Enver Hoxha: There is nothing unknown about what socialism is, what it represents and what it brings about, how it is achieved and how socialist society is built. A theory and practice of scientific socialism exists. Marx, Engels, Lenin and Stalin teach us this theory. But the basic principles and the universal laws of socialism remain unshakeable and are essential for all countries. wordsmith.social/protestation/…

Quotes

  • Otto Kuusinen: As long as the working class wages only an economic struggle, the bourgeoisie does not see in that any great danger for itself; but when the working class organises politically, i.e., creates a political party which expresses its will as a class, the bourgeoisie begins seriously to fear for its rule. That is why reaction deals its main blows against the political party of the working class. At the same time, trying to undermine the party from within, capitalist propaganda endeavours to persuade the workers that they can do without their own party. One of the manifestations of bourgeois influence on the working class is the anarchist and anarcho-syndicalist denial of the leading role of a political party.
  • Democritus: Not from fear but from a sense of duty refrain from your sins.

Decades of seeing how literally every Western White nation goes down the exact same Path.

Nationalism is ridiculed and attempts are made to make it banned. Non whites are pouring in and taking over. Whites are constantly targeted, raped, murdered, robbed in their own nations while at the same time being brainwashed with white guilt.

So is this a coincidence or is it due to someone coordinating White extinction?

In 1990 around 80% of Germans felt they could express their opinions freely; now it is less than half. The authorities have been accused of trying to silence pro-Palestinian voices on the grounds of antisemitism. More controversially, the hard-right Alternative for Germany party has been branded as “extremist” by intelligence services; many politicians want to see it banned outright. Romania annulled its presidential election in December over concerns that the hard-right candidate had won only with the help of dodgy social media, in breach of electoral laws.

It is not just politicians who are protected from harassment. “Hate-speech” rules also shield minorities—whether gays or Muslims, migrants or the disabled—from others’ opinions. What Americans dismiss as tasteless, European prosecutors sometimes treat as criminal. Most notably, the right to offend religious groups is no longer assured everywhere. Once upon a time Denmark lived with the political consequences of racist agitators burning the Koran (which sparked terrorism threats). Since 2023 it has deemed “improper treatment of a religious text” to be a criminal offence. To liberal critics, that seems a lot like an unwelcome return to once-abolished blasphemy laws.
