The words Socialism and Communism have the same meaning. They indicate a condition of society in which the wealth of the community: the land and the means of production, distribution and transport are held in common, production being for use and not for profit.

Sylvia Pankhurst

In the production of the necessaries of life Nature is ready enough to assist man.

Henry David Thoreau

There is a production and distribution pact, so they help with the production financing and take international territories and do international distribution and marketing.

Courtney Solomon

Khadi has been conceived as the foundation and the image of ahimsa. A real khadi-wearer will not utter an untruth. A real khadi-wearer will harbour no violence, no deceit, no impurity.

Mahatma Gandhi

This is an age of mass production. In the mass production of materials a broad technique has been developed and applied to their distribution. In this age, too, there must be a technique for the mass distribution of ideas.

Edward Bernays

I would ask you to come in Khadi, for Khadi links you with the fallen and the down-trodden.

Mahatma Gandhi

Right, we've got these institutions of media, these financial institutions, we have the means of distribution, we have the means of production, we have all these markets and maxims in place. How do we alter the consciousness, the fundamental unifying field? How do we influence change on that level to all of the world?

Russell Brand

The only real and reliable guarantee for khadi would be honesty, truthfulness and sincerity of khadi workers.

Mahatma Gandhi

Khadi work without the mastery of the science of khadi will be love's labour lost in terms of Swaraj.

Mahatma Gandhi

Existence is not itself a good thing, that we should spend a lifetime securing its necessaries: a life spent, however victoriously, in securing the necessaries of life is no more than an elaborate furnishing and decoration of apartments for the reception of a guest who is never to come. Our business here is not to live, but to live happily.

A. E. Housman

If we will not endure a king as a political power, we should not endure a king over the production, transportation, and sale of any of the necessaries of life.

John Sherman

I'm a bit skeptical about the possibilities for resistant fiction, and even more despondent over the potential for politically engaged writing to do much of anything outside the dominant means of production and distribution.

Davis Schneiderman

By means of the banking system the distribution of capital as a special business, a social function, is taken out of the hands of the private capitalists and usurers. But at the same time, banking and credit become the most effective means of driving captialist production beyond its own limits and one of the most effective vehicles of crises and swindle.

Karl Marx

Socialism is not spontaneous. It does not arise of itself. It has abiding principles according to which the major means of production and distribution ought to be socialised if exploitation of the many by the few is to be prevented; if, that is to say, egalitarianism in the economy is to be protected.
