Many understand state socialism in this way. Sometimes a system is concealed behind this term in which the capitalist state, in the interests of preparation for the conduct of war, takes upon itself the maintenance of a certain number of private enterprises.

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

Exported revolution is nonsense.
Joseph Stalin

Die, but do not retreat.
Joseph Stalin

The press must grow day in and day out - it is our Party's sharpest and most powerful weapon.
Joseph Stalin
Image
There are on occasions, as we know, when resources are abundant, but they are expended so incompetently that the advantage is nullified.
Joseph Stalin
Image
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.

Personel selection is decisive. People are our most valuable capital.

Under national socialism, there is also only one party. But nothing will come out of this fascist one-party system.

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.

There is no nation in the whole world desiring war.

[State] finds [frontier] either with the aid of force, as in 1914, when Germany invaded Belgium in order to deal a blow against France or it borrows a frontier, such as Germany did with regard to Latvia, for instance, in 1918, in attempting to break through to Leningrad across Latvia.

Education is a weapon the effect of which is determined by the hands which wield it, by who is to be struck down.
Joseph Stalin

In the Soviet army it takes more courage to retreat than advance.
Joseph Stalin

We Marxists believe that revolution will occur in other countries, as well. But it will occur at a time when it will be considered possible or necessary by revolutionaries of those countries.
Joseph Stalin
Image
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

Quanity has it's own quality.
Joseph Stalin

Leninism is Marxism of the era of imperialism and the proletarian revolution.
Joseph Stalin
Image
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.

Ideas are more powerful than guns. We would not let our enemies have guns, why should we let them have ideas.

There are no fortresses that Bolsheviks cannot storm.
