Socialism Quotes
Socialism is the completion of democracy, not the negation of it.
Terry Eagleton
I think you hear, at least as an undertone, and it's going to grow louder, is that we believe that capitalism is the mantra of the day and anything that creeps towards socialism is a problem.
Tim Scott
Our contemporary brand of socialism has one fatal flaw. It's too expensive. When you try to shower benefits on so many recipients, you eventually must resort to subterfuge. Foremost among those tricks is money and credit expansion. Inevitably, you debase your currency.
James Cook
Socialism tends to destroy wealth. Socialism does this by draining
its vitality away. It does this by destroying the desirability of wealth
as a wholesome value. Socialism kills the chance that any community
can survive by browbeating the concept of vested ownership, on
which community survival is always dependent in the end.
Ziad K. Abdelnour
We are convinced that liberty without socialism is privilege, injustice; and that socialism without liberty is slavery and brutality.
Mikhail Bakunin
Let the "socialist" snivellers croak, let the bourgeoisie rage and fume, but only people who shut their eyes so as not to see, and stuff their ears so as not to hear, can fail to notice that all over the world the birth pangs of the old, capitalist society, which is pregnant with socialism, have begun.
Vladimir Lenin
The main task of Socialism - the organization of Socialist production - remains still in the future.
Leon Trotsky
Why communitarian socialism? Now not only do we have the pursuit of happiness for man, as a government, as a program or as our principles. But as well to live in harmony with Mother Earth.
Evo Morales
If governments do not ensure that, the peoples through their own efforts will ensure these changes, what we call communitarian socialism.
Evo Morales
Like liberals, anarchists want freedom; like socialists, anarchists want equality. But we are not satisfied by liberalism alone of by socialism alone. Freedom without equality means that the poor and the weak are less free than the rich and strong, and equality without freedom means that we are all slaves together. Freedom and equality are not contradictory, but complementary.
Nicolas Walter
Wherever capitalism appears, in pursuit of its mission of exploitation, there will Socialism, fertilized by misery, watered by tears, and vitalized by agitation be also found, unfurling its class-struggle banner and proclaiming its mission of emancipation.
Eugene V. Debs
Whoever wants to reach socialism by any other path than that of political democracy will inevitably arrive at conclusions that are absurd and reactionary both in the economic and the political sense.
Vladimir Lenin
