Eugene V. Debs
“While there is a lower class, I am in it, while there is a criminal element, I am of it, and while there is a soul in prison, I am not free.”
Eugene V. Debs

Tomas Schuman
“[T]he useful idiots, the leftists who are idealistically believing in the beauty of the Soviet socialist or Communist or whatever system, when they get disillusioned, they become the worst enemies. That’s why my KGB instructors specifically made the point: never bother with leftists. Forget about these political prostitutes. Aim higher. [...] They serve a purpose only at the stage of destabilization of a nation. For example, your leftists in the United States: all these professors and all these beautiful civil rights defenders. They are instrumental in the process of the subversion only to destabilize a nation. When their job is completed, they are not needed any more. They know too much. Some of them, when they get disillusioned, when they see that Marxist-Leninists come to power—obviously they get offended—they think that they will come to power. That will never happen, of course. They will be lined up against the wall and shot.”
Yuri Bezmenov

A.E. Samaan

A.E. Samaan

Jerome K. Jerome
“In Germany to-day one hears a good deal concerning Socialism, but it is a Socialism that would only be despotism under another name. Individualism makes no appeal to the German voter. He is willing, nay, anxious to be controlled and regulated in all things.

'You get yourself born,' says the German Government to the German citizen, 'we do the rest. Indoors and out of doors, in sickness and in health, in pleasure and in work, we will tell you what to do, and we will see to it that you do it. Don't you worry yourself anything.'

And the German doesn't.

[published in 1900]”
Jerome K. Jerome, Three Men on the Bummel

A.E. Samaan
“Socialism is submission of the masochistic masses to the will of the sadistic elites.”
A.E. Samaan, From a "Race of Masters" to a "Master Race": 1948 to 1848

Clara Zetkin
“When a proletarian then exclaims: “My wife!â€� he will add mentally, “Comrade of my ideals, companion of my battles, mother of my children for future battles.”
Clara Zetkin, Only in Conjunction With the Proletarian Woman Will Socialism Be Victorious

“MCA: Middle Class Activist (The Sonnet)

I don't know the meaning of socialism,
But progress without society is insanity.
I don't know the meaning of capitalism,
But catering to luxury produces disparity.
I don't know the meaning of woke,
But no life is complete without community.
I don't know the meaning of philosophy,
But intellect is useless without amity.
I don't own many fancy gadgets,
Affording essentials I stand without greed.
I'll probably never set foot on MARS,
On earth I'll be serving the abandoned in need.
High and mighty tech won't make this world better,
Till we place humanity at our highest altar.”
Abhijit Naskar, Solo Standing on Guard: Life Before Law

Vera Caspary
“The skeleton in my closet carries a hammer and sickle.”
Vera Caspary

“A woman is a socialist, who brings revolution and change in the family.”
Rashid Jorvee

“I'll say it again-it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of A needle than for a rich person to enter the Kingdom of God!”
Jesus Christ

“Nor does the Anarchistic scheme furnish any code of morals to be imposed upon the individual. "Mind your own business" is its only moral law. Interference with another's business is a crime and the only crime, and as such may properly be resisted. In accordance with this view the Anarchists look upon attempts to arbitrarily suppress vice as in themselves crimes. They believe liberty and the resultant social well-being to be a sure cure for all the vices. But they recognize the right of the drunkard, the gambler, the rake, and the harlot to live their lives until they shall freely choose to abandon them.”
Frank H Brooks, The Individualist Anarchists: Anthology of Liberty, 1881-1908

Nick Martell
“The rebels had no need for stealth, some of them even chanting about useless kings, corrupt nobility, the price of bread, and the need for the commoners to take back what was owed to them. I took their ideals less seriously every time I passed a body in the streets. If they wanted a revolution and a restructuring of power, killing the people who never had power to begin with wasn't the way to do it.”
Nick Martell, The Kingdom of Liars

“Slowly but steadily your rights are being taken away by the hysteria orchestrated in the communist country. China always wanted to force barbarism on the rest of the world. they seemed to have succeeded with coronavirus. This, if allowed will be goodbye to Freedom”
Oluseyi Akinbami

