Marcus Tullius Cicero: There is said to be hope for a sick man, as long as there is life. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4112
Paul Goodman: Protesting is an act of love. It is born of a deeply held conviction that the world can be a better, kinder place. Saying "no" to injustice is the ultimate declaration of hope. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4113

Robert Sobukwe: We want to make the African people conscious of the fact that they have to win their own liberation, rely on themselves to carry on a relentless and determined struggle instead of relying on court cases and negotiating on their behalf by "sympathetic" whites. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4118

Stalin: The task is to continue the uncompromising struggle on two fronts: against the 'Lefts', who represent petty-bourgeois radicalism, and against the Rights, who represent petty-bourgeois liberalism. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4120

Stalin: The October Revolution is the first revolution in world history to provide the workers and soldiers of the West with a living, salvation-bringing example and to impel them on to the path of real emancipation from the yoke of war and imperialism. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4121
Stalin: The national question must not be regarded as something self-contained and fixed for all time. Being only part of the general question of the transformation of the existing order, the national question is wholly determined by the conditions of the social environment, by the kind of power in the country and by the whole course of social development in general. This is being strikingly borne out in the period of revolution in Russia, when the national question and the national movement in the border regions of Russia are rapidly and obviously changing their character in accordance with the course and outcome of the revolution. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4122
Stalin: A new, socialist revolution was required to lead the country out of the blind alley of imperialist war and economic disintegration. That revolution came as a result of the October uprising. By overthrowing the power of the landlords and the bourgeoisie and replacing it by a government of workers and peasants, the October Revolution resolved the contradictions of the February Revolution at one stroke. The abolition of the omnipotence of the landlords and kulaks and the handing over of the land for the use of the labouring masses of the countryside; the expropriation of the mills and factories and their transfer to control by the workers; the break with imperialism and the ending of the predatory war; the publication of the secret treaties and the exposure of the policy of annexations; lastly, the proclamation of self-determination for the labouring masses of the oppressed peoples and the recognition of the independence of Finland -- such were the basic measures carried into effect by the Soviet power in the early period of the Soviet revolution. That was a genuinely socialist revolution. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4123
Albert Einstein: Only those who attempt the absurd can achieve the impossible. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4124
George Orwell: Power is in inflicting pain and humiliation. Power is in tearing human minds to pieces and putting them together again in new shapes of your own choosing. Do you begin to see, then, what kind of world we are creating? It is the exact opposite of the stupid hedonistic Utopias that the old reformers imagined. A world of fear and treachery is torment, a world of trampling and being trampled upon, a world which will grow not less but MORE merciless as it refines itself. Progress in our world will be progress towards more pain. The old civilizations claimed that they were founded on love or justice. Ours is founded upon hatred. In our world there will be no emotions except fear, rage, triumph, and self-abasement. Everything else we shall destroy – everything. Already we are breaking down the habits of thought which have survived from before the Revolution. We have cut the links between child and parent, and between man and man, and between man and woman. No one dares trust a wife or a child or a friend any longer. But in the future there will be no wives and no friends. Children will be taken from their mothers at birth, as one takes eggs from a hen. The sex instinct will be eradicated. Procreation will be an annual formality like the renewal of a ration card. We shall abolish the orgasm. Our neurologists are at work upon it now. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4125
Trainspotting: The world is changing, music is changing,drugs are changing, even men and women are changing. One thousand years from now there'll be no guys and no girls, just wankers. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4126
Kim Jong-Un: Abuse of power, bureaucratism and corruption that are revealed in a ruling party are a dangerous poison that may lead it to become a party of aristocrats and bureaucrats. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4127

