‘Liberalism is the mockery of the unfortunate. It proclaims marvelous rights: freedom of thought, freedom to propagate ideas, and freedom of work but these rights are mere luxuries for the favored ones of fortune. The poor, in a Liberal regime, may not be bludgeoned into working; but they are starved out.

The isolated workman, possessed of every sort of right on paper, has to choose between dying of starvation and accepting the terms the capitalist offers him, however hard they may be.

Under the Liberal system the cruel irony could be seen of men and women working themselves to skeletons, twelve hours a day, for a miserable wage, and yet being assured by the law that they were free men and women.’ ~ José Antonio Primo de Rivera.
