"The Social-Democratic lackeys, in an attempt to hurt the Communists, taunt them with being "Stalinists." But we Communists are proud of being called by this honorable title, just as we are proud of being called Leninists. There is no greater honor for the proletarian revolutionary than to be a real Leninist, a real Stalinist, to be a supremely faithful follower of Lenin and Stalin. And there is no greater happiness for the Communists than to fight under the leadership of the great Stalin for the triumph of the just cause of the world proletariat."
- Georgi Dimitrov, Stalin and the World Proletariat (1940)
Very, very true. You can find an almost unlimited number of examples of the American empire and its enforcers being incompetent, but they're still likely to crush you just fine when they want to.
:yea: The American state is so entrenched that its bureaucracy will likely keep it murdering along for a long time yet, even as its foot-soldiers drink the more-and-more-ridiculous flavor-aid.
Like I'm pretty bloomer. :communism-will-win:
But I don't think it wins by underestimating the oppressor.
