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.

You cannot make a revolution with silk gloves.

It was necessary, temporarily, to limit certain requirements, accumulate necessary means, strain forces. We acted precisely in this way and built a socialist society.

I have in mind repeated statements by Japanese military men containing threats against other states.

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.

The Soviet system will not evolve into American democracy or vice-versa.

American democracy and the Soviet system can exist simultaneously and compete peacefully. But one cannot develop into the other.
