Quote #3 on Political Struggle Quotes >> Individual and Capitalism
“A painting and a pair of shoes can both be expressed in, and reduced to, their exchange value, their price; so many pairs of shoes are "equal" to one painting. In the same way the difference between people is reduced to a common element, their price on the market. Their individuality, that which is peculiar and unique to them, is valueless and, in fact, a ballast.”
