Imperialism: The final stage of Capitalism.

The best way to control the opposition is to lead it ourselves.

There are no morals in politics; the is only experience. A scoundrel may be of use because he is a scoundrel!

Despair is typical of those who do not understand the causes of evil, see no way out, and are incapable of struggle.

The goal of Socialism is Communism.

You probe with bayonets: if you find mush, you push. If you find steel, you withdraw.

I believe that President Trump of the United States does not need any advice because one has to possess certain talent and go through this trial to be elected, even without having the experience of such big administrative work. He has done this.

The Charter of the United Nations expresses the noblest aspirations of man: abjuration of force in the settlement of disputes between states; the assurance of human rights and fundamental freedoms for all without distinction as to race, sex, language or religion; the safeguarding of international peace and security.

For many years, I have been writing and speaking about the danger of the rise of an honest and charismatic ideologue in the United States, someone who could exploit the fear and anger that has long been boiling in much of the society, and who could direct it away from the actual agents of malaise to vulnerable targets. That could indeed lead to what sociologist Bertram Gross called ‘friendly fascism’ in a perceptive study 35 years ago..

Back in the mid-18th century, in 1745-1747, Ossetia was the first to become part of the Russian Empire. At that time, it was a united entity; North and South Ossetia were one state.

The war against working people should be understood to be a real war…. Specifically in the U.S., which happens to have a highly class-conscious business class…. And they have long seen themselves as fighting a bitter class war, except they don’t want anybody else to know about it.

I think the international community should unite to fight such inhuman phenomena as terror attacks and the murder of totally innocent people.

Europe has not been a heterogenous society to anything like the extent that the United States has. Nor has it been as mobile a society as the United States. These matters have been a bit under the cover, but they’re harder to keep under the cover.

It’s very important for institutions of concentrated power to keep people alone and isolated: that way they’re ineffective, they can’t defend themselves against indoctrination, they can’t even figure out what they think.

I believe there’s too little patience and context to many of the investigations I read or see on television.

We shouldn’t be looking for heroes, we should be looking for good ideas.

I am absolutely comfortable with the fact that men marrying men, women marrying women, and heterosexual men and women marrying another are entitled to the same exact rights, all the civil rights, all the civil liberties. And quite frankly, I don’t see much of a distinction beyond that.

Political activities in Russia should be as transparent as possible. Financing political activities from abroad is something the state should keep an eye on.

In the modern world, those who are weak will get unambiguous advice from foreign visitors which way to go and what policy course to pursue.

Whoever is the first to cry ‘Stop the thief’ is the one who is guilty.

If Hillary Clinton can’t satisfy her husband what makes her think she can satisfy America?
