Salvador Allende: The people must defend themselves, but they must not sacrifice themselves. The people must not let themselves be destroyed or riddled with bullets, but they cannot be humiliated either. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote8982


Salvador Allende: Workers of my country, I have faith in Chile and its destiny. Other men will overcome this dark and bitter moment when treason seeks to prevail. Go forward knowing that, sooner rather than later, the great avenues will open again where free men will walk to build a better society. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote8983


Salvador Allende: Long live Chile! Long live the people! Long live the workers! https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote8984


Salvador Allende: These are my last words, and I am certain that my sacrifice will not be in vain, I am certain that, at the very least, it will be a moral lesson that will punish felony, cowardice, and treason. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote8985



R. Palme Dutt: Only a short time ago the leaders of the Second International were repudiating with indignation the Communist charge against them of "Social Fascism" (i.e., that Social Democracy was assisting the development of Capitalism to Fascism) as a malicious "calumny." To-day it is Vandervelde, Chairman of the Second International, it is Adler, Secretary of the Second International, who are accusing the main section of the Second International, German Social Democracy, of passing over to Fascism. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote8986


Clara Zetkin: One may say without exaggeration that the most central task of our days (nay, perhaps even of our entire epoch) is to defeat social-democracy, the main factor of the international counter revolution. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote8987


Mussolini: Such a conception of life makes Fascism the complete opposite of that doctrine, the base of so-called scientific and Marxian Socialism, the materialist conception of history; according to which the history of human civilization can be explained simply through the conflict of interests among the various social groups and by the change and development in the means and instruments of production. That the changes in the economic field-new discoveries of raw materials, new methods of working them and the inventions of science-have their importance no one can deny; but that these factors are sufficient to explain the history of humanity excluding all others is an absurd delusion. Fascism, now and always, believes in holiness and in heroism; that is to say, in actions influenced by no economic motive, direct or indirect. And if we deny the economic conception of history, according to which men are no more than puppets carried to and fro by the waves of chance, while the real directing forces are quite out of their control, it follows that the existence of an unchangeable and unchanging class-war is also denied-the natural progeny of the economic conception of history. And above all Fascism denies that class-war can be the preponderant force in the transformation of society. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote8988


Mussolini: The foundation of Fascism is the conception of the State, its character, its duty, and its aim. Fascism conceives of the State as an absolute, in comparison with which all individuals or groups are relative, only to be conceived of in their relation to the State. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote8989


John Maynard Keynes: If you owe your bank a hundred pounds, you have a problem. But if you owe a million, it has. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote8990



International Conference of Marxist Leninist Parties and Organisations (CIPOML) https://cipoml.net


John Maynard Keynes: How can I accept the Communist doctrine, which sets up as its bible, above and beyond criticism, an obsolete textbook which I know not only to be scientifically erroneous but without interest or application to the modern world? How can I adopt a creed which, preferring the mud to the fish, exalts the boorish proletariat above the bourgeoisie and the intelligentsia, who with all their faults, are the quality of life and surely carry the seeds of all human achievement? Even if we need a religion, how can we find it in the turbid rubbish of the red bookshop? It is hard for an educated, decent, intelligent son of Western Europe to find his ideals here, unless he has first suffered some strange and horrid process of conversion which has changed all his values. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote8991



Michel Foucault: Penal law was not created by the common people, nor by the peasantry, nor by the proletariat, but entirely by the bourgeoisie as an important tactical weapon in this system of divisions which they wished to introduce. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote8992



Karl Liebknecht: The Russian revolution was to an unprecedented degree the cause of the proletariat of the whole world becoming more revolutionary. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote8993


Andrei Platonov: The working class is my home country, and my future is linked with the proletariat. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote8994


Murray Rothbard: The major reason for Keynes's rejection of communism was simply that he could scarcely identify with the grubby proletariat. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote8995



Salvador Allende: They have strength and will be able to dominate us, but social processes can be arrested neither by crime nor force. History is ours, and people make history. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote8996


Salvador Allende: Given these facts, the only thing left for me is to say to workers: I am not going to resign! https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote8997


