Albert Einstein: The economic anarchy of capitalist society as it exists today is, in my opinion, the real source of the evil. We see before us a huge community of producers the members of which are unceasingly striving to deprive each other of the fruits of their collective labour...I am convinced there is only one way to eliminate these grave evils, namely through the establishment of a socialist economy, accompanied by an educational system which would be oriented toward social goals. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Epictetus: For it is not death or pain that is to be feared, but the fear of pain or death. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Lenin: Trotsky has never yet held a firm opinion on any important question of Marxism. He always contrives to worm his way into the cracks of any given difference of opinion, and desert one side for the other. At the present moment he is in the company of the Bundists and the liquidators. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Lenin: The theory that the struggle between Bolshevism and Menshevism is a struggle for influence over an immature proletariat is not a new one. We have been encountering it since 1905 in innumerable books, pamphlets, and articles in the liberal press. Martov and Trotsky are putting before the German comrades liberal views with a Marxist coating... wordsmith.social/protestation/…

Ahmed Sékou Touré: When you are praised by the colonist, it means that you are bad for your people. When they say you are bad, it means that you are good for your people. The day they say I'm good, that'll mean I betrayed you. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Lenin: Complete equality of rights for all nations; the right of nations to self-determination; the unity of the workers of all nations—such is the national program that Marxism [teaches] the workers. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Gus Hall: It was necessary to define fascism as the open brutal dictatorship of the most reactionary sections of the top circles of monopoly capital... Only then was it possible to mobilize the broadest movement against fascism. wordsmith.social/protestation/…

Karl Marx: We by no means intend to abolish this personal appropriation of the products of labour, an appropriation that is made for the maintenance and reproduction of human life, and that leaves no surplus wherewith to command the labour of others. All that we want to do away with is the miserable character of this appropriation, under which the labourer lives merely to increase capital, and is allowed to live only in so far as the interest of the ruling class requires it. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
David Ricardo: The farmer and manufacturer can no more live without profit than the labourer without wages. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
David Ricardo: There can be no greater error then in supposing that capital is increased by non-consumption. wordsmith.social/protestation/…

David Ricardo: Possessing utility, commodities derive their exchangeable value from two sources: from their scarcity, and from the quantity of labour required to obtain them. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Friedrich Engels: The workers have taken it into their heads that they, with their busy hands, are the necessary, and the rich capitalists, who do nothing, the surplus population. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Karl Marx: Capitals accumulate faster than population. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Bertolt Brecht: In fascist countries capitalism only survives as Fascism, and Fascism can only be resisted as capitalism, as the most naked, brazen, offensive, and deceitful form of capitalism. wordsmith.social/protestation/…

Kaysone Phomvihane: The aim of the revolutionary struggle is to remove all forms of bourgeois exploitation and parasitism, ... suppress any opposition or attempts to revive the remnants of the reactionary forces, defend our national independence and build socialism. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Georgi Dimitrov: American fascism is trying to direct the disillusionment and discontent of these masses into reactionary fascist channels. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Bashar al-Assad: The war fought today by our people is not only against the terrorists, but also against those who sponsor terrorism. Terrorism is only an instrument used by those Western states which want to apply the same Nazi mentality which aims at dominating everyone else and turning states and nations into slaves, turning them into satellites and controlling everything they have, materially and morally. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Malcolm X: That white person that you see calling himself a liberal is the most dangerous thing in the entire Western Hemisphere. He’s the most deceitful. He’s like a fox and a fox is always more dangerous in the forest than the wolf. You can see the wolf coming. You know what he’s up to, but the fox will fool you. He comes at you with his mouth shaped in such a way that even though you see his teeth you think he’s smiling and take him for a friend. wordsmith.social/protestation/…

General Smedley Butler: I spent 33 years and four months in active military service and during that period I spent most of my time as a high class muscle man for Big Business, for Wall Street and the bankers. In short, I was a racketeer, a gangster for capitalism. wordsmith.social/protestation/…

David Bacon: Society exists to serve the social needs of people, not the productivity needs of capital. Those two needs are in basic conflict - a conflict of class interest. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Philip Agee: But what counter-insurgency really comes down to is the protection of the capitalists back in America, their property and their privileges. US national security, as preached by US leaders, is the security of the capitalist class in the US, not the security of the rest of the people. wordsmith.social/protestation/…

Edward Herman: ... the NSS [National Security State] is an instrument of class warfare, organized and designed to permit an elite, local and multinational, to operate without any constraint from democratic processes.
