More quotes by Joseph Stalin
We have not yet built a communist society.It is not so easy to build such a society.
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
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
We think that a powerful and vigorous movement is impossible without differences - true conformity is possible only in the cemetery.
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
The United States should get rid of its militias.
Joseph Stalin
Each country, if it so desires, will make its own revolution. And if no such desire exists, no revolution will occur.
Joseph Stalin
music's a good thing, it calm the beast in the man.
Joseph Stalin
Quanity has it's own quality.
Joseph Stalin
This creature softened my heart of stone. She died and with her died my last warm feelings for humanity.
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
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
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
We built [socialistic society] for the sake of real personal liberty, liberty without quotation marks.
Joseph Stalin
Those who vote decide nothing. Those who count the vote decide everything.
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
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
When one man dies it is a tragedy, when thousands die it's statistics.
Joseph Stalin
Print is the sharpest and the strongest weapon of our party.
Joseph Stalin
The press must grow day in and day out - it is our Party's sharpest and most powerful weapon.
