Alessandro Manzoni: Bullies, oppressors and all men who do violence to the rights of others are guilty not only of their own crimes, but also of the corruption they bring into the hearts of their victims. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5627

Walter Rodney: All of the countries named as "underdeveloped" in the world are exploited by others; and the underdevelopment with which the world is now preoccupied is a product of capitalist, imperialist and colonialist exploitation. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5629
Stalin: In our opinion, what has been said needs no proof, for it is self-evident that, so long as the capitalist system exists, with its inevitably attendant poverty and backwardness of the masses, the proletariat as a whole cannot rise to the desired level of class consciousness, and, consequently, there must be a group of class-conscious leaders to enlighten the proletarian army in the spirit of socialism, to unite and lead it in its struggle. It is also clear that a party which has set out to lead the fighting proletariat must not be a chance conglomeration of individuals, but a united centralised organisation, so that its activities can be directed according to a single plan. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5630

Woody Guthrie: War is a game played by maniacs, who kill each other. It is murder, studied and prepared by insane minds, and followed by a bunch of thieves. You can’t believe in life, and wear the uniform of death. There are certain men who never think of any other thing besides slaughter. They are blood soaked butchers and they are believed to be heroes. Three fifths of the people decide to murder the other two fifths, who must take up killing in order to stay alive. Locate the man who profits by war — strip him of his profits and war will end. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5632
Carl Jung: Wherever justice is uncertain and police spying and terror are at work, human beings, fall into isolation, which, of course, is the aim and purpose of the dictator State, since it is based on the greatest possible accumulation of depotentiated social units. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5633
Enver Hoxha: In Europe and throughout the world there are innumerable philosophers and men of letters that have made a myth of the superiority of men over women. For them man is strong, courageous and a fighter, therefore, he is wiser and predestinated to dominate, to direct, whereas woman, on her part, is by nature weak, defenseless, timid, therefore she must be ruled and directed. Bourgeois theoreticians like Nietsche and Freud, uphold also the theory that the male is active while the female is passive. This reactionary, anti-biologic theory leads, in politics, to nazism, in sexology, to sadism. Our mothers, grandmothers and great grandmothers have languished under this harsh bondage, they have borne these corporeal and spiritual pangs on their own sore shoulders. Now when the revolution has triumphed, when socialism is being successfully built in our country, the Party sets forth for us the complete and final liberation of woman from the fetters of the bitter past as a major, as one of the greatest tasks, it sets forth for us the complete emancipation of women. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5634
Stalin: The glorious work of Soviet women, builders of socialist industry, collective farming, socialist culture, will go down in history forever. With every year the role of women in all spheres of life of Soviet society increases. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5635
Stalin: Soviet women are active leaders in Soviet socialist culture, the most advanced in the world. Together with the men, they work untiringly to increase the spiritual wealth of our people. Widely exercising their right to education, women have grown Into a great cultural force of Soviet society. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5636

Enver Hoxha: The Party of Labor of Albania, which has always consistently abided by the Marxist-Leninist line and principles, and has waged and is waging a resolute fight against modern revisionism headed by the Soviet renegade leadership, will mercilessly unmask the present Khrushchevite revisionists, or to be used by them as a camouflage to conceal their revisionist treachery.

Enver Hoxha: Marx and Engels created the proletarian science of the revolution and scientific socialism. They founded the International Workingmen's Association, known as the First International. The fundamental principles of this first international association of workers were formulated in its Constitutional Manifesto, which defined the road of the proletariat for the liquidation of private ownership of the means of production, for the creation of the party of the proletariat to seize state power on the revolutionary road, as well as for the struggle the proletariat had to wage against capitalism and opportunism, which presented itself in different "theoretical" forms in different countries. Vladimir Ilyich Lenin, the brilliant continuer of the work of Karl Marx and Frederick Engels, basing himself on their major works and defending them with rare mastery, waged the struggle against the trends of revisionists, opportunists, and other renegades. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5645
Karl Marx: The surplus value, or that part of the total value of the commodity in which the surplus labour or unpaid labour of the working man is realized, I call profit. The whole of that profit is not pocketed by the employing capitalist. The monopoly of land enables the landlord to take one part of that surplus value, under the name of rent, whether the land is used for agricultural buildings or railways, or for any other productive purpose. On the other hand, the very fact that the possession of the instruments of labour enables the employing capitalist to produce a surplus value, or, what comes to the same, to appropriate to himself a certain amount of unpaid labour, enables the owner of the means of labour, which he lends wholly or partly to the employing capitalist — enables, in one word, the money-lending capitalist to claim for himself under the name of interest another part of that surplus value, so that there remains to the employing capitalist as such only what is called industrial or commercial profit. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5646

Enver Hoxha: The entire Party and country should wake up, throw into the flames and twist the neck of any one who tramples underfoot the sacred law of the Party in defense of the rights of women and girls. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5651
Stalin: Commodity production must not be regarded as something sufficient unto itself, something independent of the surrounding economic conditions. Commodity production is older than capitalist production. It existed in slave-owning society, and served it, but did not lead to capitalism. It existed in feudal society and served it, yet, although it prepared some of the conditions for capitalist production, it did not lead to capitalism. Why then, one asks, cannot commodity production similarly serve our socialist society for a certain period without leading to capitalism, bearing in mind that in our country commodity production is not so boundless and all-embracing as it is under capitalist conditions, being confined within strict bounds thanks to such decisive economic conditions as social ownership of the means of production, the abolition of the system of wage labour, and the elimination of the system of exploitation? It is said that, since the domination of social ownership of the means of production has been established in our country, and the system of wage labour and exploitation has been abolished, commodity production has lost all meaning and should therefore be done away with. That is also untrue. Today there are two basic forms of socialist production in our country: state, or publicly-owned production, and collective-farm production, which cannot be said to be publicly owned. In the state enterprises, the means of production and the product of production are national property. In the collective farm, although the means of production (land, machines) do belong to the state, the product of production is the property of the different collective farms, since the labour, as well as the seed, is their own, while the land, which has been turned over to the collective farms in perpetual tenure, is used by them virtually as their own property, in spite of the fact that they cannot sell, buy, lease or mortgage it. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5652

Fidel Castro: When the Great Patriotic War broke out, Russian citizens defended their country like Spartans; underestimating them was the worst mistake of the United States and Europe. Their closest allies, the Chinese, who like the Russians won their victory on the same principles, are today the most dynamic economic force on earth. Countries want yuan and not dollars to acquire goods and technologies and increase their trade. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5653

Quotes– @protestation@friendica.xid.ch
Edward Bernays: It is not necessary for the politician to be the slave of the public's group prejudices, if he can learn how to mold the mind of the voters in conformity with his own ideas of public welfare and public service. The important thing for the statesman of our age is not so much to know how to please the public, but to know how to sway the public. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5659
Edward Bernays: No serious sociologist any longer believes that the voice of the people expresses any divine or specially wise and lofty idea. The voice of the people expresses the mind of the people, and that mind is made up for it by the group leaders in whom it believes and by those persons who understand the manipulation of public opinion. It is composed of inherited prejudices and symbols and clichés and verbal formulas supplied to them by the leaders. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5660
