James Baldwin: White people were, and are, astounded by the holocaust in Germany. They did not know that they could act that way. But I very much doubt whether black people were astounded – at least, in the same way. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5485

Andrei Zhdanov: Thus, in Italy, as in France, the communists overestimated the strength of reaction, became victims of imperialist intimidation and blackmail, underestimated their own strength, the strength of democracy, the will of the people to protect their fundamental national rights and interests of their country. This is all the more regrettable because both the French and Italian communist parties have shown their ability to rally broad masses of the working class, labouring peasantry and intelligentsia around the communist banner in difficult conditions of work. In view of the fact that the majority of the leaders of the socialist parties (especially the British labourites and the French socialists) are acting as agents of United States imperialist circles, upon the communists devolves the special historical task of leading the resistance to the American plan for the enthralment of Europe, and of boldly denouncing all coadjutors of American imperialism in their own countries. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5487
Sergei Mironovich Kirov: We will die, but the cause of the working class will triumph. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5488
Ludwig von Mises: The worship of the state is the worship of force. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5489
Ludwig von Mises: It is labor alone that is productive: it creates wealth and therewith lays the outward foundations for the inward flowering of man. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5490
Ludwig von Mises: Society has arisen out of the works of peace; the essence of society is peacemaking. Peace and not war is the father of all things. Only economic action has created the wealth around us; labor, not the profession of arms, brings happiness. Peace builds, war destroys. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5491
Maxim Gorky: If the clouds of hatred for (Lenin), the clouds of lies and slander woven round him were even denser it would not matter, for there is no such force as could dim the torch he has raised in the stifling darkness of the world gone mad. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5492

Vladimir Putin: Russia has no unfriendly countries, but unfriendly elites in those countries. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5493
We, the unwilling, led by the unknowing, are doing the impossible for the ungrateful. We have done so much, for so long, with so little, we are now qualified to do anything with nothing. - anonymous https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5494
Friedrich Engels: It is, therefore, the law of division of labour that lies at the basis of the division into classes. But this does not prevent this division into classes from being carried out by means of violence and robbery, trickery and fraud. It does not prevent the ruling class, once having the upper hand, from consolidating its power at the expense of the working class, from turning its social leadership into an exploitation of the masses. But if, upon this showing, division into classes has a certain historical justification, it has this only for a given period, only under given social conditions. It was based upon the insufficiency of production. It will be swept away by the complete development of modern productive forces. And, in fact, the abolition of classes in society presupposes a degree of historical evolution at which the existence, not simply of this or that particular ruling class, but of any ruling class at all, and, therefore, the existence of class distinction itself has become an obsolete anachronism. It presupposes, therefore, the development of production carried out to a degree at which appropriation of the means of production and of the products, and, with this, of political domination, of the monopoly of culture, and of intellectual leadership by a particular class of society, has become not only superfluous but economically, politically, intellectually a hindrance to development. This point is now reached. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5495

The best way to control the opposition is to lead it ourselves. - anonymous https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5499
John Ehrlichman: You want to know what this was really all about. The Nixon campaign in 1968, and the Nixon White House after that, had two enemies: the antiwar left and black people. You understand what I’m saying. We knew we couldn’t make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities. We could arrest their leaders, raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5500
Robespierre: Man is born to be happy and free, and everywhere he is enslaved and unhappy! Society exists for the purpose of conserving his rights and perfecting his being, and everywhere society degrades and oppresses him! The time has come to remind him of his true destiny. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5501
Robespierre: There is one thing more despicable than a tyrant— it is a nation of slaves. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5502

Robespierre: When will the interests of governments be amalgamated with those of the people? Never! https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5504
Robespierre: No one loves armed missionaries; the first lesson of nature and prudence is to repulse them as enemies. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5505
Robespierre: Citizens, did you want a revolution without a revolution? What is this spirit of persecution that has come to revise, so to speak, the one that broke our chains? But what sure judgement can one make of the effects that can follow these great commotions? Who can mark, after the event, the exact point at which the waves of popular insurrection should break? At that price, what people could ever have shaken off the yoke of despotism? For while it is true that a great nation cannot rise in a simultaneous movement, and that tyranny can only be hit by the portion of citizens that is closest to it, how would these ever dare to attack it if, after the victory, delegates from remote parts could hold them responsible for the duration or violence of the political torment that had saved the homeland? They ought to be regarded as justified by tacit proxy for the whole of society. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5506
Robespierre: The policy of the London Cabinet largely contributed to the first movement of our Revolution …Taking advantage of political tempests (the cabinet) aimed to effect in an exhausted and dismembered France a change of dynasty and to place the Duke of York on the throne of Louis XVI. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5507
Robespierre: To defend the oppressed against their oppressors, to plead the cause of the weak against the strong who exploit and crush them, this is the duty of all hearts that have not been spoiled by egoism and corruption. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5508
Robespierre: To be armed for personal defence is the right of every man, to be armed to defend freedom and the existence of the common fatherland is the right of every citizen. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5509

Michael Parenti: It is ironic that people of modest means sometimes become conservative out of a scarcity fear bred by the very capitalist system they support. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5510
