Quote #13 on Economic Struggle Quotes >> Class Warfare and Subjugation
“We did not regard as humanitarians, for example, these "philanthropic" persons who, having made a fortune by commercial competition, in which the depreciation of wages was a recognized method, afterwards gave back a portion of their wealth in "charity." This might, perhaps, by philanthropy, but it did not seem to be quite humanity.”
