They believe they are dying for the Class, they die for the Party boys. They believe they are dying for the Fatherland, they die for the the Industrialists. They believe they are dying for the freedom of the Person, they die for the Freedom of the dividends. They believe they are dying for the Proletariat, they die for its Bureaucracy. They believe they are dying by orders of a State, they die for the money which holds the State. They believe they are dying for a nation, they die for the bandits that gag  it. They believe – but why would one believe in such darkness? Believe – die?- when it is a matter of learning to live?”
Francois Perroux, La Coexistence pacifique
