Stalin vs. Trotsky, the baby years
lmao a long time ago I drunkenly summed up state and rev as "the only thing that can stop a bad class with a state is a good class with a state"
I posted this one on Facebook once and it got flagged as misinformation

Technically correct, the worst kind of correct.

all oppressed people have a right to violence - Lizzy Borden
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

"there are no liberators. the people liberate themselves" - che, iirc

“You will be shot” -Lenin
[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!
“There are decades where nothing happens; and there are weeks where decades happen” – Lenin.

The fact that you are free is not your achievement, but rather a failure on our side.
Capitalism more like crapitalism amirite
Every cancer is a homicide, every boss better run and hide - :boots-riley:
If you don't steal from your boss, you're stealing from your family.
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.
a fascist jerked off today, did you?
we may have to start making excuses for the lack of terror
- @wombat
This one gets an audible laugh from me every time
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
Death to America
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.
Socialism with Yankee-Doodle characteristics
The United States is also a one-party state but, with typical American extravagance, they have two of them.

“Go forward knowing that, sooner rather than later, the great avenues will open again where free people will walk to build a better society.” ~ Salvador Allende
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.

“I know that after my death a pile of rubbish will be heaped on my grave, but the wind of history will sooner or later sweep it away without mercy.” -Stalin
“'Where is imperialism?” Look at your plates when you eat. These imported grains of rice, corn, and millet – that is imperialism.”
Thomas Sankara.
God will not forgive us if we fail. - Leonid Brezhnev
