Fidel Castro: Look at the history of the revolutionary movement, and you will find more than one connection between imperialism and those who take positions that appear to be on the extreme left. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote7714


Marcus Aurelius: The object of life is not to be on the side of the majority, but to escape finding oneself in the ranks of the insane. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote7715



Gus Hall: The ideological machinery of capitalism grinds out propaganda against labor in an endless stream, like a sausage machine turns out frankfurters. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote7717


Lenin: Without the victory of the revolutionary proletariat, there would be no peace for the people, land for the peasants, nor bread for the workers and all working people. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote7718


Minor Caching Issue


I was notified of a little glitch causing some pages to show the admin view and excess two-factor prompts. This appears to have been a server caching issue. This would not have exposed any data or granted any special access, it was just a static cache of content being shown instead of sending it to the server code to save time.

The caching was only supposed to impact image files, but it looks like it somehow grabbed some page files too.

As server performance is now much better than it was when I implemented caching, and the performance difference is now negligble, I have opted to turn off caching for the time being.

If you experienced this problem, it should go away with just a refresh of the page.




John Maynard Keynes: Capitalism is the extraordinary belief that the nastiest of men for the nastiest of motives will somehow work for the benefit of all. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote7719




Gudrun Ensslin: This fascist state intends to kill all of us. We must organize resistance. Violence can only be answered with violence. This is the generation of Auschwitz (referring to the West German government and society), you cannot argue with them. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote7721




Gudrun Ensslin: Because it is not the lefty ass-kissers you have to agitate, but the objective left-wing. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote7723


Gudrun Ensslin: You have to make clear that it's social democratic bullshit to claim that imperialism along with all the Neubauers and Westmorelands, Bonn, the senate, the State Youth Welfare Office and district offices, that the whole filth can be undermined, duped, overpowered, intimidated, and eliminated without a fight. Make it clear that the revolution will not be an Easter stroll. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote7724


Gudrun Ensslin: Without simultaneously building the Red Army, every conflict, all political work in the factories, in the Wedding and Märkische Viertel districts,** in the Plötze,*** and in the courtroom will degenerate into nothing more than reformism, which means you merely push through better means of discipline, better methods of intimidation, better methods of exploitation. All that does is break the people down. It does not break down what breaks the people down! https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote7725





Eduardo Galeano: For us capitalism is not a dream to be made a reality. Our challenge lies not in privatising the state but in deprivatising it. Our states have been bought at bargain prices by the owners of the land, the banks and everything else. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote7728




Fidel Castro: Without the sacrifices made by the Soviet people, fascism would have been imposed on the whole world for at least a brief period of time. Everybody would have personally learned of the horrors of fascism. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote7730




Lenin: This so-called bipartisan system prevailing in America and Britain has been one of the most powerful means of preventing the rise of an independent working-class, i.e., genuinely socialist, party. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote7732


Lenin: And for a whole half-century—since the Civil War over slavery in 1860–65—two bourgeois parties have been distinguished there by remarkable solidity and strength. The party of the former slave-owners is the so-called Democratic Party. The capitalist party, which favoured the emancipation of the Negroes, has developed into the Republican Party. Since the emancipation of the Negroes, the distinction between the two parties has been diminishing. The fight between these two parties has been mainly over the height of customs duties. Their fight has not had any serious importance for the mass of the people. The people have been deceived and diverted from their vital interests by means of spectacular and meaningless duels between the two bourgeois parties. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote7733



Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh: I would very much like to go to Russia - although the bastards murdered half my family. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote7734

Robespierre: The secret of freedom lies in educating people, whereas the secret of tyranny is in keeping them ignorant. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote7736


Yuri Gagarin: Looking at Earth from afar you realize it is too small for conflict and just big enough for cooperation. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote7737


Lenin: The rule of the proletariat is expressed in the fact that landowner and capitalist property has been taken away. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote7738



Kim Il Sung: It is necessary to expose the false propaganda of the imperialists and thoroughly dispel the illusion that the imperialists will give up their positions in the colonies and dependent countries with good will. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote7739


Lenin: The people need peace; the people need bread; the people need land. And they give you war, hunger, no bread—leave the landlords still on the land. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote7740


Lenin: But when they face the workers, our liquidators act according to the saying: A lion among the lambs becomes a lamb among the lions. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote7741
