Quote #7 on Political Struggle Quotes >> Oppression and The State
“Who is it -- throughout this endless procession of tortures which has been the history of the human race -- who is it that sheds the blood, always the same, relentlessly, without any pause for the sake of mercy? Governments, religions, industries, forced labor camps, all of these are drenched in blood.”
