In speaking of the capitalists who strive only for profit, only to get rich, I do not want to say that these are the most worthless people capable of doing nothing else. Many of them undoubtedly possess great organising talent, which I would not dream of denying. We Soviet people learn a lot from the capitalists. But if you mean people who are prepared to reconstruct the world, of course you will not be able to find them in the ranks of those who faithfully serve the cause of profit. …The capitalist is riveted in profit and nothing can tear him away from it.
That sounds about right.
-Joseph Stalin
Yeah, I’m not so sure if he’s the right person to quote here has he has well over 6 million people killed…
Takes one to know one I guess
That’s just a statistic though, not a tragedy /s
This right here is why lemmy will never take off as a platform.
