The country is governed for the richest, for the corporations, the bankers, the land speculators, and for the exploiters of labor.
The majority of mankind are working people. So long as their fair demands—the ownership and control of their livelihoods—are set at naught, we can have neither men's rights nor women's rights.
The majority of mankind is ground down by industrial oppression in order that the small remnant may live in ease...
—Helen Keller, 1911
Our civilization is being sacrificed for the opportunity of a very small number of people to continue making enormous amounts of money.
Our biosphere is being sacrificed so that rich people in countries like mine can live in luxury.
It is the sufferings of the many which pay for the luxuries of the few.”
~ Greta Thunberg, 2019
More than 100 years and the title still says it all.
Comments
last commentI would say that it is actually more that the Few are able to control Reactionary Identity Schemes, and that things have evolved since 1848, that original thinking was just wrong in certain ways.

Preamble to the IWW Constitution
The working class and the employing class have nothing in common. There can be no peace so long as hunger and want are found among millions of the working people and the few, who make up the employing class, have all the good things of life.
Between these two classes a struggle must go on until the workers of the world organize as a class, take possession of the means of production, abolish the wage system, and live in harmony with the Earth.
We find that the centering of the management of industries into fewer and fewer hands makes the trade unions unable to cope with the ever growing power of the employing class. The trade unions foster a state of affairs which allows one set of workers to be pitted against another set of workers in the same industry, thereby helping defeat one another in wage wars. Moreover, the trade unions aid the employing class to mislead the workers into the belief that the working class have interests in common with their employers.
These conditions can be changed and the interest of the working class upheld only by an organization formed in such a way that all its members in any one industry, or in all industries if necessary, cease work whenever a strike or lockout is on in any department thereof, thus making an injury to one an injury to all.
Instead of the conservative motto, "A fair day's wage for a fair day's work," we must inscribe on our banner the revolutionary watchword, "Abolition of the wage system."
It is the historic mission of the working class to do away with capitalism. The army of production must be organized, not only for everyday struggle with capitalists, but also to carry on production when capitalism shall have been overthrown. By organizing industrially we are forming the structure of the new society within the shell of the old.

Quoting a retarded 16 year old foreigner always makes me take people seriously. Greta Thunberg lol. How utterly pathetic. People earn their lot in life. Successful people earn their keep; failures are progressive leeches.

Everybody exploits everyone else, if you want to get ahead you need to get your ass out of bed, The thing I like about Greta is she isn't standing around waiting for anything to fall into her lap, I don't agree with her often, but she is doing a lot more than most, whom just stand around waiting for their desires to fall into their lap.

She like many other children is a tool for the stalinist leftist pretending to be progressive.
