Stalin: The proletarian struggle is not, however, an uninterrupted advance, an unbroken chain of victories. The proletarian struggle also has its trials, its defeats. The genuine revolutionary is not one who displays courage in the period of a victorious uprising but one who, while fighting well during the victorious advance of the revolution, also displays courage when the revolution is in retreat, when the proletariat suffers defeat who does not lose his head and does not funk when the revolution suffers reverses, when the enemy achieves success; who does not become panic-stricken or give way to despair when the revolution is in a period of retreat. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Joe Biden: And this is a nation that rejects violence as a political tool. We do not encourage violence. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Bertolt Brecht: The law was made for one thing alone, for the exploitation of those who don't understand it, or are prevented by naked misery from obeying it. wordsmith.social/protestation/…

Gramsci: The popular masses who want peace, freedom and bread must, in this period of dark onrush of events, always hold themselves ready to spring up as one man against every danger of new carnage and suffering threatened by the so heroic exploits of fascism. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Mao Zedong: In war there must be sacrifice. Without sacrifices there will be no victory. To sacrifice my son or other people's sons are just the same. There are no parents in the world who do not treasure their children. But please do not feel sad on my behalf, because this is something entirely unpredictable. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Ho Chi Minh: Our resistance will be long and painful, but whatever the sacrifices, however long the struggle, we shall fight to the end, until Vietnam is fully independent and reunified. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Henry George: In a capitalist democracy, the tendency is always to give power to the worst. Honesty & patriotism are a handicap, while dishonesty brings success. The best sink to the bottom, the worst float to the top. The vile are ousted only by the viler. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Julius Caesar: If you must break the law, do it to seize power; in all other cases observe it. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Napoleon Bonaparte: In politics, never retreat, never retract and never admit a mistake. wordsmith.social/protestation/…

Ho Chi Minh: In all countries, the Trotskyists give themselves fine names in order to mask their dirty work and banditry. For example: in Spain they call themselves the United Marxist Workers Party (POUM). Do you know that it's they who constitute the nests of spies in Madrid in Barcelona and in other places in the service of Franco? wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Lenin: It is natural for a liberal to speak of "democracy" in general; but a Marxist will never forget to ask: "for what class?" wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Mikhail Gorbachev: Then Yeltsin broke up the USSR and at that time I was not in the Kremlin, all the newspaper reporters asked me whether I shall cry? I did not cry, because I really managed to destroy Communism in the USSR, and also in all other European Socialist countries. I did not cry, because I knew that I fulfilled my main aim, that was the defeat of communism in Europe. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Napoleon Bonaparte: God is on the side with the best artillery. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Lenin: An ever subtler falsification of Marxism, an ever subtler presentation of anti-materialist doctrines under the guise of Marxism-this is the characteristic feature of modern revisionism in political economy, in questions of tactics and in philosophy generally, both in epistemology and in sociology. wordsmith.social/protestation/…

Lenin: For different nations to live together in peace and freedom or to separate and form different states (if that is more convenient for them), a full democracy, upheld by the working class, is essential. No privileges for any nation or any one language! Not even the slightest degree of oppression or the slightest injustice in respect of a national minority—such are the principles of working-class democracy. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
B.K. Gebert: Communists declare that social-democracy, in its ideology & practice, paves the way for fascism; that it splits the working class, and so weakens the struggle of the proletariat against fascism. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Milan Kundera: The struggle of people against power is the struggle of memory against forgetting. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Andrei Zhdanov: We Bolsheviks do not deny our cultural heritage. On the contrary, we subject to a critical study the cultural heritage of all peoples and all ages in order to draw from it all that can inspire the working people of Soviet society to great achievements. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Kwame Ture: Socialism hasn't gone anywhere. It has been betrayed, yes. But betrayal doesn't mean collapse. Perhaps they get confused because, at least Judas had the dignity after betraying Christianity to hang himself! Gorbachev is still running around the world picking up pieces of silver. wordsmith.social/protestation/…

William Z. Foster: Capitalism will not grow into Socialism. The great masses of toilers must be in a revolutionary mood ... they must smash capitalism. This all means that they must be under the general leadership of the only revolutionary party, the Communist party. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Mikhail Gorbachev: My ambition was to liquidate communism, the dictatorship over all the people. Supporting me and urging me on in this mission was my wife, who was of this opinion long before I was. I knew that I could only do this if I was the leading functionary. In this my wife urged me to climb to the top post. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Mikhail Gorbachev: I decided that I must destroy the whole apparatus of the CPSU and the USSR. Also, I must do this in all of the other socialist countries. My ideal is the path of social democracy. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Mikhail Gorbachev: I found friends that had the same thoughts as I in Yakovlev and Shevernadze, they all deserve to be thanked for the break-up of the USSR and the defeat of Communism. wordsmith.social/protestation/…

Mikhail Gorbachev: I wanted to save the USSR, but only under social democracy rule. This I could not do. Yeltsin wanted power, he did not know anything about democracy or what I intended to do. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
