Cool quotations, to stencil

[Y Chwyldro Comiwnyddol Cymraeg]

Any body got some cool Lenin,Che,Chavez,Ho,Fidel,Engles,Marx etc. quotations?
Im gonna stencil the A with hammer ans sickle thing with a leftist/anarchist quote.
Im lovin the stencilin?DIY clothes, when will the database be opened? Keep up the good work comrades

[apathy maybe]

I can't think of any quotes of the top of my head that Marxists have used, but the old "property is theft" and "anarchy is order, government is chaos" are cool. I always like "smash the state".

A good thread on DIY clothing is http://www.revolutionaryleft.com/index.php?showtopic=41352
Actually there are a number of good stencils threads around as well.

[Black Dagger]

'There's no such thing as illegal immigrants, only illegal governments'

Might be a bit long for stenciling purposes though...


As for the stencil database, should be open in the next couple weeks.

[Rollo]

I put

"work work work work work work+ more work etc" in really small text so it looks kinda like a newspaper.

[counterblast]

"When your friends misunderstand your works and your enemies understand them all too well -- remember what they did to Michelangelo: they waited until he was dead and then painted over the genitals in the sistine chapel; just as Neitzsche's racist sister presented him to the world as a proto-fascist genius after he lost his mind. Just as Paul used Jesus, Plato used Socrates, and the Communists used Durrutti and Marx. Give your enemies nothing. Let your tears freeze to stones we can hurl from catapults at your enemies. Write your own epitaph and say it out loud, still alive. This life is a war we are still not winning for our daughter's children. Don't do your enemies work for them -- finish your own."

I dont know if French is any good but one ive taken to writting everywhere is "etre libre ... (A)utrement" in cursive writting looks really good.

I guess it translates as "being free ... otherweise". I guess it would work as "be free ... without you Fat Cat/Capitalist-ism" or something.

Thanks for the quotes...the trotsky one is similar to lenin fascism is capitalism in decay. But i love the R. Lux one and the Gramsci one...I love him :P
