“The few own the many because they possess the means of
livelihood of all … 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, 1911
