Ariel Sharon: It is the duty of Israeli leaders to explain to public opinion, clearly and courageously, a certain number of facts that are forgotten with time. The first of these is that there is no Zionism, colonialization, or Jewish State without the eviction of the Arabs and the expropriation of their lands. wordsmith.social/protestation/…

Martin Luther King, Jr.: And one day we must ask the question, 'Why are there forty million poor people in America? And when you begin to ask that question, you are raising questions about the economic system, about a broader distribution of wealth.' When you ask that question, you begin to question the capitalistic economy. And I'm simply saying that more and more, we've got to begin to ask questions about the whole society. wordsmith.social/protestation/…

Sudisman: We live in order to struggle, and we struggle in order to live. We live not just for the sake of life alone; we live to defend that life with courage until our hearts cease to beat. From the moment a human being is born, from the first whimper as a baby to the last breath, life is a struggle. Sometimes s/he will face a struggle that is very difficult, sometimes s/he will face a hard-fought battle. Not every such contest is crowned with victory. But the aim of life is to have the courage to enter this hard-fought battle and at the same time win the victory. This is the dream of everyone who struggles, not excluding the Communists. This too is my dream of life. For without dreams, without ideals, life is barren and empty. “What a wonder of wonders in living is life?” To live in order to struggle, to struggler in order to live, that is my communist ambition. And this ambition cannot possibly be conceived without responsibility. wordsmith.social/protestation/…

Gramsci: For several years we Europeans have lived at the expense of the death of the coloured peoples: unconscious vampires that we are, we have fed off their innocent blood. But today flames of revolt are being fanned throughout the colonial world. This is the class struggle of the coloured peoples against their white exploiters and murderers. It is the vast irresistible drive towards autonomy and independence of a whole world, with all its spiritual riches. Connective tissues are being recreated to weld together once again peoples whom European domination seemed to have sundered once and for all. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
