Karl Marx: Workers of the world you have nothing to lose but your chains nothing to gain but your freedom. Workers of the world unite. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4227





Johann Most: Above all, what socialist, without flushing with shame, maintains he is not a revolutionary? We say: none! https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4231









Lenin: Freedom in capitalist society always remains about the same as it was in ancient Greek republics: Freedom for slave owners. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4238


Nietzsche: Just see these superfluous ones! They steal the works of the inventors and the treasures of the wise. Culture, they call their theft-and everything becometh sickness and trouble unto them! Just see these superfluous ones! Sick are they always; they vomit their bile and call it a newspaper. They devour one another, and cannot even digest themselves. Just see these superfluous ones! Wealth they acquire and become poorer thereby. Power they seek for, and above all, the lever of power, much money-these impotent ones! See them clamber, these nimble apes! They clamber over one another, and thus scuffle into the mud and the abyss. Towards the throne they all strive: it is their madness-as if happiness sat on the throne! Ofttimes sitteth filth on the throne.-and ofttimes also the throne on filth. Madmen they all seem to me, and clambering apes, and too eager. Badly smelleth their idol to me, the cold monster: badly they all smell to me, these idolaters. My brethren, will ye suffocate in the fumes of their maws and appetites! Better break the windows and jump into the open air! Do go out of the way of the bad odour! Withdraw from the idolatry of the superfluous! Do go out of the way of the bad odour! Withdraw from the steam of these human sacrifices! Open still remaineth the earth for great souls. Empty are still many sites for lone ones and twain ones, around which floateth the odour of tranquil seas. Open still remaineth a free life for great souls. Verily, he who possesseth little is so much the less possessed: blessed be moderate poverty! https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4239


Rosa Luxemburg: The masses are the decisive element, they are the rock on which the final victory of the revolution will be built. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4240











Charles Wright Mills: Every revolution has its counterrevolution - that is a sign the revolution is for real. And every revolution must defend itself against this counterrevolution, or the revolution will fail. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4249







Martin Luther King, Jr.: Freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4254


Martin Luther King, Jr.: I refuse to accept the view that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism and war. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4255


Karl Marx: Capitalist production is not merely the production of commodities, it is essentially the production of surplus-value. The labourer produces, not for himself, but for capital. It no longer suffices, therefore, that he should simply produce. He must produce surplus-value. That labourer alone is productive, who produces surplus-value for the capitalist, and thus works for the self-expansion of capital. If we may take an example from outside the sphere of production of material objects, a schoolmaster is a productive labourer when, in addition to belabouring the heads of his scholars, he works like a horse to enrich the school proprietor. That the latter has laid out his capital in a teaching factory, instead of in a sausage factory, does not alter the relation. Hence the notion of a productive labourer implies not merely a relation between work and useful effect, between labourer and product of labour, but also a specific, social relation of production, a relation that has sprung up historically and stamps the labourer as the direct means of creating surplus-value. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4256






George Washington: If the freedom of speech is taken away then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4260
