I didn't become leader to transform the Liberal Democrats into an enlarged form of the Electoral Reform Society. It's not the be all and end all for us. There are other very very key ambitions in politics not least social mobility and life chances that I care about as passionately if not more.
Everybody in America is soft and hates conflict. The cure for this both in politics and social life is the same - hardihood. Give them raw truth.
Class struggle: external peace international solidarity peace among peoples. This is the sacred slogan of international socialist democracy that liberates nations.
It's to be a person who's able to shoot little arrows into sacred cows and knock politicians off their pedestals to look out for hypocrisy advocate for all sorts of things from social justice to peace.
The link between peace and stability on the one hand and social and economic growth on the other is dialectic. Peace poverty and backwardness cannot mix in one region.
Capitalism is war socialism is peace.
Another essential to a universal and durable peace is social justice.
I feel that my father's greatest legacy was the people he inspired to get involved in public service and their communities to join the Peace Corps to go into space. And really that generation transformed this country in civil rights social justice the economy and everything.
I came to the conclusion that in order to end racial barriers I needed to run for the office of the president and put forth an agenda of social justice and world peace. In addition I concluded that someone needed to run and challenge the liberal orthodoxy.
The meaning of peace is the absence of opposition to socialism.
I grew up with no money. My kids will grow up with a lot of money and so it's really important to me and it will always be a part of my parenting to keep them conscientious and connected socially to other people.
Since those who believe they need a hero/celebrity outnumber the actual heroes/celebrities people feel safe and comfortably justified in numbers committing egregious crimes in the name of the greater social ego. Ironically diminishing their own true hero-celebrity nature in the process.
There is little doubt that we are in the midst of a revolution of a much more profound and fundamental nature than the social and political revolutions of the last half century.
The most beautiful as well as the most ugly inclinations of man are not part of a fixed biologically given human nature but result from the social process which creates man.
For me making music is part social part interaction part collaboration.
I always preferred to hang out with the outcasts 'cause they were cooler they had better taste in music for one thing I guess because they had more time to develop one with the lack of social interaction they had!
The basis of our partnership strategy and our partnership approach: We build the social technology. They provide the music.
If it were the Clinton people they'd be sitting around figuring out how to pull themselves out. Instead the president is continuing to go around the country and peddling Social Security which the needle is not moving on.
I like the George Romero films which were really great social satire movies really twisted.
I loved it but social reality impeded. Now I wander in here at 9 in the morning or so and come back for a while in the afternoon. I am a very lenient boss.
I will check the internet for at least an hour every morning scanning worldwide news to do with child abuse. So if you're constantly putting yourself in an environment where you're checking up on social economics or homelessness problems if you keep yourself aware of it you don't really have a day off.
At the end of the day money is just a proxy for votes. That is what makes politics so vulnerable to social media.
They still have some money and they have needs to supply. They must begin immediately to pool their earnings and organize industries to participate in supplying social and economic demands.
The idea that a congressman would be tainted by accepting money from private industry or private sources is essentially a socialist argument.
