“Capitalism stifles people's creativity. Only a minority is asked to put their minds to thinking about society—and most of them do it for the purpose of making themselves richer, not for achieving any common good. Imagine a society in which it mattered what ordinary people thought about what they were doing—where it mattered what an assembly line worker thought about the pace of work, what a hospital worker thought about the availability of medical resources, what a student thought about how history is taught. That's a world in which people would become fully alive in a way they never will under capitalism.”
― Alan Maass, The Case for Socialism

“The first great cause of crime is poverty, and we will never cure crime until we get rid of poverty.”
