    Leon Trotsky (2008). “History of the Russian Revolution”, p.605, Haymarket Books
  • Christians living in a democracy should always vote if they can.

True democracy obtains only when the people - women, men, young people, children - have the ability to change the system of industrial capitalism that has oppressed them since the earliest days of slavery: a system based on class division, patriarchy, and military might, a hierarchical system that subjugates people merely because they are born poor, or female, or dark-skinned.

The parliament will, as far as shall be necessary, then reform itself.

  • There are cycles in American politics. US cycles are even more pronounced because we Americans have a totally entrepreneurial presidential system. We don't have parliamentary opposition parties with a shadow prime minister and shadow cabinets. Every four years, the opposition reinvents itself.

    Benjamin Disraeli's speech in the House of Commons, August 30, 1848.
