Labor is prior to, and independent of, capital. Capital is only the fruit of labor, and could never have existed if labor had not first existed. Labor is the superior of capital, and deserves much the higher consideration.

The seeming antagonism between capital and labor is the result of deceptive appearance.

What you and I understand as a government doesn't exist in many African countries. In fact, what we call our governments are vampire states. Vampires because they suck the economic vitality out of their people. Government is the problem in Africa.

There are many vampires in the world today... you only have to think of the film business.

Moreover, there is an unearned increment on capital and on labor, due to the presence, around the capitalist and the laborer, of a great, industrious, and prosperous society.

Capital is a result of labor, and is used by labor to assist it in further production. Labor is the active and initial force, and labor is therefore the employer of capital.

Capital is reckless of the health or length of life of the laborer, unless under compulsion from society.

Isn't that an odd philosophy for a vampire?

I've noticed that when people make vampire movies, they're always determining which of the rules they're going to stick to and which they'll abandon.

I figured that, if you do a vampire movie in Hollywood, you've made it.