Salvador Allende: Placed in a historic transition, I will pay for loyalty to the people with my life. And I say to them that I am certain that the seed which we have planted in the good conscience of thousands and thousands of Chileans will not be shriveled forever. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote8998


Al Capone: I have built my organization upon fear. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote8999




Al Capone: Hell must be a pretty swell spot, because the guys that invented religion have sure been trying hard to keep everybody else out. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote9000


Al Capone: I got nothing against the honest cop on the beat. You just have them transferred someplace where they can't do you any harm. But don't ever talk to me about the honor of police captains or judges. If they couldn't be bought they wouldn't have the job. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote9001


Jordan B. Peterson: As the situation degenerates, people have to be offered stupid amusements, more frequently, for them to ignore what's actually going on. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote9002


Lenin: The overthrow of bourgeois rule can be accomplished only by the proletariat, the particular class whose economic conditions of existence prepare it for this task and provide it with the possibility and the power to perform it. While the bourgeoisie break up and disintegrate the peasantry and all the petty-bourgeois groups, they weld together, unite and organize the proletariat. Only the proletariat — by virtue of the economic role it plays in large-scale production — is capable of being the leader of all the working and exploited people, whom the bourgeoisie exploit, oppress and crush, often not less but more than they do the proletarians, but who are incapable of waging an independent struggle for their emancipation. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote9003


Karl Marx: All the preceding classes that got the upper hand sought to fortify their already acquired status by subjecting society at large to their conditions of appropriation. The proletarians cannot become masters of the productive forces of society, except by abolishing their own previous mode of appropriation, and thereby also every other previous mode of appropriation. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote9004



Lucius Annaeus Seneca: We suffer more often in imagination than in reality. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote9005



Karl Marx: Does it require deep intuition to comprehend that man's ideas, views, and conception, in one word, man's consciousness, changes with every change in the conditions of his material existence, in his social relations and in his social life? https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote9006


Lenin: When the bourgeoisie triumphed, they did not know how to administer; and they made sure of their victory by proclaiming a new constitution and by recruiting, enlisting administrators from their own class and training them, utilising for this purpose administrators of the old class. They began to train their own new administrators, fitting them for the work with the help of the whole machinery of state; they sequestrated the feudal institutions and admitted only the wealthy to the schools; and in this way, in the course of many years and decades, they trained administrators from their own class. Today, in a state which is constructed on the pattern and in the image of the dominant class, we must act as every state has acted. If we do not want to be guilty of sheer utopianism and meaningless phrase-mongering, we must say that we must take into account the experience of the past; that we must safeguard the Constitution won by the revolution, but that for the work of administration, of organising the state, we need people who are versed in the art of administration, who have state and business experience, and that there is nowhere we can turn to for such people except the old class. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote9007



Lenin: Opinions on corporate management are all too frequently imbued with a spirit of sheer ignorance, a spirit of opposition to the specialists. We shall never succeed with such a spirit. In order to succeed we must understand the history of the old bourgeois world in all its profundity; and in order to build communism we must take technology and science and make them available to wider circles. And we can take them only from the bourgeoisie—there is nowhere else to get them from. Prominence must be given to this fundamental question, it must be treated as one of the basic problems of economic development. We have to administer with the help of people belonging to the class we have overthrown; they are imbued with the prejudices of their class and we must re-educate them. At the same time we must recruit our own administrators from our own class. We must use the entire machinery of state to put the schools, adult education, and all practical training at the service of the proletarians, the factory workers and the labouring peasants, under the guidance of the Communists. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote9008


Kim Il Sung: The struggle between the new and the old, between progress and conservatism, between activity and passivity, between collectivism and individualism, and in general between socialism and capitalism- such is the content of our revolutionary struggle. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote9009


Lenin: The non-party principle means indifference to the struggle of parties. But this indifference is not equivalent to neutrality, to abstention from the struggle, for in the class struggle there can be no neutrals; in capitalist society, it is impossible to “abstain” from taking part in the exchange of commodities or labour-power. And exchange inevitably gives rise to economic and then to political struggle. Hence, in practice, indifference to the struggle does not at all mean standing aloof from the struggle, abstaining from it, or being neutral. Indifference is tacit support of the strong, of those who rule. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote9010
