It's better to die upon your feet than to live upon your knees!

---- Emiliano Zapata
I remember a few years ago in my high school yearbook people had that as their Senior quote but when other people read it they thought it was something sexual :mad:.

My favorites have always been:

"Property is theft."
-Not sure who said it.

"Hope lies in the smoldering rubble of Empires"
-Rage Against the Machine lyrics.

Can't think of many more on the spot, I don't pay much attention to mottos.

"The means of production being the collective work of humanity, the product should be the collective property of the race ... All belongs to all. All things are for all men, since all men have need of them, since all men have worked in the measure of their strength to produce them, and since it is not possible to evaluate every one's part in the production of the world's wealth. All things are for all." - Kropotkin

"A revolution is not a dinner party... A revolution is an insurrection, an act of violence by which one class overthrows another." -- Mao Zedong

Probably this, a nice reminder that there is no room for nonviolence or pacifism in class war.

[Invincible Summer]

I'm not a strict Maoist, but Mao had a lot of great things to say.

Some more faves:

"Our war is sacred and just, it is progressive and its aim is peace. The aim is peace not just in one country but throughout the world, not just temporary but perpetual peace. To achieve this aim we must wage a life-and-death struggle, be prepared for any sacrifice, persevere to the end and never stop short of the goal. However great the sacrifice and however long the time needed to attain it, a new world of perpetual peace and brightness already lies clearly before us."

"Let a hundred flowers bloom; let a hundred schools of thought contend."

I'm thinking of getting the latter tattooed

"Free trade: for the benefit of the working class. Protective duties: for the benefit of the working class. Prison Reform: for the benefit of the working class. This is the last word and the only seriously meant word of bourgeois socialism.



It is summed up in the phrase: the bourgeois is a bourgeois — for the benefit of the working class."

[Obrero Rebelde]

These men are all alike. Ya give 'em the finggah, they want the whole ahhhmm!

[Comrade Jack/LeftPolitiko]

Two quotes from Old Gray Beard. Well-known, but inspiring nonetheless:

"Men make their own history, but they do not make it as they please..."

And

"In a higher phase of communist society, after the enslaving subordination of the individual to the division of labor, and with it also the antithesis between mental and physical labor, has vanished, after labor has become not only a livelihood but life's prime want, after the productive forces have increased with the all-round development of the individual, and all the springs of co-operative wealth flow more abundantly--only then can the narrow horizon of bourgeois law be left behind in its entirety and society inscribe on its banners: From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs!"

[LimitedIdeology]

"Our hope can come only from the hopeless" - One of the graffiti sayings written in the May '68 Riots.

[graymouser]

[ContrarianLemming]

typical agressive Mao quote, all his quotes seem to be violent ones like that.

Democracy is to Socialism as is Oxygen to the Human Body. - Leon Trotsky

If you tremble with indignation at every injustice then you are a comrade of mine.
- Ernesto 'Che' Guevara

Women hold up half the sky - Mao Tse-Tung

We will hang the Capitalists with the rope they sell us - Josef Stalin

[ed miliband]

typical agressive Mao quote, all his quotes seem to be violent ones like that.

It's aggressive, yeah, but it seems to me he was basically saying that communism is something else entirely - it's not about charity or eating fair trade, etc. I guess it seems to tie in with how I feel about liberalism. Kind of like Oscar Wilde saying socialism isn't about helping poor people, it's about a system where nobody is poor.

Anyway, Bakunin said some pretty aggressive things too.

[Os Cangaceiros]

"Foward through the shit!" - Nechayev

[ed miliband]

"Wherever capitalism appears, in pursuit of its mission of exploitation, there will Socialism, fertilized by misery, watered by tears, and vitalized by agitation be also found, unfurling its class-struggle banner and proclaiming its mission of emancipation."
- Eugene V. Debs

[#FF0000]

Literally anything Debs said is inspiring as fuck.

[ed miliband]

Wasn't Stalin influenced by Nechayev?

[Ravachol]

"The pacifist abhors war and blesses the state. In times of peace, he has been taught that society is a vast system of communication where all controls itself by means of dialogue, in a nonviolent manner. It follows from this that only one who, living on the periphery of these communicating vessels, mocks the hopeless cornerstone of vain democratic chattering with blows is candidate to suffer brute force." - Killing King Abacus

"We can choose not to act, which is the most beautiful reason for acting. We bear within us the potency of all the acts we arecapable of, and no boss will ever be able to deprive us of thepossibility of saying no. What we are and what we want beginswith a no. From it is born the only reason for getting up in themorning. From it is born the only reason for going armed to theassault of an order that is suffocating us." - At Daggers Drawn

I'm by no means an Insurrectionary Anarchist but boy do they have some niiiiiccee prose :cool:

[Crusade]

“If men as individuals surrender to the call of their elementary instincts, avoiding pain and seeking satisfaction only for their own selves, the result for them all taken together must be a state of insecurity, of fear, and of promiscuous misery.” - Albert Einstein

and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Communist.

THEN THEY CAME for the trade unionists,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist.

THEN THEY CAME for the Jews,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew.

THEN THEY CAME for me
and by that time no one was left to speak up."

- Pastor Martin Niemöller (1892–1984)
