"We allow justly that the Holocaust has permanently altered the consciousness of our time: Why do we not accord the same epistemological mutation in what imperialism has done, and what Orientalism continues to do?""

""We know 'know' what the master class certainly knew but for so long publicly denied only to be confronted with the truth in its nightmares, its sexual fantasies, and rotting social consciousness: the enslaved were human beings... slavery altered the conditions of their being, but it could not negate their being" (pg 125)."

Mark Twain
“I do not fear death. I had been dead for billions and billions of years before I was born, and had not suffered the slightest inconvenience from it.”
Mark Twain

Ernesto Che Guevara
“We must eliminate all newspapers; we cannot make a revolution with free press. Newspapers are instruments of the oligarchy.”
Che Guevara

Karl Marx
“The less you eat, drink, buy books, go to the theatre or to balls, or to the pub, and the less you think, love, theorize, sing, paint, fence, etc., the more you will be able to save and the greater will become your treasure which neither moth nor rust will corrupt—your capital. The less you are, the less you express your life, the more you have, the greater is your alienated life and the greater is the saving of your alienated being.”
Karl Marx, Economic & Philosophic Manuscripts of 1844

Tite Kubo
“It spins.

The world changes.
It turns. Each time it touches the sun and the moon…
it takes a new shape.

The one thing that does not change…

…is my powerlessness.

It’s turning.

If fate is a millstone…
…then we are the grist.
There is nothing we can do.
So I wish for strength.

If I cannot protect them from the wheel…
…then give me a strong blade…
…and enough strength…

…to shatter fate.”
Tite Kubo, Bleach, Volume 23

Ronald Wright
“John Steinbeck once said that socialism never took root in America because the poor see themselves not as an exploited proletariat but as temporarily embarrassed millionaires.”
Ronald Wright, A Short History of Progress
