    —George Orwell (1903–1950)

    “The history of all countries shows that the working class exclusively by its own effort is able to develop only trade-union consciousness.”
    —Vladimir Ilyich Lenin (1870–1924)

    “This above all makes history useful and desirable: it unfolds before our eyes a glorious record of exemplary actions.”
