Henry Kissinger: I don't see why we need to stand by and watch a country go communist due to the irresponsibility of its people. The issues are much too important for the Chilean voters to be left to decide for themselves. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4642

Henry A. Wallace: The worldwide, agelong struggle between fascism and democracy will not stop when the fighting ends in Germany and Japan. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4650
Henry A. Wallace: The obvious types of American fascists are dealt with on the air and in the press. These demagogues and stooges are fronts for others.

Lenin: On all sides, at every step, one comes across problems which man is quite capable of solving immediately, but capitalism is in the way. It has amassed enormous wealth—and has made men the slaves of this wealth. It has solved the most complicated technical problems—and has blocked the application of technical improvements because of the poverty and ignorance of mil lions of the population, because of the stupid avarice of a handful of millionaires. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4653

Lothar Oppermann: The most well-known leaders of this Reformation were Martin Luther and Thomas Müntzer, The early bourgeois revolution aimed at establishing capitalist production relations in their initial stage. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4655
Henry Stewart: No woman in a burqa (or a hijab or a burkini) has ever done me any harm. But I was sacked (without explanation) by a man in a suit. Men in suits missold me pensions and endowments, costing me thousands of pounds. A man in a suit led us on a disastrous and illegal war. Men in suits led the banks and crashed the world economy. Other men in suits then increased the misery to millions through austerity. If we are to start telling people what to wear, maybe we should ban suits. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4656

