Pier Paolo Pasolini: The responsibility of television is enormous, not, of course, as a technical medium, but as an instrument of power and as power itself. Because it is not only a space through which messages circulate, but is also a message-processing center. It constitutes the space where a mentality is realised which, without it, would not know where to house itself. It is through the spirit of television that the spirit of the new power concretely manifests itself. There is no doubt (the results prove it) that television is authoritarian and repressive, as no other means of information in the world has ever been. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5048

Pier Paolo Pasolini: The bourgeois – let’s say it with wit – is a vampire, who is not at peace until he has bitten the neck of his victim for pure, natural and familiar pleasure, to see her become pale, sad, ugly, lifeless, twisted, corrupt, worried, guilty, calculating, aggressive, terrorizing, like him. (…) The time has come to recognize that it is not enough to consider the bourgeoisie as a social class, but as a disease; henceforth, to regard it as a social class is even ideologically and politically an error (and that even through the purest and most intelligent instruments of Marxism-Leninism). In fact, the history of the bourgeoisie – by means of a technological civilization, which neither Marx nor Lenin could have foreseen – is about to concretely coincide with the totality of world history. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5049

Pier Paolo Pasolini: Who gave us – both young and old – the official language of protest? Marxism, poetry and the memory of the Resistance, which revives the thoughts of Vietnam and Bolivia. Why do I regret the official language of protest that the working class, through its bourgeois ideology, has given me? Because it is a language that never forgets the idea of power and is therefore always practical and reasonable. But are not pragmatism and reason the same gods who have made our bourgeois fathers mad and idiots? Poor Wagner and Nietzsche! https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5050

Lenin: Materialism is the recognition of "objects in themselves", or outside the mind; ideas and sensations are copies of images of those objects. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5051

George Orwell: But if thought corrupts language, language can also corrupt thought. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5052

Neil deGrasse Tyson: Life is fragile: We live 80 years. But we’re dead after 8 weeks without food, 8 days without water, 8 minutes without air. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5053

Dijkstra: The question of whether machines can think... Is about as relevant as the question of whether submarines can swim. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5064

Michael Jordan: I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5065

Sam Sharpe: I would rather die on yonder gallows than live in slavery. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5066

Karl Marx: The workingmen of Europe feel sure that, as the American War of Independence initiated a new era of ascendancy for the middle class, so the American Antislavery War will do for the working classes. They consider it an earnest of the epoch to come that it fell to the lot of Abraham Lincoln, the single-minded son of the working class, to lead his country through the matchless struggle for the rescue of an enchained race and the reconstruction of a social world. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5067

William Z. Foster: Like other spokesmen of the people, Lincoln was also the target of the most violent abuse, not the least of this coming from the very capitalist class which he was then leading to overwhelming victory. It is one of the ironies of history that the big capitalists of today, who are the supreme enemies of all democracy, can, although with tongue in cheek, cite the name of this great people’s leader as a champion of their class. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5068
