Pier Paolo Pasolini: I miss the poor and genuine people who fought to abolish that master (Fascism) without turning into him. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5030



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



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: 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



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



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



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




Marilyn Monroe: Hollywood's a place where they'll pay you a thousand dollars for a kiss, and fifty cents for your soul. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5055
