There is no democracy without socialism, and no socialism without democracy.

The masses are in reality their own leaders, dialectically creating their own development process.

Tomorrow the revolution will 'rise up again, clashing its weapons,' and to your horror it will proclaim with trumpets blazing: I was, I am, I shall be!

Freedom only for the members of the government, only for the members of the Party - though they are quite numerous - is no freedom at all.

Bourgeois class domination is undoubtedly an historical necessity, but, so too, the rising of the working class against it. Capital is an historical necessity, but, so too, its grave digger, the socialist proletariat.

Capitalism, as a result of its own inner contradictions, moves toward a point when it will be unbalanced, when it will simply become impossible.

Only to the rude ear of one who is quite indifferent does the song of a bird seem always the same.
