More quotes by Joseph Stalin
The Soviet system will not evolve into American democracy or vice-versa.
Joseph Stalin
There is not, nor should there be, an irreconcilable contrast between the individual and the collective, between the interests of an individual person and the interests of the collective.
Joseph Stalin
The press must grow day in and day out - it is our Party's sharpest and most powerful weapon.
Joseph Stalin
The art of leadership is a serious matter. One must not lag behind a movement, because to do so is to become isolated from the masses. But one must not rush ahead, for to rush ahead is to lose contact with the masses. He who wished to lead a movement must conduct a fight on two fronts--against those who lag behind and those who rush ahead.
Joseph Stalin
We built [socialistic society] for the sake of real personal liberty, liberty without quotation marks.
Joseph Stalin
Why will our elections be equal? Because neither differences in regard to property (differences partly existing) nor differences of race and nationality will cause any privileges or disadvantages. Women will enjoy the right to elect and be elected equally with men. Our elections will be really equal.
Joseph Stalin
There are no fortresses that Bolsheviks cannot storm.
Joseph Stalin
It is not heroes that make history, but history that makes heroes.
Joseph Stalin
We are fifty or a hundred years behind the advanced countries. We must make good this distance in ten years. Either we do it, or they will crush us.
Joseph Stalin
Take some exercise, try to recover the look of a human being.
Joseph Stalin
The Red Army and Navy and the whole Soviet people must fight for every inch of Soviet soil, fight to the last drop of blood for our towns and villages...onward, to victory!
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
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
Those who vote decide nothing. Those who count the vote 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.
Joseph Stalin
If the opposition disarms, well and good. If it refuses to disarm, we shall disarm it ourselves.
Joseph Stalin
Under national socialism, there is also only one party. But nothing will come out of this fascist one-party system.
Joseph Stalin
music's a good thing, it calm the beast in the man.
Joseph Stalin
Having consolidated its power, and taking the lead of the peasantry, the proletariat of the victorious country can and must build a socialist society.
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
