1 " The German experience brings us face to face with the major problem of the revolution in Western Europe. In these countries, the old bourgeois mode of production and the centuries-old civilisation which has developed with it have completely impressed themselves upon the thoughts and feelings of the popular masses. Hence, the mentality and inner character of the masses here is quite different from that in the countries of the East, who have not experienced the rule of bourgeois culture; and this is what distinguishes the different courses that the revolution has taken in the East and the West. "

2 " La révolution prolétarienne ne consiste pas seulement à détruire le pouvoir capitaliste. Elle exige aussi que l'ensemble de la classe ouvrière émerge de sa situation de dépendance et d'ignorance pour accéder à l'indépendance et pour bâtir un monde nouveau "
3 " What has been gained by hard fight in times of prosperity is often lost in times of depression. Unemployment was always the chief impediment to a continuous raising of the life standard of the working class. "
― Anton Pannekoek , Workers' Councils
4 " Un système de capitalisme d'État prit définitivement corps en Russie, non en déviant par rapport aux principes établis par Lénine -dans l'État et la Révolution par exemple- mais en s'y conformant. "
