The goal of socialism is communism.
The theory of Communism may be summed up in one sentence: Abolish all private property.
There are only two sorts of people in life you can trust -- good Christians and good Communists.
The Revolution introduced me to art, and in turn, art introduced me to the Revolution!
Our fear that Communism might some day take over most of the world blinds us to the fact that anti-communism already has.
I am a Marxist... of the Groucho tendency.
Hypostatized into a ritual pattern, Marxian theory becomes ideology. But its content and function distinguish it from classical forms of ideology; it is not false consciousness, but a rather consciousness of falsehood, a falsehood which is corrected in the context of the higher truth represented by the objective historical interest.
The terrible thing is that one cannot be a Communist and not let oneself in for the shameful act of recantation. One cannot be a Communist and preserve an iota of one's personal integrity.
Under socialism all will govern in turn and will soon become accustomed to no one governing.
The final conflict will be between the Communists and the ex-Communists.
We are the party of all labor. The whole earth shall be ours to share. And every race and craft our neighbor. No idle class shall linger there like vultures on the wealth we render from field and factory, mill and mine. Tomorrow's sun will rise in splendor and light us till the end of time.
Socialism is a vast machine for churning out piles of goods marked Take it or leave it.
Great Socialist statesmen aren't made, they're still-born.
Socialism is the same as Communism, only better English
Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred.

It comes as no surprise to find [Norman] Mailer embracing [in the book ] a form of Manicheanism, pitting the forces of light and darkness against each other in a permanent stand-off, with humanity as the battlefield. (When asked if Jesus is part of this battle, he responds rather loftily that he thinks it is a distinct possibility.) But it is at points like this that he talks as if all the late-night undergraduate talk sessions on the question of theism had become rolled into one. 'How can we not face up to the fact that if God is All-Powerful, He cannot be All-Good. Or She cannot be All-Good.'Mailer says that questions such as this have bedevilled 'theologians', whereas it would be more accurate to say that such questions, posed by philosophers, have attempted to put theologians out of business. A long exchange on the probability of reincarnation (known to Mailer sometimes as karmic reassignment) manages to fall slightly below the level of those undergraduate talk sessions. The Manichean stand-off leads Mailer, in closing, to speculate on what God might desire politically and to say: 'In different times, the heavens may have been partial to monarchy, to communism, and certainly the Lord was interested in democracy, in capitalism. (As was the Devil!)'I think it was at this point that I decided I would rather remember Mailer as the author of and .
If Socialism can only be realized when the intellectual development of all the people permits it, then we shall not see Socialism for at least five hundred years.
We are persons of quality, I assure you, and women of fashion, and come to see and to be seen.
