It is more pleasant and useful to go through the "experience of revolution" than to write about it.

“If you tremble with indignation at every injustice then you are a comrade of mine.” Che

No altar, no belief, no holy book, neither the Qur’an nor the Bible nor the others, have ever been able to reconcile the rich and the poor, the exploiter and the exploited. And if Jesus himself had to take the whip to chase them from his temple, it is indeed because that is the only language they hear.” Thomas Sankara

[Zhukov] A modern soldier's greatest fear, it's not death, it's not starvation, it's chafing!

[Khrushchev, interjecting] ...And then he planted the flag in Hitler's bunker or he knocked the bear out with one punch.

[Zhukov] ...It was Goebbels's bunker, not Hitler's!

Not communist per se, but I like this quote which I think is from Lula:

Those in power can kill one, two, or three roses, but they will never be able to stop the coming of spring

Oh and the Chad from that vice documentary:

The kind Vladimir Ilyich would've shot everybody here.

Several lines, but feels particularly relevant these days. From James Baldwin:

The people who are running around throwing people in jail and ruining reputations and screaming about Communists wouldn’t know one if he fell from the ceiling. And wouldn’t care! What they are concerned about is propping up somehow the doctrine of white supremacy, so that they can seem to have given it up, but really still hold the power.

Was he a communist? I thought he was a radlib

He was a based lib at the very least

Sure, I mean radlibs aren't necessarily bad, the rad is short for radical. Nader is a radlib and he's cool af

DemSoc?

You have to be very careful what you mean by socialism. When I use the word I’m not thinking about Lenin for example. I don’t have any European models in mind. Bobby Seale talks of a Yankee Doodle-type socialism. I know what he means when he says that. It is a socialism created from the indigenous need of the people in the place. So that a socialism achieved in America, if and when we do — I think you have to say when we do — will be a socialism very unlike the Chinese socialism or the Cuban socialism. . . . The price of any real socialism here is the eradication of what we call the race problem.

Easy way to remember how to spell "bourgeoisie":

1: type "bourg" because that's the easy part to remember.

2: type a bunch of vowels at random and chuck an "s" in there somewhere.

3: auto-correct should be able to guess it at this point.
