The Rebel Girl: An Autobiography, My First Life (1906-1926), by Elizabeth Gurley Flynn (pub. 1955)
At some point in this book, Gurley is traveling by train with a very militant wobbly organizer. Making small talk, she mentions that the countryside is lovely.
He responds, ”I can’t enjoy the scenery under a capitalist system, ma’am.”
I urge you all to bring this phrase into your life, especially if you interact with left wing dudes ever. It will come up so often.
