“Fascism is a caricature of Jacobinism.”

Workers – men and women – of all countries, place yourselves under the banner of the Fourth International. It is the banner of your approaching victory!

As long as human labor power, and, consequently, life itself, remain articles of sale and purchase, of exploitation and robbery, the principle of the “sacredness of human life” remains a shameful lie, uttered with the object of keeping the oppressed slaves in their chains.

You are pitiful isolated individuals; you are bankrupts; your role is played out. Go where you belong from now on – into the dustbin of history!

Fascism is nothing but capitalist reaction.

It is also false that the revolution ripens and comes to development only in the national soil.

‎The party that leans upon the workers but serves the bourgeoisie, in the period of the greatest sharpening of the class struggle, cannot but sense the smells wafted from the waiting grave.

The historic ascent of humanity, taken as a whole, may be summarized as a succession of victories of consciousness over blind forces – in nature, in society, in man himself.

The United States is not only the strongest, but also the most terrified country.

There is a limit to the application of democratic methods. You can inquire of all the passengers as to what type of car they like to ride in, but it is impossible to question them as to whether to apply the brakes when the train is at full speed and accident threatens.

Capitalism does live by crises and booms, just as a human being lives by inhaling and exhaling.

In 1917 there was not a single Bolshevik who considered possible the realization of a socialist society in a single country, and least of all in Russia.

The Soviet Union needs thinking and critical friends, such as are capable not only of singing hymns in the hours of success, but of not shrinking in the hour of defeat and danger.

Let us not forget that revolutions are accomplished through people, although they be nameless. Materialism does not ignore the feeling, thinking, and acting man, but explains him.

There is no justice in bureaucracy for the individual, for bureaucracy caters only to itself. One cannot practice the same bureaucracy as one is fighting against.

The main task of Socialism – the organization of Socialist production – remains still in the future.

Our planet is being turned into a filthy and evil-smelling imperialist barrack.

When fascism comes to the United States it will be wrapped in the American flag and will claim the name of 100-percent Americanism

Fascism is nothing but capitalist reaction.

Fascism will come to America wrapped in a flag.

We’ve learned a lot from the great psychologists. Wilhelm Reich wrote about the relationship between fascism and sexual repression.

Benito Mussolini created the word ‘fascism.’ He defined it as ‘the merging of the state and the corporation.’ He also said a more accurate word would be ‘corporatism.’

So people at the time really saw fascism not just as an evil but as an aggressive evil that seemed to be spreading.

You’ve got politicians in power or vying for power who are taking tactics and elements of their appeal from the playbook of fascism.

Why nationalize industry when you can nationalize the people?
