Was curious if there were any quotes that we’d like to share.

It’s pretty hard to find anything from Stalin for example that isn’t blatantly made up to demonize him.

    One of my favourites is indeed a Stalin quote.

    It is difficult for me to imagine what “personal liberty” is enjoyed by an unemployed hungry person. True freedom can only be where there is no exploitation and oppression of one person by another; where there is not unemployment, and where a person is not living in fear of losing his job, his home and his bread. Only in such a society personal and any other freedom can exist for real and not on paper.

      Kinda cool that after reading a bit of theory, you start recognizing where this quotes come from. Iirc this one is from that interview with a famous writer hg wells? I think.
