“If I were to write a 50-page text on how to think about class in the 21st century, I would begin by saying the problem of class is not the problem of the poor, the working class or the middle class. It’s the problem of the ruling class — of a capitalist class that’s so immensely wealthy that they are capable of destroying the world as a side effect of their private pursuit of gain.”
Erik Olin Wright 1947-2019

Okay, first off let me say that there's no guarantee that all of these quotes are genuine. And I dont really care, quite frankly. This blog is devoted to quotes, good quotes containing good ideas that make sense of some sort to me. I call them "quotes" because they don't come from my own head, but from other sources, and I have a passion for accuracy (or something like that). Also, 'cause I sure do love me some quotes.
Sure, it's silly to require some sort of Authority to validate good words and thoughts (assuming the quote is real, of course), but that doesn't make the words and thoughts any the less for that. So I put them here, in this blog, for my own reference and the edification of passers-by.
