Was curious if there were any quotes that we’d like to share.
It’s pretty hard to find anything from Stalin for example that isn’t blatantly made up to demonize him.
One of my favourites is indeed a Stalin quote.
It is difficult for me to imagine what “personal liberty” is enjoyed by an unemployed hungry person. True freedom can only be where there is no exploitation and oppression of one person by another; where there is not unemployment, and where a person is not living in fear of losing his job, his home and his bread. Only in such a society personal and any other freedom can exist for real and not on paper.
Great quote by Irish socialist James Connolly, essentially the difference between socialist republicanism and plain nationalism
“If you remove the English Army tomorrow and hoist the green flag over Dublin Castle., unless you set about the organization of the Socialist Republic your efforts will be in vain. England will still rule you. She would rule you through her capitalists, through her landlords, through her financiers, through the whole array of commercial and individualist institutions she has planted in this country and watered with the tears of our mothers and the blood of our martyrs.
Not favourite but fun and new for me, i read it today in Lenin letters:
“A small fish is better than a big cockroach”
