Lenin: War is a continuation of policy by other means. All wars are inseparable from the political systems that engender them. The policy which a given state, a given class within that state, pursued for a long time before the war is inevitably continued by that same class during the war, the form of action alone being changed. wordsmith.social/protestation/…

Lenin: This state of affairs prevails not only in Russia, but in every other country where Capital rules. A handful of bankers, who have the whole world in their grip, are making a fortune out of the war. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Clara Zetkin: The cruel fate of the masses weigh with especial heaviness on the women, unless they happen to be appendages of the capitalist industrialist magnates, dealers, speculators, profiteers, and usurers.
