Lenin: But Marxists know that democracy does not abolish class oppression. It only makes the class struggle more direct, wider, more open and pronounced, and that is what we need. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Lenin: Socialism cannot be decreed from above. Its spirit rejects the mechanical bureaucratic approach; living, creative socialism is the product of the masses themselves. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Xi Jinping: Marx is the teacher of revolution for the proletariat and working people all over the world, as well as the main founder of Marxism, creator of Marxist parties, pathfinder for international communism and the greatest thinker of modern times. wordsmith.social/protestation/…

Kim Jong-il: A decadent material life, a poor mental and cultural life and a reactionary political life-these can be said to be the main characteristics of capitalist society, and they show the anti-popular nature and corruption of modern imperialism. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Joe Biden: The only thing that can provoke a hostile and energetic response from Russia is NATO expansion into the Baltic states. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Leila Khaled: I have learned that a woman can be a fighter, a freedom fighter, a political activist, and that she can fall in love, and be loved, she can be married, have children, be a mother... Revolution must mean life also; every aspect of life. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Lenin: This state of affairs prevails not only in Russia, but in every other country where Capital rules. A handful of bankers, who have the whole world in their grip, are making a fortune out of the war. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Clara Zetkin: The cruel fate of the masses weigh with especial heaviness on the women, unless they happen to be appendages of the capitalist industrialist magnates, dealers, speculators, profiteers, and usurers. There is no misery of the present day which is not felt by the women with double and multiple intensity. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Gramsci: One doesn’t remake society by fiat, because the evil of the past is not an edifice of papier-mâché that is brought down in an instant. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Lyudmila Pavlichenko: Every time my bullet fells a Nazi I have the feeling that I have saved lives. Any people who have had Nazis trampling over their land know that for the Nazis kill children, women, old men. To let a Nazi remain alive in your land is to abet the murder of your own people. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Eric Ambler: The important thing to know about an assassination or an attempted assassination is not who fired the shot, but who paid for the bullet. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Stalin: The Ukraine with its natural wealth has long been an object of imperialist exploitation. Before the revolution the Ukraine was exploited by the Western imperialists quietly, so to speak, without "military operations." wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Lenin: If socialism is not victorious, peace between the capitalist States will be only a truce, an interlude, a time of preparation for a fresh slaughter of the peoples. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Jessica Smith: We salute you, Liudmila Pavlichenko, for all that you have done and will do in our common cause. The strength and inspiration we draw from your presence among us will help each one of us to be a better fighter against the enemies of mankind. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Lyudmila Pavlichenko: Only the dead Nazi can he trusted to leave the innocent unharmed. Every Hitlerite killed is a step forward on the road to the liberation of mankind. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Andrei Yanuaryevich Vyshinsky: The proletarian state is a special form of leadership of the remaining masses of toilers by the proletariat. For precisely this reason it represents the highest form of democracy possible in a class society. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Random thought of a brighter aspect of the #ai future:
We're not too far off from AI video editing, and imagine writing out a list of all your triggers, loading it into an AI, and then having it edited movies and tv shows to remove all triggering content.
Andrei Yanuaryevich Vyshinsky: The Soviet state is the historically integrated form of the state during the transition period from capitalism to communism. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Lenin: Thus, the twentieth century marks the turning-point from the old capitalism to the new, from the domination of capital in general to the domination of finance capital. wordsmith.social/protestation/…

Soviet democracy and proletarian dictatorship are two aspects of one and the same phenomenon. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Muammar Gaddafi: Why are Africans going to Europe? Why are Asians going to Europe? Why are Latin Americans going to Europe? It is because Europe colonized those peoples and stole the material and human resources of Africa, Asia and Latin America. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Lenin: 'The right of nations to self-determination', which, as everyone knows, the Marxist programme regards—and the programme of inter national democracy has always regarded—as referring to the defence of oppressed nations. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
H. G. Wells: The Open Conspiracy rests upon a disrespect for nationality, and there is no reason why it should tolerate noxious or obstructive governments because they hold their own in this or that patch of human territory. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Stephen O’Neil: Despite their traditional political image, the Fabians, under the impetus of Sidney Webb, thought that they had a new and unique weapon in the policy of permeation. It was through the utilization of this tactic, according to Webb, that the Fabians, in the spirit of the Trojans and their legendary horse, would enter the ranks and minds of the politically influential by providing them with programs, ideas, opinion, and research heavily documented with statistics which could be conveniently drafted into public policy. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
