Rohith S. Katbamna
“Their society had been built to fail. Dynasties of power and parties of authority had on retrospect, staged countless renditions of the same play. Granted, an evolution had occurred. But the story unfolded the same way.”
Rohith S. Katbamna, Down and Rising

Silvia Federici
“Only from a capitalist viewpoint being productive is a moral virtue, if not a moral imperative. From the viewpoint of the working class, being productive simply means being exploited.”
Silvia Federici, Revolution at Point Zero: Housework, Reproduction, and Feminist Struggle
