More quotes by Joseph Stalin
This war is not an ordinary war. It is the war of the entire Russian people. Not only to eliminate the danger hanging over our heads, but to aid all people groaning under the yoke of Fascism
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
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
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
Admittedly communism has not been achieved in Russia. State socialism has been built.
Joseph Stalin
We have not yet built a communist society.It is not so easy to build such a society.
Joseph Stalin
I trust no one, not even myself.
Joseph Stalin
I fail to see what dangers surrounding states can see in the ideas of the Soviet people if these states are really firmly seated in their saddles.
Joseph Stalin
Those who vote decide nothing. Those who count the vote decide everything.
Joseph Stalin
Our new Soviet constitution will, in my opinion, be the most democratic constitution of all those existing in the world.
Joseph Stalin
[After Communism succeeds] ...then, there will come a peace across the earth.
Joseph Stalin
Universal, equal, direct and secret elections in the U.S.S.R. will be a whip in the hands of the population against poorly functioning organs of government.
Joseph Stalin
Our society consists exclusively of free working people of cities and villages, workers, peasants, intelligentsia. Each of these strata may have its special interests and express them in numerous existing organizations.
Joseph Stalin
Political power does not rest with those who cast votes political power rests with those who count votes.
Joseph Stalin
Under national socialism, there is also only one party. But nothing will come out of this fascist one-party system.
Joseph Stalin
Yes, the electoral struggle [in U.S.S.R.] will be animated. It will proceed around numerous very sharp questions, namely, practical questions having first-rate significance for the people.
Joseph Stalin
Take some exercise, try to recover the look of a human being.
Joseph Stalin
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
American Communists have the opportunity to preach freely their ideas. It would be absolutely wrong to hold the Soviet government responsible for activities of the American Communists.
Joseph Stalin
In the U.S.S.R. anti-semitism is punishable with the utmost severity of the law as a phenomenon deeply hostile to the Soviet system. Under U.S.S.R. law active anti-semites are liable to the death penalty.
