More from Dwight MacDonald
- By ‘socialism’ I mean a classless society in which the State has disappeared, production is cooperative, and no man has political or economic power over another. The touchstone would be the extent to which each individual could develop his own talents and personality.
- Pacifism, to me, is primarily a way of actively struggling against injustice and inhumanity; My kind of pacifism may be called “non-violent resistance”.
- 24 beers in a case, 24 hours in a day, coincedence? I think not.
- A bank is a place where they lend you an umbrella in fair weather and ask for it back when it begins to rain.
- Above all, do not fail to give good dinners, and to pay attention to the women.
- Abstinence is as easy to me as temperance would be difficult.
