"You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich. You cannot
strengthen the weak by weakening the strong. You cannot bring about
prosperity by discouraging thrift. You cannot lift the wage earner up
by pulling the wage payer down. You cannot further the brotherhood of

by taking away people's initiative and independence. You cannot help
people permanently by doing for them, what they could and should do
for themselves." * * * * * * * * Abraham Lincoln

A favorite quotation from the libertarian socialist, Noam Chomsky:

"All over the place, from the popular culture to the propaganda
system, there is constant pressure to make people feel that they are
helpless, that the only role they can have is to ratify decisions and
to consume."


Isnt quoting Noam Chomsky sorta like quoting Lennon instead of Lenin?
