"This is a racist and imperialist war. The warmongers who stole the White House (you call them "hawks", but I would never disparage such a fine bird) have hijacked a nation`s grief and turned it into a perpetual war on any non-white country they choose to describe as terrorist."

- Woody Harrelson

Bond is part of the system. He`s an imperialist and a misogynist, and he laughs at killing people, and he sits there slugging martinis.

- Matt Damon

The Bond character will always be anchored in the 1960s and in the values of the 1960s. It`s so anachronistic when you put it in the world we live in today that Mike Myers made a fortune with his own spy franchise (Austin Powers) - it makes for great comedy. Bond is an imperialist and a misogynist who kills people and laughs about it, and drinks martinis and cracks jokes. Bourne is a serial monogamist whose girlfriend is dead and he does nothing but think about her. He doesn`t have the support of gadgets, and he feels guilty for what he`s done.

- Matt Damon

Workers, comrades, and you, women of the people, let not this festival of May, the second during the war, pass without protest against the Imperialist Slaughter.

- Allen Holmes

The shift, by the Anglo-Dutch Liberals and their financier-oligarchical rivals and partners, away from emphasis on crown colonies to more or less global financier-oligarchical tyranny, is aptly reflected by a shift of emphasis to the essential predicates of imperialism (e.g., `permanent regime-change` and `permanent warfare`) from the emphasis on the optional predicate of colonial territory. In both variants, emphasis upon colony, and emphasis on globalized financier-oligarchical power, the sovereign nation-state is the adversary which the imperialist must continually move to subvert and destroy.
