Incendiary capitalism is carrying its out evil works more dangerously than ever, and is doing so in the increasingly dangerous neighborhood of the powder kegs that are the great European military powers.

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

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

This republic represents the greatest basis for that universal socialist order, the creation of which is at the present time the historic task of the International Proletariat.

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

The aim of my life is the overthrow of monarchy.

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

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.

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

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

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