Elizabeth Gurley Flynn: It is the historic mission of the working class to do away with capitalism. The army of production must be organized, not only for everyday struggle with capitalists, but also to carry on production when capitalism shall have been overthrown. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Malcolm X: The only way we'll get freedom for ourselves is to identify ourselves with every oppressed people in the world. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Mao Zedong: We are Marxists, and Marxism teaches that in our approach to a problem we should start from objective facts, not from abstract definitions, and that we should derive our guiding principles, policies, and measures from an analysis of these facts. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Wang Hongwen: A true Communist must act without any selfish considerations and dare to go against the tide, fearing neither removal from his post, expulsion from the Party, imprisonment, divorce nor guillotine. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Larry Sanger: We do have evidence that, as early as 2008, CIA and FBI computers were used to edit Wikipedia. Do you think that they stopped doing that? wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Oswalt Burghart: We do not fear the open enemies, but rather the ones who with a friendly word on their lips come to us in order to tear our soul to pieces, to sow the seed of dissension in our hearts. wordsmith.social/protestation/…

Extrait de l'ouverture de la revue "Les Temps modernes" écrite par Jean-Paul Sartre en 1945:
Le populisme est un enfant de vieux, le triste rejeton des derniers réalistes; c'est encore un essai pour tirer son épingle du jeu. Serions-nous muets et cois comme des cailloux, notre passivité même serait une action. Celui qui consacrerait sa vie à faire des romans sur les Hittites, son abstention serait par elle-même une prise de position. L'écrivain est en situation dans son époque: chaque parole a des retentissements. Chaque silence aussi. Je tiens Flaubert et Goncourt pour responsables de la répression qui suivit la Commune parce qu'ils n'ont pas écrit une ligne pour l'empêcher. Ce n'était pas leur affaire, dira-t-on. Mais le procès Calas, était-ce l'affaire de Voltaire? La condamnation de Dreyfus, était-ce l'affaire de Zola? L'administration du Congo, était-ce l'affaire de Gide? Chacun de ces auteurs, en une circonstance particulière de sa vie, a mesuré sa responsabilité d'écrivain.
|Chaque parole a une conséquence. Chaque silence aussi.|
Lenin: The dialectics of history were such that the theoretical victory of Marxism compelled its enemies to disguise themselves as Marxists. Liberalism, rotten within, tried to revive itself in the form of socialist opportunism. They interpreted the period of preparing the forces for great battles as renunciation of these battles. Improvement of the conditions of the slaves to fight against wage slavery they took to mean the sale by the slaves of their right to liberty for a few pence. They cravenly preached "social peace" (i.e., peace with the slave-owners), renunciation of the class struggle, etc. They had very many adherents among socialist members of parliament, various officials of the working-class movement, and the "sympathising" intelligentsia. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Plato: The rulers then of the city may, if anybody, fitly lie on account of enemies or citizens for the benefit of the state; no others may have anything to do with it. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Lenin: In the sea of people we are after all but a drop in the ocean, and we can administer only when we express correctly what the people are conscious of. Unless we do this the Communist Party will not lead the proletariat, the proletariat will not lead the masses, and the whole machine will collapse. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Kang Sheng: We must carry out severe suppression of counterrevolutionaries, this is the greatest form of democracy... We must carry out dictatorship over counterrevolutionary elements... Only revolutionaries have freedom of speech. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Lenin: Soviet socialist democracy is not in the least incompatible with individual rule and dictatorship. The will of a class may sometimes be carried out by a dictator who can sometimes do more all by himself and who is frequently more essential. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
William Casey: We'll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Lenin: For the bourgeoisie, freedom of the press meant freedom for the rich to publish and for the capitalists to control the newspapers, a practice which in all countries, including even the freest, produced a corrupt press. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Lenin: For the workers' and peasants' government, freedom of the press means liberation of the press from capitalist oppression, and public ownership of paper mills and printing presses; equal right for public groups of a certain size (say, numbering 10, 000) to a fair share of newsprint stocks and a corresponding quantity of printers' labour. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
