Famous quotes containing the words republic and/or day:

    “People think they have taken quite an extraordinarily bold step forward when they have rid themselves of belief in hereditary monarchy and swear by the democratic republic. In reality, however, the state is nothing but a machine for the oppression of one class by another, and indeed in the democratic republic no less than in the monarchy.”
    —Friedrich Engels (1820–1895)

    “Some day the workers will take possession of your city hall, and when we do, no child will be sacrificed on the altar of profit!”
    —Mother Jones (1830–1930)
