The future belongs to the socialism which is democratic, to the democracy which is socialist. ~ Wilhelm Liebknecht
Democratic Socialism quotes by Wilhelm Liebknecht
For 70 years Democrats bitterly denied being "socialists". Bernie Sanders has done the service of exposing them. ~ A.E. Samaan
Democratic Socialism quotes by A.E. Samaan
Democracy is not compatible with capitalism but is congruent with a version of democratic socialism in which the wealth, resources, and benefits of a social order are shared in an equitable and just manner. ~ Henry Giroux
Democratic Socialism quotes by Henry Giroux
Democratic Socialism is simply Totalitarianism that allows you the illusion of a voice in the matter. ~ A.E. Samaan
Democratic Socialism quotes by A.E. Samaan
Have you ever played Monopoly? It's a board game designed to teach kids capitalism. And what happens in the end? The winner has all the money, and everyone else has nothing. Woohoo! So much fun! That's literally how America works. That's why there are a few super rich people who own almost everything, and tens of millions of dirt poor people who have nothing. ~ Oliver Markus Malloy
Democratic Socialism quotes by Oliver Markus Malloy
The Marxist promise that the state will "wither away" is like the guys promise that he will only insert the tip. ~ A.E. Samaan
Democratic Socialism quotes by A.E. Samaan
It is amazing how desperately the self-proclaimed revolutionaries grope for their own orthodoxy. ~ A.E. Samaan
Democratic Socialism quotes by A.E. Samaan
Democratic Socialism devolves into totalitarian Socialism and eventually into full on Communism as people resist statism. ~ A.E. Samaan
Democratic Socialism quotes by A.E. Samaan
All Socialism is Democratic Socialism. Socialist nations take away civil liberties by referendum. ~ A.E. Samaan
Democratic Socialism quotes by A.E. Samaan
It is a fact that any rich man, unless he is a Jew, has less to fear from Fascism than from either Communism or democratic Socialism. ~ George Orwell
Democratic Socialism quotes by George Orwell
In another dimension, the three most popular social ideas of Indust-reality--democracy, socialism, and anarchism--have a family resemblance, despite their differences. All represent what Arlen Riley Wilson has called "Stone Age Backlash." That is, as Imperialism spread, more Stone Age "Partnership Societies" were discovered and they set the intelligentsia to thinking ferociously, as the French say. Democracy, socialism and anarchy all represent various persons' ideas of how to re-create Partnership Society within the context of an expanding technological world. This explains the various attempts to blend them: Democratic Socialism; Mutualist Anarchism; Libertarian (anti-State) Marxist heresies, etc. ~ Robert Anton Wilson
Democratic Socialism quotes by Robert Anton Wilson
Every line of serious work that I have written since 1936 has been written, directly or indirectly against totalitarianism and for democratic Socialism as I understand it. ~ George Orwell
Democratic Socialism quotes by George Orwell
Capitalism is cruelty for money. ~ Oliver Markus Malloy
Democratic Socialism quotes by Oliver Markus Malloy
What if the Soviet intervention was a blessing in disguise? It saved the myth that if the Soviets were not to intervene, there would have been some flowering authentic democratic socialism and so on. I'm a little bit more of a pessimist there. I think that the Soviets - it's a very sad lesson - by their intervention, saved the myth. ~ Slavoj Zizek
Democratic Socialism quotes by Slavoj Zizek
Idealistic? Ruddy stupid, if you'll pardon the language, miss,: Mr Roberts said. "All this talk about power for the people and down with the ruling classes and everyone should govern themselves. It can never happen, I told him. The ruling classes are born to rule. They know how to do it. You take a person like you or me and you put us up there to run a country and we'd make a ruddy mess of it. ~ Rhys Bowen
Democratic Socialism quotes by Rhys Bowen
Socialism is the only political form that has democratic values. ~ Mwanandeke Kindembo
Democratic Socialism quotes by Mwanandeke Kindembo
I did a lot of reading. I read about democratic socialism. And I read about the efforts of people for such a long time trying to create a society in which all people can live with dignity. And that's kind of what I believe. ~ Bernie Sanders
Democratic Socialism quotes by Bernie Sanders
Televangelists preach a corrupted perversion of Christ's socialist teachings. Prosperity gospel is predatory capitalism masquerading as religion. ~ Oliver Markus Malloy
