The women can always choose the patriarchal models, and you end up with a Margaret Thatcher.

You can see it in terms of the obsession on Wall Street with not just profits but greed, more profit, more profit.

It's clear that he was incredibly courageous in his critique of white supremacy, wealth inequality, and imperial power as it relates to war in particular.

An Irish peasant coming from British imperial abuse in Ireland during the potato famine in the 1840s, arrives in the United States. You ask him or her what they are. They say, "I am Irish." No, you're white. "What do you mean, I am white?" And they point me out. "Oh, I see what you mean. This is a strange land."

I'm not romanticizing black people, because we've got gangsters like everybody else.
