If you haven't read the book, she says it to Lestat when he tries to talk her out of taking over the world. She's mad because so many people are still hungry and poor. He pleads that industrial democracy will eventually make the world rich enough to take care of everyone.

Except you forgot "radfem" for Akasha because I think that needs to be in there. Radfem revcom pretty much sums her up, politically.

Again, if you haven't read the book, Akasha blames pretty much everything on men being in charge and plans to inverse-decimate the male population, killing 9 in 10 males and keeping the rest contained for breeding stock.
