Lenin: The socialist revolution is not a single act, it is not one battle on one front, but a whole epoch of acute class conflicts, a long series of battles on all fronts, i.e., on all questions of economics and politics, battles that can only end in the expropriation of the bourgeoisie. It would be a radical mistake to think that the struggle for democracy was capable of diverting the proletariat from the socialist revolution or of hiding, overshadowing it, etc. On the contrary, in the same way as there can be no victorious socialism that does not practise full democracy, so the proletariat cannot prepare for its victory over the bourgeoisie without an all-round, consistent and revolutionary struggle for democracy. wordsmith.social/protestation/β¦
Elie Wiesel: We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented. wordsmith.social/protestation/β¦
Omali Yeshitela: Itβs not enough to say βpeaceβ. Biden wants βpeaceβ. Netanyahu wants βpeaceβ. But all they want is oppressed people to stop fighting. The want βpeaceβ on the plantation. They want βimperialist peaceβ. wordsmith.social/protestation/β¦
Fidel Castro: This party was born of two essential, fundamental, invaluable factors: the union of all revolutionaries (...) and a scientific doctrine, a political-revolutionary philosophy: Marxism-Leninism. wordsmith.social/protestation/β¦

Noam Chomsky: The general population doesn't know what's happening, and it doesn't even know that it doesn't know. wordsmith.social/protestation/β¦

Erich Honecker: We all had fought against Nazism. Whether in the KPD or the SPD, after liberation from Nazism we had jointly taken the road of antifascist democratic reformation, the road to the German Democratic Republic. wordsmith.social/protestation/β¦
Michael Sherlock: Christianity did not become a major religion by the quality of its truth, but by the quantity of its violence. wordsmith.social/protestation/β¦
Stalin: As far as I know in the CPC there is a thin layer of the proletariat and the nationalist sentiments are very strong and if you will not conduct genuinely Marxist-Leninist class policies and not conduct struggle against bourgeois nationalism, the nationalists will strangle you. Then not only will socialist construction be terminated, China may become a dangerous toy in the hands of American imperialists. In the building of socialism in China I strongly recommend you to fully utilise Leninβs splendid work βThe Immediate Tasks of Soviet Powerβ. This would assure success. wordsmith.social/protestation/β¦
Malcolm X: They accuse us of what they themselves are guilty of. This is what the criminal always does. Theyβll bomb you, then accuse you of bombing yourself. Theyβll crush your skull, then accuse you of attacking him. wordsmith.social/protestation/β¦

Friedrich Reinhold Kreutzwald: There is no life anywhere without struggle; those who want to move forward must fight... There is no doubt that the new and young will win. wordsmith.social/protestation/β¦
Lenin: The liberals cannot advocate a struggle, because they are afraid of it. They respond to the intensification of reaction by whining about a constitution, thus corrupting peopleβs minds, and by intensified opportunism. The methods of the liberals were aptly and graphically hit off by the Trudovik Sedelnikov at a meeting on May 9 in the Panina Palace. When a liberal is abused, he says: Thank God they didnβt beat me. When he is beaten, he thanks God they didnβt kill him. When he is killed, he will thank God that his immortal soul has been delivered from its mortal clay. wordsmith.social/protestation/β¦
Enver Hoxha: The modern revisionists try to justify the approach to and union with the social-democrats under the pretext that "positive trends" are allegedly being observed especially in recent times, among the ranks of social democracy; that they have allegedly expressed themselves in favor of peace, peaceful coexistence, disarmament, that they have positively modified their attitude toward the USSR, that they have expressed themselves in favor of some kind of approach to the communists, that they have expressed some sort of willingness to meet the demands of the working class, to preserve and strengthen democratic institutions, they have stated that they are in favor of socialist transformation of society and so forth. Thus, in order to justify their line of approach to the rightwing leaders of social-democracy, the revisionists try to create the illusion that it is not the revisionist train which is speeding its way to the social-democratic station, but the social-democratic station is coming up to meet the revisionist train! wordsmith.social/protestation/β¦
Aldous Huxley: Cynical realismβit's the intelligent man's best excuse for doing nothing in an intolerable situation. wordsmith.social/protestation/β¦

Xi Jinping: In the days when the Chinese people were poor, weak, and at the mercy of others, all sorts of ideologies and theories were attempted. The capitalist road was tried and found wanting. Reformism, liberalism, social Darwinism, anarchism, pragmatism, populism, syndicalismβthey all were given their moment on the stage. They all failed to solve the problems of Chinaβs future destiny. It is Marxism-Leninism and Mao Zedong Thought that guided the Chinese people out of the darkness of that long night and established a New China. wordsmith.social/protestation/β¦
Anthony V. Clark: How poor people spend the little money they have is always the topic of discussion. Letβs talk about how rich people spend the money poor people create. wordsmith.social/protestation/β¦
Sun Tzu: If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle. wordsmith.social/protestation/β¦
Aristophanes: Men of sense often learn from their enemies. It is from their foes, not their friends, that cities learn the lesson of building high walls and ships of war; and this lesson saves their children, their homes, and their properties. wordsmith.social/protestation/β¦
