"Those who are leftists, once in power, are not different from other parties"

- Ahmed Ben Bella

About this Quote

Ahmed Ben Bella's quote recommends that those who recognize as leftists, or those who are politically left-leaning, are not fundamentally various from other political celebrations once they are in power. This indicates that the worths and concepts of the left-wing are not always maintained when those who identify as leftists are in positions of power. This could be translated as a criticism of the left-wing, as it suggests that those who are in power are not always real to their beliefs. It might likewise be interpreted as an alerting to those who are left-leaning, as it recommends that they ought to be wary of those who are in power, despite their political association. Ultimately, Ben Bella's quote works as a pointer that power can corrupt, which those in power ought to be held accountable for their actions.
