A few pertinent Upton Sinclair quotes seem in order here*:
“It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends on his not understanding it.”
“Fascism is capitalism plus murder.”
“Day by day the money-masters of America become more aware of their danger, they draw together, they grow more class-conscious, more aggressive. American political corruption was the buying up of legislatures and assemblies to keep them from doing the people’s will and protecting the people’s interests; it was the exploiter entrenching himself in power, it was financial autocracy undermining and destroying political democracy.
By the blindness and greed of ruling classes the people have been plunged into infinite misery.”
*h/t to Pamela Drew for the first quote (an old favorite but one she shared recently)
