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/…
Moissaye J. Olgin: This is capitalism in its modern form. This is capitalist civilization. A palace built on crushed human bones. Glittering glory for a few at the price of oceans of blood and tears of the many. Progress running amuck at every step... Prosperity devouring itself and devouring untold human lives. Expansion made possible by killing and maiming huge masses of innocent people. Scientific advance made to serve the purpose of destruction. Security for the non-producers; starvation for the producers... The drones in great esteem; the workers downtrodden and despised. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
William F. Dunne: As a worker, ordinary, daily events of development of the class struggle are familiar to them. They expect these things as the routine of working-class life and see no news value in them. It is this outlook of the worker that makes it hard for them to write or speak. They are not inarticulate because of lack of words, but because they have been taught by capitalism to look upon the thousand and one tyrannies, inconveniences, and hardships inflicted on the workers as of little importance — things to be endured without comment or complaint. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Hey there, I'm Kees (they/them/their, ne/nem/nir), a 30-something bug living in California. I'm hoping to make this my public facing account to share my art and generally interact with the rest of the fediverse.

Thomas Sankara: Eternal glory to the peoples who are struggling for their freedom! Eternal glory to the peoples who stand shoulder to shoulder to defend their dignity! Eternal victory to the peoples of Africa, Latin America and Asia in their struggle! wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Nikola Tesla: The scientific man doesn’t aim at an immediate result. He doesn’t expect that his advanced ideas will be readily taken up. His work is like that of the planter - for the future. His duty is to lay the foundation for those who are to come, and point the way. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Always be on the alert against Trotskyism, reformism and revisionism / Soyez toujours en alerte contre le trotskysme, le réformisme et le révisionnisme / Seid immer wachsam gegen Trotzkismus, Reformismus und Revisionismus
Stalin: Industrial crises, which sound the death knell of capitalist property and bluntly put the question: capitalism or socialism, make this conclusion absolutely obvious; they vividly reveal the parasitism of the capitalists and the inevitability of the victory of socialism. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Kim Jong-il: Like a tree that has sunk its roots deep in the earth, which does not fall no matter how fierce the storm may be, the party can remain firm in any circumstances only when it has sunk its roots deep in the broad masses. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Now I'm cranky because I had to ban a user for genocide denial bullshit...
How the hell do you come onto a blatantly anti-Zionist server and think you're going to get a chill response at claiming the palestinian genocide isn't real?
Deng Xiaoping: If we had taken the capitalist road, we could not have put an end to the chaos in the country or done away with poverty or backwardness. That is why we have repeatedly declared that we shall adhere to Marxism and keep the socialist road. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Kim Jong-il: The struggle between socialism and capitalism is the struggle between collectivism and individualism and the superiority of socialism over capitalism is the superiority of collectivism over individualism. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Kim Jong-il: Those who only pursue their own pleasure cry and laugh because of money, but those who wage revolution seek their self-worth, pleasure, happiness and honour and feel dignity and pride in devoting themselves to the benefit of their community and posterity. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Kim Jong-il: A revolution not guided by a correct idea, theory and method is doomed to go off course and wander like a ship without a compass. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Kim Jong-il: As a house on a weak foundation cannot last long, a fantasy, however good it is, becomes an absurd daydream if it is supported by weak basic knowledge. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Kim Jong-il: A learned man is not one who uses complicated and difficult words in spoken and written language, but one who uses words that are easily understood by ordinary people. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Karl Marx: All that modern nations have achieved is to disguise slavery at home and import it openly into the New World. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Lenin: The Poor Peasants' Committees are necessary to fight the kulaks, the rich, the exploiters, who shackle the working peasants. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
