Octave Mirbeau: Sheep go to slaughter. They say nothing, and they hope for nothing. But at least they don't vote for the butcher who will kill them and the bourgeois who will eat them. More stupid than beasts, more sheep-like than sheep, the voter appoints his butcher and chooses his bourgeois. He fought revolutions to win this right. wordsmith.social/protestation/…

Ho Chi Minh: Everyone has good qualities and bad qualities. Each person has both good and evil in his/her heart. But, good and evil are not a natural phenomenon, they are largely the result of education. Therefore, the revolutionary must know how to cause the good in human beings to blossom like flowers in spring time and to gradually reduce and eradicate evil. wordsmith.social/protestation/…

Hitler: In general the art of all truly great national leaders at all times consists among other things primarily in not dividing the attention of a people, but in concentrating it upon a single foe. The more unified the application of a people's will to fight, the greater will be the magnetic attraction of a movement and the mightier will be the impetus of the thrust. It belongs to the genius of a great leader to make even adversaries far removed from one another seem to belong to a single category, because in weak and uncertain characters the knowledge of having different enemies can only too readily lead to the beginning of doubt in their own right. wordsmith.social/protestation/…

Nikola Tesla: Einstein's relativity work is a magnificent mathematical garb which fascinates, dazzles and makes people blind to the underlying errors. The theory is like a beggar clothed in purple whom ignorant people take for a king... its exponents are brilliant men but they are metaphysicists rather than scientists. wordsmith.social/protestation/…

Lenin: Let the corrupt bourgeois press shout to the whole world about every mistake our revolution makes. We are not daunted by our mistakes. People have not become saints because the revolution has begun. The toiling classes who for centuries have been oppressed, downtrodden and forcibly held in the vice of poverty, brutality and ignorance cannot avoid mistakes when making a revolution. And, as I pointed out once before, the corpse of bourgeois society cannot be nailed in a coffin and buried. The corpse of capitalism is decaying and disintegrating in our midst, polluting the air and poisoning our lives, enmeshing that which is new, fresh, young and virile in thousands of threads and bonds of that which is old, moribund and decaying. wordsmith.social/protestation/…

Lenin: The liberal bourgeoisie grant reforms with one hand, and with the other always take them back, reduce them to nought, use them to enslave the workers, to divide them into separate groups and perpetuate wage-slavery. For that reason reformism, even when quite sincere, in practice becomes a weapon by means of which the bourgeoisie corrupt and weaken the workers. The experience of all countries shows that the workers who put their trust in the reformists are always fooled. wordsmith.social/protestation/…

Nikita S. Khrushchev: Our Party will mercilessly crush the band of traitors and betrayers, and wipe out all the Trotskyist-Right dregs.... The guarantee of this is the unshakable leadership of our Central Committee, the unshakable leadership of our leader Comrade Stalin....We shall totally annihilate the enemies — to the last man — and scatter their ashes to the winds. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
