Ho Chi Minh: When the war approaches, the Japanese promises materialise. The Trotskyists of Shanghai receive 100,000 dollars each month for their activities in the centre and south of the country. Those of Tientsin and Peking 50,000 each month for their activities in Hoa Bac, in the north, against the 8th army and against patriotic organisations. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote2918
Ho Chi Minh: …the Trotskyist Hoang Phat Hi, amongst other confessions, declared that in the course of the fourth interview with Truong Mo Dao, the latter had given him the following instructions: ‘You must actively study the methods and the system of organisation of the Red Army. After that, you will organise brigades of youth to carry out the tasks of sabotage. Our aim is to provoke disorder within the Red Army and to liquidate its activists’. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote2919
Ho Chi Minh: The Trotskyist Quach Uan Kinh has sworn that Ton Ngia Ha charged him with advancing defeatist propaganda amongst the combatants by demonstrating to them that ‘China cannot win’ for ‘even if we end up driving out the Japanese, the Americans and the English will still be there to oppress us’; that ‘not only can we not win, but our land will be destroyed if we continue the war’; that ‘China is too weak to struggle against Japan, England and America at the same time’. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote2920
Helen Keller: Our democracy is but a name. We vote? What does that mean? It means that we choose between two bodies of real, though not avowed, autocrats. We choose between Tweedledum and Tweedledee.... https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote2921
Lenin: To tell the workers in the handful of rich countries where life is easier, thanks to imperialist pillage, that they must be afraid of “too great” impoverishment, is counter-revolutionary. It is the reverse that they should be told. The labour aristocracy that is afraid of sacrifices, afraid of “too great” impoverishment during the revolutionary struggle, cannot belong to the Party. Otherwise the dictatorship is impossible, especially in West-European countries. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote2928
Lenin: We have never expected any political or social revolutions to come from “convincing” the powers that be, or from educated persons turning to the paths of “virtue”. We have always taught that it is the class struggle, the struggle of the exploited part of the people against the exploiters, that lies at the bottom of political transformations and in the final analysis determines the fate of all such transformations. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote2929
Nikola Tesla: They (Soviet scientists) are free from daily obligations, focused exclusively on science. They don't have to think about who will finance them. When the state is behind you, socialist state, & not a rich man who can change his mind at any moment- that is reliable. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote2931
Bible: As he sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things be, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?” And Jesus answered them, “See that no one leads you astray. For many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and they will lead many astray. And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not alarmed, for this must take place, but the end is not yet. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines and earthquakes in various places. All these are but the beginning of the birth pains. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote2932
Bible: And many false prophets will arise and lead many astray. And because lawlessness will be increased, the love of many will grow cold. But the one who endures to the end will be saved. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote2933
İbrahim Kaypakkaya: In essence, we, the communist revolutionaries, in principle, do not hide our political thoughts and opinions in any way. However, we do not disclose our organizational activities, our friends who work with us in the organization and the individuals and groups who are not in the organization that help us. I've already told you what I need to in terms of my personal responsibility. I have done so for the sake of the Marxist-Leninist thought that I sincerely believe. I never regret the result. For our cause, I tried to anticipate all kinds of results as I have foreseen a struggle for life and was eventually caught. I do not regret it and never will. I will always work hard for the prolatariat no matter what as I believe in the liberation of the working people. I have put aside all of my personal interests and goals for the greater good of our people. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote2937
Lyudmila Pavlichenko: Every German who remains alive will kill women, children and old folks. Dead Germans are harmless. Therefore, if I kill a German, I am saving lives. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote2938
David Ben Gurion: Let us not ignore the truth among ourselves ... politically we are the aggressors and they defend themselves... The country is theirs, because they inhabit it, whereas we want to come here and settle down, and in their view we want to take away from them their country. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote2940
Xi Jinping: Once, they stood as testaments to human brilliance: Baghdad, the epicenter of global intellect; Damascus and Aleppo, the crown jewels on the Silk Road; Tenochtitlan, the grandest metropolis of the Americas; Cusco, sacred core of the Inca; Benin City, Africa's architectural marvel; Kumasi, the golden soul of Ashanti; Malacca, the Emporium of the East; Saigon, the treasure of Indochina. Then, the West arrived, cloaked in the mantle of "civilization". They brought not advancement, but destruction; not partnership, but violence, leaving behind desecrated histories and unhealed wounds. Now, 500 years of imperial chains shatter as we rise. We will stand united. We will not yield. We will fight until we reclaim our dawn! https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote2943
Kim Il Sung: Lenin, great revolutionary leader and genius ,devoted his entire life to the highest revolutionary cause of freedom and liberation for the international working classes and oppressed nations all over the world. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote2946
Tommy Tiernan: The English have a fierce reputation for conquering the world.. invading loads of different countries and then getting upset when those people follow them home. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote2948
Susan Rosenthal: Like a giant casino, capitalism promises much and delivers little. A few strike it rich, re-enforcing the myth that you can do the same. But the game is rigged by the capitalist class. The harder we work, the richer they get, and the sicker we become. As in every con, capitalism must resign the losers to their losses so they do not organise to end the con. Promoting the fiction of personal choice misdirects us to blame ourselves. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote2951
