“We must practice revolutionary democracy in every aspect of our Party life. Every responsible member must have the courage of his responsibilities, exacting from others a proper respect for his work and properly respecting the work of others. Hide nothing from the masses of our people. Tell no lies. Expose lies whenever they are told. Mask no difficulties, mistakes, failures. Claim no easy victories.” PeopleLyingEasyPartyMistakeResponsibilityPracticeDemocracyVictoryMembersMassAspectClaimsDifficultyResponsibleRevolutionaryMask Author:Amilcar Cabral
“A people who free themselves from foreign domination will be free culturally only if, without complexes and without underestimating the importance of positive accretions from oppressor and other cultures, they return to the upward paths of their own culture, which is nourished by the living reality of its environment, and which negates both harmful influences and any kind of subjection to foreign culture. Thus, it may be seen that if imperialist domination has the vital need to practice cultural oppression, national liberation is necessarily an act of culture” PeopleIfsNeedsKindMayRealityCulturePracticePathEnvironmentInfluenceReturnImportanceComplexesOppressionLiberationUnderestimateDominationOppressorsOther CulturesSubjectionLiving RealityForeign Culture Author:Amilcar Cabral