Democratic Socialism quotes by Oliver Markus Malloy
North Korea, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, isn't democratic. The Nazis, the National Socialists, weren't socialists. And America isn't the land of the free. It's all just clever nationalist marketing. ~ Oliver Markus Malloy
Democratic Socialism quotes by Oliver Markus Malloy
The purpose of a democratic government is to protect the poor from the rich. The purpose of religion is to protect the rich from the poor. ~ Oliver Markus Malloy
Democratic Socialism quotes by Oliver Markus Malloy
My intention in this book is to prove that one single voice, with the right words, can have the roar of a million and can influence the world by creating a precise understanding of democratic socialism - or to be more precise and use the latest terminology, "universal welfare society. ~ Mikkel Clair Nissen
Democratic Socialism quotes by Mikkel Clair Nissen
There is plenty of time for Republicans to have a Macaca moment. But right now, as of October 17, 2014, the Republican Senate candidates have performed better than they have in years. For the moment, today, as you read this, the Democratic candidates are the jokes. ~ Matthew Continetti
Democratic Socialism quotes by Matthew Continetti
If image is everything, how can the Democratic presidential hopefuls compete with a President fresh from a war victory. ~ Judy Woodruff
Democratic Socialism quotes by Judy Woodruff
Companies that are willing to share, to withhold in order to further the growth of the company, willing to try to get a better atmosphere through a demonstration of democratic principles, fairness and cooperation, a better product, those will win in the end. ~ E. O. Wilson
Democratic Socialism quotes by E. O. Wilson
Customers came - whites, Negroes and Latin Americans. Well-dressed tourists mingled with the derelicts of the quarter. When we shined their shoes we talked. The whites, especially the tourists, had no reticence before us, and no shame since we were Negroes. Some wanted to know where they could find girls, wanted us to get Negro girls for them. We learned to spot these from the moment they sat down, for they were immediately friendly and treated us with the warmth and courtesy of equals. I mentioned this to Sterling. "Yeah, when they want to sin, they're very democratic," he said. ~ John Howard Griffin
Democratic Socialism quotes by John Howard Griffin
It is extremely difficult to obtain a hearing from men living in democracies, unless it be to speak to them of themselves. They do not attend to the things said to them, because they are always fully engrossed with the things they are doing. For indeed few men are idle in democratic nations; life is passed in the midst of noise and excitement, and men are so engaged in acting that little remains to them for thinking. I would especially remark that they are not only employed, but that they are passionately devoted to their employments. They are always in action, and each of their actions absorbs their faculties: the zeal which they display in business puts out the enthusiasm they might otherwise entertain for idea. ~ Alexis De Tocqueville
Democratic Socialism quotes by Alexis De Tocqueville
The only working model of socialism I have ever seen is in an elementary school classroom. ~ R.M. ArceJaeger
Democratic Socialism quotes by R.M. ArceJaeger
Blue Dogs have always acted in a bipartisan way. The Blue Dogs were the group in the Democratic side of the aisle that really pushed for the welfare-reform package that ultimately was signed into law in 1996. ~ Jim Matheson
Democratic Socialism quotes by Jim Matheson
Man is comprised of an organism, which is to say an organised form, and of vital forces, as well as a soul. The same may be said of a people. The national construction of a state, while taking account of all three elements, for various reasons of qualification and heredity can nevertheless be chiefly based upon a single one of these elements.

In my opinion, in the Fascist movement it is the state element that prevails, coinciding with organised force. What finds expression here is the shaping power of ancient Rome, that master of law and political organisation, the purest heirs to which are the Italians. National Socialism emphasises what is connected to vital forces: race, racial instinct, and the ethical and national element. The Romanian Legionary movement instead chiefly stresses what in a living organism corresponds to the soul: the spiritual and religious aspect.

