Slight content warning: mention of the word “naked”

“To say: I ‘appreciate’ your political, approach, ‘but’ it is only a political one and we ‘also need an economic one’, is tantamount to saying: I ‘appreciate’ your point that in taking that particular step you are liable to break your neck, but you must also take into consideration that it is better to be clothed and well-fed than to go naked and hungry.” - Lenin, Once Again On The Trade Unions, The Current Situation and the Mistakes of Trotsky and Buhkarin (https://www.marxists.org/archive/lenin/works/1921/jan/25.htm)

    About the capitalist states, it doesn’t depend on you whether or not we exist. If you don’t like us, don’t accept our invitations, and don’t invite us to come to see you. Whether you like it or not, history is on our side. We will bury you!

    Yeah, I know, it’s from Khrushchev. But it’s a banger and he wasn’t wrong tbf.

    Atomic war is inevitable. It will destroy half of humanity: it is going to destroy immense human riches. It is very possible. The atomic war is going to provoke a true inferno on Earth. But it will not impede Communism.

    Another banger, even if Posadas is kind of a meme (deserved for being a Trotskyist).

    Decided to go with quotes I didn’t expect anyone else to post so as not to be monotonous. Plus, even revisionists can have crazy good lines.
