January 23, 2014 In Their Own Words: Lenin, Stalin, Obama, and Hillary By Andrew Thomas
It is beneficial to remind ourselves periodicallyof the realities in the struggle between Constitutionalism / Capitalism and Marxism-Leninism. It is a continual struggle, whether we acknowledge it or not. And the enemy of America as a constitutional republic with a capitalistic economic system is Marxism-Leninism, whether it be characterized as communism, socialism, progressivism, leftism, statism, or liberalism (in its current state).
Historically, we can consider the birth of the fusion between Marxism and Leninism to be in 1917, when Vladimir Lenin first took power as the leader of the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic, later to be known as the USSR. Lenin was the leader of the Bolshevik Revolution that gave the world its first taste of socialism, established as Communism. He transformed the political philosophy of Marxism into his own brand, Marxism-Leninism. Here are a few of his famous quotations1:
"The way to crush the bourgeoisie is to grind them between the millstones of taxation and inflation."
"One man with a gun can control 100 without one."
"A lie told often enough becomes the truth."
"Give me four years to teach the children and the seed I have sown will never be uprooted."
"The oppressed are allowed once every few years to decide which particular representatives of the oppressing class are to represent and repress them in parliament."
"The best way to destroy the capitalist system is to debauch the currency."
"The press should be not only a collective propagandist and a collective agitator, but also a collective organizer of the masses."
"Our program necessarily includes the propaganda of atheism."
"Give us the child for 8 years and it will be a Bolshevik forever."
"There are no morals in politics; there is only expedience. A scoundrel may be of use to us just because he is a scoundrel."
"Democracy is indispensable to socialism."
"It is true that liberty is precious; so precious that it must be carefully rationed."
In a similar vein, Hillary Clinton was immersed in a Marxist environment at an early age. Her senior thesis at Wellesley College was a positive analysis of the dirty political tactics of radical organizer Saul Alinsky, whom she referred to having a "compelling personality" and "exceptional charm."
To illustrate her political leanings, the following are a sampling of her quotations:
"We are going to take things away from you on behalf of the common good."
"It's time for a new beginning, for an end to government of the few, by the few, for the few, and to replace it with shared responsibility for shared prosperity."
"We can't just let business as usual go on, and that means something has to be taken away from some people."
"We have to build a political consensus and that requires people to give up a little bit of their own turf in order to create this common ground."
"I certainly think the free market has failed."
"I think it's time to send a clear message to what has become the most profitable sector in the entire economy, that they are being watched."
"What I want to do is take those profits and apply them to alternative energy."
"I really believe that it takes a village to raise a child.10"
"I also believe that every new handgun sale or transfer should be registered in a national registry...11"
