“We must bear in mind that imperialism is a world system, the last stage of capitalism-and it must be defeated in a world confrontation. The strategic end of this struggle should be the destruction of imperialism. Our share, the responsibility of the exploited and underdeveloped of the world, is to eliminate the foundations of imperialism: our oppressed nations, from where they extract capital, raw materials, technicians, and cheap labor, and to which they export new capital-instruments of domination-arms and all kinds of articles, thus submerging us in an absolute dependence.” WorldShouldMindKindEndsLastsNationsFreedomResponsibilityStruggleShareStageMaterialsArmsBearsCapitalismLaborDestructionAbsolutesFoundationInstrumentsAll KindsArticlesDefeatedOppressedDependenceImperialismDominationStrategicConfrontationRaw MaterialsTechniciansCheap Labor Book:Guerrilla Warfare Source: Guerrilla Warfare

“No power of earth, or hell, men or devils, can possibly stand against the word of God; and hence it is the very height of folly and wild madness for any one to set up his thoughts or reasonings in opposition to the plain statements of Holy Scripture; and, on the other hand, it is the beginning and end of all true wisdom to submit in all things to the absolute authority of that Word which is settled forever in Heaven.” MenEndsHandsEarthChristianHeavenHellForeverHolyAuthorityDevilAll ThingsMadnessAbsolutesScriptureStatementsHeightReasoningFollyOppositionWord Of GodSubmitHoly ScripturesTrue WisdomBeginnings And Ends Author:Charles Henry Mackintosh
“Oppression tries to defend itself by its utility. But we have seen that it is one of the lies of the serious mind to attempt to give the word "useful" an absolute meaning; nothing is useful if it is not useful to man; nothing is useful to man if the latter is not in a position to define his own ends and values, if he is not free.” IfsMenGivingTryingMindEndsLyingValuesPositionSeriousAbsolutesOppressionLatterUtilityMeaning Nothing Book:The Ethics of Ambiguity Source: The Ethics of Ambiguity
“Magic is that which it is; it is by itself, like the mathematics; for it is the exact and absolute science of Nature and its laws . Magic is the science of the Ancient Magi: and the Christian religion, which has imposed silence on the lying oracles, and put an end to the prestiges of the false Gods , itself reveres those Magi who came from the East, guided by a Star , to adore the Saviour of the world in His cradle.” WorldEndsChristianLawLyingStarsSilenceMagicAbsolutesMathematicsAncientEastAdoreCradleSaviourPrestigeOraclesFalse Gods Book:Morals and Dogma Source: Morals and Dogma
“I hate writing. I so intensely hate writing - I cannot tell you how much. The moment I am at the end of one project I have the idea that I didn't really succeed in telling what I wanted to tell, that I need a new project - it's an absolute nightmare. But my whole economy of writing is in fact based on an obsessional ritual to avoid the actual act of writing.” NeedsWritingIdeasEndsWholeMomentsFactsWantedHateEconomySucceedProjectsI HateAbsolutesNightmareRitualNew Projects Author:Slavoj Žižek
