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.

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

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

I would probably have more in common with a whale than with a bourgeois married couple employed at worthy institutions that I would wipe from the face of the earth if it was given to me to do so.

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.

Human judges can show mercy. But against the laws of nature, there is no appeal.

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.

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.

Judges should avoid commenting on a candidate for public office.

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.

The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of blessings; the inherent virtue of socialism is the equal sharing of miseries.

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.

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

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

I never accepted Communist dogma or theory.

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.

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

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

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.

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

The theory of Communism may be summed up in one sentence: Abolish all private property.

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!

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.

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

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

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

Jurisdictions across the U.S. are snapping up algorithms as tools to help judges make bail and bond decisions. They’re being sold as race- and gender-neutral assessments that allow judges to use science in determining whether someone will behave if released from jail pending trial.

I still think like a Marxist in many ways.

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

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

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.

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.

I hate victims who respect their executioners.

If I decide to make a coat red in the show, it’s not just red, I think: is it communist red? Is it cherry cordial? Is it ruby red? Or is it apple red? Or the big red balloon red?

From 1945 to 1974, the Western world – including America – was more socialistic than capitalistic, more pro-labor than pro-business.

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.

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.

At times, I’ve referred to Christ’s miracles, and have said, ‚Well, Christ multiplied the fish and the loaves to feed the people. That is precisely what we want to do with the Revolution and socialism.‘

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.

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

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

Communism has never come to power in a country that was not disrupted by war or corruption, or both.

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.

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

I don’t see why we need to stand by and watch a country go communist due to the irresponsibility of its people. The issues are much too important for the Chilean voters to be left to decide for themselves.

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

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

I like Gramsci. He’s an important person.

The U.S.S.R. had absolutely nothing to do with the triumph of the Cuban Revolution.

It was patriotism, not communism, that inspired me.

The Cold War isn’t thawing; it is burning with a deadly heat. Communism isn’t sleeping; it is, as always, plotting, scheming, working, fighting.

Democracy means government by the uneducated, while aristocracy means government by the badly educated.

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

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

Socialism is the same as Communism, only better English.

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.

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

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

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!

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

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