“There is no word that admits of more various significations, and has made more varied impressions on the human mind, than that of liberty.鈥� (Montesquieu) In order to exist, liberty and justice in a society, there should be equality in this society before them and together with them. Only then can we speak of humanism. Only socially equal personalities are free. And only free and equal in rights personalities could 鈥渓ove each other like brothers.”

“The so-called 鈥渟ocialism鈥� exceeded the mangiest recommendations of Keynes! Such a regulated state capitalism, such an intervention of the state in the economy like 鈥渟ocialism鈥� does, Keynes had not even dreamed possible! The exceptional assistance of the state for the monopolies and their coalescence in a constitution鈥攕till after the receipt of Keynes! There is no better application of Keynes鈥檚 doctrine than the 鈥渟ocialism鈥� of the twentieth century! Keynesian doctrine is an ideology of 茅tatism, which strangely, was proclaimed as an essence of socialism! Keynes鈥攖he ideologist of the national debt, of the chronic budgetary deficit, and the inflation! His idea is the militarization of the economy, increasing workmen鈥檚 taxes, regulation of incomes through a 鈥渕oderate inflation鈥� in favor of the rich and the 鈥渟olution鈥� of the economic crises by regulation of the money circulation. All that was so well carried and applied in the 鈥渟ocialist鈥� system that Keynes himself would have to wonder and to be proud of his 鈥渃ommunist鈥� disciples! Actually, Keynes, by observing the Soviet Union, had understood well the role of the state and the monopoly of the capital and sincerely recognized, by contrast with Stalin and the others after him, that they were used in a wonderful manner for the confirmation and for the perpetuation of the sovereignty of capitalism but not for its abolition. His 鈥減lanned capitalism鈥� is the same 鈥減lanned socialism鈥� of the twentieth century!”

“In a popular state the inhabitants are divided into certain classes,鈥� Montesquieu affirmed in a Marxian manner a century before Marx! So, the popular state is a fiction; it is transient, fleeting, and for this reason 鈥� imaginable only. In its rigorous scientific sense of a class instrument, it is practically an empty matter sophism, a complete commonplaceness, an offspring of mental weakness. There is no such state! If it is a state, it is not popular! If it is popular, it is not a state yet! The State is a violent institution for social injustice generated by two main classes, which are main ones because they are at enmity鈥� Any people closed in a state, are divided into classes. 鈥淔or indeed any city, however small, is in fact divided into two, one the city of the poor, the other of the rich.鈥�(Plato, The Republic). 聽Not Marx, still Plato said the truth!”

“His family could not understand the attraction to Marxism. It offered nothing and demanded everything, including your soul.”

“Don't give over all of your critical faculties to people in power, no matter how admirable those people may appear to be. Beneath the hero's facade you will find a human being who makes human mistakes. Enormous problems arise when human mistakes are made on the grand scale available to a superhero. And sometimes you run into another problem. It is demonstrable that power structures tend to attract people who want power for the sake of power and that a significant proportion of such people are imbalanced 鈥� in a word, insane.”

“Just like freedom, Truth is not cheap. Yet both are worth more than all the gold in the world. But what is freedom, if there is no truth? And what is truth, if there is no freedom? Both are worth fighting for 鈥� because one without the other would be hell.”

“As is well known, what characterizes both the Fascist and Nazi regimes is that they allowed the existing constitutions (the Albertine Statute and the Weimar Constitution, respectively) to subsist, and according to a paradigm that has been acutely defined as "dual state" - they placed beside the legal constitution a second structure, often not legally formalized, that could exist alongside the other because of the state of exception.”

“The only way we can truly liberate ourselves as a nation, is by maintaining the pressure against corrupt regimes, demanding accountability, restitution, retribution & of-course being smarter than them.

“Tacit collaboration by millions who
bite their lip is even more essential than lip service by thousands of favor seekers. Hence, to stimulate at least passive cooperation, the party strives to give the impression that 鈥渆verybody鈥� is already on its side. (The Rise of Political Correctness)”

“With its sign system, totalitarianism tries to imprint its logic on reality, to permanently link it to the real world. Importantly, the assignment of signs and stigmas is usually the first step in the process of destruction.”

“Here is a tragicomic reality of all the regimes: People work hard to feed their thief politicians, their thief kings and thief queens or their thief presidents! And therefore the tragicomic reality of all the times is this: There can exist no thieves without the support of people!”

“H谩 partidos que, por for莽a num茅rica ou coesiva ou ambas, conforme os sistemas de governo, s茫o quase continuamente detentores do poder -partidos do governo. Outros h谩 que, pelos motivos opostos, est茫o quase continuamente fora do poder - partidos de oposi莽茫o. Os "arranjistas", os que se servem da pol铆tica para lucro pr贸pia, matemial ou moral, convergem naturalmente para os partidos de governo, sem outro princ铆pio que a pr贸pria conveni锚ncia. Os turbulentos, os revoltados-natos, convergem naturalmente para os partidos de oposi莽茫o, sem outro principio que o seu oposicionismo temperamental.
Como, por茅m, os partidos se n茫o formam em torno de conveni锚ncias ou de turbul锚ncias, pois que estas n茫o tem em si mesmo poder coesivo, segue que estes elementos, por sua natureza discordantes, constituem um perigo, pelo menos latente, para o partido em que est茫o. [...]”

“Why had they arrested me?
'Because of a word, perhaps, or a silent grimace,' Razziel Paritus suggested, stroking his beard. 'Or for something your parents were supposed to have done or said. In this country denouncing people is a social duty, a moral imperative, a kind of state religion. It's also possible they arrested you for no reason at all. That your only crime is your innocence.”

“In February 1948, the Communist leader Klement Gottwald stepped out on the balcony of a Baroque palace in Prague to harangue hundreds of thousands of citizens massed in Old Town Square. That was a great turning point in the history of Bohemia. A fate颅ful moment of the kind that occurs only once or twice a millennium.
Gottwald was flanked by his comrades, with Clementis standing close to him. It was snowing and cold, and Gottwald was bareheaded. Bursting with solicitude, Clementis took off his fur hat and set it on Gottwald's head.
The propaganda section made hundreds of thou颅sands of copies of the photograph taken on the balcony where Gottwald, in a fur hat and surrounded by his comrades, spoke to the people. On that balcony the history of Communist Bohemia began. Every child knew that photograph, from seeing it on posters and in schoolbooks and museums.
Four years later, Clementis was charged with trea颅son and hanged. The propaganda section immediately made him vanish from history and, of course, from all photographs. Ever since, Gottwald has been alone on the balcony. Where Clementis stood, there is only the bare palace wall. Nothing remains of Clementis but the fur hat on Gottwald's head.”

“How horrible it is that tyranny can lurk under mundane surfaces until it has the social graces to rear its ugly head. When it finally feels emboldened to reveal itself, it does so not with the clumsiness of a brutish regime, but with unsettling elegance capable of captivating hearts and minds.”
