Quotation from: War of the Classes

Written by: Jack London


The superior workman scabs upon the inferior workman because he is
so constituted and cannot help it. The one, by fortune of birth and
upbringing, is strong and capable; the other, by fortune of birth
and upbringing, is not so strong nor capable. It is for the same
reason that one country scabs upon another. That country which has
the good fortune to possess great natural resources, a finer sun and
soil, unhampering institutions, and a deft and intelligent labor
class and capitalist class is bound to scab upon a country less
fortunately situated. It is the good fortune of the United States
that is making her the colossal scab, just as it is the good fortune
of one man to be born with a straight back while his brother is born
with a hump.
