Newspapers are owned by the wealthy and powerful and you think they will allow an opposing view of capitalism?

TRIMMING THE POODLE

--Daniel DeLeon

(Snip)

As a poodle may have his hair cut long or his hair cut short, as he may be trimmed with pink ribbons or with blue ribbons, yet he remains the same old poodle, so capitalism may be trimmed with factory laws, tenement laws, divorce laws and gambling laws, but it remains the same old capitalism. These “humanitarian parts” are only trimming the poodle. Socialism, one and inseparable with its “antirent and anticapital parts,” means to get rid of the poodle.

PS...DeLeon should have referred to the poodle as its, rather than his and he, so as not to enrage the radical feminist socialists and anti-capitalists. lol
