"The capitalists owned everything in the world, and everyone else was their slave. They owned all the land, all the houses, all the factories, and all the money.

When any ordinary person spoke to a capitalist he had to cringe and bow to him, and take off his cap and address him as 'Sir'"

-- George Orwell

At the deepest level of Being, you are one with all that is.”
