Liu Shaoqi: An immature revolutionary has to go through a long process of revolutionary tempering and self-cultivation, a long process of remoulding, before he can become a mature and seasoned revolutionary who can grasp and skillfully apply the laws of revolution. For in the first place, a comparatively immature revolutionary, born and bred in the old society, carries with him the remnants of the various ideologies of that society (including its prejudices, habits and traditions), and in the second he has not been through a long period of revolutionary activity. Therefore he does not yet have a really thorough understanding of the enemy, of the people or of the laws of social development and revolutionary struggle. In order to change this state of affairs, besides learning from past revolutionary experience (the practice of our predecessors), he must himself participate in contemporary revolutionary practice, and in this revolutionary practice and struggle against all kinds of counter revolutionaries, he must bring his conscious activity into full play and work hard at study and self-cultivation. Only so can he acquire deeper experience and understanding of the laws of social development and revolutionary struggle, acquire a really thorough understanding of the enemy and the people, discover his wrong ideas, habits and prejudices and correct them, and thus raise the level of his political consciousness, cultivate his revolutionary qualities and improve his revolutionary methods. Hence, in order to remould himself and raise his own level, a revolutionary must take part in revolutionary practice from which he must on no account isolate himself. Moreover, he must strive to conduct self-cultivation and study in the course of practice. Otherwise, it will still be impossible for him to make progress. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4696
R. Palme Dutt: The development of a specific Fascist movement is a complicated process, involving a considerable trial and error of rival movements, before the successful technique is found. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4697
Bert Hellinger: The so-called black sheep of the family are, in fact, hunters born of paths of liberation into the family tree. The members of a tree who do not conform to the norms or traditions of the family system, those who since childhood have constantly sought to revolutionise beliefs, going against the paths marked by family traditions, those criticised, judged and even rejected, these are usually called to free the tree of repetitive stories that frustrate entire generations. The black sheep, those who do not adapt, those who cry rebelliously, play a basic role within each family system, they repair, pick up and create new and unfold branches in the family tree. Thanks to these members, our trees renew their roots. Its rebellion is fertile soil, its madness is water that nourishes, its stubbornness is new air, its passion is fire that re-ignites the light of the heart of the ancestors. Uncountable repressed desires, unfulfilled dreams, the frustrated talents of our ancestors are manifested in the rebelliousness of these black sheep seeking fulfilment. The genealogical tree, by inertia will want to continue to maintain the castrating and toxic course of its trunk, which makes the task of our sheep a difficult and conflicting work. However, who would bring new flowers to our tree if it were not for them? Who would create new branches? Without them, the unfulfilled dreams of those who support the tree generations ago would die buried beneath their own roots. Let no one cause you to doubt, take care of your rarity as the most precious flower of your tree. You are the dream of all your ancestors. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4698

Nietzsche: Be careful who you choose as your enemy because that’s who you become most like. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4701
Stalin: In the conditions prevailing today, imperialism prefers to intervene in a dependent country by organizing civil war, financing counter-revolutionary forces against the revolution, by giving moral and financial support to its agents... Intervention through the hands of others - that is where the root of imperialist intervention now lies. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4702

William Z. Foster: The capitalists always go to every possible extreme of violence to crush socialism. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4703
William Z. Foster: The proletarian revolution cannot be crushed by force, even with the assistance of the most tricky Social Fascist and Fascist demagogy. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4704
William Z. Foster: Fascism will not be able to solve the capitalist crisis, and to save the present decaying social system. It cannot liquidate the class struggle; it cannot permanently hold down the workers and poor farmers by force. Faced by constantly worsening conditions and mass starvation, these masses will, under the leadership of the Communist party, eventually break through every system of Fascist terrorism and establish a Soviet regime. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4705
Ibrahim Traoré: May 1 is the symbol of workers' permanent quest for better living conditions while respecting rights and dignity. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4706

Erik Prince: If so many of these countries around the world are incapable of governing themselves, it’s time for us to just put the imperial hat back on, to say, we’re going to govern those countries. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4708
Frantz Fanon: At the decisive moment, the colonialist bourgeoisie, which up till then has remained inactive, comes into the field. It introduces that new idea which is in proper parlance a creation of the colonial situation: non-violence. In its simplest form this non-violence signifies to the intellectual and economic elite of the colonized country that the bourgeoisie has the same interests as they and that it is therefore urgent and indispensable to come to terms for the public good. Non-violence is an attempt to settle the colonial problem around a green baize table, before any regrettable act has been performed or irreparable gesture made, before any blood has been shed. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4709
Lou Harry: Hollywood helps define just about everything in America. And journalism is no exception. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4710
Malcolm X: If the "religious" claim of the Zionists is true that they were to be led to the promised land by their messiah, and Israel's present occupation of Arab Palestine is the fulfillment of that prophesy: where is their messiah whom their prophets said would get the credit for leading them there? It was Ralph Bunche who "negotiated" the Zionists into possession of Occupied Palestine! Is Ralph Bunche the messiah of Zionism? If Ralph Bunche is not their messiah, and their messsiah has not yet come, then what are they doing in Palestine ahead of their messiah? https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4711
Frantz Fanon: The more the people understand, the more watchful they become, and the more they come to realize that finally everything depends on them and their salvation lies in their own cohesion. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4712
Kwame Ture: I've never voted in my life in the Democratic Party, and I'll never vote in the Democratic Party. It's racist and it's capitalist to the core. This is understood. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4713
Kwame Ture: You vote once in four years, and that’s your political responsibility? That’s the height of bourgeois propaganda, making the people politically irresponsible. Thinking their responsibility is limited to a one day vote. Politics is every day. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4714
Dalton Trumbo: Dishonesty in government is the business of every citizen. It is not enough to do your own job. There's no particular virtue in that. Democracy isn't a gift. It's a responsibility. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4715
Dalton Trumbo: Everybody now seems to be talking about democracy. I don't understand this. As I think of it, democracy isn't like a Sunday suit to be brought out and worn only for parades. It's the kind of a life a decent man leads, it's something to live for and to die for. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4716
William Z. Foster: The wide development of Fascism in various forms in the several capitalist countries is not a sign of capitalism growing stronger, but weaker. Fascism arises with the deepening of the capitalist crisis. It is the desperate means by which capitalism in its extremity of crisis vainly tries to save itself. It is significant that Fascism is most developed in exactly those countries that are the weakest links in the capitalist world chain. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4717
