Quote by David G Maillu

“While at the hospital, he felt so awful about his fallen life. It was so surprising how someone could change from grace to disgrace. He realized that just as a man was capable of growing physically and spiritually strong, he was capable of growing weak.”

“In terms of cooperation with other denominations, Classical Pentecostals in Kenya have had a wary and suspicious approach to ecumenism from their earliest decades. It was noted that they were willing to unite and cooperate with other denominations regarding service to one another and society but not in faith and doctrine. This stance was informed by their desire to safeguard their distinctive experience of baptism in the Spirit with its resultant manifestation of speaking in tongues. The suspicion lingers on, which is confirmed by the fact that neither PAG nor CITAM are members of NCCK.”

“The major challenge facing Classical Pentecostals is what to do with the Charismatics in other mainline denominations who traditionally do not fall under the category of Pentecostals, yet they are embracing the experience of baptism in the Spirit and its myriad manifestations. If indeed spirit baptism breeds unity, are the Pentecostals willing to dialogue with other Christian expressions in Kenya that have allowed the ‘Pentecostal’ experience within their fold?”

“L’Ur-Fascismo si basa su un “populismo qualitativo”. In una democrazia i cittadini godono di diritti individuali, ma l’insieme dei cittadini è dotato di un impatto politico solo dal punto di vista quantitativo (si seguono le decisioni della maggioranza). Per l’Ur-Fascismo gli individui in quanto individui non hanno diritti, e il “popolo” è concepito come una qualità, un’entità monolitica che esprime la “volontà comune”. Dal momento che nessuna quantità di esseri umani può possedere una volontà comune, il leader pretende di essere il loro interprete. Avendo perduto il loro potere di delega, i cittadini non agiscono, sono solo chiamati pars pro toto, a giocare il ruolo del popolo. Il popolo è così solo una finzione teatrale. Per avere un buon esempio di populismo qualitativo, non abbiamo più bisogno di Piazza Venezia o dello stadio di Norimberga. Nel nostro futuro si profila un populismo qualitativo TV o Internet, in cui la risposta emotiva di un gruppo selezionato di cittadini può venire presentata e accettata come la “voce del popolo”. A ragione del suo populismo qualitativo, l’Ur-Fascismo deve opporsi ai “putridi” governi parlamentari.”

“Societies sometimes smear Wisdom and her natural, symmetrical beauty. She is at times caked beneath the extreme makeup of dirty politics and yellow journalism. At times she may appear to be the red, far-right extremist to a majority that has drifted too far left - and at other times, the blue, far-left extremist to a majority that has drifted too far right. 'She' is Wisdom, a beacon in the center of hope and a lighthouse to be utilized. She is truth that must be washed by the sea of Love.”

“The internal disunion of human nature, the schism of the soul, leads to the schism of the ruling class. And as with Heraclitus, war, class war, is the father and promoter of all change, and of the history of man, which is nothing but the history of the breakdown of society. We see that Plato’s idealist historicism ultimately rests not upon a spiritual, but upon a biological basis; it rests upon a kind of meta-biology of the race of men. Plato was not only a naturalist who proffered a biological theory of the state, he was also the first to proffer a biological and racial theory of social dynamics, of political history.”

“Η "συνάντηση των άκρων", για την οποία μας είχαν πάρει τα αυτιά προκειμένου να στιγματίσουν τη Ριζοσπαστική Αριστερά, έγινε πραγματικότητα, αν και με διαφορετικό τρόπο απ' ότι μας περιέγραφαν: Το Ακραίο Κέντρο συνάντησε με ανοιχτές αγκάλες την Άκρα Δεξιά. Αν μπορούσε να παρακολουθεί τις εξελίξεις από το υπερπέραν, ο Τζόρτζιο Αλμιράντε θα έτριβε τα χέρια του.”

“Economic difficulty coincides with a sense of cultural disadvantage. Work no longer provides identity and status for many young men. Given cultural pressure to consume conspicuously, and the linkage of consumer goods to sex appeal, poor young men feel left out. They resent governments that are more inclined to tackle discrimination on grounds of gender, race, or sexual orientation than they are to deal with class inequality—doubtless governments ignore class inequality because it alone is intrinsic to capitalism.”
