"Suatu program "pelucutan senjata," sementara antagonisme imperialis bertahan, adalah fiksi yang paling merusak. Sekalipun itu diwujudkan melalui kesepakatan umum - sebuah asumsi yang jelas fantastis! - itu tidak berarti mencegah perang baru. Kaum imperialis tidak berperang karena ada persenjataan; sebaliknya, mereka menempa senjata saat mereka perlu bertarung."

--- Leon Trotsky

Versi Bahasa Inggris

A program of "disarmament," while imperialist antagonisms survive, is the most pernicious of fictions. Even if it were realized by way of general agreement - an obviously fantastic assumption!- that would by no means prevent a new war. The imperialists do not make war because there are armaments; on the contrary, they forge arms when they need to fight.
