Victor Hugo: Fashions have done more harm than revolutions. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4061
Victor Hugo: Emergencies have always been necessary to progress. It was darkness which produced the lamp. It was fog that produced the compass. It was hunger that drove us to exploration.

Guy Endore: The Reign of Terror guillotined 2,596 in 15 months, while the anti-communards executed 20,000 in one week. Does this show the efficiency of the guillotine vs. modern rifles or the cruelty of upper vs. lower-class mobs? https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4063

Lenin: To seek out, investigate, predict, and grasp that which is nationally specific and nationally distinctive, in the concrete manner in which each country should tackle a single international task: victory over opportunism and Left doctrinairism within the working-class movement; the overthrow of the bourgeoisie; the establishment of a Soviet republic and a proletarian dictatorship-such is the basic task in the historical period that all the advanced countries (and not they alone) are going through. The chief thing-though, of course, far from everything-the chief thing, has already been achieved: the vanguard of the working class has been won over, has ranged itself on the side of Soviet government and against parliamentarianism, on the side of the dictatorship of the proletariat and against bourgeois democracy. All efforts and all attention should now be concentrated on the next step, which may seem-and from a certain viewpoint actually is -less fundamental, but, on the other hand, is actually closer to a practical accomplishment of the task. That step is: the search after forms of the transition or the approach to the proletarian revolution. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4079
Peter Gelderloos: It is not even proper to say the old regimes are “forced out.” Faced with rising disobedience and the threat of real revolution, they choose to hand over power to new regimes that they trust to honor the basic frameworks of capitalism and state. When they do not have the option of a transfer of power, they take off the gloves and attempt to brutalize and dominate the movement, which cannot defend itself and survive without escalating tactics. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4080
Peter Gelderloos: Pacifism assumes a society without race and class hierarchy; without privileged, powerful, and violent elites; without a corporate media controlled by the interests of state and capital, ready to manage the perceptions of the citizenry. Such a society does not exist among any of the industrial, capitalist democracies. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote4081
