Ideas are more powerful than guns. We would not let our enemies have guns, why should we let them have ideas.

More quotes by Joseph Stalin
A certain inequality in regard to property still exists in a socialist society. But in a socialist society there is no unemployment, no exploitation, no oppression of nationalities.
Joseph Stalin
In a socialist society, everybody is obliged to work even though he is remunerated for his labor and not yet according to his needs, but according to the quantity and quality of the labor expended.
Joseph Stalin
Remember how the first world war broke out. It broke out as a result of the desire to redivide the world.
Joseph Stalin
We built [socialistic society] for the sake of real personal liberty, liberty without quotation marks.
Joseph Stalin
Real liberty exists only there where exploitation has been annihilated, where no oppression of some peoples by others exists, where there is no unemployment and pauperism, where a person does not tremble because tomorrow he may lose his job, home and bread.
Joseph Stalin
Have not fascism in Italy and National Socialism in Germany claimed that they have attained similar results [as in U.S.S.R.]? Have not both been achieved at the price of privation and personal liberty sacrificed for the good of the state?
Joseph Stalin
This war is not as in the past whoever occupies a territory also imposes on it his own social system. Everyone imposes his own system as far as his army can reach. It cannot be otherwise. If now there is not a communist government in Paris, this is only because Russia has no an army which can reach Paris in 1945.
Joseph Stalin
There are on occasions, as we know, when resources are abundant, but they are expended so incompetently that the advantage is nullified.
Joseph Stalin
Of course, in order to build something new, one has to economize, accumulate means, temporarily limit one's requirements, borrow from others. If you want to build a new house, you save money temporarily and limit your requirements, otherwise you might not build your house.
Joseph Stalin
It's not the people who vote that count. It's the people who count the votes.
Joseph Stalin
Personel selection is decisive. People are our most valuable capital.
Joseph Stalin
Many understand state socialism in this way. Sometimes a system is concealed behind this term in which the capitalist state, in the interests of preparation for the conduct of war, takes upon itself the maintenance of a certain number of private enterprises.
Joseph Stalin
Do you remember the tsar? Well, I‘m like a tsar.
Joseph Stalin
In my opinion, there are two focal points of the war danger. The first focal point is the Far East zone of Japan. The second focal point in the zone is Germany.
Joseph Stalin
Admittedly communism has not been achieved in Russia. State socialism has been built.
Joseph Stalin
Is it possible, then, to doubt that we can and must gain victory over the German invaders? The enemy is not as strong as some terror-stricken pseudo-intellectuals picture him. The devil is not as terrible as he is painted.
Joseph Stalin
The reason why there is now no communist government in Paris is because in the circumstances of 1945 the Soviet army was not able to reach French soil.
Joseph Stalin
We have no parties standing in opposition to each other, just as we have no class of capitalists and a class of workers exploited by capitalists in opposition to each other.
Joseph Stalin
The leaders come and go, but the people remain. Only the people are immortal.
Joseph Stalin
We Marxists believe that revolution will occur in other countries, as well. But it will occur at a time when it will be considered possible or necessary by revolutionaries of those countries.
Joseph Stalin
