Muammar Gaddafi: Capitalist companies produce viruses so that they can generate and sell vaccinations... If the vaccines were free, you'd see that many of these unknown viruses would stop appearing and spreading. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Silvia Federici: Racism and sexism are necessary conditions for the existence of the capitalist class. The capitalist class always needs a population without rights, in the colonies, in the kitchen, in the plantation, which is determinant for the process of value accumulation. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Kwame Ture: We must know clearly the difference between mobilization and organization. One of the characteristics of mobilization is that it is temporary. Organization is permanent and eternal... We must transform mobilization to organization. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Fidel Castro: Our country will have much more, but it will never be a consumer society, it will be a society of knowledge, culture, and of the most extraordinary conceivable human development; development of culture, art, science and not of chemical weapons. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Karl Marx: Capital is dead labour, that, vampire-like, only lives by sucking living labour, and lives the more, the more labour it sucks. The time during which the labourer works, is the time during which the capitalist consumes the labour-power he has purchased of him. If the labourer consumes his disposable time for himself, he robs the capitalist. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Albert Einstein: The economic anarchy of capitalist society as it exists today is, in my opinion, the real source of the evil. We see before us a huge community of producers the members of which are unceasingly striving to deprive each other of the fruits of their collective labour...I am convinced there is only one way to eliminate these grave evils, namely through the establishment of a socialist economy, accompanied by an educational system which would be oriented toward social goals. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Lenin: Trotsky has never yet held a firm opinion on any important question of Marxism. He always contrives to worm his way into the cracks of any given difference of opinion, and desert one side for the other. At the present moment he is in the company of the Bundists and the liquidators. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Lenin: The theory that the struggle between Bolshevism and Menshevism is a struggle for influence over an immature proletariat is not a new one. We have been encountering it since 1905 in innumerable books, pamphlets, and articles in the liberal press. Martov and Trotsky are putting before the German comrades liberal views with a Marxist coating... wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Ahmed Sékou Touré: When you are praised by the colonist, it means that you are bad for your people. When they say you are bad, it means that you are good for your people. The day they say I'm good, that'll mean I betrayed you. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Lenin: Complete equality of rights for all nations; the right of nations to self-determination; the unity of the workers of all nations—such is the national program that Marxism (teaches) the workers. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Gus Hall: It was necessary to define fascism as the open brutal dictatorship of the most reactionary sections of the top circles of monopoly capital... Only then was it possible to mobilize the broadest movement against fascism. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Frank Zappa: I am the slime oozing out from your TV set. You will obey me while I lead you, and eat the garbage while I feed you. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Karl Marx: We by no means intend to abolish this personal appropriation of the products of labour, an appropriation that is made for the maintenance and reproduction of human life, and that leaves no surplus wherewith to command the labour of others. All that we want to do away with is the miserable character of this appropriation, under which the labourer lives merely to increase capital, and is allowed to live only in so far as the interest of the ruling class requires it. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Always be on the alert against Trotskyism, reformism and revisionism / Soyez toujours en alerte contre le trotskysme, le réformisme et le révisionnisme / Seid immer wachsam gegen Trotzkismus, Reformismus und Revisionismus
David Ricardo: LABOUR, like all other things which are purchased and sold, and which may be increased or diminished in quantity, has its natural and its market price. The natural price of labour is that price which is necessary to enable the labourers, on with another, to subsist and to perpetuate their race, without either increase or diminution. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
David Ricardo: It has been my endeavour to show in this work that a fall of wages would have no other effect than to raise profits. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
John Kenneth Galbraith: It is David Ricardo's unique position in history that he was an innovating force in both capitalist and socialist thought. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
David Ricardo: Possessing utility, commodities derive their exchangeable value from two sources: from their scarcity, and from the quantity of labour required to obtain them. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Friedrich Engels: The workers have taken it into their heads that they, with their busy hands, are the necessary, and the rich capitalists, who do nothing, the surplus population. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Bertolt Brecht: In fascist countries capitalism only survives as Fascism, and Fascism can only be resisted as capitalism, as the most naked, brazen, offensive, and deceitful form of capitalism. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Kaysone Phomvihane: The aim of the revolutionary struggle is to remove all forms of bourgeois exploitation and parasitism, ... suppress any opposition or attempts to revive the remnants of the reactionary forces, defend our national independence and build socialism. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Georgi Dimitrov: American fascism is trying to direct the disillusionment and discontent of these masses into reactionary fascist channels. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
