Frederick C. Howe: These are the rules of big business. They have superseded the teachings of our parents and are reducible to a simple maxim: Get a monopoly; let Society work for you; and remember that the best of all business is politics, for a legislative grant, franchise, subsidy or tax exemption is worth more than a Kimberly or Comstock lode, since it does not require any labor, either mental or physical, for its exploitation. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Antony Sutton: Revolution and international finance are not at all inconsistent if the result of revolution is to establish more centralized authority. International finance prefers to deal with central governments. The last thing the banking community wants is laissez-faire economy and decentralized power because these would disperse power. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Nelson Mandela: It is said that no one truly knows a nation until one has been inside its jails. A nation should not be judged by how it treats its highest citizens, but its lowest ones. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Samora Machel: Marxism, the science of revolution, is the fruit of practice, of humanity's struggle for a better future. The spectre that haunted the bourgeoisie in Europe a hundred years ago still haunts them, but now it is perceptible throughout the world. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Kemal Okuyan: Facing the capitalist class, which is afraid of an upheaval, we can only move forward and by no means backward. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Liu Shaoqi: The science of Marxism-Leninism is of little to no use to anyone who is not a genuine revolutionary, who is not a proletarian revolutionary to the core, who does not want to bring about socialism and communism throughout the world and emancipate all (humanity) to anyone who does not want revolution or is unwilling to carry it through to the end and wants to stop halfway. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Mao Zedong: The socialist system will eventually replace the capitalist system; this is an objective law independent of man's will. However much the reactionaries try to hold back the wheel of history, eventually revolution will take place and will inevitably triumph. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Xi Jinping: A nation that has abandoned or betrayed its own history and culture is not only unlikely to develop, but it is also likely to stage a series of historical tragedies, and it is necessary to take a clear stand against historical nihilism. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Tucker Carlson: The Athenians invented democratic government, but at its peak, Athens only had about 8,000 voters. So, past a certain scale, democracy can't function very well. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Frantz Fanon: What matters today, the issue which blocks the horizon, is the need for a redistribution of wealth. Humanity will have to address this question, no matter how devastating the consequences may be. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Felix Dzerzhinsky: We, communists, must live in such a way that the working people see that we are using the victory of the revolution and power not for ourselves, but for the good and happiness of the people. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Frantz Fanon: We are nothing on earth if we are not in the first place the slaves of a cause, the cause of the peoples, the cause of justice and liberty. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Fred Hampton: We’re not metaphysicians, we’re not idealists, we’re dialectical materialists. And we deal with what reality is, whether we like it or not. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Fidel Castro: The first time you were unable to punish the guilty; now you will be compelled to punish the innocent. The maiden of justice twice raped. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Bible: Servants, be obedient to them that are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as unto Christ. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Miguel D. Lewis: Capitalism is religion. Banks are churches. Bankers are priests. Wealth is heaven. Poverty is hell. Rich people are saints. Poor people are sinners. Commodities are blessings. Money is God. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Kim Il Sung: The road of socialism is the road of true freedom and happiness for the people, whereas the road of capitalism is the road of exploitation and oppression, misery and suffering for the people. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Karl Marx: All progress in capitalistic agriculture is a progress in the art, not only of robbing the labourer, but of robbing the soil. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Grover Furr: For capitalists anywhere it is always logical to promote anticommunism in order to disarm protests against the injustices of exploitation. By demonizing communism, and then by describing protests against socio-economic inequality as 'communist, capitalists attempt to delegitimize any protest against their exploitative policies. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Karl Marx: If capital grows rapidly, wages may rise, but the profit of capital rises disproportionately faster. The material position of the worker has improved, but at the cost of his social position. The social chasm that separates him from the capitalist has widened. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Karl Marx: The bourgeoisie is too much enlightened, it keeps its accounts much too carefully, to share the prejudices of the feudal lord, who makes an ostentatious display of the magnificence of his retinue. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Karl Marx: The multiplications of individual capitals increases the competition among capitalists. The increasing magnitude of increasing capitals provides the means of leading more powerful armies of workers with more gigantic instruments of war upon the industrial battlefield. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Linda Tuhiwai Smith: The colonizer did not simply design an education system. They designed an education especially to destroy Indigenous cultures, value systems and appearance. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
George Moorad: When Jay Gould said, many years ago, that he could hire one half of the working class to kill the other half, he undoubtedly was boasting of the power of propaganda as opposed to mass thinking. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Xi Jinping: Theory, once divorced from practice, will become rigid dogma, losing its verve and vitality. Practice, without the guidance of correct theory, is like 'a blind man on a blind horse approaching a deep lake at midnight. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Georgi Dimitrov: Many comrades did not believe that so reactionary a brand of bourgeois ideology as the ideology of fascism, which in its stupidity frequently reaches the point of lunacy, would be able to gain any mass influence. This was a serious mistake. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Lenin: That today, when the wave has ebbed, there remain and will remain only real Marxists, does not frighten us but rejoices us. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Harry Truman: If it explodes, as I think it will, I will certainly have a hammer on those boys (meaning to the Russians). wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Nelson Mandela: We also honour the great Che Guevara whose outstanding revolutionary efforts, even on our continent, were of such magnitude that no prison nor censorship could conceal him from us. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Maurice Cornforth: It is sometimes said that the essential feature of science is that it is based on observations. Of course, science is based on observations; but this is not its most essential feature. The basis of science is not mere observation, but experiment. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
