Quote #27 on Political Struggle Quotes >> State and Domination
“We are living in an age which still permits great wealth and abject poverty to exist side by side; we still hang and flog; we still wage wars, and honor in every way the trade of soldiering; we still ill-treat, hunt, cage, eat, and even vivisect, sentient beings closely akin to ourselves; and we still maintain a religion which does not attempt to teach us how savage these practices are. In spite of scientific discoveries and our boast of high "civilization," many of our doings deserve rather to be classed with the primeval -- the prehistoric.”
