Robbins

"The natural enemy of the daughters is not the fathers and not the sons,... I was mistaken.
The enemy of women is not men. No, the enemy of the black is not the white. The enemy of the capitalist is not communist, the enemy of homosexual is not heterosexual, the enemy of Jew is not Arab, the enemy of youth is not the old, the emeny of hip is not redneck, the enemy of Chicano is not gringo and the enemy of women is not men.
We all have the same enemy. The enemy is the tyranny of the dull mind.
There are authoritative blacks with dull minds, and they are the enemy. The leaders of capitalism and the leaders of communism are the same people, and they are the enemy. There are dull-minded women who try to repress the human spirit, and they are the enemy just as much as the dull-minded men.
The enemy is every expert who practices technocratic manipulation, the enemy is every proponent of standardization and the enemy is every victim who is so dull and lazy and weak as to allow himself to be manipulated and standardized."
