More quotes by 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

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.

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

Admittedly communism has not been achieved in Russia. State socialism has been built.
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

Remember how the first world war broke out. It broke out as a result of the desire to redivide the world.

A man's eyes should be torn out if he can only see the past

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.

Each country, if it so desires, will make its own revolution. And if no such desire exists, no revolution will occur.
Joseph Stalin

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

This creature softened my heart of stone. She died and with her died my last warm feelings for humanity.
Joseph Stalin

We built this [socialistic] society not for the curbing of personal liberty, but in order that human personalities should really feel free.
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.
