Quote #2 on Economic Struggle Quotes >> State Socialism and Worker Self-Management
“The least democratic countries in the world have state coal mines and state railroads, but they have no ownership by the people. The socialism of a kingly state is kingly still; of a plutocratic state, plutocratic. We mean to transform at the same moment we transfer. The corruption of capitalism, the invasion of the private greed of railroads, express companies, contractors, party spoilsmen, are covering our post office with scandal and loss. We will not abolish the post office; we will abolish the parasites.”
