"...the workers must be armed and organized. The arming of the whole proletariat with flintlocks, carbines, guns and ammunition must be put in hand directly"
Karl Marx -- Address of the Central Committee to the Communist League, March 1850
"None but an armed nation can dispense with a standing army. To keep ours armed and disciplined is therefore at all times important, but especially so at a moment when rights the most essential to our welfare have been violated."
Thomas Jefferson, Private Letter, 1803
"For a people who are free and who mean to remain so, a well-organized and armed militia is their best security.
It is, therefore, incumbent on us at every meeting [of Congress] to revise the condition of the militia and to ask ourselves if it is prepared to repel a powerful enemy at every point of our territories exposed to invasion...
Congress alone have power to produce a uniform state of preparation in this great organ of defense. "
Thomas Jefferson: 8th Annual Message, 1808.
"There are no circumstances imaginable, not even victory, under which the proletariat should give up its possession of arms."
Karl Marx
