Lenin: Kautsky has made increasingly rapid progress in this art of being a Marxist in words and a lackey of the bourgeoisie in deeds, until he has become a virtuoso at it. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Kim Il Sung: To expect good results while sitting idle without building factories, would be like the Christians praying to “God” for a blessed life. Our freedom and happiness cannot come from Heaven. They must be won by our own efforts and struggle. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Stalin: Real liberty can exist only where exploitation has been abolished, where there is no oppression of some by others, where there is no unemployment and poverty, where a man is not haunted by the fear of being tomorrow deprived of work, of home and of bread. Only in such a society is real, and not paper, personal and every other liberty possible. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Kim Il Sung: Marxism-Leninism is not a dogma, it is a guide to action and a creative theory. So, Marxism-Leninism can display its indestructible vitality only when it is applied creatively to suit the specific conditions of each country. The same applies to the experience of the fraternal parties. It will prove valuable to us only when we make a study of it, grasp its essence and properly apply it to our realities. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Lenin: Reforms are concessions obtained from a ruling class that retains its rule. Revolution is the overthrow of the ruling class. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Hunter S. Thompson: The last half of the 20th century will seem like a wild party for rich kids, compared to what's coming now. The party's over, folks. . . (Censorship of the news) is a given in wartime, along with massive campaigns of deliberately-planted "Dis-information". That is routine behavior in Wartime — for all countries and all combatants — and it makes life difficult for people who value real news. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Vladimir Putin: If I was the President of Russia the time NATO invaded Libya, Muammar Gaddafi would still be alive because an invasion in any part of Africa by then would have meant an invasion in Russia. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Lenin: Those who are really convinced that they have made progress in science would not demand freedom for the new views to continue side by side with the old, but the substitution of the new views for the old. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Hunter S. Thompson: These horrifying digital snapshots of the American dream in action on foreign soil are worse than anything even I could have expected. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Hunter S. Thompson: The towers are gone now, reduced to bloody rubble, along with all hopes for Peace in Our Time, in the United States or any other country. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Mao Zedong: Fight, fail, fight again, fail again, fight again . . . till their victory; that is the logic of the people, and they too will never go against this logic. This is another Marxist law. The Russian people's revolution followed this law, and so has the Chinese people's revolution. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Hunter S. Thompson: We have become a Nazi monster in the eyes of the whole world, a nation of bullies and bastards who would rather kill than live peacefully. We are not just Whores for power and oil, but killer whores with hate and fear in our hearts. We are human scum, and that is how history will judge us. No redeeming social value. Just whores. Get out of our way, or we'll kill you. Who does vote for these dishonest shitheads? Who among us can be happy and proud of having all this innocent blood on our hands? Who are these swine? These flag-sucking half-wits who get fleeced and fooled by stupid little rich kids like George Bush? They are the same ones who wanted to have Muhammad Ali locked up for refusing to kill gooks. They speak for all that is cruel and stupid and vicious in the American character. They are the racists and hate mongers among us; they are the Ku Klux Klan. I piss down the throats of these Nazis. And I am too old to worry about whether they like it or not. Fuck them. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Hunter S. Thompson: Not even the foulest atrocities of Adolf Hitler ever shocked me so badly as these Abu Ghraib photographs did. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Karl Marx: Between capitalist and communist society lies the period of the revolutionary transformation of the one into the other. There corresponds to this also a political transition period in which the state can be nothing but the revolutionary dictatorship of the proletariat. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Lenin: The only serious organizational principle the active workers of our movement can accept is strict secrecy, strict selection of members and the training of professional revolutionaries. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Samora Machel: The rich man's dog gets more in the way of vaccination, medicine and medical care than do the workers upon whom the rich man's wealth is built. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Lenin: From what has been said it will be clear that the national struggle under the conditions of rising capitalism is a struggle of the bourgeois classes among themselves. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Gramsci: A government of the classes of workers and peasants, which will not preoccupy itself either with the constitution or the sacred principles of liberalism, but which is determined to definitively defeat fascism, to disarm it and to defend the interests of the workers of the cities and the fields against all exploiters, this alone is the so youthful force capable of liquidating a past of oppression, of exploitation and crime and of giving a future of true liberty to all who labor. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Kwame Nkrumah: The difference between myself and Castro is that I am not aligned and he is; I am a socialist and he is a communist. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Kim Il Sung: The claim that socialism is “totalitarian”, “barracks-like” and “administrative and commanding” is not in essence different from the pernicious anti-socialist propaganda which the imperialists have conducted since the first appearance of socialism in the world. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Kim Il Sung: The imperialists have always said that socialism is an inhuman society in which there is no freedom or democracy. The terms totalitarian, barracks-like and administrative and commanding are a repetition of the imperialists’ false propaganda against socialism that uses new words. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
