Summary
This quote, often attributed to Soviet leader Joseph Stalin, highlights a paradoxical nature of capitalism. It suggests that individuals or companies driven by profit, even at the expense of workers, can exploit any opportunity for financial gain. By "selling us the rope we use" to execute them, it emphasizes how capitalists' pursuit of profit can lead them to supply the very means that might contribute to their downfall. This quote is often cited to illustrate the irony and self-destructive tendencies that can arise within capitalist societies.
