"Freedom only for the supporters of the government, only for the members of one party-however numerous they may be-is no freedom at all. Freedom is always and exclusively freedom for the one who thinks differently."

— Rosa Luxemburg (1871-1919), Polish-born German communist, in The Russian Revolution (1922)
