It is difficult for me to imagine what "personal liberty" the unemployed can have who go hungry and cannot find utilization of their labor.

Everyone imposes his own system as far as his army can reach.

In a socialist society, everybody is obliged to work even though he is remunerated for his labor and not yet according to his needs, but according to the quantity and quality of the labor expended.

There is not, nor should there be, an irreconcilable contrast between the individual and the collective, between the interests of an individual person and the interests of the collective.

There are no fortresses that Bolsheviks cannot storm.

Political power does not rest with those who cast votes; political power rests with those who count votes.

Those who vote decide nothing. Those who count the vote decide everything.
