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

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.

It is far easier for the proverbial camel to pass through the needle’s eye, hump and all, than for an erstwhile colonial administration to give sound and honest counsel of a political nature to its liberated territory.

Countrymen, the task ahead is great indeed, and heavy is the responsibility; and yet it is a noble and glorious challenge.

I am not African because I was born in Africa but because Africa was born in me.

But as a Great Power whose greatness is indestructible because it is built not on fear, envy and suspicion, nor won at the expense of others, but founded on hope, trust, friendship and directed to the good of all mankind.

The community of economic life is the major feature within a nation, and it is the economy which holds together the people living in a territory. It is on this basis that the new Africans recognise themselves as potentially one nation, whose dominion is the entire African continent.

There is a close connection between socio-political development.

The essence of neo-colonialism is that the State which is subject to it is, in theory, independent and has all the outward trappings of international sovereignty.

The masses of the people of Africa are crying for unity.

No people without a government of their own can expect to be treated on the same level as people of independent sovereign states.

Investment under neo-colonialism increases rather than decreases the gap between the rich and poor countries of the world.

Long before many of us were even conscious of our own degradation, these men [Marcus Garvey and W. E. B. DuBois] fought for African national and racial equality.

the innate respect for human lives, the intense humanity that is our heritage, the African race, united under one federal government, will emerge not as just another world bloc to flaunt its wealth and strength.

A State in the grip of neo-colonialism is not master of its own destiny. It is this factor which makes neo-colonialism such a serious threat to world peace.

The independence of Ghana is meaningless unless it is linked-up with the total liberation of the African Continent

The struggle between social classes and the history of ideologies. In general, intellectual movements closely reflect the trends of economic developments.

In the Soviet Union, capitalism triumphed over communism. In this country, capitalism triumphed over democracy.

Liberal capitalism is not perfect, but compared to the other ‘isms,’ it’s far superior.

Capitalism is based on self-interest and self-esteem; it holds integrity and trustworthiness as cardinal virtues and makes them pay off in the marketplace, thus demanding that men survive by means of virtue, not vices.

Crony capitalism is essentially a condition in which… public officials are giving favours to people in the private sector in payment of political favours.

Liberal capitalism is not at all the Good of humanity. Quite the contrary; it is the vehicle of savage, destructive nihilism.

Whoever criticizes capitalism, while approving immigration, whose working class is its first victim, had better shut up.

I am surprised to see that today everything that does not amount to surrender pure and simple to generalized capitalism.

Whoever criticizes immigration, while remaining silent about capitalism, should do the same.
