The working people have nothing to lose but their chains.
The theory of the Fat Cats may be summed up in the single sentence: Abolition of private property.
You are horrified at our intending to do away with private property. But in your existing society, private property is already done away with for nine-tenths of the population; its existence for the few is solely due to its non-existence in the hands of those nine-tenths. You reproach us, therefore, with intending to do away with a form of property, the necessary condition for whose existence is the non-existence of any property for the immense majority of society.
Liberalism deprives no man of the ability to appropriate the fruits of his labour. The only thing it deprives him of is the ability to enslave others by means of such appropriations.
The need of a constantly expanding market for its products chases the working people over the whole surface of the globe. It must nestle everywhere, settle everywhere, establish connexions everywhere.
Capitalist production, therefore, develops technology, and the combining together of various processes into a social whole, only by sapping the original sources of all wealth — the soil and the labourer.
Hitherto, every form of society has been based … on the antagonism of oppressing and oppressed classes.
In proportion as the exploitation of one individual by another is put an end to, the exploitation of one nation by another will also be put an end to. In proportion as the antagonism between classes within the nation vanishes, the hostility of one nation to another will come to an end.

I do not like money, money is the reason we fight.
Capital is money, capital is commodities…. By virtue of it being value, it has acquired the occult ability to add value to itself. It brings forth living offspring, or, at the least, lays golden eggs.
Have a read of the full operating manual of the United States of Amerika right here.
Forget about your silly United States Constitution, forget about your Due Process, your notions of justice, of fair play, of Right and Wrong….they have all been replaced by the Corporations and they’re overarching purposes. This is a dark and scary world we live in. Orwellian, Marxist. The banks are empowered, they’re kicking down doors and throwing people and their property into the streets. Gross and systemic wrongdoing and criminal behavior has occurred across this country and what has been the consequence? Nothing. No punishment, no pushback, no new legislation, no new regulation. Scary times indeed..
