The basic law of capitalism is you or I, not both you and I.

Capitalism is war; socialism is peace.

Like a cyclone, imperialism spins across the globe; militarism crushes peoples and sucks their blood like a vampire.

The failure of the Russian Socialist Republic will be the defeat of the proletariat of the whole world.

To the socialist no nation is free whose national existence is based upon the enslavement of another people, for to him colonial peoples, too, are peoples, and, as such, parts of the national state.

But Socialism, alone, can bring self-determination of their peoples.

For capitalism, war and peace are business and nothing but business.

Imperialism is not the creation of any one or any one group of states.

In the present imperialistic milieu there can be no wars of national self-defense.

International socialism recognizes the right of free independent nations, with equal rights.

Long live the liberation of the workers off all countries from the infernal chasm of war, exploitation and slavery!

Passive fatalism can never be the role of a revolutionary party, like the Social Democracy.

The aim of my life is the overthrow of monarchy.

The new Germany has the unquestionable right to hold its tongue between its teeth.

The Russian revolution was to an unprecedented degree the cause of the proletariat of the whole world becoming more revolutionary.

Through this experience we have been warned - learn everything, don't forget anything!

Yes, Socialists should defend their country in great historical crises.

Class struggle: external peace, international solidarity, peace among peoples. This is the sacred slogan of international socialist democracy that liberates nations.

Consider well this fact: As long as the German people does not arise and use force directed by its own will, the assassination of the people will continue.

In capitalist history, invasion and class struggle are not opposites, as the official legend would have us believe, but one is the means and the expression of the other.
