In the following quotes, from a list of multiple answers, select who you think from whom and from which book did the following quotes originate from.

Question 1:

"As soon as the land of any country has all become private property, the landlords, like all other men, love to reap where they never sowed, and demand a rent."

A) Marx - Kapital

B) Lenin - What is to be Done?

C) Mao - Report on an Investigation of the Peasant Movement in Hunan

D) Adam Smith - Wealth of Nations

Question 2:

"The supersession of the bourgeois state by the proletarian state is impossible without a violent revolution. The abolition of the proletarian state, i.e., of the state in general, is impossible except through the process of “withering away". "

A) Marx & Engels - The Communist Manifesto

B) Lenin - The State and Revolution

C) Stalin - The Foundations of Leninism

D) Mao - On the People's Democratic Dictatorship

Question 3:

"A person who really takes pain to cultivate himself and to be a faithful pupil of the founders of Marxism-Leninism will lay special stress on maintaining the Marxist-Leninist stand and using the Marxist-Leninist viewpoint and method to solve the problems arising in the revolutionary movement lead by the proletariat, as the founders of Marxism-Leninism did. He will give no thought whatsoever to his own position or fame in the Party, nor will he ever claim to be a Marx or a Lenin, nor require nor expect others to have the same high respect for him as for Marx or Lenin, for he does not think he has any right to do so. Yet such a person will enjoy the considered respect and support of the mass of the Party members just because he acts in this way, because he is always honest and loyal, brave and firm, and shows great ability in the revolutionary struggle."

A) Quotations from Chairman Mao Tse-tung

B) Olgin - Why Communism? Plain Talks on Vital Problems

C) Stalin - The Foundations of Leninism

D) Liu - How to Be a Good Communist

Question 4:

"A committee from 42 organisations of starving Petrograd and Moscow workers is complaining about your inefficiency. I demand the maximum effort on your part, an end to a formal attitude to the work and the utmost assistance to the starving workers. In the event of failure, I shall be compelled to arrest the entire staff of your institutions and have them prosecuted. I have given urgent orders to increase the number of locomotives and trucks. You should immediately load the available two trains of 30 trucks each. Telegraph fulfilment."

"You are obliged to receive grain from the peasants day and night. If it is confirmed that you have not been accepting grain after 4 p.m. and compelling the peasants to wait until the morning, you will be shot."

A) Stalin

B) Trotsky

C) Lenin

D) Dzerzhinsky

Question 5:

"Take it aisy"

A) Marx

B) Mao

C) American rock band "The Eagles"

D) Engels

I am a mother of three children. After a long and painful displacement, we were left with nothing. We lost our home, our source of income, and every sense of safety and stability. We have no real shelter. The tents flood when it rains, and the tarps are torn apart by the wind. There is nothing to protect us from the cold. Winter is getting harsher, and we don’t have warm clothes or blankets for the children. Life here has become unbearable. There is no gas, no electricity, and no clean drinking water. Even salty water is difficult to find. Prices are extremely high, and every single day is a struggle just to survive. My children keep asking me, “When will we have a home again?” and I have no answer. We are trying to raise donations to help us escape this reality, rebuild our lives, and give our children a future where they can live with dignity and safety. Please, if you can help or even just share our story, it would mean the world to us. 🙏 Chuffed link: https://chuffed.org/project/172805-save-hala-and-her-children-in-gaza

Trending (thelemmy.club)

At the etymology site etymonline.com.

My wild hunch is students studying etymology and/or people learning English as a second language are creating the trending searches. But if I'm right - I have no explanation for "defloration".

As per the title, western press is starting to doom post about mass shortages of food and fuel in the coming months if the Epstein Coalition doesn't back down against Iran.

What if anything should we start stockpiling in anticipation of future shortages?

It's happening on every post and I'm wondering if I'm missing a lot of discussion elsewhere due to it.

You really can't answer that because they're not allowed to write slogans on their gear, which is rich, they can kill children but they can't put a curse word on a helmet.

Previous post has one unsolved name: Apsni. Comment under that post if you'd like to solve that name!

Like last time, most of these names should be incredibly easy, but you should spoiler your answers nonetheless.

Today's list includes:

  • 18 UN member countries
  • 3 colonies
  • 1 autonomous region in an ongoing independence process
  • = 22 names in total

Unsolved names are bolded.

Most of these should be pretty easy but you still may wish to spoiler your answers. Depending on how this goes I might share the B's tomorrow, and C~E the day after that, until I've gone through all the names I've come up with.

Today's list includes:

  • 3 continents
  • 9 UN member countries
  • 1 partially recognized non-UN member country
  • 4 colonies^[Perhaps I'm using this term a bit loosely. I'm thinking of territories that are politically, economically, militarily, and/or diplomatically subordinated to a geographically distant metropole/"mainland".]
  • 1 disputed territory
  • = 18 names in total

Unsolved names are bolded.
