** [[Federico García Lorca]], ''Poet in New York''
* As the [[bourgeoisie]], by means of its [[capital]], completely monopolizes all new inventions, every new machine, instead of shortening the hours of labor and enhancing the prosperity and happiness of all, causes, on the contrary, dismissal from employment for some, reduction of wages for others and an increased and intensified state of misery for the entire proletariat.
