Suetonius: Hail, Emperor, those who are about to die salute you! https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5008
Stalin: Such is the law of the exploiters — to beat the backward and the weak. It is the jungle law of capitalism. You are backward, you are weak — therefore you are wrong; hence you can be beaten and enslaved. You are mighty — therefore you are right; hence we must be wary of you. That is why we must no longer lag behind. In the past we had no fatherland, nor could we have had one. But now that we have overthrown capitalism and power is in our hands, in the hands of the people, we have a fatherland, and we will uphold its independence. Do you want our socialist fatherland to be beaten and to lose its independence? If you do not want this, you must put an end to its backwardness in the shortest possible time and develop a genuine Bolshevik tempo in building up its socialist economy. There is no other way. That is why Lenin said on the eve of the October Revolution: "Either perish, or overtake and outstrip the advanced capitalist countries." We are fifty or a hundred years behind the advanced countries. We must make good this distance in ten years. Either we do it, or they will crush us. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5009

Roy T. Bennett: The outer world is a reflection of the inner world. Other people’s perception of you is a reflection of them; your response to them is an awareness of you. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5011
Zapata: I want to die as a slave to principles, not to men. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5012
Andrew Carnegie: I believe Socialism is the grandest theory ever presented, and I am sure it will someday rule the world. Then we will have attained the Millennium.... Then men will be content to work for the general welfare and share their riches with their neighbors. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5013
Lord Acton: I was struck in reading Karl Marx's new work by the extent to which he fetches his materials from England. It is a remarkable book, as the Koran of the new socialists. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5014
Lord Acton: At all times sincere friends of freedom have been rare, and its triumphs have been due to minorities, that have prevailed by associating themselves with auxiliaries whose objects often differed from their own; and this association, which is always dangerous, has been sometimes disastrous, by giving to opponents just grounds of opposition, and by kindling dispute over the spoils in the hour of success. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5015

Lord Acton: Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5016
Jules Ferry: We must say openly that indeed the higher races have a right over the lower races... I repeat, that the superior races have a right because they have a duty. They have the duty to civilize the inferior races... In the history of earlier centuries these duties, gentlemen, have often been misunderstood, and certainly when the Spanish soldiers and explorers introduced slavery into Central America, they did not fulfill their duty as men of a higher race... But in our time, I maintain that European nations acquit themselves with generosity, with grandeur, and with the sincerity of this superior civilizing duty. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5017
Karl Marx: We know only a single science, the science of history. One can look at history from two sides and divide it into the history of nature and the history of men. The two sides are, however, inseparable; the history of nature and the history of men are dependent on each other so long as men exist. The history of nature, called natural science, does not concern us here. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5018

Curtis LeMay: We killed off over a million civilian Koreans and drove several million more from their homes, with the inevitable additional tragedies bound to ensue. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5022
Robert Edward Lee: The consolidation of the states into one vast empire, sure to be aggressive abroad and despotic at home, will be the certain precursor of ruin which has overwhelmed all that preceded it. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5023
Georgi Plekhanov: The dictatorship of the working class is not only to overthrow the political domination of the unproductive classes in society, but also to do away with the anarchy now existing in production and consciously to organise all functions of social and economic life. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5024
Charles Bukowski: Hold on to those who noticed you when you were invisible! https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5025
Karl Marx: The value of a commodity is, in itself, of no interest to the capitalist. What alone interests him, is the surplus-value that dwells in it, and is realisable by sale. Realisation of the surplus-value necessarily carries with it the refunding of the value that was advanced. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5026

Daniel De Leon: The capitalist class is interested in keeping the workingmen divided among themselves. Hence it foments race and religious animosities that come down from the past. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5027
Daniel De Leon: Socialism is practical, in the best sense of the term; a living, vital force of inestimable value to society. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5028
Stalin: Actually, Mr. Churchill, and his friends in Britain and the United States, present to the non-English speaking nations something in the nature of an ultimatum: “Accept our rule voluntarily, and then all will be well; otherwise war is inevitable.” But the nations shed their blood in the course of five years’ fierce war for the sake of the liberty and independence of their countries, and not in order to exchange the domination of the Hitlers for the domination of the Churchills. It is quite probable, accordingly, that the non-English-speaking nations, which constitute the vast majority of the population of the world, will not agree to submit to a new slavery. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5029

Nexhmije Hoxha: The true Marxist-Leninist parties always take careful account of the stages of the revolution and have supported both the proletarian revolutions and the national liberation movements of the oppressed peoples … everywhere in the world, with all their might. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5034
Karl Marx: As Prometheus, having stolen fire from heaven, begins to build houses and to settle upon the earth, so philosophy, expanded to be the whole world, turns against the world of appearance. The same now with the philosophy of Hegel. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5035

Quotes– @protestation@friendica.xid.ch
Erich Honecker: There is no real democracy where the people who create value do not own the basic means of production. Where it operates, bourgeois democracy consists only of those freedoms that the workers were able to win from capital through struggle. Where power belongs to capital, the people are silenced. Democratic structures and mechanisms do not change anything. Their function ceases where profit and class interests come into play. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5036
Fidel Castro: Only socialism, only communism, only a society without the exploited or exploiters, only a classless society can solve the problem of man, minorities and national majorities. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5037
