Karl Marx: The first decree of the Commune, therefore, was the suppression of the standing army, and the substitution for it of the armed people. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4017
Karl Marx: The Commune was formed of the municipal councillors, chosen by universal suffrage in the various wards of the town, responsible and revocable at any time. The majority of its members were naturally working men, or acknowledged representatives of the working class.... The police, which until then had been the instrument of the Government, was at once stripped of its political attributes, and turned into the responsible, and at all times revocable, agent of the Commune. So were the officials of all other branches of the administration. From the members of the Commune downwards, the public service had to be done at workmen's wages. The privileges and the representation allowances of the high dignitaries of state disappeared along with the high dignitaries themselves.... Having once got rid of the standing army and the police, the instruments of physical force of the old government, the Commune proceeded at once to break the instrument of spiritual suppression, the power of the priests.... The judicial functionaries lost that sham independence... they were thenceforward to be elective, responsible, and revocable. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4018
John Lennon: We live in a world where we have to hide to make love, while violence is practiced in broad daylight. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4019
John Lennon: We must always remember to thank the CIA and the Army for LSD, by the way. Everything is the opposite of what it is, isn't it? They brought out LSD to control people, and what they did was give us freedom. Sometimes it works in mysterious ways its wonders to perform. But it sure as hell performs them. If you look a the government report book on acid, the only ones who jumped out of windows because of it were the ones in the Army. I never knew anybody who jumped out of a window or killed themselves because of it. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4020

John Lennon: Our society is run by insane people for insane objectives. … I think we're being run by maniacs for maniacal ends and I think I'm liable to be put away as insane for expressing that. That's what's insane about it. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4021

Muammar Gaddafi: Sixty-five wars have broken out since the establishment of the United Nations and the Security Council — 65 since their creation, with millions more victims than in the Second World War. Are those wars, and the aggression and force that were used in those 65 wars, in the common interest of us all? No, they were in the interest of one or three or four countries, but not of all nations. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4024
Kim Jong-Un: When all families are harmonious and happy, the whole society can become one family and the socialist system further consolidated. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4025

George R.R. Martin: When you tear out a man's tongue, you are not proving him a liar, you're only telling the world that you fear what he might say. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4029
Jane Addams: True peace is not merely the absence of war, it is the presence of justice. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4030

Denis Diderot: Man will never be free until the last king is strangled with the entrails of the last priest. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4032
Phillip Blond: What is actually happening now is that monoploy capitalism needs the state to disempower ordinary people's institutions and lives. What we are actually developing in modern Europe is a post-democratic society. We are creating an oligarchical elite structure where moneyed elites, the elites of industry cohabit with political elites and they move into each other's regimes and spaces. So we have now produced what I would call a market state, and the market state really just exists for the benefit of those in the top. And there is clear economic and social evidence for this, it is very clear that only those at the very top of society in the developed world have really benefited from the last thirty years. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4033

Victor Hugo: To learn to read is to light a fire; every syllable that is spelled out is a spark. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4039
Victor Hugo: If I speak, I am condemned. If I stay silent, I am damned! https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4040
Victor Hugo: Teach the ignorant as much as you can; society is culpable in not providing a free education for all and it must answer for the night which it produces. If the soul is left in darkness sins will be committed. The guilty one is not he who commits the sin, but he who causes the darkness. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4041
Victor Hugo: You ask me what forces me to speak? a strange thing; my conscience. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4042
