The unfit and the unneeded! The miserable and despised and forgotten, dying in the social shambles. The progeny of prostitution-of the prostitution of men and women and children, of flesh and blood, and sparkle and spirit; in brief, the prostitution of labor. If this is the best that civilization can do for the human, then give us howling and naked savagery. Far better to be a people of the wilderness and desert, of the cave and the squatting place, than to be a people of the machine and the Abyss. Night in the Slums (from The People of the Abyss) by Jack London. Edited by Upton Sinclair in The Cry For Justice: An Anthology of Social Protest.
