    The vast majority of people are not rising up trying to overthrow the country. It’s not the proletariat, rising up, overthrowing the Bourgeoisie. And it never is, whether it's Cuba or North Korea or China or Russia or any of those so-called revolutions, these are Marxist efforts by a smaller percentage of society to control a larger percentage of society, these are not peasant revolutions.

  4. Leon Trotsky:

Our standard is, clearly, political, imperative and intolerant.
