And by that I mean, "The last capitalist will sell us the rope we use to hang him" or "when our time comes, we will make no excuses for the terror". Those are bangers, to be sure, but they can't really be brought up in casual conversation. And I don't mean to construe them as overly edgy, because I understand a revolution isn't a dinner party, but I think there's something to be said sometimes for stressing the inherent humanity of communism.
Maybe I'm a little soft, but I love
"If you tremble with indignation at every injustice, then you are a comrade of mine" - Che Guevara
and
"When I give food to the poor, they call me a saint. When I ask why they are poor, they call me a communist." - Helder Camara
Whole essay. It's one of my favorite bits of socialist writing, but it's not terribly quotable.
Thank you for that. Its amazing how the vast majority of that commentary is still applicable. The situation now is the same as it was then.
