Anything else would be an unacceptable shock to the American economy.~ George F. Kennan If, however, a government refrains from regulations and allows matters to take their course, essential commodities soon attain a level of price out of the reach of all but the rich, the worthlessness of the money becomes apparent, and the fraud upon the public can be concealed no longer.~ John Maynard Keynes If the Treasury were to fill old bottles with bank-notes, bury them at suitable depths in disused coal-mines which are then filled up to the surface with town rubbish, and leave it to private enterprise on well-tried principles of laissez-faire to dig the notes up again (the right to do so being obtained, of course, by tendering for leases of the note-bearing territory), there need be no more unemployment and, with the help of repercussions, the real income of the community, and its capital wealth, would probably become a good deal greater than it actually is.~ John Maynard Keynes We cannot expect the American People to jump from Capitalism to Communism, but we can assist their elected leaders in giving them small doses of Socialism, until they awaken one day to find that they have Communism.~ Nikita Khrushchev Society cannot leap into Communism from capitalism without going through a socialist stage of development.~ Nikita Khrushchev Your children’s children will live under communism. You Americans are so gullible. No, you won’t accept Communism outright, but we’ll keep feeding you small doses of Socialism until you will finally wake up and find that you already have Communism. We won’t have to fight you; We’ll so weaken your economy, until you fall like overripe fruit into our hands.~ Nikita Khrushschev He who passively accepts evil is as much involved in it as he who helps to perpetuate it.~ Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Today Americans would be outraged if U.N. troops entered Los Angeles to restore order; tomorrow they will be grateful. This is especially true if they were told there was an outside threat from beyond, whether real or promulgated, that threatened our very existence. It is then that all peoples of the world will plead with world leaders to deliver them from this evil. The one thing every man fears is the unknown. When presented with this scenario, individual rights will be willingly relinquished for the guarantee of their well being granted to them by their world government.~ Henry Kissinger Anyone who says that economic security is a human right, has been too much babied. While he babbles, other men are risking and losing their lives to protect him. They are fighting the sea, fighting the land, fighting disease and insects and weather and space and time, for him, while he chatters that all men have a right to security and that some pagan god—Society, The State, The Government, The Commune—must give it to them. Let the fighting men stop fighting this inhuman earth for one hour, and he will learn how much security there is.~ Rose Wilder Lane Nothing whatever but the constitutional law, the political structure, of these United States protects any American from arbitrary seizure of his property and his person, from the Gestapo and the Storm Troops, from the concentration camp, the torture chamber, the revolver at the back of his neck in a cellar.~ Rose Wilder Lane Governing a large country is like frying a small fish. You spoil it with too much poking.~ Lao-Tzu We've witnessed a fire sale of American liberties at bargain basement prices, in return for the false promise of more security... The America being designed right now won't resemble the America we've been defending... The danger isn't that Big Brother may storm the castle gates. The danger is that Americans don't realize that he is already inside the castle walls.~ Wayne LaPierre The aim of socialism is not only to abolish the present division of mankind into small states and all-national isolation, not only to bring the nations closer to each other, but also to merge them.~ Vladimir Ilyich Lenin A system of licensing and registration is the perfect device to deny gun ownership to the bourgeoisie.~ Vladimir Ilyich Lenin Destroy the family, you destroy the country.~ Vladimir Ilyich Lenin Only an armed people can be the real bulwark of popular liberty.~ Vladimir Ilyich Lenin ...the concentration of capital and the growth of their turnover is radically challenging the significance of the banks. Scattered capitalists are transformed into a single collective capitalist. When carrying the current accounts of a few capitalists, the banks, as it were, transact a purely technical and exclusively auxiliary operation. When, however, these operations grow to enormous dimensions we find that a handful of monopolists control all the operations, both commercial and industrial, of capitalist society. They can, by means of their banking connections.~ Vladimir Ilyich Lenin The way to crush the bourgeoisie is to grind them between the millstones of taxation and inflation.~ Vladimir Ilyich Lenin The Capitalists will sell us the rope with which we will hang them.~ Vladimir Ilyich Lenin While the State exists, there can be no freedom. When there is freedom there will be no State.~ Vladimir Ilyich Lenin Previous 20 quotes Next 20 quotes Share on Facebook Tweet Email Print
