Lenin: For socialism is merely the next step forward from state-capitalist monopoly. Or, in other words, socialism is merely state-capitalist monopoly which is made to serve the interests of the whole people and has to that extent ceased to be capitalist monopoly. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Lenin: The dialectics of history is such that the war, by extraordinarily expediting the transformation of monopoly capitalism into state-monopoly capitalism, has thereby extraordinarily advanced mankind towards socialism. Imperialist war is the eve of socialist revolution. And this not only because the horrors of the war give rise to proletarian revolt—no revolt can bring about socialism unless the economic conditions for socialism are ripe—but because state-monopoly capitalism is a complete material preparation for socialism, the threshold of socialism, a rung on the ladder of history between which and the rung called socialism there are no intermediate rungs. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Henry Kissinger: It is an act of insanity and national humiliation to have a law prohibiting the President from ordering assassination. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Lenin: The scientific term ‘dictatorship’ means nothing more nor less than authority untrammeled by any laws, absolutely unrestricted by any rules whatever, and based directly on force. wordsmith.social/protestation/…

Thomas Sankara: Courageous, determined, stoic and tireless, the Palestinians remind us all of the need and moral obligation to respect the rights of a people. Along with their Jewish brothers, they are anti-Zionists. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Stalin: I am ready to continue to devote all my strength, all my abilities and, if necessary, all my blood, drop by drop, to the cause of the working class. wordsmith.social/protestation/…

Vyacheslav Mikhaylovich Molotov: Warsaw as the capital of the Polish state no longer exits. No one knows the whereabouts of the Polish Government. The population of Poland have been abandoned by their ill-starred leaders to their fate. The Polish state and its government have virtually ceased to exist. In view of this state of affairs, treaties concluded between the Soviet Union and Poland have ceased to operate. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Albert Einstein: It is the same with people as it is with riding a bike. Only when moving can one comfortably maintain one’s balance. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Charles Wright Mills: The world is hungry; the liberal cries: 'Let us make it free!' The world is tired of war; the liberal cries "Let us arm for peace!" The people of the world are without land; the liberal cries: 'Let us beg the landed oligarchs to parcel some of it out! wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Norma Marshall: History is not there for you to like or dislike. It is there for you to learn from it. And if it offends you, even better. Because then you are less likely to repeat it. It's not yours to erase or destroy. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Socrates: Each of these private teachers who work for pay ... inculcates nothing else than these opinions of the multitude which they opine when they are assembled and calls this knowledge wisdom. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
