Anti-Wage-Slavery, Pro-Freedom Quotations Of The Week 409-413

Our economic system has also taken a toll on the people. Too many hours at a stressful workplace with too little sleep have burned many of us out. Our thinking and identity are about our jobs, not our spirit and character. Our values are devoted to markets with many of us placing making money over loving and caring for families and others. And there's no time for that stuff anyway.

We have become consumers instead of citizens and humans. Decades of falling wages, decreasing savings and increasing debt have tapped us out. Consumption has used us up. And we’re fed up.

So things reached a breaking point and broke down. This has been coming at us for decades. And here we are.

Ruffle the skirts of prudes
speak of their knees and ankles
But above all, go to practical people
Say that you do no work
And that you will live forever