Enver Hoxha: Life, facts, the very experience of revisionist treachery show that the class struggle continues, not only after the liquidation of the exploiting classes as such, not only after the victory of socialism, but indeed, for some time, even after the victory of communism on a world scale, as long as the influences of bourgeois ideology continue to exist. Therefore, the complete victory of socialism and communism can be achieved and be guaranteed only when, in addition to other things, there has been achieved the full victory of socialist ideology over bourgeois ideology in every individual country and on a world scale. And, as long as this struggle continues, the existence of the dictatorship of the proletariat is indispensable, as the main weapon of the class struggle of the proletariat for the destruction of all the class enemies and for the building of socialism and communism. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4659
Lenin: The basic forms of social economy are capitalism, petty commodity production, and communism. The basic forces are the bourgeoisie, the petty bourgeoisie (the peasantry in particular) and the proletariat. The economic system of Russia in the era of the dictatorship of the proletariat represents the struggle of labour, united on communist principles on the scale of a vast state and making its first steps—the struggle against petty commodity production and against the capitalism which still persists and against that which is newly arising on the basis of petty commodity production. In Russia, labour is united communistically insofar as, first, private ownership of the means of production has been abolished, and, secondly, the proletarian state power is organising large-scale production on state-owned land and in state-owned enterprises on a national scale, is distributing labour-power among the various branches of production and the various enterprises, and is distributing among the working people large quantities of articles of consumption belonging to the state. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4660
Lenin: Theoretically, there can be no doubt that between capitalism and communism there lies a definite tranition period which must combine the features and properties of both these forms of social economy. This transition period has to be a period of struggle between dying capitalism and nascent communism—or, in other words, between capitalism which has been defeated but not destroyed and communism which has been born but is still very feeble. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4661
Lenin: Long ago Engels in his Anti-Dühring explained that the concept “equality” is moulded from the relations of commodity production; equality becomes a prejudice if it is not understood to mean the abolition of classes. This elementary truth regarding the distinction between the bourgeois-democratic and the socialist conception of equality is constantly being forgotten. But if it is not forgotten it becomes obvious that by overthrowing the bourgeoisie the proletariat takes the most decisive step towards the abolition of classes, and that in order to complete the process the proletariat must continue its class struggle, making use of the apparatus of state power and employing various methods of combating, influencing and bringing pressure to bear on the overthrown bourgeoisie and the vacillating petty bourgeoisie. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4662
Lenin: General talk about freedom, equality and democracy is in fact but a blind repetition of concepts shaped by the relations of commodity production. To attempt to solve the concrete problems of the dictatorship of the proletariat by such generalities is tantamount to accepting the theories and principles of the bourgeoisie in their entirety. From the point of view of the proletariat, the question can be put only in the following way: freedom from oppression by which class? equality of which class with which? democracy based on private property, or on a struggle for the abolition of private property?—and so forth. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4663
Lenin: If we compare all the basic forces or classes and their interrelations, as modified by the dictatorship of the proletariat, we shall realise how unutterably nonsensical and theoretically stupid is the common petty-bourgeois idea shared by all representatives of the Second International, that the transition to socialism is possible “by means of democracy” in general. The fundamental source of this error lies in the prejudice inherited from the bourgeoisie that “democracy” is something absolute and above classes. As a matter of fact, democracy itself passes into an entirely new phase under the dictatorship of the proletariat, and the class struggle rises to a higher level, dominating over each and every form. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4664
Lenin: Lastly, the peasants, like the petty bourgeoisie in general, occupy a half-way, intermediate position even under the dictatorship of the proletariat: on the one hand, they are a fairly large (and in backward Russia, a vast) mass of working people, united by the common interest of all working people to emancipate themselves from the landowner and the capitalist; on the other hand, they are disunited small proprietors, property-owners and traders. Such an economic position inevitably causes them to vacillate between the proletariat and the bourgeoisie. In view of the acute form which the struggle between these two classes has assumed, in view of the incredibly severe break up of all social relations, and in view of the great attachment of the peasants and the petty bourgeoisie generally to the old, the routine, and the unchanging, it is only natural that we should inevitably find them swinging from one side to the other, that we should find them wavering, changeable, uncertain, and so on. In relation to this class—or to these social elements—the proletariat must strive to establish its influence over it, to guide it. To give leadership to the vacillating and unstable—such is the task of the proletariat. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4665
Neb Naba Lamoussa Morodenibig: When you have been educated by the same person who made you a slave; when you find yourself worshipping the God of those who have tried and are still trying to destroy you; when you place your health in the hands of the same people who do not believe you have a right to exist as yourself;... it is clear that, as a cultural or civilizational group, you are simply advancing towards your final destruction. All this happens to us only because the colonizer has become the definer of our values. The colonizer has become trainer and initiator of those we are supposed to regard as our leaders and heroes. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4666
James Baldwin: When any white man in the world says, give me liberty or give me death, the entire white world applauds. When a Black man says exactly the same thing, he is judged a criminal and treated like one. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4667
Friedrich Engels: It is absurd to speak of the principle of authority as being absolutely evil, and of the principle of autonomy as being absolutely good. Authority and autonomy are relative things whose spheres vary with the various phases of the development of society. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4668
Friedrich Engels: According to the materialistic conception, the determining factor in history is, in the final instance, the production and reproduction of the immediate essentials of life. This, again, is of a twofold character. On the one side, the production of the means of existence, of articles of food and clothing, dwellings, and of the tools necessary for that production; on the other side, the production of human beings themselves, the propagation of the species. The social organization under which the people of a particular historical epoch and a particular country live is determined by both kinds of production: by the stage of development of labor on the one hand and of the family on the other. The lower the development of labor and the more limited the amount of its products, and consequently, the more limited also the wealth of the society, the more the social order is found to be dominated by kinship groups. However, within this structure of society based on kinship groups the productivity of labor increasingly develops, and with it private property and exchange, differences of wealth, the possibility of utilizing the labor power of others, and hence the basis of class antagonisms: new social elements, which in the course of generations strive to adapt the old social order to the new conditions, until at last their incompatibility brings about a complete upheaval. In the collision of the newly-developed social classes, the old society founded on kinship groups is broken up; in its place appears a new society, with its control centered in the state, the subordinate units of which are no longer kinship associations, but local associations; a society in which the system of the family is completely dominated by the system of property, and in which there now freely develop those class antagonisms and class struggles that have hitherto formed the content of all written history. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4669
Isolate the fifty richest Jews, and all wars will cease. - anonymous https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4670
Henry Ford: We had not been to sea 200 miles before these two Jews began telling me of the power of the Jewish race, how they controlled the world through their control of gold, and that the Jew, and no one but the Jew, could stop the war … They said, and they believed, that the Jews had started the war; that they would continue it as long as they wished. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4671
Hugo Chávez: The U.S. just keeps printing dollars. They've got this money-printing machine running nonstop. It’s a simple scam, really—if you had a machine like that, you could flood the world with worthless paper too. That’s exactly what the U.S. is doing. Fidel once told me, ‘Look how the U.S. is buying up the world with nothing but printed paper’. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4672
Bible: You shall not charge interest on loans to your brother, interest on money, interest on food, interest on anything that is lent for interest. You may charge a foreigner interest, but you may not charge your brother interest, that the Lord your God may bless you in all that you undertake in the land that you are entering to take possession of it. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4673

Karl Marx: Real talers have the same existence that the imagined gods have. Has a real taler any existence except in the imagination, if only in the general or rather common imagination of man?

Al Capone: Capitalists believe they can take everything at the table as belonging to them. Capitalism is the legitimate racket of the ruling class. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4677
Lenin: The socialist revolution may begin in the very near future. In that event the proletariat will be faced with the immediate task of capturing power, of expropriating the banks and of introducing other dictatorial measures. In such a situation, the bourgeoisie, and particularly intellectuals like the Fabians and the Kautskyists, will strive to disrupt and to hinder the revolution, to restrict it to limited democratic aims. While all purely democratic demands may—at a time when the proletarians have already begun to storm the bulwarks of bourgeois power—serve, in a certain sense, as a hindrance to the revolution, nevertheless, the necessity of proclaiming and granting freedom to all oppressed nations (i.e., their right to self-determination) will be as urgent in the socialist revolution as it was urgent for the victory of the bourgeois-democratic revolution, for example, in Germany in 1848, or in Russia in 1905. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4678
