Andrei Zhdanov: Thus, in Italy, as in France, the communists overestimated the strength of reaction, became victims of imperialist intimidation and blackmail, underestimated their own strength, the strength of democracy, the will of the people to protect their fundamental national rights and interests of their country. This is all the more regrettable because both the French and Italian communist parties have shown their ability to rally broad masses of the working class, labouring peasantry and intelligentsia around the communist banner in difficult conditions of work. In view of the fact that the majority of the leaders of the socialist parties (especially the British labourites and the French socialists) are acting as agents of United States imperialist circles, upon the communists devolves the special historical task of leading the resistance to the American plan for the enthralment of Europe, and of boldly denouncing all coadjutors of American imperialism in their own countries. wordsmith.social/protestation/…





Ludwig von Mises: It is labor alone that is productive: it creates wealth and therewith lays the outward foundations for the inward flowering of man. wordsmith.social/protestation/…




Ludwig von Mises: Society has arisen out of the works of peace; the essence of society is peacemaking. Peace and not war is the father of all things. Only economic action has created the wealth around us; labor, not the profession of arms, brings happiness. Peace builds, war destroys. wordsmith.social/protestation/…


Maxim Gorky: If the clouds of hatred for (Lenin), the clouds of lies and slander woven round him were even denser it would not matter, for there is no such force as could dim the torch he has raised in the stifling darkness of the world gone mad. wordsmith.social/protestation/…



We, the unwilling, led by the unknowing, are doing the impossible for the ungrateful. We have done so much, for so long, with so little, we are now qualified to do anything with nothing. - anonymous wordsmith.social/protestation/…


Friedrich Engels: It is, therefore, the law of division of labour that lies at the basis of the division into classes. But this does not prevent this division into classes from being carried out by means of violence and robbery, trickery and fraud. It does not prevent the ruling class, once having the upper hand, from consolidating its power at the expense of the working class, from turning its social leadership into an exploitation of the masses. But if, upon this showing, division into classes has a certain historical justification, it has this only for a given period, only under given social conditions. It was based upon the insufficiency of production. It will be swept away by the complete development of modern productive forces. And, in fact, the abolition of classes in society presupposes a degree of historical evolution at which the existence, not simply of this or that particular ruling class, but of any ruling class at all, and, therefore, the existence of class distinction itself has become an obsolete anachronism. It presupposes, therefore, the development of production carried out to a degree at which appropriation of the means of production and of the products, and, with this, of political domination, of the monopoly of culture, and of intellectual leadership by a particular class of society, has become not only superfluous but economically, politically, intellectually a hindrance to development. This point is now reached. wordsmith.social/protestation/…

John Ehrlichman: You want to know what this was really all about. The Nixon campaign in 1968, and the Nixon White House after that, had two enemies: the antiwar left and black people. You understand what I’m saying. We knew we couldn’t make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities. We could arrest their leaders, raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did. wordsmith.social/protestation/…


Robespierre: Man is born to be happy and free, and everywhere he is enslaved and unhappy! Society exists for the purpose of conserving his rights and perfecting his being, and everywhere society degrades and oppresses him! The time has come to remind him of his true destiny. wordsmith.social/protestation/…



Victor Ravet


Victor Ravet était un peintre belge né en 1840 à Bruxelles et décédé en 1895.

Il a peint la vie de la petite bourgeoisie dans des tableaux de genre narratifs et finement élaborés. Il connaissait la vie de cette classe sociale, car il en était lui-même issu. Les simples ouvriers et les lavandières étaient également un sujet populaire. Ravet a reçu des leçons de peinture de Jean-François Portaels, qui s'était fait connaître par des peintures d'histoire romancées, des scènes religieuses, des portraits et des scènes de genre. À partir de 1845, Ravet expose régulièrement ses œuvres lors d'expositions, notamment aux Salons de Bruxelles et de Gand.







Theodor Grust


Theodor Grust (27 août 1857 à Meissen - 9 novembre 1919 à Meissen) est un peintre de genre et de porcelaine allemand. De 1905 à 1909, il fut directeur de la peinture à la manufacture de porcelaine de Meissen.

Grust étudia à partir de 1878 à l'Académie des Beaux-Arts de Dresde, où il fut parfois l'élève de Theodor Grosse. En 1886, il se rendit à Munich. De là, des voyages d'études l'ont conduit en Belgique et aux Pays-Bas.

En 1898, il retourne à Meissen. Il y devient d'abord collaborateur, puis directeur de la peinture de la manufacture royale de porcelaine de Saxe. Grust est l'auteur de nombreux projets de formes et de décors, par exemple le «décor en trèfle», le «décor en étrier» ou le décor «Misnia». C'est également à cette époque qu'il réalise plusieurs peintures à l'huile représentant des scènes du genre petit-bourgeois.

Dans les années 1905/06, on lui confia la direction artistique de la restauration de ce que l'on appelle le train des princes sur le mur nord de la cour des écuries à Dresde.

Il est le père de F. G. Grust, artiste peintre né en 1889, dont on ne sait pas grand chose.



F. G. Grust


F. G. Grust était un peintre allemand né en 1889 et décédé à une date inconnue (après 1925). Il est surtout connu pour ses scènes d'intérieur domestique représentant une mère avec ses jeunes enfants. Il est le fils de l'artiste Theordor Grust (1859-1919), qui a également peint des scènes de genre hollandaises.

On en sait pas plus sur lui.




anxiety attack regarding us pol, transphobia, antisemitism, health

Totally beyond overwhelmed right...

Moves wildly overwhelm me in the best of times, but now I'm:
* getting over being sick, still losing sleep from coughing and occasional debilitatingly painful coughing fits
* still exhausted from recent overwhelming emotional labor a couple of weeks ago
* massive anxiety over being hyper aware of increasing threats to my safety from !the fucking government! for being trans and how it's even fucking with my ID and ability to legally drive (I literally have no valid photo id right now, and terrified that'll block me from moving in)
* next month is an election that determines whether this country continues its descent into mirroring Nazi Germany
* nevermind that sickness and anxiety kept me from attending The High Holy Days at synagogue!
* or the fact that said synagogue still has the persistent reminder of being firebombed back in 2021 and anti-semitism is only getting worse so I'm always a little afraid when attending

I just... can't... but I still have to keep moving somehow...
