"Industry, too, is called an organization; yet nothing is farther from the truth. Industry is the ceaseless piracy of the rich against the poor.
"We are asked to believe that the Army is an organization, but a close investigation will show that it is nothing else than a cruel instrument of blind force.
"The Public School! The colleges and other institutions of learning, are they not models of organization, offering the people fine opportunities for instruction?” source
