Rosa Luxemburg
“What distinguishes bourgeoisie society from other class societies…? Precisely the fact that class domination does not rest on “acquired rights” but on real economic relations – the fact that wage labor is not a judicial relation, but purely an economic relation… How can wage slavery be suppressed by the “legislative way”, if wage slavery is not expressed [by] the laws?”
Rosa Luxemburg, Reform or Revolution

Michael Parenti
“Fascism is nothing more than a final solution to the class struggle, the totalistic submergence and exploitation of democratic forces for the benefit and profit of higher financial circles.”
Michael Parenti, Blackshirts and Reds: Rational Fascism and the Overthrow of Communism

Vladimir Lenin
“...it is not enough for revolution that the exploited and oppressed masses should understand the impossibility of living in the old way and demand changes; it is essential for revolution that the exploiters should not be able to live and rule in the old way. Only when the “lower classes” do not want the old way, and when the “upper classes” cannot carry on in the old way—only then can revolution triumph.”
Vladimir Lenin, Left-Wing Communism, an Infantile Disorder: A Popular Essay in Marxian Strategy and Tactics

“Modern-day exploitation, however, is designed by the appearance of a fair deal. It seems that workers are paid a fair day's wage for a fair day's work, as the saying goes. But we are not paid for our work, we are paid for our labor-power, and therein lies the rub.”
Hadas Thier, A People's Guide to Capitalism: An Introduction to Marxist Economics

“The treacherous practice of pushing subprime mortgages onto working class and poor people in no way represents a departure for banks… and they have gotten away with imposing the highest interest rates on workers, the poor, and people of color… thus subprime mortgages have joined overdraft fees, high-interest rate credit cards complete with astronomical fees and penalties, and payday loans in a long list of predatory products, which are designed to sap income from the poor… as anti-apartheid activist Steve Biko once remarked, “It is very expensive to be poor.”