This is the reason for the distinctive character of each national movement, although ultimately all three elements are taken into account, and none is overlooked. The specific character of our movement derives from our distant heritage. Already Herodotus called our forefathers "the immortal Dacians". Our Geto-Thracian ancestors, even before Christianity, already had faith in the immortality and indestructibility of the soul – something which proves their spiritual drive. Roman colonisation introduced the Roman sense of organisation and form. Later centuries made our people miserable and di ~ Corneliu Zelea Codreanu
Democratic Socialism quotes by Corneliu Zelea Codreanu
In their day, Marx, Engels, Lenin, and Stalin represented the aspirations and demands of the exploited working masses, and the cause of socialism was inseparably linked with their names. ~ Kim Jong Il
Democratic Socialism quotes by Kim Jong Il
New things always have to experience difficulties and setbacks as they grow. It is sheer fantasy to imagine that the cause of socialism is all plain sailing and easy success, without difficulties and setbacks or the exertion of tremendous efforts. ~ Mao Zedong
Democratic Socialism quotes by Mao Zedong
It is not enough to profess faith in the democratic process; we must do something about it. ~ Ella T. Grasso
Democratic Socialism quotes by Ella T. Grasso
Socialism cannot function, because its economic reward structure is contrary to human nature. ~ Frans De Waal
Democratic Socialism quotes by Frans De Waal
So we want an Islamic state where Islamic law is not just in the books but enforced, and enforced with determination. There is no space and no room for democratic consultation. The Shariah is set and fixed, so why do we need to discuss it anymore? Just implement it! ~ Abu Bakar Bashir
Democratic Socialism quotes by Abu Bakar Bashir
As political theorist Michael Parenti points out, historians often overlook Fascism's economic agenda
the partnership between Big Capital and Big Government
in their analysis of its authoritarian social program. Indeed, according to Bertram Gross in his startlingly prescient Friendly Fascism (1980), it is possible to achieve fascist goals within an ostensibly democratic society. ~ Richard Heinberg
Democratic Socialism quotes by Richard Heinberg
Democrat leaders are not only out of the American mainstream, but are also out of the Democratic mainstream. ~ Virginia Foxx
Democratic Socialism quotes by Virginia Foxx
Hillary Clinton is now poised to become the Democratic nominee for president of the United States, but she simply lacks the integrity and temperament to serve in the office. ~ Gary J. Byrne
Democratic Socialism quotes by Gary J. Byrne
What the hell is the sense of trying to hold the Democratic party together, if it's really a party of expediency, something that's put together every four years? ~ Hunter S. Thompson
Democratic Socialism quotes by Hunter S. Thompson
Those looking from Europe see Turkey as an economic success, whereas others from the Middle East see Turkey as a democratic success. ~ Ali Babacan
Democratic Socialism quotes by Ali Babacan
I will carry on the torch of reviving Japan that the Democratic Party received from the people. ~ Naoto Kan
Democratic Socialism quotes by Naoto Kan
The government has a defect: it's potentially democratic. Corporations have no defect: they're pure tyrannies. ~ Noam Chomsky
Democratic Socialism quotes by Noam Chomsky
But the press, instead of reporting on these shared and often boundary-crossing views as an asset for the Democratic Party - after all, Democratic voters would have to unify around one of these candidates eventually - responded with disappointment and even condescension. They seemed to want newsworthy division. Soon frustrated reporters were creating conflict by turning any millimeter of difference between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama into a mile. Since there was almost none in content, they emphasized ones of form. Clinton was entirely summed up by sex, and Obama was entirely summed up by race. Journalists sounded like sports fans who arrived for a football game and were outraged to find all the players on the same team. ~ Gloria Steinem
Democratic Socialism quotes by Gloria Steinem
Sweden is an open, liberal, secular and democratic country. We strive towards achieving equality; we are forward-looking and refuse to be pulled back by social constructs such as religion. ~ Bjorn Ulvaeus
Democratic Socialism quotes by Bjorn Ulvaeus
Barcelona has always been more a city of capital and labor than of nobility and commoners; its democratic roots are old and run very deep. Its medieval charter of citizens' rights, the Usatges, grew from a nucleus which antedated the Magna Carta by more than a hundred years. Its government, the Consell de Cent (Council of One Hundred), had been the oldest protodemocratic political body in Spain. ~ Robert Hughes
Democratic Socialism quotes by Robert Hughes
The rule apparently is – once a social revolution takes place there's
no need to stoke the boiler. But I ask you: why, when this whole business started, should everybody suddenly start clumping up and down the marble staircase in dirty galoshes and felt boots? Why must we now keep our galoshes under lock and key? And put a soldier on guard over them to prevent them from being stolen? Why has the carpet been removed from the front staircase? Did Marx forbid people to keep their staircases carpeted? Did Karl Marx say anywhere
that the front door of No. 2 Kalabukhov House in Prechistenka Street must be boarded up so that people have to go round and come in by the back door? What good does it do anybody? Why can't the proletarians leave their galoshes downstairs instead of dirtying the staircase?'
