Terence McKenna: What we call reality is in fact nothing more than a culturally sanctioned and linguistically reinforced hallucination. wordsmith.social/protestation/…


Andrei Zhdanov: Under the leadership of Comrade Stalin, the Party is organizing the masses for the struggle to destroy capitalist elements once and for all, to eradicate the vestiges of capitalism in our economy and in people's minds, and to complete the technical reconstruction of our national economy. The eradication of vestiges of capitalism in people's consciousness means struggle against every vestige of bourgeois influence over the proletariat, against laxity, frivolity or idling, against petty-bourgeois license and individualism, against graft and dishonesty towards social property. We hold a trusty weapon to overcome all the difficulties in our path. This weapon is the great and invincible teaching of Marx, Engels, Lenin and Stalin, now being put into practice by our Party. wordsmith.social/protestation/…






Lenin: The socialist revolution is not a single act, it is not one battle on one front, but a whole epoch of acute class conflicts, a long series of battles on all fronts, i.e., on all questions of economics and politics, battles that can only end in the expropriation of the bourgeoisie. It would be a radical mistake to think that the struggle for democracy was capable of diverting the proletariat from the socialist revolution or of hiding, overshadowing it, etc. On the contrary, in the same way as there can be no victorious socialism that does not practise full democracy, so the proletariat cannot prepare for its victory over the bourgeoisie without an all-round, consistent and revolutionary struggle for democracy. wordsmith.social/protestation/…



Elie Wiesel: We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented. wordsmith.social/protestation/…


Un moment de patience peut préserver de grands malheurs, un moment d'impatience, détruire toute une vie.


"Proverbe" apparu pour la première fois dans l'ouvrage "Health Readings (inquiry Into Health Problems)" de Stephen Maltz (1968) sous la forme: «Un moment de patience peut éviter un grand désastre, un moment d'impatience peut ruiner toute une vie.»

Omali Yeshitela: It’s not enough to say ‘peace’. Biden wants ‘peace”. Netanyahu wants ‘peace’. But all they want is oppressed people to stop fighting. The want ‘peace’ on the plantation. They want ‘imperialist peace’. wordsmith.social/protestation/…


Fidel Castro: This party was born of two essential, fundamental, invaluable factors: the union of all revolutionaries (...) and a scientific doctrine, a political-revolutionary philosophy: Marxism-Leninism. wordsmith.social/protestation/…



Le télescope spatial Hubble a contribué à résoudre le mystère de l'eau qui s'échappe de Mars.


Les scientifiques ont découvert que les taux d'échappement de l'hydrogène et de l'«hydrogène lourd», appelé deutérium, changent rapidement lorsque Mars est proche du Soleil. Cette découverte bouleverse l'image classique que les scientifiques avaient jusqu'à présent, selon laquelle ces atomes se diffusaient lentement dans l'atmosphère jusqu'à une hauteur où ils pouvaient s'échapper. L'extrapolation du taux d'échappement dans le temps a aidé l'équipe à comprendre l'histoire de l'eau sur la planète rouge.

Voici des images Hubble dans l'ultraviolet lointain de Mars à son point le plus éloigné du Soleil, appelé aphélie, le 31 décembre 2017 (en haut), et à son point le plus proche du Soleil, appelé périhélie, le 19 décembre 2016 (en bas). L'atmosphère est clairement plus lumineuse et plus étendue lorsque Mars est proche du Soleil.

La lumière solaire réfléchie par Mars à ces longueurs d'onde montre la diffusion par les molécules atmosphériques et la brume, tandis que les calottes polaires et certaines caractéristiques de la surface sont également visibles. Hubble et MAVEN de la NASA ont montré que les conditions atmosphériques martiennes changent très rapidement. Lorsque Mars est proche du Soleil, les molécules d'eau s'élèvent très rapidement dans l'atmosphère, se brisant et libérant des atomes à haute altitude.

