1972, Anonymous translation of (w) as "Draft of a Communist Confession of Faith", International Publishers:
- ''Then there have not always been proletarians?''No. There have always been ''poor'' and ''working classes;'' and those who worked were almost always the poor. But there have not always been proletarians, just as competition has not always been free.
2010 Jan. 27, (w), "Populism: Just Like Racism!", ''True/Slant'':
- This is the same Randian bullshit that we've been hearing from people like (w) for ages and its entire premise is really revolting and insulting—this idea that the way society works is that the productive "rich" feed the needy "poor," and that any attempt by the latter to punish the former for "excesses" might inspire (w) his way of town and leave the helpless poor on their own to starve. That's basically (w)'s entire argument here. Yes, the rich and powerful do rig the game in their own favor, and yes, they are guilty of "excesses"—but fucking with it, if you want to eat.
