"The capitalist system presupposes the complete separation of the labourers from all property in the means by which they can realize their labour. As soon as capitalist production is once on its own legs, it not only maintains this separation, but reproduces it on a continually extending scale." Karl Marx, Capital, Chapter 26 --- By increasing the dependence of the workers on capital, the capitalist system creates the great power of united labour. V.I. Lenin, The Three Sources and Three Component Parts of Marxism --- And just to make sure that our erstwhile Maoist is assuaged: Our present revolutionary struggle is even more profound than the revolutionary armed struggle of the past. It is a revolution that will bury the capitalist system and all other systems of exploitation once and for all.
