Kim Il Sung: It’s true we’re still in need. But we’ll help you defend the Cuban revolution that emerged victorious for the first time in Latin America, even if that means we have to tighten our belt. That is a sacred duty of us communists working for proletarian internationalism. Genuine communists are just true proletarian internationalist. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Che Guevara: Genuine communists are just true proletarian internationalists. This is a revolutionary principle Kim Il Sung implanted in my mind. I’ve decided to dedicate myself to proletarian internationalism. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Kim Philby: I am really two people. I am a private person and a political person. Of course, if there is a conflict, the political person comes first. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Fidel Castro: Why did they think that by killing him, he would cease to exist as a fighter? Today Che is in every place, wherever there is a just cause to defend. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Philip Agee: In the CIA we didn't give a hoot about democracy. It was fine if a government was elected and would cooperate with us, but if it didn't, then democracy didn't mean a thing to us. And I don't think it means a thing today. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Dostoyevski: Above all, do not lie to yourself. A man who lies to himself and listens to his own lie comes to a point where he does not discern any truth either in himself or anywhere around him, and thus falls into disrespect towards himself and others. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Pablo Neruda: Many of the creative spirits of our time do not realize that what seems to them to be the deepest expression of their being is often deadly poison injected into them by their most implacable enemies. Dying capitalism is filling the cup of human creation. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Kwame Nkrumah: Socialism is not spontaneous. It does not arise of itself. It has abiding principles according to which the major means of production and distribution ought to be socialized if exploitation of the many by the few is to be prevented if, that is to say, egalitarianism in the economy is to be protected. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Adam Smith: People of the same trade seldom meet together even for merriment and diversion, but the conversation ends in a conspiracy against the public, or on some contrivance to raise prices. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Palmiro Togliatti: When we speak of 'adversaries' we do not have in mind the masses enrolled in the fascist, social-democratic and Catholic organizations. Our adversaries are the fascist, social-democratic and Catholic "organizations". wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Hello there. Glasgow calling. I'm an analogue digital hybrid who cares about mental health issues, music, photography and art. I'm deeply suspicious of ducks (in a less than serious way) and although I exist on Mastodon I'm keen to migrate to Friendica. Best wishes all.
@Moshe Oh dear. Not good. I had 2 and a half years of long covid from the first variant. Have managed to avoid this variant so far (famous last words) . Wishing you a speedy recovery.
Palmiro Togliatti: Watch out when you hear fascism spoken of as 'Bonapartism.' This proposition, which is Trotskyism's warhorse, is drawn from some statements by Marx (...) and Engels; but Marx and Engels' anlyses, ... become incorrect when mechanically applied today, in the age of imperialism. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Palmiro Togliatti: The most complete definition of fascism was given by the 13th meeting of the Englarged Exec. of the Communist International and is as follows: 'Fascism is the open terrorist dictatorship of the most reactionary, most chauvinistic, most imperialist elements of finance capital.' wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Palmiro Togliatti: (referring to the Bonapartism thing) The Trotskyites have always had this conception of fascism. What is its root? Its root is the disavowal of the definition of fascism as the dictatorship of the bourgeoisie. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Palmiro Togliatti: The probabilities of establishing a fascist dictatorship depend on the degree of the fighting spirit of the working class and its ability to defend the democratic institutions... This struggle to defend the democratic institutions broadens and becomes the struggle for power. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Palmiro Togliatti: We must use (the term fascism) only when the fight against the working class develops on a new mass base with a petty-bourgeois character... Hence, the fascist dictatorship endeavors to posess a mass movement by organizing the bourgeoisie and petty bourgeoisie. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Palmiro Togliatti: This was one of our errors, an error that has been repeated elsewhere as well: to overlook the shift of the intermediate strata and the creation of trends in the petty bourgeoisie that the bourgeoisie can use against the working class. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
