Frederick Douglass

"Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did, and it never will. Find out just what people will submit to, and you have found out the exact amount of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them..." Frederick Douglass

Quote O' The Day, May 28, 2011

Statement of the Committee of the Garde National, April 3, 1871, the Commune of Paris:

Workers, do not be deceived. This is the great struggle. It is parasitism versus labor, exploitation versus production that are at stake. If you are tired of vegetating in ignorance and coughing in misery, if you want your sons to be men and not types of animals reared for the factory and the battlefield, if you no longer want your daughters...to be the instruments of pleasure in the hands of the aristocracy of wealth, if you would like to see the reign of Justice--workers, arise!
