“Biz Çanakkale'ye gittiğimiz zaman, henüz Anafartalar muharebeleri olmamıştı. Mustafa Kemal yarbaydı. Fakat, ilk kahramanlığını göstermiş, Seddülbahir'in şimalinde ve Anafartalar'ın cenubunda İngilizlere ilk zapartayı atmış ve onları Arıburnu'nda dar bir yere mıhlamıştı. Arıburnu kumandanı Yanyalı Vehip Paşa'nın ağabeyi Esat Paşa idi. Arıburnu'na geldik. Orayı gezerken birdenbire İngilizlerin bir yaylım ateşi, yâni bombardımanı ve aynı zamanda kulağımıza bir de mızıka sesi geldi. Esat Paşa'ya sordum: -Paşam bu ne? Mızıka başladı, İngilizlerde de yaylım ateş? Cevap verdi: -Dikkat edin, bütün mermiler, şu üst tarafımızdaki Cesaret Tepesi'ne müteveccihtir. Her gün öğle zamanı oldu mu, oranın Fırka Kumandanı Mustafa Kemal, askerine bando ile yemek yedirir ve İngilizlerin, kıyıya dar bir yere mıhladığı için, mızıka sesini duyan gemileri, Mustafa Kemal'e ateşle cevap verirler. Yemek bitince bando kesilir, İngilizler de, sırf hiddetlerinden açtıkları ateşe nihayet verirler.”

“Capitalism sells you “happiness”. It wants to convert you into “happiness machines”. It also sells you anxiety. If you don’t buy what they are selling, you will ipso facto be unhappy, they claim. Capitalism is all about the Engineering of Consent. You are seduced into submitting to capitalist hegemony, to accepting cultural capitalism. You have an entirely false consciousness manufactured for you by capitalism, to serve capitalist interests, which are always those of the elite 1% that run the capitalist world. Wake up!”

“Meritocracy is based on the absolute destruction of the rigged race of life, via the introduction of 100% inheritance tax, i.e. an overwhelming advantage can no longer be passed on by rich parents to their children. All children, no matter the wealth of their parents, must begin at the same starting line as everyone else. No parent can rig the race. The 1% can no longer dictate the outcome of the race”

“National capitalism is the ultimate expression of community capitalism. The whole nation is regarded as the community to be served by capitalism. Capitalism is for everyone, not for the 1%. Laissez-faire capitalism, i.e. predatory free-market capitalism, is external to democracy and the elected government. It is run by and for the private elite, the 1%. The 99% are left to rot. National capitalism reverses this. It’s all about serving the 99%. The 99% always come first. Under national capitalism, the interests of the 1% are no priority whatsoever. This is therefore the opposite of the situation that pertains today.”