Cinzia Arruzza
“Political crisis is rooted in the institutional structure of capitalist society. This system divides “the politicalâ€� from “the economic,â€� the “legitimate violenceâ€� of the state from the “silent compulsionâ€� of the market. The effect is to declare vast swaths of social life off limits to democratic control and turn them over to direct corporate domination. By virtue of its very structure, therefore, capitalism deprives us of the ability to decide collectively exactly what and how much to produce, on what energic basis, and through what kinds of social relations. It robs us, too, of the capacity to determine how we want to use the social surplus we collectively produce, how we want to relate to nature and to future generations, and how we want to organize the work of social reproduction and its relation to that of production. Capitalism, in sum, is fundamentally antidemocratic.”
Cinzia Arruzza, Feminism for the 99%: A Manifesto

“The idea that objectivity is best reached only through rational thought is a specifically Western and masculine way of thinking--one that we will challenge throughout the book.”
Margaret L. Andersen, Race, Class, & Gender: An Anthology

“Prawda o jej stanowisku w tej sprawie nie pokrywa siÄ™ ze spotykanymi u nas stereotypami. Róża Luksemburg byÅ‚a osobÄ… intymnie przywiÄ…zanÄ… do polskiej kultury. WÅ‚adaÅ‚a biegle kilkoma obcymi jÄ™zykami (rosyjskim, niemieckim i francuskim) i wiÄ™kszość swego życia spÄ™dziÅ‚a w Szwajcarii i w Niemczech, jednakże jÄ™zyk polski byÅ‚ i pozostaÅ‚ jej pierwszym i najbliższym jÄ™zykiem.

“You may be a teacher, you may be a janitor, you may be a waitress, you may be a scientist, preacher or artist –whatever you are, whatever you do, do it for the people â€� so that those who have nothing, can learn to walk again, smile again, live again, because of you.”

“Let us embrace the benefits of capitalism, let us embrace the morality of socialism, let us embrace the good from each and every ideology without being a mindless slave to any of them.”
Abhijit Naskar, Girl Over God: The Novel

Abhijit Naskar
“Society prospers on the shoulders of those who feel one with the society - who feel responsible for society. No responsibility, no society. No oneness, no society.

Some people may label this simple sense of social responsibility, as socialism, some may label it as humanism, and some others may label it as humanitarianism. But you know what I call it - I call it plain, ordinary humanity - a common realization that relies on the definition of no pompous ism whatsoever.

Some say the socialist way is better, others say the capitalist way is better, I say, learn to be a human first, then whatever way you choose, will produce prosperity.

Let us embrace the benefits of capitalism, let us embrace the morality of socialism, let us embrace the good from each and every ideology without being a mindless slave to any of them.

Stethoscopes don’t treat patients, doctors do. Likewise, ideologies don't bring prosperity on their own, humans do - we do, you and I, hand in hand - shoulder to shoulder - living, breathing, acting together - beyond differences, beyond argumentation, beyond our petty squabbles of labels and language.”
Abhijit Naskar, Girl Over God: The Novel

Abhijit Naskar
“If we left everything to the morons of ass-x and buttbook, in a matter of months the world will turn into a cold, disparity-infested loonyland, run by the single-minded and asinine pursuit of dollar, algorithm and self-obsession.”
Abhijit Naskar, Mücadele Muhabbet: Gospel of An Unarmed Soldier

A.E. Samaan
“Socialists and Progressives are infants paying with matches with no concept of what fire truly is.”

“Blue Blood & Blue Collar (The Sonnet)

I have nothing against blue blood,
any more than I'm against blue collar.
But blue blood think honor is an heirloom,
while blue collar earn their rightful honor.

That's what I call true human character,
unreliant on some fictitious identity.
Every human must earn their admittance,
into the civilized realm of humanity.

I can still accept any blood, blue or otherwise,
if they have the decency to acknowledge atrocity.
Otherwise, all blue blood are canine incarnate,
unworthy of acknowledgment of their existentiality.

King and president, ceo and janitor,
all are equal, only behavior merits honor.”
Abhijit Naskar, Brit Actually: Nursery Rhymes of Reparations
