Bordiga quote

"In the name of a greater civilization, we curse those who for the sake of their ambitious dreams, brought about the massacre of so many young lives. No matter how brutal the crime, you will always get glorification of its heroism and tradition from the eunuchs of bourgeois culture." - Amadeo Bordiga

This was written just after World War II and it still remains as relevant as ever. The bourgeosie might blast away millions of beautiful young lives, but when the little Eichmanns blow their trumpets and summon stupid nationalisms and democracies, the pile of corpses suddenly turns into a glorious athenian monument - worthy of praise and wonder.
