Jason Hickel
“All living organisms grow. But in nature there is a self-limiting logic to growth: organisms grow to a point of maturity, and then maintain a state of healthy equilibrium. When growth fails to stop – when cells keep replicating just for the sake of it – it’s because of a coding error, like what happens with cancer. This kind of growth quickly becomes deadly.”
Jason Hickel, Less is More: How Degrowth Will Save the World

John J. Mearsheimer
“As Ben-Gurion told Nahum Goldmann, president of the World Jewish Congress, in 1956, “If I was an Arab leader I would never make terms with Israel. That is natural: we have taken their country. Sure, God promised it to us, but what does that matter to them? Our God is not theirs. We come from Israel, it’s true, but two thousand years ago, and what is that to them? There has been antisemitism, the Nazis, Hitler, Auschwitz, but was that their fault? They only see one thing: we have come here and stolen their country. Why should they accept that?”78”
John J. Mearsheimer, The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy

Vincent Bevins
“Looking at it this way, the major losers of the twentieth century were those who believed too sincerely in the existence of a liberal international order, those who trusted too much in democracy, or too much in what the United States said it supported, rather than what it really supported—what the rich countries said, rather than what they did. That group was annihilated.”
Vincent Bevins, The Jakarta Method: Washington's Anticommunist Crusade and the Mass Murder Program That Shaped Our World

Michael Parenti
“In sum, the myth of a self-reliant, free-market, trickle-down economy is just that, a myth. In almost every enterprise, government provides business with supports, protections, and opportunities for private gain at public expense.”
Michael Parenti, Against Empire

John J. Mearsheimer
“The aim of states is to be the biggest and baddest dude on the block because if you're the biggest and baddest dude on the block, then it is highly unlikely that any other state will challenge you simply because you're so powerful.”
John J. Mearsheimer
