The following quote is from a politician in New York City:

"There's the biggest kind of a difference between political looters and politicians who make a fortune out of politics by keepin' their eyes wide open. The looter goes in for himself alone without considerin' his organization or his city. The politician looks after his own interests, the organization's interests, and the city's interests all at the same time. See the distinction?" —George Washington Plunkitt, 1905

Based on this quote, Plunkitt most likely supported which of the following?

A. Social Darwinism

B. Socialism

C. political machines
