"As revolutionaries, we don't have the right to say that we're tired of explaining. We must never stop explaining. We also know that when the people understand, they cannot but follow us. In any case, we, the people, have no enemies when it comes to peoples. Our only enemies are the imperialist regimes and organizations." Thomas Sankara, 1985

Just imagine the changes in China this man has seen. I'd be willing to bet no other person in history has seen their country advance at such a level as this guy.

And generally somebody who was with the legendary chairman still living to this day just boggles my mind. RIP comrade
