Vanguard Quotes

“Life is nothing but changes. Don't resist changes, but be the vanguard of it.”
― Debasish Mridha

“But the subordination must be to the armed vanguard of all the exploited, of all the toilers, i.e., to the proletariat. Measures must be taken at once, overnight, to substitute for the specific methods of "official administration" by state officials the simple functions of "workmen and managers," functions which are already fully within the capacity of the average city dweller and can well be performed for "workmen's wages.”
― Vladimir Lenin, The State and Revolution

“We ourselves, the workers, will organize large-scale production on the basis of what capitalism has already created; we shall rely on our own experience as workers, we shall establish strict, iron discipline supported by the state power of the armed workers, we shall reduce the role of the state officials to that of simply carrying out our instructions as responsible, revocable, moderately paid "managers" (of course, with the aid of technicians of all sorts, types and degrees). This is our proletarian task, this is what we can and must start with in carrying out the proletarian revolution. Such a beginning, on the basis of large-scale production, will of itself lead to the gradual "withering away" of all bureaucracy, to the gradual creation of an order, order without quotation marks, which will be different from wage-slavery, an order in which the functions of control and accounting—becoming more and more simple—will be performed by each in turn, will then become a habit and will finally die out as the special functions of a special stratum of the population.”
― Vladimir Lenin, Essential Works of Lenin: "What Is to Be Done?" and Other Writings

“You can be in the vanguard of those that bring a change to the community and to the nation as a whole.”
― Sunday Adelaja, The Mountain of Ignorance

“La poesía chilena, dijo Bibiano aquella noche, va a cambiar el día que leamos correctamente a Enrique Lihn, no antes.”
― Roberto Bolaño, Distant Star

“La poesía es el vocablo virgen de todo prejuicio; el verbo creado y
creador, la palabra recién nacida. Ella se desarrolla en el alba primera
del mundo. Su precisión no consiste en denominar las cosas, sino en
no alejarse del alba.
Su vocabulario es infinito porque ella no cree en la certeza de
todas sus posibles combinaciones. Y su rol es convertir las
probabilidades en certeza. Su valor está marcado por la distancia que
va de lo que vemos a lo que imaginamos. Para ella no hay pasado ni
futuro.
El poeta crea fuera del mundo que existe el que debiera existir. Yo
tengo derecho a querer ver una flor que anda o un rebaño de ovejas
atravesando el arco iris, ...
...
Las células del poeta están amasadas en el primer dolor y
guardan el ritmo del primer espasmo. En la garganta del poeta el
universo busca su voz, una voz inmortal.
...
Toda Poesía válida tiende al último límite de la imaginación. Y no
sólo de la imaginación, sino del espíritu mismo, porque la poesía no es
otra cosa que el último horizonte, que es, a su vez, la arista en donde
los extremos se tocan, en donde no hay contradicción ni duda. Al
llegar a ese lindero final el encadenamiento habitual de los fenómenos
rompe su lógica, y al otro lado, en donde empiezan las tierras del
poeta, la cadena se rehace en una lógica nueva.
...
Hay en su garganta un incendio inextinguible.
Hay además ese balanceo de mar entre dos estrellas.
Y hay ese Fiat Lux que lleva clavado en su lengua.”
― Vicente Huidobro, Manifestes:

“Il socialismo a favore dei finanzieri fece sorgere un altro agglomerato di sovrani della finanza capaci di rivaleggiare con i cloudalisti - tre aziende statunitensi con poteri superiori a quelli della private equity e di tutti i capitalisti terrestri messi insieme: Black Rock, Vanguard e State Street.
Queste tre aziende, i Big Three come sono conosciuti nei circoli della finanza, di fatto posseggono il capitalismo americano. No, non sto esagerando.”
― Yanis Varoufakis, Tecnofeudalesimo: Cosa ha ucciso il capitalismo
