“The Copernican revolution was actually a contribution to the life of the church, the development of our view of ourselves in terms of the Universe, and therefore our view of God, et cetera. But, that took centuries, and struggles, and conflicts before that happened.” UniverseTermChurchViewsStruggleHappenedCenturyRevolutionDevelopmentConflictContribution Author:George Coyne
“What does a political revolution look like? It means that 80 percent of the people vote in national elections, not 40 percent. It means that billionaires can't make unlimited campaign contributions and buy and sell politicians. It means that the U.S. government represents the needs of all the people, not just the 1 percent and their lobbyists.” PeopleNeedsLooksMeanDoeGovernmentPoliticalRevolutionPoliticianPercentVoteElectionSellsCampaignsContributionUnlimitedBillionaireLobbyistsPolitical RevolutionCampaign Contributions Author:Bernie Sanders
“The reality is we that have a corrupt campaign finance system which separates the American people's needs and desires from what Congress is doing. So to my mind, what we have got to do is wage a political revolution where millions of people have given up on the political process, stand up and fight back, demand the government that represents us and not just a handful of campaign contribution - contributors.” PeopleNeedsMindRealityGovernmentPoliticalDesireFightingGivenProcessMillionsRevolutionDemandCongressCampaignsFinanceContributionHandfulGiven UpContributorsCampaign FinancePolitical RevolutionCampaign Contributions Author:Bernie Sanders

“Chairman Mao's greatest contribution was that he applied the principles of Marxism-Leninism to the concrete practice of the Chinese revolution, pointing the way to victory.

“So far as Chairman Mao's own hopes were concerned, he initiated the "Cultural Revolution" in order to avert the restoration of capitalism, but he had made an erroneous assessment of China's actual situation. In the first place, the targets of the revolution were wrongly defined, which led to the effort to ferret out "capitalist roaders in power in the Party". Blows were dealt at leading cadres at all levels who had made contributions to the revolution and had practical experience, including Comrade Liu Shaoqi.” FirstsMadeOrderLevelsPartyEffortSituationRevolutionCapitalismConcernedIncludingBlowChinaPracticalsDefinedContributionTargetCapitalistChairmanRestorationAssessmentComradeMaoAvertFerretsChairman MaoCadrePractical Experience Author:Deng Xiaoping
