stars night light
The stars drew light across the night sky in that little mountain village, and the silence and the cold made the darkness vanish away. It was - I don't know how to explain it - as if everything solid melted away into the ether, eliminating all individualtiy and absorbing us, rigid, into the immense darkness. Not a single cloud to lend perspective to the space blocked any portion of the starry sky.
adventure political risk
Many will call me an adventurer - and that I am, only one of a different sort: one of those who risks his skin to prove his platitudes.

The myth of the self-made man, has to be profoundly hypocritical: it is the self-serving demonstration that a lie is the truth
struggle government popular-vote
Where a government has come into power through some form of popular vote, fraudulent or not, and maintains at least an appearance of constitutional legality, the guerrilla outbreak cannot be promoted, since the possibilities of peaceful struggle have not yet been exhausted.

We must strive everyday so that love of living humanity will be transformed into actual deeds, into acts that serve as examples, as a moving force.
reading daddy communism
I have come to communism because of daddy Stalin and nobody must come and tell me that I mustn’t read Stalin. I read him when it was very bad to read him. That was another time. And because I’m not very bright, and a hard-headed person, I keep on reading him. Especially in this new period, now that it is worse to read him. Then, as well as now, I still find a Seri of things that are very good.
life thinking feelings
At the risk of seeming ridiculous, let me say that the true revolutionary is guided by a great feeling of love. It is impossible to think of a genuine revolutionary lacking this quality.
wall imf today
The interests of the IMF represent the big international interests that today seem to be established and concentrated in Wall Street.
men commodity achieve
Man truly achieves his full human condition when he produces without being compelled by the physical necessity of selling himself as a commodity.
military ungrateful youth
Youth must refrain from ungrateful questioning of governmental mandates. Instead they must dedicate themselves to study, work and military service. The very spirit of rebellion is reprehensible.
law broken oppression
When forces of oppression come to maintain themselves in power against established law, peace is considered already broken.
victory socialism victim
The victory of Socialism is well worth millions of atomic victims!
