Communist/Anarchist Slogans

[Victory_Or_Death]

So I was trying to collect a bunch of Communist and Anarchist slogans..


Here are a few of mine...

"The only church that enlightens us is the church that burns"

"Working men of all countries, unite"

"The theory of the Communists may be summed up in the single sentence: Abolition of private property."

"Communism needs democracy like the human body needs oxygen"

"There is no other definition of communism valid for us than that of the abolition of the exploitation of man by man."


... ... ... ... thats about all I can think of off the top of my head...


anything slightly militant-ish and anti establishment is also appreciated

[Forward Union]

"anarchism is order, government is chaos"

"all power to the soviets"

"Everything for everyone, and nothing for ourselves"

"You! Yes, you! Cake or death?"

[Morgan]

Here's a couple, not exactly in the shortest form, but definitely makes people think;

Capitalists see a rich man in a well built house and think to themselves, "Everyman should have so much," However, if everyman did have as much, money would lose it's value and you would be back where you started.

Today we live in a prison, a prison for our mind, that never allows us to think outside the box, as there is a certain authoritarian state of mind that we have.

Money; after one man gets a taste of the "high life" there is only the need, the want, for more and more. However, once this man has earned so much, money becomes valueless, however it hasn't become valueless for the lower classes. Therefore, after a man earns a set amount, there can only be hunger for one thing: power.

Those are just a few that I thought of, I wouldn't exactly take credit for them myself, I just arranged those from certain quotations that I've read of and thought deeply about. Stay strong comrades.

[Cynical Observer]

my personal favorites: If you tremble with indignation at every injustice then you are a comrade of mine.- Che
Mankind will never be free until the last king is strangled with the entrails of the last priest.-denis diderot

[ZeroNowhere]

Wait, where did this come from?
Anyways, Diderot never said that.

[Cynical Observer]

Anyways, Diderot never said that.
my google quote application says that he did, but i wouldn't be surprised if it's wrong. either way it's a great quote.

[ZeroNowhere]

No, that's a misquote. Probably based on this:
And his hands would plait the priest's entrails,
For want of a rope, to strangle kings.

[Cynical Observer]

ah ok, thanks for sorting that out.

There's also the 68 updating: "Humanity won't be happy until the last bureaucrat is hung with the guts of the last capitalist"*.
I like 68 slogans (http://libcom.org/history/slogans-68) generally:


We will claim nothing, we will ask for nothing. We will take, we will occupy.



Live without dead time - enjoy without chains.

In a society that has abolished all adventures, the only adventure left is to abolish society.
The Greek revolt (http://www.occupiedlondon.org/blog/) came out with some really good ones as well, like "The revenge for the death of Alexis has become the revenge for every day we wake up in this world" and "We are here. We are everywhere. We are an image from the future."

From a telegram sent to the Politburo of the Russian Communist Party by the Sorbonne occupiers, which is good enough to be worth quoting in full:

SHAKE IN YOUR SHOES BUREAUCRATS STOP THE INTERNATIONAL POWER OF THE WORKERS COUNCILS WILL SOON WIPE YOU OUT STOP HUMANITY WON’T BE HAPPY TILL THE LAST BUREAUCRAT IS HUNG WITH THE GUTS OF THE LAST CAPITALIST STOP LONG LIVE THE STRUGGLE OF THE KRONSTADT SAILORS AND OF THE MAKHNOVSHCHINA AGAINST TROTSKY AND LENIN STOP LONG LIVE THE 1956 COUNCILIST INSURRECTION OF BUDAPEST STOP DOWN WITH THE STATE STOP LONG LIVE REVOLUTIONARY MARXISM STOP OCCUPATION COMMITTEE OF THE PEOPLE’S FREE SORBONNE

' Tiocfaidh Ár Lá'

[The Ungovernable Farce]

Oh, and Durruti: "We have always lived in slums and holes in the wall. We will know how to accommodate ourselves for a time. For, you must not forget, we can also build. It is we the workers who built these palaces and cities here in Spain and in America and everywhere. We, the workers, can build others to take their place. And better ones! We are not in the least afraid of ruins. We are going to inherit the earth; there is not the slightest doubt about that. The bourgeoisie might blast and ruin its own world before it leaves the stage of history. We carry a new world here, in our hearts. That world is growing this minute."

"In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act."
"It takes less effort to condemn than to think" -Emma Goldman
"Show me the government that does not infringe upon anyone's rights, and I will no longer call myself an anarchist" -Jacob Halbrooks
"Growth for the sake of growth is the ideology of the cancer cell." — Edward Abbey
" The trade union offers itself as a school for the will: its preponderant role is the result of its members' wishes, and, if it is the highest form of association, the reason is that it is the condensation of workers' strengths made effective through their direct action, the sublime form of the deliberate enactment of the wishes of the proletarian class. ."

1) Los barbaros siempre ganan:

2) politics is made out of two words, ´poli´ which is greek (or latin) for ´many´ and ´tics´ which is latin (or greek) for ´leeches´

4) liberation o meurte:

5) the only difference between slavery and wageslavery is the race

6) Just like a whore we are forced to sell our body and labour every hour and every day of our live until nobody want us anymore

7) I want to be rich, rich of knowledge to crush the rich and greedy

8) When I don´t have work I lack the money to do anything I like, When I have work I lack the time to do anything I like.

9) politics is only good for one thing, the degeneration of mankind

10) A man without a job is a man without a purpose. A man without purpose is a man with a job

[Wolf Larson]

"Political Freedom without economic equality is a pretense, a fraud, a lie; and the workers want no lying."

Minor point, but I think the latter's originally from Marx's critique of Hegel (http://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1843/critique-hpr/intro.htm).

[bayano]

Sloganeering is fun, but what was your original point for these? Are you making stickers? Art? Because otherwise, it's just socialist kitsch for bored radicals. We need to be organizing and fighting- and our propaganda should speak to those needs, not fall into kitsch. Sorry to sound impatient, but I can find another website to masturbate on.


P.S. I don't mind if someone uses this quote against me in response to a future post.

[Mike Russell]

heres a few,

'money for jobs, health care, and education; not war'

'expand the public works programe; directed under community control'

'bailout workers, not wall street'

'money for community needs, not bonuses'

most of these slogans will push workers away at best, some even turn workers against you. One i find weird is 'fuck may 68', we should be pointing to 'may 68' and its mass movements and 11 million on strike!(just in france) mass movements change they way people relate to other people and reveil who the real enemy is, thats what changes the world. saying fuck may 68' implys that we have anything to learn from the biggest general strike ever. thats FAR from the truth. that slogan does a disservice to the workers movement

I also know it's been used in the UK (and I'd imagine other places too); http://thecommune.wordpress.com/2009/02/26/photo-report-national-student-demo-against-fees/

I think it carries a very good message, the need to go beyond nostalgia and of trying to replicate what has come before. We remember the past and perhaps we learn from it, but there is nothing more obscene than trying to recreate it;
