People build lives and families, and they suffer to build them, and people who build nothing steal them because theft is the other choice. And the whole idea of democracy is to arrest that--to save what people build because it's theirs and because it's the only human good. That's it. The whole idea.

Raskin: This is a gangster state. This is not basically a legitimate government that is sometimes doing corrupt things. This is an essentially corrupt enterprise. It's like watching The Sopranos. Every day, they get up and they try to figure out how to plunder and pillage the people

Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.
 
Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.
