Hugh Culliton: Capitalism is based on the ridiculous notion that you can enjoy limitless growth in a finite system. In biology such behavior of cells is call "cancer". https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5115
León Gieco: I only ask of God that the pain is not indifferent to me, that the dried death does not encounter me empty and alone without having done enough. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5116

Tony Cliff: If I’m travelling on a filthy dirty train, as a white man under capitalism I will have a seat next to the window. The woman or the black or whoever will have a seat away from the window in even worse conditions than me. But the real problem is the train. We all have to endure the same train. We have no control over a driver who is taking us all into the abyss. Why does the capitalist class keep reminding us of these differences? Because it wants to turn our attention away from the key problem: class relations. All the time we’re told to look at personal relations, at arguments between one section and another. That is why socialists should detest concepts such as the enemy of the unskilled is the skilled, the enemy of the man is the woman, or the other way round. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5118

Stalin: The workers cannot trust their leaders when these leaders sink into the swamp of the diplomatic game, when their words are not supported by deeds, when the words and deeds of leaders do not coincide. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5122
Kwame Nkrumah: Race is inextricably linked with class exploitation. In a racist-capitalist power structure, capitalist exploitation and race oppression are complementary; the removal of one ensures the removal of the other. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5123
Karl Marx: The working class did not expect miracles from the Commune. They have no ready-made utopias to introduce par decret du peuple. They know that in order to work out their own emancipation, and along with it that higher form to which present society is irresistably tending by its own economical agencies, they will have to pass through long struggles, through a series of historic processes, transforming circumstances and men. They have no ideals to realize, but to set free the elements of the new society with which old collapsing bourgeois society itself is pregnant. In the full consciousness of their historic mission, and with the heroic resolve to act up to it, the working class can afford to smile at the coarse invective of the gentlemen's gentlemen with pen and inkhorn, and at the didactic patronage of well-wishing bourgeois-doctrinaires, pouring forth their ignorant platitudes and sectarian crotchets in the oracular tone of scientific infallibility. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5124
Friedrich Engels: For it (dialectical philosophy), nothing is final, absolute, sacred. It reveals the transitory character of everything and in everything; nothing can endure before it except the uninterrupted process of becoming and of passing away, of endless ascendancy from the lower to the higher. And dialectical philosophy itself is nothing more than the mere reflection of this process in the thinking brain. It has, of course, also a conservative side; it recognizes that definite stages of knowledge and society are justified for their time and circumstances; but only so far. The conservatism of this mode of outlook is relative; its revolutionary character is absolute — the only absolute dialectical philosophy admits. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5125
Lenin: But despite all its mistakes the Commune was a superb example of the great proletarian movement of the nineteenth century. Marx set a high value on the historic significance of the Commune—if, during the treacherous attempt by the Versailles gang to seize the arms of the Paris proletariat, the workers had allowed themselves to be disarmed without a fight, the disastrous effect of the demoralisation, that this weakness would have caused in the proletarian movement, would have been far, far greater than the losses suffered by the working class in the battle to defend its arms.(3) The sacrifices of the Commune, heavy as they were, are made up for by its significance for the general struggle of the proletariat: it stirred the socialist movement throughout Europe, it demonstrated the strength of civil war, it dispelled patriotic illusions, and destroyed the naïve belief in any efforts of the bourgeoisie for common national aims. The Commune taught the European proletariat to pose concretely the tasks of the socialist revolution. The lesson learnt by the proletariat will not be forgotten. The working class will make use of it, as it has already done in Russia during the December uprising. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5126
Hardial Bains: Religion (in Albania) has been officially banned as a result of the mass opposition which turned into a tremendous mass movement irresistibly demanding the expropriation of the churches and mosques — institutions used by the foreign invaders and internal reactionaries to exploit and suppress the masses of the people and to enslave the nation. We visited a museum on atheism which depicts the anti-scientific, anti-people and traitorous role of religion in the hands of imperialism, social-imperialism and all reaction. We also visited a sports arena converted from a big church expropriated at the demand of the young people in the latter part of the sixties. This sports arena also contains a gymnasium for young boys and girls who we saw carrying out gymnastic exercises. Religion has become a museum-piece in Albania. The Albanian people have won a great victory on this front as well. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5127
