We can't just reserve ourselves to saying phrases like "abolish capitalism." Plenty of people want to abolish capitalism. Neo-Monarchist Theocrats want to abolish capitalism. We need to firmly and clearly state what we want: socialism. #socialism#communism#capitalism#anarchism
Taxing the rich isn't enough. All it does is momentarily redistribute wealth within the existing capitalist system instead of addressing the root causes of inequality and exploitation, which is capitalism. As long as capitalism exists, all of that redistributed wealth will eventually go back to the capitalists. The destruction of capitalism and the establishment of a socialist system is what will bring economic justice. #socialism#communism#capitalism#anarchism
The weapons used by the bourgeoisie to overthrow the feudal system are now aimed at the bourgeoisie itself. All class struggles are political struggles. The movement of the proletariat is an independent movement of the vast majority of people and for the benefit of the vast majority of people. The demise of the bourgeoisie and the victory of the proletariat are equally inevitable. #socialism#communism#capitalism#anarchism
The history of all societies so far is the history of class struggles. The bourgeoisie has played a very revolutionary role in history. The bourgeoisie has created more and greater productive forces in its less than a hundred years of class rule than all previous generations combined. #socialism#communism#capitalism#anarchism
"Marxist-Leninist books should be read frequently. I have read The Communist Manifesto no less than a hundred times. When I encounter a problem, I turn to Marx's The Communist Manifesto, sometimes only one or two paragraphs, sometimes the whole text, and every time I read it, I have new inspiration.[...]Reading Marxist theory is for application. To apply it, you must read it frequently and focus on it." - Mao Zedong #socialism#communism#capitalism#anarchism#marxism
People's ideas, views, and concepts, in a word, people's consciousness, change with the changes in their living conditions, their social relations, and their social existence. Does this require deep thought to understand? #socialism#communism#capitalism#anarchism
Communism does not deprive anyone of the right to appropriate social products. It only deprives anyone of the right to use this appropriation to enslave the labor of others. The workers have no country. They can never be deprived of what they do not have. #socialism#communism#capitalism#anarchism
They (the Communists) have no interests separate from those of the proletariat as a whole. The characteristic of communism is not the abolition of property in general, but the abolition of bourgeois property. The Communists can sum up their theory in one sentence: the abolition of private property. #socialism#communism#capitalism#anarchism
In short, the Communists support everywhere all revolutionary movements against the existing social and political systems. #socialism#communism#capitalism#anarchism
The old bourgeois society, with its classes and class antagonisms, will be replaced by an association in which the free development of each is the condition for the free development of all. Free trade! In the interests of the working class; protective tariffs! In the interests of the working class; solitary confinement! In the interests of the working class. โ These are the only serious and final words of bourgeois socialism. #socialism#communism#capitalism#anarchism
