Voters decide nothing. Vote counters decide everything!
Joseph Stalin

What would happen if capital succeeded in smashing the Republic of Soviets? There would set in an era of the blackest reaction in all the capitalist and colonial countries, the working class and the oppressed peoples would be seized by the throat, the positions of international communism would be lost.

When one man dies it is a tragedy, when thousands die it's statistics.
Joseph Stalin
Image
Under national socialism, there is also only one party. But nothing will come out of this fascist one-party system.
Joseph Stalin
Image
Quantity has a quality all its own.
Joseph Stalin
Image
In the Soviet army it takes more courage to retreat than advance.
Joseph Stalin
Image
I consider it completely unimportant who in the party will vote, or how but what is extraordinarily important is this - who will count the votes, and how.
Joseph Stalin
Image
We built this [socialistic] society not for the curbing of personal liberty, but in order that human personalities should really feel free.
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.

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.

Take some exercise, try to recover the look of a human being.
Joseph Stalin

Capitalism in its imperialistic stage is a system which regards war as a legitimate method for solution of international disputes - a method which is legitimate in fact if not legally so.
Joseph Stalin

He who votes does not have power. He who counts the votes has power.
Joseph Stalin
Image
According to our constitution, political emigres have the right to reside on our territory. We accord them the right of asylum, the same as the United States accords the right of asylum to political emigres.
Joseph Stalin
Image
The people who cast the votes decide nothing the people who count the votes decide everything.
Joseph Stalin
Image
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.

I know that after my death a pile of rubbish will be heaped on my grave, but the wind of History will sooner or later sweep it away without mercy.
Joseph Stalin
Image
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
Image
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

We built [socialistic society] for the sake of real personal liberty, liberty without quotation marks.
