Citas

“Never had a people given such a lofty example of civility: not one henchman was dragged through the streets, not one henchman was tortured in the way they used to do, not one henchman was mistreated.  We asked the people not to touch them, that justice would be dealt, and the people believed in us.  They didn’t drag anyone, they didn’t touch a hair on anyone’s head, because they believed in us.”

“Unequal exchange and the worst economic relations are imposed by the capitalist powers upon a large part of the peoples of the world.  These realities impose upon our revolutionary peoples the necessity and the duty to fight united in order to accelerate the end of such inhuman circumstances that typify what Karl Marx described as the pre-history of human society.”
