Theodore White: The power of the press in America is a primordial one. It sets the agenda of public discussion; and this sweeping poli tical power is unrestrained by any law. It determines what people will talk and think about— an authority that in other nations is reserved for tyrants, priests, parties, and mandarins. wordsmith.social/protestation/…




Rosa Luxemburg: Without general elections, without freedom of the press, freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, without the free battle of opinions, life in every public institution withers away, becomes a caricature of itself, and bureaucracy rises as the only deciding factor. wordsmith.social/protestation/…

Emir Sader: If a monkey hoarded more bananas than it could eat, while most other monkeys starved to death, scientists would study that monkey to find out what the hell was going on with it. When humans do that, we put them on the cover of Forbes. wordsmith.social/protestation/…


Barbara Ehrenreich: Please, no more talk of companies “giving” people jobs. In reality, the gift relationship goes in the opposite direction. Workers give their blood, sweat and tears, sometimes their lives, and in return companies pay them the minimum they can get away with. wordsmith.social/protestation/…



Lenin: The idea of building communist society exclusively with the hands of the Communists is childish, absolutely childish. We communists are but a drop in the ocean, a drop in the ocean of the people. wordsmith.social/protestation/…


Malala Yousafzai: I am convinced Socialism is the only answer and I urge all comrades to take this struggle to a victorious conclusion. Only this will free us from the chains of bigotry and exploitation. wordsmith.social/protestation/…


Lenin: We started this. Exactly when, at what time, the proletarians of which nation will carry this matter to the end is an insignificant question. The essential is that the ice is broken, that the path is open, the road is shown. wordsmith.social/protestation/…


Lenin: The proletariat, rallying in the struggle, developing by the struggle its own consciousness, organization and experience, comes ever wider and wider to firm conviction of the need for a complete economic reorganization of capitalist society. wordsmith.social/protestation/…



Lenin: Having read with great tremendous interest and unflagging attention John Reed’s book, “The Ten Days That Shook the World,” I sincerely recommend this book to workers of all countries. wordsmith.social/protestation/…


Lenin: In the capitalist world, Marx's doctrine arouses the greatest enmity and hatred of all bourgeois science, which considers marxism something like a "pernicious sect." One cannot expect a different attitude, because there cannot be a science that is “impartial" in a society built on class struggle. wordsmith.social/protestation/…




Armand Leleux


Armand Leleux, né Armand Hubert Simon Leleux le 10 juin 1818 à Paris et mort à Dardagny le 1er juin 1885, était un peintre français.

Il est le frère cadet du peintre Adolphe Pierre Leleux.

Élève d'Ingres, Armand Leleux l'accompagne en Italie en 1835. Il expose pour la première fois au Salon de Paris en 1839. En 1840, il est envoyé en Espagne pour réaliser des copies des maîtres espagnols. Il voyage beaucoup, en Espagne, en Italie, en Allemagne, puis s'installe en Suisse. En 1848, il épouse Louise-Émilie Giraud (1824-1885), Genevoise et peintre comme lui. Le couple vit alors entre Paris et Dardagny où les parents d'Émilie possèdent un petit château. Le couple y accueille de nombreux amis, parmi lesquels Jean-Baptiste Camille Corot, Théophile Gautier ou Eugène Sue. La couple a eu deux enfants, Hélène et Léon.

En 1864, Armand Leleux reçoit de S. M. le roi d'Italie la croix de chevalier de Saint Maurice et de Saint Lazare.

Comme son frère, Armand Leleux peint des scènes de genre folkloriques ou pittoresques dans un style réaliste. Mais il exécute aussi des tableaux plus intimistes représentant des intérieurs dans un style flamand ou hollandais.
