Michael Sayers: Fom the beginning, the Left Opposition had functioned in two ways. Openly, on public platforms, in its own newspapers and lecture halls, the oppositionists brought their propaganda to the people. Behind the scenes, small clandestine factional conferences of Trotsky, Bukharin, Zinoviev, Radek, Pyatakov and others mapped out the over-all strategy and planned the tactics of the Opposition. With this opposition movement as a base, Trotsky built a secret conspiratorial organization in Russia based on the "fives system" which Reilly had developed and which the Social Revolutionaries and other anti-Soviet conspirators had used. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Evo Morales: The reason there have never been any military coups in the U.S. is because there is no U.S. embassy there. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Mao Zedong: You are right, (dictatorial) is just what we are. All the experiences (of) the Chinese people ... (teach) us to enforce the people's democratic dictatorship, to deprive the reactionaries of the right to speak and let the people alone have that right. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Stalin: Why does the international proletariat support us? How did we merit this support? By the fact that we were the first to hurl ourselves into the battle against capitalism, we were the first to establish working-class state power, we were the first to begin building socialism. By the fact that we were engaged on a cause which, if successful, will transform the whole world and free the entire working class. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Stalin: We must march forward in such a way that the working class of the whole world, looking at us, may say: There you have my advanced detachment, my shock brigade, my working-class state power, my fatherland; they are engaged on their cause, our cause, and they are working well; let us support them against the capitalists and promote the cause of the world revolution. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Ho Chi Minh: With regard to the Vietnamese revolution and Vietnamese people, Leninism is not only a valuable ‘vade-mecum’ and a compass, but it is also the sun which lightens the road for us to go to final victory, to socialism and communism. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Haile Selassie I: Discipline gives total freedom; it allows you to go beyond your limitations and to reach the ultimate goal. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Karl Marx: But capital not only lives upon labor. Like a master, at once distinguished and barbarous, it drags with it into its grave the corpses of its slaves, whole hecatombs of workers, who perish in the crises. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Fred Hampton: Not theory and theory alone, but theory and practice. The two go together. We not only thought about the Marxist-Leninist theory—we put it into practice. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Kim Jong-il: The masses are the teachers of everything and the creators of everything. A leader only acquires wisdom, leadership, and virtue by going among the masses. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Kim Jong-il: Unlike in capitalist society where every realm of social life is based on individualism, a socialist society is a collective society where all the people work together sharing a common goal and common interests. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Che Guevara: If I lose, it will not mean that it was impossible to win. Many were defeated trying to reach the top of Everest, and in the end Everest was defeated. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
William Z. Foster: (W)e face a tremendous educational problem in the sense that we have to help the masses of the American people understand that the United States has embarked on an imperialist policy aimed at domination of the world. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Lenin: The proletarian revolution calls for a prolonged education of the workers in the spirit of the fullest equality and brotherhood. wordsmith.social/protestation/…

Extrait de "Le Diable et le Bon Dieu" de Jean-Paul Sartre (1951):
Je le serai, oui, avec l'aide de Dieu. Je sais que le Bien est plus pénible que le Mal. Le Mal ce n'était que moi, le Bien c'est tout. Mais je n'ai pas peur. Il faut réchauffer la terre et je la réchaufferai. Dieu m'a donné mandat d'éblouir et j'éblouirai, je saignerai de la lumière. Je suis un charbon ardent, le souffle de Dieu m'attise, je brûle vif. Boulanger, je suis malade du Bien et je veux que cette maladie soit contagieuse. Je serai témoin, martyr et tentation.
|Je suis malade du Bien et je veux que cette maladie soit contagieuse.|
Meridel Leseur: The artist must become voice, messenger, organizer, awakener, sparking the inflammable silence, reflection back to the courage and the beauty. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
William Z. Foster: So long as capitalism lasts war must continue to curse the human race. It is the historical task of the proletariat to put an end to this hoary monster. This it will do by destroying the capitalist system and with it the economic causes that bring about war. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Mao Zedong: What should our policy be towards non-Marxist ideas? As far as unmistakable counter-revolutionaries and saboteurs of the socialist cause are concerned, the matter is easy, we simply deprive them of their freedom of speech. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
I don't think it's talked about enough tbh. When my egg cracked, there was a sense of dread... because once I knew there was no going back. My life would never be safe again. Do I regret it? Not one bit, I'm genuinely happier now, but I do miss safety...
In an uninspiring story out of Chicago, 28-year-old Shelly Deichman would actually rather be safe than lauded as brave for simply existing as a trans woman.
Charles Emil Ruthenberg: The role of the party is to be the battalion at the front leading the working class hosts forward against the enemy in spite of all persecutions, in spite of the efforts of the capitalists to destroy it, until the victory of the workers is won. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
