“The country is governed for the richest”

“The country is governed for the richest, for the corporations, the bankers, the land speculators, and for the exploiters of labor. The majority of mankind are working people. So long as their fair demands – the ownership and control of their livelihoods – are set at naught, we can have neither men’s rights nor women’s rights. The majority of mankind is ground down by industrial oppression in order that the small remnant may live in ease.”
Helen Keller, educator, feminist and social activist.

Hi Ferrari Emiliano What do you mean by this term, marxisteggiante? That Keller’s ideas are influenced by Marxism? If so that would be because she was a member of the Socialist Party. 🙂 Here’s her article, How I Became a Socialist published in 1912. http://www.marxists.org/reference/archive/keller-helen/works/1910s/12_11_03.htm