'But the proletarians don't have any galoshes, Philip Philipovich,' stammered the doctor. ~ Mikhail Bulgakov
Democratic Socialism quotes by Mikhail Bulgakov
It seems to me that obliviousness about white advantage, like obliviousness about male advantage, is kept strongly inculturated in the United States so as to maintain the myth of meritocracy, the myth that democratic choice is equally available to all. Keeping most people unaware that freedom of confident action is there for just a small number of people props up those in power and serves to keep power in the hands of the same groups that have most of it already. ~ Peggy McIntosh
Democratic Socialism quotes by Peggy McIntosh
The political terms 'will' and 'popular will' have a long track record in Western history going back to Rousseau. That record is profoundly anti-democratic, essentially inviting elites to interpret what the common people believe and want. In litigious modern America, that would be a judicial elite telling us how we meant to vote or should have voted. ~ John Leo
Democratic Socialism quotes by John Leo
The only social change presented by most SF has been towards authoritarianism, the domination of ignorant masses by a powerful elite - sometimes presented as a warning, but often quite complacently. Socialism is never considered as an alternative, and democracy is quite forgotten. Military virtues are taken as ethical ones. Wealth is assumed to be a righteous goal and a personal virtue. Competitive free-enterprise capitalism is the economic destiny of the entire Galaxy. In general, American SF has assumed a permanent hierarchy of superiors and inferiors, with rich, ambitious, aggressive males at the top, then a great gap, and then at the bottom the poor, the uneducated, the faceless masses, and all the women. ~ Ursula K. Le Guin
Democratic Socialism quotes by Ursula K. Le Guin
Under the present dispensation, the great majority of factories are little despotisms, benevolent in some cases, malevolent in others. Even where benevolence prevails, passive obedience is demanded by the workers, who are ruled by overseers, not of their own election, but appointed from above. In theory they may be the subjects of a democratic state; but in practice they spend the whole of their working lives as the subjects of a petty tyrant. ~ Aldous Huxley
Democratic Socialism quotes by Aldous Huxley
Democratic societies are unfit for the publication of such thunderous revelations as I am in the habit of making. ~ Salvador Dali
Democratic Socialism quotes by Salvador Dali
Both Marx and Nietzsche understood that moral outrage is the last resort of the powerless. That is why Marx refused to issue moral condemnations of capitalism, preferring instead to lay out, calmly and ruthlessly, his reasons for believing that it is destined to be replaced by socialism. And that is why Nietzsche mocks Christianity for portraying its crucified Saviour as bait wriggling on a hook to catch unsuspecting souls. ~ Robert Paul Wolff
Democratic Socialism quotes by Robert Paul Wolff
Even if corners were cut, (Iran-Contra) was a brilliant scheme. There is no possibility that anyone in any Democratic administration would have gone to such lengths to fund anti-Communist forces. When Democrats scheme from the White House, it's to cover up the President's affair with an intern. When Republicans scheme, it's to support embattled anti-Communist freedom fighters sold out by the Democrats. ~ Ann Coulter
Democratic Socialism quotes by Ann Coulter
It's not just Israel who refuses to speak to Hamas. It's the whole international community ... Most of the democratic world refuses to have a relationship with Hamas because Hamas has refused to meet the most minimal benchmarks of international behavior. ~ Mark Regev
Democratic Socialism quotes by Mark Regev
There is something reassuring about the toilets. Bodily functions at least remain democratic. Everybody shits. ~ Margaret Atwood
Democratic Socialism quotes by Margaret Atwood
I think changing the Democratic Party platform [at the convention] is a great place to start. It should include expanding Social Security, a $15 minimum wage, and breaking up too-big-to-fail banks on Wall Street - among other Sanders priorities. ~ Ben Wikler
Democratic Socialism quotes by Ben Wikler
It is the political task of the social scientist - as of any liberal educator - continually to translate personal troubles into public issues, and public issues into the terms of their human meaning for a variety of individuals. It is his task to display in his work - and, as an educator, in his life as well - this kind of sociological imagination. And it is his purpose to cultivate such habits of mind among the men and women who are publicly exposed to him. To secure these ends is to secure reason and individuality, and to make these the predominant values of a democratic society. ~ C. Wright Mills
Democratic Socialism quotes by C. Wright Mills
