Karl Marx: Where speculation ends - in real life - there real, positive science begins: the representation of the practical activity, of the practical process of development of men. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5348
Robespierre: I leave to the oppressors of humanity a terrible testament, which I proclaim with the independence befitting one whose career is so nearly ended; it is the awful truth: “Thou shalt die!”. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5349
Robespierre: I am made to combat crime, not to govern it. The time is not here where good men can serve their patrie with impunity; the defenders of liberty will only be outcasts, as long as the horde of rogues is in control. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5350
Robespierre: My life? Oh, my life I abandon without a regret! I have seen the Past; and I foresee the Future. What friend of his country would wish to survive the moment when he could no longer serve it — when he could no longer defend innocence against oppression? https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5351
Russell Brand: The problem is that America is guilty of all those war crimes that the ICC attributes to Russia. And politicians like Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton and Barack Obama, George W. Bush and Tony Blair, although they are trying to present them to us as friendly and welcoming characters, are actually participating in systemic violence, war and corruption, which is exactly what should be evaluate: as a symbol of death and crime. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5353
René Descartes: So blind is the curiosity by which mortals are possessed, that they often conduct their minds along unexplored routes, having no reason to hope for success, but merely being willing to risk the experiment of finding whether the truth they seek lies there. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5355
Enver Hoxha: In this transitional period for the consolidation of their power we see how the Khrushchevites, with great boasting about how they were acting in a “lofty party spirit”, “freed from the fear of Stalin”, and “in truly democratic and Leninist forms”, worked actively to spread the most monstrous slanders which only the bourgeoisie has dared to use against the Soviet Union and Stalin. This whole campaign of slanders supported and tried to prove with allegedly legal documents the slanders which all the capitalists had been making for years against Marxism-Leninism. Everything was used by the Khrushchevites. They searched through the archives, documents and minutes which covered decades of work and from which they extracted isolated ideas and phrases which they quoted to interpret the tactics used in the way that suited them, they even used anectodes about people's private lives, in one word, they used typical Trotskyite methods of work. All this was done in order to attack the correct revolutionary strategy of Stalin, to attack and undermine the Leninist norms, to attack the Marxist-Leninist ideology with pseudo-legal forms and to discredit Stalin and socialism in the Soviet Union and the world. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5364
