“Imperialism, capitalism, fascism, neocolonialism, racism, man’s brutal exploitation of man in all its forms and manifestations, is approaching its end in humanity’s history, and their maddened lackeys know it; that is why their reactions are ever more desperate, more hysterical, more cynical, more impotent. Only that can explain such repugnant and absurd crimes as the one in Barbados.”.

“Imperialism is the one that needs weapons, since it is bereft of ideas.  In order to maintain this opprobrious system as well as all those situations that have been described here, it needs weapons; it has to maintain all those situations by resorting to the use of force.  But if there are ideas, if ideas in fact exist, we can defend those ideas; we can make those ideas to succeed.  Ideas do not require weapons as long as they are able to conquer the big masses.  Nobody should think that the contradiction between Socialism and Capitalism could be solved by force; one has to be mad to think that way.  And the imperialists are the ones who think that way.  That is why they keep their military basis everywhere in the World. They threaten the whole world; they intervene anywhere.”

“In these crucial years, the most powerful capitalist power having the most resources in all times has permitted itself the luxury of living like a parasite off the savings of the rest of the world which has not only seen itself forced to finance its fiscal and trade deficit as never before, but also an arms race without parallel in history.”

"All of the problems affecting the world today: the arms race, the nuclear threat, environmental pollution; the poisoning of the air, of the rivers, of the seas, all stem from the chaos, anarchy, exploitation, and irresponsibility of capitalism.”

"Let’s put an end to the transfer of lifestyles and consumer habits to the Third World that ruin the environment. Let human life be more rational. Let a just international economic order be implemented. Let science work toward a sustainable development without contamination".

"Let selfishness and hegemonism cease, as well as callousness, recklessness and deceit. Tomorrow it will be too late to do what should have been done a long time ago".

“It is worthwhile indicating that the main responsibility for the brutal destruction of the environment lies with the consumer societies. They are the offspring of the old colonial metropolises and of imperialist policies that also begot the poverty and backwardness which are today the scourge of the overwhelming majority of humanity.”
