There is no freedom without groceries. There are no groceries without freedom. What people call 'capitalism' and 'socialism' are actually one and inseparable. It's a virtuous circle.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
True individual freedom cannot exist without economic security and independence. People who are hungry and out of a job are the stuff of which dictatorships are made.
Freedom is the by-product of economic surplus.
Freedom must be gained step by step, slowly. Freedom is a food which must be carefully administered when people are too hungry for it.
Freedom possesses many meanings. It speaks not merely in terms of political and religious liberty but also in terms of economic and social progress.
There can be no liberty unless there is economic liberty.
I have said democracy and freedom do not work too well if you are hungry, if you are starving.
There is no such thing as a little freedom. Either you are all free, or you are not free.
I grew up in a socialist country. And I have seen what that does to people. There is no hope, no freedom. No pride in achievement.
Capitalism offers you freedom, but far from giving people freedom, it enslaves them.
Freedom in capitalist society always remains about the same as it was in ancient Greek republics: Freedom for slave owners.