Erich Honecker: We all had fought against Nazism. Whether in the KPD or the SPD, after liberation from Nazism we had jointly taken the road of antifascist democratic reformation, the road to the German Democratic Republic. wordsmith.social/protestation/…


Michael Sherlock: Christianity did not become a major religion by the quality of its truth, but by the quantity of its violence. wordsmith.social/protestation/…


Stalin: As far as I know in the CPC there is a thin layer of the proletariat and the nationalist sentiments are very strong and if you will not conduct genuinely Marxist-Leninist class policies and not conduct struggle against bourgeois nationalism, the nationalists will strangle you. Then not only will socialist construction be terminated, China may become a dangerous toy in the hands of American imperialists. In the building of socialism in China I strongly recommend you to fully utilise Lenin’s splendid work ‘The Immediate Tasks of Soviet Power’. This would assure success. wordsmith.social/protestation/…



Malcolm X: They accuse us of what they themselves are guilty of. This is what the criminal always does. They’ll bomb you, then accuse you of bombing yourself. They’ll crush your skull, then accuse you of attacking him. wordsmith.social/protestation/…

L'esprit et le corps sont-ils séparés et si oui, lequel vaut-il mieux choisir?


Citation probablement apocryphe introduite par Christophe André sans référence dans "Je médite jour après jour" (2014), puis reprise sans vérification par d'autres auteurs amis du psychiatre.

Le corps, l'âme et l'esprit constitue l'être dans les 3 religions monothéistes. Ils ne seront séparés qu'à la mort.

Il est probable que Christophe André ait repris la citation "Is there a separation between body and mind, and if so which is it better to have?" attribuée à Woody Allen aux États-Unis sans référence et inexistante dans la littérature et sur Twitter (plus maintenant 😁).



Lenin: The liberals cannot advocate a struggle, because they are afraid of it. They respond to the intensification of reaction by whining about a constitution, thus corrupting people’s minds, and by intensified opportunism. The methods of the liberals were aptly and graphically hit off by the Trudovik Sedelnikov at a meeting on May 9 in the Panina Palace. When a liberal is abused, he says: Thank God they didn’t beat me. When he is beaten, he thanks God they didn’t kill him. When he is killed, he will thank God that his immortal soul has been delivered from its mortal clay. wordsmith.social/protestation/…



Enver Hoxha: The modern revisionists try to justify the approach to and union with the social-democrats under the pretext that "positive trends" are allegedly being observed especially in recent times, among the ranks of social democracy; that they have allegedly expressed themselves in favor of peace, peaceful coexistence, disarmament, that they have positively modified their attitude toward the USSR, that they have expressed themselves in favor of some kind of approach to the communists, that they have expressed some sort of willingness to meet the demands of the working class, to preserve and strengthen democratic institutions, they have stated that they are in favor of socialist transformation of society and so forth. Thus, in order to justify their line of approach to the rightwing leaders of social-democracy, the revisionists try to create the illusion that it is not the revisionist train which is speeding its way to the social-democratic station, but the social-democratic station is coming up to meet the revisionist train! wordsmith.social/protestation/…

Xi Jinping: In the days when the Chinese people were poor, weak, and at the mercy of others, all sorts of ideologies and theories were attempted. The capitalist road was tried and found wanting. Reformism, liberalism, social Darwinism, anarchism, pragmatism, populism, syndicalism—they all were given their moment on the stage. They all failed to solve the problems of China’s future destiny. It is Marxism-Leninism and Mao Zedong Thought that guided the Chinese people out of the darkness of that long night and established a New China. wordsmith.social/protestation/…


Enver Hoxha: Present-day social-democracy is a direct follower of the traitorous 2nd International. It has inherited all the ideological luggage, organization and tactics of the parties of the 2nd International. The social-democrats began their betrayal by getting away from the basic teachings of Marxism-Leninism, which they proclaim as out-dated and inexpedient, by renouncing the class struggle and replacing it with the "theory" of harmony and reconciliation of classes, by negating the revolution and replacing it with reforms within the capitalist order, by giving up the revolutionary way and replacing it with "peaceful", "democratic" and parliamentary method, by denying the indispensability of breaking up the old bourgeois state machinery and accepting the capitalist state as a means to cross over to socialism, by withholding their assent to the dictatorship of the proletariat and replacing it with "pure and general democracy", by departing from proletarian internationalism and going so far the other way as to plunge into positions of the national-chauvinists, to open union with the imperialist bourgeoisie. wordsmith.social/protestation/…

Sun Tzu: If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
