“Political philosophers have often pointed out that in wartime, the citizen, the male citizen at least, loses one of his most basic rights, his right to life; and this has been true ever since the French Revolution and the invention of conscription, now an almost universally accepted principle. But these same philosophers have rarely noted that the citizen in question simultaneously loses another right, one just as basic and perhaps even more vital for his conception of himself as a civilized human being: the right not to kill.”

"The chancellor, the late chancellor, was only partly correct. He was obsolete. But so is the State, the entity he worshipped. Any state, entity, or ideology becomes obsolete when it stockpiles the wrong weapons: when it captures territories, but not minds; when it enslaves millions, but convinces nobody. When it is naked, yet puts on armor and calls it faith, while in the Eyes of God it has no faith at all. Any state, any entity, any ideology that fails to recognize the worth, the dignity, the rights of Man...that state is obsolete."

1919 year, Germany, execution of Communist (Spartacist uprising)

P.S. In case of German Revolution success Bolsheviks planned move center of USSR from Russia to much more industrialized and proletarian Germany.  In this case nor Stalin's counterrevolution, nor Great Purge with GULAG, nor rise of European Nazism with Holocaust, Generalplan OST, WW2 - never happened. But Humanity (as usual) chose most ****ty variant of own future - and we have that what we have now.

Rosa Luxenburg never bought into the hoax that was the Bolshevik revolution. She saw the dictatorship comming. Smart girl. 

 

Awesom pic by the way. 

So much brainwashing by bourgeois propaganda :facepalm:

Whatever a party could offer of courage, revolutionary far-sightedness and consistency in an historic hour, Lenin, Trotsky and all the other comrades have given in good measure. All the revolutionary honor and capacity which western Social-Democracy lacked was represented by the Bolsheviks. Their October uprising was not only the actual salvation of the Russian Revolution; it was also the salvation of the honor of international socialism.

Constructive Critics of comrades don't meant be against them.

I'm now at the age where I've decided it's probably a good idea to wear shin pads when I'm pitching.

It's wasn't the game last year where I got hit twice in the same leg with one of the welts that took 3 months to completely go away. No, it's this one that could be mistaken for another knee.

You see, ever since the whole Doritos Locos Tacos thing, Taco Bell thinks they can do whatever they want.
