"Privatization is a neoliberal and imperialist plan. Health can't be privatized because it is a fundamental human right, nor can education, water, electricity and other public services. They can't be surrendered to private capital that denies the people from their rights."
"Let the dogs of the empire bark, that's their job; ours is to battle to achieve the true liberation of our people."

"Fascists are not human. A snake is more human."
"Racism is very characteristic of imperialism and capitalism. Hate against me has a lot to do with racism. Because of my big mouth and curly hair. And I'm so proud to have this mouth and this hair, because it is African."
"Everyday I become more convinced, there is no doubt in my mind, and as many intellectuals have said, that it is necessary to transcend capitalism. But capitalism can't be transcended from with capitalism itself, but through socialism, true socialism, with equality and justice. I'm also convinced that it is possible to do it under democracy, but not in the type of democracy being imposed by Washington."
"Democracy is impossible in a capitalist system. Capitalism is the realm of injustice and a tyranny of the richest against the poorest."
"I am convinced that the path to a new, better and possible world is not capitalism, the path is socialism."
