I knew I could not maintain that leadership in open struggle against Moscow influence. Only two Communist leaders in history ever succeeded in doing this - Tito and Mao Tse-tung.

Mr. Roosevelt has studied well the Hitlerian art and bids fair to outdo the record of his teacher.

Socialism is nothing more nor less than the social, political and ideological system which breaks the fetters upon economic growth created under capitalism and opens the way to a new period of economic and social expansion on a much larger scale.

Did you think we are making a united front [with the Socialists] because we have suddenly been convinced that they are good class-conscious fighters, good leaders of the working class? … precisely the reason why we make the united front with them is because we have got to take their followers away from them.

Be careful, you are about to swallow a deadly poison, which we know from sad experience. Better prepare an emetic, for surely you will soon be in convulsions from sever internal political disturbances.

There is as much chance of a Russo-German agreement as me being elected President of the Chamber of Commerce.

I have opposed the Communist cold war line ever since, both by public utterance and by private help to trade unionists breaking free from the Communist influence.

… the Civil Liberties Union was defending the right of Abramovitch to lie without interruption or heckling.

The American Communists had thrived as champions of domestic reform. But when the Communists abandoned reforms and championed a Soviet Union openly contemptuous of America while predicting its quick collapse, the same party lost all its hard-won influence. It became merely a bad word in the American language.

But I made no efforts to organize my supporters to hold on to the apparatus. Consequently I was soon expelled and my followers, who did not change coats overnight, quietly left or were expelled from the party.

The stage of the development of the productive forces determines the political and ideological superstructure of society which are crystallized into a system of social organization.

The social system grows rigid but the productive forces continue to expand, and conflict ensues between the forces of production and the social conditions of production.

Marxism conceives of the new system of socialism as the necessary outcome of all previous history made possible and necessary only by that previous history.

Because capitalist society has expanded the productive forces so enormously, the social conditions under which it arose lag behind and become fetters holding back the further growth of productive forces.

What remains constant for me, during the last 15 years, has been the conviction that the cold war was a calamity for the entire world, and that it can be justified by no consideration of theory, nor by any supposed national interest.

Marxism is an interpretation of history which explains the progress of society as a product of the expansion of the forces of production of the material means of life, that is, the development of economy.

This radical transformation of world power relationships reflects primarily in the case of both the USA and the USSR the growth of the productive forces.

Americans have always been amongst the most revolutionary people of the world.

There is not the slightest doubt that Lewis is working and has worked during the past two years at least as an integral part of the pro-Nazi fifth column, aiming at a negotiated peace with Hitler, and at the Nazi subjugation of the United States itself.... This is treason.

… a policy of slashing the living standards at home and fighting for market share abroad for the single purpose of maintaining the profits of finance capital … Roosevelt is carrying out more thoroughly and brutally than even Hoover the capitalist attack on the living standards of the masses …

Proletarian dictatorship can become a practical order of the day in America only if President Roosevelt’s promise of a higher standard of living under the present system is defeated or betrayed.
