Enver Hoxha: The communists are sincere in their alliances with other social forces. They are resolute fighters for putting into practice the programs of united fronts, but at the same time, they make no secret of their ideals, and once they have accomplished their democratic and national tasks, they are determined not to stop half-way, but to carry the revolution forward to the triumph of socialism and communism. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4088


Lenin: The bourgeoisie in our country has been conquered, but it has not yet been uprooted, not yet destroyed, and not even utterly broken. That is why we are faced with a new and higher form of struggle against the bourgeoisie, the transition from the very simple task of further expropriating the capitalists to the much more complicated and difficult task of creating conditions in which it will be impossible for the bourgeoisie to exist, or for a new bourgeoisie to arise. Clearly. this task is immeasurably more significant than the previous one; and until it is fulfilled there will be no socialism. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4089


Lenin: One should know how to 𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒃𝒊𝒏𝒆 the struggle for democracy and the struggle for the socialist revolution, 𝒔𝒖𝒃𝒐𝒓𝒅𝒊𝒏𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒈 the first to the second. In this lies the whole difficulty; in this is the whole essence. The Tolstoyans and the anarchists throw out the first. Bukharin and Radek have become confused, failing to combine the first with the second. But I say: don’t lose sight of the 𝒎𝒂𝒊𝒏 thing (the socialist revolution); put it first (Junius has not done this); put 𝒂𝒍𝒍 the democratic demands, but subordinating them to it, co-ordinating them with it (Radek + Bukharin unwisely eliminate one of them), and bear in mind that the struggle for the main thing may blaze up even though it has begun with the struggle for something partial. In my opinion, only this conception of the matter is the right one. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4090


Kwame Ture: The job of the slave master is to convince the slave that he is concerned about the interests of the slave more than his own interests. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4091


Fidel Castro: China and Russia, the two countries called to lead a new world that would allow human survival if imperialism does not first unleash a criminal and exterminating war. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4092


Seth MacFarlane: When a child kills an animal for fun, we fear mental illness. When an adult with the capacity to reason does it, we call it 'sport'. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4093








Charles Dickens: It’s always something, to know you’ve done the most you could. But don’t leave off hoping, or it’s of no use doing anything. Hope, hope to the last. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4099


Jonas Salk: Hope lies in dreams, in imagination, and in the courage of those who dare to make dreams into reality. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4100








John Adams: When people talk of the Freedom of Writing, Speaking, or thinking, I cannot choose but laugh. No such thing ever existed. No such thing now exists; but I hope it will exist. But it must be hundreds of years after you and I shall write and speak no more. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4106


C. L. Anderson: This is what hope does to you when you’re not used to it. It is very like being drunk. You don’t realize how badly you’re impaired until you see the results of your spree. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4107








Paul Goodman: Protesting is an act of love. It is born of a deeply held conviction that the world can be a better, kinder place. Saying "no" to injustice is the ultimate declaration of hope. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4113





Wesley Clark: (There) is a memo (at the Pentagon) that describes how we’re going to take out seven countries in five years, starting with Iraq, and then Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and, finishing off, Iran. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4117


Robert Sobukwe: We want to make the African people conscious of the fact that they have to win their own liberation, rely on themselves to carry on a relentless and determined struggle instead of relying on court cases and negotiating on their behalf by "sympathetic" whites. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4118


Malcolm X: The white man will try to satisfy us with symbolic victories rather than economic equity and real justice. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4119


Stalin: The task is to continue the uncompromising struggle on two fronts: against the 'Lefts', who represent petty-bourgeois radicalism, and against the Rights, who represent petty-bourgeois liberalism. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4120



Stalin: The October Revolution is the first revolution in world history to provide the workers and soldiers of the West with a living, salvation-bringing example and to impel them on to the path of real emancipation from the yoke of war and imperialism. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4121


Stalin: The national question must not be regarded as something self-contained and fixed for all time. Being only part of the general question of the transformation of the existing order, the national question is wholly determined by the conditions of the social environment, by the kind of power in the country and by the whole course of social development in general. This is being strikingly borne out in the period of revolution in Russia, when the national question and the national movement in the border regions of Russia are rapidly and obviously changing their character in accordance with the course and outcome of the revolution. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4122


Stalin: A new, socialist revolution was required to lead the country out of the blind alley of imperialist war and economic disintegration. That revolution came as a result of the October uprising. By overthrowing the power of the landlords and the bourgeoisie and replacing it by a government of workers and peasants, the October Revolution resolved the contradictions of the February Revolution at one stroke. The abolition of the omnipotence of the landlords and kulaks and the handing over of the land for the use of the labouring masses of the countryside; the expropriation of the mills and factories and their transfer to control by the workers; the break with imperialism and the ending of the predatory war; the publication of the secret treaties and the exposure of the policy of annexations; lastly, the proclamation of self-determination for the labouring masses of the oppressed peoples and the recognition of the independence of Finland -- such were the basic measures carried into effect by the Soviet power in the early period of the Soviet revolution. That was a genuinely socialist revolution. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4123
