I see in Communism the focus of the concentrated evil of our time.

Human societies, like human beings, live by faith and die when faith dies.

In the United States, the working class are Democrats. The middle class are Republicans. The upper class are Communists.

Trotsky was essentially a Western mind. Lenin was a Russian, and unlike most other revolutionary exiles, wherever he went he was a Russian.

It is popular to call it a crisis of the Western world. It is in fact a crisis of the whole world. Communism, which claims to be a solution of the crisis, is itself a symptom and an irritant of the crisis.

At issue in the Hiss Case was the question whether this sick society, which we call Western civilization, could in its extremity still cast up a man whose faith in it was so great that he would voluntarily abandon those things which men hold good, including life, to defend it.

No, those ears were not created by any chance coming together of atoms in nature (the Communist view). They could have been created only by immense design.
