—Crystal Eastman (1881–1928)
“Democracy means the organization of society for the benefit and at the expense of everybody indiscriminately and not for the benefit of a privileged class.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
“The methods by which a trade union can alone act, are necessarily destructive; its organization is necessarily tyrannical.”
