David Graeber: The 'middle-class' is a faux class. It never really existed. If you have a boss, and earn wages or salary, you are a worker, and should be proud to be in the working class. The term 'middle class' isolates more privileged workers for the benefit of the powerful so that anyone outside of elite circles will be divided and fighting against each other instead of fighting institutions and the power structure. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4552
Henry A.

Otto von Bismarck: Anyone who has ever looked into the glazed eyes of a soldier dying on the battlefield will think hard before starting a war. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4555
Otto von Bismarck: I know many armies that have gone to Russia. But I know none that have ever returned. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4556
Henry A. Wallace: We must not tolerate oppressive government or industrial oligarchy in the form of monopolies and cartels. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4557
Henry A. Wallace: The American fascists are most easily recognized by their deliberate perversion of truth and fact. Their newspapers and propaganda carefully cultivate every fissure of disunity, every crack in the common front against fascism. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4558
Henry A. Wallace: They are patriotic in time of war because it is to their interest to be so, but in time of peace they follow power and the dollar wherever they may lead. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4559

Henry A. Wallace: The symptoms of fascist thinking are colored by environment and adapted to immediate circumstances.

Henry A. Wallace: In an effort to eliminate the possibility of any rival growing up, some monopolists would sacrifice democracy itself. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4563
Henry A. Wallace: The myth of fascist efficiency has deluded many people. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4564

Karl Marx: We call communism the real movement which abolishes the present state of things. The conditions of this movement result from the premises now in existence. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4566
Friedrich Engels: Communism now no longer meant the concoction, by means of the imagination, of an ideal society as perfect as possible, but insight into the nature, the conditions and the consequent general aims of the struggle waged by the proletariat. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4567
Friedrich Engels: The economic facts, which have so far played no role or only a contemptible one in the writing of history, are, at least in the modern world, a decisive historical force; that they form the basis of the origination of the present-day class antagonisms; that these class antagonisms, in the countries where they have become fully developed, thanks to large-scale industry, hence especially in England, are in their turn the basis of the formation of political parties and of party struggles, and thus of all political history. Marx had not only arrived at the same view, but had already, in the Deutsche-Französische Jahrbücher (1844), generalized it to the effect that, speaking generally, it is not the state which conditions and regulates the civil society at all, but civil society which conditions and regulates the state, and, consequently, that policy and its history are to be explained from the economic relations and their development, and not vice versa. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4568
