"..But when society places hundreds of proletarians in such a position that they
inevitably meet a too early and an unnatural death, one which is quite as much a
death by violence as that by the sword or bullet; when it deprives thousands of
the necessaries of life, places them under conditions in which they cannot live -
forces them, through the strong arm of the law, to remain in such conditions
until that death ensues which is the inevitable consequence - knows that these
thousands of victims must perish, and yet permits these conditions to remain,
its deed is murder just as surely as the deed of the single individual;
disguised, malicious murder, murder against which none can defend himself, which
does not seem what it is, because no man sees the murderer, because the death is
more one of omission than of commission..But murder it remains."
- Friedrich Engels
