Four faves, in ascending order of awesomeness:

"It's the economy, stupid" - 90s US election slogan with more truth than those fuckers knew

"this ‘productive’ worker cares as much about the crappy shit he has to make as does the capitalist himself who employs him, and who also couldn’t give a damn for the junk" - Karl Marx, in the Grundrisse, especially awesome if you read this quote in a German accent

"true haters cannot be found among our comrades" - Errico Malatesta

"Nothing will take place without class hatred" - Mario Tronti

my second favourite quotes is:

" Don't ever discuss with an idiot. The people who hear could not appreciate the difference..."
Woody Allen .

" doing waitress must be awful... all the prostitutes I've been meeting always answer so when I ask why they do such job; that's always better than being a waitress..."
Ibidem...

p.s. 4 the comrades from north american - a language explanation: what does exactly mean the word "Mulignan" which is often used into series "soprano" referred to recent immigrants - I seem ??

.."take your best orgasm...multiply it x 1000 - and U're not still close at all. Here You are - that's EROIN" from the protagonist of Trainspotting ( 1 of my best 10 movies of always).

Obviuosly I change Eroin with Revolution ( sometimes as I feel down it would be enough any real mass strike or protest )

Always with the shock tactics, Duke.

forget where I read it, but cool

It sounds like a variation to the Paris Commune's, "Let the last King be hung by the intestines of the last priest."

OK so as we have had a run recently of quotes from dictators:

"It is good for leaders that men do not think." Hitler.

"The death of one man is a tragedy. The death of millions is a statistic." Stalin.

It's "which may be amended in times of great social upheavel," I believe, but on the subject:

"We are the working class. We are often reactionary. We are often fratricidal. We are often just plain stupid. But sometimes, every once in a while, we do it right. We organize. We fight. Our struggle is often co-opted. Sold out. Taken over. But then, every once in a while, we glimpse at the possibilities. The strength and power we can and should be able to wield against our masters. Capitalist, bourgeosie, bosses, whatever word makes sense to you, these are the enemy. But class struggle anarchists are also our own worst enemy. We want to be pure. We want to be noble. We want to be just. The problem is that we are working class. And while we are pure and noble and just, we are also reactionary and fratricidal and stupid."

Course it's pronounced an-arc-key in trailer trash middle america drawl. Heard bender from futurama was named after john bender. Poetic justice.

Criticism may not be agreeable, but it is necessary. It fulfils the same function as pain in the human body. It calls attention to an unhealthy state of things.

What's with all the politician quotes Chuck? Don't you know that's not real anarchy? If you knew what real anarchy was, I mean real, real anarchy, you'd probably wig out and go fucking insane. Happens all the time.

do you think that no politician in history has said good quotes.

I completely agree with the above quote from churchill.

criticism is painful and awful and completely needed.
anarchist don't criticize themselves enough. it's needed.

group criticism sessions and self criticism...

Conscientious practice of self-criticism is still another hallmark distinguishing our Party from all other political parties. As we say, dust will accumulate if a room is not cleaned regularly, our faces will get dirty if they are not washed regularly. Our comrades' minds and our Party's work may also collect dust, and also need sweeping and washing. The proverb "Running water is never stale and a door-hinge is never worm-eaten" means that constant motion prevents the inroads of germs and other organisms. To check up regularly on our work and in the process develop a democratic style of work, to fear neither criticism nor self-criticism, and to apply such good popular Chinese maxims as "Say all you know and say it without reserve", "Blame not the speaker but be warned by his words" and "Correct mistakes if you have committed them and guard against them if you have not" - this is the only effective way to prevent all kinds of political dust and germs from contaminating the minds of our comrades and the body of our Party.
