Quote #10 on Economic Struggle Quotes >> State Socialism and Worker Emancipation

“­Manager: ...you know, authority is the way we're used to working.

Q/A: The whole world's built on it.

Manager: Exactly, but the world is changing. We've got an awful lot of dissatisfied young people in this world right now who refuse to join society, because they don't like the way it's structured. They don't like the way it's happening. They don't like authority.

Q/A: Yes, but actually you can't jump in there and say this is the way we're going to do it, and do it this way, you...

Manager: [Cutting in] That's the whole objective of this program. We don't know what's a better way, because we'd like those young kids out there to get in among us. And maybe there's a better way of doing work, and maybe it's without authority.”
