Jeremy Corbyn

I’m not a dictator who writes things to tell people what to do.

[no the rich] quite happy to pay more tax to fund better public services or to pay down our debt.

This debate is now about injustice and inequality. Two years ago, it would have been about benefits scroungers. We’ve changed the language and changed the mood. Labour is in good heart.

I don’t respond in any way to personal abuse that is thrown at me.

We’re going to be campaigning on issues of social justice and poverty, you will be seeing a lot of me.

I’ve made it clear my views on austerity and I’ve made it very clear my views on the Iraq War. And I promised that I would, and I did, give the apology on the anniversary of Iraq, and I stand by that, because I think it was a catastrophic mistake.

Any dictator would admire the uniformity and obedience of the U.S. media.

There’s an array of terms of abuse [in the U.S.], like “Marxist,” but it doesn’t matter really, it’s a very free society. So if you’re vilified by some commissars, who cares, you go on-you do your work anyway.

To the extent that Trump’s programs are coherent, they fall into the same general category of those of Paul Ryan, who has granted us the kindness of spelling them out: increase spending on the military…and cut back taxes, mainly on the rich, with no new revenue sources.

I stand for anti-bigotry, anti-Semitism, and anti-racism.

Political necessities sometime turn out to be political mistakes.

Don’t just get involved. Fight for your seat at the table. Better yet, fight for a seat at the head of the table.

The Revolution… was the result of a mature and reflecting preference for freedom, and not of a vague or ill-defined craving for independence.

Our Red Army now needs IL-2 aircraft like the air it breathes, like the bread it eats.

Revolution can never be forecast; it cannot be foretold; it comes of itself. Revolution is brewing and is bound to flare up.

Russia does not have in its possession any trustworthy data that supports the existence of nuclear weapons or any weapons of mass destruction in Iraq and we have not received any such information from our partners as yet.

Protest actions and propaganda are two slightly different things.

I think we should not control the Internet.

If what you have done yesterday still looks big to you, you haven’t done much today.

Scholars per se do not have deeper political insights than other persons and are not morally superior to others. But they are obligated to help politicians seek and find the truth.

Anyone can be a moral individual, concerned with human rights and problems; but only a college professor, a trained expert, can solve technical problems by ‘sophisticated’ methods. Ergo, it is only problems of the latter sort that are important or real.
