Just ran across this neat quote from Malcolm X, December 20, 1964 at the Audubon Ballroom in Harlem, where he was assassinated 63 days later: You cant operate a capitalistic system unless you are vulturistic: you have to have someone elses blood to suck to be a capitalist. You show me a capitalist, Ill show you a bloodsucker. He cannot be anything but a bloodsucker if hes going to be a capitalist. Hes got to get it from somewhere other than himself.... Malcolm X Speaks, edited by George Breitman (New York, 1965), p.121.
