Domestic Enemies Quotes

“Even in a revolutionary movement, most people are like sheep.  They are naturally afraid, and like sheep, they have to be led.”

“Che had shown the way in Cuba, back in ‘59 and ‘60, sending thousands of possible enemies of the revolution to the firing squads.  It was Che’s firm conviction that it was necessary to execute class enemies en masse, in order to terrorize the rest into rapid submission.  This was a necessary step to guarantee the permanence of the revolution, when half measures would only put the revolution at risk.  It was Che’s dictum that it was better to execute one hundred innocent men, than to allow one clever traitor to live to challenge the revolution.  In the furtherance of the glorious cause of promoting social justice, the ends always justified the means.”
