It is crazy to think how advanced we were with technology and our ability to make things quickly. For example we had over 100 aircraft carriers in 1944 compared to Japan's 25. #AuburnWorldHistory
"Amidst the socioeconomic upheavals of this era, many black men and women turned to the Universal Negro Improvement Association (UNIA) as a significant site for political engagement." #AuburnWorldHistory

"The Communist Manifesto had, as its object, the proclamation of the inevitable impending dissolution of modern bourgeois property." #AuburnWorldHistory
The Communist Manifesto has four sections. In the first section, it discusses the Communists' theory of history and the relationship between proletarians and bourgeoisie. The second section explains the relationship between the Communists and the proletarians.
The third section addresses the flaws in other, previous socialist literature. The final section discusses the relationship between the Communists and other parties.
"We look away from government for relief, because we know that force (legalized) invades the personal liberty of man, seizes upon the natural elements and intervenes between man and natural laws;" #AuburnWorldHistory
"In a well-bred family each person has certain duties, which are performed cheerfully" I disagree with this. I would say my family is pretty normal and my brothers would never do their chores cheerfully. #AuburnWorldHistory
"Poor and restricted are our opportunities in this life; narrow our horizon; our best work most imperfect; but rich men should be thankful for one inestimable boon." #AuburnWorldHistory
So in Carnegie's eyes there are three ways to dispose wealth.
1. Families of decedents
2. For public purposes
3. Used during the lives of the possessors #AuburnWorldHistory
