“America is not the crude stereotype of a self-interested empire. The United States has been one of the greatest sources of progress that the world has ever known. We were born out of revolution against an empire. We were founded upon the ideal that all are created equal. And we have shed blood and struggled for centuries to give meaning to those words, within our borders and around the world. We are shaped by every culture. Drawn from every end of the Earth, and dedicated to a simple concept, E pluribus unum: Out of many, one.” WorldGivingHas BeensEndsSelfStatesEarthAmericaCultureBornSimpleUnitedKnownUnited StatesProgressBloodCenturySourceRevolutionEqualConceptsIdealsAround The WorldBordersEmpiresDedicatedShedStereotypeCrude Author:Barack Obama

“Capitalism has been fully restored in Yugoslavia, as is well-known, but this capitalism knows how to disguise. Yugoslavia portrays itself as a socialist state, but of a special kind, as the world has never seen it before! The Titoites even boast that their state has nothing in common with the first socialist state which emerged from the socialist October Revolution and which was founded by Lenin and Stalin on the basis of the scientific theory of Marx and Engels.” KnowsWorldFirstsWellsKindHas BeensStatesCommonKnownKnow HowSpecialTheoryRevolutionCapitalismBasesDisguiseSocialistWell KnownBoastOctoberScientific TheoryYugoslaviaEngelsOctober RevolutionLenin And Stalin Author:Enver Hoxha
“Life itself today has lost its plane reality: it is projected, not along the old fixed points, but along the dynamic coordinates of Einstein, of revolution. In this new projection, the best-known formulas and objects become displaced, fantastic, familiar-unfamiliar. This is why it is so logical for literature today to be drawn to the fantastic plot, or to an amalgam of reality and fantasy.” InspirationalArtRealityTodayLiteratureLostKnownFantasyObjectsRevolutionFamiliarFantasticPlanesFixedPlotLogicalFormulasProjectionUnfamiliarCoordinates Author:Yevgeny Zamyatin

“The Africans were oftentimes allied with the antagonist of the Republic. Now, you may want to step back and ask yourself why that might be. It may lead you to a reconsideration of the origins of the nation now known as the United States of America. As opposed to seeing it in the same vein as the French Revolution and the Haitian Revolution, you might see it in the same vein as the revolt against British rule in Rhodesia in 1965, and, if so, that might help to shed light on why conservatism is so deeply entrenched in this republic.” IfsWantMayStatesHelpingLightMightAmericaAsksNationsUnitedKnownStepsUnited StatesSeeingRevolutionBritishRepublicShedUnited States Of AmericaVeinsConservatismRevoltFrench RevolutionAntagonistHaitianReconsiderationBritish RuleRhodesiaHaitian Revolution Author:Gerald Horne

“I am sorry to be so blunt, but I do not see much ambiguity here. [Barack] Obama was late to affirm the Egyptian revolution as a democratic movement, and even then he was eager to have installed those military leaders who were known for their practices of torture.

“We are afraid of the known and afraid of the unknown. That is our daily life and in that there is no hope, and therefore every form of philosophy, every form of theological concept, is merely an escape from the actual reality of what is.
