Wikiquote quote of the day:
As concentration and depersonalization increase in the dominant
society, as the concentration of capital increases with the takeover of
ever larger businesses by conglomerates and international corporations,
as more and more local initiative is abandoned to the rule of the
central State, and as computerization and automation narrow the role of
human initiative in both labor and administration, life becomes ever
more unreal, aimless, and empty of meaning for all but a tiny elite who
still cling to the illusion they possess initiative. Action and reaction
— thesis and antithesis — this state of affairs produces its
opposite. All over the world we are witnessing an instinctive revolt
against dehumanization.
