“i am not a capitalist soldier; i am a proletarian revolutionist. i do not belong to the regular army of the plutocracy, but to the irregular army of the people. i refuse to obey any command to fight from the ruling class… i am opposed to every war but one; i am for that war with heart and soul, and that is the world-wide war of the social revolution. in that war i am prepared to fight in any way the ruling class may make necessary…”
