Sheila Jeffreys
“Sexual intercourse is the only purely reproductive sexual practice and if it is engaged in by women only when they wish to procreate then reproduction is under women's control. Once sexual intercourse is established as compulsory then women have recourse only to artificial contraception, abortion, and infanticide, to control reproduction and childbearing.”
Sheila Jeffreys, Anticlimax: A Feminist Perspective on the Sexual Revolution

Michael Parenti
“Then there were the distorting effects that unremitting capitalist encirclement had upon the building of socialism. Throughout its entire seventy-three-year history of counterrevolutionary invasion, civil war, forced industrialization, Stalinist purges and deportations, Nazi conquest, cold war, and nuclear arms race, the Soviet Union did not know one day of peaceful development.”
Michael Parenti, Blackshirts and Reds: Rational Fascism and the Overthrow of Communism

bell hooks
“I want there to be a place in the world where people can engage in one another’s differences in a way that is redemptive, full of hope and possibility. Not this “In order to love you, I must make you something else”. That’s what domination is all about, that in order to be close to you, I must possess you, remake and recast you.”
bell hooks, Reel to Real: Race, Sex, and Class at the Movies

Michael Parenti
“Instead of thinking that racism is an irrational output of a basically rational and benign system, we should see it is a rational output of a basically irrational and unjust system. By “rational” I mean purposive and functional in sustaining the system that nurtures it.”
Michael Parenti, Blackshirts and Reds: Rational Fascism and the Overthrow of Communism

Michael Parenti
“Decentralized parochial autonomy is the graveyard of insurgency-which may be one reason why there has never been a successful anarcho-syndicalist revolution.”
Michael Parenti, Blackshirts and Reds: Rational Fascism and the Overthrow of Communism