Stalin: We must not allow ourselves to be reassured by the fact that we have a million members in our Party, two million in the Young Communist League and ten million in the trade unions, and believe that this is all that is required for complete victory over our enemies. That is not true, comrades. History tells us that some of the biggest armies perished because they grew conceited, had too much faith in their own strength, paid too little heed to the strength of their enemies, gave themselves over to somnolence, lost their readiness for action, and at a critical moment were caught unawares. The biggest party may be caught unawares, the biggest party may perish, if it does not learn the lessons of history and does not work day in and day out to forge the readiness for action of its class. To be caught unaware is a most dangerous thing, comrades. To be caught unawares is to fall prey to "surprises," to panic in face of the enemy. And panic leads to break-down, to defeat, to destruction. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4128
Fred Hampton: If you get yourself involved in a revolutionary struggle then you’ve got to be serious. You got to know what you’re doing. You got to already have practiced some type of theory. That’s the reason we ask people to follow the leadership of the vanguard party. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4129
Ahmad Sa'adat: We see corporations profiting from the attacks on our movements & mass imprisonment of our people & U.S., European & Israeli police forces exchanging training with one another to escalate racism,“counter-insurgency” & repression on the streets of our cities, camps and villages. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4130
Andrew Jackson: The bank is trying to kill me, but I will kill it! https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4131
Arthur Conan Doyle: When you have eliminated all which is impossible, then whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4132
Tamara Bunke: There is nothing more beautiful than to be in the middle of a critical situation, where the revolutionary struggle is the most difficult. How many would like to be here in Cuba to participate in defense of the Cuban revolution! I'm lucky enough to be able to do so. This is why I returned to Latin America. If I were interested in living well, surrounded by all the comforts, I would have stayed in Berlin, where I had everything. The Latin American revolution is advancing steadily toward a higher level, and I am fortunate enough to take part of it! ... Patria o muerte! Venceremos! https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4133
Karl Marx: The relations of private property contain latent within them the relation of private property as labour, the relation of private property as capital, and the mutual relation of these two to one another. There is the production of human activity as labour – that is, as an activity quite alien to itself, to man and to nature, and therefore to consciousness and the expression of life – the abstract existence of man as a mere workman who may therefore daily fall from his filled void into the absolute void – into his social, and therefore actual, non-existence. On the other hand, there is the production of the object of human activity as capital – in which all the natural and social characteristic of the object is extinguished; in which private property has lost its natural and social quality (and therefore every political and social illusion, and is not associated with any apparently human relations); in which the selfsame capital remains the same in the most diverse natural and social manifestations, totally indifferent to its real content. This contradiction, driven to the limit, is of necessity the limit, the culmination, and the downfall of the whole private-property relationship. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4134
Gary Webb: The government side of the story is coming through the Los Angeles Times, The New York Times, The Washington Post... They use the giant corporate press rather than saying anything directly. If you work through friendly reporters on major newspapers, it comes off as The New York Times saying it and not a mouthpiece of the CIA. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4135

İbrahim Kaypakkaya: While the imperialist countries export capital to developing countries, building railways, factories, etc. All they care about are the high interest rates, low land prices, low wages, cheap raw materials, and their main purpose is to have unrivaled ownership of all the land and raw materials, to colonize them, and to enslave the working people. This is the main character and purpose of imperialism. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4139
Karl Marx: The same men who establish their social relations in conformity with the material productivity, produce also principles, ideas, and categories, in conformity with their social relations. Thus the ideas, these categories, are as little eternal as the relations they express. They are historical and transitory products. There is a continual movement of growth in productive forces, of destruction in social relations, of formation in ideas; the only immutable thing is the abstraction of movement — mors immortalis. ( From Lucretius's poem On The Nature of Things: "mortalem vitam mars immortalis ademit" ("moral life has been usurped by death the immortal").) https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4140
Karl Marx: The more the antagonistic character comes to light, the more the economists, the scientific representatives of bourgeois production, find themselves in conflict with their own theory; and different schools arise. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4141
Lenin: Socialists must centre their activity on the struggle against reformism, which has always corrupted the revolutionary labour movement by injecting bourgeois ideas. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4142
Lenin: Here we come to the most urgent question of our movement, to its sore point-organisation. The improvement of revolutionary organisation and discipline, the perfection of our underground technique are an absolute necessity. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4143
Peter Gelderloos: Perhaps the largest of the limited, if not hollow, victories of the civil rights movement came when black people demonstrated they would not remain peaceful forever. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4144
Peter Gelderloos: Prevent violence on the part of black nationalist groups. This is of primary importance, and is, of course, a goal of our investigative activity; it should also be a goal of the Counterintelligence Program (in the original government lingo, that phrase refers to a specific operation, of which there were thousands, and not the overarching program). Through counterintelligence it should be possible to pinpoint potential troublemakers and neutralize them before they exercise their potential for violence. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4145
Peter Gelderloos: As part of a disturbingly universal pattern, pacifists white out those other forms of resistance and help propagate the false history that Gandhi and his disciples were the lone masthead and rudder of Indian resistance. Ignored are important militant leaders such as Chandrasekhar Azad, who fought in armed struggle against the British colonizers, and revolutionaries such as Bhagat Singh, who won mass support for bombings and assassinations as part of a struggle to accomplish the ‘overthrow of both foreign and Indian capitalism. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4146
