- ... to the mother because she is not God. Only God, the ultimate creator has the right to choose who may live and who shall die. Humans do not have the right or the power to control the quality of life and to avoid suffering.

"The separation of ownership from the management and control of industry" (Penguin Books, 1994, p.58). Marxists see political élites as "bad guys" - theoretically, it is because they represent a small portion of the population and are believed to control most of the political power and money.
