The bourgeoisie...by its imperialist methods of appropriation is destroying the economic structure of the world and human culture generally. Neverthe… - Leon Trotsky

"If the parliamentary regime, even in the period of "peaceful", stable development, was a rather crude method of discovering the opinion of the country, and in the epoch of revolutionary storm completely lost its capacity to follow the course of the struggle and the development of revolutionary consciousness, the Soviet regime, which is more closely, straightly, honestly bound up with the toiling majority of the people, does achieve meaning, not in statically reflecting a majority, but in dynamically creating it."

In a serious struggle there is no worse cruelty than to be magnanimous at an inopportune time.

You are pitiful, isolated individuals! You are bankrupts. Your role is played out. Go where you belong from now on – into the dustbin of history!
