Pim Fortuyn over het partijkartel

Al in De verweesde samenleving (1995), maar zeker ook in De puinhopen van acht jaar Paars (2002) identificeerde Pim Fortuyn wat tegenwoordig als het partijkartel wordt bestempeld (zie het kopje Terzijde: de herkomst van de term ‘partijkartel’ voor de herkomst van dit begrip). Het partijkartel is, grofweg gezegd: het elitaire clubje partijleden dat de macht en baantjes onderling verdeelt en andersdenkenden actief buitensluit van zowel deelname aan hun clubje als ook aan het maatschappelijk debat.

The goals of communism and the violent road thereto, written in The Communist Manifesto

Everyone who’s ever had a history lesson, is familiar with The Black Book of Communism, or knows how to access Wikipedia, knows that communism has caused milions of deaths, tens of millions of deaths even. Estimates range from 42 million up to 160 million deaths.

Marx and Engels made no secret of their ends, nor of their proposed methods to attain them.

In the beginning of the Manifesto, they state:

“It is high time that Communists should openly, in the face of the whole world, publish their views, their aims, their tendencies, and meet this nursery tale of the Spectre of Communism with a Manifesto of the party itself.”

And so they did.

Below follows a list of excerpts of The Communist Manifesto containing explicit statements about the goals set by communism and calls to or propagation of the violent methods they assessed needed to be used.
