The crisis consists precisely in the fact that the old is dying and the new
“The crisis consists precisely in the fact that the old is dying and the new cannot be born; in this interregnum a great variety of morbid symptoms appear.”
Antonio Gramsci, Prison Notebooks

Jean-Paul Sartre
“By extending the idea of natural law to the economic sphere - an inevitable but fundamental error - they (18th century philosophes) both secularized the economy and converted it into a domain external to man: a system of inflexible laws whose constraints permitted no modification.”
Jean-Paul Sartre, Between Existentialism and Marxism

“The mere existence of formal freedom, which if employed effectively would be suppressed, cannot be considered as evidence of real freedom.”
Albert Szymanski, Human Rights in the Soviet Union: Including Comparisons with the U.S.A.

Franz Kafka
“One learns when one has to; one learns when one needs a way out; one learns at all costs. One stands over oneself with a whip; one flays oneself at the slightest opposition.”
Franz Kafka, The Complete Stories

Michael Parenti
“The very concept of "revolutionary violence" is somewhat falsely cast, since most of the violence comes from those who attempt to prevent reform, not from those struggling for reform. By focusing on the violent rebellions of the downtrodden, we overlook the much greater repressive force and violence utilized by the ruling oligarchs to maintain the status quo, including armed attacks against peaceful demonstrations, mass arrests, torture, destruction of opposition organizations, suppression of dissident publications, death squad assassinations, the extermination of whole villages, and the like.”
Michael Parenti, Blackshirts and Reds: Rational Fascism and the Overthrow of Communism
