“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.”
— Malcolm X

Why class struggle matters:
If you had $10k saved and spent $100 a day, you could live for about 3 months.
If you had $1 million and spent $100 a day, you could live for about 27 yrs.
If you had $1 BILLION and spent $100 a day, you could live for over 27,397 yrs.
Nobody needs that much.
