Rosa Luxemburg: Without general elections, without freedom of the press, freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, without the free battle of opinions, life in every public institution withers away, becomes a caricature of itself, and bureaucracy rises as the only deciding factor. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5240
Mark Twain: God created war so that Americans would learn geography. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5241
Emir Sader: If a monkey hoarded more bananas than it could eat, while most other monkeys starved to death, scientists would study that monkey to find out what the hell was going on with it. When humans do that, we put them on the cover of Forbes. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5242
Barbara Ehrenreich: Please, no more talk of companies “giving” people jobs. In reality, the gift relationship goes in the opposite direction. Workers give their blood, sweat and tears, sometimes their lives, and in return companies pay them the minimum they can get away with. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5243
Lenin: The idea of building communist society exclusively with the hands of the Communists is childish, absolutely childish. We communists are but a drop in the ocean, a drop in the ocean of the people. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5244

Malala Yousafzai: I am convinced Socialism is the only answer and I urge all comrades to take this struggle to a victorious conclusion. Only this will free us from the chains of bigotry and exploitation. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5245
Lenin: We started this. Exactly when, at what time, the proletarians of which nation will carry this matter to the end is an insignificant question. The essential is that the ice is broken, that the path is open, the road is shown. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5246
Lenin: The proletariat, rallying in the struggle, developing by the struggle its own consciousness, organization and experience, comes ever wider and wider to firm conviction of the need for a complete economic reorganization of capitalist society. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5247
Lenin: Having read with great tremendous interest and unflagging attention John Reed’s book, “The Ten Days That Shook the World,” I sincerely recommend this book to workers of all countries. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5248
Lenin: In the capitalist world, Marx's doctrine arouses the greatest enmity and hatred of all bourgeois science, which considers marxism something like a "pernicious sect." One cannot expect a different attitude, because there cannot be a science that is “impartial" in a society built on class struggle. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5249
Lenin: In one way or another, all bourgeois science defends wage slavery, and marxism declared a merciless war on that slavery. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5250

Lenin: To expect impartial science in a society founded on slavery is as stupidly naive as expecting impartiality from the owners of the means of production that the wages of workers should be increased to the detriment of the profits of capitalists. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5251
Enver Hoxha: The Eurocommunists do not want to see the existence of a major national problem, the question of American domination in Western Europe and the need for liberation from it. From the end of the Second World War to this day, American imperialism has bound this part of Europe with all kinds of political, economic, military, cultural and other chains. Without breaking these chains you cannot have socialism, or even that bourgeois democracy which the Eurocommunists praise to the skies. American capital has penetrated so deeply into Europe, is so closely combined with local capital that where one begins and the other finishes can no longer be distinguished. The European armies have been so completely integrated into NATO, in which the Americans dominate, that in practice they no longer exist as independent national forces. An ever greater integration is developing in the financial and monetary field, in technology, culture. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5252
Bob Marley: You will never find Justice in a world where criminals make the rules. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5253
Frederick Douglass: Experience demonstrates that there may be a wages of slavery only a little less galling and crushing in its effects than chattel slavery, and that this slavery of wages must go down with the other. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5254

Mumia Abu-Jamal: Palestine, its people, its history, its culture, its art, its poetry, its very land, is dismissed as a mere trifle by the U.S. Empire, not dissimilar to the response of the old British Empire, which dispatched the lands, hopes and dreams of the Palestinians, with cold, imperial aplomb. For empire is ever an exercise of global violence, for domination is but utter violation: the very root of violence. It violates the human soul, which yearns for freedom. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5256
Mumia Abu-Jamal: Palestine was relegated to the misery of a warren of Middle Eastern ghettoes for one reason — and one reason only: To allow the erection of a colonial outpost from which Britain (and later the U.S.) could exercise power in a region that held the greatest prize in world history: petroleum. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5257
Mumia Abu-Jamal: Palestine is a minor after thought to the U.S. Empire and its imperialist apologists. Her pain, her sufferings, her gross humiliations don’t bother the empire one whit. Yet, to millions of people, throughout Europe, Africa, Asia and the Americas, their unjust and cruel treatment at the hands of the Zionist finds purchase in hearts worldwide. From their epic losses spring the fruits of solidarity that binds us, human to human; oppressed to oppressed. As the cruelties of imperialism mount, giving rise to anger and distaste, the forces of solidarity grow too, encapsulating the majority of the people of the Earth. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5258
Frantz Fanon: To educate the masses politically does not mean, cannot mean, making a political speech. What it means is to try, relentlessly and passionately, to teach the masses that everything depends on them; that if we stagnate it is their responsibility, and that if we go forward it is due to them too, that there is no such thing as a demiurge, that there is no famous man who will take the responsibility for everything, but that the demiurge is the people themselves and the magic hands are finally only the hands of the people. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5259

Karl Marx: The economic structure of capitalist society has grown out of the economic structure of feudal society. The dissolution of the latter set free the elements of the former. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5260
Kim Il Sung: The collapse of capitalism and the victory of socialism and communism is an inexorable law of human history. The new and the progressive, however small, will win victory sooner or later. This is an objective law and science. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5261
Stalin: Comrade Kim Il Sung is a true proletarian internationalist and leader of the communist movement, who defended our Soviet Union at the cost of his blood... with weapons, against the aggression of the imperialists in the East. Without the struggle of genuine communists like Comrade Kim Il Sung, the Soviet Union would not be able to continue socialist construction in the peaceful environment it is today. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5262
Fidel Castro: Comrade Kim Il Sung is the most experienced and prestigious among leaders around the world. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5263
Che Guevara: I was very moved by Comrade Kim Il Sung, who said that although his country was still experiencing difficulties, he would give active support to the Cuban people. The words of respected Comrade Kim Il Sung captured my heart completely... from this moment on I will keep his words as the saying of my life. And I firmly swear that I will remain true to my saying until the end. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5264
Lenin: The way the enemies of the proletariat take advantage of every deviation from a thoroughly consistent commu- nist line was perhaps most strikingly shown in the case of the Kronstadt mutiny, when the bourgeois counter-revolutionaries and whiteguards in all countries of the world immediately expressed their readiness to accept the slogans of the Soviet system, if only they might thereby secure the overthrow of the dictatorship of the proletariat in Russia, and when the Socialist-Revolutionaries and the bourgeois counter-revolutionaries in general resorted in Kronstadt to slogans calling for an insurrection against the Soviet Government of Russia ostensibly in the interest of the Soviet power. These facts fully prove that the whiteguards strive, and are able, to disguise themselves as Communists, and even as the most Left-wing Communists, solely for the purpose of weakening and destroying the bulwark of the proletarian revolution in Russia. Menshevik leaflets distributed in Petrograd on the eve of the Kronstadt mutiny likewise show how the Mensheviks took advantage of the disagreements and certain rudiments of factionalism in the Russian Communist Party actually in order to egg on and support the Kronstadt mutineers, the Socialist-Revolutionaries and the whiteguards, while claiming to be opponents of mutiny and supporters of the Soviet power, only with supposedly slight modifications. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5265
