Quotations

  • "Socialism is not registered in the alleged laws of the history and the company. It is a human need, its realization depends initially on the will, the intelligence and the action of the exploited masses. Socialism will be the work of the exploited masses themselves or will not be. No avant-garde, no elite (whatever its name), could replace these masses for this work of libération"

  • "The principle of the historical praxis of the proletariat implies the refusal of any institution of hierarchy based on the specialized knowledge of professionals of the Directorate of Political Affairs; it is the negation absolue"

  • "Marx is compatible only with the action of a proletariat conscious of its vocation émancipatrice, animated by the will to release and release the humanity of its inhuman condition, of its role of support of the capacity of the capital and its State; of a wage-earning decided to abolish the system of the salariat"

  • "Recluse and ignored of alive sound, Marx ended up collecting a posthumous glory and a reputation which go against the ethical requirements of sound enseignement"

  • "Only the autonomous revolutionary action of the proletariat in its own organizations and according to the principles of solidarity international, can lead to the realization of socialism: nationalism and reformism can lead only to the catastrophe which is in germ in the system of the Capital and État"

  • "The economic apparatus of Russia presents the double character of pure capitalism, and the slave system without masque" (1957)
