önemli sorunlara ilişkin susmalarından yakınıyorsun, nedenini açığa vurmadıkları bu susuşları yaşamı sana zehir ediyor. Ama sen de bir köpeksin, sende de bu köpek bilgisi var, vursana işte açığa bunu, soru biçiminde değil de cevap olarak. Bunu açığa vurdun mu, kim sana karşı durabilir? O büyük köpek korosu çöküp yıkılacak , o zaman da işte istediğin kadar gerçek, istediğin kadar açıklık, bu basık yaşamın tavanı açılacak ve biz köpekler hep birden özgürlüğe doğru yükseleceğiz. Diyelim ki bu başarıya ulaşamadı. Şimdiye kadarkinden daha mı kötüleşecek durum?Niçin başkalarını susmalarından ötürü kınıyor, ama kendin susuyorsun?”

"Cevap kolay: Bir köpeğim de ondan. Tıpkı ötekiler gibi sımsıkı içine kapalı, kendi sorularına karşı duran, korkudan kaskatı bir köpek." ~Franz Kafka, 'Bir Köpeğin Araştırmaları'

"Every time a State wants to declare war upon another State, it starts off by launching a manifesto addressed not only to its own subjects but to the whole world. In this manifesto it declares that right and justice are on its side, and it endeavors to prove that it is actuated only by love of peace and humanity and that, imbued with generous and peaceful sentiments, it suffered for a long time in silence until the mounting iniquity of its enemy forced it to bare its sword. At the same time it vows that, disdainful of all material conquest and not seeking any increase in territory, it will put and end to this war as soon as justice is reestablished. And its antagonist answers with a similar manifesto, in which naturally right, justice, humanity, and all the generous sentiments are to be found respectively on its side....

Those mutually opposed manifestos are written with the same eloquence, they breathe the same virtuous indignation, and one is just as sincere as the other; that is to say both of them are equally brazen in their lies, and it is only fools who are deceived by them. Sensible persons, all those who have had some political experience, do not even take the trouble of reading such manifestos. On the contrary, they seek ways to uncover the interests driving both adversaries into this war, and to weigh the respective power of each of them in order to guess the outcome of the struggle. Which only goes to prove that moral issues are not at stake in such wars.”

"...Böyle vaziyetlerde insan harp heyacanını rasıt mevkiinden daha iyi duyuyor. İnsan evvala bombalarını atıyor, bunlar bittikten sonra canlı hedef görürse makineli tüfeğe müracaat ediyor. Dersim’de ilk bombardımanın heyecanını unutamam…
Muhasama (çarpışma) meydanında canlı hedef üzerine bomba atmak insana hiç acımak hissi vermiyor. İnsan yalnız vazifesini görmek için aramayı, vurmayı düşünüyor…"

What of Syria? Here, too, the mass uprising was genuine and reflected a desire for political change. Had Assad agreed to negotiations during the first six months and even later, there might have been a constitutional settlement. Instead, he embarked on a path of repression and the tragically familiar Sunni-Shia battle-lines were drawn (this divide a real triumph for the United States following the occupation of Iraq). Turkey, Qatar and the Saudis poured in weaponry and volunteers to their side, and the Iranians and Russians backed the other with weaponry.

Leigh Phillips tells the story of Cybersyn, Chile’s experiment in non-centralised economic planning which was cut short by the 1973 coup

"The story of Salvador Allende, president of the first ever democratically elected Marxist administration, who died when General Augusto Pinochet overthrew the young administration in a US-backed coup on 11 September, 1973, is well known amongst progressives. But the human rights horrors and tales of desaparecidos have eclipsed – quite understandably – the pioneering cybernetic planning work of the Chilean leader, his ministers and a British left-wing operations research scientist and management consultant named Stafford Beer. It was an ambitious, economy-wide experiment that has since been described as the ‘socialist internet’, an effort decades ahead of its time.”
