It is difficult for me to imagine what "personal liberty" is enjoyed by an unemployed person, who goes about hungry, and cannot find employment.

We Marxists believe that a revolution will also take place in other countries. But it will take place only when the revolutionaries in those countries think it possible, or necessary. The export of revolution is nonsense. Every country will make its own revolution if it wants to, and if it does not want to, there will be no revolution.

American democracy and the Soviet system may peacefully exist side by side and compete with each other. But one cannot evolve into the other.

War may break out unexpectedly. Wars are not declared, nowadays. They simply start.

It would be quite wrong to hold the Soviet government responsible for the activities of American Communists.

Capitalism, in its imperialist phase, is a system which considers war to be a legitimate instrument for settling international disputes, a legal method in fact, if not in law.

Of course, Soviet people would like to see the face of surrounding states changed, but that is the business of the surrounding states.
