“Purchasing power is a license to purchase power. The old proletariat sold its labour power in order to subsist; what little leisure time it had was passed pleasantly enough in conversations, arguments, drinking, making love, wandering, celebrating and rioting. The new proletarian sells his labour power in order to consume.

The ideology of consumption becomes the consumption of ideology.”

Happiness comes as a result of being in our natural state of growth and living up to our fullest potential.”
