Lenin: Everything, not merely the land, but human labour, the human being himself, conscience, love, science—everything must inevitably be for sale as long as the power of capital lasts. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote7695
James Connolly: Legislation does not control the Lords of Industry; it is the Lords of Industry who control legislation. As we have often put it: The Class which rules industrially will rule politically. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote7697
Charles Chaplin: The hate of men will pass, and dictators die, and the power they took from the people will return to the people. And so long as men die, liberty will never perish. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote7699
James Gilligan: Violent criminals are not violent because they are dumb, out of touch with reality, or unable to recognize hypocrisy, dishonesty, and injustice when they see it. They are violent precisely because they are aware of the hypocrisy, dishonesty, and injustice that surrounds them and of which they have been the victims. That does not mean that they respond to those conditions in a rational or just way, or that we should tolerate and permit their violence — which affects their fellow victims much more often than it does their oppressors. But it does mean that we cannot expect to stop the kind of violence that we call crime until we stop the kind of violence that I have called structural in "Structural Violence" (1999). By this I mean the deaths and disabilities that are caused by the economic structure of our society, its division into rich and poor. Structural violence is not only the main form of violence, in the sense that poverty kills far more people (almost all of them very poor) than all the behavioral violence put together, it is also the main cause of violent behavior. Eliminating structural violence means eliminating relative poverty. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote7701
Winona LaDuke: Someone needs to explain to me why wanting clean drinking water makes you an activist, and why proposing to destroy water with chemical warfare doesn’t make a corporation a terrorist. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote7702
Gus Hall: To recite the words of Lenin in the abstract, without consideration of time and specific objective surroundings, to recite words without considering historical context is not to defend the science of Marxism-Leninism, but to destroy it. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote7706
Lenin: In brief, dialectics can be defined as the doctrine of the unity of opposites. This embodies the essence of dialectics, but it requires explanations and development. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote7708
Carl von Clausewitz: War is the realm of uncertainty; three quarters of the factors on which action in war is based are wrapped in a fog of greater or lesser uncertainty. A sensitive and discriminating judgment is called for; a skilled intelligence to scent out the truth. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote7709
Milton Friedman: Let us suppose now that one day a helicopter flies over this community and drops an additional $1,000 in bills from the sky, which is, of course, hastily collected by members of the community. Let us suppose further that everyone is convinced that this is a unique event which will never be repeated. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote7710
Mao Zedong: There are people who think that Marxism is a kind of magic truth with which one can cure any disease. We should tell them that dogmas are more useless than cow dung. Dung can be used as fertilizer. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote7711
Võ Nguyên Giáp: The War of Liberation of the Vietnamese people proves that, in the face of an enemy as powerful as he is cruel, victory is possible only by uniting the whole people within the bosom of a firm and wide national united front based on the worker -peasant alliance. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote7712
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
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
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.
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: 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
