The nearer the [political] economists come to the present time, the further they depart from honesty… This is why Ricardo, for instance, is more guilty than Adam Smith, and McCulloch and Mill more guilty than Ricardo. - F Engels "Outlines of a Critique of Political Economy" 1843

The end-of-ideology is very largely a mechanical reaction—not a creative response—to the ideology of Stalinism. As such it takes from its opponent something of its inner quality. - C. Wright Mills "Letter to the New Left" (1960)

The only thing that [Rosa Luxemburg’s “The Accumulation of Capital”] does not do is to ‘solve’ imperialism, which, as she well knew, was essentially a domestic and not a colonial problem. - J.P. Nettl marxists.org/history/etol/n…

Our first theoretical conference is being held on the 27th of September. We are going to be discussing a variety of topics with a whole range of speakers, and it is going to be a really excellent opportunity to get to grips with the debates in the contemporary socialist movement.

Debs: "We cannot hope to succeed by violence." "I am opposed to violence, bloodshed, and retaliation on principle. I do not believe in the eye for an eye policy. ... If revolution comes, of course blood will flow, but let the capitalists make it, not us." Chicago, Sept. 19, 1897
