Why should freedom of speech and freedom of press be allowed? Why should a government which is doing what it believes to be right allow itself to be criticized? It would not allow opposition by lethal weapons. Ideas are much more fatal things than guns. Why should any man be allowed to buy a printing press and disseminate pernicious opinions calculated to embarrass the government?

No amount of political freedom will satisfy the hungry masses.

The most important thing when ill is to never lose heart.

All official and liberal science defends wage-slavery, whereas Marxism has declared relentless war on that slavery.

The war is relentless: it puts the alternative in a ruthless relief: either to perish, or to catch up with the advanced countries and outdistance them, too, in economic matters.

The soundest strategy in war is to postpone operations until the moral disintegration of the enemy renders the delivery of the mortal blow both possible and easy.

I don't care what becomes of Russia. To hell with it. All this is only the road to a World Revolution.
