If the workers of the world want to win, all they have to do is recognize their own solidarity. They have nothing to do but fold their arms and the world will stop. The workers are more powerful with their hands in their pockets than all the property of the capitalists. --Joe Ettor (IWW labor organizer)

"Absolutely brilliant on numerous levels. While there have been many other important documentaries about individual strikes and/or strike movements, Plutocracy has succeeded at generalizing the political lessons of an entire era in U.S. Labor history from a working-class viewpoint."
Sharon Smith, Author, Subterranean Fire: A History of Working Class Radicalism in the United States
