Georgy Zhukov: I often thought about the nature of the Banderites' hatred of the Russians, until I came across the following expression: hatred is a coward's revenge for the fear he experienced! https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote2773
Michael Hudson: America is never going to pay its debts, it doesn't have to. Its debts are in its own currency, we can simply print it. The African debt is not in its currency. Africa has to earn the US dollars. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote2774
Benjamin Franklin: Trade in general being nothing else but the exchange of labour for labour, the value of all things is, as I have said before, most justly measured by labour. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote2775
David Ben Gurion: The strategic objective (of the Jewish forces) was to destroy the urban communities, which were the most organized and politically conscious sections of the Palestinian people. This was not done by house-to-house fighting inside the cities and towns, but by the conquest and destruction of the rural areas surrounding most of the towns. This technique led to the collapse and surrender of Halfa, Jaffa, Tiberias, Sated, Acre, Beit-Shan, Lydda, Ramleh, Majdal, and Beersheba. Deprived of transportation, food, and raw materials, the urban communities underwent a process of disintegration, chaos, and hunger, which forced them to surrender. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote2777

Lenin: Every one of the richest newspapers in the richest countries, which spend tens of millions on their distribution and disseminate bourgeois lies and imperialist policy in tens of millions of copies. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote2780
Lenin: All oppressing classes stand in need of two social functions to safeguard their rule: the function of the hangman and the function of the priest. The hangman is required to quell the protests and the indignation of the oppressed; the priest is required to console the oppressed, to depict to them the prospects of their sufferings and sacrifices being mitigated (this is particularly easy to do without guaranteeing that these prospects will be “achieved”), while preserving class rule, and thereby to reconcile them to class rule, win them away from revolutionary action, undermine their revolutionary spirit and destroy their revolutionary determination. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote2785
