Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.
Winston ChurchillHuman judges can show mercy. But against the laws of nature, there is no appeal.
Arthur C. ClarkeSocialism is the same as Communism, only better English.
George Bernard ShawI never accepted Communist dogma or theory.
J. Robert OppenheimerIn a republic this rule ought to be observed: that the majority should not have the predominant power.
Marcus Tullius CiceroJudges 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.
Francis BaconThere is not Communism or Marxism, but representative democracy and social justice in a well-planned economy.
Fidel CastroThere 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.
Ruth Bader GinsburgThey talk about the failure of socialism but where is the success of capitalism in Africa, Asia and Latin America?
Fidel CastroThe 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.
Fidel CastroIn 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.
George Bernard ShawCommunism doesn’t work because people like to own stuff.
Frank ZappaMany 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.
Thich Nhat HanhJudges should avoid commenting on a candidate for public office.
Ruth Bader GinsburgFrom 1945 to 1974, the Western world – including America – was more socialistic than capitalistic, more pro-labor than pro-business.
Robert KiyosakiHow 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.
Ronald ReaganIt’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.
Christopher HitchensThe U.S.S.R. had absolutely nothing to do with the triumph of the Cuban Revolution.
Fidel CastroSocialism 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.
George Bernard ShawRepublics decline into democracies and democracies degenerate into despotisms.
AristotleCommunism has never come to power in a country that was not disrupted by war or corruption, or both.
John F. KennedyI 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.
Che GuevaraIt was patriotism, not communism, that inspired me.
Ho Chi MinhCastro couldn’t even go to the bathroom unless the Soviet Union put the nickel in the toilet.
Richard M. NixonThe hungry judges soon the sentence sign, and wretches hang that jurymen may dine.
Alexander PopeI spent my life studying communism and Soviet systems.
Madeleine AlbrightThe meaning of peace is the absence of opposition to socialism.
Karl MarxCommunism, like any other revealed religion, is largely made up of prophecies.
H. L. MenckenCommunism to me is one-third practice and two-thirds explanation.
Will RogersI would remind you the lesser of two socialists is still a socialist.
John KennedyWell, Marx is having a comeback. I hear him mentioned a lot in terms of the global financial situation and the general sense of injustice out there. A lot of economic experts in America refer to him without actually using the M word, but he’s around.
David ByrneThe 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.
Marcus Tullius CiceroI am a Christian. That obliges me to be a Communist.
George Bernard ShawA specter is haunting Europe – the specter of communism.
Karl MarxCapitalism is using its money; we socialists throw it away.
Fidel CastroI still think like a Marxist in many ways.
Christopher HitchensAt the outset, I want to say that the suggestion that the struggle in South Africa is under the influence of foreigners or communists is wholly incorrect. I have done whatever I did because of my experience in South Africa and my own proudly felt African background, and not because of what any outsider might have said.
Nelson MandelaThe theory of Communism may be summed up in one sentence: Abolish all private property.
Karl MarxThe Cold War isn’t thawing; it is burning with a deadly heat. Communism isn’t sleeping; it is, as always, plotting, scheming, working, fighting.
Richard M. NixonAs with the Christian religion, the worst advertisement for Socialism is its adherents.
George OrwellSocialism, 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.
George Bernard ShawJurisdictions 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.
John KennedyCommunism is a religion that is inspired, directed and motivated by the Devil himself who has declared war against Almighty God.
Billy GrahamI like Gramsci. He’s an important person.
Noam ChomskyDemocracy is the road to socialism.
Karl MarxThe Cuban model doesn’t even work for us anymore.
Fidel CastroI did have two dads; one was a socialist, and one was a capitalist. I really decided I would rather be a capitalist.
Robert KiyosakiAbout 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.
Kurt VonnegutI 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.
Che GuevaraThere 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!
John F. KennedyCommunists 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.
Nelson MandelaThe problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other peoples‘ money.
Margaret ThatcherI hate victims who respect their executioners.
Jean-Paul SartreOn 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.
Ruth Bader GinsburgIf 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?
Lady GagaHomeland or death! Socialism or death! We shall overcome!
Fidel CastroI 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.
Fidel CastroLook 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.
Ray BradburyFrom each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs.
Karl MarxI 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.
Henry Kissinger
