capitalism has a vampire thirst for the living blood of labour....capitalism came into this world dripping from head to foot, from every pore, with blood and dirt.
thx

who knows but if you check out the links below you might get some good ideas
the quote by the way was from Karl Marx
and if you search yahoo for it you get the sites listed below which if you read you will find a lot of information on labour and capitalism and you should be able to put together a paper from this information

the quote basically paints capitalism as a parastite-like monster that feeds of its workers. The image about sucking blood implies that the workers are far worse off after their encounter with capitalism. It also seems to express the idea that capitalism has been this way since is very inception, almost as if leeching off its workers and leaving them drained was its purpose. That's my take on it, hope it helps...

Capitalism (big business) thirsts for, (needs) labor to do its work, to make its money. I do not necessarily agree with this however.

It says that capitalism is EVIL!!!
Which is pretty wrong in my opinion.

It means whoever wrote it is on drugs and needs to have their head examined.
