“They knew bullshit, and they knew about the ruling class; dying for a ruling class cause was almost always bullshit.”

“Under Big Government, the ruling class get power and perks,...but others among the ruled class just get unruly.”

“The capitalist class rules but does not govern: it contents itself with ruling the government.”

“Every man who repeats the dogma of Mill that one country is no fit to rule another country must admit that one class is not fit to rule another class.”

“The ideas of the ruling class are in every epoch the ruling ideas, i.e. the class which is the ruling material force of society, is at the same time its ruling intellectual force. The class which has the means of material production at its disposal, has control at the same time over the means of mental production, so that thereby, generally speaking, the ideas of those who lack the means of mental production are subject to it. The ruling ideas are nothing more than the ideal expression of the dominant material relationships, the dominant material relationships grasped as ideas.”
