“We should be active leaders in the fight for civil liberties which adequately reflect present social realities. Furthermore the left as a movement must appropriate the green agenda. Sustainability has to become the foundation of all our pursuits. This movement is my dream and vision.

“Generally, the arguments for same-sex marriage go along these lines: 'I have a civil right.' What the homosexual movement wants to do is to hitch their agenda to the civil rights movement, but I point out that this is illegitimate for a number of reasons. Number one, no black person has ever left his black-ness or changed his black-ness, but plenty of people have come out of the homosexual movement. What we need to do is distinguish between race and behavior.” PeopleWantNeedsPersonsReasonLeftSexBlackLinesNumbersRaceRightsMovementChangedBehaviorArgumentCivil RightsPlentyAgendasHomosexualCivil Rights MovementBlack Person Author:Erwin W.

“Men, women and children too, ran hysterically, falling and stumbling, getting up, tripping and falling again, rolling over and over. Most of them managed to regain their feet and made it to the water. But many of them never made it and were left behind, their feet drumming in blinding pain on the overheated pavements amidst the rubble, until there came one last convulsing shudder from the smoking 'thing' on the ground, and then no further movement.” MenChildrenMadePainLastsFallLeftWaterBehindsFeetMovementMade ItRanSmokingRollingLeft BehindMen WomenStumblingPavementDrummingRubbleTrippingRolling Over Author:Martin Caidin

“Rebellion against technology and civilization is real rebellion, a real attack on the values of the existing system. But the green anarchists, anarcho-primitivists, and so forth (The "GA Movement") have fallen under such heavy influence from the left that their rebellion against civilization has to great extent been neutralized. Instead of rebelling against the values of civilization, they have adopted many civilized values themselves and have constructed an imaginary picture of primitive societies that embodies these civilized values.” RealValuesLeftTechnologyInfluenceMovementCivilizationGreenHeavyFallenRebellionCivilizedImaginaryPrimitiveAdoptedAnarchist Author:Theodore Kaczynski
“Since ancient times, the left side has stood for the side of the unconscious or the unknown; the right side, by contrast, has represented the side of consciousness or wakefulness. Through the late twentieth century, the movement of the Left limited themselves to a materialist understanding of reality- exemplified by Marxism- demanding social justice and economic equality but not the restoration of intuition and the recognition of the hidden, qualitative dimensions of being suppressed by the mental-rational consciousness, narrowly focused on the quantifiable.” RealityLeftSocialUnderstandingSidesJusticeConsciousnessEconomicCenturyMovementLateSocial JusticeAncientIntuitionFocusedRationalRecognitionUnconsciousDimensionsContrastRationalityMarxismTwentieth CenturyRestorationAncient TimesQualitativeEconomic Equality Author:Jean Gebser

“the explanation of the ebb and flow of the women's movement ... is partly psychological. During those early post-war years when successes came thick and fast and were almost thrust upon us, the nation was still under the influence of the reconstruction spirit, when everything seemed possible ... A few years later the nation had reached the stage which follows a drinking bout. It was feeling ruefully in its empty pockets. It did not want to part with anything to anybody. Its head ached. Noble sentiments made it feel sick.

“In the days of Ram Mohan Roy when English education was introduced in this country, the Mahomedans did not accept it... They did not accept English education and at the same time they were divorced from the culture which their fathers had advanced. The result was that whereas the Hindus got on in life, got into government employment, got many things which people value in life, the Mahomedans were left without it and gradually there came to be a sort of estrangement between the two nationalities at the time of the Swadeshi movement.” PeopleTwoCountryGovernmentValuesCultureFatherLeftResultsAcceptingMovementEmploymentDivorcedNationalityValue Of LifeEstrangementRamsEnglish Education Author:Chittaranjan Das
