"Thus economic freedom would mean freedom FROM the economy—from being controlled by economic forces…freedom from the daily struggle for existence…Political freedom would mean liberation of the individual FROM politics over which they have no effective control. The unrealistic sound of these propositions is indicative, not of their utopian character, but of the strength of the forces which prevent their realization."
Herbert Marcuse, One-Dimensional Man, 1964 (via conflict-theory-flow)
