5. Castro
- I began revolution with 82 men. If I had to do it again, I do it with 10 or 15 and absolute faith. It does not matter how small you are if you have faith and plan of action.
- We need tractors, not cadillacs!
- I find capitalism repugnant...it is filthy, it is gross, it is alienating for it causes war, hypocrisy and competition.

B.H. Liddell - historian

Weimar Germany:
"The threat from the revolutionary communists was grossly exaggerated" - Geoff Layton
"The goverment was incapable of incorporating the reichswehr, unable to either control it or win its unqualified allegiance" - Timothy Snyder
"The Kapp Putsch proved how fragile the democracy was" - Christopher Condon
Weimar's golden age "created the false idea of prosperity" - Geoff Layton
"Its normal state was crisis" - Gordon Craig
"Chance, Luck and tragic miscalculation were all major factors in Hitler's rise to power. There was nothing inevitable about his triumph in 1933" - Ian Kershaw
Nazi Germany:
on the SS "He regarded them as a purely political force, a band to strike terror in the streets against his political opponents"
- William L Shirer
"The one party totalitarian state had been achieved with hardly a ripple of opposition or defiance, and after 4 months the reichstag abdicated democratic responsibilities"
"The road to Auschwitz was built by hate but paved by indifference"
"Hitler was not a product of a "german special path", an inexorable product of long term german culture and ideology. Nor was he a mere accident in the course of german history."
