Lenin: In Petrograd, here in Moscow, and in other cities and industrial centres, proletarian women showed up splendidly during the revolution. We would not have won without them, or hardly. That is my opinion. What courage they showed and how courageous they still are! Imagine the suffering and privation they are enduring. But they are holding out because they want to defend the Soviets, because they want freedom and communism. Yes, our working women are magnificent class fighters. They are worthy of admiration and love. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote3194
Antonio Machado: And when the day arrives for the final voyage and the ship of no return is set to sail, you’ll find me aboard, traveling light, almost naked, like the children of the sea. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote3195
Jean-Paul Sartre: Tomorrow, after my death, some men may decide to establish fascism, and others may be so cowardly or so slack as to let them do so. If so, fascism will then be the truth of man, and so much the worse for us. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote3196
John F. Kennedy: Let us not seek the Republican answer or the Democratic answer, but the right answer. Let us not seek to fix the blame for the past. Let us accept our own responsibility for the future. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote3198
John F. Kennedy: Today, we need a nation of Minutemen, citizens who are not only prepared to take arms, but citizens who regard the preservation of freedom as the basic purpose of their daily life and who are willing to consciously work and sacrifice for that freedom. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote3201
Leila Khaled: The Palestinian liberation movement is a progressive national movement against the forces of aggression and imperialism. The link between the interests of imperialism and the continued existence of Israel will make our war against the latter basically a war against imperialism. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote3214
Charles de Gaulle: Stalin had tremendous authority and not only in Russia. He knew how not to panic when he lost and not to enjoy victories. And he has more victories than defeats. Stalin's Russia is not the old Russia that perished with the monarchy. But a Stalinist state without successors worthy of Stalin is doomed. Stalin did not become a thing of the past - he disappeared into the future. And Khrushchev wants to oppose himself literally in everything to Stalin and the Stalinist style. This deliberation is very often to the detriment of Khrushchev and the authority of the USSR. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote3215
Haile Selassie I: My meetings with Soviet leaders after Stalin convince him that there are no worthy successors in the country's leadership. Due to many reasons, the tough but effective system of governing the country, implemented under Stalin, is weakening after him. Becomes more demonstrative than real. And in my opinion, there is no continuity in the managerial, economic and other actions of Soviet leaders after Stalin. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote3216
Mao Zedong: In his last years of his life, fake “comrades-in-arms” did not allow Stalin to nominate young cadres to leading positions. We took into account this tragic lesson, which ended with Stalin's quick “departure” and the rise to power of the revisionists-degenerates. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote3217
Mahatma Gandhi: Remember that all through history, there have been tyrants and murderers, and for a time, they seem invincible. But in the end, they always fall. Always. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote3218
Karl Marx: The worker becomes all the poorer the more wealth he produces, the more his production increases in power and size. The worker becomes an ever cheaper commodity the more commodities he creates. The devaluation of the world of men is in direct proportion to the increasing value of the world of things. Labor produces not only commodities; it produces itself and the worker as a commodity – and this at the same rate at which it produces commodities in general. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote3219
Sherko Bekas: The tide said to the fisherman: There are many reasons why my waves are in a rage. The most important is that I am for the freedom of the fish and against the net. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote3221
Karl Marx: Trade and industry ought to he protected, but the debatable point is precisely whether protective tariffs do in reality protect trade and industry. We regard such a system much more as the organisation of a state of war in time of peace, a state of war which, aimed in the first place against foreign countries, necessarily turns in its implementation against the country which organises it. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote3222
Malcolm X: The problem that exists in Palestine is not a religious problem... It is a question of colonialism. It is a question of a people who are being deprived of their homeland. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote3224
Malcolm X: Zionist logic is the same logic that brought Hitler and the Nazis into power... It is the same logic that says that because my grandfather came from Ireland, I have the right to go back to Ireland and take over the whole country. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote3225
