The quote is true, whether it can be attributed to Stalin I do not know. What difference does it make who said it ... we know it is true by looking at history. That is exactly what Communists have done in many countries, and the result has been devastating to the people. WHY would anyone want to turn to a system that repeatedly fails, where people are treated like cattle, where there is poverty and misery .... when they have the example of America .... where freedom and success abound to the vast majority? To keep such freedoms, citizens must be vigilant to guard it, to vote WISELY with one's head rather than emotions and lies generated by left wing media sources. Hopefully America will vote wisely in 2012.
