My parents had been involved in the labor movement; if we'd grown up in the city, we would have been red-diaper babies.

Modern society, based as it is on the division of labor, can be preserved only under conditions of lasting peace.
I got my start in lefty journalism as a labor reporter at 'In These Times', and it's in my blood.

The hours Facebook users put into their profiles and lists and updates is the labor that Facebook then sells to the market researchers and advertisers it serves.
Must all of them and their families be physically abolished? Of course not? They must be 'liquidated' or melted in the hot fire of exile and labor into the proletarian masses.
Without labor nothing prospers.
