The programme of constitutional democracy ... was not native to India ... It was impossible for the Indian people or Indian politicians to leap at once into the saddle and administer an ideal constitution ... The right of British statesmen, public servants, merchants and industrialists to be in India today was the fact that they had made the India of today, and that no home rule or national movement could have been possible in India had it not been for their work.

I have said that the West Indian negro is not fit for complete democratic citizenship in a constitution of modern parliamentary form, and I should certainly hold the same opinion with respect to any African native community.

... it would be realised, when the time came for them to give up the seals of office, that they had not only been mindful of their responsibility, but had done nothing to weaken the position and prestige of this great empire.

... intended above all else to hand to their successors one thing when they gave up the seals of office and that was the general recognition of the fact that they were proud and jealous of, and were prepared to maintain, the empire.

In the same period of years, no Conservative or Liberal government has done more than we did to knit together the great Commonwealth of Nations which Britain calls her empire ... Far from wanting to lose our colonies, we are trying to keep them.

So far as the underlying spirit of imperialism is a frank acceptance of national duty exercised beyond the nation's political frontiers ... it cannot be condemned ... the compulsion to expand and to assume world responsibility is worthy at its origin.

Into the scarcity thus created in particular districts, in particular sections of the labour market, or in particular social strata, there rush the offspring of the less thrifty, the less intellectual, the less foreseeing of races and classes – the unskilled casual labourers of our great cities, the races of eastern or southern Europe, the negroes, the Chinese possibly resulting, as already in parts of the USA, in such a heterogeneous and mongrel population that democratic self-government, or even the effective application of the policy of a national minimum of civilised life, will become increasingly unattainable.

If anything like this happens, it is difficult to avoid the melancholy conclusion that, in some cataclysm that is impossible for us to foresee, that civilisation characteristic of the western European races may go the way of half a dozen other civilisations that have within historic times preceded it; to be succeeded by a new social order developed by one or other of the coloured races, the negro, the kaffir or the Chinese.

The bourgeoisie turns everything into a commodity, hence also the writing of history. It is part of its being, of its condition for existence, to falsify all goods: it falsified the writing of history. And the best — paid historiography is that which is best falsified for the purposes of the bourgeoisie.

- Hitler had a mandate from the forces of wild Western capitalism. However, when he went too far, they slapped him on the wrist. 100 years ago he was raised as a weapon against the Soviet Union. So that he destroys socialism. But the Soviet Union rose up against him and broke his back. The war, which is called World War II, was won by the Red Army of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, led by Joseph Stalin. This is the historical truth.
