The people who cast the votes decide nothing; the people who count the votes decide everything.

I admit that I do not recall the speeches of Comrades [Earl] Browder and [Samuel] Darcy. I do not even recall of what they spoke. It is possible that they said something of this nature. But it was not the Soviet people who created the American Communist Party. It was created by Americans.

We built this [socialistic] society not for the curbing of personal liberty, but in order that human personalities should really feel free.

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

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.

Many understand "state socialism" in this way. Sometimes a system is concealed behind this term in which the capitalist state, in the interests of preparation for the conduct of war, takes upon itself the maintenance of a certain number of private enterprises.

Exported revolution is nonsense.
