“Success is peace of mind which is a direct result of self-satisfaction in knowing you made the effort to become the best of which you are capable.”

“The reason the working class is given the central role in socialism and in Marxism isn't because of some moralistic idea, it's because of the objective role they play within capitalist society. They're the only ones that have nothing to lose and they're the ones who have the power to actually change things. And so the working class and the idea of class and class power and the capacity of the working class to transform society has to be the central focus... we've got variations on what you'd call, sort of well meaning, liberal Fabianism. You know, the sort of different people who - very well intentioned, very sort of committed people - draft policies on what a new health care system might look like and then say: 'This is what we're going to do for you...' but that's not how it works. You have to empower people and make them the agents in the transformation of society and that's part of your process of political education.”
