Quote #27 on Economic Struggle Quotes >> Class Warfare and Exploitation
“The spectacle of little children engaged in gainful occupations is one that should suggest an inherent imperfection in our social institutions. The normal mind perceives it with a shock, yet failing to carry the analysis of conditions to a logical conclusion men and women are content for the most part to follow the mere philanthropic impulses of the heart while ignoring the tremendous challenge which the spectacle presents to the intellect. For there is no more obvious and formidable indictment of our civilization than this.”
