Charles Erwin Wilson: For years I thought that what was good for our country was good for General Motors, and vice versa. The difference did not exist. Our company is too big. It goes with the welfare of the country. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Gamal Abdel Nasser: Colonization and Zionism combined to dispossess the inhabitants and establish a State founded on religion. How is it possible to accept the status quo when the Arabs were expelled, their property plundered and their women and children murdered?… Peace must be based on justice. The problem will not come to an end until justice is done. The Arabs fought the Crusaders the Arabs have lived in the region for thousands of years. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Gamal Abdel Nasser: The possibilities of the future will be war with Israel. It is we who will dictate the time; it is we who will dictate the place. wordsmith.social/protestation/…

Ghassan Kanafani: Imperialism over the world, has laid its body the head in Eastern Asia, the heart in the Middle East, its arteries reaching Africa and Latin America. Wherever you strike it, you damage it, and you serve the World Revolution. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Gabriel Celaya: I curse the poetry that is conceived as a cultural luxury by those who are neutral that, by washing their hands, they disengage and avoid. I curse the poetry of those who won't take sides until they get dirty. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Mao Zedong: Imperialism is afraid of China and of the Arabs. Israel and Formosa are bases of imperialism in Asia. You are the front gate of the great continent, and we are the rear. They created Israel for you, and Formosa for us. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
George Habash: One day the truth will be clear to all, that there is no peace in the area with the existence of a fascist, racist state based on a reactionary doctrine and with the aim of serving the imperialist interest. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Kim Jong-Il: The tide of human history towards socialism is guided by the working-class party, and the progress of socialist society requires that the working-class party should be developed and strengthened steadily. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Kwame Ture: Zionism is certainly not a liberation movement because it never fought against any imperialism. As a matter of fact, Zionism is the baby child and infant protector of imperialism in the Middle East. wordsmith.social/protestation/…

Michael Parenti: Well before hostilities ceased, the West was preparing to resume the crusade to make Eurasia safe for capitalism. Kim Philby, the British agent who defected to the USSR, reports that between the wars, the greater part of British intelligence’s resources 'devoted to the penetration of the Soviet Union.' When the defeat of the Axis was in sight, British espionage focused once again on 'Bolshevism.' The August 1943 minutes of the combined chiefs of staff, made public in London and Washington in 1970, reveal that ten months before the end of hostilities in Europe, 'military strategists discussed the possibility of repelling the Russians if they suddenly began overrunning Nazi Germany.' Both U.S. chief of staff General George Marshall and British chief of staff Sir Alan Brooke were interested in ascertaining whether Germany would help allied troops enter Europe 'to repel the Russians.'

On the eve of the first atomic test, President Truman’s first thoughts were of the Russians: 'If [the atomic bomb] explodes, as I think it will, I’ll certainly have a hammer on those boys.' According to one visitor, Truman asserted that 'the Russians would soon be put in their places' and that the United States would then 'take the lead in running the world in the way that the world ought to be run.' General Groves, head of the Manhattan Project that developed the bomb, testified: 'There was never—from about two weeks from the time I took charge of the project—any illusion on my part but that Russia was the enemy and that the project was conducted on that basis. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Mariam Sankara: Thomas knew how to show his people that they could become dignified and proud through will power, courage, honesty and work. What remains above all of my husband is his integrity. wordsmith.social/protestation/…

Jomo Kenyatta: When the Missionaries arrived, the Africans had the land and the Missionaries had the Bible. They taught how to pray with our eyes closed. When we opened them, they had the land and we had the Bible. wordsmith.social/protestation/…

Enver Hoxha: Peaceful coexistence between two opposing systems does not imply, as the modern revisionists claim, that we should give up the class struggle. On the contrary, the class struggle must continue; the political and ideological struggle against imperialism, against bourgeois. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Noam Chomsky: Education is not memorizing that Hitler killed six million Jews. Education is understanding how millions of ordinary Germans were convinced that it was required. Education is learning how to spot the signs of history repeating itself. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Simone de Beauvoir: Never forget that it only takes one political, economic or religious crisis for women's rights to be put in jeopardy. Those rights are never to be taken for granted; you must remain vigilant throughout your life. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Malcolm X: The number one weapon of 20th century imperialism is Zionist dollarism, and one of the main bases for this weapon is Zionist Israel. The ever-scheming European imperialists wisely placed Israel where she could geographically divide the Arab world, infiltrate and sow the seed of dissension among African leaders and also divide the Africans against the Asians. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
