"I would rather starve and rot

the truth as I see it,

that capital has to give
from the presidency down."

"If a blending of individualism
and of cooperative participation
is a prerequisite to a democratic solution
of the problems of a society of free men,
it must also be noted that an atmosphere of freedom
is required if these problems are to be met
constructively and as they arise."

"Given that the nineteenth century was the century of Socialism, Liberalism, and Democracy, it does not necessarily follow that the twentieth century must also be a century of Socialism, Liberalism and Democracy: political doctrines pass, but humanity remains; and it may rather be expected that this will be a century of authority, a century of the Left, a century of Fascism. For if the nineteenth century was the century of individualism (Liberalism always signifying individualism) it may be expected that this will be the century of collectivism, and hence the century of the State. It is a perfectly logical deduction that a new doctrine can utilize all the still vital elements of previous doctrines."

~ Benito Mussolini  

"Socialism needs two legs on which to stand; a right and a left. 
While appearing to be in complete opposition to one another, 
they both march in the same direction."

"How do you tell a Communist?

It's someone who understands Marx and Lenin."

"Mr. Speaker, in 1848, Karl Marx said, a progressive income tax is needed to transfer wealth and power to the state. Thus, Marx's Communist Manifesto had as its major economic tenet a progressive income tax. Think about it, 1848 Karl Marx, Communism.... I say it is time to replace the progressive income tax with a national retail sales tax, and it is time to abolish the IRS, my colleagues. I yield back all the rules, regulations, fear, and intimidation of our current system."

~ James A. Traficant, Jr.  

"Believe me, National Socialism would not be worth anything if it were to be confined to Germany and did not secure the rule of the superior race over the whole world for at least one or two thousand years."

~ Adolf Hitler  

"I do not believe in communism any more than you do,
but there is nothing wrong with the communists in this country.
Several of the best friends I have are Communists."

~ Franklin D. Roosevelt
