Gaiety is the most outstanding feature of the Soviet Union.

In what do the activities of the Communist Parties consist? In what ways can they manifest themselves? These activities usually consist in the organization of working masses, in organizing meetings, demonstrations, strikes, etc. It is absolutely clear that American Communists cannot perform this in Soviet territory. The American workers are not in the U.S.S.R.

To slacken the tempo...would mean falling behind. And those who fall behind get beaten.

A certain inequality in regard to property still exists in a socialist society. But in a socialist society there is no unemployment, no exploitation, no oppression of nationalities.

American Communists have the opportunity to preach freely their ideas. It would be absolutely wrong to hold the Soviet government responsible for activities of the American Communists.

How do you expect the Germans to revolt when they don't even dare walk on the grass?

There are no fortresses that Bolsheviks cannot storm.
