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

Muammar Gaddafi: Only the Arab rulers are afraid of America and Israel, not the Arab citizen... the rulers are afraid that they will be overthrown. If they were overthrown, it would be an honor to fall in the battle for Arab unity while confronting the Zionists and the imperialists! https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5032
Nâzım Hikmet Ran: We will sink this pirate ship, we will sink it come hell or high water and we will build a world free, open, full of hope. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5033
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
Herbert Spencer: The great aim of education is not knowledge but action. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5038
Herbert Spencer: Bear constantly in mind the truth that the aim of your discipline should be to produce a self-governing being; not to produce a being to be governed by others. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5039
Pier Paolo Pasolini: As long as man exploits man, as long as mankind is divided into masters and slaves, there will be neither normality nor peace. This is the reason for all the evil of our time. (…) From this division comes tragedy and death. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5040

Quotes– @protestation@friendica.xid.ch
Pier Paolo Pasolini: I harbor a visceral, deep, irreducible, hatred against the bourgeoisie, against its sufficiency, its vulgarity; a mythical hatred, or, if you prefer, religious. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5041
Pier Paolo Pasolini: The Church can only be reactionary; the Church can only be on the side of power; the Church can only accept the authoritarian and formal rules of society; the Church can only accept hierarchical societies in which the ruling class guarantees order; the Church can only hate every form of thought that is even only timidly free; the Church can only be opposed to any anti-repressive innovation (…); the Church can only act completely outside the teachings of the Gospel; the Church can only make practical decisions by formally referring to the name of God, and sometimes even forgetting to do so; the Church can only impose hope verbally, because her own experience of human actions forbids her to nourish every kind of hope; the Church can only (to refer to current issues) consider as eternally valid and paradigmatic its concordat with fascism. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5042
GautierDay hat dies geteilt.
Pier Paolo Pasolini: In the United States, during my very brief stay, I lived for several hours in the clandestine climate of struggle, of revolutionary urgency, of hope that was that of Europe in 1944 and 1945. (…) I followed a young black trade unionist who led me to the section of his movement, a small movement that only counts in Harlem a few hundred members – and who fights black unemployment; I followed him to one of his comrades, a mason who had had an accident at work and who welcomed us lying on his poor bed, with the smile of friend, accomplice and full of the love our resisters had and that we have forgotten. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5043
Pier Paolo Pasolini: I want to say that if I am a Marxist, this Marxism has always been extremely critical of official Communists, especially with regard to the PCI; I have always been a minority outside the Party since my first book of poetry, The Ashes of Gramsci. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5044
Pier Paolo Pasolini: When there is nothing left of the classical world, when all of the peasants and craftsmen are dead, when industry has made the cycle of production and consumption turn relentlessly, then our story will be over. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5045
Pier Paolo Pasolini: I am not Catholic ideologically and I am not a believer, so I do not see why my rationalization of the irrational must be Catholic, my rationalization is Marxist. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5046
Pier Paolo Pasolini: The fever of consumption is a fever of obedience to an unspoken order. Everyone, in Italy, feels the degrading anxiety of being like the others in the act of consummation, of being happy, of being free, because that is the order that each one has unconsciously received and to which he “must” obey if he feels different. Never has difference been such a frightful fault, as in this period of tolerance. Equality has not, in fact, been conquered, but is, on the contrary, a “false” equality received as a gift. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5047
