Marx and Engels never talked about murdering the bourgeois. According to the old bourgeois concept, the judges were the ones who judged, and the executioners were the ones who executed.

Judges must beware of hard constructions and strained inferences, for there is no worse torture than that of laws.

Communism doesn’t work because people like to own stuff.

The hungry judges soon the sentence sign, and wretches hang that jurymen may dine.

Communism has decided against God, against Christ, against the Bible, and against all religion.

As with the Christian religion, the worst advertisement for Socialism is its adherents.

It’s impossible, I think, however much I’d become disillusioned politically or evolve into a post-political person, I don’t think I’d ever change my view that socialism is the best political moment humans have ever come up with.

Look at the Chandra Levy case. It’s become a Star Chamber. The major networks, the cable networks, they’re being prosecutors. They’re judges and jurors and executioners. Well, c’mon, that’s ridiculous. But they’re doing it.

Communists have always played an active role in the fight by colonial countries for their freedom, because the short-term objects of Communism would always correspond with the long-term objects of freedom movements.

Judges should avoid commenting on a candidate for public office.

I like Gramsci. He’s an important person.

There are some singers that know exactly when to go, and others hang on much too long and that is the same, that is the same with judges.

I am a Christian. That obliges me to be a Communist.

The only fundamental and possible socialism is the socialisation of the selective breeding of man.

Socialism in general has a record of failure so blatant that only an intellectual could ignore or evade it.

Capitalism is using its money; we socialists throw it away.

Communism to me is one-third practice and two-thirds explanation.

I could become very rich in Guatemala but by the low method of ratifying my title, opening a clinic, and specialising in allergies. To do that would be the most horrible betrayal of the two ‚I’s‘ struggling inside me: the socialist and the traveller.

Judges ought to be more leaned than witty, more reverent than plausible, and more advised than confident. Above all things, integrity is their portion and proper virtue.

To cure the British disease with socialism was like trying to cure leukaemia with leeches.

I became a Communist by studying capitalist political economy, and when I had some understanding of that problem, it actually seemed to me so absurd, so irrational, so inhuman, that I simply began to elaborate on my own formulas for production and distribution.

Reactionaries often describe both Marx and Lenin as theorists, without taking into consideration that their utopias inspired Russia and China – the two countries called upon to lead a new world which will allow for human survival if imperialism does not first unleash a criminal, exterminating war.

In socialism, private property is anathema, and equal distribution of income the first consideration. In capitalism, private property is cardinal, and distribution left to ensue from the play of free contract and selfish interest on that basis, no matter what anomalies it may present.

I would remind you the lesser of two socialists is still a socialist.

A radical generally meant a man who thought he could somehow pull up the root without affecting the flower. A conservative generally meant a man who wanted to conserve everything except his own reason for conserving anything.

Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.

On the whole, we think of our consumers – other judges, lawyers, the public. The law that the Supreme Court establishes is the law that they must live by, so all things considered, it’s better to have it clearer than confusing.

I took part in what was actually the last eruption of Marxist internationalism.

I am not a communist and neither is the revolutionary movement.

From each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs.

The magistrates are the ministers for the laws, the judges their interpreters, the rest of us are servants of the law, that we all may be free.

Communism is a religion that is inspired, directed and motivated by the Devil himself who has declared war against Almighty God.

Many Communist government officials have a rigid, dictatorial power, but they live in constant suspicion and fear of anything that might undermine the power they have.

The meaning of peace is the absence of opposition to socialism.

I never accepted Communist dogma or theory.

Take it from someone who fled the Iron Curtain: I know what happens when you give the Russians a green light.

The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other peoples‘ money.

Socialists tend to want to pay people more money to do less work, and capitalists tend to want to provide better products at better prices.

In a republic this rule ought to be observed: that the majority should not have the predominant power.

Castro couldn’t even go to the bathroom unless the Soviet Union put the nickel in the toilet.

Democracy is the road to socialism.

I did have two dads; one was a socialist, and one was a capitalist. I really decided I would rather be a capitalist.

Let the ruling classes tremble at a communist revolution. The proletarians have nothing to lose but their chains. They have a world to win. Workingmen of all countries, unite!

The Cuban model doesn’t even work for us anymore.

There is not Communism or Marxism, but representative democracy and social justice in a well-planned economy.

I still think like a Marxist in many ways.

I should tie myself to no particular system of society other than of socialism.

Socialism, reduced to its simplest legal and practical expression, means the complete discarding of the institution of private property by transforming it into public property, and the division of the resultant public income equally and indiscriminately among the entire population.

They talk about the failure of socialism but where is the success of capitalism in Africa, Asia and Latin America?

About astrology and palmistry: they are good because they make people vivid and full of possibilities. They are communism at its best. Everybody has a birthday and almost everybody has a palm.

Republics decline into democracies and democracies degenerate into despotisms.

Socialism is the same as Communism, only better English.

Homeland or death! Socialism or death! We shall overcome!

Communism, like any other revealed religion, is largely made up of prophecies.

A specter is haunting Europe – the specter of communism.

There is a specter haunting Europe, the specter of Communism.

Socialism never arises in the earlier phases of capitalism, as, for instance, among the pioneers of civilisation in a country where there is plenty of land available for private appropriation by the last comer.

I hate victims who respect their executioners.

How do you tell a communist? Well, it’s someone who reads Marx and Lenin. And how do you tell an anti-Communist? It’s someone who understands Marx and Lenin.

The Revolution did not assume a socialist nature because of support from the U.S.S.R.; it was the other way around: support from the U.S.S.R. was produced by the socialist nature of the Cuban Revolution. To such a degree, that when the U.S.S.R. disappears, Cuba keeps on being socialist.

There are many people in the world who really don’t understand-or say they don’t-what is the great issue between the free world and the Communist world. Let them come to Berlin!
