reflected the Czarist machine, in order to deal with Czarism. And the danger and the hazards of trying to accommodate libertarian principles to the political process as we know it today is that one begins to dissolve the libertarian principles.

“When a man tells you that he got rich through hard work, ask him whose. There's no evidence that more people with more skills would produce more jobs. There's a great deal of evidence that they produce more competition for the jobs that exist, and in turn, drive down the cost of labour. Nothing pleases a corporation more than having five people compete for the same job. Competitiveness means good times for machines, not workers, because our tax systems privilege machines over workers.A lost job can put a smile on any shareholder's face.” PeopleMenMeanHardJobsFacesTurnsAsksLostDealsRichFiveProduceHard WorkPleaseCostSkillsTaxesEvidenceCapitalismMachinesCompetitionWorkersPrivilegeCorporationsGood TimesLabourShareholdersCompetitivenessTax System Author:Eric Reguly
