This war is not as in the past: whoever occupies a territory also imposes his own social system.

Each country, if it so desires, will make its own revolution. And if no such desire exists, no revolution will occur.

Have you or haven't you built a good school? Haven't you improved living conditions? Aren't you a bureaucrat? Have you helped to make our labor more effective, our life more cultured? Such will be the criteria with which millions of voters will approach candidates, casting away those who are unfit, striking them off lists, advancing better ones, nominating them for elections.

Real liberty exists only there where exploitation has been annihilated, where no oppression of some peoples by others exists, where there is no unemployment and pauperism, where a person does not tremble because tomorrow he may lose his job, home and bread.

To slacken the tempo...would mean falling behind. And those who fall behind get beaten.

No revolution can be made with silk gloves.

Die, but do not retreat.
