“It is only the ending of capitalism, colonialism, imperialism and neocolonialism and the attainment of world communism that can provide the conditions under which the RACE question can finally be abolished and eliminated.”

Capitalism is a development by refinement from feudalism, just as feudalism is development by refinement from slavery .

The notion that in order to have a nation it is necessary for there to be a common language, a common territory and common culture has failed to stand the test of time or the scrutiny of scientific definition of objective reality…

As far as i am concerned, i am in the knowledge that death can never extinguish the torch which i have lit in Ghana and Africa.

The traditional face of Africa includes an attitude towards man which can only be described as being socialist

The fortunes of the African revolution are closely linked with the world-wide struggle against imperialism. It does not matter where the battle erupts, be it in Africa, Asia or Latin America, the master-mind and master-hand at work are the same.

I believe strongly and sincerely that with the deep-rooted wisdom and dignity.

But I think that of all the literature that I studied, the book that did more than any other to fire my enthusiasm was The Philosophy and Opinions of Marcus Garvey published by his wife.

Her earth is rich, yet the products that come from above and below the soil continue to enrich, not Africans predominantly, but groups and individuals who operate to Africa’s impoverishment.

Action without thought is empty. Thought without action is blind.

Africa is a paradox which illustrates and highlights neo-colonialism .

We face neither East nor West: we face forward.

For centuries, Europeans dominated the African continent.

Africa is one continent, one people, and one nation.

Freedom is not something that one people can bestow on another as a gift. Thy claim it as their own and none can keep it from them.

Capitalism is but the gentlemen’s method of slavery.

It is far better to be free to govern or misgovern yourself than to be governed by anybody else

The grace of capitalism is to make wants feel like hopes, so that material objects and stuff can feel like the possibility of something heroic and civic.

I don’t think that the contradictions between capitalism and socialism can be resolved by war. This is no longer the age of the bow and arrow. It’s the nuclear age, and war can annihilate us all. The only way to achieve solutions seems to be for the different social systems to coexist.

The sin of capitalism, perhaps, is to make wants feel like needs, to give to simple silly stuff the urgency of near-physical necessity: I must have it.

Capitalism is a stupid system, a backward system.

I find capitalism repugnant. It is filthy, it is gross, it is alienating because it causes war, hypocrisy and competition.

Capitalism is using its money; we socialists throw it away.

Nothing in the world is irreversible, not even capitalism.

If Mr. Kennedy does not like Socialism, we do not like imperialism. We do not like Capitalism.
