What is called a republic, is not any particular form of government… it is naturally opposed to the word monarchy, which means arbitrary power

I hope I’m in a position to make stuff that I really want to make as opposed to stuff that I just have to make for money reasons, or to sustain a certain marquee value.

We should support whatever the enemy opposes whatever the enemy supports.

History shows that wars are divided into two kinds, just and unjust. All wars that are progressive are just, and all wars that impede progress are unjust. We Communists oppose all unjust wars that impede progress, but we do not oppose progressive, just wars. Not only do we Communists not oppose just wars; we actively participate in them.

We shall support whatever our enemies oppose and oppose whatever our enemies support.

I would be opposed to any kind of totalitarian control.
