" In a fallout shelter future, extinction will scream from silos
The blood of man will run, red will flood the land
So say your prayers ridden with false hopes
because the plague prevails and chokes
with a grip that grabs ghosts
Yes! Hark the herald Angel of Death!
The peril will mangle and spread
Until "Life" is just a new name for the dead"
one of my favorite songs
"
Power is not a means, it is an end. One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship.
No advance in wealth, no softening of manners, no reform or revolution has ever brought human equality a millimeter nearer.
Pacifism is objectively pro-fascist. This is elementary common sense. If you hamper the war effort of one side, you automatically help out that of the other. Nor is there any real way of remaining outside such a war as the present one. In practice, 'he that is not with me is against me.
All the war-propaganda, all the screaming and lies and hatred, comes invariably from people who are not fighting.
As with the Christian religion, the worst advertisement for Socialism is its adherents."
