  • Private capital tends to become concentrated in few hands, partly because of competition among the capitalists, and partly because technological development and the increasing division of labor encourage the formation of larger units of production at the expense of smaller ones. The result of these developments is an oligarchy of private capital the enormous power of which cannot be effectively checked even by a democratically organized political society. This is true since the members of legislative bodies are selected by political parties, largely financed or otherwise influenced by private capitalists who, for all practical purposes, separate the electorate from the legislature. The consequence is that the representatives of the people do not in fact sufficiently protect the interests of the underprivileged sections of the population. Moreover, under existing conditions, private capitalists inevitably control, directly or indirectly, the main sources of information (press, radio, education). It is thus extremely difficult, and indeed in most cases quite impossible, for the individual citizen to come to objective conclusions and to make intelligent use of his political rights.

  • dude I’d be so mad if I paid to eat at the restaurant I was just cookin’ at and I knew “how it was made” like lol

    I’m in there re-heating risotto, just adding cream and cheese to it basically. I’m in there giving motherfuckers TWO stalks of asparagus to go with their duck breast. You want some scallops? Okay, you get five tagliatelle, FOUR scallops, all mixed into a peppery, asparagus laden sauce. with five florets of broccoli. enjoy your fuckin’ dinner

    like damn lol if I paid 55 dollars or w/e for “duck breast and asparagus” I would be absolutely livid at getting TWO stalks of it, like, no, come back with my fucking vegetables, asshole.

    I bought a whole fucking bunch to make when I got home and wow, I used half of it and made three huge servings! but yeah, let’s nickel and dime people on vegetables and call it fine dining jagoff
