| | Modern History Sourcebook: Mussolini: What is Fascism, 1932 |
 | | ...The Fascist accepts life and loves it, knowing nothing of and despising suicide: he rather conceives of life as duty and struggle and conquest, but above all for others -- those who are at hand and those who are far distant, contemporaries, and those who will come after... | | | ...The Fascist State organizes the nation, but leaves a sufficient margin of liberty to the individual; the latter is deprived of all useless and possibly harmful freedom, but retains what is essential; the deciding power in this question cannot be the individual, but the State alone.... | | | All other trials are substitutes, which never really put men into the position where they have to make the great decision -- the alternative of life or death.... |

| | VHeadline.com - Franz J. T. Lee -- Venezuela: From Revolution to Emancipation |
| | The early, original Christians, terrorized by Nero and Caligula, were communists; famous French historians spoke about the class struggle long before Marx was born, even Bishop Kingsley of Britain spoke about religion as "the opium of the people," long before the Communist Manifesto was written. | | | Because of their eternal megalomania, the conquerors, the Conquest, the "Opposition" (see April 11, 2002, in Caracas), the ruling classes decide the violent ways and means of authentic class struggles. | | | Revolution itself is a social class invention, a bourgeois, democratic, capitalist "discovery," was produced in the womb of a specific mode of production, feudalism, based on a specific types of material energy, within the trans-historic process of Labor, of History. |

| | CPGB Revisionism Part 2. |
| | After the 12th Congress of the CPGB in 1932, militant struggle to expose the Labour Party was not revived until the out-break of the 2nd World War and Harry Pollitt's removal from the position of General Secretary. | | | It was only at the 11th Congress that the CPGB adopted a line in ernest of opposition to the Labour Party, characterizing it as a social fascist party. | | | That the CPGB should have forgotten, or indeed never grasped, the elementary principles spelt out in the Communist Manifesto nearly one hundred years previous, shows that years of placing short term gain before long term aims, the essence of opportunism, was at the root of the degeneration of the CPGB. |

| | Amazon.co.uk: Starship Troopers: Books |
| | But in "Starship Troopers" we have a flirtation with the centralisation of the Fascist State - the adolescent is saved from teenage irresponsibility by becoming a man, brainwashed into the automaton status of a robotic fighting machine. | | | The most interesting feature of Starship Troopers is its fascinating glimpse into America's struggle for a post-war identity, told as a heroic tale of interstellar conflict. | | | First published in 1959, "Starship Troopers" is a fine example of the writing of Robert Heinlein, and one of the classics of science fiction despite its being written at the cusp of the author's political change. |

| | Swans Commentary: Ward Churchill's "On the Justice of Roosting Chickens," by Ken Freeland - kenfre01 |
| | It tolls for the myths of American innocence, that for too long have served as a fig leaf for some of the most perfidious foreign intervention in the annals of human history and for what intellectuals are coming to refer to as the apologetic politics of "fascist-liberals." Good riddance! | | | This truth, no matter its inconvenience to those snugly situated within the comfort zones of political pretense, is all that defines the substance of meaningful struggle. | | | There is no painless, privilege-preserving pill that can be taken to effect a quick fix of what ails the U.S., no petition, no manifesto, no song or candle-lit vigil that will suffice. |

| | Li Fu-jen: End of the Chinese Soviets (1938) |
| | It consisted in the expulsion of the Chinese Red Army from Kiangsi, the virtual extinction of the Chinese Soviet Republic which had its seat there, and – on the international arena – the growing isolation of the Soviet Union in a sea of fascist and military states. | | | “The Chinese Communist Party, realizing that the principles of Sun Yat-sen are indispensable to the reconstruction of China, has decided to abandon all measures aimed at the overthrow of the Kuomintang government by force, propagation of Communist doctrines and the forcible expropriation of the land,” the committee’s manifesto declared. | | | The Chinese bourgeoisie and its government are quite incapable, principally because of their ties with imperialism and their fear of the masses, of carrying the war to a successful conclusion. |
