“Between the Christianity of this land and the Christianity of Christ, I
recognize the widest possible difference—so wide that to receive the one as
good, pure, and holy, is of necessity to reject the other as bad, corrupt, and
wicked. To be the friend of the one is of necessity to be the enemy of the
other. I love the pure, peaceable, and impartial Christianity of Christ; I
therefore hate the corrupt, slave-holding, women-whipping, cradle-plundering,
partial and hypocritical Christianity of this land. Indeed, I can see no reason
but the most deceitful one for calling the religion of this land Christianity…”
—Frederick Douglass
“The slave is sold once and for all; the proletarian must sell himself daily
and hourly.”
—Friedrich Engels, “The Principles of Communism”
