The people will always attempt to find the positive aspects of all circumstances, which, in themselves, are not susceptible to danger.
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
He who votes does not have power. He who counts the votes has power.

To assert that we desire to bring about revolution in other countries, by interfering with their lives, is to speak of something which does not exist and which we never preach.
Joseph Stalin
Image
For instance, our country wanted to effect a revolution, and did effect it, and now we are building a new classless society.
Joseph Stalin

To slacken the tempo...would mean falling behind. And those who fall behind get beaten.

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.

Marxism is not only the theory of socialism, it is an integral world outlook, a philosophical system, from which Marx’s proletarian socialism logically follows. This philosophical system is called dialectical materialism.
Joseph Stalin
Image
Political power does not rest with those who cast votes political power rests with those who count votes.
Joseph Stalin
Image
I believe that the position of the friends of peace is strengthening. The friends of peace are able to work in the open. They base themselves upon the force of public opinion. They have at their disposal such instruments as, for instance, the League of Nations. This is to the advantage of the friends of peace.

Marxists have more than once pointed out that the capitalist world economic system contains in itself the seeds of a general crisis and of warlike clashes.
Joseph Stalin

This creature softened my heart of stone. She died and with her died my last warm feelings for humanity.
Joseph Stalin
Image
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
Image
We secured peace for our country for one and a half years, as well as an opportunity of preparing our forces for defense if fascist Germany risked attacking our country in defiance of the pact. This was a definite gain to our country and a loss for fascist Germany.

Exported revolution is nonsense.
Joseph Stalin
Image
We desire to give the Soviet people absolute liberty of voting for those they desire to elect, those whom they trust to ensure their interests.
Joseph Stalin
Image
We built [socialistic society] for the sake of real personal liberty, liberty without quotation marks.

It doesnt matter how many people vote, only who counts them.
