The political form of a society wherein the proletariat is victorious in overthrowing the bourgeoisie will be a democratic republic.

Hundreds of thousands and millions of wage slaves of capital and peasants downtrodden by the serf-owners are going to the slaughter for the dynastic interests of a handful of crowned brigands, for the profits of the bourgeoisie in its drive to plunder foreign lands.

Capitalism has triumphed all over the world, but this triumph is only the prelude to the triumph of labour over capital.

Face the truth squarely. In politics that is always the best and the only correct attitude.

Human knowledge is not (or does not follow) a straight line, but a curve, which endlessly approximates a series of circles, a spiral. Any fragment, segment, section of this curve can be transformed (transformed one-sidedly) into an independent, complete, straight line, which then (if one does not see the wood for the trees) leads into the quagmire, into clerical obscurantism (where it is anchored by the class interests of the ruling classes).

For the first time the peasant has seen real freedom - freedom to eat his bread, freedom from starvation.

A country of inveterate, backwoods, thick-headed, egotistic philistines
