Lenin: Those who are really convinced that they have made progress in science would not demand freedom for the new views to continue side by side with the old, but the substitution of the new views for the old. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Hunter S. Thompson: These horrifying digital snapshots of the American dream in action on foreign soil are worse than anything even I could have expected. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Hunter S. Thompson: The towers are gone now, reduced to bloody rubble, along with all hopes for Peace in Our Time, in the United States or any other country. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Mao Zedong: Fight, fail, fight again, fail again, fight again . . . till their victory; that is the logic of the people, and they too will never go against this logic. This is another Marxist law. The Russian people's revolution followed this law, and so has the Chinese people's revolution. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Hunter S. Thompson: We have become a Nazi monster in the eyes of the whole world, a nation of bullies and bastards who would rather kill than live peacefully. We are not just Whores for power and oil, but killer whores with hate and fear in our hearts. We are human scum, and that is how history will judge us. No redeeming social value. Just whores. Get out of our way, or we'll kill you. Who does vote for these dishonest shitheads? Who among us can be happy and proud of having all this innocent blood on our hands? Who are these swine? These flag-sucking half-wits who get fleeced and fooled by stupid little rich kids like George Bush? They are the same ones who wanted to have Muhammad Ali locked up for refusing to kill gooks. They speak for all that is cruel and stupid and vicious in the American character. They are the racists and hate mongers among us; they are the Ku Klux Klan. I piss down the throats of these Nazis. And I am too old to worry about whether they like it or not. Fuck them. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Hunter S. Thompson: Not even the foulest atrocities of Adolf Hitler ever shocked me so badly as these Abu Ghraib photographs did. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Karl Marx: Between capitalist and communist society lies the period of the revolutionary transformation of the one into the other. There corresponds to this also a political transition period in which the state can be nothing but the revolutionary dictatorship of the proletariat. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Lenin: The only serious organizational principle the active workers of our movement can accept is strict secrecy, strict selection of members and the training of professional revolutionaries. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Samora Machel: The rich man's dog gets more in the way of vaccination, medicine and medical care than do the workers upon whom the rich man's wealth is built. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Lenin: From what has been said it will be clear that the national struggle under the conditions of rising capitalism is a struggle of the bourgeois classes among themselves. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
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.
I'm an amateur naturalist (I like BIRDS and BUGS, especially parasitic wasps) and I do art in various media (digital, watercolor, acrylic), usually of birds or original characters from an ARPG I help run. #tokipona li pona. Aaand I don't know what else to put in here so I'll stop ha.
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/…
