“China, whose allies today on the Asian continent invaded and plundered it a mere seven decades ago, is now moving forward to a top position in the world economy.

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.”
“For super-developed societies, the problem is not growth but distribution, and not only distribution amongst themselves, but distribution among all of them. The sustainable growth we are talking about is impossible without a more just distribution among all countries.”
