Well, Marx is having a comeback. I hear him mentioned a lot in terms of the global financial situation and the general sense of injustice out there. A lot of economic experts in America refer to him without actually using the M word, but he’s around.

A radical generally meant a man who thought he could somehow pull up the root without affecting the flower. A conservative generally meant a man who wanted to conserve everything except his own reason for conserving anything.

The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of blessings; the inherent virtue of socialism is the equal sharing of miseries.

Since the time of the witch burnings, the grandmothers and the healers and the midwives have been systematically targeted. And burned at the stake for hundreds of years, decimating whole communities.

There is not Communism or Marxism, but representative democracy and social justice in a well-planned economy.

The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other peoples‘ money.

Slavery is a weed that grows on every soil.

The Revolution did not assume a socialist nature because of support from the U.S.S.R.; it was the other way around: support from the U.S.S.R. was produced by the socialist nature of the Cuban Revolution. To such a degree, that when the U.S.S.R. disappears, Cuba keeps on being socialist.

He who commits injustice is ever made more wretched than he who suffers it.

There is a specter haunting Europe, the specter of Communism.

The U.S. immigration laws are bad – really, really bad. I’d say treatment of immigrants is one of the greatest injustices done in our government’s name.

A weak man is just by accident. A strong but non-violent man is unjust by accident.

I think that all people who feel that there is injustice in the world anywhere should learn as much of it as they can bear. That is our duty.

Socialism in general has a record of failure so blatant that only an intellectual could ignore or evade it.

To cure the British disease with socialism was like trying to cure leukaemia with leeches.

Men feel that cruelty to the poor is a kind of cruelty to animals. They never feel that it is an injustice to equals; nay it is treachery to comrades.

To go to the world below, having a soul which is like a vessel full of injustice, is the last and worst of all the evils.

The strictest law sometimes becomes the severest injustice.

Racism and injustice and violence sweep our world, bringing a tragic harvest of heartache and death.

An unjust peace is better than a just war.

Socialism is the same as Communism, only better English.

Let the ruling classes tremble at a communist revolution. The proletarians have nothing to lose but their chains. They have a world to win. Workingmen of all countries, unite!

I believe Karl Marx could have subscribed to the Sermon on the Mount.

Injustice in the end produces independence.

The meaning of peace is the absence of opposition to socialism.

Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.

I still think like a Marxist in many ways.

Judge Afiuni has suffered enough. She has been subject to acts of violence and humiliations to undermine her human dignity. I am convinced that she must be set free.

A kingdom founded on injustice never lasts.

I spent my life studying communism and Soviet systems.

I do not deny that I planned sabotage. I did not plan it in a spirit of recklessness nor because I have any love of violence. I planned it as a result of a calm and sober assessment of the political situation that had arisen after many years of tyranny, exploitation and oppression of my people by the whites.

Justice is sweet and musical; but injustice is harsh and discordant.

The unjustifiable severity of a parent is loaded with this aggravation, that those whom he injures are always in his sight.

If anything is certain, it is that I myself am not a Marxist.

In a republic this rule ought to be observed: that the majority should not have the predominant power.

Under a government which imprisons any unjustly, the true place for a just man is also a prison.

From each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs.

Socialism, reduced to its simplest legal and practical expression, means the complete discarding of the institution of private property by transforming it into public property, and the division of the resultant public income equally and indiscriminately among the entire population.

Communism to me is one-third practice and two-thirds explanation.

Where there is a free government, and the people make their own laws by their representatives, I see no injustice in their obliging one another to take their own paper money.

Since the world has existed, there has been injustice. But it is one world, the more so as it becomes smaller, more accessible. There is just no question that there is more obligation that those who have should give to those who have nothing.

Democracy means government by the uneducated, while aristocracy means government by the badly educated.

The man who could go to Africa and rob her of her children, and then sell them into interminable bondage, with no other motive than that which is furnished by dollars and cents, is so much worse than the most depraved murderer that he can never receive pardon at my hand.

It’s impossible, I think, however much I’d become disillusioned politically or evolve into a post-political person, I don’t think I’d ever change my view that socialism is the best political moment humans have ever come up with.

Against eternal injustice, man must assert justice, and to protest against the universe of grief, he must create happiness.

Socialism never arises in the earlier phases of capitalism, as, for instance, among the pioneers of civilisation in a country where there is plenty of land available for private appropriation by the last comer.

To avoid being mistaken for a sellout, I chose my friends carefully. The more politically active black students. The foreign students. The Chicanos. The Marxist professors and structural feminists and punk-rock performance poets.

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

If the machine of government is of such a nature that it requires you to be the agent of injustice to another, then, I say, break the law.

Marx and Engels never talked about murdering the bourgeois. According to the old bourgeois concept, the judges were the ones who judged, and the executioners were the ones who executed.

There is always inequality in life. Some men are killed in a war and some men are wounded and some men never leave the country. Life is unfair.

In my country of South Africa, we struggled for years against the evil system of apartheid that divided human beings, children of the same God, by racial classification and then denied many of them fundamental human rights.

Injustice is relatively easy to bear; what stings is justice.

If you tremble with indignation at every injustice, then you are a comrade of mine.

If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor. If an elephant has its foot on the tail of a mouse and you say that you are neutral, the mouse will not appreciate your neutrality.

It is justice and respect that I want the world to dust off and put – without delay, and with tenderness – back on the head of the Palestinian child. It will be imperfect justice and respect because the injustice and disrespect have been so severe. But I believe we are right to try.

The majority of my interactions with police were not good. There were a few good ones who were actually protecting the community. But then you have ones from the Valley. They never met me in their life, but since I’m a kid in basketball shorts and a white T-shirt, they wanna slam me on the hood of the car. Sixteen years old.

I did have two dads; one was a socialist, and one was a capitalist. I really decided I would rather be a capitalist.

The highest reach of injustice is to be deemed just when you are not.
