Machines Quotes

“Men and women ... do you not realize that the State is the worst enemy you have? It is a machine that crushes you in order to sustain the ruling class, your masters. Like naïve children you put your trust in your political leaders. You make it possible for them to creep into your confidence, only to have them betray you to the first bidder.

The State is the pillar of capitalism, and it is ridiculous to expect any redress from it.”

He's a very fast learner. He will figure out the presidency and governing very quickly.”
