Herbert Marcuse
“The so-called consumer society and the politics of corporate capitalism have created a second nature of man which ties him libidinally and aggressively to the commodity form. The need for possessing, consuming, handling and constantly renewing the gadgets, devices, instruments, engines, offered to and imposed upon the people, for using these wares even at the danger of one’s own destruction, has become a “biological” need.”
Herbert Marcuse

Guy Debord
“The spectacle is not a collection of images, but a social relation among people, mediated by images.”
Guy Debord, The Society of the Spectacle

David Graeber
“For every subtle and complicated question, there is a perfectly simple and straightforward answer, which is wrong. —”
David Graeber, Debt: The First 5,000 Years

David Graeber
“I would like, then, to end by putting in a good word for the non-industrious poor. At least they aren’t hurting anyone. Insofar as the time they are taking time off from work is being spent with friends and family, enjoying and caring for those they love, they’re probably improving the world more than we acknowledge.”
David Graeber, Debt: The First 5,000 Years

Pyotr Kropotkin
“under any circumstances sociability is the greatest advantage in the struggle for life.”
Pyotr Kropotkin, Mutual Aid: A Factor of Evolution
