Except I:
...And so it comes to the fact that, to fight the rich, we must first look to the history of class struggle throughout history. In summary of many other philosophers who have taken to this analysis of history, it is obvious that historically, there has always been an upper class and a lower class, and much of the time and effort of the upper classes was spent in an attempt to prevent the lower classes from realizing their misery and poverty and attempting to overthrow the upper classes...
Excerpt II:
..To the pro-capitalist, the liberal or conservative, what you are fighting for is ludicrous by all accounts. It cannot be imagined a world in which money is not god and the poorest people are not left to starve. They may even believe, if they are committed enough and have swallowed enough lies, that this is a good thing for the poor; they deserve their place because they do not work hard, and if they wanted to live comfortably, why, they merely needed to pull themselves up by their bootstraps, a ludicrous and impossible task which they have taken to telling others to do without a hint of irony. They are unlikely to listen to us, ever. They believe we are children to be shepherded, that they smugly know better. It is a waste of your time to engage in debating a capitalist. He will always win because he is more suave, more smug, he is clean-shaven and has a more expensive suit than you. Do not bother engaging with quips.
Excerpt III:
...In summary: It is here where you will find salvation; not though god, nor through playing by a game rigged against you, nor through hatred spouted like birdshot from a blindly fired shotgun; Action. Action against capital. Organize your friends, their friends. Fight management and the police who protect and serve only profit and property. Fight the government who take no action for it is profitable to them, and who do not care about the workers. We have provided the tools, but you must put them into practice. To quote Karl Marx: "The philosophers have only interpreted the world, in various ways. The point, however, is to change it.".
We are change! We are united! We will win!
