Internationalism, illustrated by the Bolshevik and by the men to whom all countries are alike provided they can make money out of them, is to me repulsive. Henry Cabot Lodge
Vladimir Lenin quote: "Give us the child for 8 years and it will be a Bolshevik forever."
Give us the child for 8 years and it will be a Bolshevik forever. Vladimir Lenin
I say we have not even had the decency to maintain the assets that our parents and grandparents built for us - our roads, our bridges, our wastewater systems, our sewer systems; by the way, those weren't Bolsheviks, those weren't socialists that built those things for us - much less build the infrastructure we need for the 21st century. Michael Bennett
Among those people lucky enough, if you will, to have actually been brought to trial as a political prisoner, several historians have said there has not been one acquittal since the Bolshevik Revolution. Barbara Amiel
