"We built [socialistic society] for the sake..." - Quote by Joseph Stalin

“We don't let them have ideas. Why would we let them have guns?”

“It is not heroes that make history, but history that makes heroes.”

“Gaiety is the most outstanding feature of the Soviet Union.”

“The only thing for which we can combine is the underlying ideal of Socialism; justice and liberty. But it is hardly strong enough to call this ideal underlying. It is almost completely forgotten. It has been buried beneath layer after layer of doctnaire priggishness, party squabbles and half-backed progressivism until it is like a diamond hidden under a monition of dung. The job of the Socialist is to get it out again. Justice and liberty! Those are the words that have got to ring like a bugle across the world.”

“One of the traditional methods of imposing statism or socialism on a people has been by way of medicine.”

“We're not a socialist country, because the socialists believe in government ownership in the means of production, but the fascists believe that the government should have private ownership and the politicians should tell people how to run the businesses. So that's the route we seem to be going.”

“I believe that the heaviest blow ever dealt at liberty's head will be dealt by this nation in the ultimate failure of its example to the earth.”

“You cannot tear up ancient rootages and safely plant the tree of liberty in soil that is not native to it.”

“We've gone astray from first principles. We've lost sight of the rule that individual freedom and ingenuity are at the very core of everything that we've accomplished. Government's first duty is to protect the people, not run their lives.”
