Sorry for the downtime, server crashed and I wasn't able to address it quickly or smoothly in my current mental state.
I took advantage of the downtime, and probably exacerbated it a little, and finally did the migration back to local hardware... so it *should* be more reliable.
What honestly stretched it out a lot is that I also applied the most recent stable Friendica version and that took forever to update the database.
Stalin: Actually, Mr. Churchill, and his friends in Britain and the United States, present to the non-English speaking nations something in the nature of an ultimatum: “Accept our rule voluntarily, and then all will be well; otherwise war is inevitable.” But the nations shed their blood in the course of five years’ fierce war for the sake of the liberty and independence of their countries, and not in order to exchange the domination of the Hitlers for the domination of the Churchills. It is quite probable, accordingly, that the non-English-speaking nations, which constitute the vast majority of the population of the world, will not agree to submit to a new slavery. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Pier Paolo Pasolini: I miss the poor and genuine people who fought to abolish that master (Fascism) without turning into him. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Muammar Gaddafi: Only the Arab rulers are afraid of America and Israel, not the Arab citizen... the rulers are afraid that they will be overthrown. If they were overthrown, it would be an honor to fall in the battle for Arab unity while confronting the Zionists and the imperialists! wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Nâzım Hikmet Ran: We will sink this pirate ship, we will sink it come hell or high water and we will build a world free, open, full of hope. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Nexhmije Hoxha: The true Marxist-Leninist parties always take careful account of the stages of the revolution and have supported both the proletarian revolutions and the national liberation movements of the oppressed peoples … everywhere in the world, with all their might. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Karl Marx: As Prometheus, having stolen fire from heaven, begins to build houses and to settle upon the earth, so philosophy, expanded to be the whole world, turns against the world of appearance. The same now with the philosophy of Hegel. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Erich Honecker: There is no real democracy where the people who create value do not own the basic means of production. Where it operates, bourgeois democracy consists only of those freedoms that the workers were able to win from capital through struggle. Where power belongs to capital, the people are silenced. Democratic structures and mechanisms do not change anything. Their function ceases where profit and class interests come into play. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
