Quote #5 on Economic Struggle Quotes >> Class Warfare and Democracy
“At some point or another you have got to deal with the man who says "I should be no worse off under Hitler". But what answer can you give him – that is, what answer that you can expect him to listen to – while common soldiers risk their lives for two and sixpence a day, and fat women ride about in Rolls-Royce cars, nursing pekineses?”
