David Graeber
“If 1 percent of the population controls most of the disposable wealth, what we call “the free market” reflects what they think is useful or important.”
David Graeber, Bullshit Jobs: A Theory

Jason Hickel
“All living organisms grow. But in nature there is a self-limiting logic to growth: organisms grow to a point of maturity, and then maintain a state of healthy equilibrium. When growth fails to stop – when cells keep replicating just for the sake of it – it’s because of a coding error, like what happens with cancer. This kind of growth quickly becomes deadly.”
Jason Hickel, Less is More: How Degrowth Will Save the World

Michael Parenti
“In sum, the myth of a self-reliant, free-market, trickle-down economy is just that, a myth. In almost every enterprise, government provides business with supports, protections, and opportunities for private gain at public expense.”
Michael Parenti, Against Empire

“the destruction of property is usually viewed as violent only if it disrupts profit or the maintenance of wealth. If food is destroyed because it cannot be sold while people go hungry, that is not considered violent under the norms of capitalism. If a person’s belongings are tossed on a sidewalk during an eviction and consequently destroyed, that is likewise not considered violent according to the norms of this society.”
Kelly Hayes, Let This Radicalize You: Organizing and the Revolution of Reciprocal Care

John J. Mearsheimer
“The aim of states is to be the biggest and baddest dude on the block because if you're the biggest and baddest dude on the block, then it is highly unlikely that any other state will challenge you simply because you're so powerful.”
John J. Mearsheimer
