Quotation from: War of the Classes

Written by: Jack London


All this may appear fantastic and erroneous, but there is in it a
soul of truth vastly more significant than it may seem.
Civilization may be expressed today in terms of trade-unionism.
Individual struggles have largely passed away, but group-struggles
increase prodigiously. And the things for which the groups struggle
are the same as of old. Shorn of all subtleties and complexities,
the chief struggle of men, and of groups of men, is for food and
shelter. And, as of old they struggled with tooth and nail, so
today they struggle with teeth and nails elongated into armies and
navies, machines, and economic advantages.
