Huey P. Newton: The revolution has always been in the hands of the young. The young always inherit the revolution. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4367




Sir Josiah Stamp: The modern banking system manufactures money out of nothing. The process is perhaps the most astounding piece of sleight of hand that was ever invented. Banking was conceived in iniquity and born in sin. Bankers own the earth. Take it away from them, but leave them the power to create money and control credit, and with the flick of a pen, they will create enough money to buy it back again. Take this great power away from the bankers and all the great fortunes like mine will disappear, and they ought to disappear, for this would be a better and happier world to live in. But if you want to continue the slaves of bankers and pay the cost of your own slavery, let them continue to create money and to control credit. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4369






Kwame Nkrumah: Revolutions are brought about by men, by men who think as men of action and act as men of thought. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4374


Mumia Abu-Jamal: Do you see law and order? There is nothing but disorder, and instead of law there is the illusion of security. It is an illusion because it is built on a long history of injustices: racism, criminality, and the genocide of millions. Many people say it is insane to resist the system, but actually, it is insane not to. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4375


Albert Einstein: When I was asked about any weapon capable of surpassing the power of the atomic bomb, I suggested the best of all: Peace. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4376






Lenin: Monopolies, oligarchy, the striving for domination and not for freedom, the exploitation of an increasing number of small or weak nations by a handful of the richest or most powerful nations - all these have given birth to those distinctive characteristics of imperialism which compel us to define it as parasitic or decaying capitalism. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4380


Lenin: Democracy for an insignificant minority, democracy for the rich - that is the democracy of capitalist society. If we look more closely into the machinery of capitalist democracy, we see everywhere, in the "petty" - supposedly petty - details of the suffrage (residential qualifications, exclusion of women, etc.), in the technique of the representative institutions, in the actual obstacles to the right of assembly (public buildings are not for "paupers"!), in the purely capitalist organization of the daily press, etc., etc., - we see restriction after restriction upon democracy. These restrictions, exceptions, exclusions, obstacles for the poor seem slight, especially in the eyes of one who has never known want himself and has never been in close contact with the oppressed classes in their mass life (and nine out of 10, if not 99 out of 100, bourgeois publicists and politicians come under this category); but in their sum total these restrictions exclude and squeeze out the poor from politics, from active participation in democracy. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4381


Lenin: The oppressed are allowed once every few years to decide which particular representatives of the oppressing class shall represent and repress them in parliament. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4382


Lenin: And so in capitalist society we have a democracy that is curtailed, wretched, false, a democracy only for the rich, for the minority. The dictatorship of the proletariat, the period of transition to communism, will for the first time create democracy for the people, for the majority, along with the necessary suppression of the exploiters, of the minority. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4383


Lenin: Bourgeois democracy is democracy of pompous phrases, solemn words, exuberant promises and the high-sounding slogans of freedom and equality. But, in fact, it screens the non-freedom and inferiority of women, the non-freedom and inferiority of the toilers and exploited. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4384



Lenin: Modern monopolist capitalism on a world-wide scale - imperialist wars are absolutely inevitable under such an economic system, as long as private property in the means of production exists. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4385


Lenin: Experience has proved that, on certain very important questions of the proletarian revolution, all countries will inevitably have to do what Russia has done. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4386


Alexis de Tocqueville: When I refuse to obey an unjust law, I do not contest the right of the majority to command, but I simply appeal from the sovereignty of the people to the sovereignty of mankind. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4387


Thomas Jefferson: If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be... The People cannot be safe without information. When the press is free, and every man is able to read, all is safe. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4388



Thomas Jefferson: Who will govern the governors? There is only one force in the nation that can be depended upon to keep the government pure and the governors honest, and that is the people themselves. They alone, if well informed, are capable of preventing the corruption of power, and of restoring the nation to its rightful course if it should go astray. They alone are the safest depository of the ultimate powers of government. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4390


Voltaire: So long as the people do not care to exercise their freedom, those who wish to tyrannize will do so; for tyrants are active and ardent, and will devote themselves in the name of any number of gods, religious and otherwise, to put shackles upon sleeping men. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4391


Daniel Webster: Of all the contrivances for cheating the laboring classes of mankind, none has been more effective than that which deludes them with paper money. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4392



Albert Einstein: The World is not dangerous because of those who do harm but because of those who look at it without doing anything. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4393



Thomas Jefferson: Educate and inform the whole mass of the people... They are the only sure reliance for the preservation of our liberty. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4395




General Douglas MacArthur: One cannot wage war under present conditions without the support of public opinion, which is tremendously molded by the press and other forms of propaganda. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4398


Harry Truman: When even one American -- who has done nothing wrong -- is forced by fear to shut his mind and close his mouth, then all Americans are in peril. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4399


Abraham Lincoln: We the People are the rightful masters of both congress and the courts -- not to overthrow the Constitution, but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4400
