“[T]he first step in the revolution by the working class is to raise the proletariat to the level of ruling class to win the battle of democracy.”Of course democracy, i.e. socialism, would die in the sunlight, just like the vampire it is.
— Communist Manifesto, chapter 2
“What will be the course of this revolution? Above all, it will establish a democratic constitution, and through this, the direct or indirect dominance of the proletariat. […] Democracy would be wholly valueless to the proletariat if it were not immediately used as a means for putting through measures directed against private property and ensuring the livelihood of the proletariat.”
— The Principles of Communism
“[I]t is very clear that in fundamental theory, socialism and democracy are almost, if not quite, one and the same. They both rest at bottom upon the absolute right of the community to determine its own destiny and that of its members. Men as communities are supreme over men as individuals.”
— Woodrow Wilson, “Socialism and Democracy”
Won’t somebody please go back in time.and kill Woodrow Wilson’s parents before he is born.
